This article is to tell you my experience and why You Shouldn’t Spend Your Money On HuntWise.

There are a lot of options out there for hunting apps. All of them have their pros and cons, but I want to tell you about my experience with HuntWise. After all, when it comes to spending your money, it is your money that does the talking. I personally have been spending my money locally rather than through the Amazons and Walmarts of the world.

Spending your money at places that have good people working there and their overall agenda is similar to my own. I don’t want to spend my money where people don’t care about their customers and are only in it to make the all mighty dollar. Now don’t get me wrong, all businesses are in buisiness because they make money, but you shouldn’t have to ignore your customers, nor should you find ways to pad the scales or misrepresent a product, and certainly you shouldn’t be offering free merchandise without actually planning on giving that free item away, right?

Okay, so back to my story. I get an email from HuntWise, probably an ad campaign, and I see that they are giving away a free hat for subscribing to their PRO or ELITE plans. It says you have to get it before 10/23 to be eligible. In fact, here is the ad…

Now, wouldn’t you think you could get a hat? Well it isn’t so simple. My opinion is, they only plan on giving it to a few. Perhaps you have to purchase the yearly subscription to get it (over $100.00) I’m not sure because I didn’t get my hat.

So I assumed (and this is where we see who they really are) if I contact them and ask them about it, that they would make things right. The first guy I got told me that at the end of the month they would collect your information and send out the hats.

Well, the month ended and it’s half way through the next, so I contact them. They said you have to follow the link in order to get a hat. Did you see that anywhere? Because I missed it if it is there. Maybe it’s in the fine print. You know, the stuff you can’t read because they don’t want you too know it’s in there? And If I had a company and someone contacted me about it, I would look to see if they did indeed subscribe, and if so, send them what I promised, but not these guys. They told me,

“Good day,

The rest of the email said that you needed to use the link provided to qualify for the hat. If you did not use that link, you did not follow the directions provided.

Have a great day,
Chuck
Customer Support

Yeah, have a great day. I know when I am being brushed off. So maybe I’m wrong, … Let me go back and read every word in the email… Well, I have read the email several times. There is no where in the email that says you have to use the link in order to qualify. Perhaps they meant to put it in the email, but the fact is, it isn’t there. In my opinion, they should refund my money, or give me a hat. They are content to do neither. And this is who you are supporting if you give them your money. So this is why You Shouldn’t Spend Your Money On HuntWise.

If you want to give your money and support the guys who would rather pull wool over your eyes, then that is your choice, but for me, I want to know who I’m giving my money to so I am not promoting people who have interests in things I do not. When you spend your money here, its like voting for someone who wants to take your guns away.

Okay, I’m not going to keep going over this. Just be aware. Like I said in the beginning of the article, there are plenty of places that have apps for hunting deer. I for one will never get their app again. It is my opinion that You Shouldn’t Spend Your Money On HuntWise.

In the end, after several emails, I finally got the answer I deserved. In my opinion, it was too little, too late. And if I hadn’t complained over and over, they never would have said they would send me the hat, But even though they said they would send it, I declined receiving it. I won’t use their product and I cannot accept their product with a clear conscience (even though I’m entitled to it)

I also want to add, their app isn’t bad. It is an average hunting app. I can use Weather Underground and do the same thing, and guess what? It’s free… You live and you learn…

Ink And Fiber Designs: A Pleasant Alternative https://momblogsociety.com/ink-and-fiber-designs-a-pleasant-alternative/ Tue, 29 Aug 2023 11:52:14 +0000 https://momblogsociety.com/?p=83996 Ink And Fiber Designs makes a fantastic product called a Swedish dishcloth.

Ink And Fiber Designs makes a fantastic product called a Swedish dishcloth. If you are unfamiliar about what a Swedish dishcloth is, then let me explain it to you. But first, let me explain to you what it isn’t. It isn’t a paper towel. A paper towel isn’t intended to be used more than once. And if a paper towel gets wet, it’s done; game over. It is made that way so that you will need another one and another one until they are gone, and then you have to buy more. Now let’s talk about what a Swedish dishcloth is. A Swedish dishcloth is 70% wood pulp and 30% cotton. The wood pulp gives it excellent absorbancy, while the cotton gives it resiliency. How resilient and how absorbent? I’m glad you asked. In a few moments you are going to see that the Swedish dishcloth truly is a pleasant alternative.

