Who remembers the old saying "Make do and mend".?
I'm what used to be referred to as a jack of all trades, but master of none.
Oftentimes better than a master of one. That's the last bit of the jack of all trades saying that usually gets left out 😎👍
Better than jack of no trade!
Still do make and mend 🌅
Pepperidge Farms remembers
I completely agree and find myself at the end of 65 years very comfortably in the same place - and let us not forget that ''necessity is the mother of invention''!
I'm 60 yrs old and good at everything from car mechanic to welding to brick laying building to planting vegetables and many things as well..
Yep same 60 the likes of us were ready before we needed to be ready.👍
Same I am 37 we are men we were wood work shop electronics age 16 can bricklay we are men
Can I borrow you all 😊
My kids are leaving school this and next year. If it wasn't for myself, they'd have no joinery, metalwork or building experience whatsoever!
He majority of their friends don't even know how to use a tape measure.
Funny thing is, I'm taking them both out of school, out of school time and they've said I'll be fined!😅😅
I asked why would I be fined, their response... they'll lose out on valuable learning! Laugh! I nearly paid my tv licence. I told them just try to fine me, its pathetic what schools aren't learning kids due to, ''injury'' worries.
I've meany skills learnt over 65 years 👍🔥👐
Every child at school should come out with First Aid training; able to cook 3 separate meals; sew buttons onto clothes; balance their finances; change a plug! Far mor use than a mickey mouse degree in ‘media studies’….
We did when we left school. In my case that was in 1956! Don’t they still?😅
@janethalliburton8539 Or the lesser-spotted woodpecker !!!
or a degree in transhumanism and genderism!
I don't disagree but it's also the parents responsibility to make sure their children are proficient in those skills.
You can have all the skills in the world and you can separate yourself from the system and be self sufficient, but the system will always come for you, get rid of the system or the system will get rid of you.
That's what I believe,they'll come after you, every night a small aircraft or drone goes overhead around 3.30am I'm sure they're checking on what private dwellings have growing in their gardens,I have a terrace full of pots with food growing but I know if they want , they can restrict me, I live in Spain... Scary although I try to think of the positive..
You cannot really separate from the system. When the system falls, you will fall with it the same day.
Without civilization, we have nothing. Stoneage.
Use a plastic tunnel, they won't see what's going on in there.
Or when you're in Spain, you better use shade cloth.
There's that little problem of the govt inevitably ordering the slaughter of all cows to save the planet, and moving towards a ban on private ownership of poultry. These policies are being tested in various other ZOG countries around the world
If people stick to their principles
Meaning; saying "No!"
And doing "No!"
They will not have any power at all!
We give them power by complying to their fascist and inhumane laws and rules. And by giving them attention.
So instead, we should give attention and support to the people who resist
And follow their example.
It will work like a chain reaction.
ZOG is the accurate name for what's going on. So few know it and fewer will admit it.
Never butchered an animal but could probably not poison myself. I'm a plumber and have built alot of my furniture. My strawberries have buds on, can't wait to harvest them in a few months. Peace and love all
Same as you pal a plumber of 40 odd years standing picked up many skills over the years and prety close to being self sufficient with my allotment and garden
It's easier than you think. Start by purchasing the larger roasts and separating from bones, cutting inti steaks or smaller roasts, etc. Then start with smaller animals, like chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. Larger ones, like pigs, deer and cows, are a little more overwhelming, but just take your time and you'll get there. Lots of videos teaching as well.
Get away from the cities, go live near farms and your neighbors will be familiar with all these things. I'm a big city person who got into thos lifestyle in het 50's and I'm enjoying it, especially the sense of freedom and independence that it gives me.
I don't like push fit, but have been forced to it in order to remain competitive. I resolutely refuse to start in on press fit. It's just push fit with a copper coat. The lawn's drainage is awful. Constantly raking out moss and reseeding. The last statement was perhaps metaphorical?
