#homesteadshoptalkpodcast
Talking about the weather at the beginning on a blog is like the beginning of a book where they are setting up the scene. It is comforting, and brings the watcher into your world.
For Sure
Like*Good Morning
Beautiful People*
😊
It's a great podcast today. Following your channels throughout the week is part of our daily life. You three will get no criticism from me. I'm 75 this year and enjoy viewing you doing your thing and living your lives. Thanks for sharing, and I'll keep feeding the RUclips algorithms with likes and entire views of your content.
I love hearing about the weather. It gives us a glimpse into how you handle things in different conditions. Really enjoy your individual channels and this channel immensely! Such a joy to watch you all grow!
I think the weather is important because so much of your life does revolve around the weather. I’m always glad to hear about your weather.
We love your show! My husband watches you and I always join in. Does Ben know Becky from Acre Homestead did a video about her trip there taking his class. It was very complimentary 😁.
Becky’s video was really good. Got to see a closer look at the class.
I could listen to you guys for hours
I think it goes back to what is considered proper conversation. Weather is always a good start to a conversation.
Also includes meat you use to feed workshop folks, Ben. Pretty impressive! And that's a lot of cooking for someone :P
I'm glad you guys talk about the weather I think it's important for the environment that we know how the weather patterns are affecting different areas in our country. Keep doing it.
Love the conversations. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Y’all are fun. You make me laugh 😂 My only complaint with any of your videos is that they are too short. Also, I’m still waiting for the video with your wives telling us how they prepare food from the farm. Have a great week you three😊
Yes, people do care what the weather is like Jason!
Hey Gang 👋, always nice to see the Three Musketeers, God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family's keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO stay safe and healthy 🇨🇦👍
Ben have you entertained the possibility of placing a trail camera in the chicken coup to catch which chickens that are destroying the eggs?👍👍
How about keeping a feeder full in the coop? Some of these homesteaders are not feeding their birds enough. Ben was one of them that touted that he feeds them only from the compost pile. It was predictable what he is going through now.
Love you three amigos ❤❤❤
You guys have covered a lot of things I really enjoyed it so please don’t stop
Each of you - It would be fun to see a video where you interview your kids on what they like and dislike about homestead living. (Ben could do separate video with each son and we all know Buggie would have the most to say :)
That would be really interesting.... kids say the darndest things...😂
Brave dads.
It's snowing, sleeting, raining and my world is a wintery mess.. hahaha Good morning to the 3 amigos. I'm here for it.
I've been carnivore for 7 months and I feel GREAT! I can't recommend it enough to anyone who needs to heal their body and break that addiction to sugar!
I love it when when you'll talk about the weather! Because Texas has crazy weather.
Opening with the weather is of interest to everyone. We are all subject to mother nature. I am in VA so familiar with NC weather, but Al, I am always curious about how folks are ding in the North.
Describing the weather sets the scene. We can see and hear your environment, but we can’t feel it, smell it, or taste it. (Oh how I wish I could smell and taste Meg’s cooking! I did get her cookbook, but haven’t tried any of the recipes yet!) It’s fun to compare Al’s reaction to cold temperatures with Ben’s and Jason’s! I’m from Michigan, so North Carolina weather seems mild to me! So, yeah, don’t worry that we’ll be bored when you talk about the weather!
GREAT Morning. I so much appreciated your honesty.
Weather L.O.L. I love & pray for each of you in JESUS'S NAME AMEN.
FIRST this time. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
It’s icebreaker in normal conversation. You are talking to us, your friends. I notice we even do it with close family. It’s a conversation starter. The weather!
Chicken and dumpling time when the girls start eating the eggs. Our weather is now in the 30's and the chickens are now free-rangeing again. A solid week plus of negative degree, they would not leave the coop and run. I'm expecting more eggs within the week 😊
Ben: I remember when you first talked about getting a small notebook. It inspired me, too.
Loved Ben's advertisement for his 'my-pad'. Seriously, good to know about this notepad as I've written many notes that I can't read because they were smudged in the rain.
Thanks for another podcast y'all. Love hearing how your week went although I have also watched the days you post. I also enjoy hearing what you have planned for the coming year, or down the road in future years. I think the strangest thing about this year though is seeing Al's property with so little snow. Every year I have watched him plow almost daily in the winter to keep his driveway and road cleared. This year he bought a new bigger, better blade and has hardly used it. It is crazy. Y'all stay warm & dry and have a Blessed week.
Hey Gang 👋, Ben? Have you thought about looking into a pre-fabed addition to your home?
