I tried this last year and failed. ☹

We have started a handmade soap business called Hickory Ridge Handmade Treasures and the end goal is to quit our public jobs and work for ourselves. It can be found at https://twooldcrowshomestead/shop

Our daughters also sell wax melts and handmade jewelry there. We have also started breeding and raising pigs.

I watched the movie, Social Dilemma, a year or so ago. It goes in to detail how big tech manipulates everyone connected to any social media through those platforms (including email) using cell phones, computers, location apps, etc. It’s just crazy how invasive big tech is.

Some things I have heard that helps with the YouTube algorithm:

1. Like the video

2. Comment on the video with more than 4 words.

3. Reply to other people’s comments

4. Share the video on your social media.

All of those things will help to drive more traffic to their channel and get them into the algorithm which will them get YouTube to start “recommending” their channel to people who are not subscribers. There is probably more, this is just some things I have read about and heard.

I love this idea!

This is not a skill I feel like I am good at. I want to be fair but despite the monetary value of something, it may have a greater (or lesser) value to someone else depending on need. For example, I greatly value education. I am willing to pay or possibly trade more if someone can teach me a skill that is valuable to me. And again, that perceived value is different for everyone. This is definitely something I want to observe and possibly participate in. I also struggle with what to bring to the bartering table. I’m just not sure what people want.

I’m super curious about the system you talked about in your rabbit video that catches urine and rabbit poo separately to use in the garden. Could y’all talk about that tonight?

We remodeled our bathroom in our old house and there was a window in the shower. We put a frosted glass window in. It let all kinds of light into the bathroom without having to worry about someone seeing in.

They have been having issues because they changed the name. If you can’t find them under that name, try The Sovereign Village Project.

Great ideas. Thanks!
