In the wake of the devastating Memorial Day weekend tornadoes that swept across several states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kentucky, the impact on the affected communities has been profound.
The death toll reached at least 22, with the storms leaving behind a trail of destruction, including homes and businesses leveled, and power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of people. The National Weather Service confirmed the presence of at least 11 tornados in Arkansas alone, contributing to the significant loss of life and property.
Arkansas communities are uniting to rebuild after what has been described as the deadliest tornado outbreak in a decade. The storms have been particularly deadly in Arkansas, with at least eight fatalities recorded in the state. The recovery efforts are extensive, with communities working together to clean up and rebuild what was lost.
The severe weather has also affected travel and infrastructure across the affected states. For instance, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a press conference in Bentonville, highlighting the strength of Arkansans in vulnerable moments and emphasizing the importance of community resilience in the face of such disasters.
These events serve as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and often devastating power of nature, as well as the resilience and spirit of communities in the face of adversity.

Jess's Mom Visits⚡ Fencing Upgrades | Waterfalls | New Homestead Name BarndoVilla
We've been busy visiting with family, showing Jess's mom around, exploring, and upgrading!
New name! We've rebranded (again, last time hopefully) to BarndoVilla! Barndo for barndominium and villa... Latin for homestead (ish). We're doing this as there were multiple backroad homestead channels and it was confusing. We'll be making the official announcement in a later video when the website is moved over.
In this video we take a look at the new Gallagher S30 Solar Electric Fence Charger https://amzn.to/4dSzJh5 as well as some Dyvicl Reflective Scare Rods https://amzn.to/4dLZVu5.

Leatherwood Loop | Push Mountain | Advance Arkansas Ozark Mountains Adventure Dual Sport Motorcycle
Leatherwood Loop directions: Take 341 to Advance Road (Leatherwood Wilderness) to Mountain Ridge Road to 72 which leads you back to 341. The 341 Market is a great place to meet up, get fuel, etc. but they are only open during the day. Advance Road on the USFS Map is called County Road 76 which turns into Brush Creek Road and then you want to go to Advance Road (Mountain Ridge Road). All the same roads, just different names *rolls eyes*
Trail Class: 5 of 10 Clockwise (downhill) 7 of 10 counterclockwise (uphill)
341 is a beautiful, twisty paved road around Push Mountain. It goes over the White River and has many rest areas for pictures of the Ozark Mountains. Advance Road is unpaved and filled with switchbacks. It can feature washouts and trees down if a storm passed through recently so keep an eye on the forecast. This trail does not cross any creeks or rivers. Mountain Ridge Road is the only difficult section it this loop. It is steep, features 2 rock sections, and is rutted and somewhat encroached. You may see motorcycles, horses, and 4X4's on this single-lane trail which is fairly heavily shaded. If you don't want to take the hard part of the trail, you can go to the end of Advance Road where there's a loop rest stop and an old homestead foundation just off the trail.

Morton Tender Quick: The Essential Salt for Home Smokers
https://amzn.to/3y8f8oO Welcome back, friends! Today on Backroad Reviews, your buddy Ryan is here to guide you through a must-have for any home meat curing enthusiast: the Morton Curing Salt, Tender Quick Home Meat Cure, available in a handy 2-pound bag. If you've ever wondered about stepping up your home cooking game by curing your own meats, you're in the right place! Don't forget, if you like what you see and decide to grab this product for yourself, be sure to use our affiliate link below to support the channel at no extra cost to you. https://amzn.to/3y8f8oO
What is Morton Tender Quick?
Morton Tender Quick is a blend of salt, sugar, and curing agents designed to cure meats, poultry, fish, and other game in your very own kitchen. This product is specially formulated to control meat spoilage and enhance flavor, ensuring that your homemade deli meats, bacon, jerky, or smoked goods are both safe and delicious.
Unpacking the Product
When you first get your hands on Morton Tender Quick, you'll notice it comes in a no-fuss, resealable 2-pound bag. This size is convenient for those who may not have the biggest storage space but are eager to dive into the world of meat curing.
How I Used It
To give you a real-life application of how this curing salt works, I recently used it to cure a 19-ounce pork tenderloin. Here’s my simple recipe:
2 tablespoons Morton Tender Quick (leveled, not mounded)
2 tablespoons kosher salt (non-iodized)
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 quart water (warm to hot, tap)
I dissolved the salt and sugar in warm water, allowed it to cool, then submerged the pork tenderloin in this brine with an airtight lid. After curing in the fridge for about 3-4 days, the pork was smoked at 250°F with hickory chips for around 2.5 hours.
Results
The end result was spectacular! The meat had a beautiful color and a firm but juicy texture. Although I don't have pictures from this batch (it was too good and got eaten up too quickly!), I can assure you it looked and tasted fantastic. https://amzn.to/3y8f8oO
Adjusting the Flavor
A great tip for those new to curing is to slice off a small piece of the meat during the curing process and cook it to test for saltiness and flavor. This helps in adjusting the amount of salt or curing time based on your personal preference.
Pros
Effectiveness: This product delivers on its promise to cure meat properly and safely.
Flavor Enhancement: Adds a rich, savory flavor to meats.
Ease of Use: Simple instructions are easy to follow for beginners.
Cons
Pack Size: While the 2-pound bag is great for small-scale use, those with more substantial curing needs might prefer a larger size.
Final Thoughts
Morton Tender Quick is an excellent choice for anyone looking to start curing their own meats at home. It's effective, easy to use, and produces consistently good results. Remember, this is not regular table salt, and it should be used strictly for curing purposes.
Conclusion
That's all for today's review of Morton Curing Salt from your pal Ryan at Backroad Reviews. If you're looking to get into meat curing, or if you just want to experiment with new cooking techniques, give Morton Tender Quick a try.

