I'm a single mom of three. I homeschool. Little known fact- even snap/ebt can purchase some long term storage foods and five gallon drums for water AND food bearing plants. For the time being. I use these resources to help us prepare. I tried gardening for the first time with little success- and it's tough doing all the labor alone (of course i have the kids help where they can). But I will keep trying. I own this home and we have a good size yard and some woods and fresh water sources we can rely on. We have a community of fellow believers and some good neighbors... i store backup essentials like toiletries, fire and light sources, etc. we're doing OK and we're pretty well ready for some hard times.
Microgreens and Hydroponics are pretty good too

Good job Mom! I did this when my kids were young too. Back in the Obama days. That was bad, but it’s worse now. Your kids are learning strength, responsibility, and resilience from you.
Have you researched your farming zone? Different zones are more conducive for specific crops.
Try yams in a bucket! Yams are famine food as they are very nutritious. It's a great opportunity for your children to learn a lot. Can relate as a single mom now Gma & Great Gma. Friends real ones always best. Good on you for going for it.
PS canning. Water bath will do.
I ate potatoes while watching this video.
Potatoes I picked 20 minutes ago, I grew them on my own for the first time ever 😎
Thank you Curtis 🙏
You are a great inspiration to all of us.
God Bless you and your family 🙏
Congratulations!

Now all you need is a butter and sour cream tree! :)
My first year learning also
Congrats! I've given up on potatoes, they kept getting wiped out by fungus.
We’re doing a workshop today at my house teaching people to butcher turkeys that we’ve raised. If you have skills that’ll help people, teach people who are interested in learning. God bless you all.
When's the class on butchering carrots?
For sure! Help people in your community grow gardens, teach self reliance skills to as many people as you can. I don’t raise poultry yet, but I hope we will soon!
I started having the impulse to provide a refuge for my family about fifteen years ago. Got out of debt, built an efficient house, put up a high tunnel, started growing high nutrient plants and medicinals. Etc...

What state are you in?
@@mdorn6592 just wish there was a way that we could get rid of these spammers and scammers. If Curtis had the time time to read all of the comments he could delete them. But there again that could be quite time consuming for him to be looking for these in his comment sections.
@@paulatwood998 hit the button next to them and report as spam. They are usually bots.
Wish my hubs had been so wise.
Great, inspiring video, Curtis! I was blessed to be awakened and was able to start my new journey two years ago. Once I made the decision everything has fallen into place. I now have an acre of land, an old but well built farmhouse on well water and septic, established fruit trees, berry bushes, grapevine, and several gardens that we keep enlarging and adding to. I've learned to can, save seeds and raise chickens. I absolutely love this life.
You're my hero. I'm working towards that!!!
sounds so good.... same here for 10 years and just beginning to learn the land.....
Amen Curtis, captivating.... and this is the day that the Lord has made 🎶🎶
You just described exactly how our homestead looks like 🥰 we left city life 3 years ago and are constantly learning how to successfully run a homestead.
Good for you!
My husband and I went off gird last year. Have our earthship and are preparing our community and our 10 acres for the future. Thank you for spreading this message, we need to get out of this system and be sovereign if possible.
Curtis is right. If someone needed help when that time comes, if they show up with any farm experience I'd take them in a hellva lot faster than somebody with nothing and no experience.
I'm in a weird area out in the country. We're on a mountain in the county with very few people. Been here since 2007 and working to be self sustainable. That was the goal. Read the Bible and God spoke, I took action and damn glad I did.
When I started to harvest a bit yesterday I realized my ark was lacking. Did a huge Costco run to ensure our winter is at least ok. Ironically the power went out at Costco while shopping. Literally the only way we know the power is out is we are at a store or our neighbours generator comes on. Lessons learned for garden. Will be ready next year from April on. Self sufficiency is not easy.
Your sounding amazing!
Right on

Thanks to Costco for helping not to rely on Costco.
