    I'm 21 and I know how to cook more then most of my friends that are around my age. But as soon as I turned ten I was expected to help on the kitchen and by thirteen I was expected to be able make dinner on my own. I can even make bread from scratch.

    OK...now you've got me thinking....the little barn needs to become not only a place for the tractor to live during really nasty weather but maybe even have a "summer kitchen" with a wood stove....oofta!

    Holy hell Boss, your philosophies speak to me on so many different levels, i don't even know where to begin...the only word that is screaming to be let out is.. perfection, and please know that i don't throw that word around loosely. Thank you my friend, for doing what you do, and showing what you know.

    I know a thing or two about a thing or two, but every time I watch one of your videos I learn something. Pioneer cooking with a microwave....now that's funny

    Watching your cooking videos hungry isn't advised, most turn out so good.

    I will never understand why so many of us became so reliant on "the grid." It's tough to hear stories about some control against things like the wood fire. It just makes more sense to provide for oneself - especially when it comes down to the basics of survival. We put way to much responsibility of others. I can tell you that I've relaxed a bit too much. I don't believe this is a novelty at all, but rather a necessity to community and mostly self. The tough part is to get something back that you've let go. The great thing is,, it's never really gone, you just have to relearn it while its easier, instead of crash-learning it when its really needed. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing your lifestyle. It's not only inspirational, it's the way to a person's freedom.

    I agree with you about people now days not knowing how to cook or require all sorts of gadgets. I was raised in South Louisiana and my Grandfather taught all the grandkids how to cook on a wood cook stove he had 'liberated from a cook car when he worked as an engineer.
