    I'm really excited about today's video because we are finally starting our cabin addition but we've made some changes to our original plans. This addition to our 576 sq ft off grid Alaska cabin, will give us some much needed food storage space. I love our cabin just the way it is but as homesteaders, we garden & raise a lot of our own meat so food preservation & storage is a big deal for our family. Starting this addition early in the summer will ensure that we can have it completed before the cold dark winter arrives! We're dispatching two of our roosters in today's video & processing them for meat & homemade bone stock. Busy busy on the homestead, thanks for joining us for another video! Cheers...
    *************
    Homemade bone stock: You will need:
    3.5 to 4 lbs beef bones or 1-2 chicken carcass (plus a handful of chicken feet optional)
    A couple of carrots chopped
    A couple of celery stalks chopped
    1 onion
    2 TBS apple cider vinegar
    Toss any saved veggies in there that you may have been tucking away for your stock!
    Fresh herbs: (optional) Thyme Rosemary Oregano
    Salt/pepper
    Throw everything in a pot with water (I use 1 quart of water for each pound of bones/meat). Bring to a boil & then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 3-4 hrs. Strain solids out through a tea towel & then ladle your stock into jars or ziplock baggies. Stock will keep in your fridge for 4-5 days, you can also freeze or can your stock for long term storage.
    Keto cheesy/garlic bread:
    You will need:
    1 cup grated mozzarella
    1 cup grated parmesan
    1/4 cup almond flour
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    1 tsp each of garlic powder & onion powder
    Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper & pour out mixture. Smash the mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 350 degrees for approx 20 min until golden on top. I like to make a simple butter garlic dip by simply melting butter in a bowl & adding a bit of salt & garlic powder to taste. Enjoy!

    I think your parenting style is second to none! Not only allowing your precious children to understand the reality of where their meats come from (I am positive this doesn’t sit well with the ‘pansies’subscribers you have) but also from whom it comes, our Lord and Savior! Kudos my dear and take a bow!!!

    JOE is my hero, he jumps in with all 4 yes 4 f jt his and yours and just amazing results! He draws out plans and allows for diversions,this makes him my hero. My dad was a contractor in Alaska for 40 yrs he came to rebuild after 64 quake, he like Joe saw it in his head , drew it out asked for my mom's desires and incorporated it into something grand ! It isn't about the projects it's the love of his family ,property and God, not in this order! He just enjoying his homestead life with his loved ones and it shows. And Tina you run the circus without you nothing would be, you are the strong woman behind a good man, who adores you and his boys. You have poured your life blood into them and it shows, you make life worth living and we viewers reap it's rewards ! Thank you go Watson family

    I am so glad you and Joe are teaching the boys about growing, hunting, & processing meat and food to feed themselves and their families when they grow up. There will be times when there won't be food in the stores, there will be disasters when no food supplies can get through to supply grocery stores, but your boys, along with some of my grandchildren will be fine. They all know how to get their meats, grow their vegetables, what wild roots & berries they can eat, so they will never starve. Those nay sayers and people that condemn what you do are really and truly neglecting and depriving their children of basic survival skills. I am glad that you ignore them, they will be the ones hunting out people like you and my grandchildren to demand their food from them. I know I was thrilled when my son-in-law taught all of my his kids (my grandchildren) how to track, hunt, and process all sorts of wildlife, and he taught them to fish. He is an amazing and incredible cook also so he taught them how to cook it all, even pit BBQ. Keep following your dreams, you are making everything come true, one step at a time.

      I will never forget my experience as a child learning for the first time where my favorite fried chicken came from! We visited a family member who had a farm. We were all sitting outside and they asked us if we wanted to stay for dinner. Immediately after saying yes, she grabbed a chicken running by and with one quick movement she popped his neck! That was quite an eye.opening moment for me. I'm 70 now and yes I still love fried chicken! Hope you don't get too much bad feedback from this but it's the hard job for all of us who love meat.

