Send me pictures of your gun collection, bird dog, pickup truck, and bass boat, and I just may just drop everything and start hand digging your root cellar. Oh, you are already married? CRAP! Foiled again!
Shared this over on Gab! SO many folks over there who are like minded and truly enjoy & value this kind of priceless information. Just on my intro post alone, I got nearly 200 likes, many comments flooding in, new followers, and a bunch of shares. And I'm not even an official channel. Just an average homesteading family here!
Growing up in central rural Illinois we had a root cellar! It was always so cool in there in the summer! My mom stored her canned veggies, and jelly in there. 👍 I loved how it smelled, so earthy.
I absolutely love port wine. Most people don't lol. I'm hoping to get a root cellar dug out too. We don't even have a pantry so the root cellar would truly help.
My family has a cabin just outside of Huntsville. Our mom bought it when we were kids and it has a root cellar in the back. When she bought it there was no roof and previous owners had filled the entire cellar with garbage. We got it all cleaned out and discovered the walls were all stacked rock and there was a cement/stone box in the bottom full of cold water! The builders had built it over the spring so they could keep their milk and such, cold. We found a date on the chimney of the house of 1860 but don't know for sure when the cellar was built. Where I live now, our (two story) house is built into the hillside, red clay also, and the north (ish) end of the house has the cellar built into it. The back and north side wall are inside the hill and the ceiling of the cellar is also the floor of the garage upstairs. (the backside of the house is at ground level) The cellar stays cool all year.
@@Anamericanhomestead Yes, it's in Huntsville, AR. My sister currently lives on the property in another house. I will let her know you are interested in looking at and photoing it.
You do have a great idea for a series. Whole categories/types of root cellars, considerations, methods of construction, and location relative to living quarters and other I frastructure.
Excited to watch this process. Root cellar is on the list at our home and we are hoping to put one in, in another year or so. Fingers crossed! Thank you for sharing!
Omg, I love this wine cellar. It reminds me of the old days of Irish days. Folklore. The hobbit lives. Wish I could sit back and talk with you with a glass of wine.
Going on our 2nd year of our newly built root cellar!! Love it! Grew a big garden this summer and it's full with fresh veggies and canned goodies. I'd love to show you pics but not sure how...hmm
We have been wanting to build one of these, along with an off-grid kitchen and bathroom/sauna. We have more projects we want to do than we have time and money to do them. Looking forward to seeing the finished root cellar.
We are planning ours. We don't have deep dirt near the house but we do have a hillside. Current thinking is dig in and down as best we can then form a 1/2 dome cellar roof using aircrete
My husband keeps telling me he's going to dig me a Root Cellar. But with such hard pan red dirt and bedrock...... He's kind of himmmming and hawwwwing now. :) Can't wait to see the end result and your Tour of the cellars.
Living in Southeast Texas, at the border of Orange, Texas and Vinton, LA, it is nearly impossible to do this. We are going to attempt it but because we flood so much...it may not work out. We are in the process of finding property 3 hours north into the Piney Woods, which in itself is not an easy thing, and trying to start our homesteading journey.
How exciting is that! Happy for you all. Your soil (clay) looks like what I have here too even big rock. That will be an excellent add on to your homestead that is if the guys dont take it over as a fort ! Lol I'd be like them, I'd move in there lol cute, I mean awesome ! Lol enjoy you all. Maybe they need a side room.
This is the first time I comment in any of your videos! We have learned a lot from them! Keep up the good work! Your root cellar will look more like a hobbit home! Greetings from Greece!
@@Anamericanhomestead I am a big fan of red wine. There are 3 main categories you find in Greece: sweet, half sweet and the "brusko" which is very strong flavoured. I love brusko! Only recently I got my husband on board (he was more into the traditional white wine, "retsina" as we call it. You can't be a Greek if you don't drink retsina!) Any favourite flavour?
The wine talk just blew my mind. I drink cheap wine often and it gives me the worst hangovers. Now I know why. Good to know that if I make my own it won't be like that
Well I have watched part 1 2 and 3 of this series and found them very interesting. Unfortunately, I've not found Part 4, which would show the final wrap-up of the pour and how the doorway looks. Does anyone know if this series has a final video? Seems that this project was started about 1 year ago so would think that it has been completed?
@@Anamericanhomestead - just a general comment... not trolling. Aside from drainage considerations, 2 compartment cellars (for humidity control and to separate ethylene gas producers) should be considered.
@r.c. Whitehead- we hope to build a root cellar this year and want to take into consideration everything you mentioned. Do you have any book recommendations or additional resources you could share?
I’m on a hilltop in the Missouri Ozarks. ‘Rocky Top’ is a good description. As much as I want a cellar, I’m thinking anything underground is just gonna be too expensive.
I think a root cellar tour would be a great idea. I'm about ten month late from your release of this video so my question would be.... Did you do a tour?
Can you tell me more about the wine you choose? This past Sumkot I met a woman who told me wine a lot of wine pork and bull blood are used in the filtering process.
Would love to have a cellar but I have a 4 foot drop across my property. SO, I am looking into a bulkhead and making one under my house. Thanks for the video. God Bless. Stay safe.
I know you follow Torah so I value your opinion. Can you tell me about the process you use to make wine? This past Sukkot I met a woman who told me a lot of wine is filtered using pork and bull blood. We don't drink or use wine a lot, however I would like to make wine according Yahuah's standards.
Greetings from our homestead to yours. I was curious about your thoughts on burying a large shipping crate and using that as a root/wine cellar? I've seen someone do it and wondered if that could lead to potential problems later down the line. Metal rusting, contamination and other possible issues....etc Thanks! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
I would really like to know the dimensions & detailed cost. I was thinking about this but here in Sparta Tennessee my property has boulders through out and I'm on a mountain and drainage is a pain I already have 3 culverts and 1 French drain. Something else can you use a root cellar as a storm shelter also? Majority of wines sold have fluoride and pesticides poison to your thyroid and its hard to find good organic wine on the market.
Most European wines won't have all that crap in them. They are much more strict on additives and chemical in their wines. They are called old world wines.
I have a bad reaction to wine as well. It makes me want to puke through my nose. It's all bad!🤮 the red clay here is really good for your skin. It makes a nice mask.
Woot looks cool! If you check out simple living alaska UA-cam channel they have some awesome tips for over wintering tons of different garden veggies. One cool example is a number of above ground veggies like leeks overwinter better if you dig them with a clod of dirt around the roots. Any intentions to do a greenhouse front room like Mike Oehler style underground home or greenhouse? Could also be an easy add on after the fact.
Some ladies want a fancy car, a designer purse and a vacation home... Me- “That’s goals right there. I’d so love a cellar!”
Send me pictures of your gun collection, bird dog, pickup truck, and bass boat, and I just may just drop everything and start hand digging your root cellar. Oh, you are already married? CRAP! Foiled again!
You’re about 10 years too late! 😆
Meeeee too!!
Im also a root celler fan.
Me too!
You barely see any root cellars any more. They are amazing. Having one has been a goal for decades.😖💗
Best homesteading channel on UA-cam hands down!
Agreed

