What Did He Do???

- Life on the shipping container is about to have enough solar panel to live comfortably!! But to get our solar setup running Lou needs to run a cable from the solar array to the shipping container compound. He rents a trenching tool but unfortunately runs into lots of rocks so that is how we ended up with this massive trench that took over part of our road!
In this video, I also cook a bunch, brew kombucha, and we have lots of outdoor family time!
Hope you enjoy all the progress :)
Big hugs,
Dana

Three weeks ago my 5 year old walked in while I was folding the laundry and watching you guys. My 7 year old came in a little later and they were super interested in your channel. So over a few days I told them about your journey and showed them some parts of your videos over the years. We are german so they don't understand what you are saying but they asked me a bunch of questions about your life. Your storytelling is great for children! I think they would love a home tour when your office is ready. And they love Freya and Max! Happy greetings from germany! 😊
Oh wow!! That is so special, thank you so much for sharing that with us :) Really makes my heart smile that they were curious about our story. Sending big hugs to you and your family from all of us ❤
What a delight to see Max’s standing and small step - I hope you could hear me clapping 😊. Also his excitement when Lou came home- priceless! What a lot you have accomplished is what is really a short time - all kudos to you both. I’m sure it definitely hasn’t been easy but look around and just see what you have. 👏👏👏😊
That was you clapping in the distance haha!! Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words, Bluebluepoodle, that is really so kind :) And a good reminder to always take a moment and soak it all in :) Wishing you a wonderful, wonderful week!! ❤
I think it's a testament to human resilience that despite the fact many of us did not receive the kind of support and attention Max is fortunate to have from Dana and Lou, many of us turn out to be productive individuals. Some of us even have successful love lives and raise children happier than we ever could be. I certainly will not be making any babies but I'm grateful to have been born with the strength and intellect to overcome, in my own way. I am full of hope and joy in the knowledge that we are raising a better generation. There's a lot more science on our side, and then there's amazing role models like Dana and Lou. There's much to look forward to when the future is bright for the kids.
Alex, I cant express how much your comment touched me to read! I completely agree, the human spirit is resilience, and it is beyond impressive seeing how people can overcome various hardships. We are also so grateful to be alive in this day and age, where we had access to diverse role models ourselves to inspire us, learn from, connect with in ways that would have been far more difficult, if not possible, 50 years ago. All the science and shared knowledge :) We are hopeful for the new generation, too :) Thank you so much for this comment ❤ Sending big hugs to you!

I always do everything around food, filling, service, measuring, pouring, tasting, fruitcleaning... above or on a tray as kluntz is bound to be there. It keeps my cleaning of spilled goods pretty simple and allows to reuse some of the spilled stuff because it fell next to my récipient, but on clean surface.;-)
Max will be walking any minute now. Dana, the way you ate teaching Max to help in the kitchen shows what an amazing mom you are. Congratulations on all of the milestones youve covered and cheers to all of your upcoming celebrations 🎉🎉🎉
Pawlet that is soooo kind of you to say ❤ So excited for him to be up and wandering, so much of the world still to learn :) hope you are having a really nice week!!
I love how you guys involve max in every and how much he's already learning because of that
These videos are so joyful that it's like a balm for the soul. I can't believe how well the garden is doing. This is maybe a sign for me to try growing veg again.
I'm also impressed with your drench and how hard you both have been working. I love how much you involve Max. It's helped me realise how much I distract the little ones and rush through house work, even though they love to help too.
Aw that makes me so happy to read, thank you!! It’s so cute how curious they are, right? At this age everything is an adventure, even chores, haha! Big hugs to you and your little ones ❤
Digging can be the ultimate mystery on a rural property… it’s kinda like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get!! Been there… had the surprise and the challenge!! We have to replace the casings in our dug well as they are rusting out. We have not decided whether to go with cement casings or plastic casings, either way I hope we don’t experience too many surprises during the dig. Now that it’s September and this high school sewing teacher is back in the classroom next week, perhaps this well project of ours will be postponed to next year. Your late-season garden is looking great!! We have been blanching & freezing, canning, baking, and preserving the summer’s bounty from our garden and greenhouse. It’s a lot of work, but so worth it!! Good luck with your harvest and your solar power project. Thanks for sharing your amazing journey and great videos. Ⓜary🍁🇨🇦
Haha that box of chocolates quote is EXACTLY the way to describe it!! Have me chuckling over here :) big hugs to you and wishing you lots of fun with all eh canning, preserving and baking up in in beautiful Canada! ❤
Looooove all the footage with Max ❤ he’s a doll!
