@@nda3413 Yes, exactly right. The Instant Pot I mentioned has both the regular pressure cooker lid AND the air fryer lid, both are removable. So you could pressure cook, say, a frozen chicken breast, swap lids to the air fryer lid, and crisp up the skin as if you baked it in the oven... in less than 10 minutes.

22:20 ; It is a practice cartridge for a 40mm 'High-low propulsion system' aka a 40 MM grenade launcher. Its solid inert aluminum, so people can practice without blowing themselves up.

That is a life time dream. So awesome to live out in out ghost town. It would be hard for me being in a wheelchair. In 1993 lost both my legs above the knees at my job , I was only 29 years old. I would like to go up there an hang out with you. I can get around better then people thank I can. When it comes to off road, I have My Can-am X3 XDS Max Turbo R. With it there is know place I can't go. I always say God do things dor a reason I believe it 100%. I have my RV an trailer to hail my side by side. Your so lucky to live out there. I wish I could go into a mine . Before my accident I went into caves it was great. When you get this all done I would like to come visit with you bring my drone get so awesome shots. I plan on going to Utah out at Moab to ride an camp. I have started watching all your videos last week only have like 5 left. Be safe watch out for Bigfoot. LOL.

Man, this type of living is what I think everybody in 2020 wants a taste of. You have a true piece of heaven and I can see why Cerro Gordo has captivated you!
Right!???! I was thinking, I wonder if he would mind if me and my family moved out there to live, and become his ‘employees’....what an awesome life with a few resources added to what he already has. Lucky man, to be away from ‘society’ today....been thinking a lot of Alaska myself.
agreed. simple living and being self-sufficient. a nice community feel as well. my only worry and always has been about moving remotely is just being able to get adequate medical care in emergencies (not for myself necessarily but my family).
Agree .... it’s 3am . VA Beach . Laying on uncomfortable floor at daughters house. Helping family move in morning . Glad to be a part of the great Ghost Town adventure . Get chickens !
Great way to destroy the tranquility he is speaking about....go by some land and do it...don't dream or expect others to do what you want...do it yourself...
I'm now officially addicted to your channel! I know what I would do if I were you: I'd be planting trees for both shade and windbreaks and I'd also begin construction of tourist cabins making use of all the rocks!
you should definitely consider turning one of the more run-down buildings into a greenhouse! it would be a super nice way to get produce even during the winter months
You need a lot of water to grow produce in the desert, and his only source is a small seep 750 feet underground. It would be pretty irresponsible to build a greenhouse.
Israel makes deserts green by capturing the water in the air, which is what a cleverly built greenhouse would do without frying the plants. It can be done. Naysayers be damned.
My first thought, when I started watching his videos. I'd probably start with a mushroom farm in the mine. Champignons don't need any light at all to grow. But I don't know, which conditions they need in terms of temperature and humidity and how much power would be needed to power it.
If the watering system is even half-smart, it is doable. - Using tubing that go straight to the plants or their roots so that only the immediate vicinity of the plant is wet, he can use much less water when compared to just spraying the water willy nilly everywhere. Add timing system that drops water little bit at a time so the water doesn't go to waste. - Use only flower pots or similar (plastic is better, allows evaporation only from the top soil) that have minimum size possible for the roots, too large pots means he would need more water to keep the soil moist. - Select the plants with the water usage in mind so avoid the most heavy water using plants. - Also, rainwater is one option but he has not utilized it as he has had an aim for clean drinking water and rain water cannot be used for that (he has stated this in one of his videos). With out filtering at least. So if he would put rain gutters to the roofs that drain into a large tank, he could drastically increase his usable water reserves.. We have used this to reduce using water from our well. - Seal the greenhouse decently so the evaporated water doesn't immediately get lost to the outside air. Imo, actual purpose built greenhouse is better for this reason. I would at least try with some small scale experiment, then decide after seeing how it goes. Obviously without some serious effort, he could't go self-sustainable with it but it would at least increase his food variety. The climate is so harsh at winter that i highly doubt if growing anything during winter is possible. Lack of light is not the problem, it's the cold. With enough cheap electricity perhaps but he has only limited access to electricity. Greenhouse would definitely be possible but could require more work It is up to him to decide if the effort is worth it...
You need to make a feeder to hold the hay off the ground for your goats. Goats are suseptible to parasites that come out of the environment, when you feed off the ground and the hay touches their poop, the worm larve in the poop can contaminate the clean food and infect them. You should also be checking the lower eyelids of your goats every few weeks. This is called a FAMACHA check. Look it up if you don't know how to do it. If their lower lid is light pink or white inside they need to be dewormed. If you don't keep an eye on this, they can die from anemia from the parasites. Both of these are pretty important to do if you want to keep your goats healthy.
The way you value this experience really makes watching your journey absolutely amazing. Never lose your sense of wonder my friend. It will never stop offering you what you need to continue to enjoy this beautiful universe we've been dropped into for a time.
Nothing depressing about those meals at all in my mind. When I go backpacking I always try to eat the best thing that I have in my pack first. No sense in saving it, that way you will always be eating the best thing you have in your pack. If the best you can make is beans, rice, and eggs......then you are still eating the best food you have. it's a good mental trick for practicing appreciation
And you can do alot of delicious stuff with not many ingredients. Minimalistic food tastes was better than any gourmet stuff if you put some heart in it. Most of my Camping Trip meals just consist of Ramen with some Veggies and Eggs. Its great!
It’s astounding how you approach every problem, every day, how you always sound positive. I wish you the best and I’ll keep following 😁 It keeps company while I’m drawing portraits
Me to this is so cool and should have more recognition than it does but it's better this way cause the quality stays up but I'm so intrigued by and blessed to watch the journey
Did I a lot of climbing setting up new routes in lone pine Bishop area it is so peaceful and quiet. I was there in a time when I needed spiritual healing and speaking to God it was amazing and still is and those moments will live with me forever never to be forgotten!
Just found your channel...binge watched until 3am yelling at the TV, "Stop" "No, don't go that way", " Watch out", "You're crazy"...seriously claustrophobic grandma here! So suspenseful!!! 😳😳 Can't wait for you to find those Levis, though! 👖👖

