Damn, I was already in the middle of the video when I noticed this isn't a million+ subs channel. Such a high quality video! Interesting text, crisp images, stunning views, instructive tutorial... I trully hope you are proud! You got yourself a sub in me. I'm positive you you will breach 100k in one or two years, maybe even sooner. If you find the time for it, you should chop some sections of this video to make some shorts and tik toks to bring some people here. A patreon and/or yt supporter could be a good idea too. Damn, I`m still impressed by the quality. Hugs from Brazil!
Oh my gosh thank you so much, I am absolutely blown away by your kind words. 😭❤️ you’re going to keep me motivated for months to come. Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
How my dad would have loved information like this! But 40 years ago there was no youtube - so after getting some hides off to a professional tanner, until we had enough to make my mum a rabbit-fur-coat, all the hides from our meat rabbits got wasted. We could not even find somebody who would buy them at a reasonable price back then. It is great to see you explain everything so clearly.
noticed you had a little trouble with where to cut audio after a take. A trick i use is when i want to redo a line, right after a mistake or what have you, i am quiet for a second then clap twice then continue recording. The claps show up as two distinct spikes on the waveform in the editing software so you know to remove the bit just before those spikes
I’m binge watching your videos, you’re awesome. My wife and I have a lot in common with you and so it’s good to see what another Homestead family is doing
I just found your channel and am so impressed. I love the depth of information and no-gimmick style. I've recently gotten back into raising rabbits and your videos are giving me lots of inspiration and useful information. Thanks for keeping it real!
I could listen to this yammering story for days!! Sincere, positive, and full of skills and experience... The personal experience and commentary is very useful, especially for someone without useful math skills. Just an amazing run-down of not just skills... But, facts I never would have known or found!!
My grandparents used to take Sudan grass,sorgum, Field pea seed, cast it over a small chunk of the backyard,cut every 2 or 3 weeks,bale and store one third for winter, and use the rest to feed the rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkey and geese. High in protein and natural sugars.
@@countrysister700 any small variety works just fine. They are all nitrogen fixtures. I've used Black eyed peas, and basically anything that is small and cheap. Wild field pea is normally used and sold for foder,for wildlife, deer, elk etc.
You're amazing. Thank you. Love this! Don't think you said "what you're going to want to do" once...drives me crazy. The chook one is excellent. Such exceptionally well researched. Sorry to hear AI has stolen your job. How stooopid we humans are. No longer live on a farm but think about setting up rabbits and chooks on my 1/4 acre block. You have really inspired me. I have always wanted to tan wild rabbit skins, they are a pest here. Never heard of the brain technique. Thanks again!!!!!
Your property sounds amazing except for the north facing… but I have grow lights in my house to help me get along with the shorter days for the long winters in Idaho
Such a helpful video, thank you! Also YES! I was also a professional writer and finding work during lockdown and then now with the rise of AI has been a whole new challenge!!!! Really a bit sad, but these are the times we’re in I guess.
Thank you so much, and oof, yes writing is so brutal now. Lockdown was bad, AI seemed worse 😅 I hope that “organic” writing becomes more in demand because I genuinely love writing, but we’ll see. 🫶🏻❤️
Great info! I am so glad I found your channel. You have the best homestead content on U Tube. I look forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing.😊
Good job. Learning a lot. Thanks for the breakdown. Im learning all that I can about raising meat rabbits and like your choice of breed. We might start within the next two years. Still trying to convince hubby. Where do you store all the hay & alfalfa?
I have a feeling you and I have a lot in common 😂 Great videos for a newbie. Your patter is a bit rushed. Try being more conversational. Otherwise, you have compelling subject matter, good framing, and a good hook with your geek-tastic math.
Hola , tendrías que tener un fulón chico y una cuchilla de curtidor porque eso te facilitaría mucho el trabajo......saludos desde Argentina y muy buen video...............
7 days is usually recommended before the first scraping but I’ve found that 5 is nice because you can take off the easy stuff, wait 2 days, and then the hard stuff is now easy. Most people who wait the full 7 days just do it all at once with no coming back a second time, they just kinda scrape the tough stuff off with a knife in one session. I say try both and see which is best for you. I have heard that as long as your pelts are fully submerged and your brine is correct, you can leave the pelts in as long as you want with no damage. With that said, I have not gone further than 7 days so I am not as confident in that statement lol.
Fun fact New Zealand can be colored! You can get white and for sure they're the most developed. But we've got Red (the OG New Zealand), Blue, Black, and broken! I personally breed blue, black, and broken. Blues are the newest color. We're working really hard and finally seeing blues take Best of Breed on arba tables!
@CedarHillsHomestead Red NZ came first! Belgian Hare were actually the number one breed used to create them. Unfortunately, the reds are VERY few and far between now 😞. When the fur trade was booming, whites were more sought after for their easily dyed pelts.
Are you in the USA? Just saw you used a drone for a shot; make sure you have a drone pilot license. Pretty a sure a monetized channel would be considered commercial use. 😉
REGISTRATION!!! TOTALLY WORTHLESS IF YOUR NOT TRYING TO SELL "REGISTERED " LIVESTOCK TO OTHER BUYERS!! IM 65 YEARS OLD, AND I HAVE A DEGREE IN AGRICULTURE. IM AN OLD HILLBILLY SO I LIVED THE "HOMESTEADING LIFE" ALL MY LIFE!! REGISTRATION COSTS MONEY. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!