If your strawberries get runners on them carefully pin them to the ground and let them take root so you will have more plants. Good luck. I only made one jar of strawberry jam as summer took a long time to arrive here in Victoria.🦘Have had too many zucchini 🥒
Go the plumbers and all tradies!! My husband is a plumber and he and his work mate can do pretty much anything re making things, building things, fixing things. These are the guys we are going to need. Much love to all umber and tradies who can turn their hand at pretty much anything. Hubby is a kiwi so got that whole number 8 wire kiwi ingenuity thing going as well.
It won't happen if we let go of the fear and stop feeding them 😊
That's not milking a cow, that's a machine milking a cow.
Your right 😁
Much prefer hand milking, like I do my goats, what happens when there's no power to milk the cows?!
You tell em Andrew... The 5 finger shuffle club will saves us😏
@@emmarussell7867 Exactly!
Bravo. My thoughts entirely.
God know how 70 million people will be able to cope in this overcrowded island. That is the major injustice and crime that successive Goverments have inflicted on us.
They could not do what they do without the active or passive support of the majority population. It was never sustainable, but majority (including most in the ‘truth/freedom club’ who cannot see, will not see, and pretend it’s all an outrage. lol.
there's loads of space on this island most of the land is held by elites so they can keep it looking pretty, people are coerced to overcrowd the cities instead seeking their space of land thats been stolen by the so called special ones.. governement has never been in control
70 million! That’s the legit ones, there’s estimates that it’s nearer 90 million with all the illegal immigration. And yes, all that blight on our island really will be trouble when SHTF
Its not overcrowded. Its mismanaged
The uk has to import milk you clown. It IS overcrowded.
Our vegetables aren't growing too well at the moment due to the lack of sun. Also, we bought a couple of solar powered battereries a couple of years ago. You can guess the problem there.
I take straight from the lonely 4 panels . If I put the kettle on I’m drawing from the grid . However on brightish days the house ticks over on the panel power. I can’t complain as these were installed via the govt scheme. So thank you everyone ( yes I do pay taxes too!)
The solar power scam . We’ll all be in darkness. But that’s where the satanic lot want us
its too early ,may is the earlist most crops want to be out crops development is governed by temp and day length
Could the bad weather be geoengeneering perhaps?
@@Janexx333 its actually quite a good spring for planting growing its drier than last year , this year the land was dry enough to work and get my spuds in early april as is the norm around here last year i had to wait till may
Doesn't matter what prepping you have done, unless you are prepared to defend what you have. Imagine hoards of starving people looking for food. NEVER let anyone know what you have stashed. A few weeks' supplies is just that, a few weeks worth. After that, you will join the ranks of the starving.
You all know the answer to all this bullish!+,
This is where knowledge and skills far outweigh what we have in our cupboards - no one can steal from you the knowledge how to catch a fish, or grow seeds for example, and you can teach others.
@@dianegriffen2756 great answer
@@dianegriffen2756 they can rob and kill you
@@dianegriffen2756 and as many say they can climb the fence and take the food
Exactly, the first rule of Prep Club is don't talk about Prep Club.
I think it would be more beneficial to learn how to hand-milk a cow, as you would not have these machines on your own hobby/home farm.
Yep...I did that as a child...
Quite right, maybe no electricity. But it depends which balloon goes up, if it is a nuclear one, then you would best need to know how to take your final sleep.
@@gingef5197 The "nuclear one" wont "go up", that's just a threat that's been hanging over our heads for far too many decades inorder to keep up controlled.
@@Jonny_The_Organism, yes I did also. No electricity required, simple and straightforward.
you can buy portable mini versions for small holders that have a couple of cows
A " seniors sanctuary " is a great idea, as a wrinkly I have the determination, the drive, the bloody mindedness to live in a world ( what ever shape it is ) of my / our choosing, not of there demanding, 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That’s not how to milk a cow. It’s how to attach a milking machine and what use will that be if you’re going back to basics?
