Glad you are ok! Take it from a career Paramedic. Newer studies have shown that you can have a turnequit on for a considerable period of time before the lack of circulation contributes to a negative outcome. Stopping the bleeding is the priority! Rest up
My grandmother grew up in Iowa. She told me that when she was little a neighbor boy who was about 3 somehow fell into the pig pen and was killed (and eaten) by the pigs. Gruesome but true. They can be dangerous.
I’m just seeing this & catching up on my KZhead watching! Holy Hannah - I missed a lot! 😱 I am so grateful that you’re going to recover! All I kept thinking was this is why my Grandpa always said to never even *think about* turning your back on ANY intact male or ANY mothers with babies. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, yet so overjoyed you’re okay.❤️❤️
I am glad you are OK our family has gone through a very simple event. It was with a steer not a hog but we now make 100 percent sure that when we castrate that we get both testicles. I hope you now know why most farmers remove the I teeth or tusks on a pig. It is not to harm the animal in any way but to help make sure we all go home to our family at night. Love your channel and hope you heal fast
Jason Stremcha yeah, I was going to say, above, if you got a hog or a bull, you should have a side arm. But I’m a suburb girl who sorta grew up on my uncle’s gentleman farm. Your advice is better.
There is a public education program called “Stop the Bleed” about tourniquets. They only need to tighten to the point of controlling the bleeding. They don’t need to kill the limb. I’m glad you are in the path to recovery.
Not sure I have ever heard that, could you site a source so I can share that info in a future video?
Would love to see that info
www.dhs.gov/stopthebleed I know that there are counties in Michigan that host this class and have Stop the Bleed kits. I just went to the SSL web site and I noticed that your area code is 989. I would love to take this topic off-line. Your county may participate in this program.
I also have heard from several different sources that a tourniquet can be on with total blood flow to limb cut off for several hours without fear of losing the limb.
I can't say anything everyone has already said. We are just very grateful you are here and on the road to recovery! You have reminded all of us of the dangers that do exist when on the faem/homestead. We'll continue praying for you and your family until your fully recovered!
Who do you think was controlling the pig? God Who do you think stopped the bleeding? The human Humans have free will, animals dont. Nature acts on god's will, humans have free will. Dont you dare insult god's will, you heathen. This is all god's plan, including the injury. How dare you think you know better than god to 'pray' to him and ask him to change what he has planned. You should be putting your faith into god's plan and not ask him to change anything, for he is wiser than you can ever be, and he is just and fair. I dont know what this guy did, but he got what he deserved, or this is part of some grand series of cause and effect that we mortals cannot even begin to fathom
You could of reminded yourself he didn't remind you because you didn't know
My foot got spurred
That's a tough situation and a terrifying experience. I am glad you are OK and that everyone is recuperating after the loss of George. Hoofs, tusks, beaks, claws, teeth...we are always just a few moments away from danger even when we love our animals.
So happy and Praise the Lord - Our prayers are answered - you are OKAY and that was our prayer. NEW PRAYER = speedy, full and complete recovery. Totally impressed with how calm you seem and so glad to see you on You Tube again! Just - - - - - Praise God.

Prayers for a complete healing 🙏🙏👍👍☕☕
Wow! I am thankful to god that your still with us. I now understand why my aunt castrated her pigs. You will be in my prayers.
Lesson #1 in hog farming. Never ever turn your back on a hog. God bless you brother.
So glad you are ok!! I understand accidents happen on farms. We all get complacent in our chores. We all need to know when to ask for help when we need it. This some how needs to be turned into a positive. The main thing is you need to look for another boar to impregnate your sows. Please remember no video is worth getting hurt. Again so glad you are ok and recovering.
So so grateful you are ok. Praying for a speedy recovery that healing will restore new brand new... that is some tremendous excitement your whole family went through with you...you have a great support team there. I am sorry your loss of George I think the entire event was just a horrible situation. You are well blessed that it was not your time to go home yet. God bless you all and prayers to all.
Thank You Father for keeping you in the palm of his hand !!!!! Praying for a quick recovery !!
Great to see you’re in good spirits. Don’t rush getting anything out to us, take time to rest and heal up. God bless you man.

