[00:00:02] We are The Prepper Broadcasting Network
[00:00:32] So Kyle Prepper, she will be a reoccurring guest here on The Prepper Broadcasting Network And you need to understand what she's done in her little space And also the limitations, right? 120 square foot prepping, the show is called And that's her room size, and she lives in a room So, you know, this idea of 40 acres, okay, it's an idea But it sure as hell ain't the only way to get it done, right?
[00:00:59] So, I have been homesteading on less than an acre for 10 years, right? And there are things that I do each year that I think are essential to self-reliance And there are things that I try and have tried that are not as much So, if I were to establish sort of the basis of an anywhere homestead An anywhere homestead and everywhere homestead
[00:01:25] There are things that I would have to have right off the bat, okay? There are things that I'd have to have immediately for that level of self-sufficiency So we're going to kind of try to focus on, you know, production of your survival necessities With this exercise I've said it for a very long time I will say it again
[00:01:54] All the gardening and permaculturing and, you know, whatever else you do with growing food Everyone's first priority, I think, when you... Because what really changes you from a gardener to a homestead is protein, right? That's what it always felt like to me Going from being a big old gardener I like to garden Going from that to actually feeling like I'm homesteading It was all about the addition of protein
[00:02:23] And there is one way to add protein There's only really one way to add protein That is as efficient and requires no butchering And that's eggs You know, so the hyper-efficient use of the eggs The creation of the eggs The raising of the hens for the eggs Though it is not sustainable long-term Because eventually your hens will age out
[00:02:54] I think it's imperative I think it's a step one In this whole process And the other reason I think the hens are so important Is because they don't have to be chickens You might say to yourself I don't got room for chickens, man I can't do chickens Okay Well, that's okay Can't do chickens, that's okay We've talked at great length About the capabilities of quail
[00:03:23] And quail lay eggs every day, too Carl B Had a boon of quail eggs for a while there You know, and it's just It's one of those things that can easily be achieved Quail can be raised indoors Quail can be raised in a shed Quail can, as long as you have a food source for them You can do quail And you can get eggs If you've got water You know, water on property
[00:03:52] Little creek, little pond Whatever it is You could even consider ducks I hear they're messy I don't have ducks I hear they're messy little creatures But it is what it is, right? So Honestly, your primary focus If you're going to take a property No matter how big or how small And really forge toward a homestead Really start producing something That sets you apart from just a person With a garden or a big garden or whatever Start with eggs
[00:04:20] Start with egg production It's daily All you've got to do is feed in water It's daily You protect the flock It's daily Eggs Protein Powerful protein source Each and every day No butchering No spoilage really To worry about You have an easy item That you can hand off to other people For barter For trade For help Whatever Eggs Okay If you can't get eggs done In your area Fight
[00:04:51] Okay Fight So that you can get eggs done I'm sorry The world is exploding With conversation As soon as I press record So PBN family When I started With my journey Towards chickens Here in Richmond We weren't allowed To have them either Well we could have them But we almost couldn't have them Because of the stipulations So we had to fight You know And we won that battle
[00:05:20] And you know That was a battle That was a battle That took some Time And took some effort But we got it done You know We went to City Hall And we made our case And got some zoning laws changed And all It's very possible Okay Sometimes you gotta do work On your end Before you can have The things that you want Don't depend on a representative Don't depend on somebody Who tells you They're gonna do something for you Sometimes it's gotta be you And that's a part of homesteading too Now This day and age
[00:05:50] You know So you may have to get Some rules changed Some laws changed Some things Right I think step number two Step number one Eggs Protein You can do them anywhere If you have the boldness within you You can do eggs anywhere Right Second step is water You want homestead You should have access to a water source My recommendation is rain barrels
[00:06:19] Because we all got roofs and gutters Right And then along with your rain barrel installation You should also consider Maybe some PVC pipe And running Some Some of that pipe Or having enough pipe That you can run it in directions That you want to run it into Or maybe soaker hoses Or something along those lines But ideally You know We have The rain barrels
[00:06:48] For emergency water But the rain barrels Can also As well as long As well as being for Emergency water If you're depending on a garden On your In your self-reliant homestead And And And
