It's called faithfulness, a focus on things that count. Whatever a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Scripture says, " ignorance will not save you." These videos are exstreamly useful. Thank you Sister. You ROCK!!!
I agree, I have been following Heidi for about 5 years or more, She has alot of information and great resource of how to do things, It was Teresa at Stringfield Ridge Farm that recommended Rain Country.
Yes! Useful beyond words! Heidi is probably my favorite YT person, I dont know what to call it. Life has done it's thing taking my attention and with YT algorithms or suggestions or whathaveyou, didnt see much of her videos for quite a while. Im really not one to go and check each channel that I like, rather I rely on what pops up, as it's pretty closely got me pegged. 😆 But Ive learned a lot from this channel and have been inspired to try quite a few things! A few years back was my first go at vinegar with Heidi's apple peel method. And now today, I just bottled 2 gallons I made using scraps after pressing cider this last season. Went out on a limb, tried it and worked great! Need to get some new test strips but I tried testing it with an old test strip for the pool we used to have, ph showed up super low! Tasted sour but sweet. I think my willingness to try things, while Ive always had it, is encouraged or reinforced by folks like Heidi. Next lil project will be to plant organic ginger that started sprouting. Always thought about it, now to make it happen. [indoors of course, especially here in the PNW where I live] Another favorite I learned from this channel is dehydrating/powdering eggs! Its where I first learned of the jar vacuum sealing attachment, which I love and have multiple kinds now. But I even bought myself a brake bleeder like Heidi uses, cuz you just never know with power outages. I use jar attachment to remove air from LOTS of things now! No need for tupperware etc when I can use a canning jar, and keeps longer/fresher when no oxygen inside to grow mold. So yes, this channel has been full of useful "this n that"! 😉 Glad you've been back in my feed again, Heidi!
Thanks Koni. I'm 70, just downsized to a new state, am just starting my pantry last month on my SSA check ... so your comment gives me lots of hope. Thank you. Bea
We’re going into our 5th (I believe) year of putting away food, making medicines, cleaning products & so much more and I have learned that from you! I watch you on RUclips because it’s easier for me, but if you ever totally move, I will follow you there. I watch on a smart tv, and haven’t figured out how to put Rumble on it. I pray that God continues to bless you for all you do!
I've been working on having a better prepared life since before 2000. It did not all come at once, and I'm still working on it and improving, and I'm not perfect. 99% of us did not start at "top of the line." Instead of complaining about what they can't do, I hope these people you speak of are able to move beyond that into an attitude of can do and start from where they are at, just like the rest of us did at some point. Persons complaining and feeling like they can't: It is better to not spend time being a victim but rather be a survivor. Life is not always easy, it has good times and bad times, start taking your steps to move forward in it. By participating with channels like Rain Country, you have already started with learning new information that may help at some point. Its not just about having food on the shelf(physical prep).. It's about mental and spiritual preparation, too. Most of us here know you can move forward, I hope you figure it out. Heidi, I appreciate all you do and the information you and your husband provide, thank you.
Thank you for this video Heidi. Yes, it takes time to have a complete pantry. I am lucky to live in a house and have a pantry, but it took at about 4 years to finish it. I have bought some equipment that are expensive such as dehydrator, slow-cooker, sterilisator and I went to the second hand markets to buy old kitchen tools. I am very satisfied now and only need more learning and experience. Have a great week ❤🙏❤️
The home that we moved into 7 years ago has a fireplace. Not an insert, not a freestanding stove… a fireplace. We are so thankful for this fireplace. We would love to have a stove, but we would not want to be without anything at all like we were in our last home, (where by the way, we used a camp stove when the power went out and even that I loved doing.) When the power goes out now, I cook to the side of the fire on the coals. I love every minute of that. I also enjoy seeing what other people have and how they use it and would love to have a freestanding stove one day. Anyone who gets “bent out of shape” over you pointing out your wood burning stove and expressing the value that you have found in it needs to take a look at the lack of contentment that they possess. Being thankful for and resourceful with what you have while being happy for someone who has more than you do is more important than any amount of preps. What good is survival if you have an unappreciative heart? I love seeing your stove and the dehydrating trays next to it with the cute cloths on them. Aren’t things like that the reason that we all watch your videos? To learn from someone who has what we don’t so we can learn what to shoot for? Sheesh, some people!