God bless you. I am so glad that you are doing better. There are a lot of us who really care about you and your family.
Thank you! :)
Glad you are ok, and it was not worse. Need you to stay around.
I work on the ambulancws here in the UK and you really did have an angel on your shoulder that day, well done to your wife and girls for there lifesaving Help! They have saved your life! , I know what your wife means by the leg colour, just make sure you rest, rest and did I say.. REST! Then when the time comes do as the physio says! Get well soon from The Ells family
When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were kicked by one of the horses. I was kicked right in the chest and he knocked my breath out and I thought that was it. But I'm glad you are ok and the decision to put George down was absolutely the right call. I would say George fought the war but lost the battle. Videos are the last thing to worry about. Glad your neighbor was there to help too!
Thank God you were blessed with great medical care. Make sure you listen to your medical team they will get you back to 100% as quick as safely possible.

Continued prayers Todd and family. We were very worried about you. Take it slow and heal yourself. Like many of us said....we will always be here. Great to see you in a video!!! God was totally with you. Prayers from Wisconsin!

I do not do any other social media but you tube. I new you were hurt and in hospital from boar attacked.Had no way to wish you well.However did pray it was not bad and waited till you posted this update.Nice to see your doing good. God Bless you and your Family.
Praise God it wasn’t worse. Continued prayers for a quick healing.
I think a farm saftey video would be a good topic! Thank God your healing up!!
Yep!
*you’re*
So glad you're alive and doing well. There are 2 stages in blood stopping. 1st hard direct pressure. If that doesn't work go straight to a tourniquet. Pressure points and elavation are no longer approved methods for hemorrhag control. Tourniquets save lives everyday, study's show there not nearly as bad as we originally thought. They can be on longer than originally expected Its likely that it is what saved your life. I used to be a EMT/ firefighter. Glad response time was 7 min that's above the national average. I have responded to 1 hr calls in urban areas. First aid is important for everyone to know especially if you live in rural areas.
Glory and honor to the medical professionals and first responders, those who actually have the major impact on saving lives. People like you are those who command the forces of death, you are who look death in the face on a daily basis and say 'not today, you will not have this one' The gods among men who truly are changing the world through their power and ability. Just kidding, you are merely a vessel for the lord, praise the lord and life is spared only by his will, nothing you do can ever actually stop someone from dying if the lord willed it so. Praise god!
@@LeonardGreenpaw thanks man I appreciate it.
@@capnjimmy7357 I feel like you didnt read the last part, you are supposed to be offended!
Had no idea what had happened to you have not been able to watch utube as much the last week. I'm way behind on the ones I watch. Glad you are doing better will be praying for you. God bless you and your family.
I am so happy you are okay. God was watching over you that day. I hope you feel better soon. I really missed your videos.
So good to see you getting back in front of the camera Todd. I was my squadron's (USAF Aircraft Maint) lead CPR/FA Instructor and I prayed no one would ever need to use it. Ya done good Brother and your family done good. Heal up and get back in the saddle as soon as you can.
Wow! So glad you were able to jump over the fence and get help right away!! Wishing you well and hope you're back to full strength and health soon!
I'm glad you are ok Todd! Take it easy and rest. I think we will just have to watch some of your older videos for now. God bless!
Appreciate the update. I'm so sorry this happened. Glad to hear no artery damage. Wishing healing for everyone. It's traumatic for the entire family.
Thanks for the update. I've been praying for you guys. Hope you are able to get back on your feet quickly.
Hello from TN! When my Sister was little, she was almost drugged in to the hog pen, by a big hog! Our Father saved her. So glad you are going to be ok! I've always said that pigs are dangerous. GOD bless you all!
Glad you’re home. Get well soon.
So glad you’re alive!! And you look well! Thank you both for the update 💛
It sure is Great to see you upright and talking again! We are praying for your full recovery and that this story will help educate other modern homesteaders to learn from your experience. God Bless you and your Family!!
Wow I always heard pigs were dangerous. Thank God you are still with us. Prayers for your quick recovery.
I'm so glad, the lord was with you and you are still with us. Even though this is just the internet, you've taken us into your life. I for one must say that it's sad to see, you hurt, and wish I was able to go and help out. Take care my brother and family in Christ.
So glad you are ok and well thank the lord you didn’t lose your leg, we all love you guys very much we will be praying for a speedy and thorough recovery god bless you and your family
Any given day it could be any of us. Glad you survived to tell the tale. Everyday I tempt fate feeding my herd of war hogs and it would not take much to have that one bad day. Put it in your toolbox and carry on my friend!
Wow, what a story! You were very lucky George didn't cut your artery. So glad you are home and healing. Blessings on all of you.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
Glad you survived and pray for a quick and full recovery!
Thank the Lord you are safe and healing. Sorry you lost George as you raised him, tough loss. Glad you are okay.

