An Army Veteran and a German Girl .... Building up our self-sufficient life one step at a time.
We've been saving up for years and planning for our move back into the country. In March 2020 we took the leap and relocated to our 20 acres of oak trees lost in the pines of Florida's panhandle and left the city life we had lived for 7 years behind.
On our channel we document the journey of arriving at our piece of land and building everything up from scratch, with all the learning that comes with "on-the-job" training. From building infrastructure, over animal husbandry and gardening, we are doing it all and taking you along with us in our videos.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

My garden is a DISASTER! | Florida Summer Garden Tour | The Neglect Project
I'll never get the Anatolians again. I got them from old middle eastern stock. They are bigger than most and don't like anyone but us and don't like new animal to well. My female killed a bobcat so easily that it bothered me because Ive been thinking what if a family matter comes and is gotten by one. They don't stand a chance. I have a boerboel, caucasian Shepherd, and a cane corso who are all imports. None of them are as fierce as the Anatolians. I don't get it. And yes, everything wants our free ranging chickens and water fowl, goats, sheep and pigs. However, the Anatolians think everything and everyone is a major threat. The others aren't like that. My boerboel and cane corso are more of pets, but are in the pasture in spring summer and fall. I have 3 no turn off switch border Collies that work the animals on the pasture year round for rotation and for the animals that are put up. The Anatolians give them a hard time once in a while. Shall I give them away and get the Great Pyrenees instead?
Please share the recipes for pine needles
My one concern is small children, I hear mixed opinions with Anatolians and small kids, I know from experience Pyrenees are great with kids, their downfall is wow that hair.
Have you tried overwinter one? It says zone 8 to 11... maybe cut one back and put a cover on it for winter 🤔
Thank you for posting this video. I love that you left the part where your daughter pops in. So cute! I can’t wait to watch your other videos. I have recently gotten into herbal healing so I appreciate everyone like you that teaches the benefits of natural living/healing💕
What. Do you use to combat the ma, ma, maquitos??
The American Legion will property dispose of your old flags. I save them up and take them down to the American Legion. 👍👍
Yes i'am a flag waver. PLEASE READ ON 👉RULES! HOW TO TAKE CARE AND DISPOSE OF YOUR AMERICAN FLAG. With RESPECT and HONOR. I dearly love my 25' telescoping flag pole. It made it even stronger, by dropping it down 5' > Plus it made it easier to be seen from the road > It has with stand a storm of 90 mph plus winds. with the flag on it. It hit so fast i couldn't get it down. I love my country! YES! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Amen
And why’d you do that?
To drink the tea and enjoy the benefits 😁
What are the benefits?
Oh wow, you're in Milton! I live in Colorado but grew up in Pensacola. Would love to stop by your place, next time I visit my family in Florida. Thank you for the video it was most helpful. I can't wait for my hubby to get home so we can chat.
Oh wow! Small world
How do you harvest it?
You just cut it 😁
@@HiddenOaksHomestead I guess I mean do you tincture it? Like the alcohol or oil? Or both?
I get pine needle tea from a health shop in Dublin. Is it best to forage for the tea or is the dried looking tea still okay? For getting the benefits?
You're fine with dried leaves too
Can they sleep outside in the barn and also are they good with horses and gentle with children? don't want an aggressive dog
Ours are with livestock on our grounds 24/7 We love ours and they love us including the kids
Your brave to stick with anatolians. Our farms in turkey only sticks with kangal and now shifting twords boz shepard.
Why's that
Pay attention to what dog did to piggy when mama-goat was gaving burth. He protected the mama. This is what they do in the field.
Exactly
The pine trees on my property are tall and have no low hanging branches. Unless I cut a tree down there is no way to get fresh green needles. 😢
Aww bummer. You can get dried needles online I hear
@@Melindalot - If you look you might find baby pines nearby. Using them can help control overgrowth.
Great video we just ordered one today!
Hope you enjoy it!
Is it ok to eat them raw?
It's not recommended as it can cause gastrointestinal distress in certain people
How did you protect the livestock when they were puppies? I'm in a chicken and egg situation. I have coyotes out here. I want to get a flock and an anatolian shepherd, but this would be the first guard dog. How many months do you think until the dog is big enough to defend against a coyote? Did you raise the dog with the flock or did you get him first?
The cototes stayed away immediately. Just the fact there was a dog helped. However, we have 4 adults now and really couldnt be happier. They work extremely well as a protective pack. They need training and I would not leave a puppy unsupervised with free range chickens. They're too much fun to play with
You talk too much!
