Living off the land on a hunter's homestead in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Raising hearts, minds, and next-generation leaders with a passion for resilience through self-sufficiency & community.

Hit my goal for 2023 to be on TSP. What should next years’ goal be?

Big News! 🚨 Bobbie, owner of Parrs Jars is going to be a guest on the long-standing show #TheSurvivalPodcast on November 29 at 12pm CST about Using Local Food as a Tool to Empower Your Community.

Bobbie has been an avid listener since 2011 and is thrilled to get the opportunity to speak to the legendary modern survival teacher #JackSpirko.

Jack Spirko is the host of The Survival Podcast.  The show has been running since 2008 and now has over 3,000 episodes available on all aspects of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, independence and personal liberty.

Spirko calls himself a Modern Survivalist and claims to have coined the phrase. His assertion is that all humans are at their core survivalists, as they all seek to survive.

Modern Survivalism differs from the conventional concept of survivalism in that it does not turn away from modern technology, rather it simply seeks to create redundancies for when technology fails.

Additionally modern survivalism is very broad including aspects of homesteading, investing, economics, debt elimination, individual sovereignty, permaculture along with traditional survivalist concepts like primitive skills and military tactics.

Spirko has been called the face of the modern survival movement by media personality Judge Andrew Napalatono and has been featured in a variety of media including Fox News, The Glenn Beck Show and The Houston Chronicle.

My first time really trying #canning.

#grownostr #homeschooling #homesteading #nostr

Awesome you’re taking aim at canning! I’ve always thought when waterbathing you should submerge the entire jar in water with about an inch overtop. For pressure canning, you just need the bottom third filled with water.

I’m on local cable this morning about food production/food system efforts. I don’t have cable at home but I’m coming off a night shift and they do. I turned the channel to it and my client yells NO NO NO, that’s junk, I don’t watch junk—find kung fu! 😂

I’ve been MIA from all things internet lately, I’ve barely even listened to podcasts for the first time in 10 years. I’ve been busy with two jobs, a homestead and a business.

We’ve gotten 20 chickens.

Gardens are in action.

Yard is finally coming together.

Rooms are getting organized post baby-toddler madness.

Production workshop we built has been rented by the co-op I helped found.

My hard work as a volunteer to found this food co-op has turned into a paid coordination contract. They offered me $15 EXTRA/hr, highest wage I’ve ever had, to work remotely most days.

I get to learn from an awesome partner organization.

I still run my business and am improving digital mechanisms and labelling my product line for store shelves.

I love my nights position working with people with disabilities in their homes. I help people and get a pay check to sleep.

My kids are happy and we have an ECE sitter who comes to the homestead 3days per week.

We’ve been camping a lot close to home to keep my hubby happy, he’s been helping with all this and was starting to get tired of no down time.

Its all coming together nicely but hasn’t been without effort every waking moment for 3 years.

Really looking forward to the times ahead. ❤️
