Totally Not There
Приєднався 28 кві 2024
We are Gary and Jamie. April of 2021 we brought 10 Acres of land in the mountains of North Carolina, 10 hours away from home. Our plan is to clear the land and build our dream vacation / retirement home. Every possible chance we get to go down we get closer to our dream. But we still have a long road ahead of us. Come join us along our journey.
Heading to NC to check our property for damage after Hurricane Helene

The translation is “ this truck is a thank you for giving us the two atomic bombs in 1945.” Lol
Not really the 35 got the job done ✔️
Totally natural if this is your first time with a right hand drive, you tend to fear the ditch and hug the center line.
So true!!
Pottymouth!
Yeah that’s Gary !
😆 I know the feeling.. a couple of my dogs do the same! It’s gotten to the point that I just let them stay gone til they come back home 🤣. They absolutely LOVE the creek on my property! #10acres #NC as well!
When dozer hears something he just takes off running!
@@TotallyNotThere lol.. as much as we spoil them.. dogs will still be dogs at times! 💯🐶❤️
Corn is great without butter or salt if the corn is fresh and from New Jersey.
It was jersey sweet corn. From a local farmer :)
Wow your grass is out of control 😅
Next you should get some solar.
We are working on it :)
Enclosed trailer are good storage
That was not a grasshopper. It was a praying mantis and when I was a kid it was against the law to kill then. They eat a lot of insects.
Yes we realized later it was a praying mantis. We made sure not to hurt him moving him.
My pitty is like this. She can’t stand to smell clean, so she finds whatever she can that stinks to roll in and cover herself. Opossum poop seems to be her favorite 🤦🏼♂️ the smell is horrific
Dozer loves to look like a homeless dog! Lol
Typical landlord behavior
Yeah and our was the worst!
I had that happen to me after 15 yrs on a hobby farm. And the “landlord” was my own father. A skanky gold digger 15 yrs younger brainwashed him into marriage after my mom died 2 yrs earlier. I am single and had minimal help trying to pack up yrs worth of my earthly goods + my pets. It was physically & emotionally traumatic. I have never forgiven him/her. Not sad @ all that he died 10 yrs later.
@@barbwall3678 oh wow I’m so sorry to hear that’s sad.
Yea 30 days isn’t enough!! You should have asked for a bit longer especially after you have been there that long!
Moving sucks!
We need trump back!!!!
Yes get Biden out and bring trump back!!!!
Gary where is your flag????
Resourceful!!
Hell no to the spiders and snakes! The puppers are so cute ❤
Wash cycle, rinse cycle and spin cycle. Pretty cool to have out there for sure! Definitely useful.
It really is!
How anoying trying to watch your video with your generator running the whole time!
Oh trust me we know we hate the generators. Working on it.
Smart to do the testing on the water - best to be safe! Blessings to Both of You!
You as well. Thank you, yes we are very happy we don’t drink the water!
Great video - great system! Thank you for sharing! My wife and I are setting up on our 39.3 acres property in a month - we are in Northern Nevada and looking forward to being off grid.
Thank you! Best of luck to you and your wife. It’s definitely work getting set up off grid but will be worth it in the end.
Well they might be dying now with the algae or worms
@@Scale.Symphony.Aquatics nope they are good :)
Everybody wants a tiny bit of land to live "off grid" then complain when the critters come.
Gotta keep the fur babies cool ❤
Yes have to make sure their safe and having fun :)
Thanks for the video. Where did you get that downspout Y shaped fitting that comes directly off the gutter? I have been looking for something that will divert rainwater from the first flush system whenever I choose.
Hey Johnny, thanks for watching the videos :) we ordered it right from Amazon. a.co/d/06gFDnOV
Hey good folks, get a 20 gal pressurized accumulator tank for the water, you wont believe the difference.
Hi we will have to look into that
We are going to do a 60-80 gallon in a shed to the RV. I think you are correct in regard to the amount of pressure and I am hoping to lessen the wear on the pump. We'll see.
@@rongray4118 it is an absolute guarantee that it will lessen the wear on the pump
I agree I hate snakes and spiders as well. Atleast it was only the skin and not the whole snake
big improvement on getting water for your camper.
Yes it is.
If you wanted to do you think you can drink your water????
We just posted a video testing the water :) ua-cam.com/video/q2IpUoMfu80/v-deo.htmlsi=maQHCxjZbn8bVxTe
Checked my trailer and found my screen door had a 6" rip in the lower sheet metal panel and a .45 cal slug laying between it and the main door. Glad it didn't go thru the roof!! Who the hell is shooting high cal shells into the air. Minnesota dumbasses!
Well, you could go two ways with this... 1) Now you have a new access hole for some wire work or outside access for plumbing, TV, or whatever. Or 2) pump it full of expanding insulation foam, cover it with a patch of siding, and call it a day. 💩 happens, especially out in the woods!
@@teebee9735 yeah gary will fix it up next time we go down in a few weeks.
@@TotallyNotThere - When I was pregnant, I lived in an 18 ft class C RV, and then later bought a 40 ft "park model" trailer (it was like a miniature mobile home), back when we still had land line phones. So, I would have used the hole for the telephone, but nowadays everything is mobile. But it would work for a TV if you were so inclined. Best of luck to you! And happy Fourth of July!
@@teebee9735 thank you very much, you as well!
Hmmm hello?
Some JB weld will permanently fix that hole for minimum cost It won't look great but it won't take in water
@@joshuabailey2746 oh gary knows JB weld very good. Lol
Someone might have been shooting in those woods. You guys got lucky.
@@bamboo851 we did get very lucky
Wow you guys got lucky no one got hurt !!!!!
@@LisaMarie-ow5tc yeah camper can be fixed. Happy us or the dogs didn’t get hit
It's just one
Thankfully yes
#3 cabin is the best and you should get horses!
Cabin 3 has my vote too. I think the three bedroom tho. Horses not so sure about them tho lol
They look like they are having a great time!!! Carefree and fun!!!!
Oh yeah they a lot! It’s truly a dog play ground
Almost every creek and stream has trace amounts and even high amounts of arsenic which miners flooded most streams and rivers in the early 1900s across North America
hi minnie winnie
I like the song choice
Why is Jamie always taping??? Come on Gary let’s see your wife!
We are very sorry we just start filming. But Jamie will be in upcoming videos soon.
Push him in next time!!!!
She is coming in with me then lol!!!
Crazy! Glad everyone was okay! Time for a new truck 🤪
Thankfully we are good and the wheel didn’t hit any cars flying across the street.
Working with what you have makes it easier for sure!
Yup it had to get done
This proves that I need atleast an e42 thanks
Nice !!
Thanks!
