STARTING OVER | Work Begins On Our New Land 

Hey guys from a firefighters perspective I wanted to offer some thoughts on what I would do. Make sure you have a ton of defensible space meaning no major growth preferably bare soil around the cabin build in a large meadow or clear a large area, this all depends on fuel type height load etc it’s worth looking up and into. Look into an exterior fire sprinkler set up even though it’s non combustible fire will warp and destroy it, this way you’ll be able to turn on the sprinklers to the cabin and keep it cool if you have to evacuate. Because of the construction material remoteness and access your going to be written off very quickly think of fire truck access not small vehicle access when you build the road. Just my thoughts…. It’s beautiful out there just some forward thinking because fire is not if… it’s when. Good luck !!! ❤

I suggest you provide to your local volunteer fire department and sheriff directions to your site so they can locate it in case of an emergency. Hopefully you never need their help. I love your new land spot. Beautiful!!🧡

The problem with dogs and bears is that , eventually, the dogs will return to you with the bear in pursuit. Have the dogs wear bear bells on their collars when outdoors to scare them away. I would probably invest in electric tape fencing around your camp area to deter predators . I do this around my camp in northern BC and except for a moose every now and then , the electric tape works pretty well. I love this new adventure. You go Mountain Gurl. :)

We did this 20 years ago. We now live in the mountains full time. We built everything ourselves and we wouldn’t go back for anything. Every minute and every penny well spent. I feel your joy and I’m reliving that feeling of the beginning ❤

Fun video today! TICKS 👹👹 Quick tip: we had a tick problem here in AZ. I was opposed to tick collars/dip for our dog so I started feeding him brewer’s yeast tablets every day. Apparently, the B vitamins in the yeast makes the skin distasteful. It really worked and we never had a problem after that. We’d even go camping in the mountains and he’d come home tick-free. He consumed 5-6 tablets/day(he was 100 lbs) and he ate them like they were candy 😊

I watch a fair number of RU-vid channels on a variety of different topics/subject matter, and I have to say that Life Uncontained has to be my number one favourite. Kenzie and Spencer certainly have their act together and are creating a channel with a great vision. They've done awesome to date with the container home build, and now this new journey into the mountains. I can't wait to see where they are going with it, and I will definitely be riding shotgun along the way. You can definitely feel the energy and excitement they have in this video. I wish them all the best in this new venture and chapter of their wonderful life.

I have been following this young couple since the beginning. I'm so happy that sharing their journey has brought them the ability to realize their dreams.

At first I thought Spencer was a brave soul, switching out the batteries in the RV, but then I remembered that this guy has done EVERYTHING!...he knows exactly how to approach every obstacle you guys come across...."The Amazing Spencer!". Evolving this property is going to be a great adventure for the 4 of you, so glad we get to hitch a ride! Love you guys! Be safe, be well, see ya next time! 🌻💖😊

⚠️. Solar fencing. I highly recommend fencing around the camper and "play" area with a solar fencing to help ward off bears and other unfriendly animals. Better to be safe than sorry. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new property. Love it and I love that you have stone walls!!

Mountain women are practical, always on watch, & VERY protective of their families, especially the children.... PLEASE think long and hard about where you actually are... Learning the 'hindsight way' can be very, very costly. Be proactive, not just reactive. Please Kenz. I'm begging you, with all my heart.

Yup. Keep your food bear safe. They can claw open, push windows in, rip doors and slash camper walls to get to food, especially in the fall getting ready to hibernate. But hey, you're pioneers, enjoy the journey.

Tick disease can be tough! When I was kid in the 50's, we would go from Texas to Arkansas to the Ozarks strawberry farm belonging to my grandfather. Ticks were bad in those woods! We used rainwater runoff in 55 gallon drums to wash clothes and to bathe with. My granny had a wash tub and heated water on her wood stove for my and my sisters bath. I was the oldest at 8, then 6 and then 3 year old sisters. We had to stand in wash tub and then granny checked and removed the ticks! Lol you'll have to do something similar!

