Lou strung together a bunch of little moments from life lately, and I feel like it captures the end of summer magic that is happening right now in Upstate NY. This wall tent means so much to me, and even though the summer turned out differently than we expected, I am so grateful for every moment we spend up there as a family. It's up there surrounded by trees and the people and creatures I love that I feel most like myself... I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into our off-grid life, and we can't wait to share more of the homesteading journey with you soon.
Thank you for all your love and support these past few months as our family has grown. It means the world to us both!
Big hugs,
Dana
ps so proud of the training Lou and Freja are doing together!! They really make the sweetest duo :)

I LOVED watching Freya's training!!

@WildWeRoam Год назад

She is so good, right! We are so proud of her ❤

@Krystal_Hope Год назад

It’s weird… you guys have no idea who I am, yet you feel like family to me! Your family is beautiful, and it’s been amazing watching your journey into parenthood. I’m sending you all the love!! ♥️

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Aw that is so sweet, thank you Krystal!! We certainly feel the love and are so grateful you are sending it our way ❤ Thank you so much for spending time with us here and also taking the time to write such nice message :) Sending so much love right back at you ❤

@JorgeDelgado10 Год назад

Yaayy more Freja’s screentime! Love that dog! Please keep us updated with her Search and Rescue training.

@bohoxplorer840 Год назад

So sweet to see your lovely family making a home in this beautiful tent. Lou you are a phenomenal Dad & partner. Dana you are a natural born mommy. Just wonderful to see❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Aw this fills my heart up so much to read, thank you for the kind words ❤ Sending lots of love xx

@jkilpat513 Год назад

Dutch oven cooking is so fun! You put the pot right down into the coal, and put coals on the lid as well. You can even bake!

@Lili-xq9sn Год назад

The lid is designed to hold hot coals to make the pot into a little oven. Heat up the pot more slowly, once its becomes hot, it stays hot and you don't need so much fuel to cook with.

@greenelbrown Год назад

I didn't know that, how cool!

@lindy4297 Год назад

I found your channel when you were fixing up the boat and have watched you on and off since then, and I love how you guys go with the flow and find the joy in life even when it's not easy. Thank you for sharing your life and congratulations on your growing family.

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Thanks, Lindy, that is really kind of you to share (and so motivating for us to read) ❤

@biancan3257 Год назад

There is a Netflix series about this guy's that work with timber and it's fascinating to watch and now Lou is extracting wood and is really cool to watch him! It takes a lot of knowledge to do it properly and he is really great. It's that kind of knowledge that can be taken for granted but this is a really hard job. It shows all his efforts to make it happen for your family ❤️

@alfanton07 Год назад

A great little fire starter I make for our wood stove is “wax dipped pine cones”. I save all the odds & ends of candle wax through the year. Melt it in a double boiler and dip the pine cones in. Are you guys planning on staying in the tent through winter? How’s the snow load up there?

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Oh wow, that is a great tip with the wax dipped pine cones, thank you!! Haven't heard of that :-D And no, we have other plans in the works for winter, excited to share that later on :) Hope you are having a nice week, Amber ❤

@HappyGoLondons Год назад

Really cool to see Freja’s training! I think it could be good to teach her “home”, too, if case you are out hiking with her and get lost or turned around then she could help lead you home

@WildWeRoam Год назад

That is really wonderful, thank you!! She would be so good at it, too :) Thanks and hope you are having a nice Monday ❤

@ZoeHewitt Год назад

I noticed the clothes line nearly touches the ground even after Lou tightened it, there are "clothes line support and separators" that roll along and hold the top and bottom lines together so they aren't weighed down so far. I've been following you since the Ody build when I was working on my own van build (her name is Bessie Lou,) and I'm so excited to see your next project or adventure as a family of four!

@juliewright5796 Год назад

Wow, your training with Freya is incredible. I have a husky and I can only imagine how she would do with that! You two kill it in everything you do 👏🏼👏🏼 bravo!

@Astronautin Год назад

What a wholesome video 💙. Especially loved the part about Freya's training! So cool!

@kathleneda2514 Год назад

For a family starting from nothing, I think your summer home is the cutest idea and enjoy your photography of the area very much. It is rewarding and refreshing to watch each new idea take shape. Hopefully you can winter there and come up with solutions for the walls and ceiling to do that. If nothing else gather heavy canvas, quilts, or blankets for a second layer inside, or heavy denim material. It is a nice design and economical for a new beginning. Keep up the good work and the furniture is beautiful inside. Simple but loving craftsmanship and very creative.

@sharonoldham4374 Год назад

Dana is wonderful to see you cooking in the kitchen and taking care of Max. Lou has done so much getting everything ready you and Max. Guess now he just needs to get a wood burning stove to keep his family warm. Have a wonderful week.

