Wow the production quality of your videos is insane! The information and value you guys put out there is on another level too! I love your vids and you guys, you always make me laugh lol Keep it up, greetings from Germany
My experience is a that neighbor usually have cheap eggs. Goats are great, dorper sheep are the better meat, better than venison and about the size of Texas whitetail. Home grown hogs are the most efficient meat, far better than store bought. Turkeys are calm and less destructive. Limit the dogs, a hog eats about the same as a good sized dog and are big and ready in 8 months
@@Steelcity77 sure, also they'll learn to stay around when you are outside, no real need for a big fenced area right away. The best way to start is a show sheep or hog, raised gently by a kid and they are fun to teach the basics of some freedom. Feed them for a couple of months and they are ready for harvest
This is my first time viewing of your videos , Im only4 minutes in and I already love it !!!! , ...... I suscribed , keep up the good work Brother !!!!
Flooring in a chicken only area that is not daily maintenance. - I think a conveyer belt with a hopper of cedar and hay could supply a conveyer belt floor. I think the conveyer belt could be positioned to a upward track and the flooring dumped onto a wire mesh the same as the fence. I think the pile of flooring could be sifted and put back into the hopper. I would put the interior wall closer than the floor conveyer. I would have a separate area of feed and water with a alarm and multiple daily instant water heater warm up and poor water to clean the floor into a drained area by having the floor angled to promote water flow. I think the time of investment would be returned and asset growth of personal time would increase after with a decreased cost and more credibility of efficient efforts producing. I think timer switches could be used to trigger the activities.
Honestly confused about how to keep this sustainable in a SHTF scenario. If you need horse hay, minerals, baking soda, chicken feed, etc. how are you going to get all this if you don’t have stores to go to… can someone please make a video on this on how to get the materials needed to keep the animals alive without going to a store
Active duty army. My family depends on me staying in so i cant prep and go and do where i want to be set up like this. I know this puts me at a huge disadvantage and well behind the curve with preparedness. Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place and i dont have a tribe or community like this to fall back on if it all goes south. Any advice?
We raise chickens and 2 goats at our house in a fairly urban area. The biggest threat to our little barrio homestead is surprisingly not black teenagers but those damn HAWKS. You’d think a city would be a target rich environment for any bird, but those hawks won’t settle for less and they have gone in for the kill many times in my backyard. It’s getting to the point when I let the chickens out of their coop, I stay out there with a BB gun.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@danielgoggans4012 don't you have anything better to do than knock a clearly capable guy simply having fun once in awhile? I bet you call non-grunts POG too.
@@GorillahTKOimagine calling personnel other than grunts, personnel other than grunts… absolutely ridiculous. Civilian version would be like everyone who doesn’t work for the city having the outlook that everyone who works for the city are police. The dude who takes care of the flowers at the park is not a police officer. My wife is a 911 dispatch supervisor (comms), she’s not a police officer. I guess the real question is, why do pogs, get upset about being called pogs?
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.
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.
Homesteading under nods, epic! Charlie and Micah, you guys are priceless. Thank you for sharing life sustaining tips with us all and keep the show rolling.

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.
It's like looking into a mirror! We've been Homesteading for a year now, chickens, goats, guardian dog, wife buying animals constantly, pallet structures and fences...all of it! Never a dull moment for sure. I'm subbed buddy!
Makes me miss growing up on our little family farm. Can you guys do a video or talk about gardening and canning at some point if you have the experience? Great content, this the next level we all need.
im building an aquaponics system right now. this mixed with a rabbit hutch gives you 2 almost completely SILENT sources of meat, for when the Gestapo comes snooping around the neighborhood. you can literally raise rabbits in a hole in the ground, and while fish are a little more in depth aquaculture and aquaponics like rabbits allow you to grow a large amount of meat in a small amount of space. (with the added benefit of growing rabbit and human food using fish waste)
@@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.
