So You Want To Homestead...Now What? · Life TV now

0:17
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to Life TV Now, where we
0:20
Speaker 1: unpack all matters of truth, faith and freedom. I'm Joe
0:23
Speaker 1: artists Horn. Today is a continuum of an incredible conversation
0:27
Speaker 1: that we started last week about living off grid and
0:31
Speaker 1: the pursuit of course of self sustainability. Let me introduce
0:34
Speaker 1: who's here, My best friend and beautiful wife, Catherine Horn.
0:44
Speaker 1: And she's lived the homesteading lifestyle for over four decades,
0:48
Speaker 1: long before it became a movement, building a life of
0:51
Speaker 1: self reliance through raising livestock, growing food, and practical skills.
0:56
Speaker 1: She's also dedicated herself to education and mentorship equip the
1:00
Speaker 1: next generation with skills that truly matter today. She's the
1:03
Speaker 1: founder of the Ozarks Homesteading Expo and Ladies Homesteading Camp.
1:08
Speaker 1: Please welcome Cheryl Franklin. Ladies and gentlemen. If you missed
1:19
Speaker 1: last week's program, go right now to wherever it is
1:22
Speaker 1: that you archive and rewatch programs of Life TV Now,
1:25
Speaker 1: whether that's Rumble or YouTube. But we're joined again today
1:29
Speaker 1: by Cheryl Franklin. And we were talking about this last week,
1:33
Speaker 1: this whole proposition, the idea of getting back to what
1:38
Speaker 1: really ought to be our roots in terms of self sustainability,
1:42
Speaker 1: growing our own food, living off grid should the grid
1:44
Speaker 1: go down, and not being reliant on the very rapidly
1:48
Speaker 1: depleting during an emergency grocery store. That whole construct is
1:53
Speaker 1: going We saw this in twenty twenty. Ladies and gentlemen.
1:56
Speaker 1: If toilet paper in twenty twenty is going to be
1:59
Speaker 1: out nationwide, imagine if we experience an emp or an
2:03
Speaker 1: emergency disaster that no one sees coming, and with the
2:07
Speaker 1: way that the world is positioned right now, that could
2:09
Speaker 1: happen literally at any moment. As we're taking for granted
2:12
Speaker 1: each day that we have the grocery stores, imagine if
2:14
Speaker 1: toilet paper is out nationwide, what food is going to do?
2:18
Speaker 2: Exactly?
2:19
Speaker 1: I'm telling you people are going to be holding people
2:21
Speaker 1: up a gunpoint and stealing bags of cereal. This is
2:24
Speaker 1: not me doom speaking. This is me telling you we
2:26
Speaker 1: are dealing with a Western civilization in particular that has
2:30
Speaker 1: no comprehension of how to take care of oneself. If
2:33
Speaker 1: our Babylonian construct isn't there to make sure that we
2:36
Speaker 1: have all of our needs met. So this, Lady Cheryl Franklin,
2:40
Speaker 1: is one that my family has learned under now for
2:42
Speaker 1: the last over a year. They've been to many of
2:44
Speaker 1: your conferences, many of your camping events. My oldest daughter,
2:48
Speaker 1: Kate Taylor, who's in the crowd today, learned under you
2:52
Speaker 1: last year and said, Dad, you gotta get Cheryl. She's
2:55
Speaker 1: the real deal. She didn't just write a book but
2:57
Speaker 1: then live in the city. She's living the life. She
2:59
Speaker 1: knows what it is to jar and can and of course,
3:02
Speaker 1: show of hands, how many of you remember your grandmother
3:06
Speaker 1: or your grandfather. He's out back, he's got a water hose,
3:09
Speaker 1: he's watering his garden. There's no such thing as organic
3:13
Speaker 1: food labels, because it's just food as grown per the
3:17
Speaker 1: way God would have had us grow food. They weren't
3:20
Speaker 1: using herbicides and growth hormones and pesticides and artificial dyes.
3:24
Speaker 1: They're just growing food. And then what they're doing with
3:26
Speaker 1: it after the fact is they're putting it in things
3:29
Speaker 1: like jars, because they knew that they might need food.
