Agreed, i was blessed enough to have grown up with all this already but many NEED this information because this information is true freedom from the government. When you don't have to rely of uncle Sam for dinner.
none of thats extremism. all of its what weve always had birthright to despite what govt says. nothing is extreme about self sufficiency. that's propaganda by weak dependent people that want to be in charge of other weak and dependent people.
There is a local guy that will come by and install 2 hives on your property for free. He harvests the honey and does the upkeep and the landowner gets the pollination benefits. I think you get a cut of the honey too, but I'm not sure. We've considered looking into it more.
Phenomenonal video. We have a homestead and milk three family milk cows every morning, milk has more laws and the war on food is so real. Way to go my friend
The only laws for milk apply to selling it to other people. You guys are all complaining and larping as if drinking milk you get from your own animals is somehow edgy or breaking the law when its not illegal at all. Same way you don't need a drivers license to drive a car on your own property.
That’s too funny. When my husband was in Korea I sold our house in a subdivision and bought a little one acre homestead so we could just have chickens. 20 years later we are retired on 40 acres with chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, cows, and the occasional pig.
As a Veterinarian and like-minded civilian, I appreciate what you've done here and your explanation of how to care for each animal. Nice simple, budget homestead that looks very effective. Subbed.
A civilian youtuber with nods is not the best example of being warrior in a garden. A warrior in a garden would be more concerned with keeping his NV equipment ready to use defending his animals from predators and not killing the batteries while milking goats in the daytime in a dark shed. 😂😂😂 This guy is a TV host, not a warrior.

Sir you've earned a sub. I grew up on a homestead in Appalachia. A milk cow, some hair sheep (super cool thing to look into for a quickly replentishing meat source), hogs, and chickens. If you ever decide to upscale to about 10 acres of hay pasture and an acre or so of feed corn, you'll quickly find that the monetary cost of livestock goes way down as long as you keep the number reasonable. We had a neighbor with haying tractors, so they'd hay for us in exchange for a cut of the bales for their livestock, and permission to use our trout fishing hole. Sorry for the block of text, you just made a mountain boy homesick is all.
Another big thing is if you don’t plan to sell this stuff then don’t tell people about it. This doesn’t just go for raising animals, this goes for everything that has to do with preparedness. Remember in a scenario where you have to fall back on those canned goods and other things you might have prepared, all it takes is a single desperate person remembering that you’ve got that stuff and then they’re going to be coming for you.

@@Bibitybopitybacon im gonna be honest man its alot more intrequite than raising rabbits because of energy needs and the potential for your entire system to go tits up due to issues. personally i use a 270 IBC tank system with a phisical and bio filter set up in 2 55 gallon tanks with a clay media bed on top of it all. this will be my first summer using it so i cant totally say how it compares to rabbits just yet.
@@WhiteWolfeHU there's a handful of fish you can use. Bottom feeders like catfish thrive and you can catch lake fish like bass. Bass thrive in that environment too.
Good stuff. We feed our goats pine tree boughs as a natural dewormer. We’re not milking ours so they just primarily forage and browse to remove trees. We’re steering away from goats and keeping only sheep though- tastier and easier to keep rotating on small grass paddocks. For chickens we also sprout black oil sunflower seeds to feed them, and make fenced off parts of the ground so green things (grass, weeds, crops) can survive for them to forage inside their large run.
These guys actually got me interested into farming under the premise of independence and security. Fantastic cinematography, info, and jokes! Thanks Dirty Civillian!
That rooster told you what was up in the beginning. Growing up with chickens, we had a enclosed "fence". Chainlink 360 degree, yes even under the ground. And chicken fence/wire (the one with tiny holes) from 10cm under the ground to about 50cm up the fence inside (double layer). The fox and hawk could not get in, and they tried. Big snakes did not get in, and our cat got the small ones. And it was half you goat fence size. Awesome video, keep up the great content. PS Charlie must have misplace his rake in this video.