Jason, your lucky to have your FIL helping you on the homestead, he's definitely helpful 👍
Read a biography on Danial Boone. He was asked in his late years why he hadnt retired ,he answered that he needed cash to support his wifes coffee habit.
Al mentions if you sat down and thought about how much food is required per person per day. He also mentions like how much food your town would need how much your neighborhood and then recognizes of course the fact like wow that's a lot of food. The irony in all of this is that a lot of people complain about our food systems and our broken systems but the reality is without those messed up systems people wouldn't be getting fed and that's kind of like the completion of the cycle . What solutions would you have and you know looking at reality that's why those food systems are in place just so people can eat not necessarily in the most helpful way but because they are necessary for people survival. It will be great to see the long-term benefit of eating totally healthy the way you guys do. Now the question is will enough food be able to be produced not only Nationwide but worldwide so that everybody could benefit from healthy food and how do we get these people on track to just do it in your own backyard if you have to.
It would be great if Al and Jason could go to Hollar Homestead when Ben builds his addition so it could be done and ready for Buggy before the baby arrives.
I. Think it's Great that you talk about the weather because I am looking for land knowing temps and wind how much rain is it Unusal or normal what was it like the previous year. The Weather man can't give you Micro climates I watch Ryan hall ya'll he is Very accurate
Love the show, guys. I'm one of those guys who suggested not using concrete on posts, lol. Fence lines change as your needs do and it is only suggested to make it easier for that move. Love all your shows. Keep em coming 😊
Great discussion as always! I so look forward to every Friday when I know there will be a new episode being released.
🇦🇺 Jason, if you want the fencing completed this year you will need a working bee.
The barn that was cleaned out could be turned into an Airbnb.
Some of the places we talk about the weather: cashiers, bank tellers, on elevators, tech & help support,the spouse, strangers..........
JASON!!!!! "LIKE" 50 million times geesh!!!!!!
Jason... never thought about snakes while cleaning out a barn. We're kind of spoiled that way in New England. So, yea.. do that NOW in the cold! Save spring for gardens & chicks.
Al, you will have the best bolt bin ever!!!!
Al, that beard is looking mighty nice!
Tell Gina she’s a lucky girl!
😎
East coast of NC today. Light rain this morning, then sunny and a high of 79. I went to work on getting some garden beds ready for spring, and I SWEATED. It was truly beautiful. lol On the subject of prices...I was born in 1960 (flower child) and gas was 31 cents per gallon. :)
Good morning from Philadelphia ☕️
Stay warm and dry!
To ID a determined egg eater, leave an egg out on the floor of the coop then hide and watch. Some birds will investigate maybe peck once or twice then go on about their business but a really determined egg eater will keep at it until it gets the shell broken open so it can eat it.
I grew up in the suburbs next to a small farm in the 40s & 50s and they sold eggs for 10 cents a dozen.
Ben, my son is like you. The wild weather fluctuations drive him crazy. He has threatened to move to Alaska so he can be where the weather is predictable.
It was 82° but feels like temp was 86° here in West Central Florida 🥵 Wish I was up there with your cooler weather. 🤷🏻♀️ Love the shop talk. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️👩🏻🌾
Hi guys! Is just recently binge listened to all the episode the last past 7 days. I don't know which episode was is when Ben mentioned the Food Inc documentary, but oh my gosh! I just wathed it. The imagery was shocking even though I knew about it for a while. Listening to the intricacies and the webbing of the food system... is just plain evil.
I'm from Europe, and now I try to see the conventional food production by working in each section starting with dairy cows in Denmark. Stock piling the animals while keeping them somewhat healthy to stay in production and profitable is a real strougle for farmers here too. Harsh to see from both perspective.
Keep up the good talk guys! I really enjoy the in depth little infos you give with the episodes!
Jason
Yes we care
Lol
We enjoy listening too you about everything 😁
Your like Family❤️💋🙏
God Bless all of you🙏Linda from Ct🌨🌨🌨
Thanks for not quitting love listening to you guys ❤️ you😂
From Cali here. Ben’s rubbing it in: “rain, twice!”
Military issue paper. Army uses.
I like hearing that on vlogs. It sets the scene and will probably explain why things go as they do later on in the vlog. Necessary information for a farm girl :)
We care by watching you guys. 😅 its that's simple.
Friday in Central VA, 72 and sunny.
Morning guys!!!… let me ask. Have you already got the itch to start seeds?.. maybe please next time talk about how y’all prepare the garden you know your preps
This year I was successful it’s been four years for me. I actually made some great compost out of my scraps and greens and paper products and everything and this year I’ll be using maybe one or two tubs I mean there humongous tubs they were trees in them. I’ll use them to put over my garden .
