You might change your mind about no trespassing and no hunting signs around hunting season. In Oregon, my husband was working on our roof wearing a bright orange sweatshirt and a bullet just missed him and hit the roof. Drunk hunters can kill you or your animals. If you have no trespassing than legally that counts as a legal warning, from there someone could be arrested for criminal trespass. If everyone was nice and respectful it wouldn't be necessary. But some people are just self-entitled and don't care. Some people may think that your land is open for hunting. A no trespassing warning is usually not considered rude in rural areas, just the owner protecting his property and safety. I've had problems with careless hunters in the past.
Someone shot and killed two of our lab puppies on the back forty of our farm. They took off running toward our back pond with our adult lab. She was shot as well, but made it. Our neighbors denied everything
@@Sunshine-kn6or A teenage neighbor poisoned three of our beloved doggies. It was horrible, poisoned with rat poison. By the time we could get them to the vet 40 miles away it was too late. There were no consequences for the boy, even by his parents. We were devastated.
@@petunialuna4801, What a nightmare! I am SO sorry this happened to your dogs/family. That boy sounds like a textbook case...he will escalate from torturing/killing animals to harming humans-and sickeningly, they also escalate to sexual abuse. Hope y'all have installed good camera's around your property. It's easy to research what I've said by researching serial killers and things they did in their childhood/youth. PS- His parents will regret they didn't do something. He needs help. ASAP!
I would definitely suggest getting a gps tracker for Kamp as it might not be the only time he goes exploring on his own with so much space to see. Our cattle dog Odin had a high prey drive and had gotten out of our yard once before, but he stayed nearby. The 2nd time a few years later he did not return even with us searching for him and it was pretty devastating. We think it was a coyote that drove him and off and someone picked him up. I am really super happy that you guys found him :)
Oh I know that horrible drop in your stomach when your dog gets away from you and you can't find them, heart goes out to you two and so glad you found him 🥰
I'd be willing to bet he didn't cross on purpose. He probably lost his footing and the current took him across. He looked as scared as you guys. Glad to see you found him
Oooh! A storage container that Elsa can paint to totally blend into the surroundings, almost camouflaged with painted rocks, whatever species of bushes & trees are there, and lotsa sand! It could be beautiful!
Compost guy here. Get a machete and piece of plywood. Chop your scraps down into smaller pieces to increase surface area and your composting will progress much faster with little effort. Kamp, Kamp, Kamp. Always trouble but always worth it.
@@fififirestone3787 this is literally the first comment that pops up as you click the video to watch it. Also, clearly you aren’t fun at parties. This was meant as a joke.
My sister and her husband bought remote acreage and put up a wooden shed. Someone/people broke into it and stole all their tools and supplies. They upgraded to a storage container and now feel more secure. They felt the same way that a container was ugly, but after having to account for insurance and list all the losses, and submitting reciepts, they think it is beautiful! My husband tells a story about his grandfather using his own urine and waste for his garden compost--family legend now--and what delicious and abundant produce was grown. What an awesome adventure you are on!
I’ve never heard of it. If I saw something painted purple I wouldn’t know that it meant not to trespass, So I’d just continue with my trespassing totally unaware. Just put up a sign saying private property. These sort of codes only work if everyone knows what it means.
We bought five acres in central Oregon in the 70s, former BLM land, and started with land. It was the best years of my life. We started with a 20'X20' cabin with a loft and lived in it before adding on for 7 years. We had an outhouse, an outdoor shower, and built on a 20'X20' porch on the front of the cabin to use as our woodshop. By the time we had our 3rd baby it was time to add on. Those were the happiest years of my life. And paying as we built made it really our home.
The "good" thing about Camp's adventure is that, I've fostered and owned many dozens of dogs and only 3 dogs out of dozens was unaffected by losing me temporarily. Once a dog "loses" you they tend to be more aware of keeping you in sight after that. I reinforce that behavior by watching them when they're off lead, and if they aren't paying attention I'll duck down behind a bush where I can see them but they don't see me, then I wait. I LOVE seeing them stop, look around, get concerned, and trying to find me, then I reward them tremendously with hugs, pets, and "good dog" love. Make the disappearing moments brief, (I know you guys would never traumatize him). Only 2 dogs have ever looked briefly for me, didn't care that I disappeared, and went about their business over the years. Those two dogs took a LOT of high value treats to make them care about whether I was in their sight or not! 🤣
@@sheilabishop5873 Always assess your dog off leash in a fenced area. I only let me dogs off lead after I have worked with them under controlled circumstances and know their response patterns extremely well. Even after I know them extremely well when my dog is off lead I am very vigilant about watching the environment and keeping my dog close to me.
I do that all the time with my dogs. Not to train them or anything just a game we play. Like Marco, Polo. If their having trouble finding me I always make a noise. They always look so happy when they do find me. Sometimes I just lay on the ground and they come bounding over. Sniffing at my face.
Mine got out of the yard yesterday and thankfully I turned going into our carport and shes like "hi mommmmmmmz" . I was like nice of her to stick around , thank you Jesus! She's a jack Russell and they love to run and hunt so I got lucky!