I've seen just about every " food not lawns" liberalish urban/rural homesteading. but this is definitely the first libertarian homesteading video I've seen
Man I haven't seen anyone else include horse quality hay, baking soda, and the minerals. Don't forget selenium and to copper bolus as needed. We do all our own doctoring and shots for the goats too.
Fantastic explanation on the animal husbandry, care and shelter. Just sub'd. Look forward to seeing more of your lessons learned. Disabled Army combat vet here. Appreciate the NODs point of view. Driving with NODs is a whole different experience. Looking forward to milking with them!
This is the way. The way you broke down independence was eye opening through spectacular presentation and VERY basic husbandry. It will lead others to partial self-sufficiency is and is a gift to those who think “I can’t because” . Preach brothers
Fantastic! I watch a ton of Homesteading RUclips videos and this is the first one that has brought anything remotely “tactical” even if it was mostly about homesteading. If you could throw down more including how to safeguard your property and keep your perimeter secure in case the wheels fall off, that would be so useful! Thanks, I have chickens but I’ve never had goats, I learned so much about goats! Thanks for the funny stuff too!
I wouldn't take advice like that from these guys. In their intro skit their dog didn't start barking until its too late when in reality a couple dogs will let you know when anything new is on your property.
We are building a farm in San Luis Colorado from the ground up currently. Everyone on my team at Dominick Farms loves your videos! We are going to try and get some Alfalfa and Quinoa planted to try and feed the chickens. We have heard about some farmers in Australia feeding Sorghum to the chickens, but they do not like it so much. Other farmers just like you give us inspiration each day to push on!
I am prepping right on the other side of the mountain range in the bighorn sheep canyon with dairy sheep as the back bone of my operation we should collaborate and atleaste share some ideas
I enjoy spending time with my animals every day. Come home from work, and unwind by feeding the chickens. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.
To expand on how the Health regime is already in full effect: I'm trying to find a pediatrician that doesn't demand that my infant son get a dozen shots in the first 6 months of life and it seems to be impossible. Good work gentlemen. Keep it up.
Same for my family. In Mississippi it seems that our only option is to homeschool if our baby girl doesn’t get the multiple shots that they “recommend”.
You guys did a great job on making this videos super entertaining even though it’s not generally regarded as an entertaining subject. Lots of valuable information too
DANNY, on JUDY’S you tube: EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!! My wife and I have been kicking this idea around for a few years. We are both retired now(just waiting for me to heal, ruptured Achilles Tendon), so we’re spending time on logistics. Got two acres bought and paid for, so we’ve got a little more time to plan. I will admit, it’s a little intimidating, but both of our families come from farming(sharecroppers)back several generations, so hopefully a little bit rubbed off on us!! Thanks for the info, it’s EXACTLY what we needed for now. Look forward to more like this!!👌👍
A nice addition is planting marigolds near the chicken coop, obviously where the goats wont eat it. But the chickens love it and it will make their yolks vibrant orange and its really good for them
Great video. We have had chickens for about 10 years along with a couple goats. Loss of chickens to predators has been an ebb and flow like last year we lost 10 at one time which was probably captors and then the last six months about 6 by most likely a bobcat, but as you said that's homesteading. Keep the intent coming. Prep On T-man
THIS. Saw a thumbnail with a man decked in tactical gear, holding a rifle in one hand and a goat in the other. With a title and name like that I couldn't help but click. AWESOME. New subscriber
I am super exited that you guys are sharing this information. It’s all extremely useful. The only thing I wish you would share is WHERE DOES ONE GET THAT HOODIE! Lol that thing is awesome
Love this video! Can we get a video next on growing a garden and canning if you guys do that? I wanna do a garden this year and can some beans and corn but I’ve never done it before and I know the info out there but it would be so much more entertaining and educational to watch Drew can green beans under nods lol
@@Inawoods been canning for years it's not hard at all as long as you can follow directions and s yay on task while doing it. Get yourself a jiggle weight (not pressure guage, jiggle weight never needs to be calibrated) pressure canner, and you can do it all (pressure or water bath). Two is great because you can run a batch, and get a next batch set up while the first one cools down (you have to wait for pressure canners to cool slowly before opening).
