Transcript – Homesteading Skills
Welcome back to Farm Life and Freedom where we are cultivating a free life.
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to farm life and freedom podcast. I’m your host, Amy Bell.
Today, we are going to be talking about various homesteading skills that anyone who’s considering this lifestyle choice, or even potentially, you know, maybe even traipsing into it a little bit. These are some skills that. Um, It would be a great idea to start looking into, maybe you already have these skills. Maybe you have some of them and might want to consider looking into some of the others.
Now, this is not by any means , an exhaustive list of all the homesteading skills that you might need. But this is a list of. A few really important ones, ones that now you don’t have to have all of these, just be aware. And we’ll talk about that, but these are some skills, some of these you’re going to want to have, if you’re looking into going into this lifestyle.
There’s great information right now. Out there everywhere. Currently. You can, you can get a lot of this information online, searching the internet, searching Pinterest. There’s a lot of really great blogs that you can link to. Going on Pinterest, looking for things like this various skills.
In the lifestyle of homesteading. There’s also some really great resources at a library. And near if you’re not really an internet person, you want to go to the library and see it in print, which. Yeah. I’m one of those I’ve got, I’ve got books everywhere. I mean,, we had to build a whole new building.
Just to be able to shove my books somewhere. There’s a lot of great information. Kind of everywhere. One of the best places to get some of this information, if you have access to someone, an older person, who’s say been doing this for a long time. I know when I was growing up, a lot of the things that I know today is because I learned with my Mimi my great grandmother, and she was just awesome.
She was old from the time I was born, but. I always thought she was so awesome. She knew so many things that she could do just about anything. I practically worshiped her. But, , over the generations, a lot of these skills are kind of falling by the wayside. And, um, I know that I’m kind of a. I’m kind of a Laura Ingles. type person. I kind of live in the past a little bit. I prefer the, the old style. Of living. And, this is just something that I’ve always truly loved. I’ve truly enjoyed learning more about these various techniques. And I enjoy doing them even the really hard ones, even the ones that are lots of hard work.
I really enjoy doing them. So, but we’re going to talk about some of these and we’re going to start it off today.
With the obvious and that’s gardening, because if you’re going to be living a homesteading lifestyle, you’re going to want to be able to provide your own food. At least. I would say some of it, but honestly, most of it, you really need to be able to provide most of your food and you can get a whole bunch of it.
Just by being able to garden. And in gardening, obviously growing your own food, but also, there are other skills there. That you want to think about at that looking into. Learning seed saving seed savings are really, really important thing because it can save you a lot of money in the future.
You can make sure that you’re getting. Healthy seeds. You know, , if you buy heirloom seeds to begin with you use heirloom seeds to grow your plants, then you can save those seeds and grow. Additionals in the future. So that’s something too that you might want to just jot down if you haven’t looked into it before, just look into it. Another something that is pretty important. A skill to be sure is soil building, because you can’t just dig a hole in the dirt and throw a seed in and expect it to be healthy.
You know, you might get lucky, I guess, but not for very long, not if you don’t learn about building your soil up. And that truly is a skill. It’s knowledge. It’s just based on knowledge learning what to test for learning, what to add when your test shows that you’re deficient in something.
And it’s a really good thing, because if you can keep your soil healthy. Then you can grow good plants and feed your family. Uh, composting, composting is a terrific skill to have because basically you’re, you’re growing dirt, you’re building dirt and it’s the best kind of dirt ever. You got the healthiest stuff at all, and you can build it right there on your place. And whether it be in a compost pile or a compost bin or whatever, there’s so many options. Composting is a really great skill to have I wrote about that in my book becoming self-sufficient and I’ve also got.
Now, all of this, this whole list, a bunch of these that are on here, I have got articles that I’ve written. On TwoOaksFarmTalk.Com and some eye on, ALifeOnTheFarm.com. So, if you would like to look into those as some of those are on there and giving a lot more detail. Some have video and some are just written.