A Swedish dishcloths can soak up 15x its weight! That’s HUGE! They really can be a workhorse on spills and wet countertops. Absorbancy is always a plus around the kitchen. However, if you have ever been around a kitchen, you know that absorbancy only goes so far. If it just falls apart when it gets wet, the whole absorbancy thing goes right out the window. Literally, because now it is unable to hold as much because it is in pieces. Well, Ink And Fiber Designs has made their Swedish dishcloths to hold up to normal wear and tear. They can be used up to 200 times. once you have used it, just throw it in the dishwasher or washing machine and let it dry, and you’re back in business. My suggestion is to purchase two or more so that while one is being washed, you still have one you can be using. Besides, have you seen their designs? Who could pick just one? They have something for everyone.

Another thing that Ink And Fiber Designs has going for them is the price. This one dishcloth will outlive 17 rolls of paper towel. Now if you go out and price 17 rolls of paper towel, you are going to find that even the cheap stuff that falls apart when you look at it is still going to be over a dollar a roll. And how fast does a roll of paper towel disappear? Exactly! And we’re just talking about this one Swedish dishcloth. And when you’ve worn it out and it has cleaned over 200 messes, you can toss it in the compost pile. it’s biodegradable. It comes from the earth and returns to the earth; as nature intended.

So, if you want something that will brighten your day and ease you workload, you should give Ink And Fiber Designs a try. They have a lot of patterns to choose from. Here is a link to their website: Ink And Fiber Designs. You can thank me later for saving you a boat-load of money and at the same time, saving the planet from wasting all those paper towels.

That’s right, I said it, Natural and Safe. TruHeight has, since it’s conception, been striving to make the best, pure and allergen free supplement on the market. Look, if you want to see the studies, it;s all here: TruHeight. Their products helps your body processes Calcium faster, improves the quality of sleep, supports joint health, supports skin health, strengthens bones and muscles, lowers blood pressure, enhances your immune system, supports heart and liver health, improves blood circulation, and is even a natural antioxidant. Now that was a mouth-full, but I didn’t even list everything, nor did I elaborate on each topic. I don’t know where else you can find a better vitamin/supplement for your child.

TruHeight has put a lot of research into making their product one of the safest and most reliable on the market. It isn’t a cure-all, but if you follow their program and are diligent in taking their products as prescribed, they have clinical proof that it works. And even though the whole idea behind taking it is for your child to grow taller, it will also make them healthier in the process. I mean, if you are going to give your child a multi-vitamin for their health, why not give them one that will do the job and then some. Don’t just go to the big box store and purchase the cheapest product you can find. If you do, you’ll be short-changing your child. History has taught us that the cheapest product also performs the worst. Is that what you want for your child? I didn’t think so. So, let’s look at how we can get you some of the best and not break the bank getting there.

I’m not sure how long it will last, but TruHeight is offering a 20% discount for their Back To School Sale! That knocks of a pretty substantial chunk of the price. 20%! With that said, if you subscribe to their monthly reissue, you will even save more! And as always, they offer a 6 month 100% money back guarantee! So basically, they are saying that if it doesn’t do what they say it will, you can get all of your money back. Wow, that’s awesome really. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I want you to get started right away. Everyday you procrastinate is another day your child is behind their potential. Here is the link so you can learn more and get your child started on the path to new heights: TruHeight.

Your shower is a scary place. Scary because of all of the pollutants in your water! Most people do not realize that they have chemicals in their water that can actually damage their skin and hair.

Multipure has been a leader in the field of water filtration products for more than 50 years. And they also have the most NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certifications in the industry. That should tell you a lot about their company.

