I lost my hubby yesterday after a very long hard fight with cancer, I have to readjust my mindset and develop a new plan. Doing this alone now will look very different but because I have followed, learned, prepared, and have learned a lot of skills from you. Thank you keep it going
🙏
Prayers
Prays and love
Condolences. You can do the next steps. Stay strong. Sending prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May he Rest In Peace.
In my 65+ years I've learned some people will listen and learn and be grateful and some people have to crash and burn before they open their eyes.
Boy aren't you right on that!
So very true. I also grew up on a farm and ranch, observed all, and was a helper….as I grew up I became the doer. Now in my late 60’s I want to teach these skills,…..many are interested in conversation, but not moving in the direction of action. I believe many will as you said, “crash and burn” and the sorrow for us and them is that, that, does not need to happen. I guess “la la land” is their choice. Keep praying! I am.
🎯
🎯🙏
And some never learn.
You’re SO right. The world does not have to come completely crashing down. There are so many things to prepare for! My husband lost his job in January and I was SO glad I didn’t have to worry at all about food! He got work quickly, but with a pay cut. But again, I HAD FOOD. Now he’s back up to previous salary levels so time to replenish the pantry!
🙌🙏
🙏💙🙏
Glad it worked out for you both.
My husband, “ Haven’t you canned enough tomatoes?” I said, “ probably, but someone else may need some.”
❤❤carry on!
You are right. If people truly understood what is happening, they would be in the streets, and the shelves would be empty. Most have no clue, still!
That day is coming so fast.
Yea verily 😎
My entire upbringing, we had a two year supply of food storage. Daddy grew a large garden for our family of nine, and we weeded, harvested and canned all summer long. My hubby was raised the same way, and we taught our children, by example, and everyone helped. Now we're teaching the grandkids. This isn't going to end on my watch.
You are so blessed!
Love this!
Wow! This is so inspirational! Thank you for sharing.
Patara, I'm old, over 80, but still find a way to research and watch all your educational videos! I have a small pantry, but running over with cans and jars and bottles! Hugs 2 U.
Bluebird, I'm 70 , and I know how you feel, including the "over flow" issue!❤
@@dianebeier8379c❤
Have you considered turning your linen or coat closet into a pantry? ❤
I gave two young children and their dad some preserves from my larder. They learned that quai lay eggs and the squash and tomatoes come from a garden. It was a teaching moment!
I believe it, I can remember when my 12 year old niece got unbelievably excited about digging potatoes, she had no idea that they grew underground.
Patara I thank the Lord that I found your channel 2 years ago. I've been canning, putting lots of cans on the shelves, etc. I have taken to heart what all you describe. I'm an old lady but I busted my behind canning from the garden. Everything is put up. Thank goodness we planted early because everything is burning up. No garden left.
Maybe we are not watching your "how to"s because we are old, and we have been making cornbread, buttermilk, etc, etc for decades. However, I am surely with you on these kids. Mine see no reason to prep; no reason to learn something new - they can do anything in their , and their other electrical appliances. And they watch the alphabet news and are told daily that all is well - except for tr**p.
I didn’t know anything about homesteading until 3 years ago when I saw your video 😊 so I’ve been prepping ever since 😅
Time for the best time for gardening…FALL! Get planting!
My son is head in the sa d....but he recently remarried and now there are chickens and goats on his homestead. He is think I ng of digging out his stock-tank while it is dry (this is TEXAS and we are in drought!). I GAVE HIS A NEW upright free?wr, because it was in our new house and still had tGs on it! (I LIKE MINE BETTER). HE has actually started putting food in it. He won't say he is stocking up...but his wife sure is! Previously his main hobby is pew- pews...so I know he is ok in that aspect!. Just glad he is slowly tK8ng off the blinders.
I think people are scared… they don’t want to grasp of what’s going on. 😢 It’s hard to understand that this great Country has come to this. But it has… we need to have our Faith and know this is going on!! So many unprepared.. help your friends and family to see this!!!
Thank you Patera 😊
A lot of psyops going on, can get you distracted, but girl, don't ever think you're not a teacher, and the wisdom you bring! I come to your channel, to relax, to collect my thoughts, and chuckle at the ones that get triggered! Just keep doing what you're doing, getting it out there! And I always thank God for being my Hope! God bless you and yours sister! 🙏🧂
Amen
Same
That’s exactly why I come here too!
