Those his and hers green recliners are killer! Still remember when y'all got the woodstove...it's a treasure! May joy and contentment fill your home and your hearts.🌎🌬🔥💦
~Elsa Rhae, watching you make coffee for yourself and ~Baron reminds me of days spent in the Scamp. Blessings you two and the fur babies for a marvelous first Christmas in your new home.🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁
Having a running water in your OWN home after many years will be incredible :) But damn, those holes, I wonder what chewed them up. Also, Pilot is so sweet! And seeing Camp in the snow made my day haha
Congratulations on your running water 💦 You can do all kinds of meals in a Dutch Oven. Everything is really coming together so beautifully. I hope you enjoy your first Christmas in the new house. 🎄🕊🌿🥰
I absolutely love your new home! It must seem like a mansion compared to the scamp! All your hard work and dedication has paid off! Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤
Awesome vid...so much to see..n..enjoy..! Great episode..your puppers are delightful in this viewing..they each have such personalities amazing! Thanks for the visit n for sharing your new home!! Great holidays to all........!! 👍🦊🧙♂️🐺👍
I love your new home it's very pretty and I love the recliners green is my favorite color❤ have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year❤ great video see yall in the next one❤❤❤
I am so stoked for you guys!!! The place is coming along so amazingly! Also, those green recliners are freaking badass! Sweet find!!! ❤ Super excited for the new segment of the podcast well!😊
Yay water!!! My grandmother always used cast iron fry pans for corn bread and she baked anything at all in her cast Dutch oven. She had one with a fry pan lid. At holidays when the oven was packed with a big bird or ham, she used the stove top for everything from peach cobbler to cakes, pies in that Dutch oven. It always came out good. Thanks for the memory prod. I’m so excited for you in your new home. 🎉❤
So glad to see Barron knows how to make S'mores! My hubs and son used to take yearly "male bonding" trips to the Oregon wilderness areas (usually during 100 degree summers) with my husband's dad (WELL into his 80s) in a little canned ham travel trailer that makes your Scamp look like luxury digs. I was tasked with going to Grocery Outlet with $100 from DAd to buy exotic, unusual provisions (Lithuanian jam, instant grits in a pkg, "Champ," the potted meat product for people who aren't fancy enough to buy name-brand Spam --- you get the idea) ... anyway, growing up as a Campfire Girl VERY familiar with S'mores, I was excited to buy the ingredients and instruct them to make the treat at one of their primitive campsites (even the actual campsites in eastern Oregon with Dad's "geezer pass" were usually only $5 a night and usually had pit toilets and MAYBE a water source). When they returned I asked, "so,,,, how were the S'mores?" My husband, a college graduate (with honors!) said, "they were ok, but I think I burned the graham crackers." LOL
I would highly suggest you use a pitless adapter below your frost depth on your well. This would allow you to bury the water supply and have access to water from the well year round. Also make sure to use good quality Poly pipe thats stronger. Great video! ✌
Elsa, what are the sunglasses you are wearing in this video? Kamp rubbing around in the snow is too damn cute! Whoever said you are phasing him out doesn't know what they are talking about.
Yea! You house is perfect. It is so impressive that your wood stove heats the house and cooks your food. Looking forward to your learning how to bake with the Dutch oven. I have the Boy Scout cook book for using one on a camp fire that l recommend. You can make awesome breads now, so fun. Thanks, as always for sharing. ❤
Love Norfolk pines. They are more of a tropical tree & like humidity. So careful with it being too close to the wood stove. Also, have you guys considered getting a cat? He/she would take care of the rodents. What a beautiful place you have ❤
Make a hole down the side of the pot to fit a pvc pipe (or 2) into. Place pipe and backfill. Water into pipe to allow roots to drink from below. Love you guys BTW.
I so want to be there to assist. Bound to the duties of running a company. I am glad to see these videos. Improvise, adapt, overcome. You two rock!!!!!