I actually did a video a year or two ago on cooking in an open fireplace, you probably know all the tips but there may be an idea in the video or in comments you have not tried yet: ruclips.net/video/qW6BiZS2Bkc/видео.html
Estate sales and yard sales are great to go to. I got some of my kerosene lanterns there,camping stoves,almost everything. Yes ,Heidi, it takes along time to collect items. I like antique items so I collect alot. I own a home that had a very large fireplace that I could cook on,just in case. I like the storage cabinet,nice. Love the show,as always. Oh btw,you and Patrick have Not aged,yall look great!
One thing about getting prepared is buying things so you don't have to spend money later. That can start with buying 10kg of flour at $0.13/100g instead of 2.5kg at $0.18/100g
The Provident Prepper has a video this week about a woman named Susan Williams, One Step at a Time. She’s prepping on a social security budget. She lives in Florida and has to be prepared for the real possibility of hurricanes. It’s worth a listen to her tips on prepping and preparing on a very limited budget.
I live in the mountains so my main heat source is my wood stove and have cooked on it many times, even if I have power. I've been prepping for over a year and am no where near ready for a long haul, not able to get food episode, mainly with protein. I've been dehydrating eggs and cooked chicken and turkey, and vacuum sealing nuts as I can afford to buy them. We all need to start somewhere, just keep at it. ❤
@@bgatlin5918 Amen to that. People can go to food banks and get stuff in tins and packets to build a stockpile. I've watched many videos on YT of the hauls people have got from American food banks. The stuff they get is amazing, better than what my shopping trolley looks like from the supermarket. Our UK food banks are completely crap in comparison. So there's absolutely no reason people cannot build a prepper pantry.
Heidi, it’s helpful to know why “like, comment & share” matters. So many creators say it as part of their videos & it simply sounds narcissistic (as in “like me, like me!”) Now I get how to help & why it matters. 💞
I can comment every day. You have taught me so much. I am an older woman with health struggles, but thanks to you and a few others, I have a purpose again. I can probably provide food for my family for close to a year if needed. That means mom and Dad, adult brother, adult son, daughter in law and her grandfather. Our adult daughter and her husband and our two grandkids. I want to grow this to 3 years, but it takes time So grateful for all I have learned from you. also focused on paying down debt. It is all starting to happen. Thanks again. Can't wait til I can be able to start supporting your ministry financially.
Ginger may be my favorite thing to dehydrate! The difference between store-bought and home dried ginger root is VAST! Thank you for providing such good videos through the year, Heidi! Edited to add: Yes, it takes years and years to really be more self-sufficient. We've got a new couple down the road who moved here from Texas, and are getting a small homestead going, another one who just bought a rather big run-down dairy farm. They are both prone to say, "There's always so much more to do, or, I don't feel like I've accomplished much...." I remind them that we've been on our place over 30 years, and we're not done either. You think you're ahead of the game, and the game changes, or some animal breaks something you then need to fix, etc. But you keep chugging along.
Well. I love love your videos. I couldn't just play and walk away. I am subscribed to a few channels, but faithfully wait and watch 3. You're one of those. I have learned so much and keep learning, so I am here to stay and help in any way. I got my seeds from you, manynthings that Mr. Rain has made. Just love it, and thank you.❤
I agree. I watch and rewatch these videos when I have questions. I watch every new one everyday along with maybe three other RUclipsrs. Every year I'm working more in my garden and adding in more herbs to try. We're always learning more, we just need to use that knowledge.
Thank you so much for today’s this and that! I’m going to watch your other videos on preparedness. It’s a bit overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. I made a list of the must haves and prioritizing those and will build from there. Oh your pantry🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 my dream!!!!! Some day 😂 you’re such an inspiration thank you🫶🏻
We have used our camping stoves during power outages and it is so nice just to have something warm. Warms our spirits and we hunker down. I feel like we can always do more to prepare but at least it’s not stressful while the power is out. The kids always think it is sort of fun 😊
One of the many things that I enjoy about your channel is that I always learn something new and helpful as I listen to you. I thank you for that. I also enjoy your down-to-earth presentations and attitude. You're a blessing.