When I got my first chickens, it was fun. Watching them mostly, but in a way, I was a part of the flock. They interacted with me and I with them. Then I got more chickens. I guess some people call it chicken math, but I simply call it, “an enjoyable hobby”. Anyways, I found out about Automatic Chicken Doors and thought, “Wow, I need one of those!” But then I saw the price and, it seemed like a lot for just a door. So I decided not to buy one. Then, one day, I slept in. No biggie, they just didn’t get out as early today. There is a BIG difference between them getting out early and what happened next. I realized that I can’t be without that Automatic Chicken Door. Price goes right out the window. It’s cheap at twice the cost,  because I woke up at 2 o’clock in the morning and can’t go back to sleep. Did I close up the coop? I can’t remember. So now I’m getting up, getting dressed, and out to the chicken coop to be sure it is closed. And whether it is closed or not, it is the thought that it could have been open. All your chickens could have been killed. It’s one thing for them to not get out early, but an entirely different thing for their lives to be in jeopardy. So that is when I got my first chicken door. I am not going to name any companies.  I really liked my first automatic chicken door. However, I have found one that I like more. It is the Chickcozy Automatic Chicken Door!

It comes with an instruction manual, batteries, a power supply ( in case you want to plug it into the wall), and all of the hardware you need to install it onto your coop. My first install was on one of those cattle-panel hoop coops. Thus, I had to make a wooden frame to mount it to. Below is the video about my install, programming, and final thoughts concerning the product. I hope you watch it and like it.

In case you didn’t watch the video, I’ll go over the highlights here. At first I wasn’t sure I would like it. It opened different and was made of plastic. However, the product won me over when I realized I had a lot more control over how and when it opens. My old door could be programmed, but you had to use their app and that is a bit inconvenient. With the Chickcozy Automatic Chicken Door, I just push a few buttons and it’s done. Also, the safety switch is very light. If you have a young chicken, it still will not hurt them if they are in the way of the door closing. I have very young chicks in with my hens and I don’t have any issues or concerns.

The installation was a breeze, even with the framing I had to do to install it. If you have a wooden coop, all you have to do is make sure it has the proper sized opening and screw the door to your coop. Next, either put the batteries in, or plug it in to a wall outlet (your choice). That’s it. I monitored the opening and closing and although it comes pre-programmed from the factory, I still had to adjust the light intensity that triggers it. I wanted it to open earlier in the morning, so I had to lower the number for the opening of the door. If you want to learn how to do that, just watch the video above.

When you first wake up your screen, it will show you the next mode of operation, and the percentage of battery life you have left (another great feature). It has 3 modes: Manual, Time, and Light. The light mode is what it will be set at from the factory. In the light menu it tells you what the light sensor is reading right now. That is awesome because it helps you determine what to set the opening and closing numbers at. Just remember that once the number reaches your setting, it still won’t open for 20 minutes from that time. You can also add more minutes to that if you want, but it has a 20-minute delay at the very least to keep it from being triggered by a flashlight or a perimeter motion sensor light, or anything else. In Time mode, you set the time and it has then an internal clock that keeps track of the time. It doesn’t calculate daytime savings time, so you will have to reprogram the time when necessary if you live in that area of the U.S. Next, you will have to tell it what time you want it to open and close. The Factory settings are at 6:30 am it will open and 7:00 pm it closes, but you can change it to whatever you want. Then there is the Manual mode. Pretty self-explanatory. You just push the OK button when you want to open or close the door.

Final thoughts? Well, I have only tried the two Automatic Chicken Doors, but so far, I’m sold on the Chickcozy Door. It’s easy to program and you can tweak it to open exactly when you want it to open. For me, that is what I need. And with that, comes peace of mind that they are safe and secure. If you would like to get one of your own, here is my affiliate link. By using it, you’re thanking me for writing about it and making my video about it. And I thank you for using it. Here it is: https://chickcozy.com/mark

Sports is a big part of growing up. Potentially it can define who your children are, and who they become in life. In school, so much emphasis is focused on Sports. And your child is often defined by how well they perform. Take for example Todd from our school. He was socially accepted by everyone. He fit in well with his classmates and even kids that were older than him looked up to him. Why? Because he was in sports, but more importantly, because he was tall. I’m sure you know that height is an advantage. And with height often comes strength. Not just physical strength, but mental strength. There is nothing wrong with using every advantage you can to get ahead in life., So, are you ready to take things to the next level? TruHeight is!

TruHeight has spent years developing this formula. Not just to sell, but for their own children. This isn’t some gimmick. They have developed these products from the ground up. It is a scientific fact that almost half of your child’s potential to be tall comes down to nutrition and sleep. Have you ever noticed the occasional family member who is abnormally tall compared to everyone else? Well, they probably got the right nutrition that everyone else was lacking. Yes, I said lacking. Did you know that approximately 70% of all children are lacking the proper nutrition to achieve their potential height? 70% of all children could be taller and stronger. Wouldn’t you like for your child to be the ones that stand out, like Todd?