I like your channel because you are genuinely seeking to 1) Be a farmer, 2) Create a sustainable lifestyle and 3) Be able to not be dependent on 'the system'. Most homesteading channels have simply turned into reality shows, and are in no way really moving towards sustainability. I can see in your work you are focused on genuine sustainability, and then are kind enough to share your expertise with the rest of us with your videos, and would imagine your youtube income allows you to move more quickly to genuine sustainability. Well done.
There is so much truth in your statement, "Its very difficult to get to a place where you do not have any external inputs". We have been working for four years towards that goal. We have gotten to the point we can feed ourselves from our compound, and we do not purchase any chemicals. We do, however, require dozen upon dozens of dump truck loads of cow manure and river hyacinth, and constant work in generating compost. We have chickens but have to buy chicken food. Realistically, we have simply stopped buying eggs, and started buying chicken food. The 'improved' laying hens seem to require a perfectly crafted feed in order to lay eggs. Simply free ranging them, and giving them locally grown protein results in healthy happy chickens, but no eggs.
Hence, the next step for us to become sustainable, is to introduce animals for the purpose of developing a synergistic and symbiotic relationship between the animals, the trees and the gardens. We will be moving from improved layer chickens to indigenous village chickens. These chickens will have poor egg production compared to optimized layer hens, but they will be able to produce eggs by free ranging. The village chickens are also much less susceptible to disease and illness. Then their manure will begin to lower our need for so much cow manure. We are replacing our well manicured lawns with native grasses which the rabbits can eat. As I mentioned in an earlier comment. Rabbits produce 1) Natural insecticide, 2) Fertilizer that does not need to be composted, and 3) meat. They can do this with no external feed stocks, as they can do well on elephant grass, which we grow, alfalfa, and various weeds and garden waste. The rabbits are a critical part for us to 'close the loop', and not require external feed stock.
We are presently on the grid, but the grid is down about 25% of the time. We really looked carefully at solar, but with the limited lifetime of storage batteries, we determined that we can presently buy diesel for a commercial generator cheaper than the replacement cost of batteries. Solar is not sustainable if it depends on batteries for storage. We are strategically adding solar in certain areas. Our gardens are all on drip irrigation fed from an elevated tank. We fill the tank with a pump, pumping water from the Nile River. We pump water when the sun is shining, and if the sun is not shining, the gardens can go a day or so without water. Electricity for the house is a wonderful convenience, but should the grid go down, we can keep the gardens watered with solar and no batteries. We will simply make do without electricity in the house if we have to. Year round temps here of 65-75 degrees make this possible.
Sorry for the long comment, but the bottom line is exactly what you said . . . true self-sustainability is an incredibly hard goal to reach. Like you, I think we are on that path. I can see a day we can feed ourselves without leaving the compound. Yet our approach is labor intensive, so we must see that should the ATMs stop spitting out money, we have to produce enough not to just feed ourselves, but provide for the labor keeping the gardens and projects operating.
Sorry for the long comment, but we are greatly blessed by the knowledge and skill we get from watching your channel. I thank you for your efforts in sharing your knowledge, and we pass it on to those around us. May God bless your efforts!
Thank you ❤️
Great job! So impressive. 👍🙂
I woke up two years ago. Since then I had such a strong gut feeling to stock up on food. I have been gardening and canned as a hobby but in fall of 2020 started pressure canning so many different things. I was fired last December as a nurse, which I have been for 18 years. Tried a different type of nursing but after 8 months quit bc it didn't align with my values. I am now a stay at home mom. My husband is not awake or a born again believer and our kids are still in public school. I can only pray he sees the light soon. So I keep trucking away on our 2 acers. I plan on learning about herbal medicine and building my community of like minded people and hope one day my husband will wake up. Many blessings from California. Please pray for our state. 🙏
Same here! My husband is not awake and does not see the value in me building a garden and homeschooling our son. I lost my teaching job as I would not take the injection. I am in Santa Cruz, California. I often think of where I would move to escape the tyranny here. In the meantime, I am also building a community of like-minded friends. Lost a number of old friends who are not on the same page. Yes, please pray for our state!
@@joboz California is where things are hitting hardest and with the least warning.
@@joboz May God reward you and bless you abundantly.
