Are you surprised at how many views your getting homesteading the jungle? We're enjoying it a lot. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey.
We've always been surprised about the views, we're fortunate
Really really enjoying this!
Almeida tree eat them red
That shrimp we called it guavara
Build a tree house
Love seeing the kitties! Thank you for rescuing them!!!
You guys need to bump this channel up to two videos a week for now. This is way more interesting than sailing. Good job!
I Most Definitely Agree!!! 👍👍😁😎
Don’t watch!
@@My_Fair_Lady Their is a lot of sailing channels you can move to.
Totally agreed. I came across their videos on their transitioning to homesteading two weeks ago. No idea with their sailing adventure videos lol. I'm sticking with this.
We tried doing five vids a month for all of 2022 and it almost killed us😂😅 we do everything in house so once a week is our max. It means alot to us that u like them
With 8 acres in this tropical rainforest,the potential is out of this world!
Your Backhoe Operator is a Legend.
Those chick's are too darn cute!! Cannot wait to watch them grow!
Your UA-cam channel went from good to GREAT! Congratulations!!
Congratulations on your new family. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work.
You should plant some of that devil's lettuce in the garden for when pops comes to visit😉🤙
Lol I have already told him to keep it on the other side of the river 😂😅
I’ll send seeds ???
You guys should look into building a shipping container house, especially with the hurricanes.
Goats eat anything and you can rent them out to clear out properties like yours. We had a really famous case of renting goats here. There was this very historic cemetery that got over ran by poison ivy and other really hard to get rid of pesky plant. They didn't want to go through and rip out all the old rose bushes or trees and such. So they rented goats and they ate their way into clearing everything they wanted gone. It worked like a charm and the goats got to eat tons oh stuff.
I hope this comes to fruition Matt & Kristen. Thats a great piece of heaven you guys have as well.
As someone who has built a house in a jungle you need to get loads of gravel on your road as soon as possible. you will need to be putting it down a few time over the next few years. other wise when it rains you won't be able to do any work. it will be to muddy. I have the same red soil and as someone from Canada, it will be slippery than ice. Also if the road is a hill you need to crown the road so that the rain water doesn't run down the road but off to the side. this will stop large ruts from forming.
Yes and start with large stone. Mix in smaller.
I'm not sure what country they are in but here in Costa Rica there is not the rock like we can get in north america. they mine the rocks out of the rivers. We have to take care of the road ourselves. we didn't use big rock but it is important direct the water to stop erosion. we lined the road with cement half pipes. that makes all the difference.
@@elmarco777 Historically, many costal towns in the US used oyster, clam shells and sand.
That red soil would be perfect for potatoes and carrots! Getting chicken Hatch rate over 50% is a success! I have 3 of 9 tweeting in my office right now.
Matt,
Get you a used 55 gallon drum; and burn your wood waste in it. After burning take the ache and layer them over your garden patch. Then work it in with a rack. This will add potassium to your soil; an ingredient in fertilizer. Also, you have chickens; scrape up the chicken crap and add it to the soil in the same manner as the ash. This will add nitrogen another component of fertilizer. You have all that you need to fertilize your garden patch.
The way my mother taught me to plant is as follows. Always, add three seeds to each hole: one for the earth, one to harvest, and one for the LORD. The best on y'all's new venture.
Cheers and Blue Skies.
Faithfully,
James
OK. Early morning spelling isn't great, evidently...ha... That was supposed to be ash not ache, but maybe you can spread out the ache as well...ha...
@@engineeringconsulting5534 be nice
awesome!
Better yet - google biochar
The best part of this adventure is learning as you go.
It's looking good. Getting a tractor with a bucket and bushhog is a must. A small 4x4 tractor would be all you need. Without the tractor you will spend all your time trying to keep the area from growing up.
