A couple of day ago my son and I went over to some friends from fellowship and helped catch and skin several chickens, ducks, and geese. They were putting them in freezer camp to cut down on the winter food bill. The same family came out to help and learn whenever we butchered our cow several weeks back. I'll post that HERE if you would like to see it.
If you are wanting to learn a new skill the best thing to do is to find someone who is good at it and offer to help. It works out great for both parties involved and builds community and friendship.
We had enough people helping that we created an assembly line of sorts and everyone had a specific job.
After catching the birds the heads were humanly removed and they were tied up to drain.
Just a couple hours of our time helped a family put a couple hundred pounds of good farm raised food in their freezer.
Sometimes you can help by giving money, but someone willing to give their time has always impressed me the most.
Now if I ever needed a hand with something I couldn't do by myself or my family was so hungry I had to ask for food.
What do you think this family’s response would be If I asked them?
What if they asked me?
