Josiah is such a good kid. Don’t lose sight of his passion once Jonah makes his way back. I think Josiah getting this praise and a place in your limelight has been so important to this giant growth step for him.
All children need time to shine. It’s important. It’s also important to remind them when they’re down after experiencing failure or not winning or placing-that others need their time to shine, too. And they’ll have plenty of opportunities throughout life to shine, again.
100% agree. Jonah is SO capable that I think sometimes Josiah gets lost in the background because he's quiet. But he is a brick! I hope that Justin remembers that and gives him more responsibility even after Jonah gets back on the wagon.
Your sons are taking "ownership" of their property due to their active daily responsibilities. You always hear their suggestions & often try them. Jonah looks eager to resume his normal life on the farm. You & Rebecca make me proud. Lovely Family.💕
It seems to me Josiah is the quiet one and he probably has had more thoughts about the farm/animals than you realize, he just verbalized it to you. The quiet ones will stay in their comfort zone of silence when another sibling takes the lead in a family. If there is anything positive with Jonah's accident it is that Josiah's capabilities and intelligence are shining, very proud of him, Lily as well! Be mindful of that when Jonah is back at work, you are fortunate to have hard working children. Hoping Jonah is back feeling healthy again soon! Blessings Jan
My guess is Josiah and Jonah talk together all the time. And then Jonah takes the ideas to Justin. Also. Gooood luck with Gideon. He is for certain the wild card.
The injury to his older brother has given Josiah the chance to grow in his own way..Not that he wasn't before but this is great to hear you talk about and praise him.
You are an inspiration to me. After Covid I’ve been dealing with adrenal fatigue and still have to try to help my hubby with our little farm. And it’s so hard. But I watch your channel and know I’m not alone in my health journey. Thank you for your videos. Love them
Sorry for your pain and suffering. Prayers for you and your family. Deep gratitude for the distraction and entertainment from this Floridian in the wake of Hurricane Ian. 🌀🙏🙏❤️
To keep chickens in the coup run and prevent aerial attacks we put 8 foot 2x4’s for posts, plastic water bottles on top of wood and 50x100’ netting over the top and sides. Zip ties to secure it and 16 years later still excellent!
@@LianaHappens To much fasting, can mess up the good bacteria in your gut. And allow bad bacteria that is drug resistant to grow. As well as cause a tear in your gut. As well as lose of vitamins, minerals into deficiency. Don't over do fasting.
I always thought I couldn’t have animals because I live on a town street, but I finally got my first 4 chickens and built my own coup after watching your videos for 4 years now, your living my dream🐓🐮🐷
I'm gonna be frank, we were in a season where I couldn't garden for the last six months, and watching homesteading videos just mad me SAD. So I stopped watching you, and Jess, and Doug... All the homestead folks. I mean, I deeply care about Jonah (our kids are all the same ages), but I'm back to working outside and watching homestead channels is helpful and encouraging again. Happy to be back, love you guys ❤️
I had to take off this summer because of cancer surgery and treatments and recovery. I got so far behind it is not funny. But I didn't stop watching videos on farming because it gave me hope I would get past this mess my body is in. Next year I will have twice the garden. Videos gave me hope to look forward to.
If I get straight out of bed I walk like a 90-year-old (I'm only 70). I've started exercising before getting up (if there's time before getting to the bathroom) and it makes a big difference. Motion really IS lotion, and Mr. Googlepants has lots of suggestions of exercises one can do lying in bed.
Yeah rotating your feet get blood moving. I had this issue for many yrs but has stopped not sure what i did. Maybe tablet for another health issue has helped. Im 52 now
Josiah is able to shine because usually Jonah, as the oldest, steps in to do the chores. Now he is the oldest until Jonah heals. They are both fine, responsible young men.
Ran into a tip on fridge bulk stalking might help. Everytime you put somthing in write w dry erase marker what it is. Of you take something out just wipe w your finger. They also had a printed page and taped it inside a laminated sheet protector. Also could hold your marker so you don't lose it
One of my most favorite things to see with my children.. now young adults (25,23 and 21) was and still is seeing their relationships develop with each other they are all close still 🙂 and my girls.. the younger two, are best friends ♥️
I am loving these longer videos!! 🙏 I've been an avid viewer of your chanel for years now and it makes me weirdly proud. 😁😅 Your family and farm land reminds me of my childhood, which I dearly adore. Keep it up! I love you all and only wish you the best.
Justin, Calling JUSTIN..... have the egg gatherer count how many eggs were gathered every day.. and write it on the calendar! Then at lunch/dinner ask the count for the day... our eggs are gathered every day at 1!