You’ll need to spray yourself and clothes with OFF to keep the ticks off because you can get really sick with tick bites. Also, tuck your pants in your socks or boots to keep them from getting in your shoes and/or crawling up your legs. Also, look at the dogs every nite for ticks also. Beautiful new place!

What an Absolutely Gorgeous piece of land. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Your babies sure have gotten big. It seems just like yesterday that Beau was born. May God Bless and keep your Family Safe 💞 Be Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy Everyone 💞

A WOMENS ENCOURAGEMENT IS A SUPERPOWER. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORDS, IM SURE IT FEEDS HIM THE ENERGY TO PROVIDE. GOOD JOB.

I’m so jealous of the rapport and humour you two share. It’s a truly lovely thing. Your daughter makes just the cutest hippie chick given how her headband always slips down over her brow. Adorable children. Blessings on the four of you in all things. 🇨🇦👵🤣🥰

You guys need to build a dog fence for the dogs for the times they're left outside and aren't being supervised. Maybe there is less chance of running off in the woods getting lost and offering some protection. As the weather gets colder, the wild animals will be searching for food. You can buy things to spray around the area where you guys will mainly ward off ticks.

Check your propane tank. We live in an RV and our safety in the propane tank shuts the propane off if it's flowing out too fast which is nearly every time we fill it and reconnect. You have to shut it off, unscrew it to let the pressure off and reconnect. Open the propane tank slowly. Maybe that's your problem. Hope its that easy of a fix.

7/15/23 - Place looks so good after the cutting! Can't wait to see the final product. I Love the Mountains!

Excited for your new journey. As others have mentioned, I hope you have a plan in place for yourselves and the kiddos when spending the time outdoors. Personal protection on you at all times when outside - not just bear spray….if you are against that then you are building in the wrong place(not trying to be mean, just a fact). The dogs are dogs, if you think they will protect you and the kids if a bear/mountain lion come after them or the kiddos or you, don’t bet your lives on it.

My children have a farm that had lots of ticks and snakes bugs of all types. Their solution was chickens, especially “Guineas”. They free rein them during the day and put them in the pins at night. Also, Spencer might look into some of the hunting channels there’s clothes and products that protect you from ticks. Hope this is helpful.

Wow Spencer, is awesome there's so much work he has to do on this land I hope no one gets hurt and the bears do not come out.

I had friends that lived in a camper for a couple of years. They would wake up to the camper shaking like crazy. Bears rubbing up against the camper. Bears pulling on the tires of the camper. Dents in the camper. Please be careful. We love you. From NC

I was on edge watching this episode. Not only do I worry about the seriousness of ticks on the dogs and kids, but seeing the dogs and kids running so freely scares me. 😳. Not sure I’m liking this new adventure so far.

Great videos. I think I mentioned this before but I can't stress this enough. There is you tube channel called "ambition strikes" of a couple that did what you two are doing now and they have all kinds of situations, and suggestions on their journey up into the mountains. One thing that may be a concern is parking your car in tall grass. The catalytic converter on car gets so hot it may cause a fire. Good luck.

a quick suggestion repurpose some of the rocks and make your self's an outdoor fire pit that way when the weather is nice you can cook outside, also can get rid of some of the stuff you cut down

There needs to be 3 of Spencer. I pray you guys stay safe 🙏🏽. Hope you have a thorough and careful safety plan 📑🔖📰. Enjoy your new adventure.

Since you have a creek nearby, make sure you are on high ground. Creeks become rivers during flooding rains.

Oh my! Everything is so very beautiful. Please plant lots of lemongrass and mint, all around your property. It will run a lot of bugs mosquitoes etc away. I would put lots around the camper in pots too! I think it is good for ticks too. Better keep some essential oils on everyone including the dogs for ticks too. Be safe! Your place is awesome! Looking forward to tons of videos to come! Love each and every video!

I envy you all, young, always ready to make new starts and embrace them with vigour. Even the rain was something to laugh about, keep the children's sense of wonder for as long as you can, it is something to be enhanced and savoured, for everyone's sake.

