Joel has all the advice I wish I heard when I was a child. It would have saved a lot of years of confusion and bad decisions. However, it's also important to let go and move on. That's awesome that your life improved so much from his wisdom. The best to you!
Keep it real and 💯 in these joker and Robotic revolutionary times. Even the migrants strawberry pickers, are being replaced already with color reading Ai robot arm pickers that work 247.... we are in truly new revolutionary times. The jetsons vehicles, are now out also (Archer on wallstreet or asian competitor, ehang... its already being sold here on wallstreet with videos and all.. 😳🛸)
My name is Dr.Fidel.S. I want to be a mix of Joel and Justin when I grow up.I just retired as a Physian for 30 years. I am certain I will be a mix of you 2 by the age of 65,God willing in New York State. I am joining the TSUNAMI. Thanks for the great podcast 👍.
Dear man, I know exactly how you feel. There should be an association for retired medical professionals to join. Where they can tell the world what they really think now that they have no fear of losing their license to practice. Maybe there is one and they are being shadow banned by social media. Let me know if you come across one.

I love you guys! The discussion you had was awesome! Back here, in Romania, we are blessed to still have the kind of comunity you hope to get back to. Rural life is the best and in theese hard times, it makes more sense than ever! Thanks for a very interesting podcast!
I've always felt most comfortable and content in a pastoral setting with a transhumance pattern of movement. That allows me to recognize that, over the past few hundred years, we've been very far removed from that lifestyle. It can be attributed to multiple systemic influences, each operating with different priorities but, nevertheless, has moved those across the US further away from the benefits. We were well conditioned. Thankfully, there are still some who are in touch with our roots. I am pleased to learn that such traditional lifestyles still exist in other countries though I believe there are emerging threats with which to contend, especially in terms of the practice of transhumance.
Hello from Bulgaria! Wonderful conversation! So happy I moved from Western Europe to small village life in Bulgaria, have my own very big garden, orchard and chickens, and friends who have the same, and we help each other. This year We are sharing a steer! Life is so much richer since I moved to the village, I live simply, not luxuriously, but have never felt richer and happier!
This aha moment, “what else have I been missing” type of experience is what happened to me after I birthed my first baby out of the system, undisturbed. I did my own prenatal care, my husband and I took full responsibility for our child’s birth and wellbeing. It changed the way I mother my family all together. I’m surprised more homesteaders aren’t talking about birth outside of the system!
Joel, I am a stranger to you, but you are an old friend of mine. I have been following your life for longer than 15 years. Thank you for all you’ve done to help me learn how to live.
Jole said something that just blew my mind. People treat their children horrendously and can't figure out why they behave so badly. I know when i am seeing the immaturity of adults in public it turns my stomach. Children are our future and it is up to us to show them how to grow into happy well adjusted humans.
1 hours and 6 mins in and the most insightful comments might have been about becoming an adult/forgiving parents. I love what Joel had to say on this. Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you for sharing this very substantial conversation. Having chosen to give up my Abundance Plus in addition to most other subscriptions because of some poor financial choices on my part, I appreciate you posting this to RUclips. Missing my church service because I was sick this morning, I felt very blessed by your talk. You both touched on so many things I have been contemplating as a father, husband, and citizen that I feel as if I was where I needed to be at the time I needed to be there. You truly were a part of God's answer to prayer, and I pray for your continued success as you share so much with the world.
This jewel is downloaded. Magnificent material for heart, home, farm, community and eternity as we work in kingdom community. Blessings to all who are here! BTW I'm a local follower and student of Homestead Heritage farms and community near Waco, TX - a benefactor of the Salatin way of farming and life.