A suggestion for your alfalfa meal…..add some water and make it a porridge consistency. Slower eating than pellets and less waste than eating it dry. The farm is looking good. 😊
We love watching anything you put out. I watch to see what’s up and to learn something. Chickens and gardening are my thing and I will be following your journey ❤
Justin you and Rebecca make me so proud of you as parents. And Farm/Homestead parents. The way you treat and care for your children is so awesome! You actually listen to them and their suggestions, and you praise them all the time. You don't go off on them if they forget something or make a mistake! ❤️💙🙏🙏. Thank you for being you, but thank you also for raising such great young people! God bless 🙏🙏🤗🤗
Hi Justin We found horse panel fence to work best for chickens on our homestead. Small squares to prevent jumping through and taller. We even had goat kids jump through the large squares on graduated panels.
Interesting video with a lot of different stuff going on. Josiah is growing and getting a greater appreciation for the farm. I love the way you are heaping praise on him. It's great to see Jonah coming along in his recovery, gaining more independence. Gideon needs a little more encouragement to step up - perhaps he's feeling a little overshadowed by his big brothers. It was wonderful to hear what he said about his relationship with Henry, shows he is really watching Jonah and Josiah and he wants to have a connection like theirs.
Your children remind me of when mine were young. They were wonderful helpers around our little farm. Now they are grown…..one still helps a lot because he lives right next door to me. We have around 30 chickens,14 ducks,30 quail,10 pheasants,and honey bees. Big garden. This year is my first time trying a winter garden. I live in 8b Covington Georgia
Put Bengay on your feet bottom & toes mostly before bed and clean socks, white cotton is better..Also on your back...OR diclofenac gel is sold right by the Bengay does not have a oder....you will not have the feet issues when you wake up...PS just so you know, I suffer the same as you, plus I had 4 spine surgeries...
I hope you feel better soon, Justin. Lyme disease is nasty. I love to see your kids, they are so sweet and Henry with feeding himself, is adorable. Love from Canada ❤️🇨🇦
Dear Justin, I had the same issue. Turned out to be poor bile drainage. Researched for medicinal herb remedies and found Cichorium intybus... AND, it happened to grow right on our farm! Started digging out the roots and eating them (after rinsing and scrubbing with a metal dish scrubber) 1/2 inch pieces with each meal. The problem was gone in a couple of days!
My dad said that to me once "You did really well, I am so proud of you, you work so hard" and I was sure he was being sarcastic because I was at the fence talking to the neighbors daughter all the time he thought I was checking on the sheep. I told him years later and he just smiled.
Jonah is such a big part of the farm and homestead, and loved by everyone who watches your channel. I am continuing to pray for him that he heals completely and whole, and can’t wait to see him back out working next to you again. He is such amazing young man and got such a wonderful personality and is very quite, but when he speaks he has wonderful and brilliant ideas of doing things differently that is easier. Josiah is really starting to take interest in the farm since Jonah has been down, and hearing him starting to see more pasture land on the farm, and know it’s there is amazing. I hate how bad your body has been feeling until you started fasting for three days, and start feeling better, it just proved your body does have the power to heal itself. I want to try this and see if my body can start feeling better in my feet from my neuropathy.
I am in Minnesota and been here all my life (28 years) lol 36 is cold when it was just summer but over the winter months 36 does get to T shirt weather 😉
Carver County here, our kids are frolicking in 36° temps come March. 😄 I grew up in California and remember how cold mid 30s felt all those years ago coming to Minnesota.
@@mickelsonfamilyhomestead honestly, the humidity took much longer to get used to. I grew up on the ocean, so humidity is never an issue when it's warm. Summers here can be brutal!
Justin put cattle panels from one side of the front fence to the other like a high tunnel you can still walk into. An chicken mesh it as well. Good luck.
to fortify you could also cover the top with a net, supported by a few poles in the middle to make it high enough. That's what I did to my run. Mostly because of avian flu related restrictions, but I've also never had a chicken get out so far.
Chain link fence without the top on, or chicken wire will keep chickens in, but a fence like yours with a top on it, gives them a place to land and they will get out. A wobbly fence with no “top” is best of the chickens 😊at least in my experience.
4"x2" woven wire horse fence is the stuff you need to keep those chickens in. RedBrand makes it either 48 or 60" tall. I've been using 48" tall and it works well.
Something that might help is to try some customized shoe inserts or shoes/ boots... that really fit your feet perfect.....your feet can ache like every bone is broken if your footwear is off...(even though the shoe might feel O.K)....as much as you are on your feet....that's the first place to treat yourself well. At least it could not hurt to start there. You are worth a new set of winter footwear. These could also affect your posture and your back. Healing thoughts.
