- Ben is trouble shooting our new winch today, trying to figure out why it stopped working in the middle of our last class. And Meg is in the kitchen making spatchcocked chicken for dinner.
Today’s music, in order (available through Epidemic Sound bit.ly/2Mt3tXm ):

If you film Meg cooking your typical meals and compile them into a weekly video, many of us would enjoy them!
Yes
Came here to say the same thing. They wouldn’t even have to talk just let us see the food being made. lol
Yes please!
would love to see Meg doing her thing in the kitchen, ❤
Meg needs her own channel ❤
We actually like normal boring stuff inside the home when the harvest and preserving are over. Watching just a short video of Meg cooking from the harvest is such a joy. You don't need content. We love the whole family and enjoy just simplicity. It's great to take a break because you all deserve it. But, you are never boring and just a short video of what's for dinner or whatever is very pleasing. Most people who watch your content just enjoy the simple things. Either way, merry Christmas and happy new year!
I could not agree more. What Ben thinks is "Boaring"... we just love. The Hollars are just Fun to hang out with... film the "nothing"... seriously. 😅 whatever moves them.
Meg’s bread is a work of art!
Agreed! 💯
It's been said already, but in the winter, you should just video Meg cooking!!! No editing. Would make lots of us happy and keep your stream going!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hard to keep all the noise down for a complete stream unedited.
Time for Meg to put out a recipe book or two❤
I miss you already...enjoy your "time-off" with family...a much deserved break. Thank you.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We will miss the content, but family time and the slow down is important! Hope you all feel better soon, and here’s hoping we don’t get the creeping crud here😉
💕❤️💕🙏🙏🙏 Lord Jesus bless and heal the Hollar family!!!
I want to say the comment from RobinL4715 is exactly right. Merry Christmas Hollars and Happy New Year. We'll see you soon.
@@dr3406 What? They have the flu. Humans have an immune system. We heal on our own in 2-3 days.
Amen
Life is for enjoying, not posting to the world. But, thanks when you do post.
While there may not be much going on outside, I would LOVE to watch Meg cook!
Yeah but Meg has to edit the videos and that's mannnny hours out of her day. They want down time as they said.
I'm well aware of how long editing takes, and that they need a break. I was simply paying a compliment. Now, please go find someone else to leave your condescending comments for. @@jt1364
Meg I love your shawl!!!!
For me- the magic of your channel is not projects or gardening. It’s regular family life. It’s what you would call boring mundane life. Do not stress yourselves. Do not worry over content or frequency of videos. Do what your family needs. If you want to post a video once a week- great!!! Many channels do that. We love your family. Whatever you need we support! Merry Christmas! God bless!
👍👍 regular family life which you are gracious enough to share with all of us 💖. You’re a true homesteading family. Real Life 🥰
Get well wishes, Enjoy some down time family time & have a joys Merry Christmas 🎄👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Yes! This exactly! This is one of two channels I’ve kept watching everything they post. Your comment explains exactly why!
I hope everyone feels better soon 💕
🙏🙏🙏💕❤️💕
you could always show is Meg cooking!!
Your shawl is beautiful Meg! you have many talents! Hope you feel better soon! much love ~Idaho~
I love that you all don't have a strict schedule. It's always a delight when we see one of your videos pop up. I never understood TH-camrs setting up an unreasonable routine and then constantly apologizing for not making it. You do YOU! We appreciate the wholesome content whenever it appears.
Have a great vacation!!! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Enjoy that family time. As an older empty nester, that family time together goes by so fast. We will see you occasionally till the spring.
Looking out for your family to thrive is a wonderful example to give. Most of us don't know how to live seasonally. Merry Christmas Hollar family. Rest well.
I love watching Meg cook! That bread was almost to pretty to eat❤
Ben and Meg, thanks for all the "Real" content you share with us! That's one of the biggest reasons I enjoy following you, if I want to see fake, I will watch main stream media. And just want to wish The Hollar Homestead a Very Merry Christmas 🤶 😊
Family is Family time. Understood 😊
Everyone get well soon! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Enjoy your little hiatus and I hope you feel better soon. Love your content and I will patiently wait for your return. Love and best wishes for a Merry Christmas. Glad you are only posting real life things and not creating "content" for us. Peeps can tell if something is fabricated.
