Creating Our Off Grid RV Pad on our Raw Land | Time to pivot

- We really had high hopes for our 700 ft. long circular driveway on our land, but getting started mid July after an incredibly rainy spring was pressing us on time with our limited resources. So we finally (late August) decided to pivot our plans, and create an RV pad closer to the road so that we can start living on it before leaving in November.
Obviously it seemed easier in our heads than it turned out to be in reality... BUT, did we actually get a usable RV pad created in time?
Here's a recap of our process, still working with our old Case tractor and lots of loads of road base and crusher run. We're SO CLOSE!
Yes outside showers are awesome! Lol. But I agree inside is easier. 😂 Especially in the winter! Nice work on the pad guys. Really starting to come together ❤️ You'll get there. Keep going strong. 💪✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦❤️
@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid I'll have to try the outdoor shower next summer 🤪 Thanks!! 😘♥️
"Iits getting real", for sure, the struggles are real
Ha, that should be the new channel name. 🤪 Man, have we learned that lesson. We found digging out the wet clay and muddy topsoil has helped tremendously. You're right - if the soft soil is deep, "drying" doesn't do much.
You guys NEED to watch a video on the proper way to use a chain hook. You're going to damage the chain which can make it break and fly back hurting someone or you'll need a sledge hammer to break it apart. That goes for hooking onto the chain or hooking onto the bucket of the tractor. Go watch this one --- How to Use a Grab Hook | Quick Tip
Do you have starlink for internet out at your site?
We do! We got it almost three years ago (back when there was a waitlist) so that we always had internet when traveling full time. We should have enough trees cleared at the property for StarLink to work well.