Exactly, we all tried tugging the teet
at the school farm when I was a lad.
Not gonna work if they pull the plug...unless it runs on a generator 🙄
But , there is hand milking.
Hell ,
I'll suck it out like syphoning gas outta someone's car like I did when I was teenager if that the last resort 😂
Gets some goats
I'm a carpenter, never been without work, fortunately. When 30ish I had a go at the corporate game, by way of contract management. I absolutely hated it. Stuck at it for 18 months. Went back on the tools, never looked back.
Although I haven’t built a table, I’m well practised at putting a bottom on a chair.
😂Lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Good enough, your in.
Farming is hard work, you also have to feed them in winter.
Happy you enjoyed large dairy milking. Might want to learn how to hand milk😉
That brought back memories having been born on a Dairy farm and had 17 years of very happy times
Mum and dad had a dairy farm down in Suffolk when I was about 7, I used to drive the little dumper truck through the cow shed as dad shoveled the cow muck from the floor into the little truck, I loved it, summer time I would run through the fields with just my vest and knickers on chasing the cows, Oh my God what I would do for that simple time back again.
@@TOMETOYOU65 yes helped with the mucking out to and love harvest time helping with the hay and the silage also feeding the calves and making dens in the hay bales with my sister and cousins all in all best days of my life, I’ll buy a farm one day 🙏🏻 😊
Fortunately, I'm very practical.
I liked it when Richard to the cow 😅 'thanks very much' brilliant 😊
same here . but first when the cow walked off like very cool she had done her job bye
👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯me too ✋ 👍 💯 ❤
Surely it would be better to learn to milk by hand as we dont know whether we will have electrictricity. To not rely on anything but your self is the key.
quite bc from the talk he said doing things by hand .
In the book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, all those people who were inventors or heads of companies who were also experts in their fields and who made things crucial to mankind, decided to move to a remote area and therefore (as a protest) en masse, remove their expertise from the dystopian world created by bureaucrats and controlling government. The government gave in, in the end ! Who is John Galt ?
Gallows Builder ready to get busy here
best constructive comment on here im with you
I thought we'd use lamp posts?
Robespeire my dear chap
Even atage 65 I will manage. We grew up with an "interesting" characteristic. Enquiring minds....and LOGIC...and GOYA....which is an abbreviation for "GET OF YOUR ARSE!" All ingredients in desperate short supply these days. The problem will not be folks that will and want to do it...the problem will be the masses of "braindead".....that will come "knocking" at your door. And not..."for Tea."
The dinghy guys 🙏😢👹
@@wecandothiswarriors You can expect your "friendly" neighbours down the road also. Hunger and desperation has never been 'selective.'
We've been milked to the last drop. That balloon is about to go up any day now.
Keep positive, it's got to come down, but it'll be us that will rebuild.
I have enough knowledge to keep my family safely Fed.
Milking suites you Richard 😊
Horrible to see the cows chained up! What happened to milking by hand, sitting on a low stool, feeling some empathy for the beast.
I USED TO MILK, GOATS THAT WAY!!!
@@user-qd8md4tq1q what way? By hand or ?
Do you think there would be milk for everyone if the cows were milked by hand😂😂😂😂
@@nadiasmith2650 The country has run out of milk maids anyway, and too many cows.
Guess you're eating highly processed dog poop
Great wee clip there showing the practicalities of getting something as basic as milk to our fridges. I note with admiration the calmness of not just Richard and Julia - but also the cows themselves
We are set, have cattle, sheep, generators, fuel, mountain of firewood, and I'm an engineer and multi skilled, bring it on.
Unfortunately, they will !
Do you have lots of hand tools? Hand drills, saws, screwdrivers, etc. Most people use electric tools nowadays, but they'll be useless if the power goes down. This is not a criticism its an honest question.
@@albundy643 We're quickly heading in that direction, the met office tries to keep the windmills turning, but!!!
We need INTELLIGENT politicians running the show, but that's not likely to happen.