Again fantastic vlog love how it’s always exactly how it’s happening and how many times you show how to adapt on the fly my dad taught us get a solution might not be perfect but it is what it is. Your family also showing what you have shown them by forward thinking that’s so amazing ❤️❤️❤️Thank you for sharing your life and family with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️love how I always learn something every time 😍
And congratulations to Justin for making the 72 hours! There have been a few times for me that seemed easy peasy, and I tend to set it in my mind that 72 hours is simple. But more of the time it's freakin' HARD! So - Way to Go Justin!
I would highly recommend you trying Sensory Deprivation Tank Therapy for a week and see how you feel or if you can pin point where the pain is coming from.
Love your last three thumb nail. LOL HAHAHAHA HULARIOUS. Sorry you are in pain. I neuropathy only hands and feet. I have even bought a faux silky sheep skin rug. Feels good on my feet when I first stand up in the Am.
If you look back through the ages. People had to grow their own food or trade for it. If they did not have any veggies, fruit meat in stocks, they went with out. We can eat every day, all day. We need to fast, at least an 8 hours period. Your stomach needs the rest along with your whole body. I find if I do a short fast daily or 2nd daily, I feel better. I live in constant nerve damage pain, daily. I try to do something to help my body, fasting, short periods and long, does help .....
Need to make one of them metal bike stands for bikes and motorbikes. . Put logo on pavement with some stripes maybe and hooks for helmets beside bike. So fun!
Your looking great brother 👊 Keep it up! I too changed. I fast 7 days a month, and only eat carnivore/ketovore. Been doing this for 18 months now, not going to ever stop. Its magic.
There is a essential oil called Deep Blue. It is fantastic. Give it a try before bed on your feet & hands. It comes in stick, lotion, roll on oil, and gel caps for internal. It’s a game stopper.
Maybe use some cattle panels or other fencing to cover the chicken run. It needs to be tall enough to walk in though. Would protect them from getting out and also keep them safe from audial predators and coyotes that might jump your fence. You could also pull a cover tarp or shade cloth over if needed.
I suffer JUST LIKE you do. Watching your bout of pain last year i felt like i was watching myself. The way you describe rising in the morning..thats me to.a.T. Ive been suffering for almost 5 yrs. Im trying to change my ways but on a limited budget and dont have great health ins. Im glad youre doing better!
I think Josiah knows a lot but is a very quite deep thinker, whereas Jonah has more confidence to say what he thinks, both boys are great, maybe giving Gideon jobs and stressing how he will be needed to show Henry when he is older will help, Lily is just a great all rounder
It’s the FIRST time for YOU to recognize what he sees because he’s having some ONE on ONE conversations with you. He’s getting a chance to OPEN UP. He may be quiet BUT now that he’s having the opportunity to share his thoughts, YOU’RE able to see what he has been thinking… all along. I Hope, you will continue to ask his opinion even when Jonah comes back.😊
I love that you take the kids with you to do chores, BUT you should really consider leaving Henry in right now. You are down a man, and your feet are hurting. Your still doing the majority of the outside chores and cleanup, a lot of cooking, and recording for all social media. I think Rebecca can keep Henry with her during this time so you can be more productive, move more quickly, and have less weight on your feet.....especially while you don't have Jonah. Just my unsolicited two cents.
Absolutely right that if you want to go into a multi day fast, eat low carb going into it, it's easier because your body is more prepped to burn fat (instead of carbs) as its energy source. Didnt realize you listened to peter attia.
Josiah is such a good kid. Don’t lose sight of his passion once Jonah makes his way back. I think Josiah getting this praise and a place in your limelight has been so important to this giant growth step for him.
All children need time to shine. It’s important. It’s also important to remind them when they’re down after experiencing failure or not winning or placing-that others need their time to shine, too. And they’ll have plenty of opportunities throughout life to shine, again.
Totally agree...
Totally agree! I've been trying to think of a way to word your exact thoughts and you nailed it.
100% agree. Jonah is SO capable that I think sometimes Josiah gets lost in the background because he's quiet. But he is a brick! I hope that Justin remembers that and gives him more responsibility even after Jonah gets back on the wagon.
Been thinking and watching this for the last couple of years. Glad it's coming to your attention..
Your sons are taking "ownership" of their property due to their active daily responsibilities. You always hear their suggestions & often try them. Jonah looks eager to resume his normal life on the farm. You & Rebecca make me proud.