And it’s not just for sports. If Todd had never played sports, I’m sure he would have had opportunities only because he was tall. Maybe it was a job promotion, or marrying the woman of his dreams. It could be many things that were made available to him because he stands out in a crowd. He stands above the crowd, and so gets noticed. I know that you can see how being tall can perhaps make life easier. Being taller can help your children on their journey through life. It can help them today, tomorrow, and for the rest of their life.

So if you are ready to stop hoping things will change, and start taking things to the next level, TruHeight is ready to take you there. It is backed up by a 6 month guarantee, so what have you got to lose? Help your child become all they can be by starting today! Here is a link so that you can learn more and get your child started on the path of new heights: TruHeights.

ChickLifts After A Few Months Of Service https://momblogsociety.com/chicklifts-after-a-few-months-of-service/ https://momblogsociety.com/chicklifts-after-a-few-months-of-service/#comments Sun, 02 Jul 2023 10:57:55 +0000 https://momblogsociety.com/?p=83478 As I see it, anyone can get a product and look it over and say it ought to do the job.

As I see it, anyone can get a product and look it over and say it ought to do the job. Well here on the Homested, I put things to the test. In some instances, I go above and beyond what it is designed for. I feel as though this is one of those times. You see, it’s one thing to put up a fence and say that it kept the cows in, but it is an entirely different thing to say I put up a fence and drover my 4-wheeler over it, and it’s still working. Okay, so this might not be the best analogy, but you get the idea. Anyways, I have had my ChickLifts for several months now, and it hasn’t disappointed me yet. It was very easy to install. The unit comes with all of the hardware you need, although I added some extra large washers on one of my tractors because of how heavy it is. Yes, I have more than one chicken tractor, and yes, I have more than one ChickLift. I really like the fact that it is one unit, and it raises and lowers just by stepping on it.

So, here on the farm, you use what you have. You don’t go to the store and buy brand new stuff until you have to. Instead, you use materials that are lying around, or leftovers from old projects. This was my mind-set when my chicken tractor began. I wanted a chicken tractor that would last and not fall apart while being moved around.. Long story short, … my chicken tractor is heavy. Much heavier than the traditional Chicken Tractor. And I wasn’t intending to put my ChickLift to the test, but here we are. I do not have a Joel Salatin, nor a John Suscovich style chicken tractor, but I am sure that this ChickLift would work very well for either one. My Chicken Tractors are a pretty unique style Chicken Tractor, and heavier than normal Chicken Tractors. If you would like to see more of either one of my tractors, just leave me a comment and I will see what I can do. For now, here is a video I put together that highlights them.

My lighter tractor is much easier for me to maneuver. I can raise it by just stepping on it and I can pull it without any machinery. After having these Tractors, I can’t imagine ever wanting to have a stationary coop. Sure, I have to move it, but I never have to clean anything. Moving even the heavy coop only takes about 5 minutes and that is only because I use my tractor and I have to go to the barn and get it started and to the job site; hook up the coop, drag it, and put the tractor away. With the light coop, it’s 1-2 minutes and done. I suppose you could say that I spend as much time a year moving the Tractors as someone else does in cleaning their coop, and you are probably right. However, my chickens are on fresh grass every day, and I don’t have to breathe the dust to clean out the coop. I also do not have the expense of bedding for them. For me, it is a good fit.

I have shared my experience with ChickLifts and they have graciously given me an Affiliate link that I would like to ask you to use. Here is the link: https://www.chicklifts.com/?ref=lakotagrandpa. It will allow me the opportunity to make a few bucks, and they also gave me a Promo-Code so that you can get 20% off on your purchase! It’s a win-win situation for both of us. To get one of their products, just click on this link: ChickLifts. When you go to checkout, enter the Code: MOMBLOG20 and you will receive a 20% discount on your purchase.