Hey brother, my name is Andrew and I’m doing a trip through Death Valley this weekend. I’d like to stop by and leave a care package for you. I really admire the things you’re doing for the history of the town for generations to come.
Check out his patreon, one of the levels offers a day trip to the place. Maybe something your interested in!! Definitely a day trip I would like to do,,,,,,if I wasn’t so far away.
Dino Dad nailed this. The blue is called a "blue body" and is used for most practice rounds (ammunition) to provide a realistic firing experience for the trainee. The other training round is an orange "paint" or powder round that works almost like a paint ball that shows the trainee the hit markers. I am actually surprised to see this on your video, especially if it is a military training round and they are striking your private property. Contact the nearest Air Force Base (or which ever service you have knowledge of training nearby) Range Safety Office and tell them what you have found so that they can adjust the limits. If it is a one off thing, no big deal, but if more training rounds hit your property, this could be a potential hazard for you.
GOAT TIP: Once your goats know where to sleep and find food, you can let them roam free during the day and shake a can of sweet feed to put them to bed. They spend all day eating any bushes or grass/weeds that are around.
THIS. Please, don't use this type of space heater. My family owned a 16th century castle here in Germany and it burned down to the ground completely, 30 years ago. Couldn't be rebuilt. High power draw + old wiring + cats that like to snuggle up close to warm things & could tip it over = bad idea.
I was concerned with that as well, maybe he could look into getting one of those solar-powered generators? I saw a portable one that wasn't outrageously expensive. A lot of van lifers or RV people use them. Then he could get a safer heat source and not worry about faulty wiring either. Just an idea for a solution.
Could probably just use a smoker far from the house and heat water with wood chips/old wood. Double it as a meat smoker and make beef jerky as a side product for mine exploration/sale. In Ohio, a lot of older farm homes use something similar and they tend to work better than furances in -10°F.
Can't wait to visit, I live 5 hours south and would love to help out with the new hotel or any other project. I have construction and art skills and would love to be a small part of CG's amazing history.
@@ordyhorizonrivieredunord712 ua-cam.com/video/a3gUmiAsFRo/v-deo.html There are similar homemade alternatives. It's cheap and extremely water-efficient. It works on any type of soil with or without rocks
@@noonespecial1285 You read my thoughts yet it doesn't solve the water carrying problem. goats are good on desert bush and eat the same as horses. If he could find a vein of water that would be sufficient around the house he could start a patch of squash and sunflowers... etc. First you need water... if enough could be pumped from the mine the place would get a little greener.
Brent man, u NEED to post the Patreon link in your “About” tab and in the descriptions of ur past videos before u made it, people may want to support u just finding you for the first time on those videos, trust me, u will see a big increase in patrons I guarantee it
Love the videos man, the history of that place is pretty amazing. There’s a certain kind of beauty with the silentness of the desert setting. Knowing that hundreds of years before that area was bustling with the thought of people trying to make it rich. Crazy how time changes things!!!!
You probably won't see this but I want to thank you for saving the town the history and most of all the kitties and goat's. Hang in there dude. We are watching and we love and appreciate it all.
I learned of this channel via Nate and Kara... I was concerned because why separate the cats.. The truth was the gang is all here... Because I think the other kittens croaked... Why watch Nate and Kara's video when they visited and it only shows the 2 black cats and gordo the grey cat... Hum something's fishy... If they died just tell us... It happens
I’m sure others have already pointed this out but you’re right on with that grenade round that you found. It’s a dummy round often called a Cheeto bc it produces orange smoke instead of exploding. It’s more than likely from a 203, an underbarrel attachment of an m4 or m16 rifle
You are such an inspiration, what your doing is of imense value to the memory of not only Cerro Gordo but of the mines and miners that contributed both materialisticly and spiritually to America. In one day I wached 8 of these videos.
All those walking away shots.... He has to just go back and get the camera, lol. I always think walk away shots are funny from a practicality perspective.
Correct to some degree. They're from a MK-19 launcher. The rounds that come out aren't chalk and have a small "explosive" every 6th ? round in the belt. (Which is why some of them look different than the others). Not trying to be a dick and be "that guy" that corrects everything, I just hold the MK19 close to my heart because it was my assigned weapon overseas.
@@joebauer8365 I wonder how MK-19 rounds got all the way out there, then? The terrain doesn't look ideal for driving vehicles on, except maybe something with tracks. Do they mount MK-19s on helicopters?
@@skynat247 Not a clue man. The rounds can travel pretty far so i wouldn't be surprised if they were shot from a road nearby. Never seen one mounted on any aircraft, not to say it hasn't happened lol but just never seen it.
An idea for your coffee, use the 700 foot mine depth as levels of darkness on your coffee, have the mine map on the packaging? Just ideas, love your videos.