Such a sad society we live in where people question you about your content..to those folks I say just don’t watch..but I guess their bored or just a negative person trying to make someone else feel down. 🤔☹️. Please, please keep your content going I for one am learning even in my old age..in my 70’s have been a “city” dweller most of my life but I sooo enjoy your channel, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO! 💗💝💝💯
I just love your attitude about busy bodies who don’t have common sense and most of the ones that complain have not watched your whole video. Some people just need more prayers than others. I love your videos. You are very well informed and you freely give your knowledge in an uncomplicated no nonsense way. May God Bless you and your family always…especially in the trying times that are coming.
Heidi,I bought the camp coffee pot awhile ago ,and my sixth glass top broke. So I came up with the idea to use a coffee filter! I just inserted it where the glass top went and had the opening of filter go over the stem when cover was closed! Works wonderfully! Thanks for all you do!
Heidi, you have so many ideas for all of us to think outside the box. Heidi, you do encourage me, and I know many others are encouraged too. Thank you for another Great Video! Oh no Heidi, your controlling account! 🤣🤣🤣 Snarky, snarky!! Praying that your Rumble account will grow and grow. Thank you, Heidi, for your sense of humor.
Love your channel, Heidi. I appreciate and respect your content and find you to be one of my top homesteading channels to follow! I love your positivity. Its a shame o see so many good channels I formerly loved getting so negative and political. Thanks for keeping it peaceful.❤
I really look forward to all your video’s. I’m still going thru your older ones from years ago . Such great information .. I loved your advice for marriage . You are so right on with all your points. We have been married for 47 yeasts now and live on a farm. Yes both of have to give 100% to make things work in a marriage . You have to work out a lot of things way before you think about marriage . Remember that people grow and mature at different levels also ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Love watching all your videos... No matter what's going on in my life, I will take the time to watch your videos. Always packed FULL of valuable information. You have NO IDEA how you have motivated me in my nutritional and prepping journey as well as my personal walk with The Lord. Love ya bunches!! 🙏🙂
Thank you for explaining how to help. I look for your videos daily and I like listening and watching them when I have lunch. I did this for years at work and now that I am retired I still do it. Very sorry to hear about what’s going on. But hang in there there we will all help you and keep us posted on how we can continue to help if things change. Censorship is the old order trying to control but I think its days are numbered. You shall prevail and so will all the other channels. Love and light and freedom are unstoppable.
Interesting. Well I am sure that ban is not in place in Clallam county and I am sure they will at least try but will have a much harder time here because people are so dependent on them in our area even today.
Your last comment about interacting is critical. I love just playing my favorite content creators' lol videos while Í'm working around the house and ALWAYS clicking Like. Most often sharing them too.
FYI Re: your and Doug & Stacy's troubles on your other channel - for some time now David Paulides' CanAm Missing 411 has been having a very rough time there as well. When you said to just play your content in the background, I thought, "that's exactly what Paulides says." He has reported the problems to them with no resolution. This got me reflecting back on "old Twitter" practices and I've wondered if some of those fired employees migrated to you-know-where. Whatever the case, thanks for all you and Patrick do & for posting on Rumble, too!
I love mixing ground beef and turkey/chicken together, or venison and turkey/chicken for my sausage or even my burgers.. I save my coconut oil from frying mushrooms (as long as it is not overheated) to use as a oil in my lean meats.. also adds great flavor when heating your tortillas :) ..
Congratulations on your marriage! My anniversary is February 11th, 12 years with my best friend! We started preparedness about 6 years ago, and grow every year. Little by little, gaining more knowledge and saving more and more. Thank you for your knowledge that has helped us on this journey. 💕
I found a bunch of canning jars at a yard sale a couple of years ago. The seller didn’t realize what he had because they were in a box under a table! Couldn’t believe it!