Okay. Vermiculture vermiculture is, basically it’s another way of growing really fast compost. Okay. It’s the whole worm farming thing, and something gets very, very cool. In my opinion, you can use worms to. Um, eat up your refuse and what comes out is just this awesome, magical stuff to put on your, on your garden, put on your plants. You can make a compost tea out of the.
The stuff from, from your vermiculture BN, and it is just phenomenal and very healthy for your plants. Okay. So there’s also, uh, one of the things that you want to do when you’re thinking about gardening is, learning about drying and using herbs. If you’re growing vegetables, Then you should consider companion planting. And , I did a post an episode about this recently on this podcast, you can look back at that talks a lot about that. And then also on TwoOaksFarmTalk.com. I’ve got, I believe I’ve got multiple different posts, concerning companion planting.
But when you are companion, planting, herbs are a great go-to in a lot of those areas. So being able to. , grow your own herbs is wonderful, but then also being able to use them, in the right way. Uh, collecting your camomile blossoms or your calendula. echinacea, harvesting the whole plan at root and all.
Um, and then learning. How to, take care of them once you harvest them. And then also learning what to use them for, how they can benefit you. If you spend some time looking into that. There are so many areas of homesteading and of your life that will open up because there’s so much great use for them.
Okay, so now we’re going to talk about, , livestock husbandry. When you are homesteading, unless you’re a vegetarian or a vegan. Then growing your own food also means raising your own food. So whether it be. Growing small livestock chickens for eggs and meat.
Um, rabbits for meat. I mean, of course, all the various fowls you know, Turkey, ducks, and geese, and what have you. They can really fill up a freezer , if you handle it right. But then there’s also there’s cattle or sheep. There’s goats. There’s so many different. Choices, depending on what your time availability is, what your.
Pasture, you know, is if you have a lot of pasture and you can put some cows out there, or if you just got a little bit and you can put a few goats or sheep, you know, you can look into. What would work best for your situation and, you know, learning about how you can benefit yourself. I’ve always said that the best use of land is allowing the land to work for you. And, and that’s what I, I love to do. So if I’ve got a few acres that aren’t doing anything, then I’m going to find something that they can do to help .
My family. Okay. So if you’re going to be raising animals, then you’re going to want to look into things like pasture management. Because you don’t just throw some animals on the grass and be done with it. You want to make sure that you’re doing it in the right way? Making sure that you make good use of the space that you have and rotate them around. So you aren’t depleting what’s there. And, making sure. If your animals are going to be eating your grass and you’re spraying it with poison, then. You eat the animal, then you’re going to be at least getting a by-product of that. So if you look into pasture management and what you can do in a natural way to take care of that and let the animals help you take care of that, then , your family will be a lot better off in the long run.
And also if you’re going to be raising animals, veterinary skills are something that you might want to look into learning. There are veterinarians out there, but when it’s a small thing, things that you can handle it home. It’s a great idea to have on hand. No useful information and useful supplies that can allow you to, kind of jump in there and handle some of it yourself.
Aye. Funny story. Um, sad and awful and little funny story. We had, a couple of calves. Last year. That, we were trying, they were sickly and we were trying to help them make it through. And we had this one. That we, she was so sweet and we really enjoyed her and she was doing really good. And then all of a sudden,
, I mean, she was great. One day, the next day, my son comes in after feeding her and say, mom, she looks funny. She’s got like a, her something’s wrong with her side. I went in there, looked and sure enough, she, I mean, she was way lopsided and it turned out that she had bloat and that at that point I did not know anything about that.
I’ve heard of it. I knew that there were issues, but I had no idea. Myself, how to deal with that. Of course, I called my husband. He also did not know his first time he’s ever raised cows. And, , we called a friend of ours who knows everything there is to know about cows. And he kind of told us what to do.
Uh, husband looked at some YouTube. And he stabbed the cow. Okay. So. He was actually supposed to. But. He wasn’t trying to kill her, but it was something that he was supposed to do that, to release the gas or whatever. But if we had known a little bit. Ahead of time. And this was like a time sensitive thing had to be done right away.
