103: Ungovernable Appalchia, Hubsteading and The Good Life with Smokey the Appalachistani

Smokey of the State of Appalachia Project joins B.R for a very based one on one chat about homesteading in America’s ungovernable blue mountains! The lads get into the culture of the region, acquiring property, functional vs ‘picture perfect’ homesteads, the amount of hours and labor Smokey and his wife (Deckers Ridge Homestead) put into their homestead daily and processing chickens for meat. Smokey also explains his ‘Hubsteading’ concept, being realistic about what exactly to ‘prep’ for, the slow fall of ‘Rome’ and why American life and culture will outlive the era of the US Empire, the generational differences between how ‘neighborly’ people are, and the forgotten history of Blair Mountain and how ten thousand miners fought against US government machine gun nests and bombs dropped from aircraft on American soil.   Links mentioned in this episode:  Check out Smokey of The State of Appalachia Project on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/stateofappalachia/ Check out Smokey's Substack Articles here: https://thestateofappalachia.substack.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠                                                           Check out our sponsors:                                            Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AWSin.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Check out new sponsor GotYour6App.net!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our returning sponsor, Fieldseats.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff!⁠⁠ Follow the lads on IG:     ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nathan / Main Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  B.R: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarch/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Paige: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/paigeosity/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Lucas: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
