My hubby, Jack of all trades always in a good way, and I are well he-s retired from General Motors and I have been home for 15 yrs now after becoming extremely ill and nearly dying at first but I was very fortunate to have to greatest healthcare in Ontario. I had two days Thursday and Friday at work when I had a heart attack both mornings and was hospitalized that afternoon. I was in the best shape of my life or so I thought. My hubby and I did all our own work and we enjoyed it. After I got ill I was no longer able to work. So my hubby has been my care giver ever since. It-s been really hard on both of us as every time I try to get exercising to try to loose the extra weight all the meds have put on me. I cry a lot, because I get discouraged and depressed. We really enjoy your videos. Please keep making them. I keep my eye on the vacant land for sale even though I would not have a down payment for maybe a year or two and perhaps we-ll have our own piece of paradise just to go to and walk around with our dog. Maybe even camp overnight. We used to do everything outdoors. We even had our own motorcycles, Honda Goldwings. I rode with a precision riding team and we performed all over to raise money for different charities. It took me 7 years to finally accept that I would probably never ride or camp or build decks and design patios or have and work on gorgeous gardens. You guys make me think of what we may have done if we would have known more about off grid living. Perhaps I would not be sick and my sweetheart wouldn-t have to do so much. PS. Heart has completely recovered and so have the lungs. It-s the rest of the hooman that-s always struggling.

How to Prepare Your Camping Oven or Dutch Oven (DO): Start 15 minutes before cooking. Determine the temperature level at which you will cook to set the amount of embers you will need. Turn on the embers (approx. 30-40) and hold the flames, until all the embers are lit at least 80%, then move them to the area where you will place the DO for cooking. They can be lit in a coal trap preferably or directly in the place where you will cook. Prepare your recipe and empty the contents within the DO where it is previously oiled and cured. Place embers under the DO and over the lid, according to the required temperature level in the recipe. You can monitor the temperature and adjust by adding or removing embers (2 embers equals 25 degrees) always one up and one underneath. The cooking temperature may vary according to the ambient temperature that exists in the place. There will never be more embers under the DO unless it's going to fry. The cooking time will be determined by the recipe. It is recommended to rotate the lid 1/4 turn for 25% of the total time required, this will facilitate a uniform cooking. Enjoy your meal!

I would like to teach you guys how to make homemade cement and mortar with materials within 300' radius of your Yurt. Some natural masonry would make your off grid dwelling sturdy and secure from bear invasions. One can make mortar from wood ashes and some limestone found in rocks laying around. Lime can be extracted from the rocks through burning them and clay can be found in a creek bottom or the banks of a creek or river. Sand can be found anywhere and is necessary in making bricks and mortar / cement.

I think Nichole is a very lovely creature. The thumbnails give us a little taste of her beauty that we are not entitled to see more of. It's a very classy way of showing her beauty without being too revealing. Much better than looking at a thumbnail of a tree for example. Keep up the good work guys!

did you know cutting trees on federal land is illegal without a land use permit allowing it. the only exception is dead fall for food prep and heating
also them plastic tarps everyone uses are also illegal for use as anything but a covered dinning area or covering supplies.

I can't get over how it doesn't feel like it was that long ago I was watching videos of Jake teaching us how to be limber and fit at our desks for those of us stuck behind a computer. Just enjoying the journey alongside these guys! -

I've been following you guys for a couple months now, and was inspired to dig into the roots, I'm enjoying seeing where it all started. So much hard work has gone into everything you're doing, it's really an inspiration to me.