I crave what you're doing. I'll be moving and buy property within the next year and will 100% be starting a homestead. The amount of work and cost initially is insane for eggs and milk. Makes me nervous to relocate my whole family across the country, but giving the power back to me and my family, as well as taking some pride into what we consume is quite a motivation. Absolutely love this content, outstanding job.
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.
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.
I highly recommend keeping your hay in an enclosed shed if you live in a damp climate. My sister lost both of her goats when their hay got wet and molded. She didn’t know, fed it to them, and they died after breathing in the mold spores.
I’m getting out of the military in 6 months and moving back to TN. My wife and I are planning on doing exactly this so thanks so much for this video!! Exactly what I need right now!
join up with Farmer Veteran Coalition.. they have an awesome chapter in TN.. brothers and sisters that actually help support each other in your AG adventure.
Glad I came across this channel. I've been actively building a community of families for this very reason. All with different experiences, some vets, active duty, married with kids, married, and single. It's good to know that we're not the only ones.
These guys actually got me interested into farming under the premise of independence and security. Fantastic cinematography, info, and jokes! Thanks Dirty Civillian!
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
As someone who is getting dairy goats and chickens in the very near future, this is possibly THE BEST video I've seen on the subject(s). Thank you much sir, and I'd love to see similar homesteading videos from you!
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.
I can't say it enough but your team is killing it with the content you provide. You're a "one stop shop" for preparedness. And that's amazing. Keep up the great work!
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.
Just found this channel! Former recon with 82nd and then LEO. Just retired and moving to be with family in rural TN. You guys are spot in in your ideas and methodology. Well done!
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.
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."
Alright @DirtyCivilian don't know if you can tell from the comments alone but I'm going to re-enforce what everyone else is saying. its time to either create your own version of that jacket/hoodie and sell it, or give the people what they want and figure out where you got it from/the brand and link em.
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.
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!
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😂
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
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”.
GREAT info! Question: where can I find the anorak you’re wearing in this video? Spread some Timothy and Alfalfa seed around in a grassy are where the goats can graze. It’s cheaper than buying hay and less storage, and if you have to be away, the goats can self-feed. Also, the sunflower, beet pulp mix is good for the chickens, too. Fedzilla is attempting to regulate de-wormers and remove them from Ranch Supply Stores. Keep a stock on-hand to avoid the Fedzilla siege. I grew up working summers on my Cousin’s dairy farm. We milked cows, goats and sheep. We drank the milk raw and sold the excess at the local Farmer’s Market. Amazing how nowadays it’s become “illegal” to sell something that is naturally healthy. Such complete BULL💩!
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL EVERYONE!! THIS IS THE WAY AMERICANS NEED TO BE LIVING, UNRELIANT ON A GOVERMENT WHO HATES US AND WANTS TO ENSLAVE US!
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!
Great info. I’m looking to start a small (4-5 chickens) urban homestead in my backyard. I’ve never done it before but im planting my first seeds and learning about chickens. I’ve subbed because all the great info. My question for you, where did you get the jacket/pullover?
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
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
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.
This is the info we actually need
Yes!
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.
Amen to that!
This goy will be the first to turn in his toys
The goats need scopes and lasers railed to their horns. Those buggers are sneaky and nasty.
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.
@@dirty-civilian I sure do hope you get to get a cut of that sweet sweet nectar of the Gods!
And then, next step: making hydromel.
@@MrDantheNobody sugar usually wasn’t super hard to some by, it’s usually been used for medicinal purposes not for food though.

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.

I like that pullover camo hoodie. What is it? Where did you find it? Thanks 👍
I highly recommend keeping your hay in an enclosed shed if you live in a damp climate. My sister lost both of her goats when their hay got wet and molded. She didn’t know, fed it to them, and they died after breathing in the mold spores.
So unfortunate.
This channel is 🔥 and will continue to blow up as long as the overlords keep away from it. Great work guys.
Cut the sh*t people, we need a link to that jacket, pronto! My man is looking fresh af on the homestead!
