Daily Routines In Our Off Grid Shipping Containers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2023
- Every season living off grid will demand a different routine and I think summer is going to be my favorite. Waking up and walking down to the garden, playing on the tractor, making breakfast as a family, finally getting my sourdough starter off the ground... it's like somehow even while living in these moments I know that they are becoming memories I will cherish forever. This video is a compilation of about a week in my life as a stay at home mom with Max. Lou had a bunch going on between editing, construction, and picking up a friend at the airport who is here for a few weeks to help on the land. I hope you enjoy the slow living and the little moments :) I still look around my kitchen every day and feel so lucky to be baking and creating our meals in such a gorgeous space. I can't wait to show you how the office turns out soon! It's going to be another magical shipping container transformation.
Big hugs,
Dana

Vet here! The fact that people question why Freya sleeps in a crate/if that's wrong just goes to show how clueless people are about animal behavior. Another aspect to the crate you didn't mention is that it allows Freya to let her guard down because she knows SHE'S safe. For animals, sleeping requires them to feel protected and the crate is an excellent way of providing that to a dog as smart as her. Also, the routine of it is so important for a working dog's brain. I could go on and on!
I thought you did a great job of explaining about the crate, and that Freya is a working line dog for those that did not know that. You showed patience and grace, as you always do. It is clear that Freya is greatly loved, and loves her work, as well!
Aw thank you so much, Ann, that really means a lot! Glad it shines through what a happy camper Freja is :) Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday xx
I love you guys. I loved this video. So much quiet. It felt like a meditation. The tactful kind direct way you address the freya issue… Life up there looks like hard work … but to own land and have privacy-- what a beautiful gift.
Thank you so much ❤ we are so glad you enjoyed spending some quiet moments with us today!! It really is a gift to be here, we are so grateful. Thank you again for the kind words, really ❤Wishing you a beautiful Sunday xx
Crating your dog is wise. You are doing a great job with Freya.
I love how you guys talk to Max and he just understands what you’re saying, even responds. You can tell he’s really happy there 😊
I love how you include Max in the chores and make it play. So many parents don't want to be bothered. I included my kids, and now they're accomplished adults.
This makes so much sense that Freya needs to be crated so she actually gets rest. You're very smart about that and there's nothing wrong with the dog sleeping in a crate even if they're not a working dog.❤
I think making the bread in your home goes back to centuries of family traditions of blessing a home with bread and it really makes the house, feel like home. Can't wait to see the office!
You are so right!! The smell of freshly baked bread really does "make the house feel like home", what a wonderful way to put it :) Thanks for spending some time with us today!! xx
@@WildWeRoam I moved into a house for the first time in over 20+ years(always apartments). I was unpacking and found the necklace you made with the rock from Iceland and reminded me how far you guys have come.
I love love love how this was kinda asmr like when there wasn't any music
I found your channel when you guys were in Barcelona and have followed every adventure since. Your channel has remained a constant source of calm and peace for me and I thank you so much for that ❤
Sometimes I wish my life looked different and more like yours. It's not an easy life but it's close to the land and with deep relationships, very DIY and with style. I love your videos and seeing your experiences, thank you for sharing!
I never comment on any videos ever but I just need to say: I teared up so much during this video. I've been consistently following you guys since you've had Ody and just seeing where you are right now makes me so incredibly happy and inspires me like nothing else! My life has been a rollercoaster for the last few years and I had to move multiple times to get somewhere where I truly feel safe and at home (for the first time in my life) and I feel like I've just been growing along you guys so much because your videos have always been there for me as a source of comfort and inspiration during everything. I haven't been able to properly cook for a long time now (due to toxic living spaces pretty much) but I feel like I am finally getting there again and just seeing you make bread with max and lou and ahh just the way everything looks so peaceful up there makes me wanna try out so many things as well and also finally create the dream life I am picturing for myself!! :')) I can't even put it into words but you guys have probably been the biggest inspiration I've ever had in my life since I first started watching! I'm excited for everything that's to come in the future. Greetings from germany! 🥰
I am seeing this so late, but I am so glad I did ❤thank you so much for sharing. it really fills my heart to know our content can be a little source of calm and inspiration for you!! Really hope things have been going up and up for you!! best wishes with any creative projects you may have going on!! big hugs from all of us
Don't be hard on yourself. You are a mom. In the future when little-bit is more independent you can be the bread maker.