@@albundy643yes I was only thinking the same thing and a petrol generator!
@janerowena4023 A generator is a good idea for a while, but it still needs fuel which might not be available after a while. Better invest in some hand tools, and learn how to use them
I be ok I had a good upbringing my older brother still got my Granddad's 3 legged milking stool . I have also done the automated Milk systems,, have revolving ones near my . I have actually done the groundwork for the newer parlors ❤❤ brilliant episode Richard and Julia we need our own little community's helping each other. I'm a brilliant gardener also.
I'm about to learn about my tractor! We send our ducks to freezer camp. We did send our ducks for processing but I felt it was too stressful for the birds - it was mortifying for me and so we do it ourselves now. It is not easy, but the birds are kept as calm as we can. We still don't like it, but the moment you get complacent, you lose your humanity. I feel we must honour and thank them. Plus duck burgers are so delicious! Our ducks are extremely lean - hardly any fat due to the species - muscovy. Again not for some people - they have claws that inflict serious deep cuts unless you have protective clothing - even ducklings! Ask me how I know! LOL!
I don't know about the others but I'm good. Very good - everything is logical to me. The only thing is I can't say the same for the others. I grew up living the best of both worlds. Took as many days of school as I needed 🤷🏿♂️
I’d love a garden big enough to grow my own veggies and keep a couple of chooks …. But I’ll have to make do with carrots etc in tubs on my ‘patio’. 😢
Maybe grow vertically 😊🙏
Yep... Cheap, 5 layer tower for £40-ish, with a cover, which will prolong your season. You can grow salad leaves in trays and/or micro greens which are nutritionally dense.
Plus, you could try sprouting in jars on the kitchen windowsill. As an idea, 1 tbsp of radish seeds will fill a 1 litre jar in 5 days.
Growing up in rural Africa by necessity has equipped most of us lads with diverse skills necessary for survival.
A great error is assuming there will be electricity. Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.
Totally agree, you need a generator. Plus a mini coal stove to cook on. Water buts, collecting water, and a veg patch. Dig up the flowers and put in veg.
You could even 'interplant' by adding veg to the flowerbed.
Richard, I live on the edge of Swindon, you should have called in to see me:) As for farming it's not as easy as it seems. I worked on a farm until 2012 it was a beef farm with around 65 Aberdeen angus cattle and 1 bull. Before the farm went over to beef it was a dairy farm. It is hard work looking after animals, repairing fences maintaining the land, helping the vet and then there is the paperwork, animal tags and the govt agencies to please, then the tax man and you'll be lucky if you will ever get another day off.
I can remember the old farmer telling me about how the local constable would have to come on a yearly basis to check his books and various animal related papers, then there was foot and mouth, then there was TB testing etc etc all stress and more stress!
Farming is hard work and the money isn't great either and you like me have a body that is 60 plus years old. Going into farming won't give the escape that many hope for, that escape perhaps can only happen in our heads!
just recently neil mc coy said in a video that if anyone buys just 1 chicken it has to be registered or else can be a 5k fine and or 6 m in jail . same could apply when ever to other animals kept on a property .
The supermarkets are the biggest money donor to labour and cons. No surprise they want us buying their eggs.
If things get that bad your going to have to learn to milk by hand, that machinery wont be working
Unless you re instate a steam engine to power the machinery. Just need a dynamo to convert the flywheel power to electricity.
@@bentullett6068 won't be an option for everyone
@vinnylee878 true. Will have to re watch victorian farm TV series.
