Alaskan Homestead Tallow | 70lbs of Suet to a Years Supply of Cooking Oil (Prepping the Pantry)

Video Description

This week on the homestead we rendered down our years supply of cooking oil! We tackled some more firewood, worked on the barn for the new additions, and made up some herbal preparations to help with a cold. We show you how we use spruce pitch as a steam and an infused oil for a chest rub, as well as how we make a loose leaf tea infusion.
