Hey this is Autumn I’m glad the hot pad worked out for you! Get outside and get happy! Lol she gone!
Thanks again Autumn! And thanks to all you girls for my thank you note and MORE goodies!! love it :)
Seeing you can the meat takes me WAY back to when I was a kid. My Mpther used to can fruits and veggies. We lived on a "farming ranch" so we always had "something going on". My Father was a butcher after the Korean War so I grew up with my Father teaching me hunting and fishing, skinning and cleaning "all sorts of critters".
Thank You for the stroll down memory lane.
Y'all take care and God Bless!!!!
When I was a kid I lived without electricity and thus we made our own candles for light etc.
I found that the water quench on the candle dipping leads to a candle that would spit a lot as it burned. Later I went to a slower method where I would tie 6 strings onto a rod and dip 6 at a time each in their own wax pot. I could then hang the candles and let them cool without the water quench. Even though it was a longer wait between dips, I was dipping six at a time and thus my output was better.
Better burning candles at that point.
yep sometimes they do sputter from the water droplets suspended inside the wax. i try to keep water drops to a minimum!
@@therealgirlinthewoods I wonder if using distilled water would help in that regard. Will have to try it !
I am so happy to hear you talk about the importance of having your gauge tested. I am new to canning (at 62 years of age!! 🤣), and I first heard this recommendation from Carolyn at Homesteading Family. She teaches canning classes, and she’s amazing! She said you can have the testing done at your local County Extension Office, so off I went, with the lid to my pressure canner (with gauge), in hand. She also said you should have the gauge tested each year at the beginning of canning season AND even when you buy a new canner. This advice was seconded by the County Extension Office. Apparently, while the factory installs the gauge, they don’t test them. My brand new pressure canner gauge was actually off, not by a whole bunch, but 11 pounds pressure is what is needed to ensure the safety of the food you’re canning. The last thing I want to do is make myself or anyone else sick, or worse, dead!! Everyone I’ve told this to has scoffed at the idea, which baffles me; why wouldn’t you want to make sure you’re food is safe? But don’t get me started!! 🤣🤣 Great video; your venison looks delicious!!
You are such a funny little sweetheart. Loved the canning. Man, that’s an old American canner. It will last forever!! Take care!! 🌞❣️♥️🌞
You and Dave are amazing people. I want to thank you you both for teaching me everything I need to know about self reliance. I want you to know I’m going camping in the up by myself for the first time ever with your inspiring stories. Camping, fishing, cooking and making coffee over open fire, I can’t wait.!!Thank you Brooke you are truly a beautiful women inside and out. I hope to meet you one day.
I really love how much you value those old tools. Also recognized this in some of your other videos. Often people buy and buy, think they need the newest and modern stuff, while those old pots, etc. are kind of indestructible, not to mention, their history, memories. As for me, I always think, the old stuff has a soul of its own. Besides: great video and beautiful candles!!! :-) Thank you for sharing!
It would be such an honor to meet you guys. Y'all are so cool! Salt of the earth peeps. :)
Your awesome Brook. You and Dave are amazing. Such a nice couple and amazingly talented. Can't tell u how calming I find your little overnights in the cabin. You are just so happy and and such an inspiration
Dryer lint in a ziplock bag for fire starter. Easy add.
We take toilet paper rolls when empty or bigger paper towel and put in dryer lent and fold both ends. Great to stockpile store in giant ziplock to have a supply to go.
Wow never thought of that, I have a massive bag of lint in my laundry room for "trash", now I know what I'm doing with it!
@@FBIMOUS377 I use the empty toilet rolls and paper towel rolls for different sizes. I sometimes will add a used tissue into the batch.
I have several old 35mm film canisters jammed full of dryer lint. Works like a charm!
I’ve learned so much from you. My husband was so excited when I asked him to buy me a fire starting kit. Lol
That is awesome!
Luv it 👊🏻
👍
That bag is amazing, I am quite impressed! Another great video Brooke!
Your Kitty is beautiful!💗
I received a jar of canned venison from my friend in Hersey. I never knew what to do with it, but it looks just like yours so I reckon I still can use it!!. Loved the candle creating.... Gonna do that!!
