Homestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason Contreras (@sowtheland), Ben Hollar (@thehollarhomestead) and Al Lumnah (@lumnahacres). Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening!
Always glad to see the Three Musketeers, waiting for a LIVE Q&A
God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family's keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO stay safe and healthy, you guys are inspiration and motivaters for other to follow in the footsteps
Al, so glad that Gina had a great check up. I'm sure that made y'all's day with that news. Tell Penelope Happy Birthday, Jason, best wish for a wonderful year. Ben, my son's birthday is also Dec. but earlier in the month. He is quite a bit older that you three gentlemen. I enjoyed this video though. I have always loved having good tools both for our work shop when my husband was still living, and tools for the kitchen that made prepping easier and more fun. I know what Meg's favorite might be....her big electric roaster. She uses that a lot. When you said your pork was quite red, my store bought pork is not even very pink. I wonder what kind of pig it is from. Thanks for sharing a great video again this lovely Friday. Y'all have a Blessed day.
It's not the breed of pig as to why you meat from the store isn't even pink. It's what they are feeding that pig. Soybeans is not good feed for them nor is it good for your body. Bur it's cheap! And the growth chemicals will not give that pig pretty meat either. Just so much junk is fed to factory raised meats, it 😅 our beef, pigs, and chickens.
And I agree, Meg would say her electric roaster and her pressure canner. And kitchen stoves oven and her instapot.
Look forward to this every Friday!!! Buckets would be number 1 !!! And some type of knife!! Bungee cords also!! Great video as always!! The feeling is so refreshing and relaxing!!! 👍
I agree with #1 buckets, #2 a pocket knife of some kind. But I've never used bungee cords on my homestead. #3 Some type of light/flashlight/spotlight, I Agee with AL #4 my battery powered tools especially my drill/driver. #5 I agree with Ben, my lawn tractor, now my Zero turn. & #6 my wagon/cart.
So glad Gina is doing well! ❤
A cordless drill tops my list of most used tools specifically the impact.
Morning guys, have a great day an be safe
Thanks! You too!
Great job you 3. Keep them coming.
I love listening to your podcast. You all three are so incredibly respectful of each other. So I live on a huge farm in a farmhouse built in 1849 and surrounded by corn fields. This year instead of a crop plane dusting they used a helicopter which was cool. My most used tools are 45 mm rotary cutter, 6”x24” ruler, bent needle nose plier, ice pick, and forceps oh and drum sticks
All three of you seem so much more relaxed. I'm really enjoying the podcasts. Even though I'll never be a homesteader, I watch all of you along with some others.
I was thinking the same thing at the end of the episode! They are getting into the groove of talking & interacting with each other in a cohesive & fluid way!
Loving this channel! As an older woman (63 years young) in charge of our homestead for 5 days out of seven (husband still works), my favorite tool is youtubers like you! I have a fairly sized garden, a Mangalitsa, 2 young Kune Kunes, honeybees, chickens (egg layers and meat birds) rabbits and a needy dog. Some of this I've done for 40 years, but some is new to me, and I love watching your videos! Always a chance to learn something new, or a new way to do something. I enjoyed Ben's pig butchering class, and teased him about being from California (I love you Ben lol), but he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to processing pigs. Anyone who has the chance to go to his class should definitely go!
Couldn't have said it better.
My wagon has been co-opted by my husband. He has a wheel barrow but my wagon works better for stuff. I'm going to get him his own wagon, so I can actually use it. :) Love the weekly talks guys!!
I am a 78 lady who loves what you all are doing, your goals, your families. God bless all of you as you move forward. Thank you for the closed captioned!!
On Jason's point of having two pairs of boots/shoe's. I have two pairs of whatever shoes I wear daily, be it work shoes or boots or daily shoes, and I alternate them. My feet sweat a lot and I find that after a day of wearing them, they will not dry out in time to be dry for the next day. Giving them the extra day to dry out, makes them last longer (the two pair last almost 3 times as long as a single pair).