3:32
Speaker 1: We're talking about in the dust bowl, the winter. Our
3:36
Speaker 1: great grandparents came out of the dust bowl, the Great Depression,
3:41
Speaker 1: and so they kept absolutely everything, you know, jars of
3:44
Speaker 1: old nails, like the most random stuff you know, buildings
3:48
Speaker 1: filled with stuff because you just didn't know, you didn't
3:51
Speaker 1: And now we've got you know people, Oh my word,
3:53
Speaker 1: to me, it's a sin before the Lord. When I
3:55
Speaker 1: walk past some of these restaurants and literally eighty percent
3:58
Speaker 1: of the plates have twenty to thirty percent of the
4:02
Speaker 1: food going in the trash, and it's like, I'm not kidding.
4:05
Speaker 1: I do a prayer and I say, Father, this is
4:07
Speaker 1: a crime. This is a crime. We are so gluttonous,
4:10
Speaker 1: we're taking for granted, we're so wasteful. I believe we
4:15
Speaker 1: could be set for a great sobering. And I feel
4:18
Speaker 1: like there are people out there not ready, most people
4:22
Speaker 1: not ready at all. So let's just start at the beginning, Cheryl,
4:27
Speaker 1: somebody watching this program, you know, the idea of homesteading
4:30
Speaker 1: or growing their own food. It can feel like a
4:32
Speaker 1: big life change, and it's I think one of the
4:35
Speaker 1: things that stifles people from even getting started. Do you agree?
4:39
Speaker 2: I do?
4:39
Speaker 3: And partly because there's so much information out there, What
4:43
Speaker 3: do I do?
4:44
Speaker 2: How do I do it right?
4:45
Speaker 3: Do they want to do all the thing like it
4:48
Speaker 3: was and at once? And I understand the reasoning there,
4:52
Speaker 3: because if you get an idea that something could happened tomorrow. Yeah,
4:57
Speaker 3: you kind of want to learn how to do all
4:58
Speaker 3: the things at once, and that's kind of why can
5:00
Speaker 3: go to some of our events and kind of learn
5:01
Speaker 3: a lot of things. But you can't always crash course
5:04
Speaker 3: and things. So learn how to do some things well. Yeah,
5:09
Speaker 3: you know, and you know canning is the biggest thing.
5:12
Speaker 1: Would's priority.
5:14
Speaker 2: Start canning? Start? Want start in one place and do
5:17
Speaker 2: it well.
5:17
Speaker 3: Learn how to make bread, I mean bread is a
5:20
Speaker 3: lot of people don't eat bread now for whatever reason.
5:22
Speaker 3: But you know, if you're in a in a crisis situation,
5:25
Speaker 3: you're gonna eat bread. And so learn how to make
5:27
Speaker 3: bread and learn how to can the harvest that you have. Now,
5:31
Speaker 3: if you can't start a garden, you know, start shopping
5:35
Speaker 3: your farmer's markets or get talk to a neighbor.
5:39
Speaker 2: Do you not much food? Some people throw away because
5:41
Speaker 2: they have time to can it yet.
5:44
Speaker 4: And they don't.
5:49
Speaker 1: Help people that are growing, but they just couldn't use
5:51
Speaker 1: all their zucchini and they're gonna toss that are feed
5:53
Speaker 1: in the chickens.
5:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, make community or make friends with people who have gardens.
5:57
Speaker 3: And there's so many now there's farmers markets popping up everywhere,
6:01
Speaker 3: So you just go.
6:01
Speaker 2: There to meet people and to make community.
6:04
Speaker 3: And honestly, you know, to your to your talk about
6:08
Speaker 3: if a crisis happens and the wheels fall off again,
6:11
Speaker 3: or something happens to you know, an attack or a
6:15
Speaker 3: natural disaster, even you know, which.
6:17
Speaker 2: Is very real. It is very real in many parts
6:20
Speaker 2: of the country.