We are the new next best generation!! Passing on to the younger!
I'll add my "me too!" to this chorus! Putting up the harvest as fast as I can (garden is outpacing me this year) and writing stuff down for the future generations.
You and M.D. are right. I am a homesteader too and everyone is listening to me speak of freedom and truth but are rather reluctant to work towards the solution. My family included. At 60 I am the one who tends the farm, cooks, cleans, while I work a full time job in the heat of S. Texas. I am ok as I am tough as nails but I worry for them because I am the one that fixes, mows, pays, taxis,... so who knows how and is willing to do it if I am gone? I can teach all day but it is pointless if no one is caring enough to learn. They think they are entitled it seems to me. They will figure it out or starve.
Sounds like your extremely taken advantage of!
Watching videos on the couch is easier than picking up a shovel and dragging around a garden hose. I get you, Patera.
It has taken us four years to finally turn "dirt" into "soil" in our garden. This has been the best year so far in terms of growing. This is also the first year we saw bees in our garden, thank goodness!
Bees are a Blessing! Sadly, this is the 2nd year I have not seen one butterfly. Not even a cabbage moth. But I did discover a stand of milkweed and transplanted some, so maybe they will find it. 🌻
Well done,consider planting comfrey...it's great herbal, and likes to expand...anyway it's great to use as a composter. It bring nutrients from several feet down
Me too. I plant some sunflowers in my garden. I have a certain variety that the bees love and all my little birds love eating. My garden is finally producing this year. My soil is horrible but I think I have figured it out
@ flower child sunflowers are great at detoxing soil, plus you can get about 1/2 cup of flour out of stalks, and eat seeds and even cold press them for sustainable oil for cooking ... They planted miles of sunflowers to detox after Chernobyl
Because of your teaching i have just bought another freezer and at 69 i have lived thru some rough times.. we are always prepared being in the south for storms and hurricanes but now we are earnestly stocking up and cutting back .. keep speaking the truth.. we are listening 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I just wanted to tell you my story. A cold winter day I was bored I came across one of your videos. I listened and you changed my world. You see my eyes were closed. I never even thought about prepping. I have always canned from a large garden. You lead me to prepare by showing how to start. I don't have a farm, only 15 chickens so some of your videos don't apply to me. I still watch because I enjoy them so. The biggest help you provided to me was to find God and for that I will always be greatful❤
Patera, I’m nearly 81 years young, and started watching you during C--. I loved how you tell it just like it is! I just went through my channels that I watch and deleted 3/4 of them because the mindless content! Interior decorators, make-up geniuses, chateau owners! I have been canning again, all last year, after I gave it up about 10 years ago. Keep going girl!💕🇺🇸🙏🏻
Don’t give up the furniture rehab ones. Great carpentry tips in those
Amen Patara! I keep talking to my family and half of my kids are awake and the other 2 are still poo pooing me...I keep trying and praying hard. One huge praise to God is my oldest granddaughter gave her life to Christ and was baptized this past Sunday! Now I pray fiercely for her twin brother. They will be 20 in 20 days. 7 out of 8 are now covered by the blood of Jesus and I couldn't be more blessed. 🙏💖🙏
Send rain to Texas... Its a red letter day for my home.. WE PAID OFF OUR DEBT ALL OFF.... YOOT YOOT.. getting prepared for what ever comes...
That's a blessing!
Now that is an accomplishment, congrats
Patara, you're a blessing to so many people. Never stop what you're doing! I don't have a garden. I don't have a freezer. I don't have an alternative heat or water source. I have God, Patara, and Pinball to get me through it all and I'm so grateful for all three! I put a note in the back of my over stuffed pantry for my kids, grands, and greats that reads "If you're reading this I must be gone, you can thank Patara for the food!" ❤ They all roll their eyes at me if I mention prepping or politics. Hope your son is doing well! God Bless us all!
They forget.... Mother always knows best
😢😢😢😢😢
People are still living in fantasy land. They do not want to deal with reality.