This is where having a paper map of the area, a compass, and a protractor come in handy. It helps you at least mark out where you have been and where you want to go so if you do get side tracked you have a spot on the map for that. If you can see the work you've done then it will feel less like wasted time. Just a thought. Enjoy your town and maybe it will be the next desert oasis!!
Hi, Thank you so much for all your videos. I have enjoyed them all so very much. Your bravery, resourcefulness and joy of living is an inspiration. I pray you will be blessed even more , every day.
You do realise that when you find smaller pieces of paper in a mine they have probably wiped someones antique butt! Cheers from Tasmania. (Quite a distance from Cerro Gordo!)
@@glennbrown1961 My guy, those turds dont move, they stay frozen in time and covered with a few inches of silica dust after a few shifts due to blasting the face and oversize at the end of shift. And, theres no bad air in a modern mine, we have intakes that move so much air theres a constant breeze. If air isnt moving, you have a issue as it means intake is down usually to freezing during winter, which takes it from 60 degrees to 100 something within hours during winter. Not fun and if it doesnt more for to long and they dont fix it, then you evac the mine.
I’ve been catching up on your videos the last couple weeks and I have to say this is a personal favourite. So interesting to hear about your day to day thoughts and how your thoughts change after starting a project like this. Very insightful, keep up the good work brother.
38:41 - That is the planet Mars just above the Full Moon, because I know a lot of people are going to ask. That video was shot on Friday evening, October 2nd, 2020....I remember watching the Moon and Mars rise from my jacuzzi that night. Mars is very bright this month because opposition was October 13th, which also means it is closest to Earth since about 2.5 years ago, therefore it is about as bright as Mars can get when viewed from Earth. Very cool.
I noticed it too my brother pointed it out when we were night golfing. California was super smoky and you couldn’t see anything in the sky the only thing visible was the moon and the planet Mars
I'm rapidly falling in love with these videos. I'd do alot to get to explore a mine. I'd imagine that's a difficult thing to monetize outside of what your already doing.
Wow I cannot wait to see your town.. I have lived near the coast all my life and I love the coast but I've always had a yearning for places exactly like what you have.. i love adventure.. I will definitely put Cerra Gordo on my bucket list
Be carful with floor heaters and cats!!! You/we/no one wants to see ANYTHING to happen to those guys or another building loss brother! Stay safe and be smart!
And reduce your need for propane & space heaters. With the amount of sun you get solar panels would be ideal! Realize you can’t do everything at once, “One step at a time”.
@@thebaddestradish9678 a possible reason for the disposable eatery is because of the lack of water. It’s hard to wash and clean things when there is very limited water. But once he gets the water situation fixed, quality of life should improve 10 fold.
Your story telling and insight/breakdown of everything on a personal growth level is second to none. So many people need to hear this / don't know they need to hear it. You are a treasure brother, keep up the amazing work. Simple thing people stuck in the city can do is hunt, fish, hike, camp ect. We all need this to stay sane
It's very close to the best possible life for many, me included. It's some practical things that's not so good, though. Where do you get rid of garbage? Water, sewage, power, proximity to shops, and so on. If you need an ambulance it would take forever, so don't have an emergency. Internet? It seems like Brent has it, but it's not a given out in the desert. Most of us would adapt to all of it, I'm sure, but especially the medical emergency part has steered me to something in between. I'm figuring out how to move out to an old farm homestead somewhere not to far from civilization, not run down too much. I'm handy enough, but having the big things like water, sewage, and power, makes everything 10 times easier. It's dirt cheap for such properties here, compared to apartments in the town I live in. 2000 sq ft house in need of some tlc, a 3000 sq ft barn, usually a small patch of grain field, and 100 acres of forest, costs about the same as a 370 sq ft apartment. I'm keeping my eyes open, and give it a few years of preparing for a big move.
From a german perspective: in a country where like everyone owns a gun and could just come out there and kill you, i'd be scared to live alone in a ghosttown like that.
found you by accident, then i realized we could be best friends if only i wasn't an stoic loner myself, then i felt kinda jealous because you found what i would call paradise haha
Your channel, your ghost town, everything your doing is amazing. Found it yesterday and been bingeing every video since then. Good luck and keep it going man
Have you thought about getting an armature radio license? Having a hand held 2m radio with you when you are cruising around could be a handy thing if you get into trouble. Nothing else it's another means of communication.
A note about your sledgehammer swinging form: You'll be able to swing harder for longer and be less prone to injury if you pick it up with your right hand right below the head (and your left hand exactly where it is) so your hands are at opposite sides of the shaft as you lift. Then as swing it up and the head approaches the top of the arc, allow your right hand to slide down and simply let the falling weight of the hammer do the work--all your right hand does is throw the hammer into the air then aim where it lands. You definitely don't want to throw your back out up there, bud!

