Native American (Navajo) Sacred Plants… Corn Beans Squash and… 

I mean if you had a choice I'd move to like Kansas or somewhere with more fertile soil.

@@MEAT_CANNON I am a craftsman of fertile soil. In fact, I don't consider myself a farmer of plants, but rather, a farmer of microbes and worms and compost. It takes a great deal of effort, sure, but it's well worth the effort. Not to mention, I wouldn't trade my home in the mountains for an endless windy plane. Gotta be out of your mind. 😉

@@GemstonePhilosophy It's that the soil here is bad and the soil over there is good mentality that exemplifies the European mindset.

@@blackrasputin3356 lol. Point taken. I guess I'm a little bit more like the folks in Dubai in the sense of making my own land.

Can you recommend any good literature ?

Teachings are better when not lost through lack of practicing . Thank you I enjoy the teachings.🧡

I did the three sisters this year. Such a mess. A darn bloody mess in the garden. Probably won’t do it again.

It's become too convenient to live. No working person feels they have time to produce for themselves outside their paycheck. That is a problem, when people only have time to make rich corporate magnates richer while we suffer without the knowledge of self reliance. I am in my late 20's, and choose to grow food instead of working for a paycheck to buy food, and although I am roughing it and struggle to do it on my own, I have never felt a greater sense of accomplishment as I feel when I eat a big stir fry of home grown vegetables. As for preservation, it has become more and more difficult to find mentors who know the art of canning, dehydrating, pickling, and so on. I have learned very little from my family or friends, but RU-vid has been very helpful. There are a few elders or those with experience who are trying to teach anyone who will listen, but the problem is, very few in my generation care about these things, in part because they weren't taught the importance of growing and preserving food. This isn't an issue of generational difference, but a difference in culture and values than previous generations. That's what happens when we raise a society on capitalist values with no interest in community health, wellbeing, and sufficiency.

@@GemstonePhilosophy very well said. And, congratulations on taking a road less traveled.

I feel your desire will make the time you will need to become a child of the soil and ĺife once more🥰🤗🌱

I agree... Easy times can weaken people. I remember my parents having to glean potatoes with the land owners permission. We were vacationing on a shoestring budget. Because my parents gleaned potatoes and foraged on the shoreline, my father was able to use the last bit of money to buy three movie tickets for 'Star Wars' Return of the Jedi 😊 it was a massive surprise for my brother and I... The first time I'd ever been to a movie theatre. It was a magical memory that I cherish to this day. To this day, if my father finds himself on a beach, he can't resist the temptation of collecting shellfish, if he finds a good batch 😂😂😂 I truly believe there is a new wave of people trying to connect with their natural state. The internet has caused many problems, but has also allowed people to connect and share knowledge, bypassing the paid 'Talking Heads' that hold back knowledge. I truly appreciate your comments.

An if you plan it and find a way to have it year round by drying it.

Plant in the beginning of the year and by the end you'll have your yields. I've never plant myself yet, but I'm interested in learning.

Why do people always imply the younger generations are so lost? Maybe because their parents were lost and disconnected, and their parents before them. My generation seems to have far more interest in restoring natural order than any of my elders. I spend the majority of my time in the outdoors with no shoes working in my garden and restoring native pasture and forest in my local area. I am constantly knocked down by my parents who think I'm wasting my time. I don't believe my elders take in to consideration how lost they are when they make statements about "the younger generations". I'm not trying to be abrasive: I just believe the stereotype is moot.

@@GemstonePhilosophy It's all about how we were growing up compared to younger kids. As years pass by, fewer and fewer young people spend their time playing out in the nature all day, eating from trees and understanding the laws of nature as they are, without any human intervention. I do not doubt there are exceptions, and younger people who are mindful enough to understand and respect the natural world. And you are right, it may be stereotypical, maybe it depends on the country/region or people's mentality, I am just pointing out what I am seeing everyday.

@@yaz519 I understand where you are coming from, but I have one question: do you see their elders outside much these days?

@@GemstonePhilosophy You are right, children's behaviour resembles that of their parents'.

@@yaz519 I don't mean to undermine your point. I wish more of the youth felt at liberty to be a part of nature. I do believe it has much to do with the direction of guidance from our elders. The youngest generations are being raised entirely by institutional education and RU-vid (and they are most likely not watching this channel). I don't mean to put it all on my elders either. This is a an issue which spans multiple generations, but has more to do with culture (or the lack thereof) than age.

My understanding is that if tribes were not able to trade amongst one another for salt they would use cranberry sauce as a preservative hence why you saw it introduced to Thanksgiving meals.

@@searchforthetruth1998 yes sir that really makes sense to bad the things that they learned have been lost thanksgiving was for what they learned about everyone having there own place and each one using their own skills and not being jammed up in a tiny commun hoping the next guy is going to do the dishes.😎