Brooke: "There's enough in here to throw..."
Me: "A party? Please say a a party."
I like the canned venison too. Been canning it for 40+ years. Take care Brooke.
Awww. Edna is so adorable! Hello to The Woof and all the other fur babies. I love the wax dipping tutorial TY. Howdy to Dave and the kids.
Oh I love that Bug Out Bag.... It's going on my Mother's Day List :-) the folks in Texas could have used one lately too.
I worked at a UW-Extension office for 43 years. When gauges tested out at more than 2 lbs different, it was recommended to get a new gauge. Plus get the new gauge tested also. Canned venison is the best!
My mother’s name was Edna😄. I love listening for all the little pops of the tops.
awwww
Love your cat's name, Edna. That's what my Mom's name was. She has been gone going on 16 years. That canner sure is old. My mom did a lot of canning.
nice
My mom used to can our huge broiler chickens bone in. To fit the birds, and the size of her family (she was feeding eight or nine kids there before I left home, I'm the eldest of eleven) she canned the chickens in half gallon jars. We used to grab jars out of the pantry and eat the chicken and jelly right out of the jar. Mom also canned green beans, which I miss to this day.
yep i've done the same with my chickens but quart jars!
Yaaay I love beeswax candles !!! I made a wish for a beeswax candle tutorial and here it is. Thanks Brooke, I admire your lifestyle.
I thought I knew quite a bit but I learn a lot from you and your husband Dave. Thank you both!
We can meat in a beef broth the same way you do with water. My parents used beef broth to can venison, the venison had a delicious smell and taste. My wife and I can all the veggies we grow in our garden. Love the candle making idea.
I am a prep-per I am 74 years old lived in a very poor neighborhood for twenty years. I married my husband at 20 years old we both worked hard to make a great life for ourselves and our only daughter. I have learned how to save and be frugal I have been cooking since I was seven years old. Canning, freezing, processing meats is very important in our future.
I remember my mother making meatballs just using ground venison and canning them in beef broth. That's all, nothing else. When we ate them, we would just heat up the contents of the jar and eat. No need to add anything. It was delicious! We would serve it to people who claimed they hated venison and they couldn't get over how good it was and how simple the recipe. How I miss those days.
If 2020 taught us anything, it was to really start taking our preps seriously. We learned to can and dehydrate. Water source is what we are struggling with. Still on the grid and only brackish water close by. Everything else I feel pretty good about. Thanks for another great video!
Another AWESOME video, Brooke! I’ve already been outside this morning and got happy shoveling some fresh snow that fell during the night. Visiting my Mom in Montana is Sooo Great!🤗
Hi. I’m a new follower. So glad I found you and your husband. You are such an amazing woman!!! I just love your ZEST for life!!! As I said, just starting to follow you so watching olde videos and trying to learn more about you and your husband. This is the first time I have seen Edna. She’s beautiful. Is this your main home where you both live? Love to see how you cook things too, at home and in the wilderness. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. A forever follower!!! 💕
Welcome!!
My mom's canned venison is like gold in our family. Childhood memories of her venison stew with the canned venison and homemade dumplings - So Yummy!
Great advice, love the canning idea of meat, the survival pack with exactly what you need to bug out. Also really like the candle dipping tutorial, have to try that myself. Love candles. Awesome video, and love the clarity of the video, really sharp! Thank You Brooke for all the great advice, and product info!! Stay safe!!
Omg! Fell in love with Edna!
i know and she has personality in SPADES!
Love that you are sharing your tutorials. Want to try canning which is not a big thing here in the UK but after Covid I feel we all must be more secure and ready for anything. These are all things I need to do. Love the beeswax candles making too.
