ua-cam.com/play/PLDg94Ykjf-y8EqS-YYC-Lmc48_0wmfqm4.html This is the second "marathon" video I have uploaded, I made a playlist so you can find these easily. Each video will have several videos grouped together from the beginning of my homestead. Several people thought the last marathon video was new, which must be confusing. These are my first videos from over three years ago. lol, enjoy.
I would have some type of mulch, going on. I'm in the high desert, in California; and I have been using some old hale bales, leftover from a backyard weddings. Really cheap, if you had to buy a bale, but covers a lot. Just a suggestion. Love your vids, keep up all the hard work!
I've already watched most these videos so I just put this on while I clean up and I'm just drawn in... I cannot wait to dig holes in the desert. Your videos are helping me manifesting my desert venture. I'm gonna be so on top of my shit then I'll finally be alone with the desert and the Source
Hi John.. I’ve been away for awhile & doing catch up lol. I do a lot of canning of anything I can 🤣. I’ve canned a lot of meat in the past when my guys were hunting. With chicken it’s the same. I just put raw pieces in the jar & pressure can… it makes its own juice👍 nice for the pantry also 😉 Things are looking good ! 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
You should host a homestead workshop!!! You are so entertaining and knowledgeable! I’m going to order your products so I can get my AZ homestead up and running as soon as I get there.
If you want volume you may decide to plant Roma tomatoes and yellow squash. The squash works best if you make a mound of dirt and plant it in. The plants can get 4 ft wide, and say 2 rows of 4 mounds, youll constantly be harvesting. Just something I did in similar soil. Keep up the great work! I enjoy watching the progression of you greening the desert, well, your land. Its turning out great!
You're correct. If I only ate less food. That's the most difficult part for me. I get a lot of physical activity. I jump rope and hit the heavy bag every day too.
@@FrugalOffGrid John, think about what you said….. you are a big man. Your bone size looks to be large so you need meat to cover/protect them. You do get a lot of exercise.😳 maybe try just walking from your property to end of road & back each day. Walking works the entire body🚶♂️😉. Like I said, you’re a big guy & your body needs that food 🥘 so if you stop eating your body will store up fat to use when it’s not sure when it will get food again. Everyone’s body is built different & metabolism also. You grow your own & eat healthy. Also STRESS has a lot to do with how our bodies function. We each have our own uniqueness. I’ve always loved the unique aspect of life 😍 Food wise, try several smaller meals during the day. I hope I’m not offending with my comments 😔. I think you’re doing a magnificent job with your history & current way of living. Sometimes too much time to think 💭 lol. Sorry about the book 📖 Just know many of us are extremely proud of you for what you have accomplished 🥰. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I would go as low as you can, 8'. That way, the thermal mass above the pipe, will be massive. But, I'm not digging, you are. Either way, I think your idea about how it works, is on point. From the videos, I've seen. Your concept is correct. Good luck. Love your spirit.
I like how you incorporated your past and present vlogs. You have come a long way. You're living proof it can be done all one needs is to take the leap. Much respect!
I'm no expert, I've seen people use barrel's of compost in greenhouses to warm the air, distiller's to add moisture, and underground gardens to keep plants cool. Don't know about thermal stuff. I've used old single pane glass windows to heat up greenhouse - (80-120 degrees as long as the sun shines even in winter) ive even used polycarbonate smoke color to give sunlight but to keep it cool also (I like this best just expensive ) and I've used solar heaters & ceramic pots with candles (pain in ass & cost a lot for candles) sorry can't help just wanted to mention things I've done, might help. Good luck
My husband and I are in gila county. I was curious where you're at roughly? My husband wanted to homestead years ago and bought 40 acres in navajo county, vernon az. the wind was too much and he sold it. We now just garden on a third of an acre in central az. You are an inspiration. Love to see how self sufficient you are. Wow.
I think its best to invite some folks to your property for few days at a time so they can enjoy the land and perhaps help u clean up and do some work on this land to appricate the mother nature
This One Came over my Shoulder this'After noon.. So' now that ive settled dwn' for the evening .. Im getting to check this one out . Will come back 'with response surely. 💫💜✨️🐞✨️💜💫 As promised' Wow' im curious'as'to how many days' it too to dig the geo thermal garden .Also happened to see you have bunnies too.In these later videos that i saw first' made me wonder if you kept them. Maybe in some more of your videos ' i'll find out about them. Nice to know' about your chickens' as my Daughter& Son inlaw and their soon to be four children' jst were gifted 2 golden cosmos' so' ill be asking her about her luck with the egg laying. Also' good to know about the solar system''Nd your booster. Thanks So much For Your Sharing' Im sure loads fine this helpful as well.💫💜✨️🐞✨️💜💫

Popsicle sticks from dollar store for keeping track of plants works for me .
Congratulations
Maybe you can disassemble the house and use the wood for compost/firewood/hugoculture bed.
Since you seem to like digging, lol can you use some reflection light like in pyramids do. Good infor on thermal. Thanks

I don't know how you do it all by yourself. So much work involved. Love your channel
You'd be surprised what you can do by yourself when you don't have a choice. Thanks for watching.
@FrugalOffGrid my pleasure on watching. Thanks for the reply.
We'll try some tea when you get it ready for sure. And some veggies, haha
Awesome job brother. Very nice place. I will check the web site.
My back hurts every time I watch one of your videos. You’re doing great.
Ha
Your tea is incredible!!!!! It's beautiful and delicious, also love the bags!!!
That old Ford you found next to the abandoned house would make a cool Chicken Coop!
Buff Orpington are great chickens!! I miss mine😢 adventurous man off gridding in AZ- much love to you from Western WA state
I respect people who are kind to their animals.
Excellent👍🏻
OMGOSH who needs a gym when you’ve got a shovel, land & a plan 👍👍👍. Your mind must spin at night when trying to sleep 😵💫🤣🤣👵🏻👩🌾❣️

Great video thanks for all the info
It's a lot of work but you're right how in the heck did we do it years ago
Thanks Vince
@FrugalOffGrid my pleasure. Thank you too😊
Thanks for including the water testing part. This was a good view of how your getting it done.
You bet

Since you have wind, can you use pvc pipes to get the wind that way no need for fan and you wont need to dig deeper than 1 foot
Pve pipes above ground like in underground bunkers, to circulate air
Tea is good for you

I had read the winds are horrible too.
If you added some walls to the carport someday could be a nice size cabin for ya.

Do you have Caliche under your soil?
Do you have any problems with termites with your wooden pallets
how long do the winters last there and where are you exactly?