So if we had known a little bit ahead of time on how to deal with that situation, we probably could have handled it a lot better. And now I know. Okay. And I’ve done a little research since then. So now I know. And I hope that never happens again. But learning some basic veterinary skills. I mean I’ve the first time I ever pulled a calf.
I was, uh, 10 or 11 years old and it was in the middle of a downpour. And in fact, my grandmother and I had to Wade through a rushing Creek to get down to the calf. And then pull her and. Turned out. Okay. Every everyone lived, but, and that was, uh, like a shock to my system, but it, I mean, it was my very first time to ever pull a calf and I learned quite a bit from it.
So. It’s a good to have those skills, at least a little bit of knowledge. Okay, so now we’re talking about animals. So let’s talk about what you do and you raise the animals. And you love them. You feed them. And, and all of that. And then, but they’re there for a job. They’ve got it. They’ve got a job to do, and their job is to feed you.
So when it comes time for that, Then, if you have knowledge of and can handle butchering yourself, then. For several things happen. There are lots of benefits. One, you are going to save a lot of money on that. On the back end there on you butchering, you’ve already got to put money into buying the animal and feeding the animal.
But then on the backend, if you have to take them to someone else to butcher, then you’re not saving any money. And so. In the long, long run, being able to handle those kinds of things on your own is so much better for your family. Financially now. Also when you butcher yourself. You get everything.
For one, you get the cuts that you want, but you get all of it. You know, I’ve taken animals to the butcher before a long time ago, and I guarantee you, we did not come back with nearly what we should have. So. And I know that for certain, now that I do all of our butchering we get a lot more out of each animal that I process. So something to consider, it’s not difficult to learn. It’s probably difficult to do it your first time, but once you get that one in the bag, then it’s really, it’s not hard at all. It’s.
It’s a little bit time-consuming. But it’s worth it in the long run. Okay. Proper care and preservation of the meat that you harvest when you butcher. So we built here on two X farmstead. We built a. Um, cooler a walk-in cooler in our barn, um, just a few months ago. And it’s up on two Oaks farm talk.com.
And the steps and everything, how we did it. Lots of pictures. I think some video too. And, um, we, we did that specifically because I was about to have to butcher multiple pigs and two cows. I just actually just finished the two cows a couple of weeks ago. And, , having the cooler was just wonderful.
Because it’s terrific you with beef, especially, you’ve really got to let it age. So you hang it in a cooler. It has to be on a certain temperature and let it sit there and age. Or hang there in age. And then once you enough time has gone by that it’s properly aged. Then you pull them out and start cutting them up.
And that’s what I did. And by that point I had a great game plan of exactly what cuts that I wanted to get. And I was able to have all my supplies on hand and ready and, um, it sure did make things. Pretty easy for us. So I love having that, that cooler. Okay. So when you’re butchering also something else that, is a great skill to have and something to do.
Is being able to render lard and tallow. There’s lots of uses, obviously, lard cooking you with it. I like to bake with, the, the really good staff. They’re really good lard. The comes right around the kidneys and everything and of pigs. I’m sorry. And the tallow comes from cows or deer or what have you.
And, but there are lots of great uses for both. And. If you learn that process, it’s not a hard process at all, but if you learn it, then every time you butcher an animal, then you can collect that, render it and. Put it up for safekeeping for whatever projects that you might have coming up. And then of course, there’s tanning hides. If you’re going to be butchering an animal that has a hide that you can tan, then why waste it? If you know how to tan hides, then you can do that yourself. It’s not.
It’s people talk about how hard it is, but there are ways these days, especially to make it a simpler process. I mean, like with a power washer and stuff at. It’s, it’s not as hard. As people make it out to be, I mean, the original, you know, back in the day when there was no extra tools that could help.
I can see it being. I mean, one of those things that you would just dread. But these days it’s, I would say it’s a lot easier to do. I’ve got several, actually that are waiting for me to get down there and get tanned right now. But there are so many things that you can do with it. So that’s a great skill to have because that gives you additional resources.
