TnT talk
Normally Saturday posts are for paid subscribers only - a little thank you for your support. These 2nd weekly posts usually consist of Q&As, monthly roundups of things we’re eating/ doing/farming, notes on what’s inspiring us, things we’re experimenting with, and goings on around the farm. I will open up the occasional Saturday post, like today’s, to all subscribers so you can see if you’d like a paid membership to get in on all the delights.
For this TnT gab-a-roo, Troy and I discuss conflict, how we used to handle it and how we deal with it now. I also put him on the spot with a question a friend asked me earlier this week, “What should a parent have in a first aid kit for their kid?” He handled it like a champ, of course. He’s such a good sport.
Here’s a link to a few of the items we spoke about (I will leave it to you to find a seller in your locale):
tourniquet (Canada)
tourniquet (US)
The above CAT tourniquet is graded for children greater than six but studies have shown that it’s also effective for kids aged 2 and older.

Also, for intro music -- I'm voting for the Indiana Jones theme song with a slightly folk twist- acoustic style, but still plenty of action :)
I was so happy at the end when you said you would address the plant medicine angle too in a future episode! I was thinking, "ok, benadry, can get. Check. But what do they use plant wise for anti inflammatory stuff? Homeopathics? Which specific ones does Tara like? Would Troy slip in a little something plant wise as a salve instead of neosporin if it was family? All these fun questions! I'm just delighted at the thought of hearing about your plant first aid kit. It's an art and a science and I would love a walkthrough of a whole broad spectrum - thoughts, etc. Also, how to get more advanced training on this kind of thing. Ok, I just deleted a bunch of additional writing. TMI. Let's just say that this is a great topic and I would love to learn more from both of you!
