great place
You in joy. I am happy for you guy's.
So Exciting to get land!!
Tennessee is awesome and no tax! I'm from there and will move back to retire.
How nice that you could take Beau with you into that cute hotel.
Hi! My husband and I have followed your very informative videos - we are actually here in Linden, TN right now (4/14) and will be (hopefully) purchasing land this weekend! So excited. Hopefully, we will get to meet you at some point, in person. I am Nan and my husband is Mark - both retired…now we can be on the road “almost” full time and look forward to making a home for us in Linden. :)
Congrats on your new RV lot. I am getting one in Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston Texas for my motor home. Very exiting project. I noticed that you are a Ham Radio. I have been a ham radio for over 50 years now (KD5VRK). Enjoy your new spot . 73s , George from Texas.
SUPER Content -- we sell a ton of land, so pro-tip for others who want to do this --- have those Stone Trucks spread that stone -- that will save a ton of money not having that skid steer doing all that work. Nice channel - subscribing.
Be aware that those trees are less stable now that their roots have been disturbed and some trees are now exposed to new wind patterns. Thats a very cool spot for friendly get togethers with friends. I'll be following...
As for the gate- you can wait and see how things go, knowing you can do that whenever you need it. Once word gets out, things may change and it might be good to have a gate when you are there. Just saying...
Merry Christmas, have you looked into above ground concrete storm shelters, there are a bunch of utube videos about them. Incase the hotel's in town have no vacancies.
Wish you’d have sent the drone up higher to see the layout. I was gonna buy in phase 2, but no prices available so unsure if will keep my flight out this weekend. Well done you two, looks fun.
you might want to build a roof for your camper to park under because that area gets more wind storms than we get over here in the smokies
Collect the pine needles and sell to crafters who weave baskets!
ARE YOU ALSO GOING TO HAVE A WATER HOOK UP?
poor trees...owie!
The property is absolutely beautiful! Why are people not wearing mask, seems somewhat dangerous! Happy Holidays guys and stay safe!
Will a Rohn tower be going up among those trees?!
Hello. My wife and I love your videos. We are going to buy a lot at Woodlands this weekend. Could you share the companies you used for septic, well and electric as we are from Florida and are not familiar with any contractors there?
Curious as to why you didn’t sell the trees?
Great idea to set up a home base for those in this lifestyle of travel.
It would be great if you keep us posted with a breakdown of all the costs involved. Example, land, driveway work, septic, etc. I figure for $150K you could be all set up.
Beautiful wooded area. Townsfolk seem friendly. However; I'd suggest you put a basement or storm shelter in whenever you do build. ENJOY another New Adventure & Chapter in your lives!
Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🙏
Loblolly pine trees are known for their shallow root system. Strong winds just tip them over.
I work for Republic Services and will be transferring from Indiana to Texas next year. I bought a 1997 winnebago adventure 37rw and plan on living in it in a rv park or private lot with my girlfriend and two dogs. I drive a truck for work and listen to your podcasts all the time. Keep up the good work!
We were in Hohenwald during our Natchez trace trip and staying at natchez thousand trails. So we know your area…enjoy.
Lots of ticks with all those pines. Check your dog often.
Why is a treadmill better than a walk?
Thank you for documenting this process 🙏
We also bought property and set up two RV sites so we always have a place to land.
Mike what brand radio is shown in this video?
FlyGuy W1 MJQ
As an Elkhound parent, I love the videos with Bo bouncing around.
That tree cutting machine is awesome! Sign me up as visitor!! lol!
Congrats you two! It's snowing in Lakeside Ohio! Glad you chose TN!! It's cold on AZ too!
a shame because those are perfect trees with which to build a log cabin wow!
LOL Well, we don't want to be off the grid on that land. Or a log cabin.
Great idea! You could have one for all seasons….Michigan, Maine, Texas, Montana, …..
I really like that idea!
Your property is already looking like home. Enjoy!!!