6:21
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure where any of us are prepared
6:24
Speaker 3: for that, really, because it's going to be way worse
6:29
Speaker 3: than what people could ever dream or imagine. But you know,
6:33
Speaker 3: for smaller crises, you know, you can make sure you
6:38
Speaker 3: have more than what grocery stores or what you most
6:42
Speaker 3: people have in the refrigerator three days in the refrigerator.
6:45
Speaker 3: Make sure you have a stash of you know, a
6:48
Speaker 3: larger what they used to call it, of food for
6:52
Speaker 3: your for yourself and your family.
6:54
Speaker 2: Should something, you know, something happened all of a sudden.
6:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you said something towards the very end of
7:01
Speaker 1: last week's program, And I'll just very quickly recap because
7:03
Speaker 1: this was so profound to me, because this doesn't care
7:05
Speaker 1: if you live in Manhattan, this doesn't care if you
7:07
Speaker 1: live in the rural or the suburbs or the country.
7:10
Speaker 1: It doesn't care where you live. But if you can't
7:12
Speaker 1: start this year growing your own food, if that's just
7:15
Speaker 1: too much, you can start buying nutritious food, like you said,
7:18
Speaker 1: from people that are bringing it to places like farmers'
7:21
Speaker 1: markets or your local health food stores at all. They're
7:24
Speaker 1: so pick aggregate. H yeah, you pick places, but then
7:28
Speaker 1: you take that food home and you learn how to
7:31
Speaker 1: preserve it.
7:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that you could maybe have some of those
7:35
Speaker 1: fruits and vegetables for a year out or longer if
7:38
Speaker 1: you do it right.
7:38
Speaker 3: And people say it's expensive, but if you buy it
7:40
Speaker 3: in bulk, you're going to get things cheaper. You buy
7:42
Speaker 3: a bushel of something, you're going to get it cheaper
7:44
Speaker 3: than your if you're going to buy five tomatoes.
7:47
Speaker 4: Right well, and a lot of people too are scared
7:50
Speaker 4: about canning and things like that. But we went to
7:54
Speaker 4: your actual homestead Ladies camp, which was phenomenal. If any
7:58
Speaker 4: of you ladies out there a chance to go, it's amazing.
8:01
Speaker 4: And she had people from literally all over the country
8:04
Speaker 4: that came to the Homesteadying Ladies Camp. It was amazing.
8:08
Speaker 1: Let's put the website up on the screen right now.
8:10
Speaker 1: If you want to go and learn hands on let's
8:12
Speaker 1: put it up on the screen.
8:13
Speaker 4: It was amazing, and it really was that next step
8:17
Speaker 4: kind of a thing where you go and they show
8:20
Speaker 4: you step by step. Okay, this is why you don't
8:22
Speaker 4: have to be afraid of pressure canning. Here's what you
8:25
Speaker 4: need for a water bath and here's and the resources
8:29
Speaker 4: you guys provided was incredible and Kate I was able
8:32
Speaker 4: to go with Kate to that and we learned so
8:35
Speaker 4: much and we ended up actually canning some of her
8:38
Speaker 4: cucumbers from last year and we made relish and some
8:41
Speaker 4: bread and butter pickles and stuff like that. So it
8:44
Speaker 4: kind of took the fear of like, Okay, I don't
8:48
Speaker 4: know how to pressure.
8:48
Speaker 2: Can any hitting me.
8:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, we canned meet there too, so that was really fun,
8:53
Speaker 4: but just you know, taking that fear out of it
8:55
Speaker 4: because so many people are scared of that. So that
8:58
Speaker 4: step of just doing doing it and following people and
9:02
Speaker 4: even the videos that you guys shared from the speakers
9:04
Speaker 4: that came in to teach us how to do it,
9:06
Speaker 4: they those were incredible too. So I would just suggest
9:09
Speaker 4: though too, for people. If you have the opportunity to
9:12
Speaker 4: do that, do it. But if you don't, there are
9:15
Speaker 4: so many people.
9:16
Speaker 3: Get a mentor. Yes, yeah, so many mentors in the community.