You are a strong woman and doing your best to help your own family while helping 457k subscribers! I'm very grateful for your channel. I can always count on you for a no-nonsense video. It feels like the world is closing in on me right now. I'm alone, 64, lost my medical career in early '22 with the mandates. I started prepping when a little voice said "get ready" in 2020. I've learned to listen to that voice. Keep doing what you are because you help so many. I pray God watches over you and your family and keeps your boys home and safe. ❤
Bless you and AMEN❤❤❤
@barbaramandy8708 I do pray you, and others like you, can find at least one other local person to connect with. As a person with medical training you have important skills and you're watching Patera, so I'm guessing you're an awesome woman!
@@carlabythelake8162 We in the medical field, become the doctors during the collapse! Keep up on your knowledge and reading becasue that's your skill set you bring to the table!
I think you’re right people are starting to wake up a little bit, but not walking the walk yet. I live in a small town, a year ago I put a post on Facebook to see if anyone in the area would be interested in a beginning canning course, not one person was interested. I’m 64, my husband is 65 and has terminal cancer, we just bought 14 acres of land, and we are going to build a homestead. So it’s never to late. Please pray for us, because it’s scary, but also very exciting.
Sending prayers for your husband and completion of your homestead. Hang tuff dear. God has you!
@@GardeningLady Thank you so much.
Hey, I put on CL canning jars for sale in cases, with lids and rings--not one email or phone call!!! 6 months now and not one call.
Prayers lifted.
@@karenashby3132 Thank you
Hi. I'm right here. Over the past couple of years my wife and I have been listening to your videos and others posting videos. We first started getting emergency food then started gardens, paying off bills, raising chickens, and putting food away. Now we have gotten a freeze dryer and some other stuff preserving food. Wow....typing all of this we have come along way! Thanks
You are speaking the truth. That might offend some but it encourages the rest of us. Keep speaking.
Want to say a big "THANK YOU!" About a year and a half ago, I saw your 5 cans a week challenge and decided to participate. Over the past 6 months our hours at work have been cut. The meals I plan for us each week now are based on the "extra" I purchased / canned then.
I watch you when I can. It has nothing to do with what your message is. I'm busy, I'm listening, I'm doing, I'm passing on info, I'm praying, I'm paying off, I'm gardening. I already have a lot of skills. Your message is being heard. Your channel is growing. Keep doing your videos. We are participating 😉~
I'll second that!🙏❤️👍
SMASH that THUMBS UP!!! Patara is a true PATRIOT!!!! LOVE HER!!
Yaaaaaas!!!!!
Done did it! She sure is and I love her too!
She already has 3.2k ………everyone that have sense love her……..thanks Patara!
Amen!! I Love you Patara! I’m so glad I found someone who thinks like me!!! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🌻✝️🙏🏻
I hit the like button before I even watch her videos. I really enjoy watching her so much.
Started prepping thanks to you !! ( in 2020 ) Haven't stopped since !! 😊😊😊 All praise and glory to God !! I am 60 and a disabled widow in a studio apartment...if I can do it ( with Gods help ) anyone can do it !! 💜💜💜💜
🙏🌹
You are correct. My neighbors don't believe they need to do anything except complain about costs. My little patio garden keeps me sane. Thanks for what you do❤ ❤❤❤
My mom got serious with teaching me how to cook from scratch when I was 10 years old. Within a year i could put a simple meal for 6 on the table. We didn't have grocery stores like now so scratch was the only way to go.
At 80 things go together rather slow, but who says you have to be fast. Also no garden space, so preps have to come frrom Ingles, Publix or DG. but canned green beans fill the tummy. Of course with cornbread, slaw and a little onion.
Your mother did a wonderful job raising you!
I may be in the minority but, I want to thank you for all you have shown us and continue to do so. Your sensible take on "what's going on" has been more than inspiring. If it wasn't for you and a few other prep channels, I would still be in the majority. I have only been prepping for about 2 years and continue to learn valuable information daily. You are the best!♥️
Well then I’m part of that minority too but better late than never eh? Never even heard of canning until I watched Patara, great teacher, motivator and makes me laugh some days when I need it!!
