Really good yield on those vines!
Yes, it was a great day of foraging. 🌞
I’m making this tonight
@Heather_goes_to_rehab You can do it. This recipe is so easy 😋
I’m trying to get a little delivery of these
@@Heather_goes_to_rehab This batch turned out super good! 😄
The wilderness has always been my shelter and my place to find serenity..it is good medicine. Great video and you are right there is nothing better then a walk in the woods!
@@hikewithmike4673 I agree that nature offers us so much serenity. Thanks for the kind comment. Enjoy each day 😊
Hello!! I hope you have a wonderful day!! I hope the jelly tastes good, too!! Those grapes look awesome!!
@phantomartist7396 Thank you. The grapes are somewhat sour, but they make one of the best jellies you will ever taste. ☺️
Very nice video,relaxing,I like...☺❤
@Ferrari-vu6bj Thank you. A walk in nature is good for the soul ✨️

It looks very relaxing
Yes, nature is peaceful and relaxing.
,, Огласите весь список пожалуйста и с переводом,,.
@@marskartbaev1108 Thanks for watching.
Having a little carb fest, are we?
Yes! Definitely not on the Keto diet.
Is it good? 😮
Yes, I know it sounds weird because we think of beans in savory dishes, but this pie is very good. Close to a pecan pie flavor.
Oh, I was wondering what vomit tasted like!
@kayceegreer4418 Live a life of adventure. Don't be afraid to try new things.😊 It tastes like pecan pie 🥧
no way😅
@divorce_s It won a cooking contest sweepstakes. 😋 Give it a try 👍
I never have and never well!!
@raincloud934 Maybe you have, and no one told you what was in it 🤔
@@Keywestcountry nope I know what I eat, and at my house I've done all the baking for 46 years. And I taught my daughters too so I know what's in there stuff also. As far as eating out I damn sure know what I'm ordering 😅😅🤣. Not a chance I've eaten this concoction 🤣✌️✌️
@@raincloud934 I double Dog dare you to try it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Taste like pecan pie 🥧
I’ve had navy bean pie, but never this 😋
@@catesj15 Probably similar in taste. Give it a try 🙂
Horrible!
@JWP452 Sooo... Your afraid of a pie 🥧 with beans in it? Thanks for taking the time to comment anyway. 🙂
GROSS. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It tastes a lot like pecan pie 🥧
I have those dollar store bowls
@@magnoliamoonbloom6473 I love them ❤️ They are so useful. Thanks for watching.
Man, thise qualudes really did a number for the american housewife.
@josiewilson2890 Not really sure what that means 🤔 But thanks for watching.
The whitest food. 🤦🏻♀️😭🫘
The pie crust technique was smooth 🎉👌
Thank you for the nice compliment 😊 It's the way my Mom always did it.
That's an interesting pie from an old recipe book🥧
It's so interesting and really delicious 😋
Looked like pear flesh. I'd like to try it!
It's pretty yummy 😋 Way sweeter than a pear.
I love tomatoes 😋
Me too! 🍅
Looks like you have the situation well in hand ☕️
Thank you for the nice compliment 😊
I was always told growing up you cannot live off rainwater alone
Rain can be low on minerals, especially after filtration. Maybe the bird 🐦 poop on the roof makes up for it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But isn’t it acid rain from the hole in our ozonelayer?😂😂😂😂
Of course it is 🤣🤣 but I'm living on the edge. 💧
Hey, how do you keep your rain barrel clean and free of micro organisms, that might be bad for your body. Do you need to boil it first? Then drink? Did bird fly in there or some kind of bug fly in there and die. This is most important good to have like a screen. stainless steel screen on top of the barrel. But still you know what I mean, must be careful?All it takes is one time. I hear copper screens or copper will kill some bacteria and viruses. That's why the door nobs were made of copper. Don't want to be sitting on the throne of regret.
Hi 👋, thank you for your questions. They are the same questions I had. To answer a couple: there is a screen on top to keep bugs 🐛 out. We have upgraded the filter, but I did drink from the small household filter with no ill effects. The barrel is in the shade to reduce algae, and it is recommended that you remove and sterilize it once a year. This is a learn as you go. 😊
That company just admitted their filtration system didn’t work
What company? We have a discussion going on 3 different filters.