My grandfather was a whisperer. The things he did with animals could have been a Discovery Documentary. I asked him once, "Pap-pa, how do you get a dog to do those things?" He said, "FIRST... you have to be smarter than the dog." Kamp wants to explore his new digs but he knows where home is. HUNGER is a wonderful motivator to return to where you get fed. Rattlesnakes shouldn't be a worry. Dogs know to avoid them. Coyotes, on the other hand, will pack attack a dog so they should be a larger concern but unless you are hearing a pack howl every evening then I doubt they're close. Pap-pa took me on my very first hunting trip. We went squirrel hunting. He borrowed some guy's dog and we went over the night before our trip to feed him. I laughed. I said, "Pap-pa, that dog won't hunt." Pap-pa said, "That's what dogs do, son." The next morning, we gathered the dog and took off to the woods. Pap-pa opened the door to the turtle-hull and the dog hopped out. Pap-pa said, "Sit." The dog sat. Pap-pa looked at me and said, "If the squirrels are moving, and they are, he will have one treed before you get your shotgun out of the backseat. I laughed and laughed. Pap-pa knelt down, placed his hand on the dog's head, and whispered, "Hurry Mother." Off the dog went. I threw open the rear door and before I laid my hand on the shotgun the dog went to bawling. Pap-pa hollered, "Grab your gun, the squirrels are moving." We killed our limit, 16 squirrels (8 each) before noon, and returned to the car but the dog was nowhere to be seen. I asked, "What about the dog?" Pap-pa said, "He ain't done hunting. We'll pick him up later." Then he tossed his hat on the ground. We went home and cleaned the squirrels. Mam-ma cooked a mean squirrel. She loved them. At 5:00 that evening we drove back to the bottoms and there was the dog, resting his head on Pap-pa's hat. Kamp is an Asset. Trust him. Use him. $8.00 a bag Organic Top Soil from Walmart will do you better than a $30 bag of Happy Frog. j/s Good Vid!
I’m in step down after ICU watching this. I am a congenital heart defect patient that needed to have my heart valve and conduit replaced. You all are so healing to me. I enjoy watching your adventures a lot!! We are all unique in our own way. You three enjoy life experience in a special way most of us don’t Just a side note...what made the surgery difficult is the fact that all my organs, etc are mirror image to ‘normal’ Human anatomy. Everything on the inside. Yes...my heart is on the right😄 Unique in my own way😉♥️♥️♥️ Sending love to you all . You are dear and near to my heart....
Kamp: I am an independent doggo who don‘t need no Hooman Also Kamp: mom… dad… halp. In all seriousness, it happens. You do what you can, but you obviously can‘t keep him on a leash 24/7. Glad nothing bad happened.
The UA-cam channel “Life Uncontained” made a home out of 2 shipping containers. My point being is they painted them and they look real nice. Elsa’s artistic talent could probably make it look very cool.
Al on Lumnah Acres did a cabin out of a shipping container on the 500 acres they bought in NH. He shows you from day one how to frame it in, wire, cut out holes for the windows and doors. It's back around the end of last year I believe. Check them out for ideas also...
Who would have thought that watching someone else live their day-to-day life would be so informative, entertaining, calming, funny and satisfying. Including the little drama of losing Kamp rounded out the chapter. Let's see what the next turn of the page will bring.
Kamp’s little face said it all, bless his heart. He was lost and afraid. Barron’s interactions with Kamp are funny and endearing. Keep up the great videos!
For those with negativity about Kamp being off leash, this is on THEIR property. If Elsa and Barron wish to have Kamp off leash, legally they can. As someone who has had their dog take off, (we have a husky who liked to run, she got out the front door on accident.) I understand the panic and sheer terror you guys had to have felt. Kamp is a good boy. Just curious lol
When we have him ON leash in videos we get criticism too so we don’t pay much mind to it all. I try to remember that everyone just wants what they think is best for our sweet guy and that means so much to us that he’s so widely loved!🤍
Yes, they can leave Kamp off leash but the terrain is relatively new to him and his instinct to explore HIS property might put him into some questionable and scary situations. I don’t think anyone means to be negative. They just love Kamp and his cuteness and care about him.
As someone who has worked with dogs for 20 years…I’ve learned people question anything someone chooses to do or not do with their dog. It’s a no win situation. As long as they aren’t neglecting or abusing their dog, I feel like people need to mind their business. (I don’t have children but I imagine parents feel/do the same with children.)
Even my Italian Greyhound who is trained for all obedience and will recall most of the time but even on our land sometimes a Chaser is a Chaser.. Breed First, then Dog, then my companion. I think some Bunnies flip her off and thaats All folks..
“Compost enthusiasts please don’t come for me”. Girl, there is no wrong way to compost. You are creating a place for organic material to decompose, so you got this! The best way to do it is to learn as you go. Great job! I sure am looking forward to watching it progress over time! Also peeing on your compost is awesome!!!
So true, I compost in a giant pile. Forget to water it, hardly ever turn it, probably add too much lawn clippings, but it all works out in the end, just a bit slower to get it done.
Get a Pet Locator for his collar, Amazon Prime Day has a several to chose from. He looked very scared didnt he, a hint but you might check him for snake bites and spray him with essential oils to help repel the flying insects.
I second this. We have the eureka products Marco Polo system for our cats and the range is pretty good. I think up to a mile in open areas. But they do make larger sizes with greater capacity for bigger dogs that make work well for you. It’s kinda pricey, but it’s one of the only systems we’ve found that doesn’t require a membership/subscription each month.
I don't think they use a collar on Kamp. We don't use one on our dog either (unless she's on a leashed walk). Their "yard" is just WAY bigger than ours! LOL!
@@livelongandprospermary8796 I was also thinking the same. Pet finder and Fi have limited ranges. From what I know, garmin makes tracking collars with the largest range, a lot of hunters use them with their hunting dogs.
I love the last shed. It has a metal roof and if it's okay in your area. You can add rain barrels with gutters to water plants. When it rains. Kamp...stay close buddy...
In our camp state, we actually record the “Posted” signs every year at our town hall. It just makes it documented within the county. We post every thirty feet around the perimeter.
I’m not a building official in your area. But generally if the house is on a trailer (wheels) even if it never moves it can be smaller then the minimum of 750sq feet. So if you put that shed on wheels you can get around the rules.
In my area that’s the rule. We had to put our chicken coop on wheels to get around all that building permit junk, mostly because we already have two permanent sheds and the town only allows a certain amount of our buildings
I was about to cry as you both yelled for Kamp. I’m not lying as I was pretty scared. He would never not come unless it was serious. I still think something really tried to hurt him. I’m so glad hrs home. 🥰
What is on the agenda for building projects. Maybe a couple cabins with connecting road paths?? Look for water, electricity and sewer foundations. Kamp is out scouting the land!! Let’s get busy!! Love ya, Barb
I liked when you used a solar shower. It would save propane and electricity when you could let the sun heat up the water and use gravity to use it. Love you guys. You're living the life I wanted but was afraid to do.