Buggy knocking it out of the park, with that bye. LOL
Hope everyone feels better soon. Thanks for letting us know that you wont be posting as much. This season is family time for me and mine as well. Enjoy and be blessed.❤
You guys take your time off and enjoy it. It's family time during the Christmas season. Anyway, so we'll see you when you see you enjoy. Make hope you get better soon and the kids
We’ll see you when we see you! Enjoy your time with family.
Understand, have a great time off. Just so you know some of us can watch Meg cook several times a week this winter, if she would like. Lol. But we do understand, you need time off. We just enjoy your channel. Be blessed. 🤟
‘Got back pain?’ 🤣🤣 sad you are going to be doing less videos!! I would love to see more of Meg in the kitchen if you are looking for more content ideas! It’s inspiring to see what you do with that amazing garden harvest!
I agree with many of the commenters. A weekly what Meg cooked vlog would be fun to watch. I enjoy seeing what she makes from the things you grow on the farm.
I hope everyone is feeling better soon!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Be safe and happy.
A “Short “ in a wire?
Nah I think the Safety switch.
Take care of the family. Have fun. Have a Very Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤
Get Well Hollars. 🙏🏻
You are very sincere. I appreciate you for that. Many channels have proven to less than realistic and honest. You are the same. And you also have not gone overboard with spending as many homesteading channels have , it is obvious they have begun paying the price. ❤❤❤
wishing you all a peaceful, wonderful rest of December , Christmas and new year. Whilst I'm always happy to see you post, family time and down time to allow you to breathe is far more important. We'll be here in the new year ! thank you for taking the time to share your lives throughout the year, and Rye and Caraway fresh bread is definitely a food group !! xx
Have a lovely restful holiday season with your lovely family...I had male twins and then two more lovely boys...no girls...my twins will be fifty soon...cannot believe it!! I love the winter calm...Take care 💟❄🎄☃️
Thank you for sharing you life with us. Enjoy your family time and we'll see you when we see you. I'm so happy that your family comes first!! I wish there was more of that in the world today! God bless, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
If I had a you tube channel, I’d be off in the winter too to be honest. Unless y’all wanna see me get my husky out to run 😄. Winter is mostly time with her ♥️ She’s really good about being tied on when I cut the grass or am in my gardens and she has to stay inside when the hens get out to scratch … just glad hens don’t have a sense of time 😄😄 it’s usually like 11-1… I do have a small hen catch and run that I move around and Sorcha’s really good about not scaring the feathers off them but she will go lay there and watch them. Anyway- enjoy your time off, I’m sure we’ll all miss you but you all are very worth the wait. ♥️🙏 Be well.
Aweeee !! Poor Meg !! I pray you all get better soon , we love you guy's so so much
It's the flu, it gets destroyed by the body in a couple days. Been that way for over 100,000 years.
Hey Hollers 👋,
Sorry ya'll got the crud🤧💖.
Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎅🤶🧑🎄🌟.
Love you ,JO JO IN VT 💞
Hope you all feel better soon. Love your channel
Ben the micro switch that you disabled is called a anti to block device to keep you and your family safe from breaking off the hook and having it fall on you I ran cranes for most of my working life and saw first hand what happened without it working if you add a little extra weight to the outside of the square that the line runs through the sticky line dressing won't pick it up and it should work just fine please keep you and your family safe as I enjoy watching you guys this is my wife's TH-cam .Also we raised animals like your doing but in California. We still have the land but not the animals.
Prayers for Ben and Jack!🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
The safety though poorly designed is there to prevent excessive side loading. By removing that you take the chance of parting the cable so keep the children away from the load.
PRAYING YOU ALL FEEL BETTER SOON, THAT CRUD IS HITTING EVERYONE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY POSTS HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ENJOY THE DOWN TIME. WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND WILL BE WAITING WHEN YOU RESTART AND WE CAN WATCH SOME OLD VIDEOS WHILE WE WAIT.