I’m selling plants on the side while unemployed and most of my sales are pretty flowering plants. It’s alarming to me that more people are not interested in vegetables or kale etc. Two people are interested in showy Milkweed. I get it, they wanna attract the monarch butterfly. But butterflies are very low on my priority list right now.
Sometimes, it's frustrating because you have to appease neighbors who find vegetables to be ugly or trashy. I have my herbs along the front fence because they are pretty. Last year when I had tomato plants and grape vines I got reported on to the police because one vine went over the fence.
@@RayF6126now that's just petty nonsense.
I bought a bread maker because of you and everything fixing I need to make it. All ingredients. When I say everything I mean everything in bulk. I was thinking what supply would I need that I wouldn’t have that I love is bread. Because of watching you. I have backups on backups on everything. I now am working out at a gym because of you. I’m out of debt.
one is none and two is one -
Quote from Full Spectrum Survival
@@grammasjewels7736 And three is done
I'm 72, hubby 75. We live in 6 wooded acres. While I enjoy some of the opinion pieces, we are too busy. We are debt free and busy maintaining our property. We spent 4 hours this morning clearing brush by hand to make our property fire safe. Prepare for all emergencies. We live simply, keep a garden, an orchard, rarely eat out, but work every day to have a Plan b for anything that happens. everything.
It's funny how the older generation are the ones doing the work. Not seeing to much from the younger ones tho. Spending to much time on their cell phones I guess.
You will never upset me. Very humid in central Illinois and we are begging for rain! God Bless you and your family. You have taught me to pressure can. I finally canned green beans and squash/zucchini. My confidence is there. Ready to start canning meat!!! Thank you.
Same here in N East Texas! And the humidity is lower than normal right now . 0:52
I actually prefer canned chicken over having to bake chicken breast. Also, you can get roasts, cut them up and can them. Both make for really quick dinners if you're pressed for time.
A word of encouragement -- canned chicken is very easy to do. And so delicious! I thought I hated canned chicken until I canned it myself. I think you will be pleased!
So proud of you. Keep canning. I love to can meat
I can everything I can get my hands on. Especially meat.
We have noticed that hardly anyone in our area have gardens. People are planning and taking big vacations and new houses are going up around us. I know more people that are not getting prepared for difficult times then ones who are. It also makes me worry so for them spiritually for them as well as in other ways too. Keep on doing what you are doing. We need to pray for us all everywhere. Love ya Patara!
Thanks for hanging in there! My fear is that those who have not prepared will seek out those of us who have! We live in town on 1/4 acre on the Main Street, and we grow large amounts of our food and getting chickens next month. But first we put in large strong fence! 💜🙏
I would encourage you to get other means of security as well. 😊
Yes that’s the biggest worry, hungry people loose their minds.
I started watching your channel a few years ago after my neck fusion surgery/recovery. A year and a half later, which was 7 months ago I had to have my entire back fused. It's been hard and alot of pain. But your videos encouraged me to stock up my pantry learn to, make bread, can, vacuum seal food, dehydrate food, ferment food, learn from and encourage my husband to grow a vegetables and fruit. I researched and grow herbs now also. I've learned more about flowers and making "potions" and tinctures and have them on the shelves in their little amber colored bottles. I have filled up all the space I have in our small house. My family and some friends have thought I was over reacting and maybe a little crazy. Feels like hoarding sometimes. Lol ! My husband would get upset with me sometimes because of all the things I was buying and mostly because the house is full. But now, they are seeing it. Not exactly where my head is at but mostly. I've been able to help my kids and their children already when they both lost their jobs. So if you ever feel no one is listening or learning from you, just know that you have helped me and I'm sure a lot more people than you will ever know! I thank you for this! God Bless you! I've felt crap will hit the fan it was just a matter of time since 2020. I have faith that it will work out, but also know we are called to prepare. So when I hear that voice telling me when I pray for guidance, knowledge, wisdom and strength for the world and for our faith based leaders, I know the good and the righteous will come. Thank you Petera 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Patara thank you for sharing and inspiring us. At 75+ my prepping is very different. As a young bride canning and gardening came easy. Not anymore. If we do our best each day we will be better off than yesterday. Got some more can goods today. Bought some seeds too. As for what I’m seeing? Gas was $3.89.9/gal today. People in this community are filling the shopping and dining parking lots both day and night. Everyone seems to be going on vacations or buying fancy phones and new cars. It feels like riding on the Titanic. Scary
My lifestyle is different from yours but I have loved listening to your advise for many years. We all prepare differently, but it is still preparing. Thank you for this video.