I choose which channel to watch when based on whether they demonstrate things. If they're just talking, like your this & that videos, that's the perfect time for me to get a meal together...when my food is ready I choose a channel that demonstrates, and watch while I eat. They say you shouldn't do that, but since I'm eating alone much of the time, it's kind of like having someone else to eat with.
We are currently switching to a wood stove from a pellet stove. We lived off grid on 20 acres in Colorado with no trees. Now we are on 30 acres of forest land, the trees and maple syrup are free. Those nasty folks remind me of the child that says "I can't do that!, Mama says, yes you can and walks the child through it...Heidi is SO patient with the fluoride brains. 🙌
Good morning great too see you today I love your shows and information thanks for sharing and Gods blessings for you and your husband and family keep up the great work and be safe
I've got mushrooms dehydrating today and a gallon of yogurt incubating. Also canning 14 more qts of beans today ❤ and starting more seeds 😍 I've already got all my herbs and medical seeds started (hundreds 😂) I'm so ready for this spring garden season here in Central Texas
Thanks, Heidi, for explaining yt and other platforms. How they operate. I really enjoy your videos. I also started purchasing Azure products. The cost is worth it to me knowing the sorce and company I'm buying from. I am also buying local raised meat and bulk from Amish store if their products fit my criteria 😊 My new goal is to buy from local farms, farmers market (if they grow it themselves), I have started asking how they grow their foods. 😊
Prepping can be done, start small, like Heidi says. I'm in an apartment,space is limited but I keep adding to my pantry. Thank you Heidi for all your knowledge and experience!
Great start and keep working on the prepping! My husband and I lived in Michigan's upper peninsula and started our prepping journey with camping items (coffee pot, camp stove, etc.). We discovered that we could endure a power failure with these items and ditched the electric items. We collected water from an artesian well. We met neighbors in the building by making coffee during the outage! We were able to share food that would otherwise go to waste. Such blessings!
It's fun to learn new things. I want to encourage others to try dehydrating. This past Fall I dehydrated a lot of herbs, rose petals, nasturtium & strawberry leaves for my hot teas. I air dried lemon, grapefruit & orange peels for tea too. Everything tastes better home made.
Thanks dear, We are 78 & finally got out of the city Rural space small retirement community-still prepping and trying to live debt free but it’s not so easy. Love your channel. Gardening and loving it but can’t have chickens and really miss them.
Have loved your videos for years ❤️. Doug and Stacy, and American Homestead also. You guys have helped and inspired me so much. Thank you and bless you for all you do.
I started prepping 6 years ago but live in a hot humid climate. This has been our hottest summer ever. So much of the store bought food has gone off or is a bit funky. I've stopped buying and we are trying to use up what we have. Not sure what to do then... I love your channel. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤❤❤
I'm really getting into dehydrating.. I have a lot of solar, but have a fear the power will be gone. Want to can or dehydrate as much as possible... BTW we hit 120 last july (Phoenix valley)
You are just wonderful! It’s sad you have to constantly explain “yourself”. I am not a RUclips fan but I check both yt and rumble as there a a couple I watch that haven’t switched to rumble. Thank you for ALL you do. I truly hope the ones that poopoo everything doesn’t discourage because you’re amazing!
We were blessed with deer thus past fall, and made a breakfast sausage, and an Italian sausage, both turned out well, and is a good alternative to pork. Yours look yummy. Thanks for all you do, please don't let the Karen's discourage you, God bless you.
Yes, I have started it before but I do not want to grow it inside. I had a good start going but as soon as I put it out in the spring (this was a couple of years ago) we had a late freeze and even though it was in a very protected area on our deck up against the house, it still died and never came back. I do not have the time and space to keep fussing with things that will not do well outside in our climate
Amen! I don't have a wood stove. I wish I did. But I have fire bowl, barbecue and camp stove. I also can make a rocket stove. I have saved up boxes of? Pine cones! Ha! I have them stored in my unheated garage. I cut walnut trees constantly. So I can go scavenge wood to cook with. I do need a new bottle for propane, which I have not gotten. I have low power Mennonite Electric Fireplaces. IF I can get some batteries going? I could run them in Emergency. I will get some batteries going! Already have panels, cables and regulators or whatever they are called..I also have a brand new, still in the box, convection heater, that uses low watts. I keep kerosene and tealigyts in Stock and barbecue lighters and have lamps. Enough to have one on stairs, one by gas stove, one in bathroom, one for each bedroom. Overall, other than sump pump, water pump and furnace? I am pretty good off. Each thing I added year by year. None was all in one go! Oh! I have also been making fire starters, gorgeous the last 2 years! I have quite a few made up! I also keep refillable lighters, gas for them and lots of box matches.
