Don’t understand how anyone is ‘sentimental’ over clothing. 🤔 why? Don’t get it. If it’s a sport you played, you probably have pics in it, so throw out that old crap. It is never worth the hoarding clutter mentality to save that old garbage, just stored in boxes and totes, just taking up breathing space. Throw it all out. And I’m LOL at the hysterical sobbing on the bed… over clothes… OMG.
I think you guys are just awesome and I have never watched you because of your diet. I did watch the way you healed Lou’s back while you guys were still in your van-that was a long time ago- but that was incredible to watch! Just be who you have always been!
I loved it. Thank you. Your family is so awesome. May be pigs could eat that Japanese weed that grows so fast (in the future). I have heard that pigs clear out forests from all kinds of weeds including poison ivy.
As some have already stated, the snakes in the video are both harmless. The ringneck (Diadophis ssp.) is easily identified, the 2 snakes under the sheet looked to me first as Water Snakes (Nerodia ssp.), but it wouldn't match their basking behaviour according to my knowledge. I browsed through to comments to look up other thoughts, and I agree we your look-ups and other comments, it's def. some rat snakes (Phanterophis ssp.) Knowing where you are located made it also easier to narrow it down, since so many species look alike. - I'm from Austria, so I haven't had to opportunity wo meet them all in the wild, yet. Keep your eyes peeled for the 3 viper species, I worked with all of them in captive holdings, altough I doubt much will happen if you don't disturb them in the wild. Biggest chances I see to get bit, is by not being aware of your surroundings. Massasaugas (Sistrurus ssp.) tend to be more defensive then the others, but I only have a small stock of captive animals to compare, so not really sure how they compare in the wild. I wouldn't let Max play with hognose snakes as well, since he may have an allergic reaction and light swelling, if he should get bitten. Altough I recommend watching them If you find some, since they can be so "dramatic" when trying to play dead.
I rolled a 450 livestock enclosed vented tank 1000 ft up mountain as holding tank. The more water in tank the more pressure yo have at the faucet downhill.
Hey, I'm a biologist from Slovenia, where we also have a huge problem with the Japanese Knotweed, as the little bastard can propagate from any remaining twig you leave. The only solution we found was working in Ljubljana on the Castle hill was, first cutting the plant and covering the whole area with black plastic covering(so that the light can not get through) for I think it was more than a year. If you ever want to use this area and don't want the weed to spread to your other areas. And just a p.s. I love the intro, it reminds me of your time or building and traveling in the van :D
thank you so much for this info !! super helpful :) and so special you remember those van life intros. we were missing that energy and this intro brought it back immediately!! xxx dana
Imagine if you'd gone to all the effort of laying stone, pipes and so on, only to find that the water was full of bacteria... ^^; I hope you also tested for heavy metals and other contaminants! The long-term effects of such things are no joke.
I currently watch your videos as a break from writing my thesis. So this jungle junk drawer situation made my day <3 and unwind comes at the perfect time... thanks for keeping me going (it is hard to stay sane)
wow this makes me so so so happy!! cannot wait to hear what you think of Unwind :) please keep me posted and good luck on your thesis. you got this!! inch by inch ❤️❤️❤️ - Dana
I do not want to tell you your business, but the highest spring is not always the best. Those natural springs and seeps are fed by the water table under that mountain. In drought conditions, the higher springs tend to dry up first.
Just my preference but I would have not obstructed the natural flow and just built a dam first then the pipe off the dam. It would have been a nice rock pool edge at the source too, and then if you wanted you could connect the dam to a swale on contour and continue down the hill.
awww yes!! there's also stress melt which is totally free www.wildweroam.com/stress-melt and will be such a good intro to guided visualization for you :) big hugs Dana
Why does this speak to my soul??? Intelligence shared humans, do with it what you will.. lotta love tive never watched this channel once. But this made a light bulb go off in my head,.
The snake at 2:41 is a Northern Ringneck snake. They are docile and not a threat to humans (they eat smaller prey like rodents, frogs, even other smaller snakes.) 3:48 looks like a Garter snake or a Rat snake (both also docile). I think there are some Rattlesnakes in your area so probably good to brush up on their IDs. All snakes are part of a healthy ecosystem, but definitely wouldn’t want to stumble upon a den of those guys accidentally!
wow thank you so much for this info!!! seriously so helpful! we've only seen a rattlesnake once on the property, but we definitely need to up our knowledge of snakes. appreciate the help -- Dana
Excited for this chicken coop! Have you ever thought about ducks, their eggs are amazing and they might fit in nice on your homestead, especially with that pond.
yes!!! we'd love to get ducks too one day :) i think this round of chickens will probably be the only animals we get this summer, but next summer hopefully we can expand more and ducks would be the cutest and most helpful addition! xx Dana
7gpm/24hrs=10,000 gpday. X10=100,000, x100=1,000,000 galloons, X200days=2 million gallons in 200 days.etc. Then I turn that number into what a I need:: 5gpm= 500K gal in 100 days. 2.5gpm=250K gal etc
Does anyone else see how at 9:42 Dana looks like shes being wrapped up by an Orb? There isn't a dirt speck there in other shots so it really stands out to me. Dana, baby, You're either glowing from the inside or someone was visiting you! Love love love this. I also love the new intro. Blessings to you all! <3
just fyi next time when you run poly just roll it out! it will be much easier and less chance of kinking the pipe. I have unrolled tens of thousands of feet of poly
Great video! I grew up going to my family river property with a spring on it. Come to find out it is the worlds largest spring at over 800cfs on average. No one really knows about it, how cool!
