"The Clunes are under the impression that the way to tell if a chicken will lay, is to inspect it's vent." followed by "Some homesteaders knew very little about animals." Priceless!

It's kind of sad that an overweight man believes he's 'fading away' because he's down to a healthy weight and more muscular body type.

I guess that really goes to show just how bad Americans are with the weight problem. Fat is now healthy.

I'm also curious if he was sick the day after eating the snake with beans. My grandpa used to tell us not to eat rattlesnakes because they gave you the runs.

oops *Clune!

How are they not kicked off yet!? For the contraband and 21st century mingle? I don't think the Cloon family is learning anything from this or taking an experience from it!

Well I agree, but it seems like he isn't gaining any muscle. If you're working as hard as he is, I'd worry too. I'd expect to at least gain some muscle. Or... maybe he didn't have any the first place. He is a CEO.

omg protein, protein, protein. he's at a perfectly healthy weight! wtf is he cry babying about now?

"So anyway, Lord..." LOL!

You actually can tell if a hen is laying by seeing how many fingers you can fit between the 2 pelvic BONES at the rear end (that stick out), but definitely not by putting your fingers up a chicken's ass hole...

Filtered water (clean water) was possible at that time.. Cause before u actually buy a filter.. Prople just boiled Water.. Boiling Water is form Of cleaning (filtering) the water.

When u go camping that's how people still do it!

Uncle gordon was a fatty and now he's healthy! TA DAA!!!

[jparker59able]

All of the photos I've ever seen of the men (settlers) from that period were thin and sinewy. Wouldn't it have been that way from all the hard daily work to survive along with sometime meager rations?

Filtered water? In 1883?