Now what to do about Gideon. Lol!

I think your son is doing so much because you’re giving him praise instead of giving it all to his older brother.
Make the panels of the chicken fence removable so you can get the tractor bucket inside to scoop up the compost.
There is a wide gate on the road side
Yes. Wish we had done that on all our pens.
The surveyor dude was awesome. Very patient, humble, and knowledgeable.
Glad to see the 72 hours went well for you. I don't eat anything but coffee/water from after Sunday Dinner to Wednesday Dinner most weeks.
Fasting is becoming so popular. Super healthy. Pretty awesome, Big Worm!

Thank you for the LONG video. So fun too watch. As always, the kids are great. Peace.
All of that survey equipment is pretty cool! Thanks for adding that part! We are having a survey done in a few months and now I know how it works :)
That was fascinating!

Great family. Great videos.
If you need a quick temporary fix on the cracked water tank...dry off area and .try waterproof wide tape.
It should get you by for a while..

Gorilla tape the cattle water bin. Add some water to the alpha powder while in the feed pan. Mix thick.

Glad all things are flowing fairly well on the farm. So glad Winnie found her niche and is thriving.
We Filipinos love pork skin(chicharon) with chili vinegar. It's perfect combo.
Justin put cattle panels from one side of the front fence to the other like a high tunnel you can still walk into. An chicken mesh it as well. Good luck.
SO COOL TO SEE THE SURVEYORS STUFF! INSPIRING
to fortify you could also cover the top with a net, supported by a few poles in the middle to make it high enough. That's what I did to my run. Mostly because of avian flu related restrictions, but I've also never had a chicken get out so far.
My eyes zoomed into all that beautiful Goldenrod begging to be harvested. That makes a good tea for inflammation.
You have such an attitude of gratitude today Mr. Rhodes, that fast seems to be working great for you!
Chain link fence without the top on, or chicken wire will keep chickens in, but a fence like yours with a top on it, gives them a place to land and they will get out. A wobbly fence with no “top” is best of the chickens 😊at least in my experience.
4"x2" woven wire horse fence is the stuff you need to keep those chickens in. RedBrand makes it either 48 or 60" tall. I've been using 48" tall and it works well.
im in middle TN--- and loving watching and LEARNING- and getting inspired ideas !
I love your videos, and you’ve been more grateful lately, and people like to see that! 👏👏👏
Haha I love watching your videos. I saw you post on IG and came running over here to watch you and your family
Dip your pork rinds in a slab of soft butter. Amazing! Terrific substitute for popcorn.
Congratulations on the successful fast.
Love Pork Rhyne :) So much knowledge about pigs!
Something that might help is to try some customized shoe inserts or shoes/ boots... that really fit your feet perfect.....your feet can ache like every bone is broken if your footwear is off...(even though the shoe might feel O.K)....as much as you are on your feet....that's the first place to treat yourself well. At least it could not hurt to start there. You are worth a new set of winter footwear. These could also affect your posture and your back. Healing thoughts.
Thought that also. He might be flapping about in those Wellies.
In the Philippines they would sell pork rinds with a vinegary pepper sauce. That was a good combo.
If that is alfalfa meal you have there, consider using it on the garden or pastures! It is an excellent source of slow release nitrogen!
Again fantastic vlog love how it’s always exactly how it’s happening and how many times you show how to adapt on the fly my dad taught us get a solution might not be perfect but it is what it is.

