      @@janetkoball44 I like male voice when listen to stories. Just a personal preference. However love me some Elsa she slays at so much and she is super creative.

    I'm about 1/3rd through the book and it's awesome. It's the first book I've read in about 10 years. I like to think of this book as a nomadic encyclopedia. It's informational but also personal moments as well. Thank you 😊

    1) Got my book. Have only read the forward and introduction thus far but already impressed by Barron's ability to articulate. I never knew he'd gone through the struggles he did. I found it both eye-opening and touching how he put himself through the ringer and pulled himself out. I can't wait to read the rest of it. Thank you for sharing yourselves.
    2) You mentioned Hannah Lee Duggan. I've been watching her for years. I love that little cutie. She's like the little sister I never had.
    3) I think it would be way cool if you reached out and invited Hannah to your homestead. You two would make bang-up friends.
    4) I love the progress you're making. I'll be here for the entire process rooting you on. See you soon, guys. Love at you.

    For your next tall bed, put some branches/sticks in the bottom and a layer of leaves or some other mulch and THEN put soil on top. That way you don't have to worry about filling the bed with so much soil! :)

    Mentioned on discord but have to add it here too-I LOVE the book, Barron! It is seriously everything I have wanted and needed as a handbook for our lifestyle. Your guys’ videos have helped so much, your the reason why we chose to live in this 13ft Uhaul trailer! But the book is everything. I love having it all in my hand, I love being able to make tabs and notes. Barron, you did great. It’s a rad book, it’s a new favorite, and I can’t wait to hear the audio version later! ✌🏼❤

    I absolutely love the table and James' approach to speeding up the process. It worked!! I received Barron's book on Friday and have already read it once. Now I am reading it again with more intention to pull out the things I would find very useful in the event that the grid goes out. I'll never be a "Nomad," but it is so jam-packed with useful information that anyone could use for different things. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I highly recommend everyone buy your book and read it.

    I ADORE following your guy's journey--thank you for sharing what you do! A quick question for you: Have you heard of waffle gardening? If not, you might want to look into it as it's what some tribes used in the desert where there was little water. Oh, a quick note--cilantro is a cool weather crop and bolts in hot temps. You might want to find a place that gets shade most of the day. :) (having made this mistake I'd hate to see your cilantro suffer the same fate!)
    Also, congrats on getting that window in! I nearly reached through my computer when I saw it fall forward! lol!

    Just wanted to say that I’ve been a huge fan since back with the good ole biolite stove. I’ve been here since pretty much the very beginning. I’ve ordered numerous stickers because I’m always finding something that one of your stickers will fit perfectly on, I’m waiting to order one of your beautiful rings also. I pre ordered Barrons book and received it Saturday around 2ish. Well it was finished that night even with bottle feeding 2 sets of orphaned kittens that are different ages so they need care at different times. Excellent content!!! Very very satisfied with my purchase. I now have my husband started on reading it. I just wanted to throw out there that I’d love to see a book from Elsas point of view in the future. Thank you for sharing your lives with us, the great merch and now a book!!! It’s always money and time well spent when it comes to you both. Love seeing you evolve and grow as humans. Looking forward to what your future has in store for you! ❤