Enhance Your Grilling Game with Western BBQ Wood Chips
https://amzn.to/3UsKuhs Welcome back to another episode on Backroad Reviews! I’m your host, Ryan, and today we’re hanging out with the Western BBQ Smoking Wood Chips Variety Pack. If you love to grill, these chips are a game-changer for enhancing the flavor of your barbecue.
Affiliate Links support our homestead at no cost to you!
Smoking wood chips are an excellent way to introduce new flavors to your grilled food. Moving beyond just charcoal or gas, wood chips add a unique taste that varies with the type of wood you use. The Western BBQ Variety Pack includes four favorite flavors: Apple, Mesquite, Hickory, and Cherry. Each one offers a distinct flavor twist that can elevate your meals.
The Apple chips bring a sweet, fruity smoke that’s perfect for lighter meats like chicken and pork. They add a subtle hint of sweetness that’s not overpowering but just enough to make your taste buds notice.
Mesquite wood chips, on the other hand, provide a more robust and earthy smoke. They’re ideal for beef and are famously used in Texan barbecue to give that bold, smoky flavor that’s so characteristic of the region.
Hickory chips are all about strong, hearty flavors. They produce a heavier smoke that’s fantastic for ribs and brisket, giving you that classic barbecue taste that many of us love and crave during a good BBQ session.
Lastly, the Cherry wood chips offer a milder, sweeter smoke. They are excellent for balancing the strong flavors of red meats and are also wonderful with poultry, providing a light, sweet smokiness that enhances the meat’s natural flavors without overwhelming them.
For those who like to experiment, mixing different wood types can create custom flavor profiles that make your dishes uniquely delicious. It’s all about finding what works for your palate!
Remember, these chips are part of the Amazon Associates Program, so while we can't link directly to this product, you can easily find them by searching for "Western BBQ Smoking Wood Chips Variety Pack" on Amazon. Just head over there, grab a pack, and start experimenting with the flavors to find your favorite!
Let's take a quick look at how to get the best results:
Soak the chips in water for about 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning too quickly.
Spread them evenly over your charcoal or use a smoker box if you're grilling with gas.
Let the chips begin to smoke before you start cooking your meat to ensure they impart the maximum amount of flavor.
Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for more reviews on all things BBQ and beyond. Until next time, keep those grills smoking and your taste buds excited!

Smoking Ham, Chicken Coops, And Gardening Adventures: A Busy Homesteading Week On The Backroads
Welcome to another episode of Backroads Homesteading! This week, we've had a busy schedule filled with various projects around the homestead. From setting up a new chicken coop to smoking our first ham, it's been an eventful week. Enjoy the second longer-form video this week as we get more into storytelling mode.
Full blog post - https://backroadshomesteading.com/cold-hard-truths/
0:00 Intro
0:23 Chicken Coop
First off, we got our chicken coop inside and set up the chickens temporarily to get them acclimated to their new surroundings. Em's been keeping an eye on them to make sure they're settling in well.
1:17 Smoker Update
We also had an exciting moment as we smoked our first ham. Although we didn't raise the pig entirely on our homestead, we were involved in most of the process. The ham turned out pretty good for our first attempt, thanks to the East Oak smoker we got from Amazon. It's a budget-friendly option that worked well for us.
https://amzn.to/3PBUGCy EAST OAK 30" Digital Electric Smoker, Outdoor Smoker with Glass Door and Meat Thermometer, 725 Sq Inches of Cooking with Remote, 4 Detachable Racks Smoker Grill for Party, Home BBQ, Night Blue (affiliate link)
2:30 Garden Update
With the threat of freezing temperatures seemingly behind us, we've moved our produce out of the pole barn. We also invested in some cattle panels, albeit mistakenly getting the more expensive horse panels. Despite the budget mishap, we're setting up a trellis system for our beans, peas, and tomatoes.
7:42 Pole Barn Fixes
The week also involved some maintenance work on our pole barn. We're replacing the roof screws on the main building and the original lean-to. It's important to replace these every few years to prevent leaks and deterioration.
9:45 @WhiteRockNATION Time
Lastly, we spent some time with friends on the ridge, helping them build something for their homestead. It's always great to spend time with like-minded people, sharing stories and enjoying good food.
11:45 Spraying Knockdown
Additionally, we tackled a home improvement project by spraying knockdown texture on the walls. It's been a while since we've done this, so it was a bit of a learning curve to get the right consistency and technique. But the results are turning out great, adding a nice texture to the walls.
17:00 Knocking Down The Pattern