People are NOT Preparing. In Central Florida, many people have their head up their rump! Very sad. Thanks for the lessons on veggie planted.👍🙏💕
Some of us in central fl are preparing.
I don’t see anyone in SW FL preparing either. 👀. They know groceries went up. But duh. I don’t even mention it anymore . If they are that blind, so be it. 🤷♀️
Not me , I live in Central Florida.
I live in Central Florida and everyone I know is prepping. But we're in a small rural county.
Even if we don’t have a garden we can still save seeds! I grew Tomatoes plants from the seeds of organic tomatoes I got from the store, saved seeds from flowers last year that I planted this year.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you tell me how you saved the seeds- on paper to dry or another method. I save Calendula seeds every year.
It’s great to print off and compile educational materials from teaching sites. Such as gardening, canning, seed saving, homesteading etc. and make a notebook with all the information. Very helpful!
Wise advice!!! ;)
Did this with hardcopy recipes. And herb info too!
PATARA COULD WRITE A BOOK!
@@melissaeager7993 Then organize it all somehow, too
I watch everything you put , I learned how to pressure can Burger and Sausage from you . Biscuits. You’re the reason I am prepping. So some of us are paying attention!!!
Something that I've noticed is that I can know something and agree but I get overwhelmed with what I have to do to take care of myself and my family. I know that that is absolutely a lame excuse, but, even as a prepper I am sometimes lulled into false sense of security. I have people tell me I can't just live always thinking about the worst case scenarios. I am doing what I can do so that I can be prepared for what is going to happen, but, sometimes I do have to stand back and take a bit of a break so I don't go crazy.
True. 👍🏻Thinking similar things. Most folks on FB just going along like nothing is happening. Thousands being spent on vacations. No concern about the state of public schools. Selfies,selfies.selfies🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I’ve learned a lot about preparing from you…don’t stop posting!
I LOVE your how to tutorials! Bring them on! I’m sick of hearing everyone complain.
Just got home from the grocery stores, not adding just groceries but other household items too. With it just being my husband and myself we don't actually eat a lot but we have had the granddaughters several days a week this summer. Having a garden has been nice to have the fruits and veggies we need.
On topic, I have almost no room left for food and other preps. My family thinks I'm overreacting, at best loony at worst. Thankfully, my hubby is completely on board. He's trying to work extra as we take care of two families. Thinking it's going to get harder than ever and although we've prepared and learned the best we can yet seems not enough as what's coming in some ways has never happened before and that's concerning, unchartered territory.
Oh I completely agree with you, people don’t even realize it.
My hubs said the same thing. I reminded him that, as Chrisitians, we must be prepared to share with others, particularly our church family elders or young families with children.
@@patriotnp336 Amen i agree ❤️
My youngest adult son, who attended a state supported university, has called me a conspiracy theorist over the last 3+ years.
@@dothehokeypokeyandgetbusy6359 unfortunately most colleges and universities do that to the kids. I've seen it in my family.
Keep up the good word Ms. P. Tell your truth. It really does help all of us out here who wants to learn on all different subjects. Sometimes it's corn bread, other times it's politics. I do not have a small farm but I help others that do. May God hold you tight!
I have been actively preparing, in all aspects, for over two years. Still I am not prepared as I need to be. Preparedness is a lifelong endeavor!!
Read the Bible daily!!❤❤
I'm not nearly ready
Next month I'm getting a pressure canner and learn to can. I need a few more things to get ready.😢
Linda evans 3815 , you got this! I’ve been canning only proteins for 2 years! I buy veggies from aldis and Costco.❤️
Happy Anniversary! When I started watching you, I was immediately hooked. I've gone back through the archives on specific questions. Your perspective offers affirmation as well as encouragement. I personally appreciate your connection to us on so many levels.
When I get riled, I have a process; how does it affect me & mine? What can I do to mitigate the concern? How do I start?