Man the atmosphere of these kinds of videos is so relatable. Hard work, goofs, and constantly thinking through what's next for the land. Ya'll are settling in so well and I'm super stoked to see what this place looks like in just a few years!
Don't know how old Scamp is. I had Rat Terrier mix about 15 years old. Start wondering off and finding her standing in a ditch in water shivering. Used to let her out freely and return like clock work. One night came home in thunder storm. She crawled under the porch. Left her alone knowing it was dry and often lay there. Next morning couldn't find her. Several days later found her dead beside the road. Cut to the chase. She had dementia.
Oh my gosh so glad you found him safe. My girl freezes in scary moments as well. Your new property is such a blessing and a great new beginning. I am truly happy for you.
Elsa, I'm getting a kick out of the emphasis you edit on to your claps! It makes me laugh and I also see that is how you encourage yourself! love it. Keep it up!
I felt your panic in my HEART!!! Been there!!! Years ago my miniature pinscher slipped through a tiny space in my then boyfriend's (now husband's) fenced yard that backed up to a wooded area in Alabama. I called and searched the neighborhood for about an hour. Finally I went back to the house and she was on his porch waiting to go inside. Talk about agonizing!!!
Suggestion: do not use MDF! Use plywood or backer insulation board behind cement board (Hardy board) for siding. Hardy board does not rot, it's not wood). With the snow loads you probably get there, you need it framed on 16" centers with a good pitch on the roof. You can build it much cheaper than buying it. There are shed plans available on line. Be sure to use plywood on the floor, NOT MDF. MDF cones apart after it gets wet a few times, it's interior glue. If you get or download a shed plan then it makes it easy to submit it for any codes/ permits. You should be able to build it on cement blocks, you shouldn't need a foundation for a shed. Building a shed is good self-training for building your house!
If you guys are building a homestead, and documenting it on youtube, I'm in. Your channel just got even more interesting. I'm too old to do what you're doing, so I'll have to live vicariously through you.
You have both inspired me so much to practice more mindfulness techniques and to use them daily. I have followed you guys for a while now and want to truly thank you for making me feel more peaceful. I lost my dog today near a train track for one of the longest 4 minutes of my life. So glad you found the little squish! So much love and gratitude to you all from Scotland
Kale can get large if given the space, sun, and sufficient water. Look up square foot garden spacing. The thing about overcrowding plants is that the main sign of overcrowding is that the plants stay small. Which is not a problem if you want them to stay small, say if you like baby greens and harvest often (like multiple times a week), but if you want really big plants, they need space from the get go. Otherwise they stay small and you think, "hey these plants are still small, I'll up-pot them when they start to get bigger." It's the same principles as bonsai.
Alex Reith Good points! My bible for gardening is Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew--great for conserving water, and growing food more efficiently. I found an old painted pot in our garage when we first moved into our new home. I planted peppermint in it. The runners from the peppermint actually split the pot into pieces--nature at its finest!
Thank you for the feedback! We know they’ll be totally too crowded in there soon, but we weren’t sure if they’d survive at all so we started with just a few containers! I appreciate your wisdom so much!
I think Mel has some great ideas, and that works for a lot of people. My experience with it was that it was really resource intensive since he forbids using native soil and peat is a non-renewable resource. Peat bog harvesting is kinda like strip mining in a way. A better planting mix is actually straight compost and sand, no perlite or vermiculite which he seems to think are interchangeable, but actually serve very different functions. Also I think that Mel downplays the importance of mulch as a way to retain soil moisture. From the looks of it, you're in a dry climate and mulch really protects the soil from drying out too quickly and can help keep the soil cooler. I also found that some of the square foot garden spacing was really too close for things like large tomatoes that really take over a bed even if you're diligent about pruning and staking. I really like Charles Dowding's no dig methods, but again, it's important to remember that his climate is generally cool and damp relative to many parts of the US. Even here in New England it gets much hotter. So my best advice is to look for someone who is either regionally local to you or who lives in a really similar climate and see what they're doing. Wood chips are like great sponges. Untreated wood chips break down into rich loamy soil within just a few years, though it might make sense to use something else that is more abundant in your area. Hay, straw, coffee hulls, basically anything that's biological materials, and isn't too far from neutral pH.
My family had a storage container for … well … storage. Once it was moved into place, we painted it a “blendy” color and nobody ever had any concerns. And that was in a neighborhood with lots of neighbors. You could do that on your property quite easily and, I agree, they are so much more secure. SO VERY GLAD CAMP WAS FOUND!! I’ve been in that situation and it is terrifying!!
Most likely people have been recreating on your land for a long time before you purchase the land. You need to make or have a sign made that states posted private property no entrance no hunting without permission. It may sound harsh but the reality is for safety and liability you need to let people know. 👊👍😎
It’s no problem in Colorado Arizona and all the other western states you post it and then if people are caught doing something illegal on your property the sheriff will arrest them. If somebody hurts them selves on your property and you did not give them permission they cannot sue you if it’s posted. 👊👍😎
This happened to us as well, and searched all night in the cold rain and didn't find him until next afternoon. I feel the pain, lol! Glad you found lil skamp!
Your skills just amaze me and how unobtrusive you are to your environment. Appreciating nature and the simplicity and joys that don’t go amiss . When I get fed up with nothing but phony , superficial people that are all over the media. I watch your channel because it is so refreshing! Best to all three of the scamp tribe!
Life below zero is awesome, have you guys watched homestead rescue?! I love all the different things they do to make particular homesteads work no matter where they are.. Especially the gardens they come up with!
Poor little guy. I bet he fell in at a spot that was alittle deeper and he got washed to where you found him. So glad you found him and he wasnt scared and stuck there for hours or days. Good job mom & dad on quickly find the boy.