9:19
Speaker 3: We do a monthly Ladies' home setting camp and we
9:22
Speaker 3: have thirty to sixty people come every single month and
9:25
Speaker 3: we do a different topic every month, you know, so
9:28
Speaker 3: find you know people in your community that are doing
9:31
Speaker 3: those kinds of things. And because you know what, you
9:34
Speaker 3: don't have to know how to do it, all right,
9:36
Speaker 3: you know, there's other people. You could be pay one
9:38
Speaker 3: thing and then somebody else can be doing good another thing,
9:40
Speaker 3: and you get together and you share that because well.
9:44
Speaker 4: And that's the bartering system too to a degree. So
9:47
Speaker 4: I'm good at making the bread, and then you're good
9:49
Speaker 4: at making cheese, and then we can swap the bread
9:51
Speaker 4: and the cheese and all of that.
9:53
Speaker 3: And that's a great thing for especially urban people as well,
9:56
Speaker 3: you know, finding somebody that also is like mine and
10:00
Speaker 3: you can share skills or share products things like that,
10:04
Speaker 3: you know, and the same thing, you know, during twenty twenty,
10:06
Speaker 3: the meat processing plants all went down because they needed
10:11
Speaker 3: to conform. If you had lambs or cattle or pigs
10:17
Speaker 3: you know, that you were trying to raise, you couldn't
10:20
Speaker 3: get them processed, You couldn't take them to the thing.
10:23
Speaker 3: So that's another thing where a lot of people set
10:26
Speaker 3: out to learn how to.
10:27
Speaker 2: Do that themselves.
10:28
Speaker 3: You know, we've been doing that ourselves for years, but
10:31
Speaker 3: you know, surprising how. And that's another thing we do
10:34
Speaker 3: at the expo is teach people how to do that.
10:37
Speaker 3: But it's easy and way less expensive to do it
10:42
Speaker 3: yourself as well. And again it's not for everybody. That's
10:45
Speaker 3: why you get community together, you know, you just need
10:48
Speaker 3: to find your people, yeah, and get community together. Because
10:53
Speaker 3: one person may like, you know, not mind doing this
10:56
Speaker 3: assembly line. You know, this portion of the process. Somebody
11:00
Speaker 3: else might you know, you know, many many hands make
11:04
Speaker 3: light work too.
11:04
Speaker 1: So yes, and this is not this is not a
11:06
Speaker 1: plug for a specific you know, online social media platform.
11:10
Speaker 1: But I will just say if I may, you know, Facebook,
11:14
Speaker 1: This is not an endorsement of Facebook or the people
11:16
Speaker 1: running it, but I will say that there's a lot
11:17
Speaker 1: of community, you know, marketplaces and groups now on platforms
11:21
Speaker 1: like that. You might be surprised regardless of where you live.
11:24
Speaker 1: If you haven't thought of that, go in and just
11:27
Speaker 1: type in, Hey, I'm looking for a you know, I'm
11:29
Speaker 1: a part of a fish tank club, or I'm a
11:31
Speaker 1: part of a whatever club. You probably see that there
11:33
Speaker 1: are farmers' markets and people growing food and having community
11:37
Speaker 1: events where they're teaching some of this stuff. I don't
11:40
Speaker 1: know if there's a de facto Cheryl in your view,
11:42
Speaker 1: a de facto starting place, like your best advice for
11:46
Speaker 1: that guy that's on the fence who maybe feels drawn
11:48
Speaker 1: toward it, but he's just overwhelmed. Even now during this program,
11:51
Speaker 1: still thinking, yeah, but man, I don't have land. I
11:53
Speaker 1: just don't know what is some really good advice that
11:57
Speaker 1: you would give that guy.
11:59
Speaker 3: Well, do your homework, you know there is you know,
12:02
Speaker 3: like what I said when I started, there was a book.
12:05
Speaker 2: I had a book, one book.
12:07
Speaker 3: And there are so many places where you can get mentorship.
12:12
Speaker 3: We love love to promote community and you know, find
12:16
Speaker 3: a real life mentor face to face person that you
12:19
Speaker 3: can do hands on things.