Yeah, I've been saying the same since his first few videos. Not just for the silver and gold, but for tools, guns, knives, coins, household utensils etc. I doubt it's all been picked over because everything there isn't totally destroyed by people... so it's a good place to start metal detecting.
You are living your best life. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. This video has really impacted me in a positive way. Exploring is the best!

I don’t know why but when he said rise and shine while looking at the dresser, I really thought he was gonna open the drawer and all the cats would be in there
@@kazemizu Just an educated guess. But he may have separated the males and females as cats mature sexually at only 3 months. Probably a good idea until he gets them fixed or finds homes for one of the sexes. The last thing I think I'd want, is the potential of 7 (3f & 4m) to become 30+ feral and incestuous cats within a year. As I said, just a guess. But I suppose I'll find out as I keep watching. UA-cams algorithms only brought me here today. So lots of catching up to do on my end. =D
I think the better question is why he didnt film the other 4 cats that he supposedly sill has. Imo he has "gotten rid of them" as the farmer planned initially
Fell in love with that spot. Wife is Dutch and was totally in awe when we drove past back in 2016, and that bakery stayed in our hearts forever. We are so much food there. We wanted to go back this year but had to cancel the trip due to covid. Fml
My favourite video so far 🤦🏻♀️ Just nice to get to know you a little bit and what life is like behind the scenes. You have a life that most of us can only dream about. Bless you and everyone that visits. I hope I recover and make it there some day.
Do not leave cats alone with dangerous stuff like heaters or within cables proximity, please. I don't want you to lose any more stuff or houses, or the cats and you to be hurt. Take every precaution, mate! And keep it up, love your videos
You all need to realize how cold it gets were he is. At the age the kittens are at the cold could kill them for sure. It's responsibility and in the sense he's dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. Saying that however, the heater will keep them alive moreso than if he didn't have one in there

