Join us as we spend a weekend at Land Between the Lakes during a cold snap right before Halloween! Although it was a little chilly, we remained in good spirits... mainly due to our space heater that kept our tent warm at night 😀 We got to eat some great food, see some cool sights... and even got to stage an impromptu campground Halloween decoration tour! Not a lot of fishing and offroading on this one, but sometimes you gotta let kids be kids and make sure they are still enjoying it too. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to Like & Subscribe!

Their live plants are always lively, and their seeds germinate dang near 100% of the time. Oh, and they toss in free seeds all the time, so that is also awesome! Shout out to Murray McMurray Hatchery Inc. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/index.html. Night and day difference between them and other hatcheries we have used... chicks arrive on time, alive, and there is usually an extra bird or two packed to offset any early losses in mail or brooder. Our fence controllers and electric nets are Premiere1 https://www.premier1supplies.com/. Not the cheapest around, but the best quality we have found thus far. #homestead #homegrown #chickens Music: Soundstripe (Code - DOBL8BBZ6HWWPHSC, KOHPKQXCA5IZCYQ4, TRWHEW2HRFODJUSP)

Join us on a family trip to Pennsylvania as we search the woods for a late season harvest to fill the freezer. We also had the opportunity to teach valuable lessons to our boys about firearm safety and the importance of knowing how to provide for themselves off the land. Simple RECIPE for the BEST backstraps: Begin by taking the backstrap out of the fridge for about 20 minutes to warm to room temperature. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Heat skillet to medium and melt 2 Tbsp of butter. If thinly cut like in the video, cook about 2-3 minutes per side (~160F internal) and enjoy!