Ben, I'm with you. My birthday is December 25th & the combo present was also depressing for me. And growing up I never had a birthday party. SO when I got older I "rain-checked" my birthday celebrations by celebrating in the spring. It's been much better.
I wanted no children born in December, but it seems that it was the only month I could give birth bcuz ALL my children were born in December. Besides 2 brothers, my grandpa, my ex-husband too. So we have December 07, 10, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 28, 31 covered.
Ben you were born the year before my oldest daughter, same day.
Jason I missed your birthday by 3 days but have almost the whole next week covered, LOL.
AL you didn't tell us when your birthday was. Please add it to the list, thank you!
I love you guys! I have been watching you individually for years so this is a special treat for me. I am taken by your honesty, sense of humor and ingenuity. I hate that at 78 time has caught up with me and I can no longer garden but as the granddaughter of farmers I am happy to say that I have past the love of growing stuff on to my kids. I am sure you will also. Thank you for brightening my days.
Lol that’s the Country life Jason …. On your truck 🛻
Seeing the three of you with the caption "most used tools" gave me a start 😂. I like the podcast very much. I watch all of you and now RUclips is offering me old episodes of your vlogs daily. I especially enjoy seeing the early years of lumnah acres. I started watching you all when Hope flew in 😉
I have a friend who has a birthday on Dec 24th and she hated it. They never celebrated her b-day so she lost out on a lot. Great pod cast. Looking forward to next weeks. God bless
I was surprised cordless drills were not more of a topic on this podcast. I watch all three of you and you use them a bunch. Only Al mentioned them.
I agree, my cordless drill is used a whole lot. Drilling pilot holes, driving screws or bolts, cutting holes like in buckets or building doors/gates. It's almost a daily used item for things here & there on the homestead. But building projects its in constant use.
But I also agree with AL all my battery powered tools come in handy as an almost daily use.
I use a cordless drill and it’s the diggity bomb
TIP for cold brew! Make some brown sugar simple syrup. I put mine in a container like ketchup bottles in diners. My son and I figured out that is what Starbucks uses in some of their cold brews. My son uses oat milk and I use 1/2 n 1/2.
Guys go to your local grocery store for food grade buckets. They give them away!!!!! Pickles and frosting comes in buckets at the grocery stores. I know because I used to work at the local Ingles grocery store in N. Ga mountains.
Ya GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL
I'm with Ben about the gorilla cart. I've been in the process of moving to my retirement farm. The first step was clearing out the home and being in lousy shape and where the dumpster was in relation to the house entrances, I was able to take that cart up the wheelchair ramp into the house, load it up and pull it out to the dumpster. I was even able to balance a couch and other dilapidated furniture on that cart and transport to dumpster. That was a godsend compared to me trying to move those pieces manually by myself.
Definitely has made the jobs of moving things easier.
I agree, a good wagon/cart is a great tool. And if you have to settle for a wheelbarrow get a 2 wheeler. They are some much more balanced and can haul a larger load.
You are the best three amigos ! Everyone is so full of information !! Animals, tools , mechanical , construction , and everything in-between , solar !!!!!! Thanks so much guys !!!!! Viewer for ever , as long as you keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't understand why you guys don't have 100K subscribers on this channel. I LOVE this channel.
Yes, pigs have always been a problem for us. We have to drive a long way to get the Berkshires we love. I've got chicken pot pie in the oven from a meat bird we raised for dinner tonight thanks to your inspiration! Yay, Gina is great. I'm glad you got to go to the beach for 4 days Jason. So sad there were smokers all around you. So sad you cracked your windshield on your Tacoma truck! Messed up your bumper too! It must have been the supermoon! Battery operated circular saw comes in handy with a speed square. Premier One netting is a great moving tool. Zero turn mower. Gorilla cart wagon. Leatherman. Headlamp. Spotlight. Side by side. Tractor. Ratchet straps. Clamps. Battery operated tools. Perfect bungee. Five gallon buckets! Those all sound like essential tools. Yes, unsprayed hay is pretty important too! We have a supplier and it's been great! Thanks for this video guys!
