    In these times, I think the family property is the smartest thing any family could do. Homesteaders will be the only survivers. Great job. Congrats to the family.

    I was just watching CRC were they were digging a hole for the gray water. You can drain it into the ground just make sure it goes down hill away from camp. Put some small rocks over the hose at the end to keep it from getting moved and change places every once in a while. You guys should of had the crew that did the roads dig you a hole and dumped some rocks in the bottom to dump you black water in. There's videos on line that show how to do it.

    • @sandracurtis9911
      @sandracurtis9911 3 роки тому +1

      Oh and leave the gray water tank open that way just a little at a time drains out instead a bunch at a time. It drains into to the ground better.

Rosie and had hope to attend the meetup and meet everyone, but with the weather I did not want to take Rosie out on the road. Hopefully next time!

  • @myquerio5
    @myquerio5 3 роки тому +1

    I have been following your channel for a while now, but never commenting until now .. this is perhaps my favorite video because, all of your family is together in a camp style setting and making the best of what you got. I know that it may not be the best living situation, but with everyone working together, the love out weighs it all. I have always wanted to go back to living off of the land without all of the modern technology (maybe some ... let's not go overboard) and the materialistic stuff. Just simple family camping for maybe a month or two is all it would take to make me happy ... Simple Life Reclaimed is enough for me.
    Stay Safe and enjoy the time with loved ones while it lasts.

    That’s one huge tarp! Reminds me of the times we rednecked our campsites for the same reason. Keep in mind though, the bigger the tarp, the more wind can lift it from underneath. Looking forward to seeing how you all rig it up👍Also you may want to consider finding some pallets for the floor in the storage tents. Great job so far, love these vlogs ❤️

    Great to see the kids having so much fun on a home made seesaw. Remember to use it as a science lesson about simple machines, levers and inclines.
    Another simple idea: dont burn your big pieces of card board as they are. Cut them into 2-3 inch wide strips, and wind them around some birthday candles for fire starters. Can also be wound into a "tuna" can with wax poured over them for a replacement for sterno heater.

    Hello from Kentucky,We always used a huge tarp above our camp site with ratchet straps and rope.We would camp for a week at a time and the tarp was good for shade and when it rained. My husband put a long metal pole onto a heavy duty plastic base and drilled holes in another metal pole that would slide up and down in the pole and you could put a nail in the hole at different heights,the pole that slide down was rounded off smooth so it wouldnt tear the tarp.Used it for a long time.Love watching ya'll journey.