Check out the book herbal medicine makers handbook by James green. It’ll get you where you need to be.
I’m finding lots of used books at Value Village- lots on herbalism, plant identification , homesteading, vet care etc.
California is so blessed with natural beauty. I’m glad you are fighting for your state. It’s not much better here in Seattle.
Thank you Curtis, we’ve lost our land for being awake!! It offends apparently, so we have to start again from scratch from Feb 2023, we’ve worked soooo hard and now to be in this situation is utterly devastating, as we thrived throughout the plandemic and had a 5 year plan, planting for future years etc, everything has to be dug up, put back to a blank field, but hey, we rented the land so nothing we can do.
We will never accept the tyranny, been awake for 5 years!! Thanks for awakening others , it makes us feel we are on the right track sticking to the truth. Regardless of the back lash. 🙏🇬🇧❤️
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Sorry you're going through this. Sounds like next time you'll be putting your resources into your own ( tho what really ours ...) land. I presently rent. Excellent so far but I feel vulnerable. Owners could need this space for their own family. God-willing I'll buy land that's a right fit.
Keep up your good work 👏
The community i was looking for was waiting for me. I wasn't even planning to or even looking at this town. Dozens and dozens of families just like us. And they're still arriving in droves. Its the most amazing thing I've witnessed!
Such a blessing. I've started finding community. I pray wisdom and help downsizing.
Lol.... I was going to say "Amen" and noticed I was replying to myself. I'm consistent at least.😊
Thank you so much for this video. It prompted a conversation with my 18 year old son that is feeling a little lost in this world as it is. He's a big strong young man with incredible potential . Our young people need more guidance than ever before. Thank you for this video 👍🙏
You are bold and not afraid to speak your mind and love the truth bombs - you are wide awake!!
You are spot on sir! Leaving the big city was the best thing I ever did around 1979. 6 of my best friends died from drugs or violence. Have been a prepper since 1976 when I bought my first farm. Lost it when my wife left. She didn't like farming. 2 year detour to ag school and then back to the farm. Had up to 100 acres once but now 20 in central lower Michigan. Putting up my first Farmer's Friend 16 x 50 Gothic pro today. Sold my cattle last Fall thinking maybe I should have kept a couple. My elderberries were ready last week in zone 5B. Thank you so much for your efforts. Been following you for years.
Hi James, returning to Shiawassee County eventually. Are you anywhere near there? Want to find like-mindeds! Peace, Bro
Wise words, Curtis! I’m sharing with my family, who are my community! I was raised on a farm where my parents were self-sustaining, mostly. Im thankful for what I was raised in, although we weren’t wealthy. Blessings to your family 🤗❤️
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
I’m squeezing a very healthy 80 and planning for what it will take to see me through to 100 and beyond. Your voice and others are encouraging. I’m a God follower and look to him for guidance and direction.
👍👍👍❤️
Well, I'm in downtown Tokyo, and moving my lovely wife out of Tokyo is just not happening, but I grow veggies in containers, and I'm prepared as much as I can be, gas, kerosene, generator, 3 months worth of dry food for each of us, a 200 liter rain water catchment etc. Other stuff I'm not going to discuss.
Doing the best I can in the place I am, I'm a general contractor, and I have a real wide range of skills from car/motorbike mechanic, weldor, carpenter, electrician, plumber etc.
The idea of getting seed stock is a good one, I need to work on that.
PS I grew up in Kelowna, on Tronson drive.
Cheers from Tokyo!
Thank you for sharing!
You are an awesome human being. Very smart, openminded, diligent, good hearted young man! I really enjoy your videos, they're very inspirational. Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine and my son's. Listening to you gives me hope for the future. I wish you a very nice creative and happy life on the top of those beautiful mountains surrounded by your family! Greetings from Ontario XXXX
Blessings to you and your boy!
Ive started my "ark" by using rocks from the creek for borders and going to the woods for fresh, black, sweet smelling soil. 100% free and perfect for those like me who dont have money but do have time to work.
This is the best laid out advice I have heard from anyone. Great Job! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Mornin Curtis, from the mtns of eastern oregon.
