Our 18 Acre Homestead Is Full Of Natural Resources

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

We are going off the grid and trying to become self sufficient on our new 18 acre homestead. We have mostly wild, forest land which is surrounded on all sides by State land.

Our land is loaded with resources which can help us on our path to becoming self sufficient.

On this day we were picking wild blueberries by the pound. It takes about an hour or two per pound, per person but they are so much worth it.

Part of becoming self sufficient is to work for your food rather than buy it.

And blueberries are so healthy for you. They are full of antioxidants and nutrients. And they are naturally organic since they grew in the wild untouched by man.

NOTE: You will likely notice a whole mess of filth and accusations in the comments below. These are trolls I had blocked on YouTube and found me here. They are on me like a disturbed hornets nest seeking revenge because I blocked them. Their harassment has extended into real life. Do NOT engage the trolls for your own safety.

Thank You

Now that looks like it will make the flavor for the pancakes i'm thinking of. OOOOOYYAAAAAAHHHHHH blueberry pancakes!!!!

My wife made blueberry sauce and canned it for our pancakes. It is SO good!!!

I need to eat it. I love to have blueberry pancakes

Come on over :)

I may have to do that some time.

Cool. We love having guests over here. It gets quiet here most of the time.

Great looking blueberries! Isn't is great when you see all that your land can provide! I love it!

Yes we love nature so much!

Not sure those are cranberries. They might be. A little google research might tell you as you compare leaf structure. Thanks for a great post!

Thanks. I am not so sure now. They are too dry inside to be of any use anyway.

Awesome! I haven't found blueberries here yet while foraging! Those are worth the work for sure :D

They are so good and healthy for you. We found even more on the nearby State land. You just sit and pick them in one place.

Awesome! Good job

Thanks :)

Wow. My little homestead is just prarie. Not much going on here

I love my home but not a stead just a solar powered home.

Don't be taken in by TR the monkey. Troy Reid, better know as TR, Trog, Leatherhead (because of his dirty stinking greasy old hat that he wears every place he goes even in the house) Turkey Head, Fruit Loops and more, is a full time ebegger, scammer and a fraud.
He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for only 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trogs story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.
Come on over, everyone is friendly, it's not the place Reids suckers make it out to be.

What time does todays Matinee on YouTube video start Troy the video you promised to enrage .sucks.
You could do with some good content, your channel seems to be circling the drain of late!

Nice new Stage Prop in today’s video, BTW!

Boy o boy you have nothing to do but fight a losing battle. When will you quit trying to hurt people? You see everything wrong with Troy but what I see is a sadist in you Reyort

You can hardly say that reporting tax evasion is sadist, it's those who condone it are the ones going to breath the fires of hell!

I won't have to worry about talking about people going to hell looks like you'll be the one thats showing up first or last or whenever it is you kick the bucket because you're definitely going to be the one there Molly dolly

YOU are just a filthy troll harassing my family.

Go away.

I think these people are hurting themselves and it somehow makes them feel better to hurt others.

Trog,
Why does Ming look so absolutely terrified when you raise your hand.
Beater are you Trog?

Here is the full, unedited video for comparison and to put things in the right context.

We were having fun.

But it shows the lengths you guys will go to in an attempt at turning people against me.

That's the video she freaked in at 8 seconds!

Will you please finally stop trying to harass my family.

I dont care what sort of photo you found or edited. Its like the tabloids when they take everything out of context.

Go away. Get a life.

Not edited Trog, a completely untouched clip from one of your little videos,
It’s no wonder you and your mates are sadist mad!

Makes you think how will they treat their wife

Phildip,
Will you be helping Trog in his forthcoming criminal investigation, after all you’re a little bit more than just business associates traveling all that way to spend cosy nights at the fairy meadow?
You could have been so happy you two, only for a certain Mellon Head!

Well, then again, most are probably not out of their parents basements.

Actually most are probably being beat by their wives.

Find something else to do. Get a life.

We have found something better to do Troy and that take you and your daily life videos off the internet.
Its past the point of no return, LOL!

I was going to vote your comment down but for one thing, I want the World to know what you guys are trying to do to me.

My wife and I make videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

This group of trolls who I originally blocked on YouTube have formed a group where they come together and plot against my life.

All because I blocked them. If you ask them what I ever did to them, most will say I blocked them. Thats it. That is the cause of the hate.

Instead of moving on, they are hell bent on destroying our lives online and in the real World.

Their website is full of hate and lies.

You can watch our videos and see a loving family trying to make our own way on our 18 acre homestead with very little help from the outside.

We are striving to become self sufficient, which means, contrary to what the trolls say, providing for our own needs as much as possible.

Now the trolls will most likely vote this comment into oblivion because I spoke up and told my side of the story.

They do not like it when I do that.

Let the viewer decide.

Wild blueberries that's great! We have persimmons,mulberries and several nut trees but blueberry would be marvelous to have. How wonderful for you!
Following

I love mulberries. I hope to plant one of them here next year. Put in hazelnuts too this year. Blueberries grow here by the acre.

Thanks.

Hazelnuts do sound good gosh all this talk about wild food sounds great

They are so good!!! I love foraging for edibles. Actually we later found wild hazelnuts on our property.

That is so great that you found that hope you can find some more cool stuff

Yeah. Thanks

Troy, this reminds me how of my the homestead I grew up on in Maine when we used to pick wild Blueberries and come home and wash them off and make a pie. We also made homemade blueberry pancakes too. They look like they will be good eating by the way.

Oh they are so good!!! We have some canned and some frozen. Muffins and pancakes are so good with real blueberries.

IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THE LORD , YOUR GOD ,AND DO NOT CAREFULLY FOLLOW ALL HIS COMMANDS AND DECREES, YOU WILL BE CURSED IN THE CITY AND CURSED IN THE COUNTRY . THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB WILL BE CURSED . THE CROPS OF YOUR LAND , THE CALVES OF YOUR HERDS , THE LAMBS OF YOUR FLOCKS .YOU WILL BE CURSED WHEN YOU COME IN , AND CURSED WHEN YOU GO OUT . THE LORD WILL SEND ON YOU CURSES, CONFUSION , AND REBUKE EVERYTHING YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO, UNTIL YOU ARE DESTROYED AND COME TO SUDDEN RUIN , BECAUSE OF THE EVIL YOU HAVE DONE IN FORSAKING HIM

I LOVE blueberries!!

They are so awesome!!