Big hello from up here in Saskatchewan Canada! Love that you tossed the nods on for this. I tend to my garden at night the odd time and have been wearing my nods. Love the channel guys.
Okay, I'm going to be brutally honest. I watched your video on sustainment dirt bikes a while back and said to myself, "Here's another bunch of RUclips wanna be's, riding around on dirt bikes with AR 15s and looking like a bunch of dorks." Then, I ran across this video and being interested in homesteading and raising livestock, I watched it. Now I've gotta eat eat my words, damn it! It was well scripted, well read and was a great source of information. Congratulations, you just earned a new subscriber. Looking forward to more videos. Keep up the good work!
Was waiting for this! So awesome appreciate the information and time! Im at 11 hens, was going to get a few more and hopefully goats this year! Been such a blessing to eat fresh eggs and give so many to people!
More impressed with the people working to be self sufficient these days. Independence comes in a lot more shapes and sizes than just the 2nd Amendment. Community is key. Keep it up guys. "I see your crye precision and raise you a 1700 Sq ft garden."
Love this content and the details on the why and how questions. Very informative and covered things that I never had thought of and to be honest I watched the video a couple times to pick up all the information that you covered. I enjoyed watching the video and I am currently working doing my own homestead. Thank you for being detailed on the subject matter it is greatly appreciated.
Just recently moved from the city to the sticks for the soul purpose to start something like this myself. Keep producing amazing helpful and entertaining content! I learned a ton, thanks for the inspiration!
We've been off-grid Homesteading for over 3 years. 17 Nigerian Dwarf Goats currently. Don't forget natural browse for them. Ours love maple, oak and beech leaves. Also get lettuce/cabbage and other greens from the garden. Their hay waste gets scooped up and fed to our 5 America Guinea Hogs. Our closest Vet is an hour away, so YES!, learn learn learn.
I'm building the same thing on my 2 acres. I'm a Air Force/ Army Combat Vet. 11 years. So far, we have 8 chickens and a food forest. 20 different trees and a bunch of other edible and medicinal plants. I'm building a shop, office, and material building out of pallets on two old sheds. My wife wants goats but I'm nervous about getting in to those. Seeing your farm makes me think I can do this. I have a buddy that owns a flooring business and have access to all the pallets I want. Tactical homesteading is a great way to say what I'm doing.
This is exactly how my homestead has started… “we need 8-10 chickens”…. We now have 36! Im currently expanding the chicken run from 128sqft - to over 1500Sqft. She already wants goats, and apparently I just found out were doing bees 🐝 this year! 🙄 lol😂
Cedar shavings specifically will keep bugs and snakes away, used to put that in the dog house. Also, there's a reason we switched to pasteurized milk, animals can carry a lot of disease and without showing symptoms, including tuberculosis, and it lasts longer. And it's not particularly hard to do, it's just heating it up to a steady steam, you can look up the temperature yourself, and holding it there for a certain period of time.
Wow. Thanks for your video! I was considering to get a couple goats, but honestly I don't think I can invest in them just now. Thanks for being up front and transparent about it. Keep us the good work
I just found you guys, and love your content. I fish in Alaska every September for a week, and come home with 50-60lbs of coho salmon fillets. I come home and trade with our neighbor for eggs throughout the year. I must say though, I’m kinda scared to talk about this on an open forum. Keep up the videos, they are fantastic.
This is a must for anyone looking to be self-sufficient. When I was deployed to Kenya, every Kenyan fob that we went to had some combination of cows, goats, chickens, and warthogs that they would be able to sustain themselves with due to poor logistics from their higher units, and the rainy season washing out roads which made resupply impossible for weeks, sometimes for months. Every day we would get to eat farm fresh food to supplement the MRE's we brought out. It was quite a sight, seeing all these farm animals walking around howitzers and APC's, and guys in camo doing farm stuff, sometimes with rifles slung around their backs. One day the dogs and warthogs got into a fight, and one of the warthogs launched a dog 4 feet in the air! the little fella was fine after, sure was barking up a storm, I'd be mad too! There are plenty of other examples of farm life and tactical life intermingling, especially in developing countries. Guns and ammo are not the only things you need to be self sufficient! they only allow you to defend what is rightfully yours.