Thank you Heidi for all the time and work you put into sharing your knowledge and experience! Your videos are always so helpful and easy to understand!
Oh dear Heidi, you are truly an INSPIRATION to so many and you have a beautiful gift of seeing alternatives to the norm. Sadly there are people, whose life has been filled with unhappiness, will never see the upside or possibilities that are presented to them. They prefer to remain in the victim mentality. If I am about to make a purchase from Amazon, but not something that you specifically have links to, but I start from one of your Amazon links, do you also benefit from my purchases? If so, before I make a purchase, I will initiate my search from your channel.
Yes, we do, I do not always think to say that so I appreciate you asking. That is what I really like about how the links work, as long as you go through any amazon affiliate link provided, it does not matter what you add to your cart, we get credit it for any that is added during that shopping session
@@RainCountryHomestead GREAT, I am so happy to know that. I have gone to your site a few times before make purchases in the hopes that you get some revenue from it. You do so, so much for your views and most people have no understanding of how long it takes to provide and upload the content. I am deeply grateful to you and am so happy that the links to Amazon will help in a small way. God Bless and keep inspiring the world.
Start with any steps and keep buying till you have enough. If you sve a pound or dollar when you have one and all the loose change to it you will get a pile of mooneybto invest and buy other stuff. Five 20 pences are a 1 pound. Jeep saving till you have enough
It's called faithfulness, a focus on things that count. Whatever a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Scripture says, " ignorance will not save you." These videos are exstreamly useful. Thank you Sister. You ROCK!!!
100% our attention is so powerful. What you shine light upon, grows 💖

At 70 years, I am still "building my prepping pantry". A little bit everyday does make that difference of being ready and able.
Thanks Koni. I'm 70, just downsized to a new state, am just starting my pantry last month on my SSA check ... so your comment gives me lots of hope. Thank you. Bea
me too
Me three! ☺️

We have used our camping stoves during power outages and it is so nice just to have something warm. Warms our spirits and we hunker down. I feel like we can always do more to prepare but at least it’s not stressful while the power is out. The kids always think it is sort of fun 😊
❤ I might find it even more fun than the kids do! I’m always disappointed when the power comes back on! 😄
@@LavenderandLinenWe lose it, but never for long.
One of the many things that I enjoy about your channel is that I always learn something new and helpful as I listen to you. I thank you for that. I also enjoy your down-to-earth presentations and attitude. You're a blessing.
Such a sad society we live in where people question you about your content..to those folks I say just don’t watch..but I guess their bored or just a negative person trying to make someone else feel down. 🤔☹️. Please, please keep your content going I for one am learning even in my old age..in my 70’s have been a “city” dweller most of my life but I sooo enjoy your channel, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO! 💗💝💝💯
Thank you for explaining! I do not blame you for trying to make a bit of income!
I just love your attitude about busy bodies who don’t have common sense and most of the ones that complain have not watched your whole video. Some people just need more prayers than others. I love your videos. You are very well informed and you freely give your knowledge in an uncomplicated no nonsense way. May God Bless you and your family always…especially in the trying times that are coming.
Heidi,I bought the camp coffee pot awhile ago ,and my sixth glass top broke. So I came up with the idea to use a coffee filter! I just inserted it where the glass top went and had the opening of filter go over the stem when cover was closed! Works wonderfully! Thanks for all you do!
I love Zack and Doug and Stacy, they pick on them because they have opinions :) Remember when America was proud of having freedom of speech :)
Thanks! I like your empty jar storage...I'll be looking at something like that too.
