RoseRed Homestead and Trail Grazers


RoseRed Homestead is a YouTube channel dedicated to three themes: emergency preparedness, food security, and self-reliance. It also boasts a second channel called Trail Grazers, which is dedicated to helping viewers prepare meals while out on a trail.

The primary face of the two channels is Pam Cantrell, who previously worked as the associate provost for academic and budget planning at Utah Tech University. I met her on several occasions when I was a journalist for the university newspaper. Her husband Jim is also prominent on the channel.

Cantrell guides people through the steps of cooking, preparing food storage, and setting up equipment and gadgets, among other things. She also taps into her science background in the way that she explains the steps, logic, and measurements.

Her personality really shines through, and I could see her competing with the best of them if she had her own Food Network show, which isn't really surprising after seeing her in action at Utah Tech.

Sometimes, like in the video above about making apple pie from scratch, the camera work is a bit shaky, but I think that adds to the charm of the channel. And clearly a lot of people agree since RoseRed Homestead has 277k subscribers and Trail Grazers has 16.2k subscribers as of writing this.

Another great thing about the two channels is that they connect back to a website that includes free recipes, links to buy the products used in videos, and a place to buy books that Cantrell has written.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I suggest checking the two channels out.