A lot of laughs, every day life on the homestead seems to have its moments. Sorry to hear about the poor Tacoma hardships. Cheers.
I enjoy ya SHOP TALK, sometimes it takes me to settings to see it complete I’m so busy over here thank God for putting stuff on pause for this episode. I’ve had to come back three times. I’m just about finished my really enjoying out because no matter where you’re at, I think all of us are in the same boat of life even if I don’t have feeder pigs or anything like that, I do a lot of canning myself I am super super busy being a self-employed is the hardest job ever and y’all should know because I feel all three of y’all should understand .,I feel all of y’all are self-employed as well.
For winter chores in Maine, stabilicers are a must. They live on my boots all winter.
Are these some type of ice cleet?
@@denisewilson8367 yes. There are lots of versions of STABILicers, but The Maxx2 has screw in cleats that can be replaced when they wear out.
Cordless drill! That’s what I see you all using a lot.
If the boots are rubberized then try the clear flex seal to repair.
🎉#10 congratulations and thank you!!
I'm with you on the smokers, FINALLY, finally, i have non smokers on either side of me. Only people walking down the street and one guy across the street. Believe me, i smell it down the street🤬
DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS. My sister 12/16 and me 12/23. The other two had actual birthday parties in May and March. Christmas was the star and tough on kids….
You have to stay in beef cattle five years to find out if you are profitable. That's assuming that you already own your land and equipment.
Loved seeing you guys on today’s podcast, thanks for sharing your experiences with farming.
Yes, another successful podcast!! Keep up the good work you guys!! God bless y'all! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Another awesome from you guys. lt's another great podcast from these guys and support them if you can.
Much appreciated!
Wow, my birthday is December 17th as well, 1965. I agree with Ben about people wanting to bundle X-mas and my birthday.
We started going to vacation at Dollywood when it was Silver Dollar City.
Dolly took a good park and made it great.
We went to Pigeon Forge, TN at least twice a year for all of my childhood.
Jason and Ben should time it so you can do the 3 pig breeds in a side by side comparison. Would love to see that.
I’m the Summer I only drink Cold iced coffee that I make myself,and in winter I switch back to Hot Coffee ☕️
Love you and this video. Ben your just my favorite. Who ever thought of this is favored in a big way. I thing you are the first of many! Thanks so much !
Mine is 12/17 too!!Stinks so close to Christmas!
Brinsea boots are guaranteed for replacement.
Ben
Same way with my little sister hers is Christmas Eve and everyone while had the wrapping paper out wrapped her birthday in it
Every year she eould cry one year My brother close to my age and I got paper sacks and drew presents and balloons and farm animals on it she loved it
I have not missed one.
Jason you can get free 5 gallon buckets from any deli like all grocery stores have them whatever store you shop ask deli manager to start saving them for you. I got 40 buckets in 2 weeks 20 the first week and 20 the next
Thanks guys, starting my little homestead/ flower farm it was a big deal to find food grade buckets to harvest maple syrup, also use them to harvest flowers! Keeping the buckets clean is important for syrup and keeping flowers fresh! I smiled when you started talking about them! My other tools are, sharp snips, a hoe and dandy lion stick and an vintage John Deere cart that is very deep! Which I use to haul compost, firewood and for weeding! Thanks! Al I agree a side by side would make chores fun! 😄
My most used tool is golf cart I keep a shovel, rake, hoe, pitch fork, loppers, hammer, screw drivers, weed eater and much more aboard at all times. # 2 is zero turn mower. I love gardening and yard work
So at the time I’m using a lot of 5 gallon buckets cause I’m putting metal stations of buckets by my plans since we are on the water restriction. I’m just bottom watering the plants for now. Bye guys go to your local delis or food places and they sell the buckets to you with a lid for two dollars. Our Miller’s hamburgers here in Houston has tons of them and I go and pick them up their food grade very clean and she sells them for two dollars for 5 gallon bucket when we are close to some type of pandemic and they want us to shut down or whatever I went and bought a whole bunch of them from her and I still use it for different things. I need to go pick up two more from her.