Wild swimmer here from the wilderness of northern 🇨🇦 who also loves summer!! I get the vibe you described of going outside to check out the day, and puttering about on one’s property whilst soaking up some fresh air and daylight. Food seems fresher, outdoor activities are unlimited, the longer days give more time for hobbies, and outdoor yoyoing in the sunshine is the best (freestyle yoyoist and skill toy enthusiast here). Thanks for sharing all these little nuggets of your daily living. I am looking forward to more exciting home-cooking coming from your cozy kitchen (cookies?? 🍪) and also seeing your mushroom project move forward. Today we are picking, and then blanching and freezing all our green beans from the garden. Yesterday we did all the peas and broccoli. I love canning and preserving summer’s bounty at this time of the year. The leaves here are starting to turn colour… Ⓜary🇨🇦🌲
Mary!! Thank you as always for your beautiful comments, your personality shines through so much in your writing, it really is so wonderful! And yay, so excited to share more baking and cooking too, absolutely should have cookies on the menu :) How cool that you canning and preserving, the dream! Sending big hugs to you up North ❤ wishing you a wonderful week ahead!!
I love your parenting, Max is having a great life! I've always thought Freya was well cared for as well as. She is having a wonderful life too. I have dog sat a few dogs and others are happy to sleep in crates too. A lot of dogs live outside, Freya is a pampered pooch! Congratulations on your first sourdough loaf BTW.
Thank you, Claire, and really glad Freja's joy shines through!! That is also so nice of you to say about our parenting, thank you, it means a lot ❤ Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday xx
I just love how the dog is constantly at their side. Always watching out for them. Scanning. Listening. Ready to protect. ❤ nice video. Subscribed.
Max scooting across the floor is the cutest thing. I remember baking bread with my kiddos when they were little. Such great memories ❤!
What a dream come true. We can live with the land on our own terms. I’m so encouraged. Thank you
💕 It does really feel like you´ve "landed" as a family in this video. Wow, I love the sound of nature, silence and all the green.
Put a regular table in your outdoor space. You will like it more than s picnic table. You can put an indoor-outdoor rug under it and it will feel like a part of the home. Rather than just a outdoor space. I did this and it is my favorite place to have coffee.
Well done Dana, the sourdough bread! 😃 I've also been discouraged years ago, because I couldn't get the starter going. Now I'm inspired by you to not give up and just keep on trying. 👍😊 You all are doing so well and I'm sure Freya has got a good life together with you. Lots of love as always 🌻💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Oh that makes me so happy to hear you were inspired to keep trying!! It really is an art, but one that you can eat along the way, haha! Thank you for the kind words and your joyful rainbow hearts, they always put such a big smile on my face :) lots of love toyou too ❤
I appreciate how intentional you are with every task. Wanting max to be a part of everything. Just watching this helps me heal some of my childhood neglect. ❤
Max has got to be the happiest kid I've ever seen! Granted, I don't see a lot of him, but even so, it's amazing! I guess having the sweetest mom and dad in the world help a lot! :) Freya is a beautiful dog and I so understand what you're saying. Dogs need boundaries, especially the working ones! You're doing such a wonderful job up there! I love watching!
I am about to give birth to my first baby, and I just find you so inspiring. You are so calm and great at including Max in everything you do, teaching him wonderful everyday things with a playful spirit - such a beautiful and lovely mother you are!
Send that delicious bread over to Scotland. I well test it for you!!! Freya is a happy healthy dog . She is amazing with Max. You and Lou in the kitchen hugging is what it's all about . Stay happy. ❤
Haha yay so glad you think the bread looked good!! And thanks for the kind words, super encouraging :) Sending big hugs across the pond to you in Scotland ❤
Dana, you have such a thankful spirit and genuine delight in life. It’s a joy to watch and inspiring!
Dogs typically love crates. It like an instinctual dog cave. People sometimes think it’s cruel. It’s not. They love it.
Her crate is her safe space, beautiful dog , beautiful family, everything looks wonderful 👍👍👍 , watch y'all all the time,
The sound of Freyas little paws paddling in the water ❤❤❤❤
Right?? She loves her doggie swims!! So cute ❤ Glad you enjoyed watching :)
I love dresses in the summer, too!
