Justin, long ago, late 80's and early 90's I did not have chickens yet. I had grass and clay both in Missouri and in South Dakota... yes we moved a lot... building Marriott Hotels... anyway, I used Ruth Stouts method of just piling thick rotted hay to kill the weeds and build the soil and the results were nothing but miraculous. On top of whatever is down on the ground. Worms oh my...I could have had a worm farm. Clay turned to wonderful dirt and the food grew as I watched in amazement.
GWTW is my favourite movie. I have watched it over 30 times. My kids have all seen it and when our local cinema had it playing for the 'senior' group one time, I took them to see it as a homeschool outing. All the lovely people were thrilled to see such well-behaved youngsters come along to see such an epic Golden Oldie. I was a very proud solo mum!
I know this is a week late, but I hope Big Daddy told you to put gravel down around those pipes or the weight of those sharp rocks are going to break the PVC.
The more I see, the more I'm jealous of the wonderful family more than anything. That's my greatest mistake in life, and something you just can't fix. God bless you and yours.
Hi Justin... It's normal to be anxious about leaving after something like hurricane Helene did that much damage.... We all get anxious about things that might happen after something that intense happens... Bein gone means if something happens we aren't there to deal with it and that only gets better with each time we go somewhere and come back without bad things happening.... Plus we realize how much we still have to fix or repair... All that creates a weight.... I know that FOR ME prayer is the only thing that helps with that daily!!!
On the pipe it depends on the pressure it is designed to handle. Regular has a thinner wall than what they call Schedule 40, so you need to determine how much pressure the pipe is going to have to withstand. For something like a gutter drain the thinner wall would probably do fine.
the storm gives you a chance to revisit permaculture infrastructure and optimise your land .. take a quick review of Richard Perkins book... and look at the whole homestead as an integrated system with the aim to ad resilience to your landscape
My parents were hit by both Hurricanes, they summer in Asheville and got hit by Helene, left with no power after the storm drove to Tampa to be hit by Milton.
Its probably to late since the delay in the vlogs. But bed and cover your pipe extensions in sand. If you just lay the pipes down in that fill with all the rocks in it you will inevitable crush/crack those pipes when you drive on top of them adding more fill or just plain working in the future.
more tree hacking - good roi - start like 1000 chestnuts plus plant a bunch of apple trees and do more clearing of course - you should get some materials delivered. i think you should shift creek away and reclaim more land upstream also - lots of compost
Are your dirt, sand, mud etc... somewhat chemical free and usable for garden dirt? If so, I would be generating dirt mounds mixed with wood chips at a rate of 25% to 50% then establishing a fenced chicken tractor space on top of it. Ild move each chicken tractor daily to one of four quadrants on top of that fenced mound. Every 30 to 60 days, ild move to a new mound and turn the old mound with the tractor.
Oh I have some uncured bacon from the hog we got and I don't know how to cure it! Would love to know where you found the recipe for this! the bank is looking good!
Oh my goodness...we love all of your content as a large homestead family- and we watch everything you post! However, what is up with the continually blurry video? We feel like our eyes are trying to sharpen the image throughout evey video lately. New camera? Need to wait 15 seconds to let the auto focus adjust before you start talking? I'm not sure what can be done. Love you anyway, but sometimes I have to just look away and listen instead of watch. ❤️❤️❤️
year of the chicken until the viruses spread to your farm and destroys every bird for how long? meat chickens just short raising/growing time but layers? your three older kids have such good wide skills. Both working around the farm especially with equipment and cooking and preparing food for everyone to enjoy.
I would enjoy more showing vs. telling about the greatness of permaculture. You have described the greatness of chicken squat so much, you don't have to keep repeating yourself. Just show us the results.
PS you might look to see if you have a local Plumbing supply company, they usually have Everything and less expensive, with the Hurricane who knows, but I'd check.
How does your editor handle all the focus issues? You should really work on figuring out how to operate that camera since you've been doing it for so many years now.
HAVE YOU CHECKED FUEL amounts since you got back, yet??? You asked us to remind you periodically on fuel cans and tanks. So you don't get caught out again. Consider yourself reminded.
Read the book now! please read the book now and see the real Scarlett. i love the book scarlett and green harbor massachusetts is my Tara. Read the book now that you've seen the movie and see who the characters really are. it's really neat, the difference.
Justin, You are a motivated entrepreneur, a supportive mentor and a teacher for sure but you are most of all an ACHIEVER. You get important things done ! 💪👍❤️👏Bravo take a bow, pat yourself on the back ❗️
I hope Rebecca does not mind me saying this but Im sure she would agree. Justin I just wanted to say to you that you are such a wonderful father and husband . You are a beautiful soul. Ive been watching your Videos for so many years now I cant count, watching your children grow and all your up and downs. I love your spirit and Your family. Sending much love to you all from Australia xxx
You are in Fletcher nc?I was up there Saturday driving over to Bat Cave. I was in shock to see the devastation.you should rive over with the older boys and Lily to see the River bed and damage . The DOT had built back the roads through there.go on Sunday no work being done then, the rest day.
Stop using autofocus when recording or use a camera with a faster autofocus. It's not fun to watch when the images are constantly going in and out of focus.

