I just came across your blog and am enjoying it. I have never heard of using mesquite to make tea. I must admit I wonder what it would taste like! Blessings. Nice to meet you!

Wish we were closer - we too are trying to separate from the world - not as young as you and it takes a lot more effort. We too have turned from the world's patterns of worship (ie easter/christmas) and embraced His feasts....we are out here - in pockets.

Was the pig you skinned the wild hog Danielle mentioned or another of your own? I read of your tincture making. A process I need to study up on. Have read a bit about it, but haven't tried it yet. A process that's fairly easy, with time and patience, I'd assume. Yes, what a blessing that Bill has gotten needed work to move you forward with your goals. Goats in the spring would be nice. Good job on your outhouse, that is almost finished, and your garden space(s). What a blessing it is for you to be there, learning the ropes and getting established with food provisions, both vegie and meat. Will you start a root cellar soon? Do the others there have cement walls/ceilings if I remember right? In TX, I'm sure the cement helps keep the temp and humidity more properly regulated. And overall is the recommended material to use. Our land is rolling and heavily wooded. Chuck built a root cellar into a hillside with it's door facing toward the southeast with heavy forest cover so it is well shaded. He used log walls and roof and mounded dirt over the roof, just as you would over cement. It's been there over 10 years I'm sure, undoubtedly more, so could be a possible cheaper method than cement to some. Though I know the land there is quite flat overall, so waiting for a cement cellar, roof may be worth the wait. Just sharing. Looking forward to seeing your finished outhouse, garden and fencing projects and next spring your pigs, Debbie. Have a blessed Sabbath and Lords day! Beth Hello again,

Nice to hear back from you. Was the pig you skinned the wild hog Danielle mentioned or another of your own? I read of your tincture making. A process I need to study up on. Have read a bit about it, but haven’t tried it yet. A process that’s fairly easy, with time and patience, I’d assume. Yes, what a blessing that Bill has gotten needed work to move you forward with your goals. Goats in the spring would be nice. Good job on your outhouse, that is almost finished, and your garden space(s). What a blessing it is for you to be there, learning the ropes and getting established with food provisions, both vegie and meat. Will you start a root cellar soon? Do the others there have cement walls/ceilings if I remember right? In TX, I’m sure the cement helps keep the temp and humidity more properly regulated. And overall is the recommended material to use. Our land is rolling and heavily wooded.

Looking forward to seeing your finished outhouse, garden and fencing projects and next spring your pigs, Debbie.

Have a blessed Sabbath and Lords day!

I believe wood is just burned in the cement box but I will have to check with Michael. As for the wood I as well believe that Mesquite will be the wood of choice as it is plentiful here. Well I can't speak for the other ladies but as for myself. I have helped skin my first pig... roasted some mesquite pods for coffee... made some tinctures for allergies and for pain...... Bill and I have not as yet moved back to our land. We are waiting for funds to finish the fence. Bill has received some work which is such a blessing. So Lord willing it will happen soon. I as well will be looking into getting some milk goats in the spring which will give me some time to get housing ready for them. Our garden is almost ready as well and is waiting for the move and a fence. I will let Carol know the composting 2 article. I will post things as they happen. The outhouse is almost done as well!

It was nice of you to post them and share what was worked on/accomplished. Is wood just burned inside the cement/brick box to create the smoke that will transfer via the pipe to the smokehouse? Or is there going to be a metal stove of some type within the brick box? Besides Mesquite and fruitwood; are there plans to try oak, hickory and the like? Nice basket of pods, ladies! Have a blessed November everyone. As I mentioned to Danielle, I'd like to hear via Ladies forum perhaps, or here if you desire; updates as to what the ladies are working on; accomplishments with housing, animal husbandry, whatever... with each family unit if they don't mind. Still looking forward to "Composting 2 article by Carol" for instance. Always enjoy Siffords articles as an example too. Thanks again, Debbie! Beth Thank you for the Ranchfest photos, Debylin.

I used (so I would have alot) 6 ounces of Devils claw and 12 ounces of vanilla vodka. The radio is always 2 to 4. So if you want more or less it works out the same. I haven't used it as yet but it should be ready now. I also read that avocado and soybean oils are great to. They come in a gel/pill form. I keep praying that the Lord will heal these hands.... but if not then may I have the grace to live with it. In this life I sure need the use of them. And you are not rambling on... I appreciate comments, it is nice to know that people are reading and getting some use from my journey. So ramble on..... Debylin Hi Anna thanks for your kind words.

It is so wonderful! I would love the recipe you use for the Devils Claw tincture. I too have osteoarthritis in my hands and this cold weather here in NC is killing my hands. I am originally from Texas, having moved here to NC in June. I also lived not too far from your place in Abilene when I was younger and have been through Santa Anna hundreds of times. I love the Dairy Queen, it was one of the stops before hitting Abilene on the way back from San Antonio. Sorry to ramble on, God Bless, Anna Debylin,