@@ElsaRhae I knew it was to good to be true. I said to my old man, I'll bet you anything it was a thrift store find. What a score! You guys are making amazing progress and having fun all the while. Does my old heart good. Happy Holidays,peace and prayers.💖
I bet the bread would work for you in the Dutch oven like you were saying. I haven’t tried it on top but the magic for the oven is in the preheating which you’d be able to do for sure. YIP-SKIDDLEY-DOO YOU’VE GOT WATER!
That view from your bedroom....Blissful. Your home is incredible, am thrilled watching your channel. Just as mesmerising as when u were in the Scamp. Much love from England UK xxx
Congratulations on spending your first Christmas in your new home. My parents moved into their new home my father built during Christmas 1958 when I was 14 months old. I’m living in the house today having moved back in at age 52 after my parents passed. Hopefully one day your house will be passed down to your children.
Long time subscriber here. Enjoy your videos and your adventures. I'm 59 & have had dogs & cats my whole life. I love how you take such good care of your fur babies. Have you ever entertained the idea that now that Camp is in his mature years he may have arthritis? It is common among our pets. My dog has times it bothers her & my sister's cat the same. I guess we're all susceptible to it.
Love you guys! I never knew Lizzo and Jack Black did anything together! ( WAY OFF TOPIC) 😋Keep doing you and making awesome content for me to have tiny get aways in the comfort of my room🥰😜
Elsa ... what kind of fancy lady have you become --- wearing that (Faux, I'm sure) fur-trimmed coat to do chores?!?!?! LOL ... everything looks GREAT!!! I'm just tickled pink you guys are settling into your home. I feel like it's a journey we've all taken with you ... we can't all help or contribute but are loving watching your lives evolve. I didn't grow up off-grid, but I DID grow up in the middle of 400 acres where you couldn't see anybody else's lights at night .... I loved it. I didn't, however, love our well ... it was slow, it was SUPER deep, the water was terrible (tasted like a flat Alka Selzer) and corroded the fixtures (we had to get new faucets for the bathrooms about every 3 yrs). We had a Culligan water filter that made the water softer, but we really didn't drink it ... we usually got water from neighbors or our grandparents who lived a little ways away. In the summers we often had water shortages, the water table wasn't that great, so we had HUGE tanks we could switch to when the well was low. You are learning a lot about how this sort of thing works - I'm just so glad it looks like YOUR well is good!!!! Smart hack using the butter with the venison steaks ... they can be so lean they can be a little tough.
I am 71, about to sell off home in Maine because it is to complicated and run down for my son to live should I go to happy hunting grounds. Hopefully not for many years to come. My Nephew lives in and teaches snowboarding Aspen, and we will be going through Colorado on our way to Montana and eventually Oregon visiting what is left of second generation family and looking for a new home. I had to laugh when you added water to your French press and threw old grounds out the door and the dog ran after them. I do the same thing, only I have a cat and she doesn't chase them. I do walk in woods and gift them to mother tree. A 200 year old maybe older bull pine that I frequently hug, talk and cry with. I see munching on her dead limbs so I gift the coffee grounds inside the holes to deter any more munching. I also give my coffee grounds to my plants summer and winter. It gives me a boost I figure can't hurt them. I have several almost a forest if avocado trees I probably will try to bring with me. If I come through your town by invitation or accident, I bet they would love living with all that sunlight and almost desert heat in summers. If anyone could make them bloom it would be you two. I just purchased a Crua Tri winter tent. Probably a mistake. Because it weighs so darned much. Listen to o old lady ramble here. My daughter makes silver jewelry. Not as good as you do Elsa. But she has made some beautiful pieces. If I land someplace I probably will be painting mureals of my lighthouse, and the beach I will be leaving. Maybe mountain folks would like a lighthouse to look at. Lol Weird how at 71, I am just getting a the courage to spread my wings and explore. I sooooo admire that beautiful view from your window. And I hope God blesses you soon, now you are ready. I took cook a lot in cast