Great Convo. I really hope that people around the world jump on board with this back to the farm narrative. I relate so much to allot of what was shared here, and I really feel that community building and farming are the #1 answer to help restore balance to this nation, the ecology, and hopefully the world at large. I am 36, grew up in suburbs in Houston Texas and have been on the path towards farm based living for many years now. As you mentioned, personal health crisis is what really made me start asking deeper questions about the status quo. And I am grateful for that experience. I definitely see all the trends you talked about here unfolding. But I do see that many are likely going to wait till shit hits the fan till they respond and start taking action to build farms and communities. So I hope enough of us hop on board now so we can be resilient enough to help others who are lagging behind on the shift. Really hope millions watch this video and many others from people like Nate Hagens and others thinking deeply about creating resilience.
I'm 66 and I heard this as a kid from both paternal and maternal side of the family. It's comforting that Joel and others like him are carrying the torch for a more humane and truly connected life.
In my childhood it was Grange that facilitated the 'community' you speak of. I believe having a skill will be the thing. I'm a seamstress, I can mend or teach.
Excellent discussion. I have enjoyed listening to Joel for years & I have great admiration for families who farm generationally like his family. We need more of that. I think it’s impossible to be profitable farming on your own these days.
Can't wait to see Joel at the Florida homeschool conference! This is gold. I am thinking about the consistency and thought that goes in differently when you are instructing interns. It's all part of the legacy mindset. ✨️
Great video Justin and Joel! Love you both and this gives me so much hope for our farming/homesteading communities. So much wisdom on how to truly have a team. Thank you for all you do for us. God Bless you!
Joel is the MAN! By the way, Justin, there’s an old saying that I try ( often unsuccessfully) to live by: Do YOURSELF a favor and forgive. The trick is to then move on.
I love ABSOLUTELY LOVE his commitment to the important things in life: the main one being God! It’s much appreciated from other Christians right now especially, since we are living in dark times where everyone is doing what they think is right in their own eyes. Thank you for the interview, Justin! I love your family, too!
God knows what he's talking about when he tells us to forgive. I had kind of a tough childhood and held a lot of bitterness. He just showed me one day that my parents did the best they knew how to do. Stuff just rolled off and I am so grateful!
Yes I definitely get that! I used to have same nightmare into my mid 20’s,but didn’t know why. One day I decided to forgive my parent, I had held a grudge against. & that’s when the nightmares stopped they never came back!💗
Love how he talks about inviting people for dinner. I 💯 agree but as an introvert it is SO hard. I really appreciate how he talks about what he's learned with having staff & volunteers. To be so open, honest, & sharing the learning process of getting from frustrations over expectations not being met to the things they've invested in developing to make everything & everyone work better. 🎉
Tennessee Homesteader's Alliance is a county to county initiative of homesteader's building trustworthy local community reliance. We meet monthly, help each other with projects, trade/ barter and be the neighbors that mentor one another in God honoring ways.
Joel is namely the reason I started raising my own meats. I always had the opportunity at our family farm, but the older I got, the more aware I became of societal needs, and what did I actually NEED? Not much when I actually thought about it.
I tremendous opportunity coming to reinvent our communities and economy. It gives me hope seeing so many friends pulling their kids and home schooling. I've been meeting more people the left where they were to find community and freedom. Our church is full and new people are getting constantly being baptized, the children's wing of the new building is already overflowing. Hard times are forcing people to decide what is important and who they surround themselves with.
We did Self Directed Learning with our kids. They only need help to learn to read and do basic math. Then let them experience life. They will find their God given gift and pursue their passion. We also just provided them with all the tools and things they required to pursue their passions. It has been such an amazing experience. We were also free to travel with them which was such a great family experience ❤
LETS stands for local exchange trading system. I belonged to one in the 80’s here in Rockingham Western Australia. I exchanged tutoring maths and English and got help for prepping onions, rolls, and sauces for my hot dog stall run outside a nightclub. We used gum nuts ias our unit of exchange.
Been following both of you for years, thank you for your service. Justin, I've introduced Joel to others through your videos. But I find it hard to find a clip that summarizes who he is and his scope of work and contributions. Joel has so much depth and breadth and it's hard to summarize in a single clip. Maybe you could put something together?