Hi Richard, Im one that can fix most things in the manual dept. from cars to wood & much other, its the harder craft stuff i do and always will, But my spelling can be a bit poop sometimes, I get by tho. we can all be good at something if we try a bit harder, but we dont, cos we had it way way to easy to avoid it, we forgot our way, I wont ever change, I just do more to keep life intresting for the challinges & an open mind for everything that i see possible, Most things are if we try! Great vidio mr vobes of the cows milking
I've always been practical and can lend my had to pretty much anything. Recently I've been learning more bush craft as it's something that interests me anyway. Lighting fires, knots, tents, sustenance, water filtraton etc, but also making sure i have the means to prepare and cook food. I would happily take the time to show anyone else what I know and hopefully learn from others too. It will only take a bad news headline to cause a rush on the shops like it did during the plandemic so practical things like having a 2-3 week stash of essentials doesn't hurt. We're stronger together 🙂
Should have done it by hand,, even if they allow you to have some land of your own, which they won't. Even if they alliw you to own a cow, which they won't. They are certainly not allowing you the fuel to run a dairy
Thank god i was born on a farm, from milking cows by hand, to planting our food by hand and horse, and then went on to getting tractors and machinery, to fix every thing you had to teach your self, and after leaving school on to serving my time on buildings sites, and then becoming a builder my self. Under the circumstances now all of it are needed, past on to my own children, and now to my grandchildren.
Ok if you can escape to the country, not much farmland and cows in inner cities where the majority of us live! All we can is stock up on tins and dried food and hope for the best.
If you ask 100 people if they would like to live in a city or a village. None would say "city". Ask how this happened.
I have about 4 to 6 months supplies of food and necessaries loo rolls toiletries etc, I also have powdered milk if I cannot get on line to buy any, I also have 2 camping gas cookers and lots of gas canisters, pots and pans to use on them, I have also bought 2 camping lights and large pillar candles if needed. I am physically challenged so cannot grow my own. Don't bother filling your freezer if the grid goes down it could be down for some time and generators are not an option for everyone. Buy tins, packets and bottles, there stored everywhere in my bungalow, even in the drawers under the bed.
I have done all I can do and it will see me through round about 6 months if I stretch it, after that what will be, will be, I refuse to worry about it. I am a pensioner and not in good health, if my time comes I will be glad to leave the planet. Oh, one more thing, please do not forget abought your pets, don't forget to stock up for them too, if you have house cats as I do, you will need to have lots of cat litter stocked up, my shed is now full of the stuff and cat food galore.
Just a tip although I'm sure you know this. Use your stores as your "supermarket" and replenish your "supermarket" to make sure food is as fresh as possible. Those bb dates come round pretty quickly!
This is the best advice and definitely rotate your stock.
Yes, thanks to you both for mentioning this, Yes, I am doing this, but forgot to mention, I'v been stocking up now for 4 years, when I need something I take from my stock and then put back from my next food delivery.
@@TOMETOYOU65 I have been stocking up also for a good few years too. Just would mention, I have been eating dried pasta that is 2 years past best before date and it's fine. Also out of date tins are fine too. Just use common sense really. Good luck.
@@lesleydrew1629 Yes I believe so, I have heard of people eating it years after they have bought it, also rice will keep for years too, can't have enough rice and pasta stocked up, their both good stapples and fill you up, I have plenty of bottled pasta sauce and some bottled Tieka Masala to go with the rice. Good luck to you also, it's great for us to be able to pass our ideas around, I've bought books and knitting wool and patterns to keep me amused in the long dark nights if the grid goes down.
All hands on deck ! I used to love the smell of the Dairy during milking, hard work, early starts late finishes but good being useful. What was harder work was milking the house Cow by hand. Remember...hands up.
It's not just knowing how to be self sufficient, having the means and resources, it's being able to protect it when marauding gangs want to take it from you.
like from gardens and fields i keep hearing . so whats the point planting .
I'm pretty good at all of them - but, then again, I'm over 60. God alone knows how the youngsters would get on!
A darn sight better than you, talkings not going to get the work done when you go off grid. You took a wood delivery and got a chill last winter.😂
Thanks Richard for the pragmatic approach to actual solutions. We already have all the answers.
You certainly have the right idea and yes there is quite a learning curve.
At 71 I have focussed myself upom total self sufficiency...
Not relying on anyone else at all...
