 Welcome all back to the bear naked treehouse everybody we're doing a home vlog here today I thought I would address the question that I've been seeing is why don't you guys film Lake life family channel anymore we had a second channel we still have it and we have not uploaded to it at a long time so I was going to show you guys give you guys a tour today and then explain to you means that many will explain you why we haven't uploaded to there in forever so let's start by catching things up here at the treehouse first of all if it isn't obvious pretty much every leaf in the forest has fallen at this point what that means here at the treehouse is mom and dad got to do a lot of cleanup and I invested in probably the best purchase that I've made in a mechanical device a backpack leaf blower got a full industrial husky and that baby right there keeps this place in order if you've never blown leaves with a backpack blower it is a game changer and I watched a lot of ghost busters when I was big when I was growing up so you know kind of feels like I got a proton pack all right let's get a little chicken check now our entire flock contracted the pox recently yes the pox chickens get these you know like I don't know they're like scabby sore looking deals it's gross and I've noticed every flock that I've had has got them so it's like inherently in them and even if you have just one chicken the entire flocks gonna get it if they live together share the same food water and they've already gotten gotten it gotten over it and now their immunity is getting back and they look normal but they were having like these big black spots on their waddles and their combs and everything like that so we basically have a bunch of ornamental chickens that don't do much including his roosters a little rooster buddy there he never even makes a noise so he's kind of cool he stays at everybody's way this little fluffer right here she's meaner than a bloodhound she'll take her finger off she looks cute innocent she'll square up she'll square up with you all day Colonel Sanders my main rooster I've got him I've got him tamed down a little bit he just eats out of my hand there you go darling there you go he's starting to get these big old spurs but he'll at least like let me kind of touch him first he was like just a complete untamed raptor and just wouldn't let me get it close to him three eggs I'm in the weird stage this happens every year let me know in the comments is this this is you too if you're a hunter and a fisher it's late season right now haven't really got squat hunting gotten a couple deer but you know definitely haven't filled the tags and I'm just I'm just I'm starting to get like over that hump where I'm like okay I've missed a lot of the hunting opportunity you know now the leaves fall off the trees we're going into winter mode and then my brain starts to switch gears of like oh crappie you're going to be stacking up at the creeks oh down south bass are going to be moving up pre-spawn starts to kind of switch like mid December for me and I'm kind of there right now and I've got a couple things packed right now I've got a just a simple tray full of what I think are going to be pre-spawn essentials and I've got quite a few new plastics that maybe some of you heard about some of you haven't but pretty exciting stuff so I'm going to be filming with that this week Christmas has come early for me in the form of my awesome wife got me safe for the pupus very much necessary especially with the youngest rug rat that will be that you guys probably haven't seen that much he's just a little well he's he's part of the big reason that we don't fill on the lake life family channel I've also been working on another bow a very traditional style bow just finished backing it to this morning with rawhide you guys remember the rawhide that I made back to the bow with it this is a gift for a friend and I'm making a this is this is like a traditional Comanche style horsebow very short and it's gonna be a short draw but it's gonna be designed to for you to get on your horse and go take down a buffalo because everybody does that on weekends now hey booger he's supposed to be asleep what's going on booger wait oh you see a camera I don't you haven't really haven't been around the camera very much so what's going on where you going where you going huh trying to pass me yeah what is that what is that this camera that's camera okay buddy you're just on the stairs you know asking for trouble gosh man you scared me you scared me so much these going down the stairs front like front ways okay can you make it now go big step getting a daddy's tackle how many things are you gonna get into yes I'm gonna pack my plastics in there a you are a ham son you are a ham so this is why we have the safe there I mean he's just everything yeah let me go grab that crossbow over there well this is basically this is basically like you don't need an explanation you just watch for the next couple seconds and you'll understand why we don't do like like life anymore people people have been asking yeah how come you know why why have you guys uploaded and so long and mainly it's because if I give my attention even two seconds away from the kids it's like their world just goes crashing down and they melt with then if my attention is not on him he just he throws tantrums he runs away crying screaming