I would highly recommend you trying Sensory Deprivation Tank Therapy for a week and see how you feel or if you can pin point where the pain is coming from.

Not everyone tolerates cold weather the same. Is wise to cover up if you are cold, this is not a contest.
🤗🤗❤🤗🤗 Justin, look into it but I think that you need to take it easy after fasting. Check to make sure! Glad you are better and Jonah as well! 🙏

JUSTIN! ‼️‼️ Use Papaya Enzymes for your pain and inflammation., it’s also great for gut health, anti parasitic, deworming etc. Highly recommended! ‼️
Washing the eggs removes the “bloom.” You can’t water glass them and they won’t last as long. Put extra hay in the nesting boxes.
i'm not sure where i would get pork rinds but since i've had to co no carbs for diabetes, all those ideals sounded really Good
I think Josiah knows a lot but is a very quite deep thinker, whereas Jonah has more confidence to say what he thinks, both boys are great, maybe giving Gideon jobs and stressing how he will be needed to show Henry when he is older will help, Lily is just a great all rounder
It’s the FIRST time for YOU to recognize what he sees because he’s having some ONE on ONE conversations with you. He’s getting a chance to OPEN UP. He may be quiet BUT now that he’s having the opportunity to share his thoughts, YOU’RE able to see what he has been thinking… all along. I Hope, you will continue to ask his opinion even when Jonah comes back.😊
Oh man. Too funny!! My kids have to step up today when I got called into work. They are dreading the cold and dressed about the same. So funny.
So glad to know Jonah is gaining more independance.
The alfalfa meal could be used as a soil ammendment on the gardens.
glad you're feeling better Justin... Water-only fast does wonders... :) Tomorrow will be my day 10 of a water-only fast and feeling to too bad...
alfalfa is a natural fertilizer you can add it to your garden .
Pork rind dip in vinegar,crush garlic and a little bit of salt and pepper! Yummy 😋
I love that you take the kids with you to do chores, BUT you should really consider leaving Henry in right now. You are down a man, and your feet are hurting. Your still doing the majority of the outside chores and cleanup, a lot of cooking, and recording for all social media. I think Rebecca can keep Henry with her during this time so you can be more productive, move more quickly, and have less weight on your feet.....especially while you don't have Jonah. Just my unsolicited two cents.
Maybe mix in the alfalfa with some kind of liquid so it doesn't go everywhere. Or even use it for other animals. Anything to not waste it
we love the whole family!
I love watching y'all can't wait to see your next vlog.
Humidity cold….bone chilling! 50 degrees…tolerable when the humidity is 28%. One way to start the acclimation process in MO
I once fasted for 14 days. It was extraordinary infighting, in SO MANY ways!
If you add a little vinegar (or lemon juice) to either the water soak or the brine process it will tenderize the meat.
Absolutely right that if you want to go into a multi day fast, eat low carb going into it, it's easier because your body is more prepped to burn fat (instead of carbs) as its energy source. Didnt realize you listened to peter attia.
Love the long videos also have you ever tried wearing compression socks they helped me while working retail