As a goat, owner, and a chicken owner, I want to add some feedback here. First off awesome video! My experience with goats has been very simple. I have never had to deworm them. They do also cohabitate a half acre pasture with a barn and separate coop with 20 or 30 chickens. I think I have been lucky with parasites, but I also have 12 acres that I pretty much let them roam free half of the time. My goods are five beautiful, healthy, plump, those of varying breeds. They do have access to hay and minerals, never have given them baking soda. I’ve only had goats for three years, but I feel like the more space goats have, the easier they are to take care of in terms of maintaining their health, etc.
Loved the content. I have to ask the question, where did you get the camo jacket? I like the pockets up front and the elastic cuff's. You could sell me yours since you spilled egg over it and the mike.
Hi Gary from the UK here grate video very interesting and informative keep them coming. I have had chickens for many years so as a newcomers to chickens I have some tips for you. Put some oyster shell grit in a tray it's good for digestion and the eggs shells. If you get scale mites on their legs, hold the birds upside down, hold them bye there legs and paint there legs with paraffin then let them go, if need be after two to three days give them another coating but it usually works after one coating, the scales go back to flat . I have always used layers pellet and corn for fee here in the UK do you have the same no powder in it, if you have the same or similar, than I have a grate idea for you it works perfect for you and you only need to refill once a month

I HIGHLY recommend getting into bee keeping, even having 1-2 hives makes so much natural honey with so many benefits.
For real. People take sugar for granted, but for most of human history concentrated sources of sugar were hard to come by.
Honey is definitely something to do.
There is a local guy that will come by and install 2 hives on your property for free. He harvests the honey and does the upkeep and the landowner gets the pollination benefits. I think you get a cut of the honey too, but I'm not sure. We've considered looking into it more.

Dude... that intro soundtrack was incredible! Holy cow
So entertaining, informative, factual, funny, well made, amazingly filmed. Awesome job to you and everyone you work with-
It was a huge team effort. We couldn't do this without everyone bringing their expertise to the collective table. Thanks!
The music, the coloring, the fact you some how had my full attention despite me not even thinking about this. Amazing. Subscribed.
Amazing times . The merged of the tactical / hikking and homesteading community
I've seen just about every " food not lawns" liberalish urban/rural homesteading. but this is definitely the first libertarian homesteading video I've seen
Man I haven't seen anyone else include horse quality hay, baking soda, and the minerals. Don't forget selenium and to copper bolus as needed. We do all our own doctoring and shots for the goats too.
Absolutely. We left out quite a bit but the full recommended supply list goes up on the resource page in a day or two.
@@dirty-civilian Really do appreciate what y'all are doing and accomplishing. Thank you.
Fantastic explanation on the animal husbandry, care and shelter. Just sub'd. Look forward to seeing more of your lessons learned. Disabled Army combat vet here. Appreciate the NODs point of view. Driving with NODs is a whole different experience. Looking forward to milking with them!
This channel keeps gettin better and better!
This is the way. The way you broke down independence was eye opening through spectacular presentation and VERY basic husbandry. It will lead others to partial self-sufficiency is and is a gift to those who think “I can’t because” . Preach brothers
Outstanding video. Retired military, also starting a homestead...all in one video. Love it. Subscribed!
Fantastic! I watch a ton of Homesteading RUclips videos and this is the first one that has brought anything remotely “tactical” even if it was mostly about homesteading. If you could throw down more including how to safeguard your property and keep your perimeter secure in case the wheels fall off, that would be so useful! Thanks, I have chickens but I’ve never had goats, I learned so much about goats! Thanks for the funny stuff too!