The beginning is such an interesting take. I and most of my area tend to be conservative but it’s always been the small govt type of conservative. We are in the southern Appalachia’s so that may be a contributing factor. We’ve never been big on regulation and big brother being in our business and we’ve certain had trust issues for a while before covid. I like hearing what Joel has to say about it. It kind of opens my world a bit, politically speaking. At this point I’ve basically written all of them off but I would love to sit down and talk with Joel and Justin. They are both well read and have a lot of insight, I believe.
Hi Justin. It was a pleasure listening to your conversation with Joel. I recently had the honor of doing the same with him for our channel and it was a great experience. I’ll be visiting him again in March for another conversation/interview. During that time, I’m trying to line up several different interviews/conversations with different farmers-homesteaders and I’d love to stop by and have a conversation with you. Would you be agreeable to that?
Two of my heroes! If you’re anywhere near Indiana, check out the Patriot Homesteading Conference in April (Southern IN) and the Indiana Homesteading Convention in the Fall. I met Joel there in person last October!
I have lived a rural life since 1957, when we moved to Vermont from Knoxville, TN. My family has 7 generations of ancestors buried in Calais, VT, so though I was born a southerner, I consider myself a Vermonter in my soul. I am 'one of those hippies' who decided to live off the land, compost, raise chickens and pigs, and grow a big garden. I still do the garden, not the animals, since I am heading toward 74 now. I've been on my property gardening, sometimes doing animals, trading with others for services since I was in my early 30's. My father was a Vt artist and social realist painter. He bought the land I now own, and that will be passed to my son. Joel Salatin is an interesting man, but conservatives today and two generations ago are very different animals. The fact that conservatives have been going against the status quo recently has more to do with the ex-president's radical conservativism than any independent thinking, from what I have observed. He says, "drink bleach for Covid", and a liberal will say, "what an idiot maniac", while a (modern) conservative says, "how much?". I realize you guys can't talk politics, but you can allude to politics, and I think you finally did, which felt more real. The only food insurance is learning and knowing those skills that will help you sustain your systems, such as gardening, animal husbandry, carpentry, and forming community. Community is the MOST important part of these skills. Through community will come the teachers of the other skills. Recently, a local pillar of our community was diagnosed with cancer, and almost simultaneously, lost one of his children. A true tragedy. Our community raised $30,000 in a matter of a few weeks, and set up a Meal Train to bring food in to their family every night for supper, home-cooked food every day. The Go-Fund--Me still is running, and people are still donating. This family is part of our community, and will be cared for until they can care for themselves. These systems are happening right now in Montpelier, Vermont. I'm also proud to be in the first 300 members of our local food co-op, which has several thousand members 50 years later. That co-op offers organic food, often in bulk, a great deal of it local. We have many local farmers in Vermont, and I lease my front field to the local organic farmer down the road from me. That scratches both our backs, as he gets land to grow food on, and I get a little money and someone managing my land. Plus, I get to feel I am contributing to my community, even if I can't get out and ride the tractor! It's a beautiful system. 🌻
Your comments about conservatives are offensive and ignorant. I am not a big Donald Trump fan, but it makes me so sad that otherwise, intelligent people have allowed themselves to develop Trump derangement syndrome because they blindly believe perpetuated false hoods. The below is Copied straight from politifact. Trump spoke about the role he thought disinfectants could play in tackling an infection caused by the virus during a now infamous April 23 briefing. But he didn’t say people should drink bleach. His comments came after William Bryan, the undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, presented a study that found sun exposure and cleaning agents like bleach can kill the virus when it lingers on surfaces. Trump remarked on the effectiveness of those methods and wondered if they could help address infections in the human body. Here are his full comments: "A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
