It's our biggest concern next to successful planting. We've discovered an "element" of concern lives off the back of our property. To that end, we have Practice Sunday get togethers with our growing partners (extended family). Skill building, first aid training and defense tactics. Being a group of veterans of varying ages keeps us fresh. Great food too. We make pantry meals using a k.i.s.s. approach to be ready when we are deep in what's coming and so the kids understand without fear that things are changing and we'll be ok.
One of my favorite things is a treehouse- or more accurately, a tree platform. It doesn't work in deciduous trees but if you have conifers (I have redwoods), you can get a cheap chain ladder and pull it up behind you. I've been amazed at how very few people look up, even when they're trying to sneak around.
"Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.” Speak to em 12B. I hear ya and relate. So glad for my Military training, especially today. Once a soldier always a soldier.
That habitual chronic complaining person is someone that hasn't learned to be grateful. I think your channel content is perfect. I'm into praying, permaculture, and prepping.
Right? If someone watches this video and their first thought is "I should complain in the comment section", then that person clearly needs some prayer.
Just in the past hour I discovered your videos. Brother, you are LOADED with common sense, ethics, righteousness, and all things GOOD! Keeping it short so I can use part of this evening binging on some of your videos.
I agree with everything you said but I would add two more things. First, after you prep yourself, prep your neighbors, and help them to prep their’s. Set up mutual aid networks with these neighbors. Have monthly or bimonthly meetings to discuss hazards and potential threats and what to do to better prepare for them. That way they will be allies rather than potential liabilities or attackers. What happens if some neighbors don’t want to prep or don’t want to participate in the mutual aid network? Good advance information to know, isn’t it? Second, extend your mutual aid network to your bug out location(s). If you have to evacuate your homestead, you will have a destination and a safe place to stay when you arrive. Bottom line: To have a friend, you have to be a friend. In a SHTF scenario you will need all the friends that you can get. Were a friend is defined as someone who has your back.
@Perma Pastures Farm You are welcome too. You can set up what I call a mutual aid corridor like an overlapping daisy chain in which each participating homestead is part of two neighborhood groups rather than just one, then the chain can be used to pass information along the corridor even in a grid down SHTF scenario. It also allows you to have safe houses all along the corridor - useful during a bug out evacuation or a resupply. To stay prepared all the members have to do is to meet with their two respective neighborhood groups on a regular basis. Once every month or even every other month should be sufficient.
@Perma Pastures Farm You and I seem to be on the same page. I actually have family in Hendersonville and Asheville, NC that I don’t get to visit as much as I would like. They don’t live far from where you are. God’s country. You couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to set up your homestead.
Keep dropping this heat Billy! In My opinion this stuff is part of permaculture in the broader sense. As we design our homestead from the ground up we are taking all of this into account.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 this even applies to not having one HUGE shop or structure on your property. Structure fires occur, and wouldn't it be nice to not LOSE everything. Sure its less efficient, but for me its piece of mind.
Hidden garden!! Yes!! That’s one of my goals!! Everything we have planted on our homestead (other than my husbands morning glory’s and Moon flowers) has been edible! Even our trees…. And most people don’t even know about it! I love this!
Bravo! I love that you told people to go elsewhere if they don't like what you're saying. I see a lot of people change their content to suit people who don't even like them simply for views. I'm glad you're not acting apologetic and trying to tailor your content because someone got offended or whatever. That's awesome! More power to you, brother. P.s. love the content!
That was a really powerful comment or admonition about carefully selecting who you tell your business to and who you associate with during this day and time.Glad you included that toward the beginning. Thanks and Jesus bless.
I love watching for your knowledge and advice on homesteading and permaculture but I also love the fact that you keep it real with all the other aspects of life, God and even tactical advice. All of these things are so valuable and I believe they go together. Thank you and God bless you for sharing!!!
Soggy Bottom here. Praise the LORD that we people the viewers have likes of you. A person should NEVER disclose what defense you have! Love your videos and your stance and love of our LORD.
