    I've been binge watching your channel recently since finding y'all.. I just love how you are teaching your kiddos all this knowledge on how to live, feed yourself and fix things. God bless y'all. I like when you eluded to one farm equipment being jealous of the new one and holding out on ya, lol.

    New subscriber here, and I love your channel!! Your videos are real life, the good, the bad, the ugly, the highs, the lows, and most importantly what FAMILY really means. I love that you show how to plant and grow a garden, how to keep livestock, and how to preserve all of it while teaching your children too. I grew up in the mountains of East TN, Roan Mountain area, not far from Banner Elk, NC and your videos remind me so much of home. Please don't ever change your channel!! God bless you and your awesome family!!

    I love cooking fire especially if it's alder tree would taste so nice When we went camping all the time with mom and dad that's all we used to cook over or tree bark makes nice warm coals to cook over but never fur trees or cedar trees use fur and cedar and hemlock for heat because alder does not have any heat a lot of ash

    The only problem with those baskets that you use that you cut out everybody that I've watched has problems with the chickens pooping in the nesting boxes they've started pulling theirs out at night altogether and they put a door on

  • @PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961
    @PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961 8 месяцев назад +1

    I let one read it sit on the eggs last year my nest boxes are up pretty high but the chick got out of the nest box and the other chickens killed it😪😪😪And I raised one by myself and it was really tame we used to eat out of my mouth and everything tried to introduce it to the other chickens and every time I did it they would beat it up finally they got a little bit bigger so I left it in there with them and they ended up killing that one chicken are very mean

    @dustup2249 8 месяцев назад +1

    Looks like a great farmstead you are developing there.
    I'm concerned at the size of the milk crate handle holes on the chicken cart. A Long Tailed Weasel can easily get in, have a meal and shimmy back out even with a full belly. Maybe a wood framed construction cloth door panel with hinges across the top so it opens by unlatching and opening from the bottom?
    Weasels will take up residence nearby if the prey is plentiful and farms always have mice, chickens, feral cats and other typical farm setting snack that foxes, weasels, hawks, skunks and coyotes love to eat.

    Good, the best first, POPCORN. YEAH!😅 loved the video. Quiet beautiful private area. Plenty of fresh oxygen. Good food. My oh my. The Chicken Truck looks so nice. Being moved by one, and not too heavy will simplify things no end. You know, back in the day they never took chicks away from their Mother, did they? That mom wanted her chicks and is loving them feeding them and protecting them best she can. Warms my heart to see that. I know you're keeping a good eye on them, and I bet Maggie will also be watching out for them too.❤😊

  • @toneyjohnson8910
    @toneyjohnson8910 8 месяцев назад +2

    That was a good job starting the fire Jacob. One reason it takes a few strikes on the fire starter is clothes have flame retardant on the fabric. back in the day you could lite it in one strike.

    Great job, Jacob! Learned a neat trick and keep these in my old truck glovebox to start brush fires: cut straws in 2- 3" sections. Roll little bits of cotton in vasaline and poke to the middle of the straw. When starting fire, just cut a slit in the straw above cotton, pick a little bit of it out, and light. That fire starter would be the berries to use with them! Thanks for the demonstration, Jacob!

    Meagan explaining about the distance she’ll be moving the chicken cart. Guess some folks thought you might be pulling it to town. Lol
    The tractor is purring like a kitten ! So much better.
    Jacob and the strawberry, reminded me of my granddaughter. She could eat her weight in cherry tomatoes. I walked by a bush once in my garden. It had probably 5-8 cherry tomatoes on it. I walked on like I didn’t even see them then turned quickly and they were gone ! When I ask if she had gotten them of course she shook the head no ! She said nothing other than the head shake. There was 2 reasons why she didn’t speak. She didn’t want the trouble for telling a lie and the main reason her mouth was packed so full of maters, she put a chipmunk to shame.
    Such good memories, thank y’all for sharing yalls with everyone

    I love the new chicken cart and like y'all said, you can put it anywhere you want. The 140 is running like a Singer sewing machine since you changed out the distributor cap Andy. I'm like you, It's a wonder it would run at all with all the corrosion on the old one. Brother you made some million dollar soil down on the creek by plowing in all those cover crops. Homegrown hamburgers down by a Stokes County creek, now that's living. Y'all have a great evening!
