Great video, Excelent ! The normal everyday aspect of survival & living in the 1700,1800, and early 1900’s Is very relative to the civil war impression. Thank you very much. You have and find awesome great guests always.
I love these vids and the history. I am a retired teacher and history is both fascinating and necessary. Living history must make history interesting. For example, well into the 1950s, a significant portion of the American population was still rural.
very interesting, I learned a lot *LIKED* the video. *1st Minnesota SharpShooters* channel with Civil War reenactor live fire, hard marching, and rustic adventure ... enlist today.
The smaller animal matures to a harvesting size quicker. You can more successfully have pork of the same year the animal is born. Beef is a much longer investment of time.
These videos are always a favorite of mine. As a living historian they are always filled with useful information.
Love these, could you do one on salted/ preserved beef?
Hogs were relatively cheap and easy to grow and they also have litters of babies whereas cattle only have one calf.

I love the civil war and pork!
Wonderful episode. I never knew this about Pork; thanks for posting, Will.
Due to the health risks using sodium nitrate, commercial packers are required to use sodium nitrite.
I can't wait for the curing video, I want to make a properly cured pork for events
Great video!

That's interesting. I've always associated 1800s America with cowboys; therefore, beef. I didn't think pork would be more common.

It’s whatever animal too. Deer, rabbit, turtle, etc….Rabbit is actually very good. Turtle soup is surprisingly good too.
Any available for sale??
Wal-Mart
Pigs could bs sustained on a much cheaper diet and I believe convert food to product more efficiently than cattle
we sell the sqeal to a Volkswagen plant, they use it for the brakes
If they would have only known the secrets of kale back then!