I subscribed for the permaculture. But I’m also staying for the preparedness. I have no military experience, so you present a different set of ideas I had never thought of. I grew up lower middle class, and I had some pretty lean times on my own in my 20’s. I had a Scarlett O’Hara moment and decided I would make sure I had food. 16 years of medical field taught me to be prepared for all things medical, water, fire. And the information you present helps round out my knowledge. So I thank you. God Bless! 💚
If we were living in the end days before the return of Christ, would we know? Maybe some of us might have a gut feeling. I have that gut feeling. I could be wrong. 🤷♂️
There are LOTS of permaculture/homestead channels out there. I think a channel with some mix of practical advice on the defensive, logistics, and strategic aspects of being on the land would be something helpful and rare. It is VERY site and threat specific, but could broken down into some degree of types of situations . I am minded this way, so for me these things have been built years ago and able to be melded and grown I to my landscape...it takes time, and money (materials, equipment) to create most of these things. I am near a population center, but have topography and privacy on my side. Most locals dont even know my place exists. Threats are broken into types, and LP/OP points are pre-built, and denial of access of foot, and high speed traffic are addressed. It could be done at neutral sites away from your location, as not compromise your situation. Additional supplies for denial of access are pre-acquired (not necessarily purchased) and staged in areas where they don't seem out of place, but are easily moved if the need should arise. Even creating solutions for neighbors who may be in need, but won't be given access to the core of my property has been addressed.
Hey Billy! I appreciate you! I tune in for both permaculture and homestead security. More of these videos (even if on another channel) would be helpful. Also, your point from another video about praying for God's protection and blessing gave me pause... My wife, son, and I went out and prayed for the Lord's blessing and protection over our new orchard. We need to do the same for the grape/berry plants put in this last weekend.

I appreciate your information. I’m not sure if you’re getting negative comments about this sort of content but I don’t feel it is necessary to start another channel. I’m listening and learning which is why I started watching your videos.
I am glad you bring in prayer. I don't understand, if a person doesn't like it why are they watching you. I am believing in GOD to protect me. He has shown me that I need to be prepared so I am. I have seen the take it attitude in my family. Never would have believed it in that person. You have given me lots to think about. I am alone so have to protect myself so all info I can get Is important. I appreciate your channel because you cover all the aspects of homesteading and just plain living, safely and productivity.
Amen love the channel, God bless from Texas. Keep doing what you're doing I like the variety and like you said keep praying, if people don't like it there are other channels. Semper Fi
Brother, it doesn't matter what kind of video you do or what it's about. All of them are great videos. You talk about anything you want because me and a lot of people are going to watch it.... bless you and your family..
I appreciate your wisdom. We have been homesteading for 7 years with the same mindset, and as the world climate gets more hostile, the more necessary this way of life is. Thanks for sharing and for standing up for Godly values and perspectives.
This was great billy thanks to you I will always refer to our bees 🐝 as flying snapping turtles 🐢 lol I don’t know how you can take such a stressful subject matter and stand me up belly laughing we love your channel keep up the great work 🤙🏻
Best Tip was being in Right Relationship with God. Years ago I read the Survivor's Club. He discovered those that heard Holy Spirit had the highest Survival Rate of all and were the most effective people in a disaster/emergency situation. These Defense Tips are great, opens up thinking. Personally I Tune in for the Permaculture and Homesteading n was thrilled to discover a Channel that was God Centered and openly relates Beliefs to Current Events.
A tactical homestead channel would be of very much use and I would subscribe. Your wisdom and natural ability to teach is a blessing and appreciated. Another video or Zoom, if you are inclined or have time, would be the power of prayer and spiritual armor.
Billy, don't change a thing! These are relevant topics and for those that aren't thinking of them... well, they will soon. I pray for you and yours, may God protect you and keep you
Several generation military family, 31 year army retired here. We have similar setups. Yours looks great. I appreciate both the permaculture *and* tactical talk. They go hand in hand. Both have to do with physical security and sustaining life. Thank you for bringing God into the discussions. Agreed He is the focal point of everything we do.