I’m getting out of the military in 6 months and moving back to TN. My wife and I are planning on doing exactly this so thanks so much for this video!! Exactly what I need right now!
join up with Farmer Veteran Coalition.. they have an awesome chapter in TN.. brothers and sisters that actually help support each other in your AG adventure.
@@DanaNorth-o3k that’s awesome thanks a lot!
Hell yeah man, I live in Tennessee. Need help moving here lmk
You're short-timing now. How's the planning going?
@@ronwatford7331 going good. Made it to TN 2 weeks ago and loving life so far
Where can one get the smock/anorak you're wearing? I'd love to have one.
If you find out let me know as well thanks
Glad I came across this channel. I've been actively building a community of families for this very reason. All with different experiences, some vets, active duty, married with kids, married, and single. It's good to know that we're not the only ones.
state?
@@RanchKings NC
Awesome info. Who makes that woodland anorak?
We need to know this
These guys actually got me interested into farming under the premise of independence and security. Fantastic cinematography, info, and jokes! Thanks Dirty Civillian!
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.
As someone who is getting dairy goats and chickens in the very near future, this is possibly THE BEST video I've seen on the subject(s). Thank you much sir, and I'd love to see similar homesteading videos from you!
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.
Was just starting to wonder what I was doing tonight
I can't say it enough but your team is killing it with the content you provide. You're a "one stop shop" for preparedness. And that's amazing. Keep up the great work!
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.
Just found this channel! Former recon with 82nd and then LEO. Just retired and moving to be with family in rural TN. You guys are spot in in your ideas and methodology. Well done!
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.
I just really want to know what jacket that is?!
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."
Dude. I'm in. Great work .
Correct, we are STILL being divided. People STILL don't see. Prepare.
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.
Alright @DirtyCivilian don't know if you can tell from the comments alone but I'm going to re-enforce what everyone else is saying. its time to either create your own version of that jacket/hoodie and sell it, or give the people what they want and figure out where you got it from/the brand and link em.
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.
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!
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
Being thankful to the animals that provide us so many things is not corny in anyway.
Who makes that hoodie?
100% would love a homesteading channel that incorporates real world useful tactical
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
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”.
Great stuff. You’re officially my people. Anybody that milks goats under NODs is somebody I need to know.
GREAT info! Question: where can I find the anorak you’re wearing in this video?
Spread some Timothy and Alfalfa seed around in a grassy are where the goats can graze. It’s cheaper than buying hay and less storage, and if you have to be away, the goats can self-feed. Also, the sunflower, beet pulp mix is good for the chickens, too.
Fedzilla is attempting to regulate de-wormers and remove them from Ranch Supply Stores. Keep a stock on-hand to avoid the Fedzilla siege.
I grew up working summers on my Cousin’s dairy farm. We milked cows, goats and sheep. We drank the milk raw and sold the excess at the local Farmer’s Market. Amazing how nowadays it’s become “illegal” to sell something that is naturally healthy. Such complete BULL💩!
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL EVERYONE!! THIS IS THE WAY AMERICANS NEED TO BE LIVING, UNRELIANT ON A GOVERMENT WHO HATES US AND WANTS TO ENSLAVE US!
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!
what jacket are you wearing sir? id love to have one.
Great info. I’m looking to start a small (4-5 chickens) urban homestead in my backyard. I’ve never done it before but im planting my first seeds and learning about chickens. I’ve subbed because all the great info.
My question for you, where did you get the jacket/pullover?
Oh man this was way more entertaining than expected.
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
This was the content I didn't know I needed. So useful, informative, and important! Keep it up dudes.
What you in for?
Unauthorized possession of unpasteurized dairy
😮
The enemies are wearing N95 masks 😂
What's the hoodie your wearing..? can I get one in MARPAT..?
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
Awesome. Uncle Joe is doing everything he can to break this country. We have to take care of ourselves. Self preservation. 101 good job
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.
I’m now convinced that nods may be a worthwhile investment. 😁
This channel keeps gettin better and better!
Outstanding video. Retired military, also starting a homestead...all in one video. Love it. Subscribed!
