    For those who don’t know tallow is rendered beef fat and lard is rendered pork fat.

      And chicken fat is The Schwartz (Spaceballs reference).

      Lard used to be the cheapest in our stores years ago, considered "poor man oil". Just yesterday, I checked, it is 200gr 1.10 euros. The same price zlmost as butter. Now I can only buy oil, which is 1 Liter 1,90 eur the cheapest. Hell from Estonia.❤

    My Grandmother always used ‘suet’ especially in her pastry - also in the winter we were always given rosehip syrup, and we lived in the middle of a town in the UK. It s so lovely to see you us in the ‘old’ recipes. Sending best wishes to you and yours.

    About 8:13 you were talking about the birch bark for fire starter, if it's white bark it's called white birch which Is probably all you have up there. There is a yellow birch too but that likes warmer weather generaly found southern part Canada. Thought I would let you know so you know for future reference. Awome fire starter and awsome video keep up the good work!

    Just started watching this month. Great content and impressive info. I’m in the so. Calif mountains at 6,000’. Only get a couple feet of snow a year but cold enough to appreciate what your family is able to do. One thing though, I noticed that you stopped the ‘jazz hands’ when talking. I found that entertaining, lol!

    Interesting on charring the wood post to keep it stronger. , I will tuck it away, though I don't live in the manner in which your family does.
    Amy, the tallow and spruce pitch was so interesting! You seem to be a wealth of knowledge. I will see if my pine have any. Do you use spruce tips for tea?
    Also, how do you manage laundry?
    God bless you ❤

    Excellent production value. I'm doing the same, except on a much smaller scale. A tea spoon in a ripping hot pan to sear my 🥩 meat - finished with a pinch of Maldon Salt and butter.

    Nice to see you talk about energetics rather than one size fits all herb use. Also, I thought I had the market cornered on carving herbs with a Buck 110. Guess not.

      Thank you! Thought it was a helpful piece of info for folks. That’s too funny 🤣 Buck 110 is my favorite everything knife!

      @@holdfastalaska You did a great job with the energetics synopsis. I have many 110’s including one passed down to me by my great grandfather. Awesome knife. Loved your tallow walk through. We have to pressure can ours otherwise it goes bad quickly in this warm climate. Looking forward to your next vid.

    I'm pretty sure back when KFC got started that it was common to make fried chicken by deep frying it in beef tallow oil.

      I bet you are right! It was a common cooking oil for a very long time.

    If you can cut up onions and put it in a jar with a spoonful of sugar. It melts down to a syrup and I put a few cloves crunched up in it too. Or put in hot water to make hot tea.

    it's perfect how you made that little house for the animals but I see there's little cracks were cold can go in do you cover those up or do you ever insulate

    • @holdfastalaska
      @holdfastalaska  Месяц назад +3

      We put a thick piece of plywood on the inside to cover all the cracks and make more of a windbreak! There are a few layers of straw on the ground too ❤️

    best way to infuse ginger is Grate it and squish the juice out. quick and more potent than infusing it for hours

    I just found your channel today. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. I am going to binge watch a bunch of videos. So far my most pressing question is do you guys ever sit and relax by the fire? I couldn’t do it. Altho I have always wanted to live in the woods in a cabin😊. My hats off to your family. I have a feeling I am going to learn a lot ❤

    When I’m cutting wood I like to have buckets all around to throw wood scraps into and not have to handle it twice.