Okay. Canning and food preservation. So we’ve talked about, you know, gardening and raising animals. . Once you grow your food, and once you raise your animals and get them butchered, then you need to be able to properly. Preserve that food. You know, I have a goal every year. of making sure that my freezers and pantries are so full, that if nothing else came in.
My family’s got a year supply food. Period. And I like to go over that, but that’s my minimum. That’s where I draw the line. I want to make sure that my family has enough to eat. For a solid year. How can I do that? I can do that by preserving the food. Now, obviously there’s freezing meat and some vegetables and stuff. You can freeze.
But you might run out of freezer space if you’re doing it all by freezing. And, what if the power goes out for an extended period of time? Do you have you have solar or generators or what have you to keep your freezers going so that your food doesn’t spoil, that would be, that would be terrible to lose all of that.
But so one of the things that you can consider doing are other preservation methods like canning. Now, that’s the one that I prefer. I love, I love to can. Oh, my. Um, great-grandmother and my grandmother both canned and I learned with them. I. I just, I enjoy doing it. I love the thought of it. I liked watching the process when I was really little and it’s something that I do on a regular basis.
It gives my family long-term storage of food that we can eat. And it’s already ready to go. Plus I really like the whole food, like the whole like meal in a jar thing, because then it’s already cooked. You just have to warm it up. And I know it’s healthy because I grew it. And I know that there’s nothing extra in it, no chemicals or anything like that. So , that makes me feel better about feeding my family. Plus it’s lot quicker.
Uh, okay. So that’s the canning and food preservation, others there’s other ways to do. Um, preservation, obviously smoking, we built a smoker out here. It’s just an awesome, huge smoker. And, it’s on TwoOaksFarmTalk.com. And it’s, it’s a really neat thing. If you have a lot that you want to smoke at one time, especially cause it’s pretty big.
But smoking is a great way of doing some preservation, but it’s also really great for cooking your food. And so depending on what you’re doing, Okay. So, How about talking about cooking? How about cooking and baking from scratch? You know, that it seems like that something that has also fallen by the wayside, people don’t do, a lot of from scratch, cooking and baking, which is insane because it’s way better and it’s way cheaper.
Ingredients. Are way less than the pre-packaged prefixed, whatever, from the store , and from the store, you’re getting preservatives, you’re getting, you know, chemicals or whatever and, , it’s so much more expensive. I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to do the cooking from scratch.
And it’s not as hard and it’s not as time consuming as people. Think these days, I mean, really. I hear people talking about it, people my age and younger. That don’t cook from scratch because they don’t have time for that. What, it’s not hard. It doesn’t take long. You typically have the seasonings and supplies and whatever right there in your pantry. And all you do is throw them in a bowl and stir them up and whatever.
It’s not hard and it’s way less expensive. And it’s a skill that is falling by the wayside that people need to pick back up on. If the worst was to happen. And, and I don’t mean the worst, worst. I mean, if things were to go so far downhill, That the grocery stores are depleted and the economy is tanking, which.
We’re literally on the verge of right now, by the way. Um, You’re going to want to have these skills. Because this is what’s going to S. You know, get your family by.
Okay, so here’s another one carpentry. If you’re going to, if you were looking into the home setting lifestyle, having a basic knowledge of carpentry is a really good thing to have. You know, there’s, there’s carpenters out there. I’m on my husband’s one. You know, , we’re out there and you can pay us to do a job.
We’ll definitely do the job for you. However, If the economy is looking pretty rough and you know, things are having to be tightened up. Maybe you don’t want to spend that extra money on a contractor to come in and build something that you could potentially do yourself. If you just had some basic construction skills.
You can get those online. You can get those in books. You know, the first house I built. I was years ago, I taught myself. Construction. By reading books. I got every book for every piece of the construction that I knew I was doing, and I designed it. I wired it. I plumbed it. I built it. Framed it.