Have a great vacation.. if you get totally bored ..Meg.. show us some cooking!! Hug love your videos..😊
Know that you will be missed!!! All I ask is that you don't wait until Buggie is in college to rejoin us!!! 😅 Hope you & your family have a GREAT Christmas. Merry Christmas to one & ALL!!! ❤😊🎄
So sorry ya'll are not feeling well.... hope it is all behind you very soon and that you will all enjoy the slowing down of Winter and of one another! You are such a beautiful family!
Hope everyone gets to feeling better. Enjoy your time with family. Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year! 🎉♥️🎉
Happy holidays, have fun & awesome family time together, you all deserve time off, get better soon. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us all!
See you when we see you. All the Best.
I will miss you all. Have a Blessed Christmas. Hurry back. Nothing is ok.
your nothing is still interesting to us, BUT very glad your are taking you time/family time. Get well and stay well. Blessings on you all!
God bless you guys -
Meg was hinting at she needs a small harbor freight hoist over the stove / oven for the big birds. I hope everyone in the family enjoys the holidays, you all earned it. Stay safe and stay well 🙏🙏 Thanks for the videos throughout the year. 🎄🎅🎀
Not sure I'll be able to handle less videos. I look forward to watching them. I understand, though. We all love sharing your life with us.
Enjoy your Winter Celebration to everyone at the Hollar Homestead.
I,m glad you can take a break around Christmas.That being said when you think you have nothing going on many of us LOVE to see Meg cook anything. You do eat everyday. Have a wonderful Christmas. We will look forward to your return.
Love you guys awesome people just made me smile when I stroll down on my iPad and seen your video😊 oh come on guys we love watching your family every day life rather it’s inside outside. Love to watch Meg Cooking or baking we just love it
Enjoy the break from filming. Family time is most important for everyone. Happy Christmas to your family! Wishing health and happiness to all!
You guys do you! Enjoy your family. Ben, I just want to say you should be very proud of yourself. I don't know you personally, but you have come a long way and I'm proud of you! You guys sharing your journey with us is much appreciated and we may never know how many have been touched by your content. Stay blessed from a grandmother of 8 and #9 on the way.
The purpose of that limit switch is so you don't wind the hook up into the winch spool. That's why that red donut is there. It's what trips the limit switch.
Have a wonderful December and a Merry Christmas. Praying for you all
When you don´t think it´s fun anymore - stop. It´s not fun to watch you doing something you don´t want to do, anyway! Take care of you all - and come back when it is fun for YOU! 💛🧡❤ Have a good winter and a happy spring!
Maybe be a Christmas video of Meg baking ! ❤😂
God, listening to that warm rye bread crunch, I thought, "This family is rich, and they deserve to be". Enjoy your holiday family time!
Both me and the Hubby had it for 5 weeks up here in BC, Canada. 😢Hope everyone is better soon
Ben, I love you on your high horse!! Keep riding it!! I love winter..try not to work as I'm a gardener/groundsman.. enjoy your down time folks..you sure have earned it! Much love and respect to you all
Thanks for letting us know.
Chicken soup for everyone for your bug! Put a camera on Buggy. I would love to watch her all day long! 💙
I love the shawl/scarf . Beautiful! I Love the Color! Where did you find it?
Most of us know that holidays is family time for you. Always missed, but making memories is what it’s about, enjoy.
Beautiful shawl.
Once you cut back on your videos and changed to Your style your stress disappeared and it shows, kudos.
Yep. Don't burn yourself out with the youtube schedule. I did a 45 to 60 minute livestream that I pre-produced each week as a Sing along for my Gospel music and did it every Friday night for 3 and a half years. All consuming to produce a show like that with 8 songs a week plus talking parts. By my self. It finally got to where I just could not do it any longer tho It was one of the most rewarding tasks I have ever undertaken. But the schedule can get to you after a while. So don't overdo it tho I must admit I look for your vids every day and enjoy them. Still, you have to have a life outside youtube. I don't think people who don't do it can understand the expectations. So enjoy your holidays. The rest of us will and we will just be glad when you are able to put something up! We love you!! ❤❤
I laughed out loud when Ben was explaining about the flu that everyone had and then the cat coughed/sneezed. “You got it too”😂😂😂
❤❤❤
Good evening!