Great way to destroy the tranquility he is speaking about....go by some land and do it...don't dream or expect others to do what you want...do it yourself...
I'm now officially addicted to your channel! I know what I would do if I were you: I'd be planting trees for both shade and windbreaks and I'd also begin construction of tourist cabins making use of all the rocks!
you should definitely consider turning one of the more run-down buildings into a greenhouse! it would be a super nice way to get produce even during the winter months
You need a lot of water to grow produce in the desert, and his only source is a small seep 750 feet underground. It would be pretty irresponsible to build a greenhouse.
Israel makes deserts green by capturing the water in the air, which is what a cleverly built greenhouse would do without frying the plants. It can be done. Naysayers be damned.
My first thought, when I started watching his videos. I'd probably start with a mushroom farm in the mine. Champignons don't need any light at all to grow. But I don't know, which conditions they need in terms of temperature and humidity and how much power would be needed to power it.
@@imiloa. you can only capture moisture in the air if it's a humid area. Cerro Gordo is dry desert.
If the watering system is even half-smart, it is doable.
- Using tubing that go straight to the plants or their roots so that only the immediate vicinity of the plant is wet, he can use much less water when compared to just spraying the water willy nilly everywhere. Add timing system that drops water little bit at a time so the water doesn't go to waste.
- Use only flower pots or similar (plastic is better, allows evaporation only from the top soil) that have minimum size possible for the roots, too large pots means he would need more water to keep the soil moist.
- Select the plants with the water usage in mind so avoid the most heavy water using plants.
- Also, rainwater is one option but he has not utilized it as he has had an aim for clean drinking water and rain water cannot be used for that (he has stated this in one of his videos). With out filtering at least. So if he would put rain gutters to the roofs that drain into a large tank, he could drastically increase his usable water reserves.. We have used this to reduce using water from our well.
- Seal the greenhouse decently so the evaporated water doesn't immediately get lost to the outside air. Imo, actual purpose built greenhouse is better for this reason.
I would at least try with some small scale experiment, then decide after seeing how it goes. Obviously without some serious effort, he could't go self-sustainable with it but it would at least increase his food variety. The climate is so harsh at winter that i highly doubt if growing anything during winter is possible. Lack of light is not the problem, it's the cold. With enough cheap electricity perhaps but he has only limited access to electricity.
Greenhouse would definitely be possible but could require more work It is up to him to decide if the effort is worth it...
You need to make a feeder to hold the hay off the ground for your goats. Goats are suseptible to parasites that come out of the environment, when you feed off the ground and the hay touches their poop, the worm larve in the poop can contaminate the clean food and infect them. You should also be checking the lower eyelids of your goats every few weeks. This is called a FAMACHA check. Look it up if you don't know how to do it. If their lower lid is light pink or white inside they need to be dewormed. If you don't keep an eye on this, they can die from anemia from the parasites. Both of these are pretty important to do if you want to keep your goats healthy.
Sounds pretty dramatic
@@dan_golbean dramatic????sounds factual/knowledgeable actually.

Nothing depressing about those meals at all in my mind. When I go backpacking I always try to eat the best thing that I have in my pack first. No sense in saving it, that way you will always be eating the best thing you have in your pack. If the best you can make is beans, rice, and eggs......then you are still eating the best food you have. it's a good mental trick for practicing appreciation
And you can do alot of delicious stuff with not many ingredients. Minimalistic food tastes was better than any gourmet stuff if you put some heart in it. Most of my Camping Trip meals just consist of Ramen with some Veggies and Eggs. Its great!

Hey brother, my name is Andrew and I’m doing a trip through Death Valley this weekend. I’d like to stop by and leave a care package for you. I really admire the things you’re doing for the history of the town for generations to come.