We had ours dug this spring 12x8 😊 every homestead should have a root cellar. Were off grid, northern mn.
Nice. If there was anywhere that needed one. Fellow transplanted Minnesotan here. Born and raised. Currently in Wisconsin living on a rock of ridge.
I’m from the UP of Michigan!

making root cellars great again!
Thanks for the info, Shalom.
We had a root cellars dirt and rock I love it growing up in Idaho

If you're talking about huntsviile, AR then I need to come over and take some photos. Message me at my website.

I really dig this video

This is exciting !
It's also a great place to store seeds.
Recycled - Airtight - glass jars are perfect.
Going on our 2nd year of our newly built root cellar!!
Love it! Grew a big garden this summer and it's full with fresh veggies and canned goodies. I'd love to show you pics but not sure how...hmm
What a great year 2020 is, :-), a great year to remember
My house (burned down 2016) built in 1820, Massachusetts had a root cellar insideq. I'd love to build another one! New sub, thanks!
Love it. It’s ironic... I got a new book yesterday; the complete guide to your new root cellar. Can’t wait to see the next video! ☮️❤️☕️-Kirsten
I am so glad we found you today. And I’m deeply sorry that you lost your wife. You have a beautiful child
That is going to look really cool and to have cold storage like that sounds so wonderful.