I've heard about people who feed their pigs spent brewer's waste, which is high in nutrients and in plentiful supply since there are so many breweries all over. Maybe check out to see if you can hook up with any small breweries nearby to cut down the feed bill?
My dad's bday was the 29th. Capricorn, yup.
My friend has her Birthday right on Christmas. She celebrates at her half birthday on July 25th.
Al.....You were talking about electric vs propane. I also watch "Tiny Shiny Home". They are in SE Arizona and are building their outbuildings & now their home in the middle of nowhere and only have solar & propane. They just had quite a discussion about why propane is the best for them. They also do a LOT of water catchment during monsoon season. Quite interesting as their buildings are of bags filled with sand & cement, then covered with adobe. The "Tiny Shiny" is because they have have lived for several years in an Airstream.
Really enjoyed these podcasts. It’s like being a fly on the wall watching and listening to you guys chatting 😃
Replace all of your vehicle filters, cabin filter and air filters are essential. 🕊
Winter is a lot milder in NC than where Al lives.
On the subject of work boots … my husband has the same issues. He works 12 hour shifts in a plant & his boots NEVER last him long. He does what Jason suggested (about buying 2 pairs & alternating them). Also like Ben, they tend to just fall apart from the inside out.
Ben, I had a BF who's Birthday was the 24, Her Mom always had a birthday party for her in July.
Al you need kodiak boots they are great for cold
My birthday is 12/31/54 and I almost ALWAYS had my birthday gift under the tree to have to wait a week to open it. I never had a party and on my 16th our church was having a New Year's party and I thought now I finally would but my parents decided to go to the Moose Lodge so I got to babysit my 10 yo brother instead. 😲😂
I look forward to listening to your podcast
Al I remember the pink or orange colored ratchet straps you used quite a lot
Happy to see you guys settling into this podcast. The vibe is freaking awesome 😎👍
😮BEN, boots splitting, have you ever used a boot oil or leather softener? It may help on the ankle splits. And! There are still boot repairmen out there. Might be expensive, but if they can fix 2 right ffoot soles (or left i forget), it would be worth it if the boot is otherwise good.❤
I use bear grease & only get about 6 to 9 months out of my boots also. Just tougher than the leather that boots are made of these days. Used to get a year to year & a half. But not anymore.
Snowboots never keep my feet warm so if anyone knows of a good warm boot for snow knee deep or more for our Michigan winters let me know. They never last more than one season also.
Jason they have a TV commercial about a couple breaking their windshield by putting lumber through to the windshield 😢lol!
From a primo to a beater in a day!!!!
Al, I would love to hear more about your solar system and how you are liking it. Maybe an episode for your channel?
I scored 20 5 gallon pickle buckets from a local finer the other day!
I understand that US made Solar panels are way cheaper and more wattage than Chinese.
Wow. My son's birthday is the 17th, too Jason. Mine is December 30th. 😊
Happy birthday to your kid!
Y'all have to look into IPP pigs . WAY less grain and MUCH less time to raise till processing. Check out the Sarcastic Sow farm in NC. I've used them and love them. 🙂🐷
@LIVING TRADITIONS HOMESTEAD in southern Arkansas was breeding IPP's too. They still raise the breed but no longer breed any pigs. They just buy 2 piglets in the spring.
Al, my home is all electric and I am running 38 panels and more to the point I live in the desert and so AC and heat are electric, while I am connected to the grid, I am selling them electricity. It can be done. I am having a Franklin Battery wall of 30 KV installed in a couple weeks and if the grid goes down, oh well, tough if you think it will affect me. You got it pal
Very country -multiservice ..lol food store brainstorm, and Notary ..,
Hilarious oh, and you can even add reserves since the wives Can
I have heard about Lite Boots..... They sound really good. My guys are all boot wearing but they generally use cowboy style work boots.