It's the lefties like our current administration that will take your land away. Ok. BTW, I believe Joel is a libertarian. No such thing as a radical conservative.... that's oxymoronic
I think what you may not be seeing in your life is that conservatives are trying to conserve something that is no longer the status quo. So to do that you realize you must break with the institutions attempting to break you out of it. I live in a major metro area, and the window of acceptable opinions has shifted far leftward just in my lifetime. A lot of the left ‘pro-free speech’ stuff has turned into mindless clapping at what is now a universally mandated opinion. Because if you depart from that opinion in any direction but further left, you’re bigoted in some way. And that may be the ‘drop’ they’re describing here for a lot of right-leaning people. On the Trump thing - while I don’t deny there’s a cult of personality there, a lot of it is tongue in cheek. And a lot of it comes from backlash to the outrageous propaganda against him. For example, go to the actual ‘drink bleach’ speech and listen to what’s he’s saying. He’s got a unique way of speaking, but the actual content is utterly non controversial and yet here we are. ETA: Your homestead and community sounds wonderful. 😊
Oh wonderful! I am so excited and feel so blessed to be able to see this. I do want to get Mr. Salatin's book very soon~ wonder if he sells signed copies. Thank you guys for doing all of this. It makes my dreams seem a bit closer or possibly even attainable with each video I see! Keep up the great work.
Families used to take horse and buggy from Charleston to Columbia to visit family/friends. Yes, they would have to stay a few days but that’s the point.
At what point do you guys say, " we're offline". Mainly because the target has gotten so large, and detrimental that the educational benefit is no longer worth it. You guys have set us up for not just success, but courage to explore the reality of our own, individual growing-animal husbandry-childrens schooling that I feel so empowered to move on what we have and inspire our neighbors to join the fun.
I grow almost all my veggies eat free-range beef grow my own chickens don't like fast food anymore always disappointed if we go out to eat rather eat at home tastes better and better for us
After I made bacon from the first pigs we raised last year my kids won't touch bacon from a store or restaurant. I made a ham a took it to the company Christmas party and now I think they expect me to do it again this year 🤣
Trickling biofilters are old as time! Many cities tried doing it on a larger scale but had issues with accumulation of solids clogging up the media. Maybe consider a strainer downstream of the pump to remove small particles. Much easier to clean a strainer once a week than an entire bio-tower once a quarter
So I have addressed these extreme drought conditions for grass #JoelSalatin. I can consult on my design Regenerative Feeding Station for sheep. There is a different system for chickens. #asiflifeonEarthMatters
I got Polyface Micro and I'm still looking for about 10 to 20 acres to call HOME! It's more like being shacked to a full time job to pay for home, food and cars, etc. I've done my time (over 50 years) and now retired and want a small farm. I have a garden, can my own food and now have 9 chickens in the backyard. I want more, like pigs and cows, just can't do it where we are at now.
Joel Salatin is a true national treasure. He has impacted my life in such a positive way. Thank you for putting this together Justin.
Couldn't have said it better. I'm 100% changed since listening to Joel and others like Justin. Their lifestyle is what drives me to get debt free.
Joel has all the advice I wish I heard when I was a child. It would have saved a lot of years of confusion and bad decisions. However, it's also important to let go and move on.
That's awesome that your life improved so much from his wisdom. The best to you!
I’m an old la leche league lady. A tiger mom! We stayed the same
😮😮
Keep it real and 💯 in these joker and Robotic revolutionary times. Even the migrants strawberry pickers, are being replaced already with color reading Ai robot arm pickers that work 247.... we are in truly new revolutionary times. The jetsons vehicles, are now out also (Archer on wallstreet or asian competitor, ehang... its already being sold here on wallstreet with videos and all.. 😳🛸)
My name is Dr.Fidel.S. I want to be a mix of Joel and Justin when I grow up.I just retired as a Physian for 30 years. I am certain I will be a mix of you 2 by the age of 65,God willing in New York State. I am joining the TSUNAMI. Thanks for the great podcast 👍.
