Don’t sleep on her other new channel, The Farmer’s Table:
https://www.youtube.com/@The_Farmers_Table
Sign up for her emails and you’ll get notice of the occasional podcast. It’s produced with the same care for music cues and fades making it a calm listen. -
(more photos from the web. I think the one on the far left is the one attached to most of the stories concerning this).

A cursory scan says that 6, 9 and 11 might be available in some format on libgen. Odysee had a few, but that service is currently backed up. Internet Archive might yield some with some digging.

And Jack Spirko looks at Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town” (timed to start up on this topic from a show I enjoyed hearing) https://youtu.be/Znw4sdK3h0Q?t=4746

THANK YOU! I just came from FB Where the local Homesteader Group had posted this. She says that as soon as she saw it she went to her cabinet and found 4 percent vinegar. A great way to destabilize the home canned food supply of independent minded folks.

“Homestead Happenings” is one Holler’s “Farm Report” which usually happens 9:30, 10:30 Central time Fridays. The one currently going on is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t5HgocPx3w
A little about growing stuff, a little bit about raising creatures, a little bit about homesteading, a little bit about building community, a whole lot about life and freedom. If you’re Here, or Planning To Move Here, a good practical contact. and questions in ALL CAPS are encouraged. -
(Disclaimer: I am just another member) The forum is somewhat of a small island right now, and therefore there has been a a reluctance expressed any alternative to the [“Fire Hose”/Non Selective] nature of the incoming notifications.
My practice has become, that I log on once a day-ish. I check my incoming messages, Then I scroll through the first five or so notifications. Then, I go to a couple of specific forums to see if I can contribute to any new discussions there that may or may not have made it to the big notifications queue at all.
Maybe as this grows, allowing filters will not deprive the smaller forums and non-followed members of interaction.

Agreed. You don’t want Zinc Poisoning, Nor do you want to burn the zinc off these tanks and remove years off their life.

Oh, that looks like a good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-3uDm9O0PA

Yeah. I’m trying to make it something like that in my head. It’s just one of a series of anecdotes that, on this video at least, comes out of the blue and then we get on to the next Thing, without explanation. There are some grainy old tapes of him floating out there where I remembering him staying much more on topic. And the text he wrote is good, information dense on the subject at hand.

Mollison: “Stones, stones? What about stone houses? Yeah. We all know about them and uh, your grandmother’s told you this:
“A lot of times, people who live in stone houses shouldn’t throw glasses.
“Well the Scots would say, stone houses not for vodka drinkers.
“Stone houses are notoriously fire prone. And in the uh, ‘67 fires they all burnt down in Hobart.
“Brick was next because they conduct heat so rapidly inside.
And wood (houses), I am pleased to say, have much higher survival, Six times better than stone or brick.”Woman: “Why? Why is that?”.
Mollison: “Have you tried to light wood? Sit there blow puff puff puff, another bit of newspaper and God the bloody stuff Will not light you know, you know that. It’s not, not if it was out of wood. A white painted wooden house has the higher survival of any, anything the wild fire…Yeah it conducts heat very fast, it’s cheap though.
“I used to do, I love rammed earth, it’s cheap. It doesn’t matter if it burns down, you know, you can always, you know, dig the house up and ram it again.”

I mean, it’s blasphemy to question Mollison. A podcaster I’ve listened to has all but elevated him to Patron Saint Status. However, and to your point, this one does have its share of political incorrectness/dirty grandpa type elements, and what I believe to be outrageous whoppers as anecdotes.

The gateway to the udemy course is here:
https://www.udemy.com/course/permaculture-design-course/
It routinely goes on sale for under twenty dollars–patience will have it for less than the sixty or seventy list price. I have not found the analog of this particular lecture on any of the free sites. The old grainy vhs lectures from Mollison I’ve seen elsewhere are decidedly more staid than these I’m encountering. -
Especially to you, but to NonaLee as well: Do you know of a place where Daikon Radish Seed is sold bulk, by the scoop, sort of thing? There has to be some middle ground between buying burlap sacks of the stuff and getting eight seeds in a four dollar packet from a big box store.
Our farm is a little to the East of you, I’m sensing.

😣 We are being ground down from all sides.