That cat is livin the dream ❤️ I love it ❤️
lol yup buncha lucky strays
Hi Brook
I’m pretty new to your channel but I’m loving what I’m learning
I’m pretty much an outdoor gal myself
We meaning my family we lived in tents for 5 months till the snow came than we lived in a small travel trailer because mom and dad were building a log house when the living room was built we all moved in on buck beds I was about 5yrs old
Ever since than I was hooked
I can’t wait till your next adventure

With my canner and all the book it says to let the steam out for 7 minutes before you lock the steam thing. Then watch your pressure and start timing it when it come to the #’s you need to watch. I bought a cheap aluminum double boiler just for candles. Now that the kids don’t live here any more I don’t make candles. They were great as a 4-H project. 😄. I now buy my beeswax candles from local beekeepers.
yes I wing it a lot... consulting a canning book is always helpful!!
Loved the candle dipping! I was wondering where you were, good to see you back!
Love your Maine Coon...I had one once, his name was Artemis after one of the actors on the show, The Wild Wild West Show, character Artemis Gordon. My Maine Coon lived to be 20 yrs old. Great cuddler, great with babies and kiddos, great family cat.. Awesome mouser too!
You are one special person I love watching you ❤️ my sister passed in April.And my other sister was staying with me for awhile .well on Feb 10 I found her dead .we are burying her Friday the 18 .Her birthday was Valentine's day. But I just want you to know watching your videos make my day .love ya girl and Thank you so much.
That part of the knife on the bottom for ripping, is actually a seatbelt cutter, there should be a small point on the bottom of the handle, thats for breaking windows. Good for when showing up to a person trapped in a car.
I canned on my old woodburning stove for almost 27 yrs. Oh how I miss it!
I always wondered if a wood stove could get hot enough to can on. How did it work and how to you regulate the heat?
Woopie our girl in the woods has come alive....must be that whiff of spring
Very awesome Brook! I used the things I have learned from you and your husband during the big freeze and blizzard we had in Texas last week. We had no power and no water for around three days and the temperature dipped down to negative 5 degrees below zero. Also, most Texans don't know how to deal with the cold. I personally spent a Winter semester in Northern Quebec, Canada while in college but , in general we have very warm weather here and don't deal much with freezing temperatures. Thanks for the info Brook and Bush Radical!
Good video GF, like always glad to see fresh stuff from you and Dave.
Pretty beeswax candles homemade tied
In some pretty brown paper with a pretty ribbon sounds like a beautiful gift! Maybe I’ll make some for gifts for next year! Thanks for sharing! Also that is a pretty cool survivor pack I think my honey would love that!
Oh the memories of my mom canning , venison , veggies an fruit.....I can still hear her hollering at us.....”stop eating the peaches !!!”......if you want one peel it!!!.....good times
love it
Thanks for sharing the internet and candles making. Also thanks for sharing for safety kit
Thanks Brooke for all you do! Very inspiring.
That was an awesome video,I like the bees wax candles because they don’t give off any petroleum fumes.!
Looks like I know we’re too come for great venison 😊☮️
That's a good point about the fumes, thanks👍
What about soy candles.
@@mangomadness8635 I didn’t know they made soy candles,thanks for the tip it’s something I’ll look into
I love the way you explain things and you make it look so easy!!
Thank you! 😊
Be sure to check the rubber on the lid of your pressure cooker. If it has cracks or dry,, replace it to assure a good seal.
Hi! Norway here!
Been following your adventures outside for a time now.
And im impressed!
I have a cuestion about harvesting pine needles in spring?
I allways cook up a big kettle of spring green pine needles for winter. Good for the throat, lots of vitC and beating colds!
Is this something one does in america?
The vikings svore to this.
I usually disolve a vitC tablet into the miks just to be sure that it will hold through winter and it works fine, even if the container isnt fully desinfected. Because the vitC is not actually vitamins, but ascorbic acid! Yeah! 👍
Great video with some awesome info! The bees wax is a total thumbs up along with canning the venison. I use to help mom can blackberry jam 😋! I can imagine the venison being quite delicious!! Again thanks for the info Brooke!! Blessings to Dave and you & the family.
That is so cool! Thank you for all the great stuff to make! Edna is so cute too!
Way to go Brook! You are full of surprises !
Wow.You made dipping candles look so easy.
Thats so helpful Brooke, love your candle making process. I would love to try that, maybe make some candle molds too. I love the ones in reused jars, but the hand dipped are so pretty, and elegant.