@@gloriscalderon3170 you're welcome to mute 😁
Is that a frizzle?
Yup
Can you elaborate on feedings the branches to animals?
Not even close to best lgd. Aborginail Qartuli Nagazi are by far the best 😊
Ill take your word
@@HiddenOaksHomestead czcams.com/video/yOh7SayDzhE/video.htmlsi=CX59-34biDMdIcjF Watch this 😊
I dearly love the Telescopic Flag Pole 👍👍 THERE THE BEST!
The best!
@@HiddenOaksHomestead I think so for the home steads
Never over hand tight the flag pole. If your telescopic Flag pole gets stuck? Pour water down into the joint to loosen up, of the dirt and sand in the joint 👉👉 WORKS EVERY TIME! with a band jar opener to. Then hand tight only ! 👍👍
Thanks
This looks great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job fella's. Looks great.
Thank you! Cheers!
Lumber is always cut long
Thanks
Love these dogs. We have had five of these dogs over the years on our property in the Rockies. The best farm dogs ever.
I agree!
So amazing! Looks like mama and baby are doing well! 🤞
Yup
There’s also the local cougar population and when you get young males dispersing them more likely to take livestock. But those dogs have been bred to literally chase off everything from lions leopards brown bear hyena. So without wishing to be rude a Panther while it’s no mug a couple of those big dogs will definitely put one to Flight but it’s also a matter of saying local predators if you come here looking for a free lunch you just going to get chewed up, you’re putting a big sign on the door saying no free lunches to predators and these dogs actors the bouncers. It will be interesting to see a statistic as to how many encounters get physical compared to the amount of encounters where it’s just a lot of barking and snarling. When you’re an ambush Hunter, if the dogs know you’re about to race a ruckus then it’s over with for you. All for a bear unless they’re very very hungry it’s not worth the risk of getting injured. Coyotes unless there’s a pack of them and they’re against the group of your dogs, unless they’re sneaking the dogs to go with something which is three times their size and a hell a lot more powerful. When the return from the valley in Wyoming, they killed off about 90% of the coyote population. And this breed isn’t exactly a Chihuahua so go figure on a coyotes reaction when they see that thing.
Right?
Are they good with kids?
Ours are
I love them all, Anatolians, Kangal, Akbash, Hymanna Karasi, Malaklasi, any of the LGDs. Any working dog really. Great stuff.
Great dogs
"Farmers can't protect their livestock with firearms" - Liberal idiocy.
When she touched her nose, momma looked down and said "look"
I know 😍

Nature has taken care of the circle of life for millenia
Awwww!!! 🥰
Right
That’s so sweet!
Agreed
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😁
if you cook the fermented peppers YOU KILL ALL THE GOOD BACTERIA
True. But the taste is amazing
you should check out the himalayan sheep dog it has been protecting livestock since 2000yrs and are still protecting from leopards in the mountaind
It's too hot here for them
What is the earliest age to best determine a puppy's temperament/personality? We lucked out with Shayla, our late GP/Anatolian/mix. We had her from 14 weeks to 15+ years. She was a great family pet in our suburban home. She went to puppy training for socialization, had a big fenced yard to hang out in, got walked two 1+ mile walks most days, taken to a park and a relative's farm where she was allowed to run free. She liked everyone in the family equally, was our wiener dog's best friend, and adored our grandchildren. She was dominant and resilient without ever being overtly aggressive. It's weird now that she's gone as this is the first time in 30 years, we've been dogless. I'm thinking about getting an Anatolian Pyrenees as I really like the mix but want to get one with a personality less independent and a little more people oriented than what I hear most are.
Also wanted to mention I walked Shayla with a loose leash allowing her to stop, smell, and pee on about everything she wanted to. When the wife started walking her while pushing our grandbabies in a stroller, Shayla was all business. She walked next to the stroller like it was her duty. She did this on her own with no training involved.
Once they're around 12 weeks you can get a sense
We had a telescoping flagpole before we moved. Guess I will have to do more research as ours before COULD fly flags at half mast.
I'm sure there's options
It is a great explaination video , youtube should suggest more views
The more engagement and people sharing. The more youtube will push it
My grandfather had Kangals while being a Boer in SA. Scariest looking animals and tough as nails! But absolute cuddle buddies for us and the livestock.
They're amazing
Where is the actual recipe that you used? You made a video but no recipe for the amounts that you used for each ingredient?
It's in the description