I ended up here because of the tactical/ land defense topic. I’ve been sticking around to see more and to also learn some more about homesteading. I’m sure there are many more like myself that would love to gain more knowledge from your military past. Pass on some solid life lessons and tactics.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21. Thanks bud, people really benefit from men like you. Knowledge is power. I agree with you on it’s sad that us Americans are having to worry about obtaining such knowledge. Praying for more secure times. Definitely subscribing to keep up with the channel. Thank you for your service
Amen 🙏🏻- we truly appreciate your informative content, I don't leave my Montgomery County home without my Friend, It's legal here & being 55yrs old & a grieving mother already , I WILL PUT ANYONE DOWN WHO STEPS ON OUR PROPERTY! GOD BLESS you Mr. Billy , your beautiful wife Michelle & Son William , Stay safe 🙏🏻 Josette 🇨🇱 🙏🏻 🇨🇱 🙏🏻 🇨🇱 🙏🏻
Montgomery county? That's a beautiful area, but certainly close enough to Houston that keeping your guard up probably isn't a bad idea. God Bless Texas. 🙏
Well placed raised beds are part of our strategy we also quit pruning some of our fruit trees that are in plain sight so they don’t invite someone to see what else might be being grown
I appreciate the information, Billy. All of your content on this channel is relevant. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge and for always giving the credit to God. I keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏
I tune in for the permaculture but a dose of reality never hurts. Some pills are hard to swallow. I have complained on your channel before. You came back to me with Honest answer. I nodded my head, thought fair enough and continue watching. Respect.
I appreciate all your insight! You're absolutely right...you can have all the preps in the world but if your first prep is not getting your heart right then you'll never be truly prepared! Blessings to you and the fam!
Thanks, you are doing a good job! Just be who you are, don't worry about what others think. Let them do it their way after watching you do it your way. Can't please everyone, have a good day! God Bless you and yours for sharing,!
I appreciate that you included prayer in this presentation. It's obvious that you're sincere about this and that it would have been insincere to leave it out. Please keep telling it to us honestly.
You did not explain how a heart shaped pond is used in military. Not everyone knows. Thank you for permaculture info plus mil/prepper info. It's all valuable.
Great video and subject matter brother..! I do think you should continue to sprinkle in content like this; because in these uncertain times building a homestead will do little to sustain your family and friends if you can’t defend it. Obviously prayer is of utmost importance, but practical knowledge is also what Scripture directs us to seek. God said His people die for lack of knowledge.
So true regarding the habitual problems. When I was a kid, I worked on one ranch that was owned by a WW2 marine. He had zero, and I mean zero tolerance for fence crawlers. If he found a cow that was out more than a time or two, off to market. No questions. One will teach others to do the same and it's all downhill from there. He had a 30M1 behind the seat of his truck at all times and people knew not to mess around with him. He was a nice guy and all but very no nonsense.
I love the fact that I have wild blackberry all over the back line of my property. Living edible security plant. I doubt anyone wants to walk thru a. 30×100' of blackberry briars. Especially when they are mixed with wild climbing roses. I'm planning on putting another fence line of thorny blackberries so I will have 2 sides blocked with thorny Briars.
Best teacher on basic self defense from the ground up! Unquestionably most helpful and there are no substitutes for survival. Self defense has become a lot more urgent and important now after what we are seeing in the world. Basic human nature has not changed but good people are at the risk of being over run by the thugs. This is what I was looking for as we know we are now cornered at home and abroad. Survival belongs to human who prepared rightfully. Best wishes and best regards.
Stay true to yourself. I enjoy your videos and many times it makes me think of things a different way . Does everything you say resonate 100%?, Prob not. Do Ithink it makes sense? Absolutely!. I like to hear your words and hear your thought process. It's very informative. Knowledge is a gift many take for granted. Thanks for sharing all of this and keep it up.
You are absolutely right Billy. God, Country and Family! Please continue with all the content you offer. As for those who have a problem with your spiritual values well, that will be between them and God. Stay safe, prosper and God Bless!
Good for you for not changing who you are! If people don’t want to hear the “religious slant” than they can move along! Plenty of secular youtube channels to pick from out there. My message to those folks is, “Don’t let the door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!”