That was awesome! I have never seen candle making before.
Loved the candle making. I had no idea...very cool.
thanks for showing us how to make your bee's wax candles , love it. the survival bag is awesome great item to have when out and about, your canned venison will be tasty i am sure . thanks for the video Brook
I can my venison raw. The heat from canning will cook it when it is cut up into small chunks. I also add some salt straight on top of the meat before I put the lids on. On some, I may use cajun seasoning or other spices just to change it up. The stuff goes great with crackers and cheese. I eat it straight out of the jar!
You're such a doll!
TY for all of the survival tips
Awesome video. Loved the canning info. I did think it was more complicated than that lol. I remember making candles as a kid. That bug out bag is absolutely awesome. Thank you.
Great video! Thank you for an easy way to make beeswax candles and showing me how to can venison. I can everything now but never canned venison.
So happy to see you. Great video. Loved the candle making. You are such an amazing lady and just want you to know I love watching all your videos when you camp and you are outside. Sending lots of love from VA and you guy’s stay safe. Looking forward to the next video.❤️
Thank you so much!
Great to see you Brooke God bless you and Dave, thanks for the update.
Brooke thank you so so much!! I just made a batch of homemade apple butter and I will be canning some veggies I grown this year. I'm super motivated to learn!!! I want to make jellies too. I feel like I must learn this. Also I watched YOUR sour dough starter and ive now got a beautiful starter!!! My hubby hunts and here in the south we only get white tail deer. Ive learned to cook Vinson and my family prefers my tenderloin over filet mignon and you are right when Vinson is cooked right it is like butter!!!! Thanks Brooke you are my hero
nice love it!
i ordered my bag last night ... thank you for the code... i gave the code to my sister in case she wanted to order... i love your videos... and watch each one when they come out!!
So good to watch this video Brooke, I learn a lot from you!! My husband bought me a fire starter necklace with feather's a beautiful gift from you for Christmas. I absolutely love it!!
Thank you , now I can make bees wax candles. I did get outside today and was happy. The temp here in my part of KY was 61 all Sun all day! Praise God!! I was only able to walk around the yard but, it sure felt great.
wow 61!!!
Love that little radio. The antenna broke off, but all else is fine.
We put clove oil, vanilla extract, lemon oil, whatever smell you like, in our tapers. House always smelled great. Even with farty old dogs!
It would be nice to see an enactment, using the bugout bag... and getting new supplies for it
Tampons and kotex make amazing bandages for deep wounds. Should have saran wrap in that kit as well.
I am definetly going to save this. I have always wanted to know how to can. I love canned venison the best, besides the backstraps. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Learned a lot. Loved smelling the candle. I have the food back up, organized January and February watching Covid and thinking hmmmm uh-ohhhhh. You are such a great teacher! Thanks so much❤️❤️.
Had to compliment you on one comment. You said that home is the best place to be, but a bug-out bag is important for those cases where you have to leave for one reason or another. And that it needs to include the things that would help you get to a place of safety. Bravo for saying that. Far too many people advise "bugging out" for pretty much any reason. That's not the idea. Bugging out means leaving a place of safety (normally safe, but no longer), and making your way to another place of safety (prepared in advance). That journey between the places of safety is necessarily "not safe" by definition if nothing else. A bug-out bag should help you traverse that "not safe" area between the two "safe" areas, and help you get settled in the new safe area.
Of course, that second place of safety has to be ready for your arrival during inauspicious times.
Yay, ordered my backpack. Going to make a fire starter kit to add to it. Already have the first aid kit, thanks for the discounts! :) You make everything look pretty simple or at least, with a little elbow grease, way easier than thought of initially - I like that! Thank you!
awesome I think they're the best - yep get a good firestarter and good to go!
we have a pressure canner just like that and it works great ! We've been canning venison for years.
Like venison but never had it canned. Excited to see the wax candle making. Love your story!
Great video on preps. Thank you.
I had a canner exactly like yours 40 years ago!!