Looks like you’re almost at 200K. I think this’ll be more popular than the sailing videos.👏
You need to collect the guavas and make some jelly, you can Google to find out how to do it. You also need to cut the dry leaves from the banana trees. Whenever the banana is full you need to cut the entire tree down, don't cut off the fruit and leave the tree standing. The almond can be eaten when they are ripe, they will turn yellow or redistributed when ripe.
Oh my oh my what glorious rich land you have!❤❤ This is getting exciting!! The baby chicks are too adorable❤ She's a good mama! And the kittens are hilarious! So stinking cute! You two are in paradise❤❤
Definitely my new favorite Sunday YT channel
Thank you!!
I miss the boating content but all the best wishes to you both.
@15:45 It would be cool to get an aerial shot like this, but outline your property border to give us an idea of what's yours.
Those cats when they get bigger , will love snacking on the baby chickens !
We always put a string down the middle of where we plant the seeds tied to a piece of rebar or stick on both ends. This year I also labeled what was planted at end of row with the seed packet.
Great progress! Somehow I just can't shake the idea of getting Pete Nelson of Treehouse Masters there but then hurricane season came to mind, never mind.
"The jungle will heal itself", you will soon be finding out just how quickly that happens! As long as you live there your primary task (once your house and infrastructure are completed) will be trying to stop the jungle from claiming your land back.
What a beautiful episode!!!
We have 6 acres and one of the best tools we bought was an ATV with the little dump bed on back.
Beautiful land and gorgeous rocky creek, you have a piece of paradise there!
Clearing limits are the most important task to keep all you can and see what you want to see. If the “pasture” drains well and doesn’t stay under water for weeks at a time, plant a clover. Just about any clover will spread fast, choke out weeds, and work to keep erosion to a minimum. The homestead is looking good. Bamboo, bamboo, bamboo.
I turned on my Tablet this morning and the first pop up was you pair. As a result, it's gonna be a great day. Property is starting to look like a plantation. ❤❤❤❤
Awesome video guys!!! Looking great!! Congrats on all the babies!!!!
Perfect , it’s nice to see you getting to assess the landscape. I definitely think horses 🐎 are on the cards . You already have the boots 🥾
😃👍👍👍❤ Congrats for the new baby chicks. Thanks for another great video. 200K subscribers very soon! Bye from Seattle, WA.
Chicks, I believe those are puffs or poofs… from Tacoma, WA here
Great machine operater driver ! He gets an amazing amount done with a relatively small scoop blade . Impressive .
Your wife’s choice of music truly makes the videos seem so warm and heartfelt. All part of the little things that make a great UA-camr stand out , great drone shots, great commentary , fab music in background and high quality resolution. All of this with your two personalities draw the viewer in. An interesting adventure your life has taken you on Kudos from canada
❤ You guys excited to see whrts next God bless you both, prayers for wisdom for success 🌈🙏😍🇦🇺🇺🇸
Absolutely the right move in hiring someone with the equipment to do that clearing. Not that Larry Laminate couldn’t do it but your time is better utilized with planning the layout. You can’t plan when your stuck in the weeds.
I’m so excited about your little jungle, paradise, and all the things you are doing to transform it into a garden spot at home. I love all the good advice that people are giving you like get a tractor. You need some goats plant clover in your field to stop erosion and be sure to do drainage pipes around your house when you build.
Good luck with the almonds. Damn birds know EXACTLY when to strip your tree bare!!!!
Cool to see cleared land. I was worried you be living up by the street after first video. Happy only cleared what you need
That is amazing about the chix! I can't believe how many hatched. I said eat those eggs when she first started laying for you. I stand corrected.
Can't wait to see what type of home you're building!
I've always loved the "Swiss family Disney tree house" idea of living
Put a tractor/backhoe on your wish list. As your farm grows you will realize how practical and useful the equipment will be. Only have five acres in central New York but I use it daily for one chore or another. 👍
They're so expensive!! Ima jus get a mule
Are you in Parish NY?
First he needs a professional to do most of the clearing. Tractors are really useful but also expensive. I also use mine daily, but he is not ready for one!