The title scared me and we put down our dinner to watch it. Kamp being a Shiba Inu just like our Basenji they have a mind of their own. I am so happy you found him and he looked so happy as well. Glad Barron could be there to uber him out of there. Love the voice over for Kamp.
Omg Kamp. The look on his eyes tells us everything - I’m sorry and I’m scared. I know you may not like this but a tracker collar might help. Especially if likes to chase wild animals. Will marigolds help your mosquitoes and flies situation. Slowly but surely it will be better. Beautiful land.
When plants come in a pot you can dig a hole. Stick the potted plant still in the pot in the hole. Pack it a little and remove it. Now remove the pot from the plant you want to add. this will give the roots lots of room to grow and it’s the perfect fit every time
Shibas are such naughty runners. We had one who was an expert escape artist and he gave us multiple strokes/heart attacks with his shenanigans. Kamp is such a good boy, though. I think he was just a little "distracted" with his new property! 😄
A little tip I learned a long time ago, DO NOT dump your bagged soil into a plastic container. Take the new bag of soil and simply lean it against something, a pile of rocks, fence, anything. Once you do that, cut the top off the bag, take a knife and poke a couple of holes in the bottom for drainage, then just simply plant your garden plants, (tomatoes, peppers, etc.), into the soil on the open end of the bag. If you want to plant bush type of green beans (Romano Bush) or vining plants such as cukes, simply lay the bag of soil down, cut a slice length wise and plant you seeds. I have been growing tomatoe plants in the same bags for 6 years now. About every 3 to 4 years, I have to buy a couple of bags of dirt to replenish the soil and I ad some compost to them as well. One of the best plants to grow in a hot and dry environment is "Okra". Okra is amazing and grows very easy in hot environments. Kale grows great this way also, but it grows better in cooler environments, so if you live in a dry arrid place, grow kale in the very early Spying and Late Summer. Where I live, I plant a "bumper" crop of the Romano green beans in late August and have fresh green beans for Thanksgiving. All grown in bags!!!! Growing in bags = no weeds!!!!
Omg my heart sank....my cat I thought got out my front door one time omg found her in an organizer hid in my closet! Lol Kamp just had a Swimming lesson Shower looks nice cool ring Barron! Elsa you rock girl 😎
i have a garmin astro for my dog and i love it. they make a mini version for your little guy. its a gps collar that works completely off grid, no cell service needed and it is NOT a shock collar. im so happy yall found him. i cried. iv been following along for a little bit and i think all of you are so amazing and i wish you all nothing but the best.
Little House Off Grid just posted why you should post "No Trespassing." There is a legal explanation you might want to watch him explain. Also, he built a tiny house that is small enough to avoid a permit, etc. Missouri laws. Check it out.
Kamps new voice is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard. 10/10. Glad he is safe. You can’t stop the adventures, mom. Also I am envious of your little set up. I often look into those little sheds for tiny living. Making a tiny little “village”. A school shed, kitchen shed, shower shed, communal living shed, indoor rec shed, and then individual bedroom sheds. Garden, compost, gigantic fire pit. A cow, a few chickens, maybe a cute little pet goat! Y’all are living the dream and I’m so happy to see it!
I think if my wife and I had been 20 years younger we might be living in a scamp trailer. But now with 4 adult kids your age and living in a suburb, it’s fun to watch you living the dream. 🙂 Yes, we’re happy but often dreamed of nomad living.
Heat rises so the taller the better. big enough to park car inside to work on or scamp inside during hail storm pull through with doors on both ends. shipping container would be great if you could get your materials delivered inside an have it left on property that would be ideal.
When you were shopping for posting signs, I also saw signs that said “Gentlemen” and “Ladies.” So, to soften the harshness of no trespassing, perhaps preface that sign with the “ladies” and “gentlemen” signs. You could close with “thank you” or “warmest regards” and/or “have a nice day” and smiley face too! Haha.
Shiba’s gonna Shiba. Glad you found him. Our Shiba is 16 years old and can’t hear anymore, so we are extra careful about making sure he doesn’t sneak off. He still has the desire to explore, wander off and chase things. Your channel is quickly going from nomad life to homestead life, which is a very cool transition to watch. Enjoy!
he looked so sad and defenseless sitting there in the water 😭 so glad you guys found him ❤️
I came straight to the comments to see if he was found.
😭😭💓
She was so worried she couldn't put the camera down 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this. I'm OK.

that’s what I was thinking
Yep, I agree. He looked so scared and embarrassed and sad. Poor woofer.
Same. I was wondering if he was trying to fight the current too and got tired out through it all.

FYI: purple paint law. Purple paint means no trespassing. Paint post and trees around your property purple. You might want to learn more about it.
thats a Texas thing
I've never heard of that, I wonder how many people have, not sure it would work.
It in NC as well.
I’ve never heard of it. If I saw something painted purple I wouldn’t know that it meant not to trespass, So I’d just continue with my trespassing totally unaware. Just put up a sign saying private property. These sort of codes only work if everyone knows what it means.
in TX, purple means no trespassing/hunting on the property
We bought five acres in central Oregon in the 70s, former BLM land, and started with land. It was the best years of my life. We started with a 20'X20' cabin with a loft and lived in it before adding on for 7 years. We had an outhouse, an outdoor shower, and built on a 20'X20' porch on the front of the cabin to use as our woodshop. By the time we had our 3rd baby it was time to add on. Those were the happiest years of my life. And paying as we built made it really our home.
then what happened
@@judithwilber2540 Time. Life moves on.
The "good" thing about Camp's adventure is that, I've fostered and owned many dozens of dogs and only 3 dogs out of dozens was unaffected by losing me temporarily. Once a dog "loses" you they tend to be more aware of keeping you in sight after that. I reinforce that behavior by watching them when they're off lead, and if they aren't paying attention I'll duck down behind a bush where I can see them but they don't see me, then I wait. I LOVE seeing them stop, look around, get concerned, and trying to find me, then I reward them tremendously with hugs, pets, and "good dog" love. Make the disappearing moments brief, (I know you guys would never traumatize him). Only 2 dogs have ever looked briefly for me, didn't care that I disappeared, and went about their business over the years. Those two dogs took a LOT of high value treats to make them care about whether I was in their sight or not! 🤣
that is good to know. I'm dying to let mine run off leash but so afraid he'll get into trouble or run out into the road...I'll try in a fenced area...