Time management is my weakness, but determination is my strength.
My pantry, garden, emergency prep, would show what a great teacher you are.
I couldn't have said it better.
Never change a thing 🙌I love how you teach, preach and learn down to earth skills. Thank you so much
as for saving a dollar - my oldest recently told me she is so glad I taught her via her watching me as she grew u how to get a bargain, buy smart. It is so needed now
I see it all the time with people I work with. Going on 3,4 big trips a year, buying stuff. I can only think they're putting it on credit cards 🤔. Don't want to acknowledge what's going on in the world. It "doesn't affect them". I've said it before, I have no problem telling people I told you so...
I see people constantly on “help” pages who can’t even cook the food they receive from the food banks, if it requires they boil water. They are literally asking others to bring them fast food, because they also don’t know how to drive. And, they will rip others apart for even asking if they need suggestions for how to prepare basic foods. You can lead a horse to water….
FLOUR ALERT! Today , Aug 3, my mom and I went to Walmart here in AL. Y’all, the flour shelf was empty! We keep around 50 lbs in rotation and needed to replace one. Yellow Trucking delivers for Walmart. Just saying. BTW Piggly Wiggly had flour.
I'm in on the coast in Alabama, plan on going to Walmart tomorrow, have flour on my list and hopefully we have some.
Thanks for the heads up...I need more too!
Harvested tomatoes with the kiddos today. There are many more coming on too! They're excited to eat their HM spaghetti sauce. I grew them from saved seeds. 💚🌞
Brad from Big Family Homestead was talking about this kind of thing today. Talking about how things are being funneled down choice wise and taking away those freedoms we love
I totally agree, it scares me as well! People have become complacent. Whether it’s denial or sheer laziness we are not the Americans of years ago. It’s going to take a lot to wake some up, I’m sure the next coming year may do just that! Unfortunately for some it may be too late! 🙏🙏🙏
Many of the younger generations think things will always be the same as they've known. But freedom is just a generation away, as a great man once said.
My father taught me one single thing that has served me well, "Nobody owes you anything." That includes a job, a roof over your head, food on your table, a safe comfortable place to lie your head while you sleep, unemployment, a social security check, medical treatment (even if you have insurance), policing service if you get robbed or attacked, an education, etc. In other words, you MUST be self-sufficient and assume there's no calvary coming to save the day. Ever. I have lived my life by this basic principle from a very young age (under 10) and it has served me well. I also don't get too upset or depressed (ever) if things don't go my way. I never blame any other person or situation when shit happens and it does to everyone from time to time. We call that life. I just assess things, fix the problem to the best of my ability, and figure out what "I" need to do to not encounter the same problem again. No use crying or getting depressed over spilled milk. Just fix it and move on. If you take personal responsibility for your own needs, life goes a whole lot smoother and is a lot happier. 🙂 And I would definitely be that 1 out of 10 watching the practical how-to video. You can NEVER have too many skills or learn too much knowledge, especially regarding skills useful in everyday life. But I have alwayw liked learning practical stuff, and creating stuff, and building things, and trouble-shooting stuff. I'm an executive living in Asia, but those Texas ranch roots never die.
Some people are not going to get it through their head until the reality hits for them.
People have their priorities mixed up. Even in this economy, the restaurants are busy.
I’m stocking up because my immediate family isn’t.
Just cleaned out the food storage. Oh what treasures I found.
I find it challenging to keep on top of all my storage.
Blessings to all!
Thank you for speaking the truth!
Thank goodness I'm the only one using shirt as an old time apron of years past. Lol😅
So true! I’ve been on the preparedness journey for a few years now. I had an injury (a mason jar shattered in my hand) a couple weeks ago. Long story short, severed a tendon, surgery required, I work with my hands for a living, I’m out of work 3-4 months. Self employed, no insurance yadda yadda ya. We are facing some hard tight times over the next few months. BUT I’m not worried about not having money to buy food for my family. All the stocking up, canning, preserving, gardening etc is being put to use. Grateful for the Lord’s provision then and now.