Bo loves the freedom...off leash. Like most humans!!👍🏻😉 Welcome to Tennessee. We are in Knoxville. Love your videos! I love that the hotel allows dogs. I've been seeing that a lot lately and so glad!
Do you have costs listed somewhere? Utilities, etc
Thank you for sharing your new property. It looks like a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy!
It is. We cant wait to get back down in January to do some more!
You were lucky to find a pet friendly hotel...and very smart to avoid those terrible storms! Your property is beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along on this journey!❤🙏Jane in SC I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas!
Your property is BEAUTIFUL and I know you all are excited about the progress! Thankful that you all made the decision to stay in a different location. I plan to travel from Ohio to TN in the next month or so to view a few pieces of property. I will try to reach out to you all to see where you are and hopefully be able to stop by and view your property for inspiration. I appreciate the content that you all publish.
Congrats on your very own campsite. It is beautiful and inviting. The 2 of you get it done!
BO is so adorable😍
so interested, would like to know how much it cost for hooking up to the water, electric and putting in septic. and how far is it from were you are to that cute little town in linden.
Wonderful! So happy for you, so exciting!
Very nice escape for the winter, wouldn't miss a summer in the Great Lakes though.
Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Looking fwd to seeing the completion of this project. 🧐
I see more and more full timers making personal camping spots. There should be a share app, like air b&b for these spots. Just an idea.
Do you think they will still have some property there this coming summer. I am in Florida for the winter at Cole’s fish camp
Nicely done! The only thing missing was Mike driving a flag into the ground with the family crest and proclaiming, “ I claim this land as Camp Wendland!”
Great job as always
Nice spot. You need to cut down more trees, where you park your camper. Wind can blow over trees, also to close for fire danger. Make a plan for long range house location, for clearing lot.
REALLY enjoy experiencing this journey with you all! What a blessing of time and investment. Mike, Jennifer & Bo ~ thank you for sharing this with us!!
Love all your trees! We did the same thing for our RV.
Beautiful piece of property. Another place for you to make some memories. Oh, I felt bad for Boe but I have to admit I laughed out loud.
Hello Mike and Jen. !!! I' wish you a Happy Holiday!!! and beautiful New Year's!!! and thanks' for sarhing your video with us, it's very pleasant! Denis Durocher St-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada :-)
Its Carlos Balli from Texas; I proud of you guys 😎
Fantastic Property! Congratulations! I am excited for you! Glad you are using large gravel followed by smaller gravel for your drive way.
Looks gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along.
What a great property you have! We wish you the best of luck on this beautiful land!
Looks great!!
Great video
Love, love, love your comprehensive video!!
We will be newbies in April 2022. And are looking to own a piece of property to make our full time RV living. Interested in knowing your total investment….
Keep great info coming!!
I'm so glad you guys were safe during those tornadoes. Love how your property is coming along!
We want to take our kitty camping. We just finished remodeling a shuttle bus. I never knew they had monitors like that. Thanks for the giveaway. Can't wait until Spring!
Quick question… the Guru Map app you are using, how does it know the actual map (perimeter)of your lot? How do you input that info?
We just bought land in that same area Lot 19 and we going to do the same thing. We are currently in KS and look to put in two to three pads until we can build a small Cabin. We will be watching to see how everything goes for you as you do this. I am retired Military and look forward to being there in that beautiful area.
Hey Wick.... Send me your contact list. I'm building a spreadsheet of owners to share with each other.
@@RVLifestyle Did you use F&M Engineering to assist in the lay out.
So beautiful! Congratulations! I hope to find a piece of land like that in Arizona! 😊👌🏽💜💜💜
Thanks for the shout-out at the Commodore Hotel & great coverage of the Christmas Parade! 🎄😄 Michael & I have really enjoyed meeting you and watching your videos & social media! 👍🏼😃 great job!
The Commodore Hotel and Linden are huge draws for us. Love the town and especially Friday night music at the Commodore! See you soon!
Congratulations and thank you for the wonderful step by step video. Can't wait to see the next one.