12:20
Speaker 2: But but you know, aside from that, there is no.
12:23
Speaker 3: Excuse to not be able to learn how to do
12:27
Speaker 3: those things like making your own bread. They start with
12:30
Speaker 3: one thing, get good at it, and then go to
12:32
Speaker 3: the next thing. You know, that way you're not overwhelmed.
12:36
Speaker 3: You know you can't do all the things, and nobody
12:38
Speaker 3: can do all the things well exactly.
12:40
Speaker 2: So you just learn how.
12:42
Speaker 3: To do you know, one thing, and again, find your tribe.
12:46
Speaker 3: They are everywhere. They used to not be, but they
12:49
Speaker 3: are everywhere. Now people are everywhere, and I'm so encouraged
12:52
Speaker 3: that there's people in every community that want to learn
12:56
Speaker 3: how to go to the farmer's market and say, who
12:58
Speaker 3: do I talk to that knows that does this stuff
13:02
Speaker 3: or who's having it's about that extension to actually extension,
13:05
Speaker 3: you know has been doing a lot of and now
13:09
Speaker 3: that you know every like we're in Missouri, you know
13:12
Speaker 3: a Missouri University of Missouri Extension. Every every state has
13:16
Speaker 3: a an extension office which is part of the land
13:19
Speaker 3: grant universities. So you can find every county has an
13:24
Speaker 3: extension office where you can.
13:25
Speaker 2: Get a lot of information as well.
13:28
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's just no lack of you know, information
13:32
Speaker 3: out there anymore. And just see what you like, and
13:36
Speaker 3: you know, start start somewhere. Just don't get paralyzed by it.
13:40
Speaker 3: Start somewhere. Just take the one step, make a loaf
13:44
Speaker 3: of bread. And once you do the one thing, you
13:47
Speaker 3: have so much confidence that you'll you'll want to.
13:50
Speaker 1: Do more people whatever it is like, start winning, feel
13:56
Speaker 1: like you're winning. Do a baby step, and that becomes
13:58
Speaker 1: way more infection than guilt or the fear of something else.
14:03
Speaker 1: And I often think that's kind of like our walk
14:05
Speaker 1: with the Lord. Yeah, you know, if you're trying to
14:07
Speaker 1: escape flames, if it's coming from a place of fear
14:11
Speaker 1: of outcomes, and so, okay, I got I got to
14:13
Speaker 1: deal with this Jesus character in order to avoid this outcome.
14:17
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty mortifying. I always feel like that is
14:19
Speaker 1: not a sustainable motivator, right. Diets are not sustainable for
14:24
Speaker 1: most people long term because of the guilt of maybe
14:27
Speaker 1: gaining weight again, Like you have to feel better about things,
14:31
Speaker 1: you have to fall so in love with Jesus that
14:33
Speaker 1: you don't want the world anymore. Those are when you
14:36
Speaker 1: start feeling like you've got momentum. Does that make sense?
14:39
Speaker 1: Other life is always going to feel good. But I
14:41
Speaker 1: just I agree with you, take a baby step, be
14:44
Speaker 1: proud of it. Go tell your friends I did a jarring,
14:47
Speaker 1: I jarred a thing what I did.
14:51
Speaker 5: But you know, yeah, I'm.
14:54
Speaker 1: Smarter than Joe Horn and caring that thing.
15:00
Speaker 2: Well to that too.
15:02
Speaker 3: You know, we always talk about in our in our
15:04
Speaker 3: in our community about how you know, we're just borrowing
15:08
Speaker 3: all this from God.
15:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you.
15:10
Speaker 3: Borrow something from somebody, you don't give it back, you
15:12
Speaker 3: don't ruin it and trash it and then give it
15:14
Speaker 3: back to them.
15:15
Speaker 2: You know, I give it back to them, you know.
15:18
Speaker 3: At least in the shape they gave it to you,
15:19
Speaker 3: but hopefully better shape than.
15:21
Speaker 2: They left it to you. And that, you know, that's
15:22
Speaker 2: the same concept.
