Funny, you mentioned burning symbols of your old life. I did the same thing with all the postal clothes I had to wear as a letter carrier. Note to self...stand further from the burn barrel when burning polyester fabrics. They stink! Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Ron.
@BossoftheSwamp has always been a source of brilliant ideas. And you as well. I love your water set up. Thanks for sharing your projects and philosophies with us. 😊
Those shelves are shaping up beautifully! That hard work is paying off. You have showed us your water system before. But interesting to see it again. Looks like you and pup are surviving the winter just fine. I have a small and a large Stanley Thermos. Guess I am old school. I like the ole green ones. The way they were growing up! ;)
Thanks 👍 Yep I had the original one for my coffee for many years. Even had the lunchbox one that fit into the lid when I was in school. I wish I still had it it’s probably worth something today.😂
Funny you should bring up "decluttering". I've been doing that for the last 2 weeks. Going thru everything. Amazing what I DON'T need that I thought I did. Your shelves are coming along beautifully. Can't wait to see the finished project.
I totally understand the stress factor. I worked doing fiber optic fed data systems for big business like Discover card, Abbott Labs, Bank One and others. Try dumping all their data in 1 second. Just a little stress. It will kill you if you let it. It's easy these days to get caught up in the rat race. Great video
Peace is so much better then “stuff”. I can so relate to what you are saying about fashion, things and stuff. I have what I need and really my wants are tiny. Maybe another garden bed. 🤣 That’s about it. I am happy with simplicity. I could careless about what is “trendy”. And, I’m happy. 👍 Great vid as always!
Hey Ron! Always happy when I get to watch a new video from you. Glad you are well. Keep on Keepin on! Blessings for 2024. PS: How did you de-clutter sentimental ideas when you left your large home: year books, items from childhood, etc. These items are the most difficult for me to let go of. Yet I know they are not needed as the memories are in my heart and head.
I remember the jeep you had when you first started, and the first thing I said was “ it won’t be long until that goes”. And you just explained why. That’s why us briths love our land rover defenders.
LOL, i havent bought a new pair of tennis shoes in this lifetime of 68 yrs as of yesterday that cost me over $25.....I think i may have gone $29 once...I look at some of the prices in the stores of those things and i just cant believe how much they are....I got a pair right now i paid $24 for and im on my 4th yr of wearing them...Dont get me wrong, they look like 4 yr old worn shoes, but it more than works for me.....5 yrs ago i got a $100 gift card from BIG 5 Sporting goods....Went in there and bought 4 pairs of tennis shoes and one pair of cheap hiking boots for a $129...Hiking boots still look brand new and ive only touched 1 pair of those tennis shoes to date....Point is, i have a shoes for the rest of my life for what you pay for one pair of these shoes today...
🙏 so far so good. I had one big tree top come down. Luckily it missed the mill area just by feet. I have had 4-5” of rain in the last week. I’m high and dry though. Lots of run off. Thanks for thinking of me. I should have a new video by Saturday.👍
Hi there!! Long time no see!! I kept on thinking about your Mountainside there!! It either looked like something out of a horror movie or a fantasy movie!! LOL!!
Great walk and talk Ron. Every time I move something I ask myself now, do I need it? You just made me think again about a trailer full still at my folks, I need to bring it here and go through it and get rid of a lot of stuff in it. You take care bud. Just did a Bing watch from a couple months off YTUBE. enjoy
Great video. I apologize if you've already mentioned this, but what are the dimensions of your cabin? We're trying to figure out how small of a cabin we want when we take the leap. Thanks! 😊
No need to apologize, I will always answer anything if I can.👊 336 square feet. I will talk a little more on this in the next video. Thanks for the question..!!
How your water smell? I’ve noticed with our little dam it needs to be cleaned out or the smell of the water from the leaf litter and other debris get pretty bad. Even when the water is flowing.
A perfectionist heart, perfectionist skill and the drive to build a beautiful homestead. Simply wonderful to see what you have accomplished!
Wow, thank you!

😂😂 ya it definitely burns hotter and stinks

My pleasure!
That’s why he’s the Boss and I’m just a student.👊

Time to replenish the water. Thanks for the video.
I already filled once. I will fill me more time in May or June.

Love that! Thank you.👍 Lots of work and time but I know I will be pleased with the outcome.

Boy that was a big job back in the day.👊
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

Yep, people buy what they want, and maybe something that's a tiny bit more convenient, but not necessarily needed.

Thanks for watching all these years..!! 👊
Those defender 90’s are awesome. Especially with that V8. What a great engine and fun vehicle.
@@offgridhomesteadingmcgarve1494 90% of all landrover defenders are still on the road with DIY maintenance. The new ones won’t be like that.
Still my favorite channel on UA-cam!
I'm not a fan of a lot of things (Nike) but I'll still wear them if I get them cheap enough. 😁
Oh…. Thank you so much I’m sure glad you enjoy it.!!👊
Only if it’s a deal….😂
Great video. Nice to see your water filtering and heating setup.
Glad you enjoyed it

That’s my kind of shopping..!!👊
Awesome video, have a great day
Thanks! You too!
Hoping you are okay with all the bad weather, it looks like you may be underwater. Caution and be well!
🙏 so far so good. I had one big tree top come down. Luckily it missed the mill area just by feet.
I have had 4-5” of rain in the last week. I’m high and dry though. Lots of run off.

Meal looks good.
Thank you 😋
Hi there!! Long time no see!! I kept on thinking about your Mountainside there!! It either looked like something out of a horror movie or a fantasy movie!! LOL!!
I really want to lower our truck back to stock height. Unfortunately that will need to wait until we get another truck to use during mud season.
The older I get the lower I want it.👊
The clutter definitely stresses me out. I know it’ll get better though.
Great walk and talk Ron. Every time I move something I ask myself now, do I need it?

Good to hear from you..!!👊
Question for you. Did you make that piece of furniture you berkey sits on? It looks like a very nice piece!
Yes I did. I will talk about this more in my next video.
Thank you for the question..!!👊

If there areany other questions on the cabin let me know and I I’ll address them as well.👊
Will do, thanks!
🤎🐕💨
Are we going to meet your son some time? I agree with you about fashion and bringing work home with you. I try to avoid both.
Hopefully. I will talk about more in my next video.
Thanks for the question.👊

No smell so far. Nice to talk to you two on the phone.🤘