As soon as you can do so, clear out that rubble pile. It is a perfect haven for snakes.

Hey, we live in a place where ticks are a part of life. Check yourselves every day. Even with off you will still get them. A friend of ours sprayed nematodes in a large area of our property. He has done it the last two Summers. I do not get any bites once they are sprayed. I have alpha-gal from ticks. It can be really serious. I get worse if i get bit more. Watch out for the tick ilnesses. Rocky mountain fever and alpha-gal are very common. You may already do this but keep liquid childrens benadryl around incase of an emergency allergic reaction to insects. It also helps stop the allergic reaction caused by alpha-gal until you can get to a hospital. Not trying to scare you but many people don't know about alpha-gal and go misdiagnosed. The property is beautiful. Praise God!

Cam is adorable! What a beautiful site. Are those wild turkeys? They are mean birds. You always find projects to improve your lives. Your kids are adorable and are very good at entertaining themselves. Thanks for sharing your vision and all the laughs!!

Make sure the you check your dogs also for ticks. They can pick them up also.😊 good luck to you all and God be with you.

How big the 2 kids are getting, can't believe it has been this long since I remember you saying we have a surprise (twice). Love your videos. Keep on growing.

A couple cans of bear spray is a good idea when out in the deep woods-keeps all safe !!!

What a wonderful opportunity and adventure for your whole family!!! You have made great progress!!! 😎🤗🤗🥰❤️❤️❤️

I keep praying for your safety...I can't help but think of...well mainly all the dangers of living in the middle of nowhere, in a forest of trees as far as the eye can see. I'm sure you had wildlife and ticks at your other place, but bears? How will you go for your nature walks?

Becareful with that whole mountain momma thing, because unpredictable things can happen. Count your blessings amen.

I’m not a sponsor but guys keep it coming, I wish u well on your dreams and I have follow u since two years ago and I love it, best of luck on your quest; the best it’s coming from Ecuador great best wishes for the kids and u all!!!!!!!

Starting over on raw land is scary amazing. I would suggest maybe talking with Al Lumnah at Lumnah Acres. He and his wife have done exactly the same thing. They seem like really kind people and may have some good advice. They deal with wildlife issues, including bears. Congratulations an the new chapter.

Note: The wheels and jack are for leveling, run the wheels onto a leveler or piece of wood to level. The jacks are for stabilizing and can damage your camper if you level the camper with them. (Google it, or ask a RV repair shop.) I ran across your channel on what I assume was day one, when you were wondering if anyone would watch it. You have come a long ways. It looks so much better mowed, and even more so when you get some grass, but some snakes may not be happy... Moving to lithium iron is a great move. You will probably want to add a bit more solar though, even if putting them on the ground. I use portable ones. I am still charging mine with the RV charger when on shore power or generator which charges them to 80% which is a vast improvement, but will change the charger at some point, however we use solar more than shore power. Rocks offer a lot of possibilities from a fire pit, to using in building, or just decorating.

6:17 So precious. Playing tractor just like daddy. ❤🙂👍

Onward, Mountain Steed, ONWARD AND UPWARD!!! 😁🥰🥰🥰 Spencer, that machine is a BEAST!!!!

I don’t know if I can even wait for the transformation to begin I might just have to wait for several episodes to play out… the excitement and the anticipation is killing me lol. Is this going to be a year round ? And now let the new journey begin! 😮‍💨

Your kids are really growing. I have had my grand child since birth and she turns 14 this fall. Time really flies. It seems like only a few days ago when she was on my lap- and learning what a mouse does. She teaches me now. Good luck on your new property.

I love to see your kids telling there kids of there amazing life ❤️

Purchase this: Sawyer 24 oz. Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent. It is great at keeping the ticks and bugs from bothering you. My entire family uses it on our hunting property.

The amount of work ahead is mind blowing but y’all are certainly up to the task. Thank goodness for modern equipment and gear. Can you imagine how much harder it was for frontiersmen and women? I’m glad we live in modern times. The kids and dogs look like they are having a blast.

