Heartland Skills — YouTube Channel Statistics

Heartland Skills is a weekly archive of the lost trades, frontier methods, and self-sufficient ingenuity that built rural America before the box-store era. Each episode walks through a different piece of practical knowledge an ordinary 1925 farm family carried in their head and their hands. The kind of knowledge that almost no American carries today. We work from period agricultural manuals, the USDA Yearbooks of Agriculture, the Library of Congress American Folklife Center, the FoxFire books, and first-hand oral histories of the last generation that did this work. Subscribe if you want to see what almost left with the last generation that did it. Hit the bell so you do not miss the next episode.