Awww, cute, young couple. Such a good picture. 😊
Heidi, you have so many ideas for all of us to think outside the box. Heidi, you do encourage me, and I know many others are encouraged too. Thank you for another Great Video! Oh no Heidi, your controlling account! 🤣🤣🤣 Snarky, snarky!! Praying that your Rumble account will grow and grow. Thank you, Heidi, for your sense of humor.
Its getting harder with the costs going up but frugality and focusing on what you need vs what you want can really make a difference
Love your channel, Heidi. I appreciate and respect your content and find you to be one of my top homesteading channels to follow! I love your positivity. Its a shame o see so many good channels I formerly loved getting so negative and political. Thanks for keeping it peaceful.❤
I really look forward to all your video’s. I’m still going thru your older ones from years ago . Such great information .. I loved your advice for marriage . You are so right on with all your points. We have been married for 47 yeasts now and live on a farm. Yes both of have to give 100% to make things work in a marriage . You have to work out a lot of things way before you think about marriage . Remember that people grow and mature at different levels also ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Please don’t ever stop this you tube channel! Love your information THANK YOU
Love watching all your videos... No matter what's going on in my life, I will take the time to watch your videos. Always packed FULL of valuable information. You have NO IDEA how you have motivated me in my nutritional and prepping journey as well as my personal walk with The Lord. Love ya bunches!! 🙏🙂
Thank you for explaining how to help. I look for your videos daily and I like listening and watching them when I have lunch. I did this for years at work and now that I am retired I still do it. Very sorry to hear about what’s going on. But hang in there there we will all help you and keep us posted on how we can continue to help if things change. Censorship is the old order trying to control but I think its days are numbered. You shall prevail and so will all the other channels. Love and light and freedom are unstoppable.
When we left Pierce county WA they were getting ready to ban fireplaces and wood stoves in new construction.
Interesting. Well I am sure that ban is not in place in Clallam county and I am sure they will at least try but will have a much harder time here because people are so dependent on them in our area even today.
Yes, fireplaces and gas stoves! These are things that they hate because they help us to be self sufficient!
Your last comment about interacting is critical. I love just playing my favorite content creators' lol videos while Í'm working around the house and ALWAYS clicking Like. Most often sharing them too.
You do a great job on so many things. Thankful that you are on YT.
FYI Re: your and Doug & Stacy's troubles on your other channel - for some time now David Paulides' CanAm Missing 411 has been having a very rough time there as well. When you said to just play your content in the background, I thought, "that's exactly what Paulides says." He has reported the problems to them with no resolution. This got me reflecting back on "old Twitter" practices and I've wondered if some of those fired employees migrated to you-know-where. Whatever the case, thanks for all you and Patrick do & for posting on Rumble, too!
I love mixing ground beef and turkey/chicken together, or venison and turkey/chicken for my sausage or even my burgers.. I save my coconut oil from frying mushrooms (as long as it is not overheated) to use as a oil in my lean meats.. also adds great flavor when heating your tortillas :) ..
Congratulations on your marriage! My anniversary is February 11th, 12 years with my best friend! We started preparedness about 6 years ago, and grow every year. Little by little, gaining more knowledge and saving more and more. Thank you for your knowledge that has helped us on this journey. 💕
Great storage ideas; thank you for sharing, be well, and be safe.
🙌🏽💚🙌🏽 Righteous Guidance, Protection, Peace, Blessings, Favours & Success 🙌🏽💚🙌🏽
I found a bunch of canning jars at a yard sale a couple of years ago. The seller didn’t realize what he had because they were in a box under a table! Couldn’t believe it!
I choose which channel to watch when based on whether they demonstrate things. If they're just talking, like your this & that videos, that's the perfect time for me to get a meal together...when my food is ready I choose a channel that demonstrates, and watch while I eat. They say you shouldn't do that, but since I'm eating alone much of the time, it's kind of like having someone else to eat with.
We are currently switching to a wood stove from a pellet stove.
We lived off grid on 20 acres in Colorado with no trees. Now we are on 30 acres of forest land, the trees and maple syrup are free.
Those nasty folks remind me of the child that says "I can't do that!, Mama says, yes you can and walks the child through it...Heidi is SO patient with the fluoride brains. 🙌
Good morning great too see you today I love your shows and information thanks for sharing and Gods blessings for you and your husband and family keep up the great work and be safe
hang in there...... God is in control!!!!! God bless you and your family.......