I MUST HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING 40/50 YEARS AGO!
AS A VEGAN I DO NOT CONSUME ANY MEAT PRODUCTS AT ALL...❤
And you’re still alive ….
Vegans die early of malnutrition, before omnivores, and well before whole food vegetarians who live the longest.
Glad i lived with Dad and we had a farm in my teens. I learned to hunt , fish, feed the animals, butcher the Beef , work in cars , dirbikes, etc .
We are men we will be alright
Before we turn into women..
That ain't milking , that's automation
Im 62 have an extensive tool and equipment collection, can do most things construction, electrics, plumbing etc, not bad with cars, up to speed with computers and gadgets, am learning growing and foraging... my next step will be welding
I tried milking a one uddered cow once. It wasn't very successful as I only got half a pint of odd looking cream, but the cow seemed happy to get rid of it and I'm sure it was smiling a bit. 😳
When the SHTF you won't have an electric milking machine. Learn to milk by hand.
Thank you, Richard. Once again, you lead us on a steady path.
Well done both for learning about milking 👍🏻 we all need to start learning skills
I am very capable & some. Extremely hands on being a multitrade builder for the past 40+ years. I cant watch TV though 👍🏻
Better prepare yourselves as good as you can. With knowledge, practical know-how, offgrid things from the old days.
And a way to defend yourself. It's going to be like the dark ages for a while, for sure.
That's also the only thing I worry about.
I'm practically educated on many sides, technical, mechanical, elderly care, designing, built my own house, greensector, botanist.
May I call myself factota, for being a handy woman?
And I've seen this time coming. Long before people even considered this a possibility. That was probably the reason to gather as much information and skills as possible.
Thanks for reading. Much love and strenght to all. Stay positive and most important: do not fear!
Totally agree with you. Don't fear, trust God, we're going to all get through this. What we see now is coming down. Once you accept that, your half way there.
I'm sure we will win.
And not those who think they are God themselves.
Thank you for your reply and stay strong.
you milk cows using your hands, into a a bucket while sitting on a stool.
electric is needed for industrial milking
I can do most things myself.. can cook a meal out of nothing, fix my own cars, grow my own food, raise and butcher my own birds.
As an engineer, a lot of my skill set rarely gets used for functional, personal use. Engineering has become spreadsheets and hypothetical thinking. I'd relish the day I use logical thinking for survival.
And thank you Daisy. ❤❤❤
I grow&forage food as much a possible to live a healthy lifestyle. I do canning to preserve my food, Dehydrating and have a storage for rotating through my produce . I do believe this is an important life skill to have, most of all I know what's in my food. I do buy some produce that I can't grow from my local farm shop. Cooking food off grid is a good skill to have too, collecting filtered rain water if needed and off grid portable power bank with solar. I also have been visiting my local farm and find it educational, weather I agree with certain things or not it's good to know. The reason I say this is I don't eat meat but that's my choice. 😊✌️
Thank you, Richard.
True, just a 'simple' thing like cutting glass. Have you ever tried to do that? Yet we take these skills for granted.
The sky is falling….. Have we ever heard that before?
I'm starting to feel like a factory hen crammed together with my fellow man, fighting my way everytime I leave the house.
I am not , never was , many are in there thoughts I think are just going to go under .
This has been a very hard year for farmers lambing and it's made me feel quit low .
I've watch homesteaders , it's not as easy as they make it out to be .
So we keep on keeping on .
Yep, us oldies may be quite useful in that respect. Especially those of us that have worked the land, have lots of practical husbandry knowledge, can sew, bake, cook etc. cheese making, butter, as you say, milking by hand, growing veg and have been used to working with nature. There are still a few healthy ones of us left 😂
Absolutely .. x
HOW MANY PROPERTIES, HAVE ROOM FOR A COW????!!!!!!!
Yeah...a cow in every flat of multi-storey skyscrapers...

Don't forget friends, other people. That's what you need to keep around you.