What a lovely video, such genuine honesty and a real reflection of a loving and caring family. It was very sweet if you to reassure viewers about Freya, dogs are quite happy having their own space and a routine, just like babies! Keep going the way you are, it's a pleasure to be able to share in your wonderful life journey. Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words, Emma!! So nice of you and really encouraging :) Thank you for spending time with us today!! Hope the rest of your Sunday is really lovely ❤
Carefull disrupting the roots of your newly growing plants. They can get what's called replant shock and die. Keep as much dirt and roots around each section of plant you're splitting while transferring to your garden.
Thanks so much for that insight, Mariah!! Replant shock, never heard of that, very much appreciate you sharing your knowledge as we are learning ❤ Hope you are having a nice Sunday!!
Congrats on the Sourdough. Dana, you are such an amazing mom. I feel like I say this ever week, but I love how you involve Max in everything and make him a part of the process. He is such a happy, inquisitive child because of great parenting. Thank you for sharing your lives with us . Blessing to your family. 😍😍😍
Glad to see Max almost walking around now❤
There’s just something so satisfying about a fresh baked loaf of bread, even when it’s not quite perfect.
What a great way to explain crating dogs! You guys are amazing with Freya. We've crated ours off and on and they love their crate. It's def. their safe, chill out space. They go in and out of them all day, sometimes choosing the crate over hanging out with me on the couch in the evenings.
Fun video as usual. Sourdough gets better with practice. Freja is such a good dog!
Such a good job on the bread :)
My daughter had a German Shepherd just like Freya and she had to do the same! Freya looks very happy and for sure she is living her best life!
Hello, As always you let all of us into you peaceful and private world, and it.s lovely. So happy your sour dough worked too.NICE!!!
Great video this week - nice to see you settling into a homely routine. I smiled when I saw you walking with Max on your hip - that’s what I did when my daughter was small with her little hand holding on to my clothing. - when he look back I can’t remember when I last carried her and I feel nostalgic - so treasure every moment. Also I want to say that anyone who has watched how both you and Lou have loved and trained Freya could not question her treatment. It is a fact that a dog needs its own place where it feels relaxed, safe and as you said off duty - the cage is perfect for her to retire to sleep. Any respected dog trainer would tell you the same. Have a great week - practice will make perfect on the bread making 👏👏😊
Loved this video. So real.
Our dog loves his crate. It's his happy place. Great explanation.
We have a working line GSD as well and hes a dream!! Now that is 😂. Hes 4 and is the house protector now, no crate. His first nearly 4 years he was crated as well but has finally reached trustworthiness ❤
He sounds like the most lovely dog!! ❤ Big cuddles to him and big hugs to you!
You're such a good mom and person so is Luo he's a great dad and person ❤️ 🎉
Starts to become a real fairy tale!
Love this homely video. Enjoy your day beautiful people ❤
Well done with the sourdough bread, it looked amazing. It is definitely a process isnt it, but your perseverance paid off. Freja is an amazing dog and she is so attentive with all of you, great with Max and seeing her reaction to the attention you gave her Dana was lovely. She has been well trained and is a happy beautiful dog. Have a good week x
The trick is every time you use or discard some of your sourdough starter when you feed it again with more flour and water make sure that there’s more flour in there than is the volume of whatever your starter that’s left. you have to give it more than what’s in there. For example if the remaining starter is an inch high in the jar you would need to add a bit over another inch of flour and add enough water to make the consistency you like. Good luck.
You have a beautiful piece of land with views that will constantly remind you of the beauty~! 💚
Great video! I am so surprised that people were concerned about Freya. My husband and I have been watching your channel since you were living in Berlin. And recently we always comment on how Freya has the dream dog situation in your current set up, for a big working dog, having all that land during the day and people around all the time is an amazing life for a dog. We never managed to crate train our tiny dog, but dogs who are properly crate trained usually love their crates, as their own peaceful place, which you explained really well. Our vet also told us that properly crate trained dogs get a lot less stressed if they have to stay at the vets for any reason; surgery etc.
33:30 you DID!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 You did it and it turned out so beautiful!!
Love this video!
what a beautiful kid ❤
Thanks so much ❤
yay mama! Its such a nice relief to hit a goal like that, one that's been nagging you. Bread looks delicious.