Quit my govt job of 12 years...the mask debacle was the final straw to a growing distaste for what the govt is. The face masks went on and the character masks came off. I did not comply...what a ride.
This little town I live near has and is changing...the they are coming.
Anyhow, the opportunities for work are everywhere. Even here in this very rural location. People are nearly begging for either work to be done or for workers to hire...freedom for hire.
My family is waking up and switched on for the most part. I still find it hard to motivate these good folk to the "next level". So it's basically just the wife and I on the land and it is a lot of hard work. We are blessed.
Thankfully, those we love are "prepping" and sharing their ideas/listening to ours and I am thankful for that. We are on the same page and while we are a little scattered, we are in close proximity as in, a 60 mile radius...maybe that is advantageous...
Just wanna say thanks and I hope to renew my from the field subscription again here soon. Had to pull all my trickle payments while we re-tooled our budget.
So in closing, I'll say see ya neighbor. Well, regional neighbor. Good day.
How do you get through life being this unhinged? Oof
Wondering where in eastern OR are you? Thanks!
Lots of knowledge and wisdom. My favorite golden gem @ 26:09 - The only person that you should compare yourself to is who you were yesterday, and who you were previously. We’re all going to come to things on our own.
Spot on again mate. I’ve just started reorganising my seeds we are just starting spring here in Australia and the planting begins 😍
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Fellow Australian here, SE Qld and have the Spring seedling trays under cover, beds not under late winter crops ready to plant after liberal compost etc. Slightly elevated so need to start them early indoors. Yep, the planting planning begins Kristy. Hope you have a bumper crop for your needs. Kristy check our Longevity (Sambung) and Okinawa perpetual spinach bushes. Had fresh greens all last Summer and Winter even in the hottest and coldest periods. Quite cheap to buy seedlings on line, I took cuttings last summer, all took, and they thrive on neglect and easy to grow, available on-line for a small cost. Be safe.
Every day-I do something to push forward-EVERY...SINGLE...DAY-God Bless you & your family Curtis
Became a prepper and homesteader 3 years ago. Sold my house and moved to a town of 2,500. The closest big town of 90,000 is 60 miles away. I bought a house that’s 120 years old on 1.62 acres. Growing this first year has been tough with trying to amend the soil. Pulled 2 beds of potatoes today and maybe 4 pounds is all I’ve gotten. The tops were gorgeous and full and yet hardly a potato and some had none. My sweet potatoes won’t get harvested til December and I’m praying they do well. Took forever up here in the mountains to get everything started this year. Tomatoes are just starting to produce. Zucchini too. Peppers are finally producing. All my plants are from seed. Good thing is I just push forward. Sewed radishes and beets 3 days ago and they’re already up! Tomorrow I’ll see broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, and carrots. If I don’t get more potatoes I’ll just buy a 10 pound bag and can them. Nothing will stop me from putting food away.
Curtis. You made your destiny by hard work and being perceptive. I am amazed at how much you have achieved in such a short time in your new homestead in BC. Well done and thanks for your words of encouragement for all those just starting out!
I believe that stocking up has to come from the local community. We need to stop buying corporate products and supporting them. That will help, it's a start.
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
dude, this video, this message, is what I needed to hear this morning. thank you!!!
I am so glad you are speaking about what is really going on. 90% of people I know dont believe any of what you just mentioned. The sad thing is they will all believe it soon enough. Im happy to hear you speaking about the Word of God especially. You are a good man. Keep it up.
God Bless you Curtis. Thank you for this video and sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. Praying for us. Things are unraveling and quickly.
I’ve been watching and learning from channels about gardening and prepping for years. This video is one of the best. Thanks for talking the truth. I’ve been watching your videos since about 2016 back then I would have never guessed we were on the same page when it came to prepping and the agenda. I think this type of content will be seen by a broader diversity of people than the typical prepping person seeking prepping content. Hopefully more people will wake up and get busy. Good job.