@@sheilabishop5873 Always assess your dog off leash in a fenced area. I only let me dogs off lead after I have worked with them under controlled circumstances and know their response patterns extremely well. Even after I know them extremely well when my dog is off lead I am very vigilant about watching the environment and keeping my dog close to me.
I do that all the time with my dogs. Not to train them or anything just a game we play. Like Marco, Polo. If their having trouble finding me I always make a noise. They always look so happy when they do find me.
Sometimes I just lay on the ground and they come bounding over. Sniffing at my face.
@@BreezeMHill you are training them, you just don't know it. 🙂. And it's the BEST way to train, fun = positive reinforcement!
Mine got out of the yard yesterday and thankfully I turned going into our carport and shes like "hi mommmmmmmz" . I was like nice of her to stick around , thank you Jesus! She's a jack Russell and they love to run and hunt so I got lucky!
Kamp’s voiceover is too funny! Love it! I know Barron must hear this thousands of times, but his eye color is so beautiful.
Glad to hear Kamp's voice again.
Missed hearing his voice.
BAWW HE HAD A TUCKED TAIL HE WAS SCARED
Kamp should have his own show.
The voice over was awesome
@@thewiremanbig Kamp is gonna become a celebrity. This is a prediction.
My grandfather was a whisperer. The things he did with animals could have been a Discovery Documentary. I asked him once, "Pap-pa, how do you get a dog to do those things?" He said, "FIRST... you have to be smarter than the dog." Kamp wants to explore his new digs but he knows where home is. HUNGER is a wonderful motivator to return to where you get fed. Rattlesnakes shouldn't be a worry. Dogs know to avoid them. Coyotes, on the other hand, will pack attack a dog so they should be a larger concern but unless you are hearing a pack howl every evening then I doubt they're close.
Pap-pa took me on my very first hunting trip. We went squirrel hunting. He borrowed some guy's dog and we went over the night before our trip to feed him. I laughed. I said, "Pap-pa, that dog won't hunt." Pap-pa said, "That's what dogs do, son."
The next morning, we gathered the dog and took off to the woods.
Pap-pa opened the door to the turtle-hull and the dog hopped out.
Pap-pa said, "Sit." The dog sat.
Pap-pa looked at me and said, "If the squirrels are moving, and they are, he will have one treed before you get your shotgun out of the backseat. I laughed and laughed.
Pap-pa knelt down, placed his hand on the dog's head, and whispered, "Hurry Mother."
Off the dog went. I threw open the rear door and before I laid my hand on the shotgun the dog went to bawling.
Pap-pa hollered, "Grab your gun, the squirrels are moving."
We killed our limit, 16 squirrels (8 each) before noon, and returned to the car but the dog was nowhere to be seen.
I asked, "What about the dog?"
Pap-pa said, "He ain't done hunting. We'll pick him up later." Then he tossed his hat on the ground.
We went home and cleaned the squirrels. Mam-ma cooked a mean squirrel. She loved them.
At 5:00 that evening we drove back to the bottoms and there was the dog, resting his head on Pap-pa's hat.
Kamp is an Asset. Trust him. Use him.
$8.00 a bag Organic Top Soil from Walmart will do you better than a $30 bag of Happy Frog. j/s
Good Vid!
Poor Camp....He looked so scared too. Poor guy, but so happy you found him and he was okay.
I’m in step down after ICU watching this. I am a congenital heart defect patient that needed to have my heart valve and conduit replaced. You all are so healing to me. I enjoy watching your adventures a lot!! We are all unique in our own way. You three enjoy life experience in a special way most of us don’t
Just a side note...what made the surgery difficult is the fact that all my organs, etc are mirror image to ‘normal’ Human anatomy. Everything on the inside. Yes...my heart is on the right😄 Unique in my own way😉♥️♥️♥️
Sending love to you all . You are dear and near to my heart....
my boss at work was telling me that his heart was also on the right....
Kamp: I am an independent doggo who don‘t need no Hooman
Also Kamp: mom… dad… halp.
In all seriousness, it happens. You do what you can, but you obviously can‘t keep him on a leash 24/7. Glad nothing bad happened.
My heart sank when I first saw your video. I'm so glad you were able to get him back home.
Mine too
Kamp not walking and getting carried by Barron = smart dog!!! Elsa talking to her plants is adorable!
I love Kamp’s voiceover. He should have his own channel.
Yes love it 🥰🤣
The UA-cam channel “Life Uncontained” made a home out of 2 shipping containers. My point being is they painted them and they look real nice. Elsa’s artistic talent could probably make it look very cool.
Al on Lumnah Acres did a cabin out of a shipping container on the 500 acres they bought in NH. He shows you from day one how to frame it in, wire, cut out holes for the windows and doors. It's back around the end of last year I believe. Check them out for ideas also...
And the snakes are obsessed with hanging out near their containers.
I'm subscribed to them too. Elsa and Barron could definitely do well with a Container for sure! x
The idea of a container is great, but they will need to insulate it. The heat will make the inside an inferno.
@@seriouslyjoking2 so very true!
Who would have thought that watching someone else live their day-to-day life would be so informative, entertaining, calming, funny and satisfying. Including the little drama of losing Kamp rounded out the chapter. Let's see what the next turn of the page will bring.
Thanks for always being so supportive and awesome!!
I wish it was twice a week.
@@kskogman125 me too
Kamp’s little face said it all, bless his heart. He was lost and afraid. Barron’s interactions with Kamp are funny and endearing. Keep up the great videos!