I never get tired of This-n-That videos. 😃
I've got mushrooms dehydrating today and a gallon of yogurt incubating. Also canning 14 more qts of beans today ❤ and starting more seeds 😍 I've already got all my herbs and medical seeds started (hundreds 😂) I'm so ready for this spring garden season here in Central Texas
Thanks, Heidi, for explaining yt and other platforms. How they operate. I really enjoy your videos.
I also started purchasing Azure products. The cost is worth it to me knowing the sorce and company I'm buying from. I am also buying local raised meat and bulk from Amish store if their products fit my criteria 😊
My new goal is to buy from local farms, farmers market (if they grow it themselves), I have started asking how they grow their foods.
😊
Prepping can be done, start small, like Heidi says. I'm in an apartment,space is limited but I keep adding to my pantry. Thank you Heidi for all your knowledge and experience!
Great start and keep working on the prepping! My husband and I lived in Michigan's upper peninsula and started our prepping journey with camping items (coffee pot, camp stove, etc.). We discovered that we could endure a power failure with these items and ditched the electric items. We collected water from an artesian well. We met neighbors in the building by making coffee during the outage! We were able to share food that would otherwise go to waste. Such blessings!
So glad you are still showing up in this space.
Thanks for explaining how RUclips works.
It's fun to learn new things. I want to encourage others to try dehydrating. This past Fall I dehydrated a lot of herbs, rose petals, nasturtium & strawberry leaves for my hot teas. I air dried lemon, grapefruit & orange peels for tea too. Everything tastes better home made.
Good morning Heidi💐
Love the cabinet! Now I'm off to Amazon to look for one.
O, I forgot to add that link, here it is: amzn.to/3SmHJgy
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you so much!!!
Heidi, you're amazing and I so appreciate the information, teaching and encouragement ❤️
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, AND GOD BLESS YA'LL ALWAYS~
Thank you this is my favorite channel on utube
Wow, great video Heidi. Very encouraging.
We can't find Turkey here now, let alone elk. Its getting worse by the week. 😢
Sad :(
Thanks dear,
We are 78 & finally got out of the city
Rural space small retirement community-still prepping and trying to live debt free but it’s not so easy.
Love your channel.
Gardening and loving it but can’t have chickens and really miss them.
Have loved your videos for years ❤️. Doug and Stacy, and American Homestead also. You guys have helped and inspired me so much. Thank you and bless you for all you do.
I started prepping 6 years ago but live in a hot humid climate. This has been our hottest summer ever. So much of the store bought food has gone off or is a bit funky. I've stopped buying and we are trying to use up what we have. Not sure what to do then... I love your channel. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤❤❤
I'm really getting into dehydrating.. I have a lot of solar, but have a fear the power will be gone. Want to can or dehydrate as much as possible... BTW we hit 120 last july (Phoenix valley)
You are just wonderful! It’s sad you have to constantly explain “yourself”. I am not a RUclips fan but I check both yt and rumble as there a a couple I watch that haven’t switched to rumble. Thank you for ALL you do. I truly hope the ones that poopoo everything doesn’t discourage because you’re amazing!
Thank you for the continued education and encouragement!! Love and Prayers from The Catskill Mountains of NY ❤🐓❄️☀️🙏
Great video! I started being prepared in 3/20...little by little. So I can live a while without going to the store. Great tips!
Thank you
We were blessed with deer thus past fall, and made a breakfast sausage, and an Italian sausage, both turned out well, and is a good alternative to pork. Yours look yummy. Thanks for all you do, please don't let the Karen's discourage you, God bless you.
Thank you Heidi 😊. I love your integrity. God bless you 🙏.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Takes time to become prepared. Enjoy your channel. Marilyn
Thank you for all this information!
Thank you for all you do for us Heidi! You’re a valued presenter and I follow all you say and do! You’ve taught me so much!!!❤❤❤
I enjoy all your videos!