Food, water, energy & shelter.👍
Thank you! I just found you on the 18th, missed the early bird time frame. But I have binged on your YT 's since then this week. This one really resonated with me. I have known much of what you spoken. I am a recent widow now practicng my skillset aand adding to it as I prepare my property to sell if time allows. I have been looking for awhile now where I need to be. I appreciate all your insight and with the Lord's leading I will be right where He wants me. Looking forward to learning and inspired by your wisdom and knowledge you share. God bless!
This is the first year I’ve grown my own food. I started with lettuce over the winter in hydroponics and then built 6 8x4 raised beds and they are producing so much food!!! Thank you Curtis you and ice age farmer are the first people I started watching that put me down this path!
I’m a native west coaster who made the decision to look elsewhere for retirement. We are 69/71 and are starting over. No big house to sell, so we had to be frugal. Fortunately, awe were able to buy a 105 year old log home on 1 1/3 acres in a town of 27,000 in East Tennessee. Being older, we needed to be near medical support. We are currently still on the west coast due to family issues. I’m really frightened that we will be stuck here and not make it to our home in Tennessee in time before shtf. I just keep praying. It feels so hopeless.
Curtis, your videos always tell me that what I'm doing since the last 16 years is the right one to do. Thank you for all your work.
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Love the message. First time listener here. Hoping to help build this movement. God bless you
Helping others brings blessings to your life ... like Curtis! God bless ye Curtis
Great Video Curtis. Even if there is no big SHTF moment or period.. What you are describing is still a better way to live.
When I lost my tech startup and could not buy my expensive organic veggies, I realized I had time. Found, in the Netherlands, a retired bulb farmer with health problems that used his former greenhouse en land behind his house to grow some veggies. Asked to help en being tutored by him. Been into third season
The more I watch these videos that explain what’s going on it proves the agenda
You mentioned like-minded and touched on like-valued, Curtis. Like-valued is critical. Lots of people want to move out of the city and live sustainably but what are their values? What are they willing to die for? What are their non-negotiables? Values like integrity, living by the 10 commandments, etc. Great video!!
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Reaching the point of never going to store which may be more convenient for coffee, sugar, salt and compare to what you have to live which is a lot less which you have achieved. Great inspiration.
What an amazing call to action!

Finding a like minded community will be the paramount goal.
Each individual will bring unique assets/skills to the group.
My goal for the last 6 years.
I have land, ground water, stored food and a will to prevail.
One hundred percent 💯 true. I’m a new subscriber and late to this video, but I purchased rural land several months ago and am excited to have the suggestions you’re sharing on this channel as I move forward in life. Thanks 🙏
For those that haven’t done any of this, there is no time to waste, get busy as if your years behind because you are !
Watching this now we live in South Central MT. I am the garden center manager at a local greenhouse and my husband owns his own flooring company. Neither of us can find help! When the Wendy's across the street is paying $20.00 an hour just to get staff and my hubby pays $25 for entry level help. It has happened that he gets someone who works a day or two then says you work too hard man (and he is in his late 50s) it's super frustrating!
This discussion is going on across all platforms. I'm even seeing people talking in the comments of movies. You laid out the situation extremely well, as well as giving great information for people. Thanks, great post Sir
Great thoughts Curtis! Thank you for your knowledge, passion, courage and insight. All the best! Darren
Thank you Curtis! Learned a lot from you. Would you consider talking about how you prepare for things medical related?
@Meggie check out Dr. Patrick Jones’ channel called Homegrown Herbalist. He has excellent natural plant advice & kits. Or check out Rain country homestead channel.

Love it. You're really a cheer leader to help those who are just now starting to wake up and are so far behind in their journey. At some point, they'll be past the point of no return, but I feel there's still time (although not a lot). 🙏
Curtis watching your TH-cam videos as a 16 year old shaped me positively in so many ways I'm now 23 and upgrading my homestead we are putting up our fourth greenhouse and built a walk in cooler. This is only version one renting from family in Surrey hoping to buy land in the interior for the forever home. thank you for inspiring the next generation.
Stacking functions has really changed my productivity. Thanks.