All of that. And. Because I taught myself from reading books. And it was fantastic. And I really enjoyed the process and ever since then, I’ll just build whatever I can. I love to build. But you don’t have to build houses. If you have basic construction knowledge, you can build yourself a chicken coop.
You know, or. Raised beds for your garden and that kind of thing. Basic construction is a really good skill to have on a homestead. And of course going hand in hand with that is basic repair. Know how to repair basic plumbing, electrical, that kind of thing. If you need those things handled, and there’s a situation where you really can’t pay a contractor to come in.
And do those things for you, having that basic level of knowledge, where you can at least do those smaller things is really going to help you really going to help your family.
Okay. Here’s one. Learning having the knowledge of medicinal preparations from your garden. This is something I do. I’ve done for years and years. I make salves and tinctures. Poultices all of that because it’s, it’s natural healthcare. It’s basically the way everyone stayed alive and healthy. Way back in the day.
Before big pharma and all of that came along and said, oh, you can’t use herbs to treat stuff. You have to pay us for these pills. So, I prefer the herb method. I prefer the natural, , medicine, every chance I can, you know, get, and, and that’s something that I do. I, if I sell them, I have a line of salves and tinctures and that kind of thing that I sell.
That are just fantastic and people love them. And when they run out, they’re clamoring to get more because they worked so well. And they’re natural. There are no side effects, which that’s my big deal I I’ve had when I was in the army. And the. With the army and the VA. If something’s wrong, they prescribe you something. And if you don’t take it, you’re in trouble. Everything you take has side effects, and then you have to take something else for the side effect, which also has a side effect. And it’s just a never ending battle.
So I prefer not to do any of that. And there, you know, God gave us this natural world with everything in it that we need. If you look around, do some reading, do some research. You’ll realize that . Don’t let them tell you. Don’t let big pharma and everyone who’s making money off of you. Don’t let them tell you.
That you. Nature doesn’t work because nature has worked for centuries and centuries. So. That’s something to look into. Uh, I’ve done on, I think on a life on the farm.com. Possibly to Oaks farm talk.com. I’ve done some how tos on a few things. And I have some upcoming posts that will be on making salves and tinctures. So be looking for those, if you subscribe to both of those blogs and you’ll get the notice when I do post those.
Basic first aid very important. Something that is. Is absolutely something that every home needs. But if you’re looking at living a homesteading lifestyle, Basic first aid is something that , everyone in your family needs to know. Because. Worst comes to worse. You’re going to need to know. How to at least render aid, whether it be CPR.
Uh, placing a tourniquet. You know, those kinds of things. First aid, that’s , like a necessary skill that everyone should have.
Okay. Conservation. And when I say that we’re not talking about hugging trees. Which I love trees. Lots of them. But that’s not the kind of conservation that I’m talking about. Being able to conserve your resources. To be able to spread them to wherever you need.
For your family. Harvesting rainwater. That’s one that is, I mean, that’s a conservation technique. That will help you take care of your garden and it will also save you money if you’re having to pay for water. So being able to harvest rainwater is a great skill to have. Good research there.
Foraging you know, you grow food, you raise food. However, there are also things that grow in the wild that are wonderful. I mean, as an example, in Southern Oklahoma. The early spring, people around here are absolute nut balls over these Morel mushrooms. That’s a foraging thing. I mean, if someone finds a good spot.
They will not tell you. Where it is. Because they don’t want anyone going there and steal in their Morales. But foraging is, I mean, that’s an awesome thing to be able to do. You have to do your research though. Because there are wonderful plants out there that are all great edibles. But , you need to know how to tell.
You know this plant from that plant because there’s also some poisonous ones out there. But foraging is a terrific thing to, to know a great knowledge and to have. Okay. Here’s one. Firearm use and safety. Now we are big second amendment people here at two Oaks farmstead. We love our guns and it’s not like we’re out.