Hay in Eastern Canada is at a premium this year (too much rain) to a point where a lot of beef will end up in cattle sales.
Later BEN. I look forward to FRIDAY SHOPTALK ☀️👍👍👍
each week. My dad used to get green pickle bucket's from European Markets. He had 75. Also Walmart gave away from the bakery's icing buckets free.
You will have to rewash them.
AL the Workshop looks fabulous. PLEASE keep the RED DOOR. With a bright light over it will look great at night.
Especially with Snow shhhh.
Thank you gentlemen. Until we meet again.
BEN, if you can, give pig workshop date's as early as possible for people to make arrangements. Traveling, farmsitters ETC. Here is our last long weekend " Labor Day"
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU ALL.
FROM SE MICHIGAN ✨👍🛐✝️🀄👍👍🌟☕☕☕☕🌻💖
How was your coffee Evalina?
Jason, In country Australia if you run into a white post, you claim you got hit by a white kangaroo with a red eye. In other words a white post with red reflective piece.
LOL that's funny.
Once again, you fellas are terrific. Great talk. Thanks.
Blessings to you all and your families.
I have never had cold feet using the Muck Boots. I live in very cold climate at the tip of Lake Superior. Weeks of 20 below is common. Use a good pair of wicking socks and that is all you need. Too many socks and you are asking for cold feet, which is not what you would think.
My list is: Pitch fork, shovel, circular saw, drill and wagon. Couldn't live on a homestead without those basic things. My next would be a broom...sweeping out coop etc. Ohh yes and a broom for the fine dust in the coop. Should have made this the top 10 things...lol. a hoe, a maul and 5 gal buckets. If grid goes down collect water for your animals.
Bring all your boots in to a shoe repair make one good pair, LOL j/k
Love you three
❤❤❤❤❤
Always interesting
Keen boots are really good
My uncle who was a farmer for 80 years SWORE BY Red Wings boots….. that’s all he wore…..
Do all 3 of you play guitar ? 🕊
13th of Dec here!
Buckets for birthdays!
another great video
AL you have to include chain saws and ladders. ben get left sock or glove for xmas and the other sock or glove for birthday. as for buckets builders/contracters and many businesses and bakers have plenty to part with. clean and use not those wimpy hardware style.
wow Dec . we get shorted for sure
Great podcast guy's okay you three I'm giving y'all the same question? Where do you see yourself in 5years ? My perdition is Ben will be selling pig's an tall chicken. Wagon coops on the regular including homesteading,Al will be a coffee company an a hostess of some do it yourself work shop s an a homesteader,then Jason will be a self blueprint maker for homesteads to have water towers free from city/county coast and a homestead doing regular work shops on chicken butchering.what's y'all s thoughts.? Is that a good question. Lol stay safe see ya on #11
But try the restaurant or delis for buckets
Just saw a whole litter of guinea hogs listed for free on craigslist in my area! Ha! Interesting. Coastal Alabama
Sounds like someone can't afford feed.
@@DukeOOO Oh yes, now that makes sense as a possible why!
Better grab them up, can't get no cheaper than that for meat in the freezer.
Guys solar is a rip off. You never recoup the cost of the set up. By the time you start breaking even it is time to replace batteries. Off grid is doing what Doug and Stacy are doing. No solar, no well (electricity or solar) no heat other than wood burner, no stove unless it is a wood cook stove. Unless you have a well with a hand pump you are screwed, unless you make a set up like Dougs. I can't believe so many people fell for the solar rip off. Just like the electric car rip off. That is like sitting on top of a radiation machine. The EMF's they omit is off the charts.
I LOVE iced coffee. Every time I've looked to order coffee at Lumnah's, it was sold out. :( I'll keep looking til I get some. :)
I don’t know if it makes a difference or not but my husband and my son in law are both in the oilfield on rigs and they wear Redman boots and these guys are in water, mud, oil, fluids on the daily
Good to know, thank you!