You both look so happy Good luck can't wait to see how this goes❤

It’s adorable how Beau is always helping her Daddy! Parents kids and dogs are all adorable.

You have made a start on what look like a big project, keeping an eye on both your children will be a full time job. You all stay safe, love from Mike. ❤

Buy some goats and a section of electric fence. You can move them around and really clear the property.

Yall definitely should think about an electric bear fence up while yall are on the property

I’ve never meet anyone that could do just anything needing doing. God really blessed him with all capabilities needed to care for his family. I love to hear her laugh its so real, not fake like some of the others I’ve heard. Congratulations on your new property. Are you going to actually build a home? Looks like rain.

Hello! For ticks we use Sawyers Picaridin (can spray on skin). And Sawyers Premium insect repellent for clothing, gear and tents. We use both when we hike.

God I hate frigging ticks!! If you've never had to "extract" one, it's nasty....and in those hills they're NEVER going to get rid of them, it's going to be "inspection time" every, single day. And then dealing with the DOGS and ticks.....sheesh.

So what's the plan? Another cargo box build, regular house? Are you selling the other place? Renting it out? AirB&B? Strange you two have been planning this forever, but we are just finding out about it? Ok, I'm in!

You have to admit, you have the best of both worlds. You're way cooler in the mountains than in the Texas heatwave right now (105 plus, ugh). And the kids get to play outside in nature rather than on a cell phone which most kids today are babysat with. I really envy you.

Now I know that I am officially getting older.. I willingly admit that I have not watched this RU-vid channel in awhile. In fact, the last video I saw was you holding your baby in your arms but now you have 2 kids.. 😱 Congratulations 👍🏽👍🏽

How cute was the dog laying down on the duffel bag between the two sleeping babies! Love you new home! It's beautiful!

I love the new direction for the channel. Well done you guys.

Spencer and Kenzie what an amazing piece of land. So tranquil and lushes. I'm so proud of you BOTH and can't wait to see your dream come to fruition. Blessings and Love to you All 🙏❤️🙏❤️

Lil man playing with his Toy Tractor! Thats how I did as a lil one and I am halfway descent!!! Ja ja ja ja ja Keep moving Forward and keep living your lifes one day at a time!!! Semper Fi and Can Do OORAH

CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS NEW PROJECT TURNS OUT ❤❤❤

Very happy for you and your family, it’s beautiful place.

Offense is the best defense, be always prepared for anything, safety at all times .

Clearing the land is a great start for your new property. Looking forward to seeing all the improvement videos that are ahead of you two. Stay safe.

I’m so happy for your family in this new adventure! Please invest in some good hiking boots for each of you, there are ones that snakebites can’t penetrate.

Your beautiful little girl needs a unicorn 🦄. She is beautiful like her parents and your sweet boy!! Loved seeing him play tractor like his dada!

Reminds me of my younger years. My father got one the same size and the interior looks almost exactly identical. It was only used one time to camp in when we went whitewater rafting in W virginia. Then I moved into it. Lived in it throughout the year. Was cool. I don’t think my mini cooper could tow it LoL or I’d do it again. But I am considering buying a tent. I loved camping.

RV OVEN SOLUTION !!!!! When I had an RV a few years back I had the same problem to get the oven to light. The problem that I had was getting the flow of the propane into the oven itself. So what I did was light one of the burners on the top of the oven to get the propane flowing. And then with the top burner, lit and burning, then you should be able to light the oven! I hope this will work for you guys as well as it did for me. I always enjoy watching your channel !!!! MORE! MORE! MORE! Take Care, Brock.

Spencer please arm your self at you new property. It is virgin land to you and your family. You have seen signs of wolves and bears. They are there. Protect that beautiful family of yours. It will gave you piece of mind. Safety first for the little ones.

My wife and I have been on the same adventure now for a few years on our TN property, but we still live in South GA. We're older and our kids are all grown and giving us lots of grandkids. So, we're not in the physical condition we use to be, so we can't work on our land as much as we'd like to. I'm not going to ask the city or county area, but what mountain state are y'all in. Just curious. I watched y'all build your home and property as y'all did it with the containers. Now I'm eager to watch y'all build your new mountain property.