You guys are so wonderful and I never take for granted the bravery it takes for you guys to let us in the way you do. Sending love and light to your beautiful family ❤
Great video!! ❤
Your little munchkin is two and a half seconds away from walking. Yay, Max.
Wow fantastic job of the bread and the garden xo
So calming….
Thank you, strangerontheinternets (love your username, too!) ❤
Your kitchen is looking amazing and i really love this type of chill content :) !!
For the bread to rise it needs some warmth and a tea towel over them, but it looked good.
💚u guys. congrats on the sourdough!
You guys have done such a great job with Freja. She is doing exactly what she wants and needs to do. People don’t realize crates are dogs safe places and resting zones. Especially when she is in place that’s such an awesome training skill. That is one i have not been able to master with my boys but they do down and stay when told so it works to an extent. Its hard to train two dogs in a small space lmao. Also one is an American bulldog and he’s super smart but is such a bully and pretends to not know what I’m saying lmao. My other dog is a heeler mix and he gets it in seconds so it’s been a joy to work with them. Good job on everything guys. I love watching your videos and see your growth. You will be a bread master in no time girl.
This was beautiful. I loved the shots in this video!🥰
Thank you so much, that really means a lot :) Glad you like our pace!! Wishing you a really nice rest of your Sunday, Grace ❤
Of course! Wishing you the same!@@WildWeRoam
There are some people who abuse crates so I do get the worry sometimes. All of my dogs, chihuahua, American bull dog and staffy all are night crate trained and take them selves to bed at 10pm ready for wake up at 5am. It’s nice you explained though for the people at the back 🙌
I miss you !
❤ Dana, your bread is a big success 🎉 because either it will be great for sammiches, dipping in dips, soup or stew, chili. But you know the taste of sourdough. ❤❤❤❤ it looks amazing🎉🎉
Personally, I love sleeping with my Golden, but I also totally understand crate sleeping is a good option, too. Do you worry about Freya getting too hot since her crate is not in the container with the AC unit?
We crate our dog at night for the same reasons and he will put himself to bed also. The bread looks delicious!
I love home baked bread and rolls
Simple living earnings by sweat of truth
The way that Max actually mimicked you with the white shirt and tried to say "to the kitchen"! I am not sure you caught that, but honestly he is so smart and clever, and a quick learner. About Freya and the crate, I think for most of us Europeans, crating your dog is not a big thing here, I've always seen it as a very American thing to do. I know 3 different people with German Shepherds, and they have never and will never crate. That being said, Freya has been used to it since she was a pup, because you guys trained it with her, so I am sure she feels comfortable doing it.
People need to calm down with this whole crate business, I shared a video of our greyhound on Insta with his crate in the background and everyone went mad.. If a dog is crate trained, the crate is the correct size, there is no issue! Freya obviously needs cool down time otherwise she is constantly working and the crate is that space for her and she knows that. For our Parmi the crate was only used the first month after we adopted him as we got it recommended by the adoption agency (greyhounds from the racing industry is not house trained AT ALL, so everything is new to them when they get adopted out) so it was a safe space for him where he knew he was left alone in this new environment he was in when he needed it.
I loved this video btw, your place is really coming together and you guys seem to fit in so well :) Love from New Zealand
Freja looks powerfully healthy. I can totally relate to what you are saying about the crate being her downtime. She really is a working dog. Enjoyed this a lot, after what feels like my not seeing you for awhile.( big push for a lot of us, these past two months) Really liked the very quiet parts, that feel like getting a loving look into your quiet time. Max is having a wonderful experience with you as his mother. Truly blessed, on that land. I couldn't help but notice your pineapple-looking jars.( the texture) Where'd you get them? I have those same hooks here, in black, and your baskets as shelves are great. And i also thought of how much fun you could have with SCOBYs making kombucha. Making fruit leather with them, and rawhide chews for Freja. Congratulations on the sourdough! My big excitement currently is juice pulp bread that is a little like a loaded pumperknickel. Next up, is a "triple kimmel" version. Lovely to see you all, looking settled and home after so much work.
I love to bake bread😇
Bread looks yummy..love your dog Freya she is a gorgeous dog………
Great start on your bread making! You may get the results you are hoping for if you use smaller bowls (lined with a floured tea towel) for the final rise. This forces the dough to rise upward instead of outward. But looks aren't everything- your reactions to the taste test say that you are on the right track!