15:24
Speaker 4: Well, we were always taught too, that you never send
15:27
Speaker 4: something back empty empty. You always feel it back something else. Yeah,
15:32
Speaker 4: it doesn't have to be the same thing.
15:34
Speaker 1: But I'm so proud of the ladies in our family too,
15:37
Speaker 1: because Catherine and Kate, my daughter, they have started We
15:42
Speaker 1: have a pantry at home. There is meat in there,
15:44
Speaker 1: there's food in there. There's things that they have canned,
15:48
Speaker 1: not John Jar, but of course they've allowed me to
15:51
Speaker 1: continue saying the word jar. But anyway, well, ladies and gentlemen,
15:56
Speaker 1: before we continue, I want to tell you about something
15:58
Speaker 1: that I personally use and I absolutely love it, and
16:01
Speaker 1: I think that you're going to love it too. I'm

17:08
Speaker 1: Do you think that most people out there may be
17:11
Speaker 1: watching this program or the people that you meet at
17:12
Speaker 1: these conferences and camping events. Do you think that there
17:15
Speaker 1: are those that kind of start off super motivated and
17:18
Speaker 1: then they kind of start to realize this is kind
17:21
Speaker 1: of gravitus. They start to see a picture unfolding that
17:25
Speaker 1: the time constraints, the demand, the actual having to get
17:28
Speaker 1: up and deal with the full picture of living off
17:31
Speaker 1: grid and living that out as opposed to just daydreaming it.
17:34
Speaker 1: It's a real commitment. What would you say to that person?
17:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, and kind of like we talked before about starting
17:43
Speaker 3: and getting mastering one thing at a time and not
17:46
Speaker 3: trying to do all the things. You know, I'm on
17:48
Speaker 3: a lot of groups and things. We talked about community groups,
17:53
Speaker 3: and you see all these things like oh my goodness,
17:56
Speaker 3: this died and that died, and the garden died because
18:00
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm pretty much because I don't
18:02
Speaker 3: know what I'm doing, you know, And they go there
18:03
Speaker 3: for support and that's great, but you know, that's part
18:07
Speaker 3: of the problem, trying to do a thing that there's
18:08
Speaker 3: a lot of work for no results. So people people
18:13
Speaker 3: get overwhelmed by not doing their homework, just like anything
18:17
Speaker 3: they get, you know, with garden, that's one thing. But
18:21
Speaker 3: then you've done all that work and you don't have
18:23
Speaker 3: the food, and you don't have the you know, the
18:26
Speaker 3: bounty tole and or pests, you know, and things like that.
18:32
Speaker 2: So again, doing.
18:34
Speaker 3: Your homework with that making your Preparing your soil is
18:37
Speaker 3: the very first thing, you know.
18:39
Speaker 2: And we're in the ozars here, so.
18:42
Speaker 3: Everybody has their has their challenges wherever they're at, but
18:46
Speaker 3: here it's rocks and play soils and things like that.
18:50
Speaker 3: So you know, preparing your soil right and learning that
18:53
Speaker 3: and you know, we could do a whole program on soil,
18:56
Speaker 3: or ten programs on soil.
18:57
Speaker 2: But the animals is what, you know. I hate to
18:59
Speaker 2: see when people just.
19:00
Speaker 3: So, I'm gonna get a goats, so I'm gonna get goats,
19:02
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get cattle, and I'm gonna get a dairy cow,
19:05
Speaker 3: and you know we have to which you have to
19:08
Speaker 3: milk twice a day, and there are a lot of
19:11
Speaker 3: factors and that you know, the animals suffer if you
19:14
Speaker 3: don't know what you're darting, you know, especially dairy animals.
19:18
Speaker 2: I think, yes, if people don't know what they're.