OMGoodness I've been so focused on selling our home up north and rehabbing our Mobil home on our new property I have completely overlooked protection 🤦🤦🤬. We have 25 acres and no idea how to defend it. Wow I could really use someone like you to assess our land and situation. But like you said, be careful who you trust. I'll be waiting for more video s on this topic. I'm sure other people would be interested also. 🙏❤️
I remember someone who traveled many dangerous areas once said something like "Many people talk about Beans, Bullets and Band Aids. In all my years I have used a lot of Beans, a few Band Aids, but never had to use any Bullets". They went on to say most people get this exactly backwards. From a civilian POV IMHO even though I've had training, guns are a last resort. Having medical supplies and knowing how to patch someone up is more important, and you'd better have a secure way to eat and not starve. Opsec is of great importance and having a big mouth can cause you to loose everything. Thanks for your Channel.
pray is most important to me too Billy, start every day with the Lord - sometimes I'm still in bed - been that way for forty or so years (my i' didn't realize i was getting that old). we love your videos, learn a lot, laugh a lot sometimes, but mostly just appreciate hearing a brother talk about things that are true. plus we love the "homestead honey".
One channel is plenty. Yes, I am into permaculture. But I would not have wanted to miss this information-a bear fence, snapping turtles and bees!!! Wonderful video.
Billy, May I suggest that folks need to learn the importance of being prepared in their heart & mind first. If you can't figure out who you are, what you have and where it is or is going to be, all of the tools & toys in the world are useless. Farmers/homesteaders have to be prepared to survive, know their neighbors and understand the lay of their land. You are 100% correct about starting with prayer. Everyone can pray, even if you have never set foot in a church. God is listening to you. Try it, you will be surprised how much it helps your soul. If you are working the soil you will gain a greater appreciation of what you have and will be closer to God. Thanks for all that you share.
Billy, please don't change for the idiots in this world. Keep praying, keep growing and God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much my friend

I think home defense is very relevant in our current environment. You should be prepared to defend your family and your homestead.
I couldn’t agree more!
Especially from g-men wanting to slaughter your animals.
It's our biggest concern next to successful planting. We've discovered an "element" of concern lives off the back of our property. To that end, we have Practice Sunday get togethers with our growing partners (extended family). Skill building, first aid training and defense tactics. Being a group of veterans of varying ages keeps us fresh. Great food too. We make pantry meals using a k.i.s.s. approach to be ready when we are deep in what's coming and so the kids understand without fear that things are changing and we'll be ok.

It’s all part of it. Self sufficiency includes self defense
One of my favorite things is a treehouse- or more accurately, a tree platform. It doesn't work in deciduous trees but if you have conifers (I have redwoods), you can get a cheap chain ladder and pull it up behind you. I've been amazed at how very few people look up, even when they're trying to sneak around.
That is an excellent point my friend
Very true. Although if your facing multiple adversaries without any back up, it might not be ideal because you can't fall back.
"Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.” Speak to em 12B.
I hear ya and relate. So glad for my Military training, especially today.
Once a soldier always a soldier.
Me and you roll the same way my brother!
I stay as far away from my enemies as I can. The more access to me and my people that they have gives them more chances to cause problems.

I’m sure there are many more like myself that would love to gain more knowledge from your military past. Pass on some solid life lessons and tactics.
I’ll try to reveal more of that in the future my friend.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21. Thanks bud, people really benefit from men like you. Knowledge is power. I agree with you on it’s sad that us Americans are having to worry about obtaining such knowledge. Praying for more secure times.
Definitely subscribing to keep up with the channel.
Thank you for your service
Amen 🙏🏻- we truly appreciate your informative content, I don't leave my Montgomery County home without my Friend, It's legal here & being 55yrs old & a grieving mother already , I WILL PUT ANYONE DOWN WHO STEPS ON OUR PROPERTY! GOD BLESS you Mr. Billy , your beautiful wife Michelle & Son William ,
Stay safe 🙏🏻
Josette 🇨🇱 🙏🏻 🇨🇱 🙏🏻 🇨🇱 🙏🏻
That’s what I’m talking about
Montgomery county? That's a beautiful area, but certainly close enough to Houston that keeping your guard up probably isn't a bad idea.
God Bless Texas. 🙏
Well placed raised beds are part of our strategy we also quit pruning some of our fruit trees that are in plain sight so they don’t invite someone to see what else might be being grown
That’s what I’m talking about
Keep standing up for your faith Billy. More power to you!
