Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance

Something to be said for keeping your shit very sharp.

You can see it even when guy fillet fish. Some of the carcasses look like they were cut with a dull spoon.

That channel looks awesome, cheers Carlus.

When I was growing up and learning butchering from the older men in my family, we had a neighbor who was a slaughter house butcher. That guys knives were always razor sharp, he could disassemble an animal FAST. Learned a lot from him.

At the 1:00 mark and again at 1:26 you see them cutting the lower leg off the beef. That method is a skilled butchering method. Done right, cutting the correct tendons, the lower leg just comes off with a knife, but the Achilles tendon is left attached for hanging the beef. Do it wrong and you turn it into a mess. Hard to describe that process, you have to feel the joint, the connections and pick the right tendons to cut.

It is a lot of work, and you need to be fully prepared to move fast. But the quality of the meat and the cost savings are worth it if you can do it.

The previous beef video was really about the slaughter, this is all about the butchering. I really love the 'Craft Butchering' is becoming a popular thing these days, and this guy is great. Check it out and see where your favorite cuts come from.
Note: See how the fat in this beef is stark white compared to the grass fattened Yellowish fat of the previous video.

My dad was a butcher until he retired and still butchers lots of game for himself and friends.

His advice is that "I've never cut myself on a dull knife" When you have a dull knife you have to work harder and are therefore more apt to make a mistake

Hey, how's your Calexit going. I need to stay close to you so I can tell Sacremento Stazi what address I'm going to when I present my papers.

A good sharpening stone should certainly be part of your survival kit.
I thoroughly recommend this one for kitchen knives.

I've carried this in my wallet for 4 years.


These things are the best, the size of a credit card, and they work! Just stick it in your wallet. I probably use it about 3-5 times a year, but when you really need to put an edge on something and your away from home it's Great. I highly recommend you get one and stick it in your wallet, or purse as it may apply. It's just a great tool. And it doubles as a reflector or signal mirror, just polish the back.