I wouldn't take advice like that from these guys. In their intro skit their dog didn't start barking until its too late when in reality a couple dogs will let you know when anything new is on your property.
We are building a farm in San Luis Colorado from the ground up currently. Everyone on my team at Dominick Farms loves your videos! We are going to try and get some Alfalfa and Quinoa planted to try and feed the chickens. We have heard about some farmers in Australia feeding Sorghum to the chickens, but they do not like it so much. Other farmers just like you give us inspiration each day to push on!
I am prepping right on the other side of the mountain range in the bighorn sheep canyon with dairy sheep as the back bone of my operation we should collaborate and atleaste share some ideas
I enjoy spending time with my animals every day. Come home from work, and unwind by feeding the chickens. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.
To expand on how the Health regime is already in full effect: I'm trying to find a pediatrician that doesn't demand that my infant son get a dozen shots in the first 6 months of life and it seems to be impossible.
Good work gentlemen. Keep it up.
Same. We had to say specifically that our daughter is on a “delayed” shot schedule before they’d see her.
@@dirty-civilian By delayed you mean eventually right? Smallpox and Influenza are a b*tch.
Same for my family. In Mississippi it seems that our only option is to homeschool if our baby girl doesn’t get the multiple shots that they “recommend”.
This is by far the best video we've seen on homesteading.
Thank you and God bless! 🙏✝️❤️🔥
Oh man this was way more entertaining than expected.
Blown away by how well produced this video is. Holy moly. Great info too.
This was the content I didn't know I needed. So useful, informative, and important! Keep it up dudes.
You guys are absolutely F'ing killing it with the content. I'm so excited for the future of this!
Thank you!
self sufficiency is the greatest enemy to the powers that control us
Agree
I subbed pretty quickly into the video. No filler, just pure necessary information!
You guys did a great job on making this videos super entertaining even though it’s not generally regarded as an entertaining subject. Lots of valuable information too
That's the goal. Thank you!
Great video! Been looking for this content from authentic men with Christ centered values… Tough to find. Awesome.
This channel is 🔥 and will continue to blow up as long as the overlords keep away from it. Great work guys.
DANNY, on JUDY’S you tube: EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!! My wife and I have been kicking this idea around for a few years. We are both retired now(just waiting for me to heal, ruptured Achilles Tendon), so we’re spending time on logistics. Got two acres bought and paid for, so we’ve got a little more time to plan. I will admit, it’s a little intimidating, but both of our families come from farming(sharecroppers)back several generations, so hopefully a little bit rubbed off on us!! Thanks for the info, it’s EXACTLY what we needed for now. Look forward to more like this!!👌👍
This was monumental and so desperately needed. Thank you so much
A nice addition is planting marigolds near the chicken coop, obviously where the goats wont eat it. But the chickens love it and it will make their yolks vibrant orange and its really good for them
Great video. We have had chickens for about 10 years along with a couple goats. Loss of chickens to predators has been an ebb and flow like last year we lost 10 at one time which was probably captors and then the last six months about 6 by most likely a bobcat, but as you said that's homesteading. Keep the intent coming. Prep On T-man
THIS. Saw a thumbnail with a man decked in tactical gear, holding a rifle in one hand and a goat in the other. With a title and name like that I couldn't help but click. AWESOME. New subscriber
I am super exited that you guys are sharing this information. It’s all extremely useful. The only thing I wish you would share is WHERE DOES ONE GET THAT HOODIE! Lol that thing is awesome
I need to know too!!
Easy enough to make, but I'm curious also as to where it's from.
He said he doesn't know. Said he thinks it's branded but got as a gift several years ago.
Amazing content. I grew up on the country side and remember all that from my grandparents.
I’m now convinced that nods may be a worthwhile investment. 😁
Love this video! Can we get a video next on growing a garden and canning if you guys do that? I wanna do a garden this year and can some beans and corn but I’ve never done it before and I know the info out there but it would be so much more entertaining and educational to watch Drew can green beans under nods lol
Gardening is on the list. As well as canning. And some other... methods.
