FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future! For more information visit the Provisioning Page on our website ( www.freerangesailing.com/boat-provisioning ) or to grab a copy directly by clicking on the link below.

Sorry for your rabbit loss. We feel your
pain. Some have suggested keeping them off the grass. Both the rabbit tractor & only feed vegetation that the wild rabbits don’t have acsess to. As a wild rabbit may have snuck onto the grass at night.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your bunnies. I know you did your best. Please don’t blame yourself. Thanks for sharing.
Great video you guys bring me such joy and smiles especially with the baby, thanks.
You can also pickle eggs with vinegar in a jar 😊
You might like to look into water glassing your extra eggs. They will keep well for 6-12 months and can be used for everything except hard boiling. I’ve done this for several years and it’s great.
There's a school of thought that considers the first 9 months or so of a baby's life is actually external gestation. Most mammals birth as toddlers but our heads would a bit too large for that, imagine birthing a head the size of a toddlers. Wearing your baby is by far the best way to do that. Before our first baby was born we were concerned about SIDS and my wife, a scientist, did some research. She found that in societies where the child slept with the parents SIDS was virtually unknown. There's little if any chance of the parents rolling on them.
Troy, Sorry for the loss, we lost our heard of NZ whites in suburban Perth after Ag dept release and early summer easterlies! Your vector might be flies. All the best Mark
As far as cured eggs are concerned, and this is purely from having watched Brad Leone on "Brad Makes Cured Egg Yolks" on "It's Alive" RUclips channel, NOT from having done it myself (though I've always wanted to so probably will now I've said this) they seem to do best when they're cured out to a "firm" or "hard" state and then grated (often as a pasta topping), rather than trying to keep them soft and pliable, so I think you're 100% on the right road by the look and sound of it. Brad even tries doing it with an Ostrich egg (!) ... if you haven't seen his stuff before it's always entertaining (the "Noodling For Catfish" episode is a hoot) and there's usually a load of good info too, especially when it's about curing/living culture foods & drinks (like his Kombucha episode). Just a thought!
Here, we're still settling in with our 5.5 month old rescue puppy, who is both amazingly tiny and unspeakably cute but also a demon who seems to be into *everything* ... on balance though she's probably slightly less hard work than a baby :) And we're doubtless getting more sleep too? (hopefully!) Much love to you guys, & Constance, & all the animals.
PS: losing animals in your care is always heart-breaking ... but you did what you could (as you always do) so it's not down to you. Have a great time and we can't wait for the next slice of homestead living :)
Hi Troy, Pascale & Baby, love watching your videos they’re always interesting. All the best to you all from the UK.
We had a problem with oxalosis which is common in birds but in rabbits it affects the liver. We had Scotch broom which the rabits would self medicate with and it cleard their livers.
I enjoyed your preserved eggs.
Recently l tried a preserved egg that was 2 years old.. it was fryed in a little butter...if you did not know they were 2 years old you would not have known.
To preserve fresh laid eggs simple evenly coat with vasaline and keep in a dark cool space..that's it.
We will trial a few like that. Thank you
Cheers to you.
❤🤣I never had those baby raps They look very helpful 😊
I did hv trouble with keeping bunny's ❤
Wish it would be more often… but here a little thanks! Top 3 of our favorite channels on RUclips (all subjects included). Super people, interesting content, nice videos -without adds. Look forwards to many more of this new version of you guys ! Just an idea : maybe reminding viewers a bit more often that you guys don’t get pay from adds because you don’t add any in your videos… it’s obvious but sometimes, we’re so used to them that we don’t even realise when they’re there… and when they aren’t!

Oh! Rabbits! I do like domestic rabbits - the big ones, especially so. I use to breed them and had a "Rabbit Hilton". For both my daughters, their very first word was "rabbit".
Another great episode
For carrying bubs, we did ring slings (OK for little ones, but not for everyone), long fabric slings like you have (good if you get the hang on it, particularly for back carry) and manduca (great once they're good at holding their head still). From 6 months, manduca won out for me, super simple, still pretty compact for travel and the back carry really gives you your hands back for work.
Only issue with all of them is the combined body heat on hot days - especially if you're working.
Best of luck finding your solution!
Watch out Troy when she’s gets to 4 you’ll be walking and the little one will be driving the tractor
Congratulation Too you both! Paskie, your doing and looking great! Congrats!