PVC pipe comes schedule 20, schedule 40, and schedule 80, schedule 20 is used for gutters and rain drains, schedule 40 is used for sewer drain mostly!
Hi.... Great nice to see you all keep it up 🏡🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🦃🦮🐈🐑🐄🐷🐖🐝🐎🎥👍👍👍👍
finally got chickens last year, it makes me feel a little safer. been canning for years, so this feels a whole lot better about the future.
I use a rubber feed bowl over my feeders/waterers. It keeps the lid clean and I can take it off and spray it
The Austin bird noises conversation 🤣🤣🤣
Bricks or rocks. I use them everywhere to keep lids on my buckets when I want to keep chickens and cats out! 👍🏼🧐😁
Perhaps concrete walling the side where your hay is to avoid more side wall erosion?
I've never commented on this channel but Austin do some bird sounds had me crying. Justin was so serious then Evolution came on 😂😂😂😂

Good on for taking kids at that time, also I bet yr kids will remember all the beautiful comments made about them too.
Justin, you need to also notch the lid as well as the rim so the lid can actually attach to the rim of the waterer.
Phillipians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing but everything in prayer and supplication.
Yay! 😊 to finish that verse ...with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Gone with the wind is my favorite movie! I bought the DVD! I might watch it again soon!
Please have the music quieter than the voice volume.
I know this is a week late, but I hope Big Daddy told you to put gravel down around those pipes or the weight of those sharp rocks are going to break the PVC.

Home should be your sanctuary ❤

So much uncertainty in this world but in Jesus Christ there is always hope🙏
Amen!!!
Jesus Christ is my only hope.
Amen.
The only certainly, forever

Schedule 80 is my choice, with gravel packed around it to protect it from the bigger rocks
Beautiful tack room Lily😊

We’ve had our quail out and mourning doves out all winter in the foothills of the Eastern Sierras..❤💐🌞👍
I always shove stuff in my jeep like that lol. 2x4 studs, no problem, roofing sheets, goes right in. A trailer is sometimes inconvenient
Need to contact a plumbing supply company
I hate liquid smoke. It leaves an aftertaste on the back and sides of my tongue.
❤ happy day lovely people!
Love the term Youth group for the bovines!
I can't wait to see your presentation tomorrow on Seed to Harvest ☺️😄❤❤❤❤
My parents were hit by both Hurricanes, they summer in Asheville and got hit by Helene, left with no power after the storm drove to Tampa to be hit by Milton.
Look at where your water did not go and build their after Rebuilding.the area you want. WORKING WITH NATURE.

Justin according to weatherman plus youtuber y'all have two more waves of freezing snow and sleet coming.
Hey, just thought of an idea, why don't you plant alfalfa? Like start growing your own feed
more tree hacking - good roi - start like 1000 chestnuts plus plant a bunch of apple trees and do more clearing of course - you should get some materials delivered. i think you should shift creek away and reclaim more land upstream also - lots of compost
In my experience ACE never has in store what it says on line that they have, very frustrating.

