    A full tour of the cabin and the land 😊💛 I still can’t believe the last time we toured we didn’t have power and the walls were PURPLE. Hope you enjoy taking a walk around the entire homestead in this video. Don’t forget- Pack merch shop is open and you can get your hoodies, T’s and hats to represent our community until August 30th.

    I want to comment on the Bombas socks. I worked for a homeless org in Texas. We received so many boxes of bombas socks for our clients for free. Clients were ecstatic and grateful, the socks feel good. Bombas really DOES send them to the needy!

      I don't know anyone who wouldn't welcome some Bombs socks for Christmas! Or any reason. Looking out for your neighbors, especially those in need, is what every decent human being should do. I order stuff throughout the year from Amazon and give it to a local Christian organization who ministers to the homeless people in my county. They don't care about what religion the clients follow because they help regardless.

    For your garden: Did you try planting Rosemary? It's not only good as an herb in Italian dishes, but it also acts as a natural deer repellant.

It's def not just about the back breaking physical work, but also the planning and strategizing required to fulfill your vision. You've created what can only be described as a true off grid paradise. I remember when you stopped at Todd and Tyler's land years ago, and you were so inspired by their outdoor shower and some of the landscaping they had done at that point. It's crazy how much you've accomplished since then, when it all was just a potential dream. Now, land Barons that you've become, lol, I look forward to the bunky completion (I'm guessing Max will be guest #1), the lake cabin, and let us not Forget Mexico!

    You ladies might want to make the effort of reducing the fuel load (reducing the number of trees, limbing the trees, and removing any dead timber) in the forest around the property in as wide a radius as you can so a forest fire wont run through as easily. This is something you can do slowly and expand outwards over several years, its a big undertaking.
    Some bonuses in doing this is that the trees you do leave standing, the largest and healthiest, will grow much more quickly, the trees you cut down is free firewood/timber and it will make the place look much nicer^^

    Gosh, it seems like just yesterday I was watching a video titled, "VAN TOUR of OFF- GRID TINY HOME | TRAVELING FEMALE COUPLE lives VAN LIFE with 2 DOGS."
    The more things change, the more they stay the same...but in the process, you've touched so many tens of thousands of lives through your hard work on this always entertaining channel. 🙂
    Paws up to all four of you! 🐾🐾🐾🐾

    3 years has flown by and it's been fun watching the cabin turn into a home. I forgot Porter was there to help turn the lights on. Nice cameo Porter. :) Clementine has made such a difference. Clementine drive is so appropriate for such a hard working gal.

    So much from the ground up and it feels so luxurious now, especially with all the outdoors accomodations! I mean if you put that on airbnb when you go to your mexican property... might not feel as luxurious in the winter, though. We will need a winter tour. I'm sure it will feel whimsical:)

      @Stoney_Snark So that is a real thing? I have been a massage therapist for 24 years. 20 years ago I remember someone telling me that I could go to the ski resort towns in Colorado and live at the hotel while doing seasonal work. I didn't look into it because I didn't know it was a real thing. I thought maybe you had to have connections. - Should've, could've, would've... 🤦‍♀️

    • @Stoney_Snark

      @@OZ01209 , I was the Desk Manager at Ragged Point Inn in Big Sur for 8 years. I lived about 15 ft. from the edge of a 350 ft. cliff above the Pacific. Given, it was a single-wide trailer, but it was amazing, and it was rent and utility free. Once I took the Desk Manager position I also got a shift meal. Many of the Big Sur resorts had seasonal workers, and some of the more ritzy ones provided spa services. We contracted out to a masseuse in Cambria, about 20 miles away for appointments. So, the short answer after this long answer is yes!

    SO STRANGE! I was thinking about this channel this morning, looking forward to my weekly cheery update and I was thinking "Egads, it's amazing how much they've done since they started. They should do a recap of some kind." And here it is. Amazing timing.

    🎉 Each video I am Amazed by not only your skills, but your tenacity!! Did you have prior experience in plumbing, electricity & construction?? Each week & each project I look back on my 70 years & wonder Why didn’t I try anything like you have?! Also, curiously I wonder how you are able to purchase all the supplies to do the many projects you’ve done? Most importantly, I give Total kudos & Respect to both of you & it’s well deserved!!
    Rock On! 🎉 💕

    You all are so inspirational. Brava! You are so ahead of the curve. Being connected to the land, the wildlife, seeing your pups live their absolute best lives, eating your own plants, and being self-taught and self-sufficient--it's not easy but it is the fulfilling, emerging way. Thank you for showing us the way. :^)

    We just went to the east coast for the first time and were blown away with how much of it is forest! The drive from Moncton through Amherst and then down to Parrsboro and along the bay of Fundy was breathtaking. I kept wondering if I was driving right past your place.

    The amount of work you have accomplished on that property is just amazing. I have watched the whole thing progress from the beginning to now and I am just in awe of your hard work and talent and determination. Nothing’s gonna stop you. I can’t wait to see the cabin at the lake be finished. I know it will look great too. Stay safe have fun. See you next Sunday.❤

    I cannot tell you enough how much you've both inspired me to (eventually) build my own place!! South Africa isn't quite ready yet but I intend on changing that! Even though it's gonna be about six years before I can start anything, I've already drawn up a rough plan of what I want to do. One of the main issues for me is the location. I want to be local enough for delivery-take out, but also have a large enough property for me to build my mostly-underground log home - thankfully I already have an idea of what tools I need, due to the two of you :-) So thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and sharing your lives with us all!

    Good morning beautiful ladys😊 what a perfect way to start my Sunday 🎉 it’s my time and I don’t mind spending it with 2 of my favorite lady’s.
    You guys are awesome. I can’t imagine how much you lady’s have actually done. You guys show us very short clips from your hard work. 🎉🎉🎉 how did you guys just decide to leave everything and start a new life in a place that that is so far. That’s bravery ❤ I love to see the clips where you first start your renovations and to hear your visions and to see them come true.
    Did you ever thing, man what did we get ourselves into?
