The tone shifts as the family discusses the devastating impact of the tornadoes on their community, including loss of life, injuries, and property damage. The vlog then details the communication failures experienced during the storm, emphasizing the importance of reliable communication systems.

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. #Arkansas #MemorialDay #weekend #tornado #storm #disaster #recovery #community #resilience #fatalities #injuries #propertydamage #severeweather #poweroutages #cleanup #rebuilding #NationalWeatherService #emergencyresponse #safety #support #solidarity

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.

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.

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! #BBQSmokingChips, #GrillingSeason, #BBQFlavors, #WesternBBQChips, #SmokingWoodChips, #BarbecueEssentials, #GrillMaster, #OutdoorCooking, #BBQTips, #FoodieFeature, #MeatLovers, #HomeCooking, #CookoutFun, #FlavorBurst, #grillandchill

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 20:43 Outro Thanks to everyone who has liked, shared, and subscribed to our channel.

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.