I felt very empathetic watching this. I slipped in the mud out by my barn and landed mouth first on a cinder block. It broke my face bone above the top gum line, broke out a tooth, broke two more teeth in half, and chipped many more. I too had to make it to my front door and get to a hospital. Happened in February, I will get two root canals tomorrow, and maybe by the end of the year get some false teeth, all through the VA. Simple life, complicates in a split second. We have to realize the dangers of our simple, safe homesteads, good you made a video about this.
Oh my gosh!! Im not on facebook or instagram....had no idea. Prayers for your entire family. Love, too.
Don't worry about posting anything, we will be here when you are ready. Go Blue wishing you the best to you & your girls!
So happy you’re ok. Terrifying. Good for military training. I just told my husband the other day that everyone should have emergency procedure training. As you know ANYTHING can happen at anytime. 😘
Brother, thank God for your military training. So thankful things did not take a worse turn for you. From personal experience, I can tell you, not panicking saved your life. Former combat lifesaver and combat engineer here. Went through a similar experience in a mind field clearing incident to my hand and the first person in the lifesaving process is YOU! God bless you brother, Rob
This just came across my feed. My gosh!!! What a horrific thing to happed. Praise God you are ok and got treatment. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So happy that you are home and you are able to share your story
Glad you are home. Please dont rush the healing. We can wait for you to get well before filming.
So glad your home and saved your leg .... will keep you and your family in our prayers .... take care of yourself ...
So glad to hear you are okay and on the road to recovery... take it easy
Glad you survived! Pigs can be very dangerous as this situation shows. Grandpa taught us boys we never went in with livestock without a stick, mostly it was a 2x4 that sat by the gate. The stick was used to guide and move the livestock but also could be used to knock the sense back into them if they turned on us. a few times we had to get after ornery steers, would not take much of a thump to the nose and they changed their minds quick on what ever bad behavior they had planned. The biggest thing though was to know where the animals were before entering the pen or pasture and keeping an eye on them to know their mood too. We stayed out if they were extra ornery or they were looking for a fight with another member of the herd.
I’m sorry you had to endure this but praise god for getting you through it. Always remember the lessons learned from it. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Sorry this happened to you brother. Glad you’re on the mend....it could’ve been a lot worse. Thoughts and prayers.
We are glad you're ok. Gonna need you'll to take a family emergency prep course. Also you need to carry your side arm and keep a radio on you. We love you and the family.
OMG what an important lesson for us all! 12" cut ! sooooo so happy you got through this SSL dad. Get well soon.
Farm safety is a great idea! Glad you're ok and looking forward to more videos. I'd go back and do more research on the tourniquet, though. The last training I got (2016) is that they're not as dangerous to the limb as previously thought, if applied correctly, and that they're no longer a last resort. Plus blood loss is no joke. Once your blood pressure gets past a certain point you can go into cardiac arrest/ have organ damage etc.
Thanks for updating, we have been praying for you and the family.
Well wishes and and prayed for you and the family!
Thank God you were supported and saved! So many people take such horrendous chances, and don't realize how much they have no idea what is an animal's actual natural behavior. They think a sweet tone of voice and gentleness on their part means the animal is harmless. Guess what? Not!
I saw a post from another channel about your accident. I'm glad you're healing and getting better daily!
How traumatic. Thank you for sharing with us and processing with us. I don't know you, but I am so glad you're okay.
Wow... Glad you're recovering. Praying for you. Becareful not to over do it and don't be afraid to ask for help... That is what a church family and good neighbors are for.
We have been so blessed with gifts, meals, rides and prayers. Although we wouldn't have chosen this, we do see the blessings in it. Your prayers mean the world to us and they are being answered!