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Thank you so much, Sharon! We are so happy to have you hanging out with us these videos, and getting to read your nice words is icing on the cake :) Thank you and wishing you a beautiful week ❤

@ChristinaCatFoster Год назад

Lovely video! I bet the sound of the rain on the tent is quite soothing. Max's core strength must be out of this world! He was kicking those casts around like they were nothing. Freya's eyes were so bright when she was search training. Yall are a beautiful family. 🥰

@WildWeRoam Год назад

It really is so special with the pitter patter of the rain, how such a simple sound can fill your heart with gratitude. And ha yes Max is so strong! Thank you so much for the kind words to all of us, it really is so appreciated ❤ hope you are having a beautiful day, Christina! Sending big hugs xx

@lexigomez165 Год назад

Only tips I would recommend about the cast iron is to make sure that its "hot" (whatever temp you desire), and dry before you add anything other than oil to protect the seasoning and then to season the pot after you cook in it. This doesn't have to be extraneous. After you cook in it. Clean it out, return it to heat till dry. This is the bare minimum to make sure it doesn't loose that black coating. Most then add a thin layer of oil and heat it again to reinforce the existing seasoning. Cast Iron can seem like a lot but in time they become a friend of the kitchen.

@mikeymad Год назад

Lovely to spend time with you guys.

@MarcelEling Год назад

Nice and rekxing to watch

@earthlightstudio Год назад

I grew up with washing lines and we used these double roller things that held the lines together and kept the bottom line with the clothes raised from the ground. You'd put one at the halfway point of the laundry as you're putting it on the line. I just did a search and they are called clothesline spacers. You could use one or two. Also, when cooking over open fire, one would usually let the fire burn down and cook over the coals. That cast iron pot is perfect for baking, as you put it on the coals and put more coals on the lid. The lip around the lid is designed to hold the hot coals in place. Lou should try baking his bread iin it. There is a Dutch RU-vidr refurbishing an old stone house in the Italian Alps (and living in a tent right now) who does just that. His name is Martijn Doolaard.

Honestly I just find your videos so calming and relaxing to watch 💕I’ve loved every single journey you guys have gone on from the van, to the boat, to Hawaii, freja, max and now this. How exciting. ❤️❤️❤️

@juanitaespiricueta3863 Год назад

Once again I'm impressed with another great video of a beautiful homestead you both are starting with the baby and Freya. Great idea training Freya as your search and rescue dog, wow! I love it. God bless your family.

@Wyldyflower Год назад

The healthiest meal cooked over fire for sure 😂😂😂 i love it. I can’t believe how much Freya has grown and evolved because of you guys and your time in her. She is so lucky to have you as dog parents. I’m glad max will have her to grow up with 🥹

@clairebattersby6340 Год назад

Thanks for sharing the amazing footage from the hunting cams. The whole blog is beautiful actually. The rotation line is such a great idea, I wish I had one. Freya’s training is brilliant idea, especially for when Max is running around. I’m British and we moan too much. Your positivity is good for me!

@pretty_life_sussexsarah5178 Год назад

Searches with Freya WOW! ❤ you guys are awesome x

@kirstynbutler784 Год назад

A tip on the cast iron pot - you need to have 2 separate pits. One pit with a fire going, and another with coals. You’ll interchange the coals with the lit fire to keep them heated! In South Africa we call it a “potjie” 🇿🇦

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Oh how cool! That is a wonderful idea ❤ Thank you for teaching us about the potjie :) Hope you are having a beautiful Monday, Kirstyn ❤

@elinejfeenstra Год назад

Hi Dana and Lou! I started following your journey only recently and absolutely love it. Thank you so much for sharing parts of your life and all the inspiration. I have been wanting a dog for years... and seeing Freja grow up gives me the strong sense that I am ready too. ❤✨🙏

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Welcome, Eline! We are so happy to have you here ❤ Thank you so much for spending time with us and we are so happy you like seeing our Freja. She is such an incredible joy. I am so excited for you whenever you decide to get a dog, the experience is just so incredible, all the love ❤ Hope you are having a nice September day!

Absolutely brilliant idea to teach Freya to search for people. x

@juliahayman2179 Год назад

Freja is so clever! So fun as a viewer to see her grow physically and skills wise! Max is gonna be a sitting pro soon thanks to those core muscles he’s building lifting those cast heavy legs up and down.

@HiSkippy Год назад

How did you find your homestead property in Hawaii and now in your current location? What made you all choose the tent? Where the permits hard to get? Will you be using the tent foundation to build a log cabin or something or possibly build along side your tent? Congratulations on MAX!! So cute!! Rescue training ... wow. Thank you for sharing!!!

@nancyswaine2220 Год назад

Good free fire starter..pine cones..collect them and let them dry..then stack them up and light one..roaring fire..Dana can carry MAX and collect the pine cones with one of those long reacher grabber tools..Wal mart

@JP-NL Год назад

So cool to see fraya learning so quickly. If you are interested in teaching your dog to search for people you can set out a trail and have them follow footsteps. If you look up IPO training tracking it think you’ll find more information. I followed the program with my GSD dog and his obedience is astonishing and he really enjoyed doing it.

