I agree. I don't raise meat animals although my 110 pound dog has given me a few moments when I thought "you are so lucky you are cute or else! I do have a vegetable garden but supplement what I grow with a local farmers market and u-pick berry places. I have gotten into the habit of canning meat in the winter.

Very enjoyable video! I love canning chunked meats, especially a tough cut such as brisket. It makes it so tender. I don’t always want to smoke a brisket so nice having the canning option. I hope we never lose our utilities either but I also never believed this country would be at this state it’s evolved in just 3 short years. Why I’ve bumped up my food preservation. I fear it’s going to get worse.

I remember visiting my Mamaw and Papaw on their farm in West Virginia when I was little. The first time I ever saw a full grown hog I was about six years old. It scared The heck out of me.. I had no idea they got that big, I grew up in California With horses but not pigs or cows. My dad and Uncle's always talk about how when they were kids They would process hogs and Mamaw would cut it all up and cold pack can it all using a huge pot on abig fire outside. He said nobody had ever heard of pressure canning back then. And nobody ever died from eating any of that. Dad said they would do up a couple hundred jars of pork a year. Her whole basement was lined with shelves for food storage. They had a large family and they used to help out coal miners/ neighbors when times were hard. I remember Papa advising me that if I could only raise one animal to eat to raise a hog for the ease to feed it almost anything, it's reproductive ability, and diversity in meal prep. Mamaw had a very large vegetable garden Across the road also. About the size of 2 football fields if I remember right. And at the bottom of the garden papa had a huge pond that he kept fish In. He hand fed those fish every day...He said it made it really easy to catch them when you wanted to eat one. L o l. They also had Dairy cows and beef cows when my dad was young. And of course chickens. They had a little country store Next to the house along the road. Papa went into the grocery business. Not so much to make money but because he really hated How Coal companies Screwed the miners over In their company stores so he opened his own stores and sold them goods cheaper. I love watching your channel because it reminds me of the life My ancestors had for hundreds of years. I have had relatives in the appalachian mountains since the early 1700s.

First I must say you two are so adorable together!! I love watching the whole family work together. I used my canned pork on Monday and had some BBQ sandwiches. I must ask you, what else do you use your chunked up pork in? I know it surely can be used in other ways as well. I'm the same way as you regarding canning the cooked chicken. I like the texture better and that is one meat that can definitely be eaten cold. I've got a couple more chickens in the freezer that I want to cook and can up. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
