40+ years of homesteading, prepping included, and homeschooling, herbal medicine, nursing, special ed teaching, BSA scoutmaster, livestock, and so much more. My parents grew up in the Great Depression, and they raised me to handle the next one...

My adult children wanted to put me on youtube. I agreed so they have something to look back on when I'm gone. I didn't realize others out there would find me and enjoy the simple videos we create.

We're not glitzy. I don't have a fake kitchen that always looks pristine. I don't have a perfect barn or garden. I don't have all the new, fancy equipment that many youtubers have. I'm real and that means you get reality however it comes.

I do videos on what we do on our homestead, not what I found on other channels and regurgitated to bring in viewers - what you see on my channel is real content not taken from anywhere else. I've lived this life a long time, raised my 8 children this way, and never looked back.

Welcome and enjoy!