Have followed you for a long time. I have learned much about gardening from you. This video is one of the best you have ever done. This move toward self sufficiency and preparedness is powerful to see. It is a much different approach than market gardening.
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Your best video to date. Gotta find a way to get younger people (55 and younger) to listen to and to heed your advice. As a Great Grandparent I frequently feel that my younger friends, Family and neighbors just figure that they'll come over to my place to get what they need in times of trouble.
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Curtis, if people don't wake up after watching this video I don't know what will. Continued success on the homestead.
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
Thanks for the heads up, it sounded sketchy.@@mdorn6592
I agree with you 100%. Thanks for taking a stand for the network rather than the individual only.
Thank you
Profound
I'm the guy arguing that we're not getting out the pasture yet, we're just moving to the edge of the farmer's pasture farthest away from slaughterhouse.
All the same, these thoughts are profound and helpful.
Have done and working to do much more along these lines in the last 10 years.
Thank you again.
Well Curtis, that was yet another great Video. My boy is 17 ,grade "A" student ,has a job,girlfriend, car ,and plans to go to college after he graduates next June .But how do I tell him of what's about to come to every town in Canada? I have tried several times to explain, but to him I am precieved as negative. So as much as it hurts ,I have to just let him go to do the things he sees fit. College? A 4 year black hole even if he completes the 4~5 term.The world will be totally different then it is now but he will still have to fibd a job in his chosen field. This might be 4 years of regrets or 4 years that will lead to a successful happy life.
You see my delema
If they're capable of learning anything, then they'll learn from everything they do. My youngest is 18, so I appreciate your angst, but have some faith in him. It may just be that he needs time in the bigger picture on his own before your advice can start to take form for him. Let him know how you're preparing for what's to come and how you can help if he gets stuck. Then trust that you've done the best you can and trust that he'll take it from here by doing the best that HE can. 👍
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
This is what children must do. Let him go and do what he believes in, he will grow in the process. Children must leave the nest and fly before they come back as adults
My youngest is 18 too. My son is wise, and thinks through things logically. I think he will be safe from woke-ism. (Daughter was not!)
I want my son to go to college. If only the left get educated, then our future is going to be dark. We will need educated young leaders.
Yes, college is overpriced. We homeschooled for most of their lives.
Get him prepping now and show him HOW hard it's about to get s
I'm not wasting my time watching your videos, because I always learn something inspirational.
Thank you:)
Agreed. After a day of work and toil, these videos feel like community and motivation to me as well.
Thank you Curtis. I have often repeated what you said a while ago, that if two men came to you , one with money and one with skills, you would take the man with skills. I’m doing this on my own and taking action, sharing information and preparing. God bless.
I just discovered your youtube channel a few days ago.
I am impressed with your work ethic, goals and achievements.
I'm awake, listening and ready to work.
The best veggies my family and I grew from seed.
We had organic soil, cow and chicken manure,
the veggies grew amazing!
Then we moved.
I used organic soil, but forgot the cow and chicken manure.
I spent hundreds on seedlings, the only think that is still alive is the parsley,
Sweet potato and a tomato plant!
I want to start from scratch, with the goal to grow food for our family and the community.
To learn to live off-grid with a like-minded community.
I want to live with joy as my strength and to see God's Kingdom grow.
Thanks Curtis.
Excellent inspiration, I've been following your channel for a while, now I'm following the advice. Purchased 5 acres and am working on my infrastructure now, will start planting 1/4 acre this fall to learn how to do this in Arizona.... then keep building my Arc. Thanks for all your content.
Just the motivation I needed before continuing to upgrade our on farm pastured broiler processing room. Cheers, from South Africa.
When you spoke to the men!!! Amen Amen!!! Love your channel. Thanks for what you do. God Bless🙏👍
Thank you, Curtis, for your inspiration🙏
"The goal is the continuously try to get there"... this is an amazing way to put it, Curtis.
On the note of small towns/villages, the rule does not always apply. Same problems, smaller scale.