iron, outside on wood fires, and I obtain deer meat from local road kills. It does tire me to gut, skin and butcher a whole deer now days. I should put my name back on police road kill list. They always call at 12, 3 am. In the bitterest of cold. I need a electric wench to pull one from the road up on the truck which I bought cheap and it is waaaaay to high to lift a dead carcus on. One can't just gut skin and hack off choice pieces on side of the road. It has to come home. Maine coast is a strange place to live. People here are not always user friendly. Been here all my life and it has changed a LOT and not for the better. There is no more small NE towns. Only in Norman Rockwell paintings I'm afraid. You live on a piece of paradise, I remember when you first parked the tiny egg camper and began to live there. You have earned every bit of Joy you have. I wish you Merry Christmas, a very happy New Year, and I will as always be watching you share your wonderful lives. Be fun to see you do either more leather making or more jewelry making also. That was fun to watch. God bless you both. 😊
Just tuned in to relax at home, Xmas day, raining In Melbourne, Australia, why not, it’s our 4 seasons in one day time, so it’s raining, yeah🎉 love to see that the house/home is working out and that the vision of window placement is perfect, so jealous 😮. Keep well and hoping 2024 is just as amazing for you two + 2, family and friends is a healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful year. God bless with the spirits of the land who provide and nurture us. My feet are up and puppy Chase is resting there and it’s raining!😊
Such weird synchronicity-- when Barron said he was "making something weird..." my son was in our kitchen making bacon quesadillas too! Cool! Love seeing your house take shape and that you're getting to have more of the modern conveniences you've lived without for so long. So interesting to see inside of your water tank! I'm glad you're house is warm with the wood stove and the sun. Is the cement floor warm at all?
This is wonderful:)!! I watch you you guys since 2020, I used to love your videos made in winter etc. I am so happy for both of you, what you achieved after so much work.( excuse my english:))
Norfolk pines come from Norfolk Island which is in the Pacific near Australia/New Zealand. The island was a British prison camp for many years way back when and they used the pine trees for the ship masts back in the day because the trees grow so straight and tall. They are very pretty when they get big but also are a great house plant as well when young and small.
Camp rub-running in the snow reminded me of when Joe Cocker sang "with a lil help from my friends on SNL back in the 70's.. I love both Joe and Camp, it's said with utmost respect.. just made me laugh... Thank you..
Elsa I LOVE that sweater on you!!! The hat too, brings out your eye color. I would never choose that sweater normally, but after seeing it on you I want it!!
Cool video, guys! On a sad note, seeing Pilot made me reminisce a little bit. We just lost our 13 year old female chocolate lab named, Meeka. 😢 it was very heartbreaking. But I guess we just have to enjoy our time with them while we can.
Wow, I have never seen a dog roll itself so aggressively in the snow. I thought the poor thing was going to break his back the way he was rolling in that. I’ve seen camp roll in a lot of things over the years from your videos, but not quite as enthusiastic as what he was then. I hope he wasn’t sore the next day. He’s getting on a bit now poor fella. I don’t blame him for wanting to stay downstairs, curl up in a chair and stay next to the fire. That’s the best place to be. Of course, pilot will be wherever you are. She’s a German shepherd. Our German Shepherd every night several times during the night would patrol the house, making sure all was safe whilst we slept.
Hi Elsa - Quick question I think you have listed this before, but I cannot remember. Do you have a playlist of songs that you use in your videos? You use a lot of the same songs and they fit a certain vibe and I LOVE THEM and I was wondering if you had a curated playlist so I can listen to it when I am trying to be productive. Thank you! Love you guys so much.
Glad you have Doreen for plant assistance. Personally, I have never had luck with a Norfolk Pine. Goodluck!!! Such a cool view! Love the bougi velvet green chairs!❤
Pilot is like my giant schnauzer Maise. Always talking and always underfoot. When Maise is in heat, she’s impossible. I love all the progress that y’all have made with your home!
