Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Today we explore the concept of silence used as a tool to teach, a tool to reflect, and a tool to manipulate. Tales from the Prepper Pantry Reorganizing canned goods for summer season Setting up a canning station in the kitchen  Focused on using up corn, beans, stewed tomatoes Putting up 6 trays of foraged and dried herbs a week from my walk - mostly red clover and berry leaves (Explain why) Featured Forage: Rose Petals Herbal: https://commonwealthherbs.com/rose-herb-of-the-week/ SKIN Toner - rosewater -  Acne Wounds Sunburn Food: raw in salads, candies as dessert (petals) Rose hip jam, jelly, or chutney, add them to muffins for a sweet-tart treat, and you can even dehydrate Rose hip puree to make Rose hip fruit leather!  Stump the Sauce from Krystal Herbal uses of scarlet clover?? Operation Independence Resuming the writing of my book - MY3Things Main topic of the Show: The Power and Danger of Silence Silence in a Sales Call Silence as a Tool of Manipulation Silence in the Middle of a Speech A Moment of Silence Silence to Get Your Head Right Silence as a Means to Keep the Peace Silence to Go Along to Get Along Silence is a tool, it is something we need to be mentally healthy. But the cultural silence that occurs when people see a trend that may not be healthy, that people do when being polite - THAT silence is dangerous. It is a result of peer pressure. So look around you? And ask yourself - am I going along to get along right now? And is that the best course of action? Make it a great week! Song: Anonymous by Sauce GUYS!

Last fall, community member Kurt Dugger said: Screw the toolbox fallacy, I am going to try something big - really big. I want to raise awareness of the issues facing combat veterans and raise money for the Darkhorse Lodge - a veterans retreat in Tennessee. And he did.  He set out on a journey across the state in a paramotor which basically looks like a lawn chair with a parachute and a giant fan. This multi-day effort ended prematurely due to weather, but it raised lots of money for the lodge. Fast forward to NOW. Kurt is embarking on this challenge a second  time - never give up - May 22-25 ish.  But first: Stump the Sauce From Mark: Spicing up feeding tube food Show Resources Freedom And Photography Darkhorse 450 Facebook Page Main content of the show Introduce Kurt Mention the date change and why Make it a great week GUYS!

Today, we discuss five things to know about homesteading whether you want to live in the country or simply increase your stability wherever home is. Because creating value from what you have and getting control of your supply chain can only lead to good things. Thursday at 7pm- Livestream with the Holler Neighbors - tear down this wall: https://youtu.be/8x6axBY3w1w Webinar: May 28, 2020 at 3pm Central. Google My Business with Joshua Sloan Tales from the Prepper Pantry It worked!

Recipes: Cream of watercress soup Operation Independence Side benefit of the wall coming down - workshop space in the house Main topic of the Show: Homesteading 101 - Five Things To Know Your family needs to be on board and not just supportive of your idea, but willing to help You can begin where you are: herbs on the windowsill, raised beds, city-friendly livestock Spend time on other homesteads, getting to know homesteaders, and learning what they wish they had done differently - especially in land choice - before you buy. Take time finding your homestead. There is no rush. Also, it ain’t all roses. Habits of frugality are good no matter where you live. Choose them carefully Learn 1 thing per year, wether or not you have moved to your homestead: Cheesemaking, canning, soap making, pantry management, milking goats, growing vegetables, printing fruit trees, butchering chickens, herbal remedies, wild foraging, during herbs, growing and making tea. (Don't add more than 3 and be really careful about this) In our modern day, homesteading has moved beyond getting a free piece of land from the government and living solely from what we produces to a mindset of self reliance, independence, creating value from what we have, and raising and storing good, healthy food. With the commercial food supply chains straining to pivot into a different delivery method - lots of people are interested in grabbing a piece of land and starting to be more independent. This is wonderful. Just know that taking time to find the right fit for you and your family will pay off in spades in the future. And almost anyone can start integrating homesteading practices into their current living situation, be it in an apartment, on a city lot, or on a large piece of land. Make it a great week!

Homesteading is work - there is no doubt. I mean, I am looking at mucking out the duck coop soon. But you can do things to make your life easier and one BIG thing to think about is how much your daily animal chores take and what you can do to improve your time spent on this. A year ago, mine took 45 minutes to an hour - now they can be done as quickly as 15 minutes.

Today we have a thought of the walk. You see, these past four weeks I have been struggling with time management. While everyone has been home sharing which netflix series they intend to binge watch, complaining about being bored and so forth, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting little bits of lots of things done and nothing finished. So I will share some thoughts on time management later in the show.

I had a request to talk through my tools - as in which tools I have and why. Rather than go through the exhaustive list, I thought I would run you through what is in my tool bag in the house - and then I will heartily complain about what is not because sometimes it happens that I or another visitor grabs something from the bag and does not put it back, which drives me batty when I need the thing.