We cant wait to do it!
congratulations on your own rv park💕.. i like the idea of owning it and access to town/ etc.
i’m guessing that someday you will also have shed/ rv garage/ or similar so stay friendly w that excavator❤️
Yes, we have a whole list of things we want to do. We list them all in the accompanying blog post for this video at rvlifestyle.com/private-rv-campsite/
Excited for you both. Best of luck!
Great spot and very good layout … thanks for sharing what a great idea.
It seems like full time RVers are looking for their own property now a days. So many are getting home bases.
Yes. It is getting harder and harder to find places to camp without a reservation c months in advance
@@RVLifestyle well I love what you are doing!! I have a home base and have been here for 6 years in my fifth wheel. Thanks for bringing us along.
Congratulations Guys on your beautiful home base. We are also looking to relocate from TX to Tenn. We will be following along your progress. Merry Christmas 🎄 & Blessings.
doing a great job - HAM - W2TU
Congratulations on your new property, it’s beautiful and has opened our eyes to the possibilities. Merry Christmas to you both. Look forward to 2022 podcasts
Are there mosquitoes in this area?
The rain needed to wash the lime out of the gravel.
FT traveler. W5HFI. When bad wx with tornadoes I look for motels too.
Really enjoy your channel. Your new place is awesome.
C U later!
Beautiful location thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas and and even happier New Year.🎊
You too, Kevin! Thank you.
Great content. I love your project....
Can't wait to continue watching and see the progress.
E will continue documenting each step along the way. Thanks!
great job on the driveway! when are you taking reservations? 😂
Merry Christmas ! Love the property . You should buy a SOLO stove for your fire pit .
Love your RV and videoes! Happy for your beautiful land purchase. Are you planning an in ground storm shelter since I am pretty sure you are in the NEW TORNADO ALLEY up there?
Woo Hoo. Glad to see you got your property livable with the RV. We will be up there next month for some preliminary work on our piece of land to do the same thing? Can you possibly shoot me the names of the people you got with for you land clearing and driveway laying? Thanks...
Mike, two questions on your Ham: 1) What antenna are you using on your RV and how did you install it?, and 2) Are you using DMR at all?
Dual-band quarter-wave VHF/UHF mounted on the rear ladder. No DMR. I do use FUSION.
Did you get a new RV?
The property is great!
Great video! If you don’t mind sharing. What was the cast if making the road and the nine truck loads of gravel with labor.
Thank you for all your valuable information, much needed. How could my wife and I be able to purchase some Land there too?
Have you considered getting another vehicle for doing town runs . That way once you get RV sit up . You know nothing is close in the country .
Yes we have thought about a toad... however the RV we have no can't tow one.
Broke my heart to see all of the trees shredded like that. I couldn't tell, did you use the trees for anything?
Hi Folks!
Hope your Holiday was awesome. I have a question on the Tenn. Lot
I travel with cats, are you concerned about BO getting bite by snakes? I don't know that area in Tenn. But that is a concern of mine.
Thank you for all the videos
Yes, that is a valid concern. There are venomous snakes - Rattlesnakes and Copperheads - in the area. They are most active from April to the end of October.
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
What is the Ham radio that you use in your rig?
Awesome spot.
What’s the ham radio you have?
Yaesu 440
You need more than walking in the woods, so you go to the gym to walk on a treadmill. You guys are funny!
What are the breakdown costs for the project? Been thinking of doing the same.
ABout $7,500
You two are both such an inspiration to all of us. To undertake a dream such as this is a lot of work but you never let hard work stand in your way. I recently parted ways with my S/O and my half ownership in the RV we purchased together; I’m more upset about the latter (the RV) but am on the hunt for a class B or B+ of my own so I can continue to explore.
Hope to meet up with you two someday. Thank you for your continued inspiration.
Hi. What navigation app did you use to walk your property line? Thank you.
The video said Guru Map app, but don’t know how the app knows the perimeter of the land.
You don't wear masks down there?
Most of the states don’t wear masks
Maybe why the virus continues to spread?