I mean we were making a gingerbread house for 10 minutes and then woke up you know he's supposed to nap for at least an hour and I think his nap was 20 minutes 30 minutes he comes running down the stairs crying he sees what we got going on and he ended up spilling a whole thing of sprinkles all over the floor so I had to go clean that up he immediately gets on the table and slams Emmy cider off the table so it's like you can't I can't plan anything what do you want why do you want that there is no time for extra extra stuff reflection thought for yourself you know when I'm home it is it's just it's just noisy it's so weird when I go somewhere when I get out in the woods and on the water I'm like it is so quiet right now it's just me and it's nature and for you you know you really don't have that escape all that often so I just for anyone out there that doesn't have kids it's very hard to explain but it's just a selfless grind and that's the difference between having a boy right there and having a girl so Emmy you know they just made this sweet little gingerbread house and she's starting to get you know she's very crafty she's very creative she's she's got a lot of Stephanie's qualities and then we have a boy it's just it's just ma'am ma'am he's trying to hurt himself every day it's like what can I grab that is sharp throw things how can I get as high as possible on something and teeter on top of it I'm scared my parents to death it's a every second of the day if I'm not covered in some type of stain like I don't know what that is if something from his face or his hands by the end of the day I'm not doing it right apparently we had a gate night last night we dropped to the parent we drop the kids at my parents we drop the parents off we were no longer parents it was we had a date to herself this is why I kind of wanted to make this vlog today is because we had we had a perspective again of what it used to be like for you for you those of you that have watched my channel for so long when it was just me Steph and Winston and it was just a quiet house and you had time it was like hey whatever it's just you had those idle moments to think and and now it's just it's just you reacting a lot it's a lot of just reacting so this this is the grind this is kind of like we're filming a lake life today on my channel where did they go on the daily this is this is what we have and there's just it just is what it is like it's rowing whacking hitting jumping he's a sweet little boy he's he's a boy he's just a boy he's a little boy with blondish hair which I had when I was a kid he's your twin I had he looks just like I did when I was a little boy so having the one child you know things become busy but when you when you have multiples it is just one thing after the other then they then they get into it with each other and I think I think it is important to have genuine time with the family and have boundaries with the camera that is a balance I come home and I think it's important to have good quality time before I I leave again you know what I mean you gotta you gotta make mom happy and you know what I really appreciate that you do have boundaries like when you come home most of the time if you're not editing or vlogging you're home and you're with the kids and Emmy and Ben is starting to get there but Emmy Emmy loves you she loves spending time with you shoot you can tell like she she misses you you're gone a lot of that I want to live through my own through my own eyeballs takes everybody's effort there's still so much that we could vlog it's just the amount of time that I would spend behind the camera and not with them so it's the quality time that they need right now yeah well in the long run that is what is most important so I know some of you probably you want to see the chaos you want to see the craziness that is going on here if y'all are parents out there we're just like you guys and we're just trying to do the best for our children so a lot of times we're just trying to make it through the day what we're trying to say is you guys take up all our time and that's okay it won't always be like this you're like little seeds that we're planting that will hopefully grow up into semi-decent now where's the other one side note cookies are here and it's time to drink the beverages and eat the sugary treats it's just that time of the season there's one pecan sandy left this is this is an excellent cookie out of big plug I was going to say you're doing a plug for me OSG's book known as the cookie lady in our neighborhood bunch of chopped up cons in there I love cons maybe what do you do taking who for a walk the unicorns what do we have in here tonight shoulders stew okay just kind of a kind of a bowl like juicy bowl kind of deal the way I've been processing my dear y'all is I'll kind of cut up the different parts of the quarters and depending on the muscle groups I'll package them accordingly try to explain culinary methods of the whitetail dare this is called shoulder stew and this is I think I mean just took a hard fall to the noggin right there pretty sure he's got a permanent noggin egg on his noggin just for how many times anyway shoulder stew y'all I believe this to be the upper part of the front quarter and I've just chunked it up so I make like like little half inch to one inch cubes basically and I just back him seal them and then we