@acorn13 did you end up stopping by?
Curious, were you able to stop by?
That’s a 40mm “203” round from either a m4 with the 203 launches or a MK19 or maybe from a c-130
Dino Dad nailed this. The blue is called a "blue body" and is used for most practice rounds (ammunition) to provide a realistic firing experience for the trainee. The other training round is an orange "paint" or powder round that works almost like a paint ball that shows the trainee the hit markers. I am actually surprised to see this on your video, especially if it is a military training round and they are striking your private property. Contact the nearest Air Force Base (or which ever service you have knowledge of training nearby) Range Safety Office and tell them what you have found so that they can adjust the limits. If it is a one off thing, no big deal, but if more training rounds hit your property, this could be a potential hazard for you.

Please be care with the space heaters, I'd rather not repeat the American Hotel.
yeah that made me nervous too..I've seen them fall over and not shut off
Was thinking the same thing. My family and I had a barn/shop burn down along with puppies inside due to a similar device.
THIS. Please, don't use this type of space heater. My family owned a 16th century castle here in Germany and it burned down to the ground completely, 30 years ago. Couldn't be rebuilt. High power draw + old wiring + cats that like to snuggle up close to warm things & could tip it over = bad idea.
I was concerned with that as well, maybe he could look into getting one of those solar-powered generators? I saw a portable one that wasn't outrageously expensive. A lot of van lifers or RV people use them. Then he could get a safer heat source and not worry about faulty wiring either. Just an idea for a solution.
Could probably just use a smoker far from the house and heat water with wood chips/old wood. Double it as a meat smoker and make beef jerky as a side product for mine exploration/sale.
In Ohio, a lot of older farm homes use something similar and they tend to work better than furances in -10°F.
Can't wait to visit, I live 5 hours south and would love to help out with the new hotel or any other project. I have construction and art skills and would love to be a small part of CG's amazing history.

@@noonespecial1285 You read my thoughts yet it doesn't solve the water carrying problem.
goats are good on desert bush and eat the same as horses. If he could find a vein of water that would be sufficient around the house he could start a patch of squash and sunflowers... etc. First you need water... if enough could be pumped from the mine the place would get a little greener.

I’m sure others have already pointed this out but you’re right on with that grenade round that you found. It’s a dummy round often called a Cheeto bc it produces orange smoke instead of exploding. It’s more than likely from a 203, an underbarrel attachment of an m4 or m16 rifle
You are such an inspiration, what your doing is of imense value to the memory of not only Cerro Gordo but of the mines and miners that contributed both materialisticly and spiritually to America. In one day I wached 8 of these videos.
All those walking away shots.... He has to just go back and get the camera, lol. I always think walk away shots are funny from a practicality perspective.
Why?
I always think the same thing! "oh cool shot - bummer he's gotta backtrack however long! "
Survivorman too, dude is out there alone with all that camera equipment. Every shot of him is walking away/walking by mostly.
haha I think the same thing. It still looks great though and I don't think it takes away from the immersion of the video
So what? it’s part of the whole process
Its a 40mm grenade (not a rocket), the practice rounds are called "Cheeto Puffs" cause the make and orange cloud when they hit something
That's not a chalk round, is it? I thought chalk rounds were completely frangible.
Correct to some degree. They're from a MK-19 launcher. The rounds that come out aren't chalk and have a small "explosive" every 6th ? round in the belt. (Which is why some of them look different than the others).
Not trying to be a dick and be "that guy" that corrects everything, I just hold the MK19 close to my heart because it was my assigned weapon overseas.
@@joebauer8365 I wonder how MK-19 rounds got all the way out there, then? The terrain doesn't look ideal for driving vehicles on, except maybe something with tracks. Do they mount MK-19s on helicopters?
@@skynat247 Not a clue man. The rounds can travel pretty far so i wouldn't be surprised if they were shot from a road nearby. Never seen one mounted on any aircraft, not to say it hasn't happened lol but just never seen it.
40mm can come out of a 203 or a 320 launcher
Your calm helps keep me calm sir. Thank you i appreciate you.
Yes on the coffee, and yes on the whisky. I be keeping in touch.