Another alternative to UA-cam Zach, I heard gabTV is coming. Food for thought, as always, great video!
I love that idea of touring root cellars!
About time! I was thinking that you should have one! We have ancient ones here in Israel.
+1 for the video on historical root cellars
Yeah, I agree with you regarding wine.
My husband keeps telling me he's going to dig me a Root Cellar. But with such hard pan red dirt and bedrock...... He's kind of himmmming and hawwwwing now. :)
Can't wait to see the end result and your Tour of the cellars.
When I started digging here in Norman AR I ran in to blue slate ! even a jack hammer has a hard time
LOVE THAT SHIRT! 😎😎😎🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In Kountze.
I'm married with a wonderful wife and 7 kids. So you know I am not hitting on you. Just nice to see like minded people in my area do exist.
Looks like a great start! Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾
What an exciting project! I would love to see a tour of different root cellars too.
Your shirt cracks me up. I was homeschooled in the 80's when it wasn't legal locally.
Awesome!
I don't care about wine, but I would LOVE a root cellar! I hope you can do an in depth "how to" about it.
Love the shirt...... do it anyway. We used to do it before it was legal.
Very cool design!!
(When you refuse to leave the comment section without complimenting a friend.)
That guy is local...He digs the best dirt.
How exciting is that! Happy for you all. Your soil (clay) looks like what I have here too even big rock.

I knew someone who had a good root cellar. It felt like it would suck the warmth right out of you. Nice in the summer though.
Oh yes, keep using that machinery, lol, will be great when done.
This is the first time I comment in any of your videos! We have learned a lot from them! Keep up the good work! Your root cellar will look more like a hobbit home! Greetings from Greece!

built mine about 2 years ago and a smoke house.

The design of the root celler is very important. Research before you dig.
The guy doing the building has his own cellar. We take into account design, rain run off, etc.

I want one so badly!
Awesome tshirt!

In the process of building a root cellar / storm cellar. I am digging into a hillside too. I am interested in seeing how you do it.
You mentioned wine, and I know you use the more local Norton grapes for wine, but where did you get yours? I can't find them available anywhere.
Look up Doug and Stacy on UA-cam they are in MO. They have a good root cellar.
I'm laughing so hard.
"When you dig here in the Ozark mountains, you never know what you're going to find..."
Please dont say a dead body....
Got a cellar in the back yard i plan to put a better door on and radation proof and also use as a root cellar its not huge but itll work good enough
Love your shirt!
❤
A cellar history/ etc.. video like you mentioned would be neat
how much dirt are you going to put on top of the root cellar roof? What kind of materials are you using?
Shabbat Shalom. So it’s been a couple of weeks... how is the cellar going?
Where in the Ozarks are you guys located? I lived in Eagle Rock Missouri and worked in Eureka Springs many moons ago.
I have a question . I have a root cellar 3 ft wall 3ft dirt wall is that normal? Some are saying the wall should be 6ft not half wall half dirt
I know you follow Torah so I value your opinion.
Can you tell me about the process you use to make wine?

Nothing but a hot ass wood stove would prevent freezing during -40
Hot damn ❤❤❤❤❤🎉 thanks
Only cheap wine is made that way integral wines are made in the old tradition
I have a bad reaction to wine as well. It makes me want to puke through my nose. It's all bad!🤮 the red clay here is really good for your skin. It makes a nice mask.
Have you seen Mr. Chickadee's videos on his root cellar? He has a Hobbit style door on it.
I just dug a hole 6x10 for garbage hole.then i seen it n said nope.its a root celler/sleeping room when it's hot out sandbags I was gonna use it
Wow. That's actual dirt, not limestone! 🤣
I see pottery in the future.
I want to make in Florida
How do you not have a ton of rocks in your dirt here in NWA?
Awwww there they are, 5:20
LOL
Grandpa had one started in tge40s but never finished it
I thought you couldn't do a root cellar in your area due to water line?
👍👍👍