I'm looking forward to canning. That's one that seems to have a dizzying amount of info and makes starting difficult.
As well as some egg glassing
@@Inawoods been canning for years it's not hard at all as long as you can follow directions and s yay on task while doing it. Get yourself a jiggle weight (not pressure guage, jiggle weight never needs to be calibrated) pressure canner, and you can do it all (pressure or water bath). Two is great because you can run a batch, and get a next batch set up while the first one cools down (you have to wait for pressure canners to cool slowly before opening).
Big hello from up here in Saskatchewan Canada! Love that you tossed the nods on for this. I tend to my garden at night the odd time and have been wearing my nods. Love the channel guys.
Okay, I'm going to be brutally honest. I watched your video on sustainment dirt bikes a while back and said to myself, "Here's another bunch of RUclips wanna be's, riding around on dirt bikes with AR 15s and looking like a bunch of dorks." Then, I ran across this video and being interested in homesteading and raising livestock, I watched it. Now I've gotta eat eat my words, damn it! It was well scripted, well read and was a great source of information. Congratulations, you just earned a new subscriber. Looking forward to more videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man. Everyone in the crew brings something a little different to the table. Not everything is for everyone, but something is. 🤙
I've recently acquired a fixer upper that comes on just over an acre of land and Ive been trying to talk the wife into this
Keep working on it. She'll come around.
My husband sent me this for educational purposes. I am intimidated and excited.
Great video, great topic, you guys are kicking butt! Love the intros, vibe, info. Whole shebang.
Excellent educational content for taking care of your family, and the animals that provide for you!
Was waiting for this! So awesome appreciate the information and time! Im at 11 hens, was going to get a few more and hopefully goats this year! Been such a blessing to eat fresh eggs and give so many to people!
I've worked at dairy's, keep up the good work. The goats will enjoy music and a serenade.
More impressed with the people working to be self sufficient these days. Independence comes in a lot more shapes and sizes than just the 2nd Amendment. Community is key. Keep it up guys.
"I see your crye precision and raise you a 1700 Sq ft garden."
After being up at 4 to rebuild my fire. With hazy eyes. Your dual suppressive fire milk blasters really got me smiling 🎉😂
this is awesome, well done guys. your channel is blowing up for good reason!
Love this content and the details on the why and how questions. Very informative and covered things that I never had thought of and to be honest I watched the video a couple times to pick up all the information that you covered. I enjoyed watching the video and I am currently working doing my own homestead. Thank you for being detailed on the subject matter it is greatly appreciated.
Just recently moved from the city to the sticks for the soul purpose to start something like this myself. Keep producing amazing helpful and entertaining content! I learned a ton, thanks for the inspiration!
Sound effects while milking (priceless!)
Excellent example of animal husbandry.
*sips raw milk*
"Oh, man. There's some fed out there super angry right now."
10/10. Keep the content flowing, guys.
The glowie seethe makes it taste better
We've been off-grid Homesteading for over 3 years. 17 Nigerian Dwarf Goats currently. Don't forget natural browse for them. Ours love maple, oak and beech leaves. Also get lettuce/cabbage and other greens from the garden. Their hay waste gets scooped up and fed to our 5 America Guinea Hogs. Our closest Vet is an hour away, so YES!, learn learn learn.
As a 20 year goat farmer I approve this message
I'm building the same thing on my 2 acres. I'm a Air Force/ Army Combat Vet. 11 years. So far, we have 8 chickens and a food forest. 20 different trees and a bunch of other edible and medicinal plants. I'm building a shop, office, and material building out of pallets on two old sheds. My wife wants goats but I'm nervous about getting in to those. Seeing your farm makes me think I can do this. I have a buddy that owns a flooring business and have access to all the pallets I want. Tactical homesteading is a great way to say what I'm doing.
Great video - you guys are providing awesome, useful content. 👍
So many good tips for beginners.