An idea for your coffee, use the 700 foot mine depth as levels of darkness on your coffee, have the mine map on the packaging? Just ideas, love your videos.
great inventiveness imagination
This is where having a paper map of the area, a compass, and a protractor come in handy. It helps you at least mark out where you have been and where you want to go so if you do get side tracked you have a spot on the map for that. If you can see the work you've done then it will feel less like wasted time. Just a thought. Enjoy your town and maybe it will be the next desert oasis!!
Hi, Thank you so much for all your videos. I have enjoyed them all so very much. Your bravery, resourcefulness and joy of living is an inspiration. I pray you will be blessed even more , every day.

True and speaking as a career underground miner ... If you see 'drift snakes' on the ribs, those are just petrified dust covered turds. haha. FNG's.
@@johnbaptiste6497 as long as they aren't moving, if they are, get out .....bad air! Cheers Mate.
@@glennbrown1961 My guy, those turds dont move, they stay frozen in time and covered with a few inches of silica dust after a few shifts due to blasting the face and oversize at the end of shift. And, theres no bad air in a modern mine, we have intakes that move so much air theres a constant breeze. If air isnt moving, you have a issue as it means intake is down usually to freezing during winter, which takes it from 60 degrees to 100 something within hours during winter. Not fun and if it doesnt more for to long and they dont fix it, then you evac the mine.
just be careful about how you leave the glass fragments around uncovered, especially in the drier areas. you don't want shrub fires!
That's a really good point.
For real, good thinking!
Dont forget that animals can cut there feet on them too, pick them up or put the broken pieces somewhere safe.
hands down one of the best episodes. so chill. thanks for sharing!
I’ve been catching up on your videos the last couple weeks and I have to say this is a personal favourite. So interesting to hear about your day to day thoughts and how your thoughts change after starting a project like this. Very insightful, keep up the good work brother.

38:41 - That is the planet Mars just above the Full Moon, because I know a lot of people are going to ask. That video was shot on Friday evening, October 2nd, 2020....I remember watching the Moon and Mars rise from my jacuzzi that night. Mars is very bright this month because opposition was October 13th, which also means it is closest to Earth since about 2.5 years ago, therefore it is about as bright as Mars can get when viewed from Earth. Very cool.
Thank you!
Very interesting, noted.

If you want to be self sufficient you should eventually get solar panels so you can reduce paying the electric bill.
And reduce your need for propane & space heaters. With the amount of sun you get solar panels would be ideal! Realize you can’t do everything at once, “One step at a time”.
And not disposable plates, cups and utensils
@@thebaddestradish9678 a possible reason for the disposable eatery is because of the lack of water. It’s hard to wash and clean things when there is very limited water. But once he gets the water situation fixed, quality of life should improve 10 fold.

It's very close to the best possible life for many, me included. It's some practical things that's not so good, though. Where do you get rid of garbage? Water, sewage, power, proximity to shops, and so on. If you need an ambulance it would take forever, so don't have an emergency. Internet? It seems like Brent has it, but it's not a given out in the desert. Most of us would adapt to all of it, I'm sure, but especially the medical emergency part has steered me to something in between.
I'm figuring out how to move out to an old farm homestead somewhere not to far from civilization, not run down too much. I'm handy enough, but having the big things like water, sewage, and power, makes everything 10 times easier.
It's dirt cheap for such properties here, compared to apartments in the town I live in. 2000 sq ft house in need of some tlc, a 3000 sq ft barn, usually a small patch of grain field, and 100 acres of forest, costs about the same as a 370 sq ft apartment. I'm keeping my eyes open, and give it a few years of preparing for a big move.

A note about your sledgehammer swinging form: You'll be able to swing harder for longer and be less prone to injury if you pick it up with your right hand right below the head (and your left hand exactly where it is) so your hands are at opposite sides of the shaft as you lift. Then as swing it up and the head approaches the top of the arc, allow your right hand to slide down and simply let the falling weight of the hammer do the work--all your right hand does is throw the hammer into the air then aim where it lands.

UA-cams algorithms only brought me here today. So lots of catching up to do on my end. =D
I think the better question is why he didnt film the other 4 cats that he supposedly sill has. Imo he has "gotten rid of them" as the farmer planned initially

You all need to realize how cold it gets were he is. At the age the kittens are at the cold could kill them for sure. It's responsibility and in the sense he's dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. Saying that however, the heater will keep them alive moreso than if he didn't have one in there