Idk if you care, but your license plate isn’t blurred out
What are you doing on the/your river in case this happens again? Will you’ll be doing something different on the wall where the barn is?

Oh I have some uncured bacon from the hog we got and I don't know how to cure it! Would love to know where you found the recipe for this! the bank is looking good!
Enjoyed.
I'm seeing the robins out and about and hearing the doves cooing. For me, that's the signs of Spring. ❤❤
Wow, I did not realize how much of the land was "washed away"
4 inch OD vs. 4 inch ID
All the construction stuff is increasing in price but stay positive 😅 because what else can you do. I say people can all keep their heads in a hole.

I have been putting fire cider in my chickens water as a preventative 😊

Hahaha... you didn't Measure the circumference of that pipe first before heading out? 😮
👏👏👏
Awesome. You made me happy this morning that things are shaping up on your land! Reclaiming what the storm took is awesome!
Why don’t you guys convert one of your old fences to a 10 foot fence? It seems like you come up short between 10 and 15 feet all the time.😊
PS you might look to see if you have a local Plumbing supply company, they usually have Everything and less expensive, with the Hurricane who knows, but I'd check.
Spending a million dollars it's not a budget
I don't like even going into town😁
It’s a flat meatball sandwich

I'm so glad you're back. We missed you guys. Gone with the Wind was a great movie. I can't find Lily's site. Can you repeat it?

HAVE YOU CHECKED FUEL amounts since you got back, yet???
You asked us to remind you periodically on fuel cans and tanks. So you don't get caught out again. Consider yourself reminded.
The city won't let us have any farm animals.
You can always keep quail inside the house/garage. Much smaller eggs and bird size but it's your own supply.
Read the book now! please read the book now and see the real Scarlett. i love the book scarlett and green harbor massachusetts is my Tara. Read the book now that you've seen the movie and see who the characters really are. it's really neat, the difference.
You need to move your hay storage building to another location. I figure you would have already.
Right, with all of their spare time and money.
Justin, You are a motivated entrepreneur, a supportive mentor and a teacher for sure but you are most of all an ACHIEVER. You get important things done ! 💪👍❤️👏Bravo take a bow, pat yourself on the back ❗️
10:01 Sometimes I worry about the politics/philosophy of this channel.
I think it’s awesome! Not worried at all
I do to
I felt the same when I saw that.... disappointing :{
I saw that too 🙁
I’m not surprised sadly
1:48 when he is your age
The vlogs does not seem to be cronological
How about a shoutout to the local hardware store? You say "Lowe's" all the time. Is that free advertising for Lowe's or do they pay?
Block out your license plate!
The plumbing commentary was killing me. Hope it works for you.
God bless this family!❤
one pipe is thin wall and one is thick wall and they dont match up!!!
I think one of them is a bird golden oriole 2:34
I hope Rebecca does not mind me saying this but Im sure she would agree. Justin I just wanted to say to you that you are such a wonderful father and husband . You are a beautiful soul.

Why do you need salt on bacon
Happy day ❤

Maybe blur your license plates?
So glad everything is starting to go back together!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Happy Day!
When you go to town, where do you go?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you just go political with your Elon Musk reference?
+Disappointing
I saw that too ☹️
ROFL AUSTIN. I'M DYING!
Stop using autofocus when recording or use a camera with a faster autofocus. It's not fun to watch when the images are constantly going in and out of focus.
If she hasn't she needs to listen to or read the book. It's better than the move andshehas other children. Inthebookshe Isa very selfish woman.
Very Happy Day my favorite you tube family.. blessings ❤
So admire the can do spirit you all generate. Funny ha ha, Austin. Must try that burger meal.
Video was great as always. Then came Elon......................... made it feel political. 😞
ve·ra·cious not ve·ro·cious!😂