Thanks for your work. I've been following you since I returned from Kashmir to UK about 7 years ago where I witnessed martial law and the devastating assault on the local population and not a soul in the outside world knew what was going on. It was the first time I'd properly realised the power of the media. I knew, what was happening there could happen any moment anywhere if the media could stifle such a big event as the trouble in Kashmir. I came home and the next day got into my neighbour's garden to grow food. They had abandoned it. I wondered how many other people were on it and I found you. I followed you, and still do, and feel like a friend on your journey. You never mentioned you were a truther, except when you said things like 'global dimming' in one of your videos a few years ago. I knew then you knew. I joined your from the field, and am still a member, only a sleeping one. I sold my house summer 21 and have been on a bit of a detour ever since. Thought I'd made a good decision, by buying woodland, only to realise it wasn't! So now I'm re-evaluating where I'll be in the next year. Fingers crossed we don't get the crash before I'm ready to move again. Like you, I've been studying and learning all sorts for years, including wild herbal and kitchen cupboard medicine which I teach, crafts and repairs, expanding my food growing knowledge, and teaching online courses to get people started on their food growing journey. I'm learning all the time. Aside from the heavy hearted knowledge of these psychos who think they have the world sown up, I'm feeling skilled and genned up on how to survive. I wish to thank you for your passion, and sometimes I've sensed your urgency, going back, to get this way of life into people's thick skulls! Convenience will be the death of us. Blessings to you and your family.
You are certainly doing your part in helping to inform the Masses how to prepare for this! Great information, extremely valuable! Thank you!
Need a lot more people to be aware of what Curtis is talking about and a lot more taking the initiative to create social media pages and talk about it.
I'll be 73 Months Sober on the 19th . Can't you feel the end coming in the next Month or So . Good Information and Advice :) QC
Wow! Well done you
I live in rural Victoria, Australia. I am finding it extremely difficult to find my tribe. I find that nearly all the people I meet or already know are completely oblivious to what’s going on around them or they just think I’m nuts when I try to explain it. All they seem to be concerned with is complaining about government and politicians and just interested in talking about football or cricket or the latest reality TV show. I’m finding I have not much in common with people these days and it’s hard to have a conversation with most of them. Of the few people I have a conversation with and can agree with my sentiments most of them nod their head and just continue on with their life the way it is without wanting to change or put any effort in, they still believe someone is going to save them. There is a handful of like-minded people in my area and we can only forge a bond to hopefully get through whatever may come. I’m really enjoying watching your Homestead build you have really helped me out with irrigation. thank you 🙏
We're few and far between it seems. But we are here. Sometimes I think that God isolates us for our own protection. If we were to unite in any real way, the power of this world would be able to strike at us much more easily. And there is a kind of quiet strength to be had when we struggle alone, bit with the knowledge that others are out there doing the same.
Sometimes I think that Curtis is a bit too optimistic about the future of relatively powerless groups living off grid. I think that when the beast really takes center stage, there is little hope of finding a place where its talons won't reach. But I don't say that in a defeatist way.
I have a Book that foretold all of this. It doesn't paint a pretty picture of what is yet to come. It doesn't foretell anything except for more suffering as long as this world stands. But it does say that this world won't stand forever. And after it passes, there is something unimaginably beautiful to come.
Keep trying to tell them, brother. If even one in a thousand comes to understanding, it is worth all the pain of the effort. Keep doing everything you can to show them the way and to make the little bubble around you a place of Truth.
and don't despair if it looks like things are getting worse. The beast is beyond our ability to resist in any material way. But saving the world isn't the point. Trying to save this world has only ever lead to corruption and destruction. We have to tread a higher path and focus on that which transcends this world.
We only have a little time here to do what we can to reflect the light of Truth. That is all that matters.
Peace, brother.

Been a musician and composer for my entire adult life. Thinking about getting into farming and homesteading as a way to maintain freedom and autonomy. Crazy to stumble on your channel and hear about your story. It’s like you’re 12 years down the same road I’m on.
It was a two year cognitive dissonance I experienced when I realized maybe trying to make a career out of music wasn't my calling.
I have a similar story as musician and then audio engineer. I just stumbled across channel. Amazing how people can lead almost parallel paths.