Kamp running that hasn’t happened before I am so glad you found him. A pet is a member of the family. Keep your eyes and ears open.
For those with negativity about Kamp being off leash, this is on THEIR property. If Elsa and Barron wish to have Kamp off leash, legally they can. As someone who has had their dog take off, (we have a husky who liked to run, she got out the front door on accident.) I understand the panic and sheer terror you guys had to have felt. Kamp is a good boy. Just curious lol
When we have him ON leash in videos we get criticism too so we don’t pay much mind to it all. I try to remember that everyone just wants what they think is best for our sweet guy and that means so much to us that he’s so widely loved!🤍
Yes, they can leave Kamp off leash but the terrain is relatively new to him and his instinct to explore HIS property might put him into some questionable and scary situations. I don’t think anyone means to be negative. They just love Kamp and his cuteness and care about him.
As someone who has worked with dogs for 20 years…I’ve learned people question anything someone chooses to do or not do with their dog. It’s a no win situation. As long as they aren’t neglecting or abusing their dog, I feel like people need to mind their business. (I don’t have children but I imagine parents feel/do the same with children.)
@@ElsaRhae you have the best outlook on everything it's so admirable
Even my Italian Greyhound who is trained for all obedience and will recall most of the time but even on our land sometimes a Chaser is a Chaser.. Breed First, then Dog, then my companion. I think some Bunnies flip her off and thaats All folks..
“Compost enthusiasts please don’t come for me”. Girl, there is no wrong way to compost. You are creating a place for organic material to decompose, so you got this! The best way to do it is to learn as you go. Great job! I sure am looking forward to watching it progress over time! Also peeing on your compost is awesome!!!
So true, I compost in a giant pile. Forget to water it, hardly ever turn it, probably add too much lawn clippings, but it all works out in the end, just a bit slower to get it done.
That bin will get heavy as it fills. We've had that same one for years. I JUST thought that elevating it might help...
Elsa, I have felt that very same panic when our dogs go missing...exactly! So so so glad you found him. Whew!
That horrible feeling when your dog is lost:(. Happy ending.
Get a Pet Locator for his collar, Amazon Prime Day has a several to chose from. He looked very scared didnt he, a hint but you might check him for snake bites and spray him with essential oils to help repel the flying insects.
I second this. We have the eureka products Marco Polo system for our cats and the range is pretty good. I think up to a mile in open areas. But they do make larger sizes with greater capacity for bigger dogs that make work well for you. It’s kinda pricey, but it’s one of the only systems we’ve found that doesn’t require a membership/subscription each month.
I don't think they use a collar on Kamp. We don't use one on our dog either (unless she's on a leashed walk). Their "yard" is just WAY bigger than ours! LOL!
Might have been chased into that stream.
I think you can attach a GPS to his collar. Think it’s called a Pet Finder. For when he’s off leash.
Fi Collar is the best!
What’s the range on those tile gps locator things? I wonder if those would work also
@@livelongandprospermary8796 I was also thinking the same. Pet finder and Fi have limited ranges. From what I know, garmin makes tracking collars with the largest range, a lot of hunters use them with their hunting dogs.
He didn't have a collar on.
@@suzanneng5326 Fi is the first tracking collar to use the LTE-M cellular network to communicate GPS information - so the range is great!
I love the last shed. It has a metal roof and if it's okay in your area. You can add rain barrels with gutters to water plants. When it rains. Kamp...stay close buddy...
I bet it feels so great to have a place where you don't have to move every 14 days, and have some plants! That happy frog soil is the best
In our camp state, we actually record the “Posted” signs every year at our town hall. It just makes it documented within the county. We post every thirty feet around the perimeter.
I’m not a building official in your area. But generally if the house is on a trailer (wheels) even if it never moves it can be smaller then the minimum of 750sq feet. So if you put that shed on wheels you can get around the rules.
That's a real nice tie bit !
In my area that’s the rule. We had to put our chicken coop on wheels to get around all that building permit junk, mostly because we already have two permanent sheds and the town only allows a certain amount of our buildings
I was about to cry as you both yelled for Kamp. I’m not lying as I was pretty scared. He would never not come unless it was serious. I still think something really tried to hurt him.
I’m so glad hrs home. 🥰
What is on the agenda for building projects. Maybe a couple cabins with connecting road paths?? Look for water, electricity and sewer foundations. Kamp is out scouting the land!! Let’s get busy!! Love ya, Barb
Kamp chose thug life today 🤣
Baron Section of facts with his laptop 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kamps voice over. So funny. Who did the voice?
@@adventurechef1981 baron totally did
I liked when you used a solar shower. It would save propane and electricity when you could let the sun heat up the water and use gravity to use it. Love you guys. You're living the life I wanted but was afraid to do.
Man the atmosphere of these kinds of videos is so relatable. Hard work, goofs, and constantly thinking through what's next for the land. Ya'll are settling in so well and I'm super stoked to see what this place looks like in just a few years!
Don't know how old Scamp is.
I had Rat Terrier mix about 15 years old.
Start wondering off and finding her standing in a ditch in water shivering.
Used to let her out freely and return like clock work.
One night came home in thunder storm.
She crawled under the porch.
Left her alone knowing it was dry and often lay there.
Next morning couldn't find her.
Several days later found her dead beside the road.
Cut to the chase. She had dementia.
My rattie developed dementia as well. 💔 She lived to be 17. RIP.
Lucky that my 20-year-old Pom never suffered from it
My rattie turned 16 in March. Definitely has dementia. Hard to judge quality of life. What a joy she has been to us...I hate it.
Oh my gosh so glad you found him safe. My girl freezes in scary moments as well. Your new property is such a blessing and a great new beginning. I am truly happy for you.
Elsa, I'm getting a kick out of the emphasis you edit on to your claps! It makes me laugh and I also see that is how you encourage yourself! love it. Keep it up!
