  1. I laughed when you said "quite honestly, ducks are kinda nasty." Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us who are trying to live the off-grid life! You rock.

  2. Selling eggs to a normal bakery of low-quality ingredients at the same price as low-quality ordinary eggs seems unwise; ecological eggs are so much more valuable than farm-factoried ones. I wonder what they are fed with, don't seem to be grazing hens.About washing, can't you make a cleaner laying-place?
    You talk of "we", does that mean you have a man? I googled for homesteading of a lone woman. Annoying and time-wasting being led to a supported woman not at all alone. That is why I don't listen to it all. The wrong frame. Seems to be good info otherwise.

  3. Hi There,
    I'm watching this from the Temperate West Coast of Ireland! Your ideas are great – and have helped me to focus on what to grow and how many chickens and ducks to have. I presume your family is vegetarian? Last year my polycarbonate tunnel blew 500m up the road in a storm – I salvaged what I could and have just closed it in – this time, cemented into the ground and tied to an old stone shed for security. It is an amazing sense of achievement reusing anything I could – permaculture is definitely the may to go for me. Thanks for your broadcasts!

  4. I needed this video! My husband and I want to homestead, but it always seems so daunting and expensive. This really helped us realize it is doable!

  5. Wow, this is the only video I saved it onto my laptop and refer it multiple times in coming years when I buy a piece of land in this year. I am 42 now and gathering as much knowledge as I can on homesteading. I already live frugal life that's helping me save enough money to buy about 3 acres land with cash. Please , let me know if there's any unrestricted one to three acres land around South East Texas, South West Louisiana, South West Alabama. Thank you and obviously I subscribed.