@@kevio6868 Actually was born there. Live in Lysander for the past 30 yrs.
@@geraldmiller6679 Totally agree. He has youth & health going for him now. Age tends to create the need for machinery. lol
Man you guys are living an amazing life in all that beautiful land, can’t wait to see your home bieng built on that land in the near future!
Remember if you clear most of everything,it’s going to grow back very fast. Careful of exotic biting bugs . Snakes etc . I do miss your sailing adventures .
Please extend your building pad 5'-0" beyond the building foundation on all sides. Building pad is the earth work, soil, foundation prep. If you include side walks, porches attached/detached garages, out buildings then include that then add 5ft.
When you guys stopped sailing, i thought i would lose interest. I now enjoy your vids even more much to my surprise. Your doing what I wish I could. Keep on keeping on!!
more progress each week . the most important thing is you're having fun. Little by little , you'll get it done. Love the baby chicks. I guess the hardest thing with chickens is keeping the varmits away.
Good morning g b u family,it’s great to see these two people every week,be careful and have fun with this,great job kids.
We rented a garden. And we put a bunch of compost and dirt in the garden bed. And then I covered it with a bunch of mulch. For a while after that I though "what did I do, I killed everything and nothing is growing". Then, at some point the plants started pushing through the mulch. A few weeks later that garden was growing non stop. Pretty much a harvest every few days. I think it was mostly mint. It was growing strong until the City came and took the garden back, and put a big cement train station in its place. Leave it to city planners to cement and pave over everything. One of the other gardeners (with two bright green thumbs) told me the wisest think I heard about gardening. "It is a process.There is a process of the plants breaking down into nutrients, and there is a proccess of the plants growing. The garden is always in various stages between those two."
The thing that gives me hope you may survive this new chapter of your life is your ability to get along and learn from the locals. Will be interesting to see the learning process along the way.
Now that you have opened it up you can see The true beauty of that pc of land you have it's absolutely Breathtaking
So cool that you are being aware and concern about your impact on the land.
It was crazy, we left the majority untouched but still it's amazing to see what an immediate impact u can have
I gotta say, im fairly a new subscriber but now im emotionally involved with Roxanes babys ❤
Great video. Beautiful property you have. Enjoying watching you clear the land. Such cute little peeps, Thanks for sharing,
I would def recommend David the good's channel to get you growing. He even had a spot in the jungle similar to you guys at one point
Congrats on the little peeps
It looks good on the land
Thank you for the video
Good on you for respecting the land and integrating instead of conquering. Respect! We have a sailboat in Puerto Real and look forward to our return in a month. It would be awesome to run into you! If you ever see S/V Juwannago PLEASE come say hi!
No way! Those were Bristle nose Plecos in the stream! I breed them here in Michigan. I didn't realize they were in such fast moving water.... I guess I could give them more flow in their tanks
Matt you need a EMU or Ostrich for sure
I love seeing how excited you two get over your new way of life!!!
This is awesome! My family is moving to a New 20 acre Farm in November. I plan on documenting our experience.
Whew! 20 acres is massive
What a beautiful place!!
Hey Matt and Kristen 👋. Your little piece of heaven on earth is really shaping up. Quite a bit done since last week. Thanks for sharing. Y'all take care, be safe. See ya next week.
Matt i really was looking forward to you operating the big dog machine
The video just started and I’m in at 168 already. Green Acres is the place to be.
You're doing good. Some culling is good.
3:00 what i would of done is sow the seeds in pots to a certain size before planting them in the field.
That's what I'm gonna have to do
Soil conservation will pay big rewards going forward. Nothing worse than clearing out a section and have it wash away. A rolling chicken coop will make life easier in the the long run for you and the chickens.