I felt your panic in my HEART!!! Been there!!! Years ago my miniature pinscher slipped through a tiny space in my then boyfriend's (now husband's) fenced yard that backed up to a wooded area in Alabama. I called and searched the neighborhood for about an hour. Finally I went back to the house and she was on his porch waiting to go inside. Talk about agonizing!!!
Spontaneous tears when you found your little guy so scared in the water. So thankful he's ok
Suggestion: do not use MDF! Use plywood or backer insulation board behind cement board (Hardy board) for siding. Hardy board does not rot, it's not wood). With the snow loads you probably get there, you need it framed on 16" centers with a good pitch on the roof. You can build it much cheaper than buying it. There are shed plans available on line. Be sure to use plywood on the floor, NOT MDF. MDF cones apart after it gets wet a few times, it's interior glue. If you get or download a shed plan then it makes it easy to submit it for any codes/ permits. You should be able to build it on cement blocks, you shouldn't need a foundation for a shed. Building a shed is good self-training for building your house!
Yes ! Listen to Petunia !
If you guys are building a homestead, and documenting it on youtube, I'm in. Your channel just got even more interesting. I'm too old to do what you're doing, so I'll have to live vicariously through you.
You have both inspired me so much to practice more mindfulness techniques and to use them daily. I have followed you guys for a while now and want to truly thank you for making me feel more peaceful.
I lost my dog today near a train track for one of the longest 4 minutes of my life. So glad you found the little squish!
So much love and gratitude to you all from Scotland
And that fast flies forgotten. Thank goodness you found him.
Kale can get large if given the space, sun, and sufficient water. Look up square foot garden spacing. The thing about overcrowding plants is that the main sign of overcrowding is that the plants stay small. Which is not a problem if you want them to stay small, say if you like baby greens and harvest often (like multiple times a week), but if you want really big plants, they need space from the get go. Otherwise they stay small and you think, "hey these plants are still small, I'll up-pot them when they start to get bigger." It's the same principles as bonsai.
Alex Reith Good points! My bible for gardening is Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew--great for conserving water, and growing food more efficiently. I found an old painted pot in our garage when we first moved into our new home. I planted peppermint in it. The runners from the peppermint actually split the pot into pieces--nature at its finest!
Thank you for the feedback! We know they’ll be totally too crowded in there soon, but we weren’t sure if they’d survive at all so we started with just a few containers! I appreciate your wisdom so much!
I think Mel has some great ideas, and that works for a lot of people. My experience with it was that it was really resource intensive since he forbids using native soil and peat is a non-renewable resource. Peat bog harvesting is kinda like strip mining in a way. A better planting mix is actually straight compost and sand, no perlite or vermiculite which he seems to think are interchangeable, but actually serve very different functions. Also I think that Mel downplays the importance of mulch as a way to retain soil moisture. From the looks of it, you're in a dry climate and mulch really protects the soil from drying out too quickly and can help keep the soil cooler. I also found that some of the square foot garden spacing was really too close for things like large tomatoes that really take over a bed even if you're diligent about pruning and staking.
I really like Charles Dowding's no dig methods, but again, it's important to remember that his climate is generally cool and damp relative to many parts of the US. Even here in New England it gets much hotter. So my best advice is to look for someone who is either regionally local to you or who lives in a really similar climate and see what they're doing.
Wood chips are like great sponges. Untreated wood chips break down into rich loamy soil within just a few years, though it might make sense to use something else that is more abundant in your area. Hay, straw, coffee hulls, basically anything that's biological materials, and isn't too far from neutral pH.
@@ElsaRhae Oh, absolutely! Understanding the lay of your land, and how it can WORK for YOU is the name of the game!! 👏👍😎
My family had a storage container for … well … storage. Once it was moved into place, we painted it a “blendy” color and nobody ever had any concerns. And that was in a neighborhood with lots of neighbors. You could do that on your property quite easily and, I agree, they are so much more secure. SO VERY GLAD CAMP WAS FOUND!! I’ve been in that situation and it is terrifying!!
losing your dog is the worst feeling! So scary and such relief when you find them! He says “I was so scared mom and dad”
Most likely people have been recreating on your land for a long time before you purchase the land. You need to make or have a sign made that states posted private property no entrance no hunting without permission. It may sound harsh but the reality is for safety and liability you need to let people know. 👊👍😎
It’s no problem in Colorado Arizona and all the other western states you post it and then if people are caught doing something illegal on your property the sheriff will arrest them. If somebody hurts them selves on your property and you did not give them permission they cannot sue you if it’s posted. 👊👍😎
@@marketshare5273 ⬆️ This!
This happened to us as well, and searched all night in the cold rain and didn't find him until next afternoon. I feel the pain, lol! Glad you found lil skamp!
Oh noooo :(
Your skills just amaze me and how unobtrusive you are to your environment. Appreciating nature and the simplicity and joys that don’t go amiss .
When I get fed up with nothing but phony , superficial people that are all over the media. I watch your channel because it is so refreshing!
Best to all three of the scamp tribe!
AquaticUber was my favourite. I love it when Kamp talks, my friends and I all talk for our dogs too. Mine always calls me “Hey Lady!”.
I find the "Private property" signs are the least aggressive sounding
I like that effect every time Elsa Claps her hands 😂. And Kemp's voice though. 😂😂
Life below zero is awesome, have you guys watched homestead rescue?! I love all the different things they do to make particular homesteads work no matter where they are.. Especially the gardens they come up with!
Poor Kamp he looked so helpless in that river and so sad afterwards.... Glad you found him and he is allright :D
“It’s like a dang mansion in here!” I literally LOL’d
Kamp is so precious. How scary. He is your fur baby so would be like losing a human child.
Poor little guy. I bet he fell in at a spot that was alittle deeper and he got washed to where you found him. So glad you found him and he wasnt scared and stuck there for hours or days. Good job mom & dad on quickly find the boy.
The title scared me and we put down our dinner to watch it. Kamp being a Shiba Inu just like our Basenji they have a mind of their own. I am so happy you found him and he looked so happy as well. Glad Barron could be there to uber him out of there. Love the voice over for Kamp.