You and Lou work so hard. But Lou never ceases to amaze us with his skills and dedication to work hard for the dream he has for you, Max and Freya. Max is really super clever the way he helps and the way he reacts when he sees his dad is just too adorable. His first step!!! Wooo hooo . Take care and stay safe. X
Lou really has made our dreams come true up here :) So grateful!! Will definitely be sharing your kind words with him, Rebena ❤ thank you!! Hope you are having a nice week x
Max is simply the best!😊 Love what your doing here folks.🎉
If you were to get another container I would definitely stack it on top and make bedroom's and a playroom. ❤❤❤
I miss the days of having my baby on my hip while I cook and tell him everything we are doing! You two are amazing parents!
Lol, "we don't have a very big garden this year". As I look at my little 7x7 garden. Good work guys!
What an absolute joy and privilege to share in your beautiful life once again. I just love your ethics, your kindness and sweetness. Been following you since 2018 and it's just gorgeous seeing you both grow into such lovely parents. I couldn't help but chuckle at the bit telling Max 'that's why you should have shoes on!' Thank you for sharing your journey. From me in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. ❤❤
You are so kind, Emma, thank you so much for this comment ❤ And for hanging out with us these last 5 years!! We are so grateful to have along for the journey :) Sending the biggest hugs to you in the Outer Hebrides from all of us!!
You are blessed. And full of grace. Unbeliavable luck for Max to grow up with you as parents, delightful to see.
No to the word that starts with W and ends with inter 😁I am gonna continue to delude myself it is summer.. it is summer 🤣🤣 Max is gonna be a better cook than I am. He is growing so beautiful, standing and stepping now. Blessings to your family and thank you for sharing your story with us.🥰
Good to see you guys again (have been you tube "silent" for a bit). Since I've been gone you guys have done the container thing and added a new member to the Roam family 😉. So today I'm binge watching my favorite channel to catch up with y'all and relax a while. I've been here since Ody 😥☺ , y'alls first dog Freya , the boat , Maui , etc. I'm looking forward to the baby episodes and anything else I've missed. So keep em coming. Again , good to see you again 👍
Oh wow!! We are so happy to have you with us for all these adventures, Lenny ❤ thank you for this beautiful comment, and for spending time with us via our videos :) Hope you are having a really nice week!
I brew a lot of Kombucha n India and sold it there. You can use the overdue Kombucha as vinegar for salad, it is delicious. And if you guys ever see and buy or plant red Spinach, you take that instead of tea and you get a vibrant pink Kombucha, very tasty. That was our favorite to drink and to sell.
That was pretty amazing how you and your family planted potatoes in your family garden. I'm not really a green thump but after watching how you harvested the potatoes made me want to be one.❤.
This is very calming and very little house on the prairie lol.
Just one tip for the garden. You should clean the weeds around the beds as well, otherwise the seeds with just keep blowing into the beds. Rake the stones regularly and that should keep it down.
Also, you already had a mini digger, why would you ever think you needed a trenching tool?
Oh well, good luck.
You have worked so hard, its a shame the trencher didnt work but you made an awesome trench Lou. Wow Max standing and taking his first step - where has that time gone. I love watching what you create in the kitchen Dana. Having power so you can do all you need at your homestead will be so amazing - well done you! x
Thank you so much, Lynne ❤ Really appreciate the supportive, kind words! Hope you are having a most wonderful day :)
So lovely to see all these exiting developments! Have been following since the Berlin days! Max is beautiful! ❤
Max is so ADORABLE 🙂
Have you thought about folding chairs in the kitchen so you all don't have to sit on the floor? You could then install hooks higher up on the wall to hang them on to keep them out of the way when not in use.
What a great idea! Will also consider that :) Thank you!
Your kitchen is really beautiful
A tiny little barista!😮😊
Kombucha making seems so much fun! Will give it a try as well 🤩
You are such wonderful parents ❤️ 💕
Love these chill videos, even tho you guys are doing a lot! I'm amazed at Lou's trench, he's gotten so good with the digger (or whatever you call it :D ) Love your veggie bowls, they always look so good Dana! And Max took a step!! Kisses to Freya ... Have a great week guys, it's amazing how much work you've accomplished this summer 🏆❤🌿
Right, he’s an artist with that big machine! Thank you so much for all the kind words ❤ Really motivating to read :) Hope you are having a week full of happy moments xx
How about diluting the kombucha to make it more palatable. You still get all the goodies!
