@@ArizonaOffGrid we’ve seen a rattlesnake or two out on the road but they weren’t nearly as big as this one! It’s exciting. Snakes are cool, they just pass thru and carry on :)

@@Tom-dd1we hey tom! Good to hear, maybe we will cross paths!

@@4jkhan the way of renting snd enslaving ourselves to a system that is take take take is no more! Slowly but surely we are taking back our freedom, and it feels so liberating!! A bit of hard work is worth it for a better life even if nobody around you understands right now, one day they’ll realize when they’re drowning in debt and a wage slave and you’re connecting with nature and growing your own food, enjoying hobbies, and building community.

@ well said! Very empowering and eye opening!

@@4jkhan blessings to you on your journey! May you achieve your goals with ease and joy ✨

@@4jkhan so glad to hear it Joshua! The better quality the pallets are, the easier the overall project will be. Get em free from areas that get rid of them in good condition ideally! Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

@@brookolson1923 💗

@@saxonwarrior388 thanks so much! It definitely is a beast to put up haha

@@theALPHAbeteer yes!! 🙌

@@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge WOW thank you Greg. We will definitely take this advice for next time! Trystan will be delighted to hear what you have to say. Thanks for checking out our vid :)

@@IAMvoiceofAtlAS 💪🙌🙌

@@IAMvoiceofAtlAS thank you! Team work makes the dream work!

@@theALPHAbeteer if you can make it happen, make it happen!!

@@theALPHAbeteer I was hoping someone would point that out lolol

@@theALPHAbeteer 😆😆

@@theALPHAbeteer that would be so so fun!!!

@@wandasnyder5176 hmm that’s a great idea! Any suggestions on what kind/how to keep the rats from nesting in it?

I would think probably spray foam low expanding.

@ I’ll have to look into it, thanks for the idea!

@@Tom-dd1we 😆 thanks Tom! I really try to do my part in it all! Though there was plenty of problem solving that needed to be done, I am super happy with how quickly we got it up and without bickering 🙌

@@kimg8098 yes, time! Adjustment for sure. Early am is wonderful working time out here :) thanks for the comment!

@@imahappy420 I was wondering what else there was of people living like this! I haven’t seen these tents utilized in any off grid videos I watch. Where up north?

@@Bellllllz thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I was not one to eat much meat, but out here it REALLY helps sustain my energy. I’m moving way more and I gotta eat way more lol. And yes to electrolytes!! Every day!

@@holistic-mystic tyty!!

@@brunildaarroyo383 I know but it was rushed based on when we could get help out here

Unfortunately those military canvas tents have to be setup in that order. The weight is unbelievably heavy on the tarp.

@ yep!

@@Di3-z hi! It sounds like we do have similar terrain. Are you in Arizona? We have looked into planting garlic & lavender as well! What areas will you be planting yours? We’re really big into companion planting/learning permaculture. We get big tarantulas, but I don’t mind them. They just go about their business :)

@spiritsojourning I'm in New Mexico in Santa Rosa area lots of heat and good dry clay. I'm doing a major garden out back, and patio planting in front of main house. Will be getting fruit trees put in late February in the front property. I'm hoping. Water is still the problem, but working on it. Have a great day. 👍

@ amazing!! I like that area. Good luck with your fruit trees. We had to wrap wire all the way around and up the tree because some critter ate out three year old fig tree all the way down to the stump 🥲 let us know what you end up doing with your water situation! Swales are an awesome start:)

Yes! And pushing the legs til they were standing upright instead of trying to push from the top section to get it in line! We can’t wait to show you all what we’ve done to the inside 😍

Maybe you shouldn't have watched a sit down talk video then! We have plenty of videos of our build. Perhaps you should take your own advice...

How rude you are. Other people enjoy them.

@@spiritsojourning what you are doing is amazing and keep up the good work.

@ thank you!

Good point about the territory marking! I haven't smelled anything, but there are some coyote dens nearby. We've only seen one coyote, so I'm not sure if the den is active, but they definitely pass through here. We keep an eye out for fresh tracks nearby too. That's the nice thing about our land - you can see what's been around usually :) we just got two kittens - we only let them out during daylight, and bring them in an hour before sunset since that tends to be hunting time for the coyotes and such. Any other tips you have, we'd love to hear them!

Hmm I'd have to say what continues to be the toughest adjustment is the climate. Summers are HOT and winters can be really cold at night. Once we have air conditioning, I don't think it'll be that difficult, but right now I am at the mercy of the elements! It can be very challenging and draining.

@@jamesvandenheuvel9644 thanks James!! You found us :)

<3

Wow. I bet the sounds were overwhelming at first, but do you find them to be enjoyable now? I would guess it's strange to go other places and not hear all that wildlife! Thank you for your support, Mick. We really appreciate it. Not everyone will understand why it is such a worthwhile temporary discomfort/sacrifice. But we're hoping to foster a great community here in person, and on UA-cam to inspire more to get out of the awful rent trap. Talk soon I hope :)

@@spiritsojourning I really love to see young people stepping out of the box and coming to the place where they see that the "normal" is kinda toxic to a forfilling life. Before I lived here I was in a couple of communities . This place is just the three of us in three cabins in the forest (SE Queensland Australia) a mini community, permaculture etc... Before that I lived on my yacht sailing the pacific for eight years. When you guys look back in a year or so after the hardest part is done you won't belive how much you have developed as people and the skills and self-reliance that you have. It's so rewarding. I look forward to following your journey but I can already see that you have "the right stuff".

@ Yeah, thank ya! I think we got the right stuff too haha. Yep, it is toxic and sucks the joy out of life for us. It’s awesome to hear that you’ve been able to find a path that works for you. I absolutely love the parts of Queensland I got to explore. It’s a magical place and the wildlife is incredible.

Aldo - as in Kendra's Aldo? or is this a different Aldo :)

@@spiritsojourning the one and only

@@Aldo816 ayeeee Aldo! Welcome to the channel & thanks for the comment!

yeah we do! this was from our 22nd day on the land. it was an acclimation for sure :)

Haha thank you! We're so happy to have it up.

@@hypnicjerk7696 hahah at least you know I’m being honest lol

I thought it was impressive :,)

Believe it or not, we were told this would need 4 strong big men to set up, and could take 4-8 hours. We got it up in 3 hours between the three of us! It's an awkward big beast to put up, that's for sure. I'll have to ask Trystan what he thinks of your pulley idea!

ugh! you're right :)

😂😂😂 facts

@@theALPHAbeteer hahaha

@@MelissaMessier :) what did you find funny!

@spiritsojourning if you had never seen your channel before and you came across it on your algorithm and watched it at double speed because of a time crunch you would laugh too. I really needed a laugh at the time so thank you. 🤗

@@MelissaMessier lol love that! Have a great day :)

@spiritsojourning you too! 🤗

All the blessings in five unbound potential for all of us, infinite indivisible individuals

@@jaymeswheeler that’s a good idea, thanks! We didn’t have a generator or solar for plug in power at the time but definitely have this in mind.