@allikatt777 Год назад

You'll have "Mom arms" soon and they'll be hella strong! I miss my GSD soooo much. I'm filled with joy watching Freya. 💗🐕‍🦺🐾

@nataliej82 Год назад

We get wind storms here where I live so when I see wall tents I think about how they'll hold up to 40-60 mph winds and guests up to 75, but hopefully that doesn't happen where you are. I love storms but I'm not sure how I'd fair even in a sturdy wall tent.

@carebearolyn27 Год назад

@BE-bs8oe Год назад

For starch, bulk bought couscous, classic or from spelt or even lentils add it instantly ( soaks up some cooking liquid and immediately . I love throwing in red lentils in any stew for protein, as they cook so quickly. Larder always holds some jars with cooked chickpeas and beans for some humus or proteins to add last minute. You are doing great, amazing Max with his cast and his sturdy parents.

@WildWeRoam Год назад

Oh that is such a great idea! Just throw them into the pot :) Thank you for the tip!! And the nice words ❤ Hope you are having a nice September day ❤

@vswild7005 Год назад

If you ever train Freya for self defence, I’m sure you know this, but only use made up fantasy words for commands like attack, corner, bite, let go etc. You don’t ever want to put yourself in bad situations with strangers or even friends or family who don’t understand how serious a trained K9 can take some of these commands. We had two German shepherds growing up and it’s amazing what they can do ❤️

@sundancer442 Год назад

Freya needs bones for calcium and to clean her teeth, that's why the chewing. Love the vids ! :)

@christinamontano11 Год назад

you can put the corn with the the husk still on right in the fire...it cooks quickly and is crunchy & delicious. same with potatoes...wrap in foil and toss in the coals they are delicious.

@judygilbert9628 Год назад

Since you are living off grid are you considering cloth diapers? I did it and hung them out in the 70’s ? I’m old. Yes Pampers were available but living on a budget like I did then it was so much cheaper . Not sure what you are doing for a washing machine though.

@Stardust065 Год назад

I was wondering what training program you have used for basic training with Freya? You have done such a good job in Hawaii with her; what a beautiful dog she is. Also, is the continued training part of the same program? Thanks and have a great end of summer in the hills.

I’m loving these wall tent videos! So peaceful! Question out of curiosity, how do you afford your lifestyle right now? I can tell it isn’t very expensive, but I don’t know how you could afford to live from RU-vid and patroon alone… but I know you have website merch, do you have more side hustles? Just super interested in making ends meet as creatives! You have such a beautiful family. 😍

@ooOxeniaOoo Год назад

@princepj5960 Год назад

love what you're doing but i dont understand why you have to cut down so many trees for a temporary home

@eirlyskingstone Год назад

I find cooking with cast on an open fire is more of a measure with your heart type situation as opposed to a hard science, I find I’m constantly adjusting it if I add more wood to the fire, and that increases the heat, I lift the pot higher as it cools down. I lower it down. You just kind of keep checking in with it, and Seeing how it goes, cast takes a really long time to heat up but once it gets hot, it maintains its temperature for a long time so I tend to start it really low and then once it gets really hot, a raise it up higher.

Did you study German shepherd training for a while , in order to train Freya so well? Such a smart dog. Very nice all around video once again.

Consider getting a sleeping tent for baby. The one in our family is black. Grandaughter slept in itfor 18 plus months.

@debbiblakeslee2373 Год назад

You must watch “the epic family road trip” channel they have cast iron cooking down to a science lol. I even made pizza in my Dutch oven while camping it was yummy 😋

@laurareutter6928 Год назад

Do you have a lid for your pot? It would help the contents heat up faster and keep ashes out the pot. 🙂

@earthangel8730 Год назад

Keep in mind that pioneers using cast iron cookware over a fire weren't typically vegans. The cookware requires fat. Use coconut oil or some other vegetable fat and brown the veg before adding broth or water. Don't use iron cookware without properly seasoning it first and putting fat in it first when using thereafter. You're lucky you don't have burn bans in Summer.

@Jojo12336 Год назад

You guys look super cute in your tent and in your element. A word of caution though my sister had a cast on when she was a baby because her hip was out of socket when she was born and now, after moving several times and changing doctors over the course of life, her shins compared to her thighs grew a little wonky; so her knees look really crooked and she walks like a duck with her feet out more than normal. I don't think you will have that problem, but it's just a thing I know from my sister and baby casts, and I hope that won't be the same for Max! Much love from NH.

@noraw34 Год назад

I very much assume that they are following the advice of medical experts with their son, so something that happened to your sister (many years ago...) is probably not very relevant for their situation. I am sure their doctors explained any risks and they are well aware and chose the best possible choice. Comments like this can cause anxiety, and are actually pretty unfair and unkind given that it is already probably a stressful situation for them. :(

@Jojo12336 Год назад

@@noraw34 I don't doubt they are 100 committed to their child. I have total faith in their doctors and the treatments they're choosing for him. I think more knowledge is more power and they have years and years to make sure his legs and his foot are growing properly. And they will. It was said with love, not malice.