    I grew up on a farm where we butchered cattle, pigs, chickens, and sheep. We raised our own vegetables and preserved them for winter. We saved seeds for planting the following year. My mother baked bread. We also had dairy cattle and sold milk to the Pet Milk Company. In return, we received canned milk and other products produced by the same company. We bought very few items from a grocery store. This was how we lived from 1946 until the late sixties. We worked hard right along with my parents in the 1;000 acre cotton and corn fields. Winter time - we did rest but helped with chopping wood for our big wood stove. It was a good life. We knew our cousins well and neighbors. They were our best friends. If anyone needed help or there was an emergency, we helped each other.

    Animals that are farm & home raised before butchering, have led much better lives, than the animals we eat that have been butchered & sold in the store. Some of those animals live in very close quarters, haven't felt grass under their feet, & never knew the love of a child. I think it's great that you teach your kids where their food comes from, & to honor the animal. That's some pretty broth you made.

    I sure miss this part of the farm. My parents passed away 6 and 7 months ago. We had already sold the farm but man the memories I have as a kid. But I’d rather butcher chickens than hogs. Lol hog day was the worst watching those heads being boiled yo get the meat off to make homemade mince meat and head cheese. Thank you for teaching your kids the importance to appreciate what the good Lord provided!

    The drone footage of your property is breathtaking..I was watching all your content ( bar the killing of the 🐔) however I agree with you doing ..as I love meat also..I just couldn't kill my own...once I brought one of my hens to the vet because it swallowed a fishing hook..the vet said in all her 20+ years as a vet no-one ever brought a hen to be saved..After a good while working to fish the hook back out.. the vet didn't charge me because she thought it was a funny story to tell family..
    I'm a big softy I can only happily eat meat if its not my pet!

    When I was in my late twenties and early thirties we raised our own chickens, turkeys, ducks ,and a pig.
    And of course we had hen's and a rooster for fresh eggs. The first time we processed a turkey I fainted lol. The second bird was easier I wasn't long getting past it. I enjoyed having my own meat and knowing where it came from. Half of the food today we buy in the grocery store truly isn't fit for consumption. Today I am 67 those days are over with for me but if I had it to do all over again I sure would. I think it's wonderful what you are teaching your children we all need to know more about where our food is coming from. This was a wonderful video and you showed great respect to the animals who gave their life to feed you.❤👍🇨🇦

    Great Program, been watching several years now. When farmed we processed 80 meat chickens a year and it was a great food source. My kids growing up processed cattle, pigs, deer, antelope, elk, moose, and bear. They had many pets over the years, but they knew where the animals were going in the freezer. It is great to show where our meat really comes from.

    I grew up a city girl but when I married a country boy I learned all about butchering. His dad always raised pigs and cows just for butchering. The first year I helped out it was a learning experience and I found nothing wrong in doing it. Its all part of living the country life and I'm thankful that I had those experiences. I wish I was able to do some of those things again.

    We raised dual purpose chickens when we lived in SoCal. When we harvested some, I was amazed at my co-workers that had no idea that "muscle was meat". A few went pale when they made the connection 🙄.
    Clear day today so I need to fire up the log splitter; split & stack some birch & spruce. Hubby (you met him back on the 13th, he was going in for a meal and you all were coming out) is out dip net fishing today, fingers crossed he gets some salmon this year. Last year was a bust.
    Can't wait to see your storage area.

    God bless you all, folks today have no clue and have lost touch in regards to where food comes from and how it gets to the table. I grew up around this. We did this every year, chickens, as well as hogs, and cows. We also hunted so deer, ducks, geese, pheasants and rabbits were also processed. You are doing the right thing including the kids and teaching them this aspect of real life. I like the way you folks live, it seems very peaceful up there. As a joke we used to call people who do not eat meat bad hunters. Saying hello from sunny Florida.

    SO many people dont' have a clue the kind of life an animal at the grocery store has. Majority of them never touch grass and are not treated as well as they are on a home stead. "they have ONE day" otherwise they have a wonderful well cared for great life. We have already put 30 in the freezer still growing the next 30. I saved my chicken feet but haven't ever made stock using them. You nailed it I'm one of those "that's nasty" people but I'm also not stupid. Will be trying this recipe THANK YOU!