use that I've got quite a bit of burger left still got some of the elk but I find that we use this stuff a lot for bowls and stews and everything like that instead of just making a ton of burger meat that will have till 20.7 I like doing it like this and it's cheap you know it's a lot cheaper to just cube it yourself takes a few hours to do it at home but you know you're not spending four or five hundred bucks at the processor every time get the sausage and all that kind all that stuff's great but if you got a couple deer you just want to do yourself save some money I recommend doing those little cube bags make them you know family size so so a little diced onion little simple ingredients have your own cooking show I love to see your own cooking show you know maybe maybe when you're like these two or what do you think it is you think when they're like he's five when he's five and she's eight years old what do you got there bud this is a can opener thank you it's just like a hardcore pause but on your on your life okay thank you you put that in the door put in the door thank you what you do you think this is gonna be I don't know that's why I started early let's simmer so yo yeah break down if I really know it's gonna be a bad it's gonna be a toughie like lower shank I'll just call it like I make sure to label it like very tough marinade you know there's some good cuts of leg meat that you can actually grill that are very tender they kind of cook up like a steak and then there's other parts of the muscles that are like very tough I'm starting to learn which ones are tough and which ones aren't but as of right now a lot of them are mixed so one bite is like the other bite is like amazing like how do I get those soft bites every time you just you gotta know the muscle groups you gotta know your butchering takes a little skill what's the skin that's not the skin but the other sine you gotta eat that off that's what makes it taste gamey and makes it really tough so some of these pieces that you had in here I know I got a little lazy yeah so I took out this like that just it's gonna look or taste terrible with all that sinew that is gonna taste real bad so I just went ahead and took that out a lazy with that one so what you can do sometimes on those that's a shank lower shank piece you can take your knife and you can actually even on the small pieces I do this on all my back straps you know basically filet off the sinew but you can take those little shank pieces get in between each muscle group and fillet it out and it takes a really long time and you end up with like small pieces but it's all tender meat when you take that sinew out it's a lot of knife work though my dream one day one day at our our house in the future is I'm gonna have I'm gonna have a bar a bar in the houses the boats and ATVs the camper and all that kind of stuff and then I want to have a meat locker where I can hang meats I can hang my wild game for as many days as I want maybe even have it salted in there you know like dry all that kind of stuff and then I have a butchering counter with like a hose with a drain in the floor so when I come home from a hunting trip or a fishing trip I go into the processing room and then knock it out and then store it and you know we got meats we got meats forever and then have a garden I was gonna say well we're talking about this can we talk about what we all want I would love a garden shed you know one of those things just like a like a Joanna garden shed mm-hmm yeah not just like you don't have the greenest thumb though excuse you I have done both the front and the back landscaping you better take that back right now that is a dead plant if you ask me fair to say that is it fair to say everything you've ever tried to grow has died no what is still what is still living right now our entire backyard what vegetable oh okay vegetable well vegetables have seasons so of course like I grew tomatoes hey have you seen our pumpkin over here I grew that okay all of those little pumpkins I grew yes the pumpkin plant died because it goes in a cycle of course they're gonna die you gotta replant you know what first of all whose idea is it to live in the woods where there's all shade and there's no such very hard to grow things in the shade I was saying but we got animals we could eat pasta meat for the rest of our life and we want to do I gave it back oh happy you're getting fed yeah oh my goodness high five killing the game what was the trick mmm balsamic vinegar balsamic vinegar she loves balsamic don't get sleepy finish your dinner be a champion no then the folks at home might be wondering like this is this is crazy yeah this is just normal oh yeah this is a normal evening well I feel like if you have kids you understand I guarantee like there's guarantee it if you don't this seems like crazy matter so it might be really good for those of you wanting kids don't get discouraged they're worth it you just gotta get gotta take the good with the bad I'm cute at times look at that he's giving me a hug he's a good hugger little buddy love you little buddy so I think you guys have your answer of why we have we have not uploaded on like my family channel giving you a taste of it here though so smash that like button for Roland during the madness wouldn't have it any other way and you know when I'm not filming I'm just enjoying the fam and I'm