19:20
Speaker 3: Doing, and then you and then they say, oh my goodness,
19:23
Speaker 3: we can't go on vacation because we have to milk
19:26
Speaker 3: our cow twice a day and you can't always know
19:28
Speaker 3: somebody who knows how to make you know, we had
19:30
Speaker 3: dairy goats for forty years and you know we don't
19:33
Speaker 3: trust people too. My husband and I didn't go on
19:35
Speaker 3: vacation together for ever because one of us had to
19:39
Speaker 3: be there because we don't trust people. We did bring
19:41
Speaker 3: people into help sometimes and it wasn't always good. So
19:45
Speaker 3: starting small and especially with the animals, knowing what they're doing.
19:50
Speaker 2: A lot of.
19:50
Speaker 3: People have moved to our area in the in since
19:53
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, especially or to rule areas. More people have
19:56
Speaker 3: moved to rural areas. I mean that's huge, not just
20:00
Speaker 3: here but all over the country. And knowing how to
20:05
Speaker 3: maintain property or what they're getting into, you know, property,
20:09
Speaker 3: there's challenges and you know with with wildlife, and there's
20:15
Speaker 3: challenges with or some people come in and chop down
20:19
Speaker 3: all the trees, cut down all the trees and I
20:21
Speaker 3: go like, don't do that, and you know, and clear
20:26
Speaker 3: cut things, and.
20:27
Speaker 2: There's just you know, just do it.
20:29
Speaker 3: People need to do their homework, is what, and not
20:32
Speaker 3: get impulsive about things, you know. I mean, it's easy
20:36
Speaker 3: to go into the bead store and hear the little
20:39
Speaker 3: chicks peep in and go.
20:40
Speaker 2: I had no.
20:43
Speaker 3: Idea when I came to the store that I was
20:45
Speaker 3: going to go home with twenty seven baby chicks. But
20:47
Speaker 3: now I do, and I don't have anywhere to put
20:49
Speaker 3: them right, you know, and you know the kids are
20:53
Speaker 3: malling them or whatever, you know, but mostly do your homework,
20:56
Speaker 3: and you know because and I applaud people who just
21:00
Speaker 3: get excited about it, and I want people to get
21:02
Speaker 3: excited about it, but I also want people to be
21:05
Speaker 3: success smart.
21:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, set them I'm setting them up for disaster. Well,
21:10
Speaker 1: there's two things I want to ask at the same time.
21:13
Speaker 1: Not everybody watching this program. We've talked a lot about,
21:15
Speaker 1: you know, if you're out there and you live in
21:16
Speaker 1: an apartment and you've never done anything with this, or
21:18
Speaker 1: you have no resources, no land. We've tried to, you know,
21:21
Speaker 1: keep that point of entry very low, do your research,
21:23
Speaker 1: maybe buy some foods, learn to cane. I learned a word.
21:30
Speaker 1: But we do have followers and viewers that have money.
21:33
Speaker 1: They absolutely could buy land. And by the way, over
21:36
Speaker 1: the last decade, I've seen at least six of now
21:38
Speaker 1: my very good friends move specifically to the Ozarks, very
21:43
Speaker 1: near to where I live. And they came with no
21:45
Speaker 1: expectations of even meeting me, but they said, God just
21:48
Speaker 1: put us in the Midwest. Have you heard this? Oh yeah,
21:52
Speaker 1: it's like over and over again. Our good friends, the Umbriacos, like,
21:55
Speaker 1: we've heard this over and over again. We were living
21:57
Speaker 1: in the city. We're doing fine, there's no and whatsoever
22:00
Speaker 1: to move to humid, tick infested Missouri, but we felt
22:04
Speaker 1: like God want us to move there. So, if you're
22:06
Speaker 1: watching this program, and it doesn't have to be Missouri
22:08
Speaker 1: or the Midwest, do you have a recommendation or a
22:11
Speaker 1: caution about the kinds of land that somebody might be
22:14
Speaker 1: considering if they're out there right now, praying through maybe
22:17
Speaker 1: moving states or well.