Kenzie & Spencer you can buy "Tick" pellet's and put them on the ground to kill them off , they last for about a month or so. Check it out at a local farm shop, that way you are not having to get the tick's off you all the time. Love what Spence has done so far with the property , good luck with the oven & be careful out there, love all the wildlife you have caught on the land, good luck with the horse's Kenzie. David, North Ogden, Utah.♥♥♥.

Definitely y’all to get snake boots for the kids and yourselves…and tick repellent! The editing on your videos are so excellent! I hope your dreams come true!

Congratulations! I'm wondering if you're keeping both places or moving to the mountains permanently? Thanks!

Love watching your new place come to shape. 😊

I have binged watched for a month plus. Finally I have caught up I enjoy watching all the videos. Thank you for taking us along with you. Blessings to you and the whole family.

As an (old) man, I am in awe of the capabilities displayed by Spencer. One hears so much about the decay of American society and family, and yet here is the hope of the future. Good men and women doing what they do will restore the Nation.

keep an eye on the dogs for ticks, and what about the bears, with the dogs. you got alot of work ahead of you. have fun guys

I’ve been watching y’all channel for about a year now and found it very interesting and the biggest excitement was y’all purchase of the mountain land. My wife and I have been looking for mountain land in Kentucky for a while now and hope to make a purchase within the next six months. We are natives of South Louisiana. The mountain land you have purchased looks very nice for what you all shared so far. Good luck in your endevers.

Cam playing with his tractor. Too cute!!! Great video.

That is one, mighty, bush whacker.

Spencer you are doing such a great job clearing the road and the land. You and Kendra have such a good vision for the land. Nice to see Bo and Cam playing together and having fun. God bless you all and until the next time have a good and safe week.

Beautiful mountain. Congrats on your new land.

Hello, I love seeing you as a partner, complicit in the projects and happy as a family

Why such isolation guys. It's beautiful yes but such a lonely, unforgiving place. Please be extra careful 😢

Beautiful and peacefull. Happy for you and following you in this new adventure.

it's amazing how cutting the tall grass off of a pastor or madow changes the look of the land. I love it. can't wait to see what you have in mind for the future. Mckenzie you will love riding horses and the kids need to lurn soon you and Spencer should work with them on that. give Beau and Cam a big hug for me and tell Bear and Io I said Hi. God bless you all.

Spencer and Kenzie your new project has started looks a lovely place with all the trees but I think you are going to need a fire break round your base I’m not sure how much but I think about 50 metres to be safe looking forward to the next video stay safe

Cam with his tractor sound effects made my day!

You guys are crazy (in a good way)...this looks like an even bigger adventure than ur last build. Good luck and I look forward to watching the transformation

So glad to be here watching you on another great adventure. I am happy for you and glad you are able to do this. I look forward to seeing all your progress and adventures. As for the bugs and ticks; get some Skin So Soft and add coconut essential oil to it. Or eucalyptus oil. The bugs don’t like either one of them. Spray it all over you and the children and your clothes. Praying for safety and health for all of you. May God continue to bless you.

A great place to get a horse is “horse plus Humane Society”. They have their own RU-vid channel you can get horses and ponies. You can also get donkeys as guard animals and I think they have other shelters in the area that they mentor. I know they, a future goal of having a horsemanship program how to take care of them, etc.

What a good job cutting down the overgrown grass on your new property.

You guys are so brave! Congratulations on the new land 🎉

Ya got the right color of Tractor !

You two are so in sync with each other with your dreams and your work ethic❤

Now you need to put some posts in the ground and Mount solar powered spot/security lights . They won’t deter bears/ cougars/ coyotes completely but will let them know, plus anything else out there, that new residents are on the property Plus putting up solar panels to keep things charged will be helpful. Also be sure to take that tractor securely locked up or be ready to take it back and forth. Moth balls will help keep critters at bay also.