Hey Brooke! I've always wanted to learn how to do the pressure canning. Actually seen one at Walmart for the first time today since Covid has been around but had to get some other stuff instead. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be there the next time I go but not holding my breath on that. I'm definitely going to try making the beeswax candles. The Surviveware bug out bag was pretty cool. When you promoted the Surviveware First Aid Bag on a previous video a while back, I actually got one. I was very impressed with it. Great video as always Brooke. Take care and be safe. See you next time.
thanks julie yes they have THE BEST first aid kits and I think this bag is great too. if you want to do some canning get your supplies NOW before summer- last year you couldn't find anything! crazy
I love your bugout bag review. I just ordered one. I love how organized it is.
awesome yeah i think it's pretty great too! Thanks much :)
@@therealgirlinthewoods Thanks. I only wish Christmas was coming sooner than later. I want to give a couple as gifts to my family. If I wait until next Christmas, the whole world might just blow up by then..... Uuuugggg
I’ve never made candles ! Now I want too ! Love the smell of 🐝 bees wax candles.. I love survive ware
Great video, love survival-ware also. Thank you for the beeswax demo.
Something I likely have mentioned before might be quite useful at your new cabin, and at your site in the U.P.-Lodge makes a combo deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid, that is also on the inside a shallow skillet, with a handle like the deep lower part, Wagner used to call theirs a chicken fryer, that one had a conventional cover, I didn't get much use from it for quite a while, as it was bought for camping, and then I didn't get out for that very much, and not at all in the past 2 /2 years with medical adventures, covid lockdowns, etc, I have however started using it quite a lot atr home, the lid makes a terrific griddle for pancakes, etc once nicely seasoned, and is still deep enough for most any frying,I tried it finally the other day for an omlet, and it worked great -shake the pan and the eggs slid around nicely (I also have another shallowish lodge (chef series I think) that looks much like an omlet pan, gently rounded sides and all that also works greatr and is slightly deeper.
The set is most useful as besides a deep skillet, covered or not, a shallow skillet, it can also serve well as a shallow Dutch oven, making it a 3 in one, might be handy at the cabin and tent for its versatility -3 pans in the space of one, but far too heavy to backpack . I still see them at most larger Wal,arts- in the camping section-just a thought you might find useful.
Great video Brooke! Thank you for the shoutout! We very much appreciate it! Our girls talk about you at least four or five times a day still! Lol
You are so welcome! So happy for you guys and happy to have met you all :)
Oooh! I'm loving your new tattoo Brooke! Can't wait to see the whole thing when it's tank top weather!💜👍
Nice memories when my grandma was canning all the veggies and fruits that was not consumed immidiatly from her garden.
I've seen movies with the heroines name being Edna. My mother's name is Edna(which she hates btw) but never have I ever seen an Edna kitty. Love it💓
lol nice
I have my moms canner just like this , I have been caning for yearsss thanks for the update
Awesome video, Brooke, lots of great information. Thanks so much for sharing!
That's why you pressure can! You cook the meat first.
In Newfoundland we put it in a 2-4 hour water bath canning. If it doesn't have much fat, we add fat at the beginning.
That results in canned meat with a layer of fat on top for extra protection.
I found your channel by accident during the frozen tundra blizzard of '21 we had here in Texas. I have been addicted to your videos ever since. I love the red coat with the black stripes !!! Could you tell me where I might buy one? You are such an inspiration !!!!
Aloha !Great vid. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your life.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You have been so uplifting to me. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad!
Reminds me of all the work my mom did canning salmon and veggies! ✝️👍🏼
Like always amazing video. Thank you for the great content. I have never caned in the older model caners with the flipper thingy ( totally a technical term ) I use the one with the radler and gauge. 100% agree with you. There is nothing quite like canned venison.
Another great one! I love canning venison in my All American canner which is made in Wisconsin! It’s great with mushrooms and gravy on rice, on wide egg noodles, etc. cool 72 hour pack as well. I’m a safety nut and personally I put my hair back or up to avoid the singe. Burnt hair smells so bad!!
I can my elk meat every year. It's so good! Canned meat is perfect for so many dishes. I even can ground elk meat minus the fat. I'm into prepping. Wish I could find beeswax. Love the candle making!