22:19
Speaker 3: Fight I find that they want to live out buy
22:23
Speaker 3: some property that they haven't done the research on the area,
22:26
Speaker 3: and they don't realize it's twenty seven miles to the
22:30
Speaker 3: store to get whatever for whatever, or every time you
22:35
Speaker 3: need something. And for some people that's just I mean,
22:39
Speaker 3: or thirty or fifty miles or whatever, you know. And
22:41
Speaker 3: so some people that's just too much, you know, they're
22:45
Speaker 3: just like or that they need to make a living
22:48
Speaker 3: and now they have to drive an hour and a
22:49
Speaker 3: half to get to work in the hills in the winter,
22:53
Speaker 3: in the ice, you know, or in the area that floods.
22:57
Speaker 3: We have three ways out of our property, and we
22:59
Speaker 3: can't get out of if it floods. So you know,
23:01
Speaker 3: you have to decide you're going to stay out are
23:03
Speaker 3: you going to get stuck in? So you know, just
23:06
Speaker 3: all there's a lot of factors to take into consideration
23:09
Speaker 3: if you're going to move there. And some people and
23:12
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of people try it for a
23:15
Speaker 3: little bit since just since twenty twenty and said this
23:18
Speaker 3: isn't for me.
23:18
Speaker 2: It's just too far from town. I can't do it.
23:22
Speaker 1: Are there things you know, like you said, you know
23:24
Speaker 1: people chopping the trees down? Are there things agriculturally you
23:27
Speaker 1: know where the water tables.
23:29
Speaker 2: Flooding and just yeah, areas.
23:31
Speaker 3: It's Ozark's with plural Ozark's Homesteading dot Com. There you
23:35
Speaker 3: can learn about the ozarks Homesteading Expo that's coming up
23:38
Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend in Marshfield, Missouri, where we'll have thousands
23:42
Speaker 3: of people just like you, all your thousands of your
23:44
Speaker 3: best friends, well my best friends will be there and
23:48
Speaker 3: wonderful speakers. There's forty different sessions, everything from you know,
23:52
Speaker 3: bread and solar and salado and off grid and cheesemaking
23:55
Speaker 3: and livestock and everything you probably ever need to know
24:00
Speaker 3: that you need to connect with not that you're going
24:02
Speaker 3: to be an expert, but you're gonna get.
24:05
Speaker 4: Starting point learning.
24:07
Speaker 2: And you're going to get so inspired and motivated after
24:10
Speaker 2: going to that.
24:11
Speaker 1: My oldest daughter, you know, she worked very hard a
24:14
Speaker 1: couple of years ago on her very first garden, and
24:17
Speaker 1: it looked robust, it was going to be beautiful, and
24:19
Speaker 1: then a bunch of it. Now you can correct me
24:21
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. She's live here. I'm gonna I'm gonna
24:23
Speaker 1: feel her eyes if I get not. Really, she's the
24:26
Speaker 1: sweetest person ever. But a bunch of it died or
24:29
Speaker 1: it came in really small, and it was just kind
24:31
Speaker 1: of weird. And she had some decent tomatoes, but then
24:34
Speaker 1: the corn had issues and there was some kind of
24:36
Speaker 1: a beetle that was eating things. And they're not using
24:39
Speaker 1: pesticides in chemistry. They're just they're using dietamatous earth and
24:43
Speaker 1: trying to do this naturally and anyway.
24:45
Speaker 5: But the point is I felt bad for her. I said,
24:48
Speaker 5: maybe you worked so hard. You worked so hard, and
24:51
Speaker 5: I was hoping there'd be this big giant spread at
24:53
Speaker 5: the end, and there was like a little au three.
24:56
Speaker 5: It was a little tithing and she wasn't crushed about
24:59
Speaker 5: this at all. She said, No, I figured I might
25:00
Speaker 5: blow some things this year. But last year, after a year,
25:05
Speaker 5: just one season of learning what didn't work last year,
25:09
Speaker 5: it was like a veteran gardener just in one year. Again,
25:13
Speaker 5: some of this food still exists in our cans.
25:16
Speaker 2: No, in our jars.
25:17
Speaker 4: Oh oh, now I can say.
25:19
Speaker 2: Now, I can say.
25:22
Speaker 1: Jars in a jar. I concede, and God gave men
25:34
Speaker 1: women because they're smarter than we are. Live tv Now
