but he's asking government shut down the
loss of food stamps what is my take on
all of it well I'm outside doing chores
it's 21 degrees and it's in the middle
of the day and I am working on chores
I'm gonna share with you my take on all
of this and what it really means to me
for you see I am NOT just a prepper I'm
a homesteader and a homesteader can be
very different from being a prepper
so I hope you stay tuned for this
informative video
what are my thoughts about all of the
things that have been happening in this
world it's not a whole lot for me to
discuss except for what it doesn't mean
to me about government shutdowns in not
having food stamps and all of these
things that we're hearing about in the
news nothing is new we've been hearing
about things like this for years but I'm
going to share with you a little bit of
my perspective on things and my
perspective is a little different
because I'm a homesteader well what is a
homesteader well I take a piece of land
I grow my food with it I take a piece of
land I have animals livestock on it I
have a house and I homestead it I can be
a proper a prepper is somebody who goes
out and they buy food and they store it
and stock it up I understand not
everyone can be a homesteader and you
might have some physical limitations you
may not be able to have an acre of
ground there's a lot of things you maybe
can't have the difference between me and
a lot of channels that you see is I live
it I live it every single day of my life
I hold water I heat my water by the
stove I heat with wood
I have animals I raised most of my food
on my one acre property I do this all
this is my lifestyle I wake up every
morning and live as if we wouldn't have
the government this is how I live I
don't just do drills in order to see
what it would be like this is my life I
use oil lamps
I do things such an old-fashioned way
that for me things like this don't
really affect me marry the plain
lifestyle now grandma Fannie you are
hearing her diary and so many people ask
me well what happened in the world why
isn't she talking about the world
talking about the wars and Hitler and
all
that those things didn't affect her very
much she was a farm wife she lived on
the forum
she raised her own food raised her own
grains raised my stock washout when it's
20 degrees like I do she has her
livestock she had her own chickens she
had all of these things so the things of
the world didn't affect her like it
would affect somebody who lived in this
city yes times were very hard in those
days but they weren't like it would
affected people in the cities I don't
know what it's like to rely on any kind
of government assistance I don't have
anything to do with the government
almost in every aspect even other
aspects that I don't even share with you
all I am NOT reliant on the government
for any reason I understand there are
elderly and there are children that are
rely on the government and there are
going to be some victims in all of this
and it is very sad because there are
people that really abuse the system and
that really that hurts the people that
don't abuse the system but for me this
is my life this is how I live every
single day I am NOT just a prepper I'm a
homesteader I've learned how to raise my
own food I've learned how to make my own
soap I learned how to take tallow and I
learned how to render fat I know all of
these things and it's about knowledge
but it's about skills you can read
everything you want in the book but if
you don't have the daily skills of it
you won't understand and so people are
asking me or what is your take on it you
know what what is your take on all of it
my take on all of it do what you can and
prepare it with how you can but do it
diligently you know we can't just all of
a sudden run into a frenzy and say we're
gonna
do this and we're gonna do that and then
find out that the government goes back
on track the stamps go back on track and
then we forget all about it it has to be
a lifestyle you have to choose to live
this way if you really want to be
prepared so many times people get
excited and they quick run out and they
quick buy all kinds of food and they do
all of these things because they think
the end is near and then when things get
good they go right back to what they
were doing before and I want to share
with you it's a lifestyle
it is Little House on the Prairie and
it's not for everyone it's not easy I am
going to be 49 years old tomorrow I have
to haul out buckets of water one
five-gallon bucket is 40 pounds and I
have to do that five six times a day I
have to haul out hundreds of pounds of
water out a day I've learned to use less
water but still it's physically
challenging to learn to live without the
amenities that are provided so these are
my thoughts on it and this is just for
me I don't have a TV I don't watch the
news I really don't know what goes on in
the world and you know what I'm prepared
for whatever this is my life
this is something I enjoy doing this is
something that I enjoy living it is a
purposeful living it's a simplistic
living but read in your books and learn
to do things don't just read it do it
and if you can't grow things learn other
survival skills you know of course my
philosophy in life is don't live in the
cities and don't live in the in the
urban areas but I know that's not for
everyone and I know they can't do that
and so you need to learn to do with what
you can with what you have and learn to
do things and learn to know what it's
like to
then without things because my friends
if it doesn't happen tomorrow or this
year or next year are our children and
our grandchildren or great-grandchildren
somebody someday it's going to have to
live through some very difficult times I
believe that I believe that you can only
do some live a certain way for so long
like our world has lived and not have
something come back you cannot borrow
and borrow and borrow and borrow and
never have to repay that's with
everything with life that's with me
that's with you and that's with our
government so so while the government
fights around the round table so to
speak and wondering who's gonna get what
and what's gonna get who I'm here doing
my chores like nothing ever happened
last years then when you have plenty you
store up so it can help you when you
have the lean years that's all what it's
about storing up when you have good
years for when you have bad years
so for me being a homesteader is
prepping but learning how to supply your
own needs and being self-sufficient you
know you can prep all you want you can
buy all the things in the store you want
but if you don't know how to provide for
yourself those things are gonna run out
you know learning how to create power
power learning how to create power with
methane-gas learning how to run things
Solar learning all of these things
learning how to heat your house when you
don't have electricity all of these
things you need to put into practice
conditioning your body conditioning your
body for hard times I'm a big girl I
would be the first to admit that to you
I'm a strong girl I can lift as much as
them as a grown man can lift if not even
more I can handle the cold I'm out here
and it's 21 22 degrees I'm not cold at
all because I'm working I've learned all
of these skills you know and so for me
all of these things that are happening
I'm like Fanny they will affect me but
they won't affect me like they may
affect some people is very dense places
where they are up way up on a fourth
floor of an apartment what everything is
comes to them by structures of
electricity and things like that but
we're not to put fear you know we're not
to put fear in our hearts for whatever
may happen
it's just I'm very thankful that I
foreseen all of this and I bought a
property
where I am out a little bit of nowhere
land compared to some and my neighbors
are a lot like me I'm very thankful that
I'm here and I can do pretty much
whatever I please and I can live a
simplistic lifestyle and I'm very
thankful for that so my theory to you is
do what you can with what you have do
not stress it do not worry over it and
but be proactive in your life don't just
sit there and say well it's gonna happen
there's nothing I can do because there's
something that you all can do no matter
where you are
learn to can canning is a key so many
Preppers are not talking about canning
canning is a way to be because even in
the urban places there are produce
markets there are places you can get
food learn too can your own food you're
putting your health back into your hands
and not the hands of some big
manufacturers who really aren't watching
the safety of your food can it my
friends can your food it is the most
frugal cheapest way to go and I hope
that some of you take up canning I know
a lot of you older girls canned when you
were younger I would really recommend
you get back into canning and get back
into the things like that preserving and
things like that because you are going
to find satisfaction in it you're gonna
have healthier eating because you're
choosing what you're gonna put into your
body