I can:
- milk a cow
- make butter
- make cheese
- smoke and cure meats
- pickle vegetables
- butcher slaughtered animals
- cook (from breads to gourmet dishes)
Above all, I am a good teacher and can teach everything that I can learn for myself.
Crazy times, people! IMHO, now is the time to be ready to deal with what's coming and survive it as comfortably as possible because I don't believe what's coming can be prevented anymore.
Be well and stay safe! 🤞💖
loving the skills !
@@egeegee7146 Yeah! And I crochet and knit as well. Always ready and excited to learn something new. Starting homesteading in my 50's, after being a yuppie all my life, means that my lifestyle has become my hobbie. Every little victory is savored! 💖
Well done Richard.
I am a pensioner and the only place l can have my pension paid into is a bank.....How's that for control
Ive spent most of my life learning how to be self sufficient, using tools that dont require electricity. How to make things by hand, grow things. Build things, fix etc.
Huh?? That isn't how you milk a cow!!
Beautifully said.
We definitely need to rebuild our communities to help and support each other and share skills
Started back in 2015. All hand tools if needed. Being a tradesman is going to help big time.
I would never think of Swindon when wanting to milk a cow, and i grew up there, ha !
Sadly not for everyone due to age, health or financial situation, or all three even!. 😐
Don't know what world he's living in sometimes.
I'm 54 and a engineer with a large adaptive skills dairy work ,slaughter house, horticulture,and the list goes on but I only have paperwork for engineering
When we get together the kids will learn everything they need ..
People need to learn how to forage as there is an abundance of free edible plants and fungi out there. Learning to milk cows is wonderful but it needs to be learned manually no point in learning with machines if you have no pennies for the meter.
I can do all of that no problem. Crap at hunting and really really don't like killing things but have a huge allotment and a fully stocked workshop Dont have silver but can start a fire with 2 bits of wood !
I can cook, i can knit and crochet and sew and embroider and i have just got into gardening albeit on a terrace but willing to learn or teach everything at the ripe age of 57
It's the youngest that's gonna have a problem, most can't tie their own shoe laces.
Yeah, like most of us on here, I own a dairy farm, milking machines and £50k stuffed in all my pillows, so I'll be ok.
Oh and I have a balloon, which I'll be in when it goes up! 🤡
We can/dehydrate, grow food, make soap, learning basic woodwork ( putting a Polly tunnel up ) sewing, weaving, knitting, wine making from fruit, very busy and loving it. Just need a bit of land and like minded people
Wine making from fruit. maybe think about extending your wine making to include neutral spirit, the uses and benefits of doing this are enormous.
One of the benefit's is Vodka.
Bet your honeymoon was a laugh 😂
Haven't drank milk for 6 months😅😮
They signed our sovereignty away for us! Thankyou!
Not what I was expecting as regards milking cows. When I was a girl, we did that by hand. I have always been grateful that my mother provided me with a very isolated, self reliant childhood, encouraging analytical thinking and home tuition - understanding freedom, its cost and its meaning -but now I find that gratitude has expanded beyond recognition. I cannot comfortably do heights, but anything else, if I have to and as I have done many times, I can find a way to achieve what I want in everything I regard as necessary by myself. More to the point, I have not the slightest problem with giving of it away to others because the actual gift in such situations is really Time, and when that was made by God or whatever one cares to conjure up, He/She/It made plenty of it and each individual should use their share of it wisely.
Thank you
I have milked a cow by hand (quite some time ago), can gut and fillet fish, can pluck and prepare chicken (so probably most birds), have assisted in preparing rabbit. Large animals I might attempt with a varying level of adequacy.
ive just planted just over 1/2 acre of various potatoes the rest wont go out till may and frosts have finished
I grew up in the city. Moved to the country, everyday I practice something I never did growing up. Old dog new tricks
Trained butcher and chef, i can make alcohol and do basic things such as working with wood, sewing, knitting etc with my hands so think i maybe ok!