You know, shooting them in the air. Like I saw people doing it. The middle east. , but. We target shoot as frequently as we can, because it’s one of those skills that you have to maintain. You know, go out and you shoot a few rounds down range every now and again, just to keep your skills tight and, you know, firearms are great, obviously for your protection, for the protection of your family.
, my husband and sons went fishing on Sunday afternoon. And they all took guns with them because there’s snakes everywhere. Just make sure that they’re safe. And that was that of course, as the wild hogs too, you want to make sure that you’re safe. So that’s what a gun is really terrific for, but also for.
Hunting. Because you, you don’t only have to. You know, like raise livestock, you can also hunt it depending on your level of skill and depending on where you live. What your laws are, what you can harvest, where are you going to harvest? If you have a place to hunt. If you have the, ability and the availability to be able , to hunt for your part of your food, then that is a fantastic skill to have. I know.
The whole family looks forward to deer season every year. We all hunt, but. My husband is like he’s over the top on it. He’s already planning. Okay. He, he loves it. Of course they are bow hunters. I can’t draw mine back enough with my injury to be able to do it often enough. So I hunt with a rifle.
That’s my preference. I can make it quick and go home. Cause I’m going to be the one, butchering everything anyway. , but we all get really excited for hunting season, deer season. And white tail is our big season around here, but I’ve also hunted birds and, and all that. To me, that’s not as. Worth it because I can grow them and harvest as many as I want.
Right here. And then hunting them. You’ve got a really small limit in most places or most places that I’ve been. But it’s fun anyway, and it’s a great bonding moment for parents and children. It’s a great thing to learn then. The fishing as well. Fishing is something that. It’s wonderful. I love to fish. It can feed your family. And that’s, that’s always my goal because I’m more practical. Um, my husband and I got together, we used to joke.
About the fact that we are, we both love to fish, but we are two different kinds of fishermen. He is a bass fishermen. Which I detest because it’s way too much work. he never sits down. It’s constant standing and walking, casting, casting, casting. And maybe he’ll catch one or two. Where myself I’m a crappie fisherman or a catfish fishermen.
And I can sit back, put my feet up, throw a bobber in the water, or put a bell on a line and I can just rest and relax. Get some sun. While I’m waiting for the fish to eat my worm or my minnow or whatever. I like that kind of fishing, but regardless of what kind of fishing you like, it’s a great skill to have. It’s something that you can do for relaxation. It’s something you can do with your family. But it’s also something that you can do to feed your family. So I always suggest it. That’s a great thing to do. So what we’ve talked about today, All of these, these.
Items on this list of homesteading skills. These are in no way, a full list of homesteading skills to have, but these are some really great ones. Some base ones that you would want to learn. If you are looking into or wanting to expand on this homesteading lifestyle. If you have any questions about any of it.
I’m more than willing to talk to answer your questions. You can comment on, you can send me an email or whatever. Get on farm life and freedom.com. And, You can reach me on there. And we’ll talk. Okay. If you have any other skills that you’d like to throw in, that you have found to be really important for homesteading, I would love to hear about them. I’d like to share them now. ,
Coming up in the near future, you will be able to see a lot more of these skills. Laid out in more detail on two Oaks farm talk. Dot com. So that’s something that you can, if you’d like to read, if you’d like to have it on. You know, in print or whatever, then you can get on there to. Farm talk.com and have a look.
But. one other thing that I would like to say about homesteading skills. Is, it’s not, it’s not just for you. If you have a family. Learning these homesteading skills. It’s fantastic for you taking care of your family.
But it’s also one of the best things that you can give your kids. Teaching your children. All of these skills, these are skills that will help them. Survive. And thrive. In the future. These kinds of skills are the. That’s the very thing that you should be teaching your children. They will cherish it for the rest of their lives.
It’s not something that everyone gets. They will have knowledge that most people don’t. And they will always remember those moments where, you know, mom taught canning and dad taught fishing or whatever. It’s a phenomenal experience. It’s life experience for children. So don’t leave them out. Until next time.
You guys have a great week.
