Raising chickens

https://www.backyardchickens.com/

I think I'll just use my private property I don't need no commies or blacks stealin my foood

so many rooms now and still no #tradworer for shitposting

@Commander Davis (TWP)

Ya, I would stick to my own land, but the notion is still intriguing.

HOLY SHIT

A channel I can get behind

All berffed frum da erff

This is the best book I have on the topic

Highly recommended

Noice!

I was raising a bunch of animals the past few year, but kept having issues with dogs.

Im just gonna do a massive garden this year, and maybe do a couple pigs again.

@Fash Dragon

Can u get that book on pdf?

I could try to find it. It's more of an encyclopedia than anything

See I'm a forester and homesteading is a major hobby of mine

I would be happy to share my different recipes if there's a way to do so in an organized fashion

Nice!

As well as some general redneck engineering

This is literally my bathroom sink

Meat is murder

I raised meat rabbits for a couple years...I will say it made me sad when I had to kill em...felt better once they were in muh belly

How much land you on?

A bit over a acre (cleared), but I have a few more acres of woods that are at my disposal

@John Mosby Rabbit meat?

I don't know if that will give you a lot of meat.....

I'm coming down on the 17th. Would you permit me to take a tour of the property? I could show you a couple wild food sources if you like

Unless you've got one of the giant ones the size of a dog.

@Dangerlurking

Ya, Rabbit meat is one of the best meats there is...super high in protein, and their poop is the BEST for composting (u technically dont even have to compost it, as it is so clean).

@Fash Dragon

Most definitely

U can crash at my place, too, if u want

wish I could come down

@John Mosby I was hoping so!

@Dangerlurking

I was raising Californian Rabbits, and u actually get a decent amount of meat off of them.

You pretty much kill the kits, as soon as they ween, which will net u a bit of meat, but if u kill a few, then that is plenty for a stew that will last a few days...cleaning rabbits takes only a few minutes, too

Yhea, I doubt you can feed a whole group with just rabbit meat.

https://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/04/16/how-to-field-dress-and-butcher-a-rabbit/

That's the first time I have seen discord censor an image.

It just depends how many u raise...the term "fucking like rabbits" doesn't just come outa nowhere.

I started with 3 breeding pairs, and could hardly keep up with all the babies they produced, and keep producing at a constant rate.

Which brings into issue the food supply for them.

I put them in a rabbit tractor, and they just ate my grass...no money required to feed em.

In a what?

https://thefrugalchicken.com/diy-rabbit-tractor/

Really? I thought you would have had to gotten something like hay.

A bit in the winter, cuz the grass grows slowly, but I let my grass grow super long, before winter hits, so I have an abundant supply during the slowest growing months.

I would be concerned about them getting drenched in freezing cold water if you let them out during the winter.

I say to feed all the rabbits, I probably spent less than $100 a year (I supplemented them with some hay and pellets during the winter).

I covered the top with a tarp.

Winter is no problem for them...the summer can be a bitch...I lost a few to flies one year

Yhea, flies are naturally attracted to shit, and they shit like nothing on earth.

Ya, I would move the cage a couple times a day, and collect the shit for the garden, after I moved it.

What got my rabbits is when they had babies one time, the flies got to em before I knew they were getting attacked.

https://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/livestock/homestead-hacks-diy-rabbit-tractor-zm0z16djzmar

Wait, have you tried setting up fly net's around the cages so they can't get to them?

I never did...

Mate what the fuck.

I only had a problem one time, out of over 2 years.

That's like being asked to be eaten alive by flies and mosquito's.

Nah, they generally did fine.

We dont have many mosquitoes here...if u live somewhere with a bunch of em, then u probably would need to put up a net.

Yhea, I do.

We also get tons of ticks that have a fairly good chance of having lyme disease as well.

We get ticks sometimes, but the rabbits seemed to be pretty resistant to them...I rarely found ticks on them, and I would handle them all the time, to keep em docile.

During the late summer, and all of fall, the ticks are EVERYWHERE in west NYS.

That sucks...I freaking HATE ticks...the worst are chiggers, though

Chiggers?

Little bugs that get under your skin...they are the WORST

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombiculidae

I don't think we get them here.

Thank God we dont get em here, either.

I got em BAD in Missouri before, though

"They are not present, or barely found, in far northern areas" HAH.

I'd never live anywhere those things are prolific...they definitely came from to bowels of Hell.

I woulden't doubt that if you purposefully went out into the swamp and dug through all of the mush and dirt in there you could find a few, but they are only prevalent in tropical and very moist area's, which we don't get in NYS.

The only time it get's extremely moist around here is during the summer before a big thunderstorm strikes.

It gets pretty wet here, but we are lucky to not really have em.

Even when I lived in Houston we didn't have them

Who know's, they might become more prevalent as time goes on.

DONT SAY THAT

They will hear u

Ticks were fairly uncommon here, but soon the population exploded and they became very prevalent.

We had a BAD tick problem last year, but we generally dont get them much

I remember I had maps from the CDC that showed the tick population from like 2012 to now, and it shows how much the tick population has grown.

Ill tell u what are spreading across the States, bad, are freaking fire ants.

Fire ants?

Sounds like an arizona, california, and texas thing.

They are making their way across the states...they are now popping up in TN.

@John Mosby you got armadillos there yet?