I love how hands on you two are with Max! I think today, many are not as hands on because they are so distracted by the T.V. and Computers. It's just so refreshing to see parents so hands on and really teaching their children!
Thank you, Rivkah! We certainly try our best ❤ Hope you are having a nice week!!
yall are such amazing parents 😭😭😭😭 i have loved watching this whole journey from odie to max ❤️
Aw we are so happy to have you along for our whole ride :) Thanks for spending time with us all these years! Wishing you many happy moments this week :)
Something amazing yes he did.😊😊😊
By the way, if you let your kombucha ferment too long, it just turns into a lovely kombucha vinegar!
I use kombucha vinegar as my shampoo (it's popular to use this or apple cider vinegar for the "no 'poo" / shampoo-free lifestyle). I love how soft and healthy it keeps my hair, and I can now go 5-7 days without needing to wash it (whereas when I was using regular shampoo, I would have to wash it every 2-3 days before it would get too oily).
It's also great in salad dressings. Or You can add a little to a glass of water to help with digestion (you can sweeten it a bit if it's too sour as well).
And in my experience, you can leave the scoby in leftover vinegar for quite a while and it just is happy to just sit there until you feel like making a new batch (I've gone a month or 2 between batches.)
You can also put your extra scobies in a "scoby hotel", which is basically a second jar with some of the kombucha vinegar and the scobies. Just periodically add a little new tea (sweetened of course), to keep the scobies alive. This is a nice backup, just in case your main batch does go bad / moldy, and a great way to save the extra scobies to give away to friends, too!
Also, this could just be editing magic, but it looked you might have poured the new diluted tea mixture into the kombucha jar while it was still hot. It's recommended to let the tea cool down to room temperature (ish) so you don't kill the scoby. I usually let it cool down until I can touch it. But if the water you are using to dilute it is cool enough, it might bring the temperature down enough without having to wait :)
Scoby hotel!! How cool is that! Thank you so much for all these tips and ideas, they are great! Thank you for sharing your kombucha wisdom it is appreciated ❤
excited to see what developments y’all have made 🤗
Great job guys
Another huge step you guys! We're so amazed at how much you both get done in a week!
Thank you so much, Leah and Levi!! That’s really motivating to read :) Wishing you both a really nice week!! ❤
Beautiful video of your family! You're both great parents...Max is adorable! .❤ So curious about a few things.. do you have a refrigerator and washing machine? If not how are you preserving food and doing laundry? What are your plans for the winter when the snow starts to get deep? How will you maneuver around to get to the outhouse...take a shower...get back and forth down the road to get supplies?
What are you doing about mosquitoes?
I just made blueberry ginger kombucha yesterday as well. It had been five years since the last time I had brewed on a regular basis. Love your natural and calm videography style and story telling. We have an 18 month old, so it's fun seeing Max progressing in similar ways.
Ohh I hope your kombucha turned out delicious ❤ big hugs to you and your little one!!
Have you been working out Dana? Those biceps those guns!!
I wonder if freja would like the scoby?
Nice. One question, is baby Max multilingual, like dad & mom? You guys speak only English on the vlogs, but as world travellers you know how cool & helpful it is…
I'm confused, where do you guys go to the bathroom? I know you have the bath house by the wall tent but I figured that kind of far for routine use and not winter friendly. You said the build is done when the office is so I was just wondering what you guys will do this winter?
Throw the water line in that trench too!
That thumbnail is amazing 😂😂
How's Freya's training doing? I remember Lou using clothing to see if she could find it. If Dana and Max hide on the land can she find them. Great game of hide and seek 😂
Haha a big hide and seek sounds so fun!! She would loooove finding us, thanks for the idea! ❤
Girl my first ferment is 4-5 days and the second ferment is 3. 😂 turn that month old kombucha into salad dressing. 😂😍
Would it be worth building a gravel/rock screen to filter the dirt before putting it back into the trench?
You put in the nice sturdy fence posts but no fencing around your garden? No deers or other critters trying to eat your garden?
❤
👍💙🙏❤️
I’ve heard that you could get sick drinking month old kombucha? Is that true? I usually let mine sit for 2 weeks and then another week with fruit in the second phase
Maybe use it as vinegar on salad
Any tips on getting bugs to stop eating all my kale?
Where is Max's first step??
How many acres did they buy?
👍♥️