You jumped in the deep end by going straight to dairy goats.
This is exactly how my homestead has started… “we need 8-10 chickens”…. We now have 36! Im currently expanding the chicken run from 128sqft - to over 1500Sqft. She already wants goats, and apparently I just found out were doing bees 🐝 this year! 🙄 lol😂
Ah, the dreaded Chicken Math... the struggle is real! lol
Cedar shavings specifically will keep bugs and snakes away, used to put that in the dog house.
Also, there's a reason we switched to pasteurized milk, animals can carry a lot of disease and without showing symptoms, including tuberculosis, and it lasts longer. And it's not particularly hard to do, it's just heating it up to a steady steam, you can look up the temperature yourself, and holding it there for a certain period of time.
Was just starting to wonder what I was doing tonight
Wow. Thanks for your video! I was considering to get a couple goats, but honestly I don't think I can invest in them just now. Thanks for being up front and transparent about it. Keep us the good work
I just found you guys, and love your content. I fish in Alaska every September for a week, and come home with 50-60lbs of coho salmon fillets. I come home and trade with our neighbor for eggs throughout the year. I must say though, I’m kinda scared to talk about this on an open forum. Keep up the videos, they are fantastic.
That sounds like a blast. Jealous.
This is a must for anyone looking to be self-sufficient. When I was deployed to Kenya, every Kenyan fob that we went to had some combination of cows, goats, chickens, and warthogs that they would be able to sustain themselves with due to poor logistics from their higher units, and the rainy season washing out roads which made resupply impossible for weeks, sometimes for months. Every day we would get to eat farm fresh food to supplement the MRE's we brought out. It was quite a sight, seeing all these farm animals walking around howitzers and APC's, and guys in camo doing farm stuff, sometimes with rifles slung around their backs. One day the dogs and warthogs got into a fight, and one of the warthogs launched a dog 4 feet in the air! the little fella was fine after, sure was barking up a storm, I'd be mad too! There are plenty of other examples of farm life and tactical life intermingling, especially in developing countries. Guns and ammo are not the only things you need to be self sufficient! they only allow you to defend what is rightfully yours.
Thank you for being yourselves. You're giving out good info that I know my kids are safe to watch
As a goat, owner, and a chicken owner, I want to add some feedback here. First off awesome video! My experience with goats has been very simple. I have never had to deworm them. They do also cohabitate a half acre pasture with a barn and separate coop with 20 or 30 chickens. I think I have been lucky with parasites, but I also have 12 acres that I pretty much let them roam free half of the time. My goods are five beautiful, healthy, plump, those of varying breeds. They do have access to hay and minerals, never have given them baking soda. I’ve only had goats for three years, but I feel like the more space goats have, the easier they are to take care of in terms of maintaining their health, etc.
Bro that pullover is DOPE! Where do I find it?
Loved the content. I have to ask the question, where did you get the camo jacket? I like the pockets up front and the elastic cuff's. You could sell me yours since you spilled egg over it and the mike.
This was fn FANTASTIC mate ty so much.
I really hope someone sees this… But WHAT IS THAT Jacket/hoodie? Lol I need one.
Hi Gary from the UK here grate video very interesting and informative keep them coming.
I have had chickens for many years so as a newcomers to chickens I have some tips for you.
Put some oyster shell grit in a tray it's good for digestion and the eggs shells.
If you get scale mites on their legs, hold the birds upside down, hold them bye there legs and paint there legs with paraffin then let them go, if need be after two to three days give them another coating but it usually works after one coating, the scales go back to flat .
I have always used layers pellet and corn for fee here in the UK do you have the same no powder in it, if you have the same or similar, than I have a grate idea for you it works perfect for you and you only need to refill once a month
My raw milk connection has absolutely been pulled over on her milk route and has had all her raw milk confiscated. It's ridiculous more need to come to this realization of our food under multidimensional attack
Raw milk WILL kill you unless you know what you're doing, which the majority of the population doesn't