Thank you so much my friend
People trying take the Creator out of the picture is exactly why we are all having to deal with all of this mess in the first place.
I think you said it perfectly right there
Your neighbors are also part of your security.Strengthen those connections whenever you can.
I wish I would’ve thought of putting that in there my friend!
I appreciate the information, Billy. All of your content on this channel is relevant. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge and for always giving the credit to God. I keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏
Thank you so much and blessings to you and yours my friend
Blessings Billy and family, julie
Blessings to you and yours Julie!
I’d love a 10 part series on this!
I will have to see what I can do my friend
Thanks. Helping Others Prepare For Emergencies and Helping Others Prepare for Eternity H-O-P-E Family Minutes
No that’s an acronym I can get behind
Great points, Billy. Not enough people think like this until it is too late.
Sadly, I have to totally agree my friend.
Thank you Billy for sharing your knowledge! Amen to sharing JESUS !
My Lord and Savior
Good for you for standing up for what’s right first of all! Your beliefs and rights and the Creator! 👏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏽
Thank you so much for those kind words my friend
I tune in for the permaculture but a dose of reality never hurts. Some pills are hard to swallow. I have complained on your channel before. You came back to me with Honest answer. I nodded my head, thought fair enough and continue watching. Respect.
We aren’t always going to agree my friend. Thank you so much for reaching out
No need for another channel. You bring value and give glory to God. Keep sharing truth, wisdom and your knowledge.
Thank you so much for weighing in!
Your stance on what and you believe is why I listen to you, I am glad you put God first.
Thank you so much for that my friend!
No need for another channel. I love all your content!! I love most of all that you know where your hope, protection and strength lies, God Almighty!!
Blessings to you and yours my friend!
Amen Billy! First and foremost is where you stand with the Lord. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing.
Thank you so much for that my friend
Glad you mention the spiritual component...so important
It’s definitely the most important component!
I like all of your informational videos,regardless of the topic.
You are too kind! Thank you so much
love your information and 100% with you as to put God 1st! prayer works!!!
Thank you! Blessings to you and yours my friend!
I appreciate all your insight! You're absolutely right...you can have all the preps in the world but if your first prep is not getting your heart right then you'll never be truly prepared! Blessings to you and the fam!
Thank you and blessings to you and yours my friend
Great tips Billy!! You are right on!! We are working hard over here in Middle TN to get everything done, and praying for time!
I’m also praying for Time as well my friend
Thanks, you are doing a good job! Just be who you are, don't worry about what others think. Let them do it their way after watching you do it your way. Can't please everyone, have a good day! God Bless you and yours for sharing,!
Thanks a million for the vote of confidence BJ! Blessings to you and yours!
I appreciate that you included prayer in this presentation. It's obvious that you're sincere about this and that it would have been insincere to leave it out. Please keep telling it to us honestly.
God Bless you, brother. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you my friend and blessings to you and yours!
Stand your ground! Great advice and absolutely agree, prayer life and relationship with Jesus is key to all.
Nothing is more important my friend
I just prayed for my family, house and home. Thank you for the great advice.
You did not explain how a heart shaped pond is used in military. Not everyone knows.
Thank you for permaculture info plus mil/prepper info. It's all valuable.
Sorry about that my friend! It’s shaped in such a way where two people could be situated in opposite directions covering the road.
More cover. I know I'd rather be in a heart shaped pond than a simple circle.
I really need to get a backhoe attachment for my tractor. 🤔
We truly appreciate you. Thanks for your time in creating these videos and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for that kind response my friend
I appreciate your content and always learn something. So, whatever the Lord lays on your heart, Do It. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch and respond my friend
Great video and subject matter brother..! I do think you should continue to sprinkle in content like this; because in these uncertain times building a homestead will do little to sustain your family and friends if you can’t defend it. Obviously prayer is of utmost importance, but practical knowledge is also what Scripture directs us to seek. God said His people die for lack of knowledge.
I just entitled a video that very thing a little while back.
So true regarding the habitual problems. When I was a kid, I worked on one ranch that was owned by a WW2 marine. He had zero, and I mean zero tolerance for fence crawlers. If he found a cow that was out more than a time or two, off to market. No questions. One will teach others to do the same and it's all downhill from there. He had a 30M1 behind the seat of his truck at all times and people knew not to mess around with him. He was a nice guy and all but very no nonsense.