Sold most of my financial assets in December 2021 and bought 20 acres outside of Boulder Colorado. Building a residence-greenhouse on a solar-geothermal battery (Ceres Greenhouses GAHT), and then methodically developing the land as I learn. Thanks for all you do, it’s inspirational and instructive. This is the beginning of an s-curve disruption. My co-worker got interested in my project and is starting work on his parent’s property on Vancouver Island.
I started preserving a few things last week for the first time ever. This Sunday, this was the message God sent: Matthew 6:25-26 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
🥰
Great video. Millions need to see this not thousands
You nailed it Curtis. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. Don't get distracted by all of the noise that's out there. God bless.
Yes! I see these trends in my small town and the small towns that surround mine. Lots of jobs available and the neighbors often have a garden and will help you get started. There's a lot to be said about finding community.
Thank you for your encouragement Curtis.
I went to the health food store and bought a big handful of garlic bulbs to plant, next week I will buy more. Going to dig up oregano at my mom's tomorrow.I have been throwing all my compost scraps along my wooden fence for my kitchen garden.
Just your tee shirt says a lot. The population is being deceived and some won’t see it coming. Love what you’re doing. GOD BLESS❣️🙏🏼
Man I needed this video! Thank you Curtis! And we watch FFTV all the time, I just want your TH-cam channel keeping the love too 😁👍🤙
Thank you so much. That what I am thinking right now. Yes let's get out and do something. Yes, we sometimes are trapped and don't know that there are other good alternative to work on. God bless you and thank you for sharing.
curtis I bought your book a few years ago, I love the infoirmation in it. i miss your old format working at your household farm. I've been slacking on growing my food the last 2 seasons. next season i will do better. i keep running into issues such as water running out in my well mid season and things dying right before harvest. ive looked into getting a new well but its so expensive here in california. thanks for all you do
Love that you walked the property up the ridge the whole time you were filming! Great to be at home in your environment…
I'm new to over the road trucking. I make very little for a one income household. I want so much to live in the countryside but I've never been able too.
The best teaching video
SO TRUTH Curtis
Now the people have to do it by your self.
Thank you for the honesty and encouragement.

One thing that is not being addressed by the other prepper channels is Ezekiel bread. It is a great addition to the pantry and you can use all of the ingredients for something else like soups and stews! Bread beckers has a prepared mix but I just bought all of the ingredients instead, no shipping charges lol!
Don't reply to the what's ap scam...they are doing this constantly and it's not Curtis
@@mdorn6592 thank you!
I’m building community here in far north Idaho on Ark Barn Farm! Thank you for your inspiration. I’ve been following you some many years!
Thanks for leaving this one up
I started to learn welding from a friend who is a professional...in the last few years I'va lesrned alot by rebuilding a very old house...I am still learning about gardening...and animal husbandry...my husband is an electrical engineer...and a pretty good carpenter...I'm hopping for the best...
Great advice from someone who knows.Have faith in yourself...God bless.
Well said Curtis. But honestly, most people don't see the writing on the wall, as I did 20 years ago. Thankfully I'm self sufficient in fuelwood, water and electrical power, and will likely pull in woodgas and biogas in time. But from my own experience as a guy in the UK, community is a rare thing, and women don't want to put the work in....they want it readymade on a plate. That's why I've decided to go it alone from now on. Lessons learnt, and gate closed.
Wisdom. It’s hard to find people with the same values and work ethic. So I’m on my own too. Peace of mind instead of drama.
We built our farm with. Spade, Shovel, Fork, some compost, garden lime, gypsum and some seeds. We invested everything we had, €2,400 and sold my van to boost an extra €900.
Over the space of 5 years, I grew from 1 to 104 clients with a few restaurants. I built the farm up with money I first earned myself. No debt no drama. We rented so land costs where ongoing but €500 a month.
Was it hard, yes it was, was it worth it, oh my god yes
I live near a town of 1700. Drive 4 miles to work, and get a lot of overtime. My employer is always looking to hire people who are willing to learn and work.