Thanks for putting the Amazon link to your cabinet, glad to easily go look at it, enjoy you day
Thankful you're still on youtube even though they can be jerks. I've not migrated to Rumble yet.
Thank you for all you do! ❤ And your explanation of how things work on this platform. God bless
Heidi thank you for all you & Mr. Rain do to help us learn 🥰
ginger is so easy to grow I brought it in for the winter and it has started to flower😁
I eat pork, but I definitely want to try making this sausage....will come in handy for an extended grid down situation.
Thank you Heidi!
Blessings! 💜
Thanks for all the knowledge you 2 share ❤
Do what you can with what you have!
ps i bought organic ginger at BJs and it was so easy to start
Yes, I have started it before but I do not want to grow it inside. I had a good start going but as soon as I put it out in the spring (this was a couple of years ago) we had a late freeze and even though it was in a very protected area on our deck up against the house, it still died and never came back. I do not have the time and space to keep fussing with things that will not do well outside in our climate
Amen! I don't have a wood stove. I wish I did. But I have fire bowl, barbecue and camp stove. I also can make a rocket stove. I have saved up boxes of? Pine cones! Ha! I have them stored in my unheated garage. I cut walnut trees constantly. So I can go scavenge wood to cook with. I do need a new bottle for propane, which I have not gotten. I have low power Mennonite Electric Fireplaces. IF I can get some batteries going? I could run them in Emergency. I will get some batteries going! Already have panels, cables and regulators or whatever they are called..I also have a brand new, still in the box, convection heater, that uses low watts. I keep kerosene and tealigyts in Stock and barbecue lighters and have lamps. Enough to have one on stairs, one by gas stove, one in bathroom, one for each bedroom. Overall, other than sump pump, water pump and furnace? I am pretty good off.
Each thing I added year by year. None was all in one go! Oh! I have also been making fire starters, gorgeous the last 2 years! I have quite a few made up! I also keep refillable lighters, gas for them and lots of box matches.
As always, enjoy all of your videos. Thank you again!
Thank you Heidi for all the time and work you put into sharing your knowledge and experience! Your videos are always so helpful and easy to understand!
You are still my favorite channel!!!
Oh dear Heidi, you are truly an INSPIRATION to so many and you have a beautiful gift of seeing alternatives to the norm.
Sadly there are people, whose life has been filled with unhappiness, will never see the upside or possibilities that are presented to them. They prefer to remain in the victim mentality.
If I am about to make a purchase from Amazon, but not something that you specifically have links to, but I start from one of your Amazon links, do you also benefit from my purchases? If so, before I make a purchase, I will initiate my search from your channel.
Yes, we do, I do not always think to say that so I appreciate you asking. That is what I really like about how the links work, as long as you go through any amazon affiliate link provided, it does not matter what you add to your cart, we get credit it for any that is added during that shopping session
@@RainCountryHomestead GREAT, I am so happy to know that. I have gone to your site a few times before make purchases in the hopes that you get some revenue from it.
You do so, so much for your views and most people have no understanding of how long it takes to provide and upload the content.
I am deeply grateful to you and am so happy that the links to Amazon will help in a small way. God Bless and keep inspiring the world.
We have a wood stove insert and it has a shelf that gets hot enough to boil water. We have cooked on it many times during a power outage.
Not all inserts have a shelf like that, some do but ours did not
I will always be watching you!
Glad you mentioned your profile. Somehow I see both and I just thought you changed your profile pic periodically. Blessings!!
Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤
Thanks for the discount on my Mother Earth Products order!
It really helps to have a content creator explain how youtube works and what is helpful to you and others I subscribe to. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I can’t eat chicken beef or pork. I never thought to add turkey and deer together
Thank you as always!
Start with any steps and keep buying till you have enough. If you sve a pound or dollar when you have one and all the loose change to it you will get a pile of mooneybto invest and buy other stuff. Five 20 pences are a 1 pound. Jeep saving till you have enough
Heidi, I've learned so much from you. Thank you for all your hard work and willingness to share with us!
I use Azure! Great idea on dehydrated ginger for tea! Also buying nuts from them! I'm going to get the ginger to dehydrate!
Thanks for explaining how things are done.
Thanks for speaking up!