No they didn't, that was an outside study.
@@adventuress904 are you referring to the Zero filter?
I don't think that filtration system on pitcher is safe enough. Usually you use those pitchers after water has gone threw community filtration and chlorine system
Hi, thank you for your comment. I did use this and did not have any I'll effects but have upgraded to the Uzima one micron system. 😊 I will research the Zero system recommended by a fellow subscriber also.
Get a better filter system "Zero water"
What's better than a zero water and don't say Berkey?
Currently, I have upgraded to a Uzima filter system. It is a one micron filter. Thanks for your comment 👍
@@shekharmoona544 Berkeys are trash!
@Keywestcountry I guarantee Zero water outperforms that filter system hands down!
@@landlockedcruiser I will research the Zero system. Thanks 😊
Christina pumped about some rain water
It is exciting 💧
I need some everglade tomatoes!
They are amazing and very prolific. I can hook you up with some plants.
Asking if rain water is safe.... should be asking that question about tap water with fluoride and chlorine in it.
I hear what you're saying about municipal water supplies. 💧 Filtered rainwater certainly tastes better. 😊
It falls from the heavens ❤😊
Yes, it does ❤️
It’s not safe unless you’ve had to pay for it. What you are doing is illegal because the state and government aren’t being paid. Shame on you 😂. PS. I love my rain water too
Love your thoughts ❤️ I'm on board.
Bros trying to be different💀
Yep
It’s not safe unless it’s filtered
It is 🙂 thank you.
Don't do it. Instant diarrhea.
🙂 It was my first concern, but I survived. I will be upgrading to a 1 micron filtration system as I move forward. Thank you for your comment.
The water pitcher has a filter system so its good to me. Im sure the water coming out peoples taps are worse than what she's drinking.
Basically, I feel the same. The water tasted great, and I had no ill effects. Thanks for standing up for me. 👍
not just our taps but the spout itself is hideous most people don't look under..
Go put it under a microscope..... put some on some plastic and let it evaporate ..... take what's left and get out a magnet... that's the least of it..... TAKE THE WATER AND LIOK UNDER MICROCOPE
I don't have a microscope, but I do have a one micron filter. I've drank much worse while backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. 👣
@@Keywestcountry luv ya!!
No its NOT SAFE
I'll be okay 👍
Them filters are pretty good
@@davebryan1890 yes get some good filters
@@Keywestcountry have you looked under th4 microscope?
Mmmm pvc micro plastics
It's supposed to be a food safe drum. The PVC pipes are for the overflow.
No rain water isnt safe anymore. Too many shit sprayed into the atmosphere nowdays and no im not talking chemtrails or conspiracy
I hear ya. Not much is safe anymore. Thanks for your thoughts. 🙂
One of Jesus predictions was acid rain is coming do you think that filer can change the acid rain to clean drinking water ?
I hope so 🙏
pfos will give you cancer
Yep probably.. I'm doing my best to live healthy and have a small footprint. 👣
Been on rain for 3 years. The baths are phenomenal.
Thanks for the encouragement. Cisterns have been around for ages. I'm with you, though, who doesn't like to shower in the rain. ☂️
@@Keywestcountry We use an 800 gallon stainless milk tank left here at the barn, one five gallon bucket elevated to capture, goes through a stainless perforated grid into the bucket, and flows into the tank from an outlet screened with nylon screen for windows, down a 2 inch pipe. From there filter to what one desires, just use the Light filters before drinking. Any animal will choose rain water over tap water if given the choice. That is a fact.
Sounds like a good system. I'm just getting started with rain collection. I'm still working out the details. Thank you for sharing your setup.
That black net should be great for keeping the larger bugs out of it.
I also have a small strainer on top of the black net that is a finer mesh. Hopefully, I'm keeping out the small bug's too. ☺️
Maybe even better if you can get the water from closer to the top?
Hi KY, Thank you for that suggestion. ☺️ Our plan is to eventually use a 1 micron filtration system (the 3rd design). we are worried there won't be enough head pressure at the top, so the plan is to pull the water from the center of the barrel. 💧
Washes the bird turds off the dusty smokey roof should be fine🪶
🤣🤣🤣 good thing pigs 🐖 don't fly.
Mystery solved!!
Who knew a tiny organism or wasp can create something so amazing 🌼
