Episode 493: Turkey Shelter Lessons Learned with The Tactical Redneck Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Today we had a question on our telegram group about turkey shelter. I laughed to myself because we never planned to have turkeys this year, but ended up with 26 to help a friend who had life events come up and get in the way of being able to keep up on food and water! So today, Tactical and I will share what we have learned about turkeys having adopted 26 with no infrastructure in place beforehand!

Operation Independence

Considering adding sheep to the Holler Homestead - will keep everyone updated.

Main topic of the Show: Living Off Your Homestead Last night I was up most of the night because Coyotes were too close for comfort. Every time they caught something in the woods, they would put up a cheer. My dogs would lose their minds barking in response. Why was I disturbed by this? Well, we have a bunch of turkeys outside that we are raising for a friend and that are sleeping out in the open and they electro netting stopped working. It would take nothing for a Coyote to just push through that and eat all the turkey they want. I have already sold most of these turkeys and would have to refund the money, and would then lose that because it is already spent on turkey feed and infrastructure. That got me to thinking - we always talk about being prepared for the things most likely to happen such as:

Short term supply shortages
Tornado related problems
Ice storms
Loss of income
Illness

But what would happen if any of these things went on longer. Throughout the history of the US, at least every 100 years, we have ad something last longer than a season and cause difficulties in resupply. Civil war - turkeys example What would it look like if I ended up living off this homestead and existing relationships for five years?

Animal Feed And Animal Care
Imports: Distilled liquor, medicine, Asian and European imports, Seasonal eating, clothing and so forth, cleaning supplies, salt
Entertainment
Trade and Community (B 2 L update)
Repurposing
Keeping the land, energy, resupplying clothing and other odd items

Why would I even think this way? Make it a great week! Song: Wolf By Sauce GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce. Community

Episode 487: New Lessons Learned About Fencing Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

Today, I will run through some things I never knew about fencing that I learned this weekend as friends Autofab and the Tactical Redneck were stretching fence for Jenni.

Last week, Jack Spirko interviewed me on The Survival Podcast. Here is a link.

Main topic of the Show: New Lessons Learned From Fencing

BG of fencing over the past year or so

Lessons

It is a better two person project, (Turkey netting story)
Logging = "Stretching fence" (BC Story) - related, proper stretching tools are helpful
Electric fence is great, until it isn't (The water story)
Ongoing maintenance never ends unless you find an animal to do it for you (Pig story)
Fencing will be tested most if you do not manage your rotation well enough (Animals, hills, etc)

All in all, it has been pretty eventful here with the fencing, the animals and the transition to increased food production off my small, 3 acre plot of hilly land with just the right amount of southern exposure.

Make it a great week!