❤
Try feeding you're starter with rye flour! That's what bakers use.
Isnt it amazing what moms can do with 1 hand & a baby on their hip?!
I feel your pain with the sourdough starter.
I have a question, are you guys worried about ticks at all? We are moving to New England, and the tick thing is Real there. What about your area?
♥️👍
use the pot to make a hole, then remove the plant and put it in the hole :)
Dana You have been wearing the most adorable dresses. Are you making these/ (if not where can I get them)?
Do you guys have any recommendations on how we can help the people in Hawaii?
At 21:45 Max said: “ We did it.” Did anybody else hear it?
That dog is totally hungry
Perfect housewife
Has anyone ever mentioned your voice sounds very similar to Margaret Qualley
Working line dogs can be trained to sleep outside of a crate. But I don’t see anything wrong with her sleeping in a crate especially since she gets tons of mental and physical stimulation all day long. Everyone needs their sleep.
My dog sleeps in a crate.
Hi Dana, thanks for explaining about Freya and her sleeping in a crate. I dont know enough/nothing about dog training, let alone 'work line' dog training.
To me, it just felt so sad she had to be in a crate. It looked small to me, for a big (hyper)active dog like Freya to have to stay in. And she looked so relieved (and bit scared) when she was released.
But, thats all part of a work line dog, i guess. Wanting to protect her pack/family 24/7. That she might overwork herself, next to you not getting any more sleep ever again.
Ofcourse there are sadly enough many many many animals that have it realy bad.
And yes I worry about them, about factory farming animals, animals used for testing, for entertainment and for clothing, and... (I went vegan for a reason)
Does that mean I cant ask 'critical' questions about the treatment of individual animals?
Especially because you guys are vegan, I was realy and just wonder if and why it was in the best intrest of Freya.
So again thanks for explaining.
Stil not sure if Freya herself would prefer staying out and on the watch with more movement freedom...
But I do understand that that will cost you your sleep, because in the woods always 'somebody' to bark/warn/scare away.
They did an amazing job explaining how loved she is and how they have her best interest at heart. Freya needs to rest and not be defending the property all night. Its not just about keeping them awake but Freya needs rest too. Working dogs are very different than a lap dogs.
A lot of dogs love their crates because they're just like dog houses. She explained it very well for those that don't understand or no anything about working dogs. The dog needs to rest and the crate gives her sequirity to do so. Dogs need sleep just like humans. do. Freya can't be on 24/7. I believe her completely that Freya goes in it even before it time to put her to bed because Freya wants to be in it. That dog has the best life. Freya is a very lucky dog to have them. I'm sorry but It's almost as ridiculous you questioning them about why that poor little baby has to sleep behind those wooden bars. Im sure he'd prefer to roam wild.
@@RealityandCommonSense
That is a ridiculous comment.
The vast majority of the world consider crates to be abusive and they are totally unnecessary.
Millions of dogs around the world outside America (including working line dogs) live perfectly free, healthy, happy lives without being locked in a cell at night
How old is your boy now?
Hi Julie!! Around 15 months :)
@@WildWeRoam He’s growing up so fast!!!
I love seeing you in a dress carrying a baby around 🥰🥰
Im sure you meant this as a positive comment, but honestly, what kind of weird tradwife sentiment is that? Why does it matter what she’s wearing???
If you're sure I meant it as a positive comment (which I did), why does it bother you so much?@@jackiedunleavy9862
@@jackiedunleavy9862It sounds like they meant she looks beautiful in the dress. Especially so with her sweet baby. I thought the same. Gotta look for the positive. ❤
You guys are such beautiful lovely people, I love seeing your daily routine and your interactions with your beautiful baby. I want you to know that your joy can be complete by knowing Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the son of God, he was sent to Earth to redeem us from our sins so that we could have peace with God and with each other. You already live a good life, but you may not have a good relationship with God the father. He loves you so much and he created all the beauty around you that you enjoy so much every day. I'm hoping that this message will reach you and that it will touch your spirit so that you know that it is truth. God bless you and please feel free to respond if you would like
There are other animals to worry about..........or said another way, mind your own business, we'll treat our dog however we want
you are such a sweet couple, made for each other, but at the same time you are so weird. Please do not take it as an offense, but you are far from any community and I do not find this healthy. Good luck with all your projects.
