Hi, I’m Silas Boone.
I grew up around old mountain people who still remembered how to live with their hands, their land, and the common sense passed down through generations. They fixed what broke, grew what they could, wasted almost nothing, and knew how to get by without depending on every modern convenience.
On this channel, I share the forgotten Appalachian ways I was raised around — practical home knowledge, old garden tricks, simple repairs, food preservation, natural pest control, porch wisdom, and the quiet skills families once used every day to protect their homes and live more independently.
These are not fancy methods. They are simple, time-tested lessons from people who learned by doing, long before disposable products, high monthly bills, and modern shortcuts took over daily life.