I hope you found this informative and if you would like to see more or just have an inquiry, leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Take care, and see you next time…

I know that when you start looking for a feeder for your chickens, there are a lot of different ones to choose from. From past experience I have learned to do some research before buying something. Too many times I have bought a product I thought was okay; only to find out that it wasn’t what I needed. Or I would buy a product that was cheap and wouldn’t last, and I would have to buy a another one or a different one. I was basically throwing my money away. I wanted a feeder that would keep mice and rats out of the feed. I have had them in my barn before when I raised pigs. I don’t raise pigs anymore, but the thought of those rodents returning didn’t sound like something I wanted to do again. I didn’t think that a rat-proof feeder would be that hard to find, but I was really surprised at how few of them actually exist. I mean, doesn’t everyone want to keep rodents out of their feed? Anyways, in order to have a rat and mouse-proof feeder you have to eliminate any and all plastic feeders. Rats and mice can chew through them. It also disqualifies any open feeder. You don’t have many options left. The only one that stood out to me was Grandpa’s Feeders. Why? Well, simply put, it is a quality product that is dependable and well made. Before I got my feeders from Grandpa’s Feeders, I looked over their website and I found something that I hadn’t seen anywhere else… This is the deciding moment… A 24 Month 100% Money Back Guarantee! Once I saw that, I decided to look further. I also found that Grandpa has been making chicken feeders for about 30 years! Maybe longer. And to say you have 2 years to see if it lives up to it’s name, well, … you automatically know it is a quality product.

I had an issue with my feeder. Nothing that you might expect, so bear with me. The instructions tell you that your chickens won’t instinctively know that there is food inside. You have to teach them to use it. There are two tiers of holes in the side. The first week you use the top holes so that the door stays open and your chickens can see the feed. And as you might have guessed, they’re very inquisitive. So now your chickens know where the food is. On the second week, you use the second tier of holes. Now the motion of the lid moves about half the distance. Then on week three, you don’t use any of the holes and the full motion is made to open the door. Now we get to the issue I had. You see, chickens are normally fearful of things that are moving around them, and that’s a good thing. That’s how they stay alive. However, now I just want them to eat. Well, once I got to week three, they wouldn’t eat. Just as soon as the lid would start to rise, they took off. So, I contacted Grandpa’s Feeders, and someone in their staff told me to do week one again and then week two. I really didn’t want to start over. That’s when they suggested putting a counterweight on it. I liked that idea. I decided to go through week two again (using the bottom holes). I duct taped a piece of metal on the step. After one week, I wasn’t using any of the holes, but I left the weight on it for an additional week. After that I removed the weight and now, as you can see, they use it without a problem. It’s just a small inconvenience to teach them to use it, but so worth it! Now I don’t have to worry about birds, mice, or rats eating any of their feed. Below is a video or them using it:

Other than my hens taking a couple of extra weeks to get used to the feeder, I have had no problems. And just because I had that problem doesn’t mean you will. As you can see, they have no problem using it now. The containers are made of sturdy metal. I have both the Standard Size and the Large Size, and both of them are solid. There are no parts that I would consider to be flimsy. I only weigh 160 pounds, but I can sit on them with no problem. Since I have both feeders, I just take a bag of feed at a time and dump it in. That makes it easier and faster for me. And like I have stated before, I’m not feeding all of the birds and rodents in the area. The feeders also have a screen inside to keep them from scratching or pecking feed out onto the ground. I also want to include this piece of information; Avian Flu is out there. Do you know where it comes from? Wild Birds, so if they are finding feed on the ground or are able to get into the feeders, they will. This increases your odds of one of your birds (or the whole flock) contracting it. As if the rodents weren’t bad enough. Anyways, if they aren’t habitually visiting your flock, there is a less  likelihood that you will have an issue with it. Just one more reason I like this feeder…

Sorry, this article went on longer than I thought it would. But I wanted you to know that this product was well thought out, and made to last. If you would like to purchase one for yourself, here is the link: Grandpa’s Feeders. It isn’t an affiliate link. I don’t get any kick-backs for recommending this product. It is just a product that I believe in. And apparently they believe in it as well. Otherwise they wouldn’t offer you A 24 Month 100% Money Back Guarantee!

I am going to Highlight the reasons that you need one of Grandpa’s Feeders in a moment. But before I do, I want to announce that Grandpa’s Feeders is Giving Away one of their Standard Feeders to one lucky individual as an Easter Celebration! Below is a Rafflecopter icon. Just click on it and join in on the Giveaway.