Notepads.... I work for a commercial printer for my day job, so I am always bringing notepads home. I'm 61 and I find when I walk around the farm and I go from one thing to another and I say owe this needs done, owe I forgot call this person, this needs picked, this needs weeded. If I write it down, it will eventually get done, if I don't, when I get to the house, I say what did I need to do???🤔 I also leave a list for my employees in the summer, when they get home before I do. I think it's good in the morning to just walk around and take inventory of what needs to be done. Out of sight out of mind....
I live in va and had to have back surgery, wow my family had to hire someone to go to the hospital to get me in TN .He had a 4 wheel drive Truck .I'm glad he had one.We had about 6 inches of snow
Good morning everyone.
Mr Rogers always started with its a beautiful day in the neighborhood. So mot a bad format.
I would enjoy a Ben Hollar guitar intro to the podcast.
BOO! on the snow!
Al, the cable you are using is IAC (Interlocked Armor Cable).
Ben if you are considering protein diet get a comprehensive metabolic study bloodwork done to know your starting point like liver function and kidney function etc.
Put a cam to find the egg breaker chickens
experiencing nature. Your activities depend on the weather. Makes sense. Also if we are experiencing a crumby day you may be having sun. or a gentle rain.
"I don't have anything cool like that." LOL
I hate it when we have a false spring, the fruit trees and bushes bloom, then winter comes back with a vengence.😡
Love you all!
The rain headed your way is no joke. I’m almost top of the hill and my yard flooded while it was pouring buckets allllll day. Plus just being rainy for like 5 days straight is creating moisture problems and I’m having to run the heater. If you have things you don’t want to wash away, get it picked up. Like little Chicky said, Enjoy the rain ☔️ 😃
The weather is great to know, but I need the date you are recording! It is frustrating to realize, maybe not on your blog, but on others, that I am watching something that happened a week or more ago. I watch you three immediately within hours of the vlog going active. Often, just seconds!
The barn by the street would make a great farm stand where you could sell your produce ( also eggs and fresh chickens) that you grow out of your large greenhouse.
Maybe even selling chickens live. I remember when I was growing up in the early 40's, there was a truck came down our road (in the city) every Friday, and they sold live chickens.. People would pick out the one they wanted from the cages and he'd grab it, tie the feet, weigh it and it would be taken to the house for Sunday dinner
Maybe put a hunting/field camera in the coop to catch the egg eaters?
Then I had an issue earlier this year with my birds breaking eggs. I ended up putting golf balls and the wood eggs and where they normally lay their eggs at, and actually helped! I very rarely get a broken egg now
14 eggs disappearing? You've got a skunk or two. Usually young one can slip in. Real early. Check for tracks.
I understand with the hardware store situation. We have a small hardware store about 15 miles away. And if they don't have what I need. I have a 45 mile drive.
Thanks guys. Nice talk
I know y'all are enjoying the Winter cold but your videos have me shivering! Bring on the Spring!
Jason - I'm pretty sure that the metal grocery store advertisements were printers press plates.
We always talk about the weather. It's been foggy for days here in the Midwest.
I do it too! 😂 weather talk in the opening lol😂 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ben put up a game camera up to see which chickens are eating the eggs
Like hearing what the weather is and the forecast!
Jason, perhaps you could use the barn for the sheep if you decide to raise them. Great job everyone on the channel content.
Concerning weather, I really do want to know what your weather is like. I’m in sunny Florida, but we’ve had some for us miserable cold here. No frost, no plants killed, but close.
Thanks guys, time flew by! Very interesting shop talk! 👍🏼👍🏼
I have been doing intermittent fasting for about a year and a half. I lost weight and don’t really feel hungry as much. I lost about 30 pounds.
Jason rent you a handheld augar to dig the post holes
I enjoy hearing of your weather! Keep it up...kathy
Leatherman Skeletool is my favorite.
As always interesting I enjoyed your conversations. Godbless.
It's the equivalent of "Once upon a time..." lol
😂😂Y’all can be hilarious 😅
Living Traditions homestead had one flip over recently.
I love hearing about your weather... to LEARN how you best DEAL with it. So many "regular" people seem unprepared and I want to learn HOW to be better prepared.
Making swales to divert excess rain water, cooking outdoors if need be, coping with storms and heat waves and cold snaps... gotta know what to do in so many situations.
👏👏👏

LOL "...I don't have anything cool like that..."
It’s in forethought