Here's an egg trick you can use, Back in the old days when their was a lots of eggs on the cliffs the Inuit would use a sausage skin inside-out, Tie a knot on one end, And they would use the egg white and store the yolk in a bowl until they have enough to fill the sausage skin, Then it would be placed near a open window for the wind to dry it, Back in them days when they had no skidoos or even porter cabins, The Inuit kids at christmas time would get a small peace of yolk candy, After all their was no sweets stuff after berry season in october, So the kids got a treat..
loved this one guys! Cheers
Shame about the kittens. Very keen to hop on learning about the eggs. Nice. I shell watch with interest for a pavlova recipe.
I bought a Harvest Right freeze dryer and use it for all my egg preservation. Lasts 25 years. Expensive for an initial investment, but I think it pays off. Everything I put in the freeze dryer comes out tasting exactly the same as it did going in. The texture changes a bit on some items, but still great.
Great video
have a great day
Excellent video and a beautiful family!!
All the best,
Norm in Arizona
great show so thnx for that.
Have you tried water glassing your eggs. I’m just using the last of my 2021 batch. So simple and they cook up exactly like fresh.
Thanks for the sort-of baby update!
Seeing the two legs of ham in your freezer goy yo ask did you chop them from one side? or are they the front or back legs? Dhow the pig because either way seeing how it tries and move around would be hilarious especially if it was the front legs so it had to learn to stand up like a Disney character. :)
Gday, Good format today guys .. nice vid. cheers. Pots.
First time seeing salted egg yolkes. Thanks for sharing. What did you do with the egg whites?
3 compost piles. One with earthworm castings. Should make for a good manure/compost/soil mix.
We lost two rabbits to haemorrhagic disease (in the UK) and the only vector I could think of was that we found a feral ferret trying to get into the cages. I know rabbit predators are a bit lacking over there but maybe you've got something slinking around.
❤❤❤
Great vid as usual, I had thought that rabbits had built up an immunity to the virus but obviously not and it’s still very effective. Let’s hope you have success with your breeding program. Will you in the future be able to buy the property or maybe another, would hate to see all your hard work be lost.
I make preserved egg yolks about every other month. Generally I add about 10% sugar to my salt, and leave it in the fridge for 3 days. Also, back pepper and bay leaves add some wonderful flavor when added to the cure 😊 great video as always
The aromatics sound very nice. What is the length of curing time, after the refrigeration, that you go by?
@@FreeRangeLiving it depends on how quickly they reach the desired hardness, generally 5 days or so
nice vid i breed New Zealand whites
Really thought that the egg rope was a baby sling !!,
An edible baby sling could get dangerous!
👍❤️❤️
Ergo baby all the way baby! And u can chuck her on yer back when she gets 2yrs!
I had never heard of cured eggs before, but now I'm going to have to try it. Odd question, how much salt do you go through in a year with all the preserving you do? I've tried to look through the videos and get an estimate, but I don't think it's accurate.
😀👍👍👍❤
I’m wondering if it was a live virus vax ?
I am sorry for the loss. Bacterial and viral infections in a herd can be devastating. If there is a silver lining to this, it would be that it happened early in your establishment. I am probably preaching to the choir at this point, but... when you guys DO source any new Bucks or Does do so from a reputable source, immunize and quarantine before introducing. I loved raising (and eating... domestic is so much better than wild) rabbits. As the world turns I may do so again in my near future. The mention gave me a "fluffie" feeling over coffee this morning. Wish I was able to help in a more substantial way. Still waiting for that "Cook Book" 😁🙃.
Sad to see what the vax has done to your baby rabbits. Human excess deaths have gone up an average of 15% since the Covid vax was administered so at least you know your rabbit vax is working equally as well if not better than the human ones. The rabbit one was probably not as rushed and better tested than the human ones are these days.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this
@@roberttoodie275 I think by now everyone realises they were designed for
deep pop you lation. What do you think decades of the mega-wealthy meeting with politicians at Davous was all about ?
Methinks you guys are getting a bit too woke or yolk. Going to all that trouble to preserve some egg yolks seems like a waste of time. Really?
And baby is gonna change your life. Try to relax and enjoy it. Let things go. Life will never be the same. Trying to work with a massive cloth wrapped around you with the baby in it. Great for walks but planting the garden? My back aches thinking of it.
If the “vaccines” were mRNA based then you have your answer
Drs are baffled
Lol