I myself retired from health care after 30 years. What an adventure we are about to begin. My only regret is that I didn't start earlier
Dear man, I know exactly how you feel. There should be an association for retired medical professionals to join. Where they can tell the world what they really think now that they have no fear of losing their license to practice. Maybe there is one and they are being shadow banned by social media. Let me know if you come across one.
I love you guys! The discussion you had was awesome! Back here, in Romania, we are blessed to still have the kind of comunity you hope to get back to. Rural life is the best and in theese hard times, it makes more sense than ever! Thanks for a very interesting podcast!
Yes!! it is the same here in Bulgaria!!!
I've always felt most comfortable and content in a pastoral setting with a transhumance pattern of movement. That allows me to recognize that, over the past few hundred years, we've been very far removed from that lifestyle. It can be attributed to multiple systemic influences, each operating with different priorities but, nevertheless, has moved those across the US further away from the benefits. We were well conditioned. Thankfully, there are still some who are in touch with our roots. I am pleased to learn that such traditional lifestyles still exist in other countries though I believe there are emerging threats with which to contend, especially in terms of the practice of transhumance.
Greetings from Croatia. You guys are making an impact world over. Just bought a 10 acre homestead and looking forward to new chapter in life.
Translate and share to others in your areas. Cheers and respect 🙏
Hello from Bulgaria! Wonderful conversation! So happy I moved from Western Europe to small village life in Bulgaria, have my own very big garden, orchard and chickens, and friends who have the same, and we help each other. This year We are sharing a steer! Life is so much richer since I moved to the village, I live simply, not luxuriously, but have never felt richer and happier!
Beautiful 😍😇💝🌼🌷🌻
Heaven
I loved Bulgaria. The people are as beautiful as the countryside.
Here in France we say Bravo and blessings to you both!!!
You inspiré sooo many People and countries!!!

Joel, I am a stranger to you, but you are an old friend of mine. I have been following your life for longer than 15 years. Thank you for all you’ve done to help me learn how to live.
They say to never meet your heroes....but I have confidence that the day I finally get the chance to shake Joel's hand that I won't be disappointed.
Jole said something that just blew my mind. People treat their children horrendously and can't figure out why they behave so badly.

Dear Joel....
Thank you for visiting us at the Ohio PAWPAWFEST a few years ago!!!🤗
BLESS YOU AND ALL
Thank you for this. Mr. Salatin is an awesome teacher. Really appreciated what you have done with this share, Justin. Thanks again.
I absolutely loved this talk. Joel Salatin is one of a kind.
Two amazing guys discussing reality!!!
Thanks for sharing these conversations with us! Very profound information! Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

Holy cow! 30 hours of videos! Thank you Justin.
We are your Illinois friends building our section of the Ark and continuing to learn from you and others.
Let’s do this!!!!
Expanding my skills so I can be of use when all things go chaotic.
We are in Illinois too with a small farm as well. Let’s connect!
Can't wait to see Joel at the Florida homeschool conference! This is gold. I am thinking about the consistency and thought that goes in differently when you are instructing interns. It's all part of the legacy mindset. ✨️
Re: Covid. Fear motivates. If have no fear you are not controlled! Perfect love casts out all fear!
Great video Justin and Joel! Love you both and this gives me so much hope for our farming/homesteading communities. So much wisdom on how to truly have a team. Thank you for all you do for us. God Bless you!
Joel is the MAN! By the way, Justin, there’s an old saying that I try ( often unsuccessfully) to live by: Do YOURSELF a favor and forgive. The trick is to then move on.
Justin, I love the podcast and the topic your talking about and not being affraid to bring them up REAL LIFE concerns.
keep it up and I will watch👍

I think Moving Forward In Faith is the one item a lot of folks need to work on... I know it has been for myself... but I'm doing it.
100% enjoyed this conversation

Great conversation! Thank you for letting us in on it!!
I think this is the very best episode yet, Justin!!