❤
Most people I know, are not preparing. At least that I can tell. BUT my neighbor across the street did a small garden this year. She's learning like me. I didn't buy a seed this year, used seeds I saved last year and seeds from my local library. So lucky to have a library where you can get free seeds. They even have tools you can check out.
You can only tell people so much and pray they just aren't telling you they're preparing.
Hey Patara, for what it’s worth, I pick and choose the educational videos that are relevant to me now - that I can implement now.
I used to watch a ton of videos and all of it gets wasted if I can’t actually DO something with the information. I value everything you teach. I especially appreciate your cooking videos on how to stretch left overs and make it into something new (ie: magic soup) and your gardening content since I don’t have my own garden yet but I want to learn as much as I can now. Since time is so precious these days, I only consume educational content on what I am currently implementing or am researching so that I can implement it next.
I watch your other content to give me a kick in the butt to keep working on what I’m working on, to see if you mention something in my blind spot of what I need to know.
I appreciate you.
Oh! The last time I bought a significant amount of rice and beans from Walmart pickup-about 2 weeks ago, I was asked if I owned a restaurant. When I honestly shared, it was clear the person was clueless about shortages and global famine.
And that caught in headlights look>>>>.Priceless!!!
@@jayjaysmith5195 Indeed!
You are so right. My wake up was in the recession of '79. I knew I would have to find a way to take care of myself. So over the years when I could I learned all I could. So you preach it girl. I'm right here agreeing with you.
My family were the sheeple back then and paid the price:/
Well girl
I live here in Ontario Canada and work at a grocery store
I can say I’ve been very vocal on the world happening
I’ve met a lot of people that have the same views
They are preparing
But theirs still a lot who have no clue 😢
Keep up the videos
👍💪❤️
I'm worried about my children too.
People may be interested in prepping but most don't want to be bothered with it and still assume that someone else is going to take care of it. Reality has not hit them yet.
Happy Anniversary Patara so grateful Almighty GOD sent me to your channel learning so much from you plus you make me happy with your homestead n wisdom God bless 🙏 🇺🇸 😊
Patara, you'd he proud of me. Its my day off, so was able to can 5 pint jars green beans, and 4 qts pickles. (My garden is small.)
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Send us some rain. Texans need it desperately.
The PNWet is dry as a bone, we need the rains.
I remember reading it's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. I pray we are on the right side but either way it helps to stay prepared with a stocked pantry.

It’s frustrating when you see others binge watching TV shows while I’m prepping and learning. They don’t wanna know but they don’t think it’s really gonna happen.
its why TV was invented. Sitcom = sit calm (while we take your rights away) ❤
@@cosmiccometchichi Wow, yes! Tell-a-vision
Miss patera I watch you everyday and I don't always comment but I would have to agree that some of your best videos don't get as much attention as they should. That being said I'm grateful for every video you make because when I started watching you I knew nothing at all and from you I've learned how to garden, can, taking care of farm animals, baked many things that I never got to learn from my mother and my grandmother. I want you to know that I am truly grateful for you and the content that you and other homesteaders produced because without you I wouldn't be able to teach my two sons and hopefully more children in the future all the things that I've learned from watching your videos and others on RUclips.
Great video! I prepare the best that I can. I stink at gardening, something always goes wrong and no crop to harvest. This spring I invested in outdoor cameras and someone came into my fenced in yard and poured something all over everything. My flowers, vegetables had this sticky stuff all over them and my rocks. Bugs and fleas swarmed in. I was stunned at the video and this has happened the last three years. I'm heartbroken. My neighbors who haven't experienced what I have, we have formed a pact with each other to barter our things between each other. They help me with trading canned goods that they have done from their gardens, for jars of buttons, clothespins, first aid items, or a case of water or puppy sitting for a couple of hours for them. I don't know and haven't figured out the person coming onto or into my yard, but I'm thankful for my neighbors. I truly love them like family, God bless them ❤😊
I for one takes your videos to heart. All it takes is a phone call to bring your world down.
Thanks you for all you do.