I definitely understand where he’s coming from
Amen to the hedge of protection!! ❤️
I think we all could use those these days
I love the fact that I have wild blackberry all over the back line of my property. Living edible security plant. I doubt anyone wants to walk thru a. 30×100' of blackberry briars. Especially when they are mixed with wild climbing roses. I'm planning on putting another fence line of thorny blackberries so I will have 2 sides blocked with thorny Briars.
Best teacher on basic self defense from the ground up!
Unquestionably most helpful and there are no substitutes for survival.
Self defense has become a lot more urgent and important now after what we are seeing in the world.
Basic human nature has not changed but good people are at the risk of being over run by the thugs.
This is what I was looking for as we know we are now cornered at home and abroad.
Survival belongs to human who prepared rightfully.
Best wishes and best regards.
Stay true to yourself. I enjoy your videos and many times it makes me think of things a different way . Does everything you say resonate 100%?, Prob not. Do Ithink it makes sense? Absolutely!. I like to hear your words and hear your thought process. It's very informative. Knowledge is a gift many take for granted. Thanks for sharing all of this and keep it up.
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence my friend!
You are absolutely right Billy. God, Country and Family! Please continue with all the content you offer. As for those who have a problem with your spiritual values well, that will be between them and God. Stay safe, prosper and God Bless!
Thank you and blessings to you and yours my friend
Appreciate your military way of thinking, backed by faith first. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much my friend
Good for you for not changing who you are! If people don’t want to hear the “religious slant” than they can move along! Plenty of secular youtube channels to pick from out there. My message to those folks is, “Don’t let the door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!”
That’s definitely one of my favorite quotes!
OMGoodness I've been so focused on selling our home up north and rehabbing our Mobil home on our new property I have completely overlooked protection 🤦🤦🤬. We have 25 acres and no idea how to defend it. Wow I could really use someone like you to assess our land and situation. But like you said, be careful who you trust. I'll be waiting for more video s on this topic. I'm sure other people would be interested also. 🙏❤️
Best wishes on your new adventure my friend! I’ll see about covering this topic more in the future.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 thank you
I remember someone who traveled many dangerous areas once said something like "Many people talk about Beans, Bullets and Band Aids. In all my years I have used a lot of Beans, a few Band Aids, but never had to use any Bullets". They went on to say most people get this exactly backwards. From a civilian POV IMHO even though I've had training, guns are a last resort. Having medical supplies and knowing how to patch someone up is more important, and you'd better have a secure way to eat and not starve. Opsec is of great importance and having a big mouth can cause you to loose everything. Thanks for your Channel.
pray is most important to me too Billy, start every day with the Lord - sometimes I'm still in bed - been that way for forty or so years (my i' didn't realize i was getting that old). we love your videos, learn a lot, laugh a lot sometimes, but mostly just appreciate hearing a brother talk about things that are true. plus we love the "homestead honey".
You are too kind my friend!
Im here for anything related to homesteading plus anything you feel like talking about. If people leave the channel, they leave.
One channel is plenty. Yes, I am into permaculture. But I would not have wanted to miss this information-a bear fence, snapping turtles and bees!!! Wonderful video.
Thank you so much my friend
Billy, May I suggest that folks need to learn the importance of being prepared in their heart & mind first. If you can't figure out who you are, what you have and where it is or is going to be, all of the tools & toys in the world are useless. Farmers/homesteaders have to be prepared to survive, know their neighbors and understand the lay of their land. You are 100% correct about starting with prayer. Everyone can pray, even if you have never set foot in a church. God is listening to you. Try it, you will be surprised how much it helps your soul. If you are working the soil you will gain a greater appreciation of what you have and will be closer to God. Thanks for all that you share.
Excellent points my friend! Starting from the heart and mind is the most important place.
I just found this channel. Very helpful. God bless you and your family in these uncertain times.
Welcome aboard! I am so glad to have you my friend
I appreciate all the info you give thank you. Id watch another channel from you guys. Peace Friends. -Melanie🦋
