Updates on the off grid homestead for the day. Some garden updates, working on the lumber mill, picking blueberries and more.

It rained finally which the land desperately needed. Everything was dying and the garden was struggling badly. In the night the land got a good soaking.

I walked around the garden and show you how things are doing now. Some plants are thriving while others are not doing so well. It could be due to the heat and lack of rain although we do water the garden daily. The sun just zaps the moisture out quickly.

I spent a lot of time working on the lumber mill chainsaw chain. I finally got it all freed up and working nicely. I attached my chainsaw to see if it would fit and it fit just right. But the only problem is that the old chain is either too long for my chainsaw or it is stretched out too much. I cannot get it tight enough to run it.

I can take out some links and get a master key in order to run it for now I guess.

On our path to self sufficiency we are harvesting and preserving our own foods.

We are salt curing some of the fish that we just caught on our last fishing trip. The salt will pull out all the moisture from the fish and dry it out fully. The salt will also preserve the fish at the same time. This can be kept without refrigeration with no problem. I put it into the oven where the pilot light will help speed up the drying process. Normally you can sun dry the fish but we dont have any sun recently.

We picked about 3 more pounds of wild blueberries from our land. I think this makes 12 pounds this year so far and the season has just started. We plan to get at least 30 pounds this year. Last year we had 16 pounds but we got to a later start.

I want to sun dry some blueberries and put them aside to make pemmican during the deer season. This makes a good, long term storage food for emergency, survival and hiking trips.
