	HOMESTEADING AND PIONEER SKILLS PART 1, SURVIVAL, HOMESTEAD, SURVIVALIST, PEAK OIL, BACK TO THE LAND, END OF OIL Posted by: SurvivalReport Duration: 9:06 Number of views: 37,779 Part One of a new series showcasing some Homesteading and Pioneer living skills. We recently attended a public festival demonstrating some of these "old school" skills. In this video we toured the festival and talked with some of the folks demonstrating these skills. With some of these people we had to kind of "lead" them into talking about the skills via asking obvious questions, etc. Some were really helpful and interested in talking about the skills, a few were downright rude. As your watching this, consider the amount of TIME involved with certain tasks- like putting up a year supply of firewood. In this first video we show them using a crosscut saw and a Bucksaw. It would take you probably weeks to put up a year supply of firewood with these methods. Now it's important to know these skills and even have of these old school tools and implements, but don't throw away your chainsaws! Matter of fact, you should take a hard look at your chainsaws and resulting logistics train (spare parts, extra bar, extra chains, files, preserved fuel, fuel mix, bar/chain oil, etc.) after watching this once you realize that you could put up as much wood in probably a DAY that it would take a WEEK or more to put up with hand tools! I'm all for learning these skills and we practice a lot of these skills regularly, but I also think it's important to stockpile a pile of cheap soap (Ivory 16 bars $3.). Make soap by yourself from scratch- not from a kit- one time and you'll want to go out and ...

	WHAT URBAN HOMESTEADING LOOKS LIKE (PART 1) Posted by: RealWomenRealAdvice Duration: 2:25 Number of views: 5,108 You don't have to retreat to a cabin in the forest to grow your own tomatoes and raise chickens, you can do it anywhere. People are growing cucumbers on windowsills in a Los Angeles and harvesting honey on the rooftops of New York City. A new way of participating in the food/life cycle is blushing on the horizon. We are living in the dawn of the ecotarian. People want to get back (don't make me say it) to their roots (gotcha!). A relatively new movement, urban homesteading takes "simple living" to the next level (sorry Martha) through incorporating small-scale agriculture, sustainable and permaculture gardening, and home food production and storage into every day life. By growing their own food and harnessing natural energy, city dwellers are reconnecting with their land while planting seeds for the future for our cities. Over the past 4 years Michelle has transformed her tiny cement jungle of a patio into an urban homestead complete with compost piles, laundry lines, and edible produce. Pretty impressive for a girl who couldn't keep a spider plant alive a mere four years ago.

	RABBIT RAISING PART 1 HOMESTEADING, SURVIVAL, SURVIVALIST, PEAK OIL, LONG TERM FOOD STORAGE Posted by: SurvivalReport Duration: 8:53 Number of views: 24,747 Don't know what youtube has changed in the uploading process but this is the SIXTH try in uploading this video. Been at it for nearly a full DAY...... Part 1 of our new series on raising rabbits looks at equipment needed for rabbit raising as well as helpful hints in getting started. This series has been in the works for six months as we have tried to capture video of kits at various ages and stages of growth. This new series is about raising rabbits for MEAT, ie, to EAT. Be forewarned that we will discuss rabbit raising in that format and later videos will show some butchering - with a warning before it actually comes up. So for the PETA crowd, men of the other gender and the "we won't eat anything with eyes" crowd, you'll probably want to skip these videos. www.survivalreport.net www.homesteadingandsurvival.com Be sure to visit and support our sponsor- www.jrhenterprises.com 17 years in the preparedness and survival business.

They are also much more healthy then store bought soup, with out the additives. Follow the same basic steps to can chicken soup. Do not add rice or pasta to your soups when canning. The long canning times turn them to mush and it's not recommended as a safe practice. Instead add it when you are heating the soup to eat. Enjoy!

	BUILIDING YOUR "HOMESTEADING PREPPER" LIBRARY VIDEOS SERIES INTRODUCTION Posted by: Michigansnowpony Duration: 2:21 Number of views: 929 I've been trying to do a series like this FOREVER and just couldn't make it work . . . . until I tried this format. I can read much better than I can talk off the cuff. : ) I think having good reference materials in written or book form is very important for the homesteader / preppers out there. Even in rural libraries, there isn't usually a very good section beyond gardening for folks interested in self-sufficiency. In this video, I share those volumes I've come to depend on in my own homesteading journey towards self-reliance (not there yet by a long shot) and think worthy of being promoted. These videos take me quite a while to produce, so I probably won't be loading more than one topic a week. Please be patient and II hope you find this series helpful.