I think the backhoe guy knows what he’s doing
Keep up the good work
Loved Fern Gully! You guys a perfect forest keepers💚💚💚
great start ...... hope the rain and cold doesn't stop you 🖐🖐
I hired a forestry mulcher to clear 3 acres in the center of my 7 acres... Only took one day. Love what yall are doing with your land. Can't wait to see the house build. I'm planning to use 40 ft shipping containers x3.
Looks great, you have a great outlook and your digger driver done a great job. Well done to you all🎉🎉🎉
What a great new adventure you’re having! It’s very heart warming to see so many little critters becoming a part of your new homestead. I was glad to see the backhoe guy was doing a great job, and listening to you as he went along. I’ve learned the most important person on a backhoe crew is the guy on the ground. Congratulations on making a smooth transition from full time sailing to homesteading! It would seem that your success with UA-cam videos was always more about who you are, not just about sailing. Happy Sunday Matt and Kristen!
I love watching ya'll developing this beautiful homestead.
Very cool. Awesome Adventure.
New subscriber. 🙂
I’m so much happier to watch the videos now that you are on the land. 😊.
You guys should consider building a stilt house, it's will more suitable for the jungle area
Wow! Look how your channel has grown! Love watching your “jungle adventure” journey. 👏👏👍
I just had my land stolen in Belize. A year of trauma so I’m watching you guys with a tad of sadness as your journey was stolen from me. To make matters worse I hit the thief in a self defence situation and I ended up in jail then was brutally treated by the police. So, well done you two!
Great entertainment for me! Being a retired farmer, you are doing just fine. I observe what comes up in the row as it grows. Out side the row would be something else. Won’t be long and you will know. Love your videos!
I’m here for the journey ❤
Love the way you think about the environment and living things before clearing.
Great job!
Keep the shells slightly moist with a light spray otherwise there is no chance for the little ones to get out without help. Best of luck with the chicks.
Starting your garden in starter pots makes everything easier, especially with the small scale that you are doing it on. That way you KNOW what you are planting. Than plant them when 3-5 inches tall chicken wire cage around to protect them from animals wanting to eat them. Hope this helps. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
You could take inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Waters house when you plan your build. Nice job. Plant some avocados and a bilimbi.
Kristan, I don’t know if it’s because you’re not living in a washing machine anymore but this was by far your best editing in YEARS! Pat yourself on the back, I know how much time it takes to do this and you got skills woman…congrats on the new property. You have your own lil slice of paradise there AND still have the boat.
I grew up in the PR, loved the rainforest and all the wild fruits
He is a skilled machine operator
Looks awesome! Time for a small Bobcat so u can shape the land yourself as needed. That is a beautiful piece of land congratulations
Hey guys, been watching you for years and look forward to Sunday mornings when your new vids come out to see what you've been up to. Not trying to be bossy but be careful on how much land you clear down to dirt all at once as it will become a giant mud hole if not careful. Just a suggestion but the grassy areas could be brush hogged with a tractor and rotary mower which would knock the big stuff down but keep the roots and grass to hold the soil together. Be safe, love you guys!
You make a good point at the right time.
you guys are great people for taking care of those kittens, your kindness is one of the reason I watch your channel
Always followed the sailing videos and now even more excited to watch the land version 👍🏻
Thank you! Glad u like it
I did wander about the mosquito's . Great news to hear the bats are eating them all . I'm really excited to see where you take us with this guys. Good Luck.
This jungle content is fascinating, even better than the sailing imo
It’s very uncommon that all eggs hatch. 90% hatch rate is pretty good if the eggs don’t hatch after 23 days they aren’t going to
You have made a great jump,you have a lot to learn but that is the best growth for life! Loving the new vibe,I’ll be watching!
The episode I’ve been waiting for!! Happy to see some equipment there. I was worried for you Matt. 💪🏻
With the chickens crush the food down into small pieces so the babies can eat easier. And put electrolytes in their water they have a much better chance of surviving. You can buy it in little packages or you can use Gatorade. If the water dish is more then two inches deep put marbles or stones in the water bowl so the chicks don't drown. Have fun with the chickens they are so cute