We got them down in SoIL

@John Mosby I doubt they will make up to NYS though, the climate is too hostile for them.

The species migration is the only thing that really makes me wonder about global warming

It has happened all the time and will continue to do so.

@Fash Dragon

We had a TON in TX, but haven't seen any in East TN.

@John Mosby Tell me about the fire ants.

@Dangerlurking

Scientists have said that fire ants will make it all the way up to Alaska, as they are so resistance to the elements.

SHIT.

I knew this hippie that had a theory that the dillas weren't actually moving north and that it was just a conspiracy by the truckers to trick people

https://io9.gizmodo.com/5769731/how-fire-ants-invaded-north-america-then-the-world-in-just-a-few-decades

@Fash Dragon Did you tell him to shove a boot up his ass?

Shiiiieet

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

My good friend's neighbor was riding his tractor through his field and flipped it onto a fire ant hill, and got pinned...they ate him alive.

Literally?

Yerp...they actually kill more people than u'd think...mostly kids and people who are allergic, but that was a crazy case.

They were everywhere in Houston...got bit on almost a daily basis.

Holy shit.

TWP we homesteadin' again?

Permaculture is the best culture

Would anyone here be interested in me posting some of my herbal tea and tincture recipes in here in a PDF?

Drop that shit nibba

Granted I live in an area with absolutely no real vegetation that isn't SUCCulent or shrub

Cactus tea fam

Aloe

Mesquite

Prickly pear

Aloe isn't native here. It's Junipers, Pancake Cactus, Jumping Cactus, and Oak brush.

Oh and Spanish Bayonets/Yucca

You guys have cedars there?

Do you know the species?

Utah Junipers make up the majority of trees out here. There's a mountain range with a ton of Pinyon Pines near me. Flagstaff has cedars and aspens and such.

We also have Joshua's and Ocotillo

Gay desert shit

The Virgin woodlands VS The Chad Desert

It's actually a high semi-arid region on the Koppen Climate index

We even have Tundra in Arizona 🤔🤔🤔🤔

And the snowiest city in America outside of Alaska

I can't hear you over my HIGH CARRYING CAPACITY

>Not weeding out the weak trough dehydration and sunstroke

feels bad man

Fucking havasu \

Don't worry fam. We're gonna take Arizona for the TWP and make it into rich farm land so we can E A T

@John Mosby Mushrooms are not really my thing, but if I am in a survival situation, I would not turn them down unless they made me sick from eating them.

Even if u don't like to eat them (I personally love em), they are very profitable to sell, and they are great for composting.

https://www.profitableplantsdigest.com/growing-japanese-maples-for-profit/

http://www.hobbyfarms.com/9-great-mushrooms-to-grow-for-market-3/

@Dangerlurking you probably should turn them down, especially in a survival situation. Mushrooms are harder than other plants to correctly identify, so they're dangerous unless you study them/grow them yourself

I almost tried growing P. Cubensis in my closet to make some extra cash

I know the profit margins on THOSE were a bit extreme 😉 i dunno how it is with legal mushrooms

@Vice Commander Hunt I meant if I KNOW if they are safe.

Growing some stuff there?

not yet, still too snowy

eventually though. They have a 5+ year shelf life

Nice.

Hmm, this makes me wonder, why not construct a greenhouse?

I would be interested looking to it

I mean, it could make farming easier, and you could do it year round, rather than in the warmer half of the year.

Aquaponics greenhouses my dude, most efficient way to do it

Tl;dr on aquaponics, it's combining hydroponics with fish farming. The fish add nitrogen to the water, gets cycled back through the plants. Almost entirely self-sufficient. You can grow duckweed to feed the fish too. Boom, high efficiency gardening using raised beds to maximize sq footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETE3muY6mYo

Can you really use that for 3 square meals a day?

Yeah they’re good for a lot actually

I almost started one with my ex

Aquaponics OP

Just looked into buying a home

Dude nice

Good luck

It'll be a while

Yeah same

Its got a fence

So I can garden

Despite it being in town

Nice!

Garden is a must

Keep farm fresh eggs for a whole year with this method.

chickens HATE this guy

Find out how I preserved all my eggs with this one CRAZY trick

Yeah the way I wrote that does seem like one of those shitty online ads.

Lol

GROW T U R N I P S

I have done that before actually in a suburban environment. Its a very easy and low maintenance crop.

I tried growing crops and I ended up shooting a rabbit that ate said crops in rage... so I had rabbit for dinner, lol.

Very chad.

Based

Very based

Growing veggies to catch protein

wranglestar is the shit

I just got tired of the fucker eating my crops

I watched his videos and decided I was going to be a homesteader, I got 6 acres of woods in spring city

Best part about turnips is turnip greens

The first person to call me a nigger is gonna catch these hands

cut through the forest and was like fuck this

now i just go there to shoot guns

@Fuhrerious if you need a fella to work your land I know a guy pretty skills in forest ecosystem management

He's our guy too

@Rock Be careful on eating rabbit. You're probably good rn but in warmer months they have worms

I guess I'm wrong

http://www.unluckyhunter.com/2011/07/myth-or-fact-are-summer-rabbits-safe-to.html

If you cook it good that wouldn't be an issue right?

Regardless of whether or not it's true

The worm eggs would most likely die, but would you stomach picking the worms out?

Worms is apparently rather false