I'm amazed at all of a sudden there are many more videos on preparedness!! Like you've been telling us for years!! I've been collecting for years!! We may not always know why we feel the need to stock up on certain things, but sooner or later, it will manifest itself!!! This has happened to me so much of my life in the past 60 years!! People make fun of my gathering, shall we say. But..when they need..they don't hesitate to see if I have!! I grew up in the military, and during the Civil Defense Era, as it was ,, we always had to maintain a stockpile of emergency supplies. Maybe that was so deep-rooted in me that I've always stayed prepared. Maybe I've overprepared. When I find sales on things I always use, I set in a supply of what I use. Thank you for your help and guidance. God bless!!
I just got my 1st chickens almost 8 weeks ago and they are so much fun! And now that I have more of a garden growing than I ever did before I find that I actually am enjoying learning new things every day as I go along in the process.
I think you're right. I don't know for a fact, but my impression of most of the people I know is they are not too worried about any kind of prepping. A whole extension of prepping mostly overlooked is just plain making your house tougher. Extra reinforcement? Not even a thing.
You are my cheerleader! I'm thankful to have a friend who works this mess and alerts me to what I've missed. Glory to God!
We are prepared but we live just outside Houston and I don’t feel safe when things turn.
My favorite videos of yours are the ones you show how to cook something to fill the bellies of our families. I also enjoy when you show food and supply storage. Keep showing people Patara!!!
I’m right there with you. I love your “how too” videos.
I started in 2015 - hubby (now ex) left because he thought I had lost my mind - I do worry that he has a huge mortgage and across the pond here that means refinancing next year! -praying for him.💚🙏
Here in NW ARKANSAS currently 102. If I had planted a garden it would be dead. The heat is intense here... we desided to focus on debt refuction as our prep this summer
As long as you get one person to listen and prepare then you have made one more person's life better. Just imagine how many people you have taught over the years. So don't get discouraged. In the last few years I have gone from doing nothing to butchering 3 pigs, 100 meat birds, a stocked pantry, every book to teach you. You have taught plenty and yes not everyone is listening but a few are. That's all that matters
I found you because I needed a refresher on a recipe I stupidly failed to learn from my mother. I have offered many of the 'how toos' that you offer on you tube to my community for free, but no one will take me up on it. Now that things are harder I have announced to my friends and acquaintances that I will still help anyone who asks but now they will pay. Obviously money makes people value skills and information more.
We are praying for rain. Even a sprinkle would be a blessing. So afraid of fires.
Sane here in north central Texas. My garden is a goner but prepping for a fall garden
@@carolstacey4955 I'm in Central Texas too. Garden is a dust bowl,but trying to prep it for fall garden, but have no idea when to even start planting in these super hot and dry days. Any suggestions or advice is welcomed.
@@sherryayres3279the five days before the first hurricane has all ways been my planting date. Fall gardens are usually better than spring except for cantaloupe and okra.
@@sherryayres3279 I am prepping for fall too. I have my seeds started on my kitchen table. They will prob go out in mid September. Outside fall prepping is maybe 30 min at a time. Too darn hot!
@@carolstacey4955 I know. Just got seeds started and are on my living room floor under growlights for the day. Cleaned out barn and coops as it was super nice this morning and then compost piles, and a little in the garden. Not looking forward to 108 tomorrow though.😔🥵
Congrats on 9 years, Patara!
I do the same types of things that you do. I still enjoy the history, the old skills, the frugal ways, back to basics. Keep up the great work !!!!❤❤
I started prepping in 2008. A few years prior, I started deep research and saw the writing on the wall. We lost FOUR houses in Las Vegas, which included the one we lived in by 2011. When Vegas shut down at the beginning of covid, I got up early and hit 4 stores to top things off. Never had to panic buy a single thing. I am grateful!
Happy anniversary!!! So grateful for you.
And they way food cost has risen it does make it easier to rotate and not waste food preps. Mahalo Patara for your wisdom and courage!
Just want you to know, you and some other Podcaster and homesteaders woke me up. I'm still stuck in a city but I'm in idaho and the large backyard I have is now home to chickens and a huge backyard garden! I got the tools and the books to prepare and I'm constantly learning new skills! Because of you! Take heart and let's continue to pray, pray, pray!!!
Have faith in your works. Even if only 20% of the people are doing something, you made a difference. I work in a middle school and have to take the wins when I can. PS, I agree with you, get them out of public school. Put me out of a job PLEASE
I agree 100%