The Importance of Proper Packaging in Homesteading
Hey there, fellow homesteaders! It's Ryan from Backroads Homesteading, and today I want to talk to you about something that might not be the first thing on your mind when it comes to homesteading, but it's crucial nonetheless: packaging. Specifically, I'm referring to a product that can make a world of difference in how you store and preserve your goods: the 190 x 28 mm Clear Perforated Shrink Band.
Now, you might be wondering why I'm bringing up a seemingly mundane item like a shrink band. Well, let me tell you, when it comes to ensuring the longevity and safety of your homemade products, be it jams, pickles, or any other canned goods, having the right seal is paramount. This particular shrink band is perfect for tubs, deli containers, large canisters, and more, with a compatible diameter range of 4 1/4” – 4 11/16".
You might have come across this product on Amazon.com, where it's sold in bundles of 250. However, it seems that direct linking to this product is currently not supported due to it being one of the Amazon Associates Program Excluded Products. But don't let that deter you! You can always search for it in the Industrial & Scientific category on Amazon or look for similar products that suit your needs.
The beauty of these shrink bands lies in their simplicity and effectiveness. They provide a tamper-evident seal that ensures your products are safe and secure, giving both you and your customers peace of mind. Plus, they're easy to use – just slide the band over the lid and container, apply heat, and watch it shrink to a snug fit.
Incorporating these shrink bands into your packaging process can elevate the professionalism and quality of your homestead products. It's a small investment that can lead to big returns in terms of product integrity and customer trust.
So, next time you're packaging your homemade goods, consider giving these shrink bands a try. They just might be the missing piece in your homesteading puzzle.
Until next time, happy homesteading!

The Complete Guide to Food Storage and Packaging for Homesteaders
Hello, fellow homesteaders! It's Ryan from Backroads Homesteading, and today I'm excited to share with you some essential tips and products for efficient food storage and packaging on your homestead. Whether you're preserving your harvest or preparing meals in advance, having the right storage solutions can make all the difference. https://amzn.to/49AHyWv
Part 1: Essential Food Storage Solutions
One of my favorite finds for food storage is the EDI Plastic Deli Food Storage Containers with Airtight Lids, available on Amazon https://amzn.to/49AHyWv. These containers are a game-changer for several reasons:
Perfect Size: With a 24 oz capacity, they're ideal for freezing portions of shrimp, fish, or other produce. They stack easily, saving valuable freezer space.
Quality and Durability: Made from heavy-duty plastic, these containers are sturdy and can withstand multiple dishwasher cycles. The lids fit snugly, ensuring a secure seal to keep your food fresh.
Versatility: They're BPA-free and safe for use in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher, making them perfect for meal prep and storage.
Customers have praised these containers for their sturdiness and the secure fit of the lids. However, some have noted that liquids may seep out when the containers are on their side, so be cautious when storing soups or sauces.
Part 2: The Right Packaging for Your Homestead Products
Proper packaging is crucial for extending the shelf life of your products and presenting them in the best possible way. Here are some tips for choosing the right packaging:
Choose Eco-Friendly Materials: Opt for biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable materials to reduce your environmental impact.
Consider the Product: Different products require different types of packaging. For example, vacuum sealing is great for meats, while glass jars are ideal for jams and pickles.
Label Clearly: Make sure your packaging includes clear labels with the product name, ingredients, and expiration date. This is not only helpful for organization but also important for safety and compliance with local regulations.
Final Thoughts
Efficient food storage and proper packaging are key components of a successful homesteading lifestyle. By investing in quality containers like the EDI Plastic Deli Food Storage Containers and choosing the right packaging for your products, you can ensure that your hard work is preserved and presented in the best possible way.