    This so reminds me of my own experiences as a kid! My father's parents was from the Caribbean and after he was transferred there with Texaco I was sbout 6-7yrs old and we lived on a huge farm! My grandparents grew all manner of crops and reared animals same as my father's! My mother was all excited to move to the island being Venezuelan, she knew all about farm life as her parents was farmers and fisher folks back in Venezuela! On a certain Saturday and Sunday of a designated month was our meat processing weekend and lots of chickens, goats, hogs, cattle and turkey was processed on both farms..Both my parents and grandparents sold some of the butchered meat to local residents! My grandmother and mother made lots of meat stocks, sausage, burgers, and minced meats for our storage! It was always an exciting family weekend as our parents and grandparents had lots of help since I had eight (8) siblings! Both farms had these huge outdoor covered sheds for this activity..Very well equipped with the huge burners, freezers, pluck machines and huge cast concrete sinks laid with ceramic tiles! All the unused animal parts and feathers was thrown in the incinerators or buried in prepared holes in the gardens!

    Hey guys! Thanks for the neat video! I remember the first time as a young girl watching my parents process chickens. I really don’t remember how I felt about it, I guess because I was so young. I do remember tho, one Christmas, mom was going to make chicken and dumplings for a family gathering. She used a couple big ole fat hens. I saw her hang them upside down from the clothes line and let them bleed out. She brought them in the house to finish processing them. She was scalding the feathers out of them and that smell got to me. I couldn’t bring myself to eat any of the dumplings for thinking about that smell. 😂
    After years of being around different kinds of meat processing and the smells, I have adapted! On another note, I’m excited for you guys and your new home addition! ❤

    Glad you’ve done this video , people need to know where there meat comes from ,and how it’s processed ,it’s not cruel in anyway shape or form like people think , it’s part of life , it’s part of the food chain and it’s reality, fantastic video Tina .

    I think it's important to teach children how to process their food. We watched the first whole process from the time we were toddlers. It's a fact of life.
    Your addition is going to be great!❤❤❤❤❤

    Thanx Tina for sharing your beautiful life and family life with us, great work to guys for teaching the boys to know where their meat or food is coming from and they will even know the difference between real meat or vegetables and fake ones bec we know things that are sold at the shop are not real food. All the best with the extention. You have a beautiful land and is good that you can eat out of it some nice organic foods ❤

    Hello my dears, once again a video that I enjoyed. Thank you for sharing how you harvest chickens. It's a great way with the kill bucket. And your absolutely correct on having a smaller home means everone comes together. Its truly sad with all the big homes and big families everyone is always spread out. Can wait for the new add on. Bless you all.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Your video today was great to teach the kids about how to butcher a chicken. For those who are faint of heat this isn't PG 13! The boys enjoyed the wood chipper all three of them. Watching your two boys riding their bikes was so sweet they only stay this age for such a short time. 🩷🩷🩷

    Your really took me back to my many young years with mom preparing the chickens for lunch... she didn’t do as you do in a box for cutting it ...she did it by hand Hungarian way in the farms...me, always sick watching it, but surely understanding how, she was a fantastic good cook. The most marking way was how mom did it, always so concentrated and quickly done... and as you say, yes we must understand how....the scriptures were my construction reading also, learning about so much...another that really marking was me as a young girl becoming a mother ... the Old Testament does have a very clear way about the care for and after a birth... we are not here just because ... very touching growing up with that understanding and seeing how your son is so smart and attentive with it all😊

    A+ friend! Meat isn’t made in the back of the grocery store in a styrofoam tray and covered in plastic wrap. I think when people are so far separated from their food it’s hard for them to understand that. You’re teaching those boys good lessons. Have a blessed week.❤

  • @lindasmith5496

    I remember my grand mother having chickens, and when we visited her she would process one of her birds and fry it for dinner. That was normal for granny to do. Hopefully, the new addition will be completed before the snow starts to fly, and the dream bedroom will be cleared of the catch all items. peace

    It would be interesting (and useful for many) to watch you shopping for food and groceries because you live a healthy lifestyle and always think what you eat. I would be very interested to see your selection of food and other items at Costco and other major supermarkets.

    Tina, that was a nice and respectable video (when it came to processing). 😊
    If the people who complain would see those huge processing farms, it would probably discussed them. We used to live down the road from a Tyson farm, in Virginia, and it turned my stomach to watch all those trucks cram them into tiny crates that they couldn't even stand up in, open to the rain, snow, sleet-it didn't matter.