@@LeonardGreenpaw Piss off KZhead Nazi
Leonard Greenpaw you are seriously confused and uninformed which is easy to happen when it comes to trying to understand the Bible without some guidance. Though the evil are going to be punished we don’t read hearts as God does so we don’t know who is evil. But God does not bring harm to humans for the most part but instead wants the best for us. Satan however does bring harm to humans in various ways though we in our own imperfection inherited from Adam & Eve after they sinned also just make mistakes JUST BECAUSE WE ARE IMPERFECT! So this man may have made a mistake in judging how safe what he was doing with the boars. It doesn’t mean he was being punished by God or in any way evil and we are told not to judge people so how about you pay attention to that part of your Bible also? He is being helpful to others by sharing what he learned from his mistake. I offer to study the Bible free of charge with those who are interested if you would be interested.
@@xanadu1jw Of course, you are one of THOSE people. You dont like the truth I bring so you try to tell me that I am misinformed, because of course YOU have the right information and you know god's will? Satan punishes only those who god allows him to punish. Look at the story of Job, God allowed satan to punish and test him. God's whole promise is to protect us true believers from the torment of the devil. Do you think the devil is ABLE to do anything that god does not want? do you even understand what being all powerful means, God is without equal, that includes the devil, and god is all knowing, the devil cannot hide. If the devil ever did anything against god's will, god would be there to stop it. You have such little faith that you think the devil is not part of god's plan? You have such little faith to think that god would let anything happen to truly innocent believers? mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Do you think the snake is literal? Do you think it a coincidence? The snake they reference is obviously speaking of the same snake from the garden. Even if it was literal, it would surely apply to boars as well. And there are plenty of other passages with the same meaning. It is you who needs to be educated as to the word of god. Stop trying to twist the bible to fit your bias

Great to see you both again. I pray you heal well
Thank goodness you are ok! Farm safety and emergency procedure videos would be great! Lots of folks that go off grid could use that knowledge! Take care!
Thanks for the video, you have just gave me motivation to get a better med kit, and find the quickest route to the nearest hospital.
I'm praying for you guys. My Mom fell on a machete once a few years back and cut her wrist trying to brace herself. Today her wrists works just like it used to. It took maybe a year. They took an unnecessary tendon from her other wrist.
Congratulations SSLFamily dad, you are now a farmer. Glad you survived & got to keep your leg. Thanks be to God.
I'm glad your ok hoping you have a speedy recovery.
You are a true trooper. I wish you a quick recovery. We all feel for you. God bless you are alive and will bounce back.
Please take the time to heal. We are here and will be waiting. So glad you are recovering. Praying for a speedy and complete recovery.
So glad you’re on the mend! I am so sorry you all had to go through all that!
So glad you're back, have all your limbs and I'm sure you will heal quickly and be living that's spectacular life you share with us. Get well soon in glad to see you back at home.
Glad that you are up to talk about what happened! Feel better man. Sleep does wonders! 🙏🏼

you'll be stronger than ever in no time my friend, it's great to see you with such high spirits! take your time and make sure you heal well, your family will benefit with the experience, helps us grow faster! best wishes for a full recovery from Portugal :)
Yikes, I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I'm very glad it wasn't even worse! I'd totally understand if you don't want to keep replaying the situation over and over, but you mentioned that you might do a video on it, and if you do, I'd love to hear what you'd do differently for first aid for severe trauma like that. Slipping with a chainsaw or a deep knife accident are my worst fears on the farm. I have a kit with a tourniquet, Quickclot sponges, and pressure bandage, but I'm worried I'd seize up and forget how to use any of it if something like this happened to me. I'm so happy you are on the mend though!
I knew something big was up... So glad you are ok.... What a scary situation.. but i guess that's farm life with large animals. Just glad you are safe and kept your leg. Hoping for a speedy recovery... God Bless you and your family...
Glad to actually hear from you. Continued prayers from Nebraska.
I need to go back and see if any of those boars are on video. Glad to see you are okay. Very close call.
I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend! I will continue to pray for you and your family!
With what happen to you, you look amazing. So happy you are home and doing so well.

Glad you are going to be ok prayers for a speedy recovery! Take care don’t worry about video I am sure we will all be here when you are well again your health is more important than videos.
Glad you’re doing better. Prayers that the healing continues so you can get back to the good ole farm life. Thanks for the update!!👊🏻👊🏻
Glad you're ok bro. God bless you and your family during this tough time. I hope you heal fast.
Wow! You are very blessed. I’ve seen an attack from a wild boar. Truly traumatic and quickly devastating. Now, would be a good time to discuss safety aspects. First, considering your recovery it would be easier on you physically. Second, a super great way to serve others. God bless!
Prayers answered my friend. I will continues to pray for healing, and no other issues.