Great talk, thank you for your time.
PMAs for the Big win! So glad Joel is working this very important arena
Such a great interview! Thank you, gentlemen!
Great show. Got my land can build and fix but learning to grow
We did Self Directed Learning with our kids. They only need help to learn to read and do basic math. Then let them experience life. They will find their God given gift and pursue their passion.

two of my favorite people...yeah!🧡💛💖
I love this conversation
How's it go Christian, Environmentalist, Libertarian Lunatic Farmer! Love this Man
This man is amazing!
Though I don’t agree with Justin’s views entirely. I have learned a lot from these men. Thank you guys.
Let freedom reign!
Excellent, great listen.

1:06:45 what a statement my mind is blown never thought of it in that way .
Thank you, great interview
Thank you so much for these! God bless you! 🤗❤️🙏
Our church is our tribe. OpenDoor Church, Burleson,Texas, Troy Brewer is our pastor.
I have lived a rural life since 1957, when we moved to Vermont from Knoxville, TN. My family has 7 generations of ancestors buried in Calais, VT, so though I was born a southerner, I consider myself a Vermonter in my soul. I am 'one of those hippies' who decided to live off the land, compost, raise chickens and pigs, and grow a big garden. I still do the garden, not the animals, since I am heading toward 74 now. I've been on my property gardening, sometimes doing animals, trading with others for services since I was in my early 30's. My father was a Vt artist and social realist painter. He bought the land I now own, and that will be passed to my son.
Joel Salatin is an interesting man, but conservatives today and two generations ago are very different animals. The fact that conservatives have been going against the status quo recently has more to do with the ex-president's radical conservativism than any independent thinking, from what I have observed. He says, "drink bleach for Covid", and a liberal will say, "what an idiot maniac", while a (modern) conservative says, "how much?". I realize you guys can't talk politics, but you can allude to politics, and I think you finally did, which felt more real.
The only food insurance is learning and knowing those skills that will help you sustain your systems, such as gardening, animal husbandry, carpentry, and forming community. Community is the MOST important part of these skills. Through community will come the teachers of the other skills.
Recently, a local pillar of our community was diagnosed with cancer, and almost simultaneously, lost one of his children. A true tragedy. Our community raised $30,000 in a matter of a few weeks, and set up a Meal Train to bring food in to their family every night for supper, home-cooked food every day. The Go-Fund--Me still is running, and people are still donating. This family is part of our community, and will be cared for until they can care for themselves. These systems are happening right now in Montpelier, Vermont.
I'm also proud to be in the first 300 members of our local food co-op, which has several thousand members 50 years later. That co-op offers organic food, often in bulk, a great deal of it local. We have many local farmers in Vermont, and I lease my front field to the local organic farmer down the road from me. That scratches both our backs, as he gets land to grow food on, and I get a little money and someone managing my land. Plus, I get to feel I am contributing to my community, even if I can't get out and ride the tractor! It's a beautiful system.

Your comments about conservatives are offensive and ignorant.
I am not a big Donald Trump fan, but it makes me so sad that otherwise, intelligent people have allowed themselves to develop Trump derangement syndrome because they blindly believe perpetuated false hoods.
The below is Copied straight from politifact.
Trump spoke about the role he thought disinfectants could play in tackling an infection caused by the virus during a now infamous April 23 briefing. But he didn’t say people should drink bleach.
His comments came after William Bryan, the undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, presented a study that found sun exposure and cleaning agents like bleach can kill the virus when it lingers on surfaces.
Trump remarked on the effectiveness of those methods and wondered if they could help address infections in the human body.
