    Very brave to take such a big step. You're right that a lot of time in school is wasted, but please don't forget that kids in school learn the important skills of how to interact with other people and hopefully to assess their character. Schooling isn't just about learning a trade, it's about becoming an intellectually and emotionally well-rounded person.

    I admire you and your family for doing this. In fact, I am rather envious. I've thought about doing the same for many years, but I am now almost seventy and my children are moving back to be near me, which is really nice. This doesn't mean that I will stop doing new things and learning new skills, but now I hope to include my sons. I'm hoping for new adventures all the time. You should be proud of giving your family new experiences. It's a kind of knowledge many, if not most, people never get and have no clue what it could mean to their lives. I was a military brat and followed that by enlisting myself, then marrying a military member, while I separated to raise my children. So, I moved frequently for a large portion of my life and it happened to be the formative years, the most influential years. Your children may have that to look forward to. Well, this is much more than I expected to say, but I wanted to wish you and your family much luck, good experiences, and lots of adventure.

    If you are able to teach your kids the fundamentals (they need math, literature, history, etc) then homeschooling is fine. If all you are going to do is prepare them for trade skills, you are making the choice for them that that is all they are going to be set up to do. Homeschooling isn't bad (I was homeschooled for a year by my mother who had a degree in education) but you need to prepare your children for whatever future THEY want. Not just the future you want them to have (career wise). Good luck and I wish you the best!!

    During my travels to Maine we went to Fort Knox of Maine State Park. Very interesting, but the reason I mentioned it was because of the unique lawn chairs scattered around the grounds. they were a Double Adirondack style with a small table in between. I've looked for plans but can't find them. Came close , so I settled on a similar design. It used 2x4 and 3/4 x 3. I would think something like that would sell. I'd send you a picture if I could figure out how to.

    Amen! Our world is filled with college graduates with buckets of debt and no good paying or no jobs in their chosen field. Promote a strong faith solid educational basics. There are online K-12 curriculums available for subjects that may not be in your wheel house. Train them to be solid American citizens that love God and country and they will be successful. The world would have you believe that as a parent you aren’t equipped to do this and should relinquish your kiddos to the public school system. You’re doing the right thing and I applaud you and your wife for making this commitment to your family. God bless you and your family.

    Brady, when I heard a lot of what you said I thought it sounded more like you making excuses for "going on the road,"...LOL...but when I heard "home schooling" and "New York State," I fully understood why you are LEAVING that region. I lived in Vermont and the Albany , New York area for over 20 years and it simply is not a place to raise kids now days. I'm very pleased you are going down this path...Great video and thanks for sharing this...!!!...Perhaps this will give others, like yourself, the courage to do the same as your family...I subscribed today and look forward to following along as you learn and find you way with a more nomadic lifestyle...P.S....My comments (video: problem with air dried lumber) about green woodworking and sharing my knowledge base with you is sincere, I think you do great work, but just have not learned as much as you need to...yet...but have the skills to do a lot with it when you do get there...

    Looking forward to seeing how your plans all work out. We home schooled our 4 kids as well. They are all adults now with the youngest just turning 29. My wife and I just moved into our new house and slept in it for the first time last night. I've had a woodworking shop built into the house (barndominium actually), and will be teaching my grandkids how to woodwork. I've got 5 of the 8 grandkids who live adjacent to our 5 acres and they are all homeschooled as well. I asked my daughter-in-law if she'd be ok with me teaching the kids and she loved the idea. I've got the 11 and 8 year old excited about repurposing old pallets to make stuff with (keeps the costs down while they learn skills), and selling them to make a few bucks. They both love the idea. Now I just have to get my shop set up (the house is a mess with all our boxes of stuff that has been stored for 5 years while we RVed full time. We've got a Grand Design Solitude 384GK that we'll be traveling in again once we get our house in order and live her a bit, enough to get tired of it and get the itch to get our and see stuff again. Enjoy the journey, and one thing I can say about homeschooling is, we became very close to all of our kids and have a great relationship with them. When people talk about how they had trouble with their teenagers, I can't relate because we didn't go through any of those "trouble years" with our 4 kids. They all traveled with us from 2006-2008 in a Travel Supreme DBSS (44' 5th wheel) that I pulled with a Volvo 770, and towed a Honda Odyssey van behind it. We licensed the Volvo as an RV and set it up for the oldest to live in when we parked = had 2 RV's hooked up at one RV site, and used the Honda to go on side trips. Enjoy the journey, I know we never regretted ours.

    • @BradyHommel
      @BradyHommel  11 місяців тому

      Pete, thank you for sharing all of that. And congrats on your new build. A Barndominium is what we are considering when we do settle back down. My latest video is a pretty simple pallet build. Possibly something you can try with the grandkids... Sounds like you have done almost exactly what we're planning on doing and have no regrets about it. Loved reading your comment. Thank you for sharing. We looked at those solitudes. Awesome rigs! Hope all is going well with the shop setup!