I love your blogs.
Have a good week.
❤❤❤
Hi from Queensland Australia, If we don't see you all before Christmas, have a blessed and Holy time and see you all in 2024
Your tree looks pretty
Tuff little Buggy
Well if we don't see you again til Spring, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and See you soon.
Well I guess I should wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year just in case, I hope you all feel better soon.
You all enjoy your holidays, we'll miss you and starve without Meg's cooking segments. We'll manage to survive till you come back full fledge in the spring.
Some of those have a thermal cut out after it sits it will reset its aggravating but it's because it is getting to hot lol
Sorry the family has been under the weather. So cute how the kitty sneezed on que. Prayers for speedy recovery for all.
Hope you all have a great down time and Holliday's, making lots of family memories ! ❤ 😊
Thanks for letting us visit
Praying everyone feels better soon. Most of the TH-camrs I watch only post once a week once in awhile twice.
Wow your freezer will be full with lamb, chicken, pork and now beef yum. Love rye but, my favorite is pumpernickel.
Enjoy your family time rest, relax have a very Blessed Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲
Oh know!!! I am going to miss watching my favorite homesteading family. I know it’s hard during the winter time, Meg could do allot of cooking videos for us. I would love to learn some of her dishes that she makes. She is amazing cook and bread making. You all are truly amazing family, and have such great content
Meg I have that same stove and have the same problem with the racks!
You take what time you need we will be here Hope you are all getting better Blessings
Praying for you Ben, Meg and kids. God bless you with safety, health, strength, peace, wisdom and success in Jesus' Mighty Name. Have a Merry Christmas along with a Happy New Year. Asking Our Father to bless you with a plentiful 2024 and lots of wonderful harvesting. ☝️🙏🙌🇺🇸💪❤️🎯
Thank you for sharing your lives with us! I love your quick humor, just thrown in there when least expected. I'm laughing way too hard over you saying, 'I don't think CPR is gonna work.' as she was preparing the chicken. 😂 Thank you for the laugh!! 😂
The various “natural selection prevention” devices on new equipment is tough to deal with but things are made to be “safe”. Even a simple thing like a push lawnmower has them. We have one that if you hit a bump it shuts off, if you’re pointed in the wrong direction on a hill it shuts off (we farm in the WNC mountains) or if you look at it wrong it shuts off. Defiantly a learning curve to make it function how it’s needed.
Enjoy your family time and Christmas season. We as homesteaders enjoy the mundane videos of chores and the seasonal struggles of normal living. Sometimes they help us get through the daily struggle and dark times. Also love the cooking portion of videos. All real life stuff.
God Bless Y’all
That bread should be on a magazine cover......lovely.....
I will miss the videos during this break. Enjoy family time & get well wishes for everyone in the family to feel better like yesterday! 🙂 Just a thought, if I may be permitted to express an opinion: video taping without talking is an option too...morning chores, Meg cooking/baking, Buggy doing funny stuff....but don't stay away too long we all need our fix...I look forward to your family/projects, etc.around the farm you post. 🙂
Sending lots of prayers hope all gets feeling better. Have a Merry Christmas and happy New year.
Thanks for the review/fix of the winch. I was thinking about buying one of those winches. Enjoy your downtime this winter. I’ve been watching some of your older videos. Amazing how much the kids have grown.
Meg cooking is great content ❤
Ah, the resiliency of youth. 😊
Love Megs shawl…. Did she make it??? Less content is sad for your viewers but we all understand getting sick or tired but always love that you guys are so apologetic! That is part of why we love The Hollars!!!!
A request for next year. A compilation of the favorite recipes of the year. Bank them and make a three or four part series for the time you take off, and still get videos and you make money! Have a wonderful holiday season and I hope you all feel better!
You may think of mounting the motor/winch part down below and run the cable through a pulley on the swivel. This would allow for easier recovery/repair.