Omg Kamp. The look on his eyes tells us everything - I’m sorry and I’m scared. I know you may not like this but a tracker collar might help. Especially if likes to chase wild animals. Will marigolds help your mosquitoes and flies situation. Slowly but surely it will be better. Beautiful land.
Just do simple “Posted” signs letting them know it is private property.
When plants come in a pot you can dig a hole. Stick the potted plant still in the pot in the hole. Pack it a little and remove it. Now remove the pot from the plant you want to add. this will give the roots lots of room to grow and it’s the perfect fit every time
Oh yes..i am so glad Camp was safe and he now had a voice. I love it...i had to go back just to heat it again.
Kamp’s voice overs are the best!
Sounds like you need a bell for the collar on the little buddy! Glad you found him!
Shibas are such naughty runners. We had one who was an expert escape artist and he gave us multiple strokes/heart attacks with his shenanigans. Kamp is such a good boy, though. I think he was just a little "distracted" with his new property! 😄
A little tip I learned a long time ago, DO NOT dump your bagged soil into a plastic container. Take the new bag of soil and simply lean it against something, a pile of rocks, fence, anything. Once you do that, cut the top off the bag, take a knife and poke a couple of holes in the bottom for drainage, then just simply plant your garden plants, (tomatoes, peppers, etc.), into the soil on the open end of the bag. If you want to plant bush type of green beans (Romano Bush) or vining plants such as cukes, simply lay the bag of soil down, cut a slice length wise and plant you seeds. I have been growing tomatoe plants in the same bags for 6 years now. About every 3 to 4 years, I have to buy a couple of bags of dirt to replenish the soil and I ad some compost to them as well. One of the best plants to grow in a hot and dry environment is "Okra". Okra is amazing and grows very easy in hot environments. Kale grows great this way also, but it grows better in cooler environments, so if you live in a dry arrid place, grow kale in the very early Spying and Late Summer. Where I live, I plant a "bumper" crop of the Romano green beans in late August and have fresh green beans for Thanksgiving. All grown in bags!!!! Growing in bags = no weeds!!!!
"I need an Uber real bad...Aquatic Uber" LOL. I'm glad you guys were able to find him.
Please keep narrating kamp, it’s hilarious!
Omg my heart sank....my cat I thought got out my front door one time omg found her in an organizer hid in my closet! Lol Kamp just had a Swimming lesson Shower looks nice cool ring Barron! Elsa you rock girl 😎
i have a garmin astro for my dog and i love it. they make a mini version for your little guy. its a gps collar that works completely off grid, no cell service needed and it is NOT a shock collar. im so happy yall found him. i cried. iv been following along for a little bit and i think all of you are so amazing and i wish you all nothing but the best.
I had tears in my eyes, I was so happy when you found Kamp. 🐶
Aw! He looked so scared! Glad he's ok. Also, I love how supportive you both are of each other's passions and pursuits.
I saw the title and almost cried! Camp..you stinker..poor guy was so scared!
Intense experience when you can’t find your dog (or Cat). Been there many times. Glad you found him safe. I LOVE YOU Kamp.
Little House Off Grid just posted why you should post "No Trespassing." There is a legal explanation you might want to watch him explain.
Also, he built a tiny house that is small enough to avoid a permit, etc. Missouri laws. Check it out.
I love that you guys watch Life Below Zero! Sue is such a badass!
She is!!
KAMP sounds like the miniature version of Beetlejuice! So cute. Glad you found him. Sneaky little bugger.
Kamps new voice is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard. 10/10. Glad he is safe. You can’t stop the adventures, mom. Also I am envious of your little set up. I often look into those little sheds for tiny living. Making a tiny little “village”. A school shed, kitchen shed, shower shed, communal living shed, indoor rec shed, and then individual bedroom sheds. Garden, compost, gigantic fire pit. A cow, a few chickens, maybe a cute little pet goat! Y’all are living the dream and I’m so happy to see it!
Get that system with collar that only allows him to go so far maybe? He looked so scared 🥺 Love the property. Stay safe and have fun. :)
Kamp running away was scary. Glad you found him. Also I love how camp talks now lol
Poor Kamp...he looked so scared. Got over there and couldn't get back. Glad he spoke up!
I think if my wife and I had been 20 years younger we might be living in a scamp trailer. But now with 4 adult kids your age and living in a suburb, it’s fun to watch you living the dream. 🙂 Yes, we’re happy but often dreamed of nomad living.
Buy the biggest shed you can afford, just like a garage or deck, you’ll be glad you did.
Heat rises so the taller the better. big enough to park car inside to work on or scamp inside during hail storm pull through with doors on both ends. shipping container would be great if you could get your materials delivered inside an have it left on property that would be ideal.
So happy your found your boy. I was terrified for you, such a lot of land to cover and who knows where he would end up. It is the worst feeling.
Nice to hear Kamp speaking up in his own (sort of old-man sounding) voice. So cute. Love you all.
I’m loving the voice overs for Kamp I was crying laughing 😂 I was ready 🤣😩🤣
Oh and btw, the happy frog soil you just used is made here in Humboldt County, California. Another reason to visit 😉
When you were shopping for posting signs, I also saw signs that said “Gentlemen” and “Ladies.” So, to soften the harshness of no trespassing, perhaps preface that sign with the “ladies” and “gentlemen” signs. You could close with “thank you” or “warmest regards” and/or “have a nice day” and smiley face too! Haha.
Hahaha love this idea 😜 “Ladies and gentlemen, no trespassing! Violators will be shot! Thank you, come again! But don’t!”
I find it helpful to put a bell on them when they are off leash so you can hear them. So glad he's ok!
Shiba’s gonna Shiba. Glad you found him. Our Shiba is 16 years old and can’t hear anymore, so we are extra careful about making sure he doesn’t sneak off. He still has the desire to explore, wander off and chase things.
Your channel is quickly going from nomad life to homestead life, which is a very cool transition to watch. Enjoy!