Here are his full comments:
"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
It's the lefties like our current administration that will take your land away. Ok. BTW, I believe Joel is a libertarian. No such thing as a radical conservative.... that's oxymoronic
Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think what you may not be seeing in your life is that conservatives are trying to conserve something that is no longer the status quo. So to do that you realize you must break with the institutions attempting to break you out of it. I live in a major metro area, and the window of acceptable opinions has shifted far leftward just in my lifetime. A lot of the left ‘pro-free speech’ stuff has turned into mindless clapping at what is now a universally mandated opinion. Because if you depart from that opinion in any direction but further left, you’re bigoted in some way.
And that may be the ‘drop’ they’re describing here for a lot of right-leaning people.
On the Trump thing - while I don’t deny there’s a cult of personality there, a lot of it is tongue in cheek. And a lot of it comes from backlash to the outrageous propaganda against him. For example, go to the actual ‘drink bleach’ speech and listen to what’s he’s saying. He’s got a unique way of speaking, but the actual content is utterly non controversial and yet here we are.
ETA: Your homestead and community sounds wonderful. 😊
Oh wonderful! I am so excited and feel so blessed to be able to see this. I do want to get Mr.
Salatin's book very soon~ wonder if he sells signed copies. Thank you guys for doing all of this. It makes my dreams seem a bit closer or possibly even attainable with each video I see! Keep up the great work.
💯 and getting chickens was my gateway drug! That’s when all my Questions started
Wow, Justin! Joel Salatin thinks YOU'RE PERFECT! MAJOR KUDOS 😄😉
I hope to get more of your books. I have Polyface Micro, and The Rooted Life. I also have MiniFarming because we live on almost an acre.
How hopeful to hear about how much steam and momentum the homestead movement is picking up.
ThankQ
Families used to take horse and buggy from Charleston to Columbia to visit family/friends. Yes, they would have to stay a few days but that’s the point.
At what point do you guys say, " we're offline". Mainly because the target has gotten so large, and detrimental that the educational benefit is no longer worth it. You guys have set us up for not just success, but courage to explore the reality of our own, individual growing-animal husbandry-childrens schooling that I feel so empowered to move on what we have and inspire our neighbors to join the fun.
I grow almost all my veggies eat free-range beef grow my own chickens don't like fast food anymore always disappointed if we go out to eat rather eat at home tastes better and better for us
After I made bacon from the first pigs we raised last year my kids won't touch bacon from a store or restaurant.
I made a ham a took it to the company Christmas party and now I think they expect me to do it again this year 🤣
Starpath Academy....guy who grew up in hyperinflation and economic collapse in Romania in the 90s
Informative and good guy
I believe the idea of inviting neighbors over is a great idea. But,… I believe a lot of people don’t see what is really happening.
Enjoyed the long format interview
Got any in Texas? Course with it so big, we'd have to do Southeast, Northeast, North Central, Southwest, and Panhandle.
When my grandma was alive she would always say i trade with( any store) 😊❤
Trickling biofilters are old as time! Many cities tried doing it on a larger scale but had issues with accumulation of solids clogging up the media. Maybe consider a strainer downstream of the pump to remove small particles. Much easier to clean a strainer once a week than an entire bio-tower once a quarter
Excellent video!! ❤
So I have addressed these extreme drought conditions for grass #JoelSalatin. I can consult on my design Regenerative Feeding Station for sheep. There is a different system for chickens.
#asiflifeonEarthMatters
Good stuff
See ya back at the Food Independence Summit this summer here in Ohio? Cheers...good talk
Thanks for mentioning this! We’ve never been to any homesteading conferences anywhere. But being in Ohio we may be able to get to this!
@@jenbear8652 yep you should go. It is very local to me which is nice, Superb Industries sponsors it and they do an amazing job. Last year was great.
Your insurance is not your 401k, it's the frenz you met along the way❤
I got Polyface Micro and I'm still looking for about 10 to 20 acres to call HOME! It's more like being shacked to a full time job to pay for home, food and cars, etc. I've done my time (over 50 years) and now retired and want a small farm. I have a garden, can my own food and now have 9 chickens in the backyard. I want more, like pigs and cows, just can't do it where we are at now.
