Hi Todd Thanks for the visit, and the opportunity to tell people about our projects. Once the road is fixed up I will probably be making a trip to VV my old hunting ground. So I can pop in to your pad for a visit to tell you some more of my stories of my 15 month road trip through Asia 50 years ago and my time in the US and NZ that cam after that..

Sabai Dee! I’d like to know what y’all did to the soil? I have property in Isaan in a village around Pho Sai and I’d love for my rice and cassava and everything else to grow up like yours did!?

@chrisperkins7331 Год назад

@@thomasmckenney3518 Hi Thomas I am always happy to talk about soil quality to anyone who is interested. Todd has just visited again a few days ago as we had a family wedding. Take a look at that to see the size o cassava root we get. What I do to the soil is to work with nature as opposed to trying to control it. I can get into specifics later, but main thing is to stop killing it with fertilizers plowing and pesticides. Feed the microorganisms, with animal or fish poo is the trick. .

stopped using the Kubota as when traversing the ruff ground (ie, getting over the lump back on the road) fully laded trailer the driving bars can fly upward and flick around and do the shoulders in. But Chris one looks more modern model. Most farmers where I am have now moved on to using tractors and rent out their services for those who do not (the oldies). Most young ones aren't farming except to help on occasion. in middle Isaan

@sherylgergen6672 Год назад

A great way to live, being self-sufficient. Chris is very resourceful and is a problem solver! The goats wander but wondering if the pigs are able to get out and roam around? They say happy grazing cows produce better milk and free-range chickens, more quantity and higher quality eggs. Even in a controlled area I'm sure that pigs would love it. Enjoyed the video and wish him best of luck on the leasing of the land!

@chrisperkins7331 Год назад

I agree with you about the free ranging of animals. Unfortunately they tear up the place and can wander onto other people land and cause all sorts of damage which we would have to pay for. The middle ground is using animal tractors which allow them to have accesses to fresh ground, whilst keeping them from damaging crops. This is my goal which I am working towards.

@sherylgergen6672 Год назад

@@chrisperkins7331 That is a great idea! Challenging and so much to consider when trying to keep everything balanced, healthy and also make a living out of it. Learning a lot and am looking forward to more videos! Thank you:)

@RobotsWithKnivesCartoons Год назад

I was wondering about the Lao tractors and why they looked like that, but seeing this, it's just so mechanically simple, and you just build the end to be whatever you want, I understand them now, just two wheels attached to a motor and you can call it a day, no complex steering or hydraulics needed.

Not just Lao they are everywhere in Asia. About 2-2 1/2 grand a pop will last forever

I don't believe how he can live in Laos for 16 years. My cousin retired and went back to marry a girl in Thailand. He chose to live there but after 10 years, he missed his families in the US so much then he brought his wife with kid to live in the US and die there. We, Hmong, tend to have something attach to our families and friends then we can not go to other country and live there with different woman.

Last time I was in NZ was 4 years ago for my daughters wedding and I am thinking about another trip next year. I can understand her reluctance, woman in all things make their minds up slowly. Maybe come for a visit to Lao and see what a wonderful place it is when you would normally be in frozen nut territory..

@yeahman1756 Год назад

If i was yo both, i'd buy me a welder and make a small seat vintage tractor seat *the ones with that spring load* and a steering wheel for that mini tractor whatchamacallit.. more easier to maneuver around than that handle.

@federicocolon1635 Год назад

Can you explain, how much money I need to live in Laos. Also a budget cost on visas, permits, health care, land cost etc. Thanks

@chrisperkins7331 Год назад

It all depends on the standard and location as in most countries. However annual visas (multi entry) are $450 for 1 months. I use the local health system, and on minor health issues would budget /year $100. Major problems are cheaper than the west. Land again varies widely, but again cheaper than the west. If you wan to get more detail just drop me a line at my email added posted on the video..

@kaldeekaldee8191 Год назад

Great 😃👍 place to prepare yourselves for changes before the #GlobalFinancialReset #GCR2022...

@chrisperkins7331 Год назад

Yes there will have to be a reset as the system is creating too much money in the hands of the few. You have to be debt free and on land that will grow what you need to feed yourself and those you care about. Also knowing how to fix things that will never war out (like the iron buffalo) will be also imperative. If you are dependent on the system then you have no chance.

Hi Todd. Can you ask Chris, how do you get rid of those prickly weeds (the one that it closes the leaves when you touch it). Those prickly weeds are the worse especially when your land is flooded and you can’t see through the water. Thanks heaps

@NowinLao Год назад

Will do mate.. I feel your pain 😟

@chrisperkins7331 Год назад

Thanks for the question. Goats love them, and the pig tractor also works a treat. Another place it never grows is at the end of the pig poop shuts. I think the reason weeds grow is to bring soil back into balance.
