Hi Shawn. Great video as usual! Absolutely love watching everything develop as it's being built and the knowledge you have and share is a blessing to many.
I would like to comment on the 100 acres property pertaining to it being a primary bedding ground with very little food sources. Besides thinning the timber to create browse for the deer, are there any spaces where you might be able to put in perennial food plots like clover, alfalfa, or even fall/winter annual food plots like brassicas, turnips, radishes? Both would have tremendous holding power for the deer on your property but also be excellent food sources for bears, turkeys, rabbits and the like. I've done this on a little corner of my 4 acres here in Michigan and it's completely made a huge difference on how the deer now utilize a 1/4 acre area to feed on. I have zero bedding on the 4 acres but a food source that has deer feeding in it daily from spring through early winter and it's really been a huge game changer for putting meat in the freezer. Just a thought, and I'm curious if it's possible on your property? The food plots I've mentioned could have tremendous holding power and keep the deer more localized with less traveling for food.

Shaun, I have a couple of questions: first are you going to enclose the outdoor kitchen with screens and windows or leaving it as is? Also, ever thought of using some of the old lamb as bait for hunting bear? The bear leg you were processing had the hide still on, I may have missed the episode where you processed it but did you not skin it first to tan the hide?
Like wow! That was a lot of meat to process kudos to you for making use of almost everything and wasting little. I really enjoyed this episode because I am really interested in doing this as well. Thank you for sharing this with us. And I was going to ask about a smokehouse but you covered that. Lol! How was your experience with the bear? Because I have seen videos of bears with worms hanging out the butt. Not trying to be gross but I am curious about the bear. In the same video, the people said the best bear they ever had was bear that ate a lot of blueberries. Have you planted blueberries?

I like watching you process your game food like that. Reminds me of my childhood with uncles and cousins that did all that taking game from the land and processing it or even my dad and one uncle who raised beef and pigs and the butchered them and processed them and canned everything from the meats to vegetables and fruit back in the 60's & 70's.
Your just sharing your life style and how you get what eat right off the land. Well except the moose like you said.
Thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories of my own.

Damn! That mincer brought back a flood of childhood memories! Family of 9 on dairy /pigs/sheep farms killed all our own meat and made all our own mince on one of those old hand mincers. Hahaha. Never expected that with all the new fangled equipment available today. Egaf a most fortunate dog to beceatinbg beautiful lamb like that. Shootdang I can't even afford to buy a quarter of a piece of that lamb! And the dog gets to eat better than this disabled pensioner! What a sad world we've become.

I am Catalan and I don't speak English, but better or worse, I can communicate with people from all over the world. I watch a documentary about mountain men, trappers, hunters and others, but there is one thing that intrigues me, don't you use a smokehouse for fish and some pieces of meat? I see the roast meat and my mouth waters. I love your videos and your way of life. From Catalonia, receive a cordial greeting

You are a true inspiration. I strive to accomplish the same things that you do. Although I live in Alabama self sufficiency can be accomplished. It's a lot of hard work but it can be done. Family matters seem to be the hardest obstacles to overcome. Please keep up your great videos they're a true inspiration. Maybe one day soon I'll be able to live like you. Thanks.

Cooler ideas, and one I built for early deer season. I built an insulated room, 6 X6 installed a 10k btu air conditioner paired with a coolbot system, and it runs on very little electricity and works flawlessly! I can turn it down to freezing or below, but only set it to 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit. I ve had it for 7 years now, and haven t had to do anything to it!

Shawn, Don't worry about the conditions you process your food in! That is your business! I water bath my tomatoes in my garage. Along with the items I have to pressure cook, like pumpkin, soups and meats. As long as you process it properly in the pressure cooker you will be fine! Think about how they did did it 100 years ago. Keep the vids coming!

I don't hunt, I don't eat a lot of red meant. But I do respect the shit out you for working hard for your food and staying away from the factories and the chemical-based store-bought foods. Keep doing what you do! The world needs more of you. keep educating us! hopefully more will join and carry the skills on.

I believe you re wrong about a wood surface to process your harvest, at least hardwoods as used in butcher blocks are actually self sterilizing, the dry cells within the wood suck the moisture out of any bacteria left on it. You can see this evidenced by how fast a rinsed end- grained cutting board dries!

did I miss something? how do you managed to keep the sterilized jars warm enough pre-stock? had visions of the cooling causing problems? ps LOVE tallow: nothing more lovely than that white ( I use it to make my skin products) as always, hats off Mr. Shawn watching you dance between the tasks was like ballet.

With what you going on in that outdoor kitchen it's no wonder why wolves are around. I wouldn't be surprised if there were bears, cougars, coyotes, coons, skunks, badgers, rats, mice and everything else in the forest knocking on the door. Maybe even buzzards, ravens and magpies circling above.

Shawn, I suggested this once before - look up recipes for hot water cornbread. Delicious with chili and quick to make when you want bread but don't have any made or want to save it for sandwiches. Leftovers fried then topped with butter and maple syrup are yummy.

In food processing, the wooden block for cutting meat is disinfected if you put a 3 cm layer of salt on it and leave it overnight. This is how food processing professionals kill bacteria on porous work surfaces that cannot be disinfected in any other way.

Shawn please never apologize for honesty! You show the complete process, not a pipe-dream of wilderness adventure fantasy.
Your game dressing skills are no less important than your carpentry.
Both are fundamental for this lifestyle.
Scruffle Cali for me.