Remember, we will never ask you for any payment or credit card information, so if you are ever contacted by someone concerning this Giveaway, and they ask you for any type of payment for anything, it isn’t us and it is a scam! The winner will be contacted through our email and we will need your address, but we will not ask you for payment for shipping or anything else. Please be aware and safe!

Okay, let’s take a look at one of their feeders. Nice feeder, wouldn’t you say? Made sturdy to withstand the constant abuse from your chickens. It is made of metal, not plastic that can age and become brittle and break. Also with plastic feeders, the rodents can chew through them. Grandpa’s Feeders are an all metal construction. No rodent is going to chew through that! And just so you know, Grandpa’s Feeders have withstood the test of time. Grandpa’s Feeders have been made for over 25 years, and have probably the best warranty of any chicken feeder on the market. They confidently offer a 100%, 24-month money-back guarantee. 2 years? Now that’s a guarantee! Do you know of any other company that offers that? If so, let me know in the comments, because I want to know.

If you have Chickens, you are going to have to feed them. Now, you can just throw their feed on the ground and your chickens will eat. You can also use a bowl or a gravity feeder, but you will also be feeding and attracting mice, wild birds, rats, raccoons, bears, opossums, and no telling what else. Usually it is the rodents that will eat a lot of your feed. Like all animals, if it is an easy meal, they will remember it and return over and over and possibly bring their friends with them. Grandpa’s Feeders is the perfect way to stop that from happening. Since the rodents aren’t able to access the food, they will find an easier meal somewhere else. With Grandpa’s Feeders you will be feeding your chickens only and you won’t be attracting unwanted pests. Now, I have to say, if you leave your feeder out in the open where all animals can access it,  there is the possibility that raccoons, bears, and opossums are going to get into it. But since you will be protecting your chickens from predators, I’m sure you will have your feeder in the coop or run so that only your chickens can access it.

The feeder has a platform, and when your chickens step on the platform, it lifts the lid of the feed bin allowing your chickens to feed. When your chicken steps off, it closes up. Pretty cool if you ask me. I also want to explain the fact that your chickens aren’t going to instinctively know that there is food inside, nor do they know that they can step on the platform to access their food. It is something that you are going to have to teach them. Lucky for me, Grandpa’s Feeders has already devised a systematic way to acclimate your chickens to the process. It takes a total of 3 weeks to get them using the feeder. Week one, the feeder is wide open so that the chickens can see the feed. It worked best for me to place the new feeder where the old one was. I removed the old feeder so that the only way for them to eat is in the new feeder. Week two, the feeder is half open. This way your chickens get used to the motion of the opening feed bin when they stand on the platform. They will learn that it doesn’t hurt them and soon use it without being scared. Week three, your done. Remove the bolt that holds the feeder half open and now your chickens will get used to the fact that it opens all the way. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but it has only been two weeks up until this point. All it takes is for one of your chickens to use it and the rest of them learn from that one. By now they are used to feeding there, and they know that their food is in there, so it may take them a little time to feel safe with the full movement (just like when they were getting used to the half movement. Soon they will be using it as if they have had it all their lives. If you add more chickens into your flock, they will also learn from the other chickens on how to use it. Now you are able to use it for years to come. And if you are like me, you started out with a Standard Feeder. But, you can always upgrade to the larger feeder and they already know how to use it, so you won’t have to teach them again. Oh, didn’t I mention the Larger Feeder?

Well, Grandpa’s Feeders also has a Large Chicken Feeder. It holds twice as much feed as the Standard Feeder. The Standard Feeder holds approximately 20 pounds of feed. That’s enough to feed 6 chickens for 10 days. While the Large Feeder holds approximately 40 pounds of feed. That’s enough to feed 12 chickens for 10 days. Obviously they can accommodate more chickens than that, you’ll just have to fill it up more often. It is also noteworthy that Grandpa’s Feeders are also Waterproof. That doesn’t mean watertight. If it is submerged in water, your feed will get wet, but for normal conditions, it will keep your feed dry. It is also suitable for pheasants, and bantams. Just think, this feeder will allow you the opportunity to take off for the weekend if you want. So here’s how you can get your very own… just click on this link: Grandpa’s Feeders.
