FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future! For more information visit the Provisioning Page on our website ( www.freerangesailing.com/boat-provisioning ) or to grab a copy directly by clicking on the link below.

So rewarding!
Where did Paski get that watch from . My daughter really likes the unique shape of it and I would like to get her one as a surprise.
Onya guys as Peter suggested marigolds or a simple butterfly net or I should say white cabbage moth net anyway have a merry Xmas keep on keeping on 🌱
Love Pascey's new blue jumper…. We are still mourning her green one!
thanks again for another lovely episode!! Love to see all your progress. Watching all the plants and animals thriving under your care is just as exciting as it was to see the dolphins swimming at your bow. Keep up the great work and have a peaceful and happy Christmas. Looking forward to 2023 adventures. Sending you lots of love from Texas.
@Free Range Living .. When are you going to have children? I'd like to see a little Pascal or Troy running around and it's good to have them while you're still young enough to play.
I'm curious about the animal life in your area especially the chirping birds. Do you have a lot of snake life, I mean, I see Troy stepping around old wood which looks like a great home for them. Maybe feature the local critters at some point?
While I'm asking I'm curious how you keep up with all of the video work – it must take hours and hours!
Thank you for what you do.
👍👍👏👏✔✔
I can hardly remember the sailing, great job, very engaging.
If you do trap, I find it best to use whatever's being targeted as bait. Peanut butter is very tasty to many critters, but may attract someone new and not the one giving you the problem. I had a problem with a small rodent harvesting young green tomatoes this season. Cherry tomatoes made it, but mid size and larger were wiped out. I suspected voles or chipmunks, maybe squirrels, turns out it was mice. First time they were a problem for me. The live trap I used didn't catch a thing, but rat traps did. I only used young tomatoes as bait, to limit the bycatch.
Another great video thank you
The magic of time lapse! As always, I love the storytelling you two put together.
Wow. Garden is looking very successful. Great job you two. We have trouble getting corn started also but for us it is the crows that dig it up. This last planting season was accompanied with several of those small plastic windmills that my wife picked up at a local carnival and a couple of cat statues. We got lucky and it worked. I loved Troys wire clamp tool. I made a drawing of it and intend to make one of my own in the spring. Thanks for the idea. I enjoyed the video as always and will keep checking back for the next one. Take care both of you.
The effort you two put into these video shine's through! Such a positive space you have created in this crazy world, such a great escape. Thank's so much for sharing your story each week.
In the midst of a North American winter very jealous of your beautiful spring! Nice to get ideas for next year though.
Are you going to let your crop go to seed and then harvest the seeds?
I think I am enjoying these homestead type videos as much or maybe even more than the sailing videos.
hay Pascale and Troy,
It's always nice to see a new video from you (!)
I just keep having the problem of thinking that you live in the southern hemisphere on our earth — that means – you have summer right now, but here it's winter with -10°C hi.
I wish you both, and your families, a Merry Christmas and all the best

Asparagus grows like some prankster is trying to convince you that this is how asparagus grows.
Merry Christmas 🎅 NC 🇺🇸
Amazing garden…
I suppose no one told Pascale you can't put a square peg in a round hole. Ha ha.
Ooo. Pascale has a "Salad Spinner". Haven't seen one in years… Merry Christmas, y'all.
The filmography is excellent. Like watching a David Attenborough documentary
I’d think your ideal candidates for a greenhouse
a good home remedy spray for caterpillars on veges is (crushed garlic, 1/2 doz drops of dish washing soap & 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper spray it on ONLY in the mornings!) caterpillars gawn
Awesome job guys with the garden. Hey your looking well just a bit of gray hair, if you want to get rid of it try Catalase Enzyme powder or capsules. It breaks down the built up hydrogen peroxides in the hair follicles.. You can also make a lotion with it and put it on your hair. Hydrogen peroxide builds up in the hair follicles because of Hydroxide free radicals being dealt with by your bodies super oxide system so keep your diet slightly acidic this reduces the Hydroxide free radicals.. Best of luck and please ask if you want homeopathic solutions and not chemicals from a doctor!!
P.s please do not use chemicals against bugs or anything eating your plants. There are very simple ways of stopping this one is companion planting another is netting and the last is salt or egg shells for things like snails and slugs. Neem oil is excellent for catapillers.
When will we see you turn up at your first Farmer's Market? It seems like a logical progression. Loving the transition from killing fish. 😀
The observed growing interest in bio-friendly, non-toxic natural substances with antimicrobial properties makes essential oils potentially useful as preservatives for a broad range of products [26,27,28]. Due to the proven antifungal properties against mould and wood-decaying fungi, some attempts have also been made to apply essential oils from common plants, herbs and spices as wood protective agents [29,30,31,32,33,34,35].
Essential oils in Wood Protection Several in vitro tests against different fungi species were performed using various essential oils to find the most effective ones. Voda et al. [29] reported high antifungal effectiveness of anise, basil, cumin, oregano and thyme oils against brown-rot fungus Coniophora puteana and white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor using the agar dilution method. They showed that the most effective compounds in inhibiting the growth of both fungi were thymol, carvacrol, trans-anethole, methyl chavicol, and cuminaldehyde. Their further research confirmed the existence of a relationship between the molecular structure of the oxygenated aromatic essential oils..
Loved this videos format with the dates, it’s like a vlog cross
As a long time gardener I would have dug and transplanted the asparagus crowns at the end of summer to let the crowns establish new root system over the fall and winter months. Asparagus and rhubarb are two of my favorite perennials in my garden. It is recommended that newly transplanted asparagus bed should not be harvested for the first two to three seasons to let the crowns develop. They are heavy feeders and do not like competition from weeds. I was raised in Washington State and would harvest the wild asparagus in fruit orchards, along irrigation ditch lines and river banks.
