Thank you 🙏🏼
What about those tiny, tiny flies that infiltrate your container? I see the 3" gap on your trap door that you r&r your 30 gal container. I used one of those hospital toilets (looks like wheelchair with no wheels) outside backporch, tiny flies, Lysol did nothing when I sprayed it on them, so I brought it inside same deal, it bugged the sh** outta me (pun intended)
@@bobbytogores4902 We really have never had a fly problem. We do make sure to cover everything with the cedar chips, sometimes to an extreme I’m afraid. I truly believe that is the best way to avoid many issues with this design. Use lots of cedar! Thanks for watching!!
Pouring Urine into anything is like pouring Ammonia on your garden plants.......
There are rattlesnakes in every state in the west, milksnakes do eat them. Apparently you just havent seen any. Nothing to worry about.
im enjoying your music
you seem bummed out. Sorry 😢.
I catch your videos here and there. I need to see if I’m subscribed to your channel. I’m wondering what brand and what model your tent is? I’m looking at putting a Sibley 500 ProTech on my land because I’m one person and the Bell tent seems more practical for one person to set up. I’ve looked at so many tents and it is a hard decision to choose one that will withstand the winds and elements in the Chihuahuan desert.
very helpful, thank you!
Amazing! Thanks 😉👍
I love the moon on the door and see it on almost every compost toilet is it a symbol for a toilet or just a cute little feature 😊
I have one with cedar shake.I cover with ash from the firepit and then a layer of cedarshake. I dont have grass clippings or grass. Will green leaves do the same? I was also thinking i can empty my bucket into the burn barrel.
What are the benefits of running the stove pipe through the wall instead of the ceiling? Great video!
I did a video on that very subject! Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/eI-SPVeW1zo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jIaozFHOJpqmuvNQ
Did you ever put a front grill on it? It’s missing it.
I did indeed! I just did it later after I was sure the fix was good. Thanks for watching!
@@mytwelveacres3071 Awesome! I’m sort of a picky guy when it comes to details like that. Great video!
Your property is my dream!
It has been fun working on this property. A lot of work, but fun! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Question what is the size of this tent ? And what are the dimensions for the platform? And frame? Thank you so much this is the same exact idea I have for mine. God bless you 🙏💞
The tent is 12’x12’. The deck is a bit larger to accommodate the overhanging rain fly. The A frame was made specifically to fit this tent and rain fly. The tent and rain fly was a special order size from Davis tent. They have many great packages for tents. Check them out!
Beautiful to see everyone working together 😍
Was you're hand.
How long do these tents seem to last?
If properly cared for the should last for many years. Ours has been set up to a little over 4 years with very few problems. Thanks for watching!
Sooo.....Where does the poop go? (Seriously...What happens afterwards when the tub is full?) How do you reuse it for compost on the TwelveAcres?
The tub is emptied into a dedicated compost pile. We never really use the compost. It breaks down very quickly and is a great way to get rid of the waste. Thanks for watching!
How do you stop snakes from getting in your outhouse?
We don’t try to stop them, they just don’t go in there. There really is not to many snakes around here. Garder and Milk snakes mostly Thanks for watching!
That knot is called a truckers knot, it works much better than any tie downs and there is nothing to loose.
I’d love to see a video on how to build the log structure instead of the metal frame 😊
What size tent is in the video? Can they be shipped to Alaska? 😊
The tent and rain fly are from Davis Tent in Colorado. They have many great tent packages! I’m sure they would ship to Alaska. Thanks for watching!
Is it like living in a regular cabin or home with insulation can it be just as warm at night with a Davis tent?
With a proper sized wood stove they will heat up very fast. They will also cool down very fast. Keeping the fires going is key. So no, it’s not like an insulated home or cabin. Thanks for watching!
I love what you have done. So happy I came across your channel. I was going to buy one off these tents from China as there a lot cheaper than Australia. Not anymorre. I will go with the same company you used. Will get there largest tent. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! And tell them I sent you lol
@@mytwelveacres3071 Will Do. 🤙💯
Love it. What did it cost you?
You could make a killing setting these up for people.
Thanks for watching!
Nice setup, I really like it
😂😂😂😂 very interesting opinions on what we should consider according to you 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing? Is this outhouse utilized full time (24 hrs/day 7 days/week)? If not, how often? How many people in your family are continually using it? How long approximately does it take to fill 1/2 of the 30 gallon bucket? We need a full-time outhouse for our one income (a very modest one at that!), homeschooling family of 7 in Nova Scotia, Canada (harsh winters). We won't have access to wood chips and could never afford to purchase them for full-time outhouse use. What could we use as a free or very inexpensive substitute? Would you recommend this type of outhouse for our full-time use and in our climate? Thanks, so much! 🙂
yeah but what about permits. My county says any shelter up more than six months becomes a structure and if it is bigger than 10 x 12 then said structure requires a permit. So you either take down a BIGGER shelter every six months - and set it up somewhere else on the property - or you...stay with 10 x 12 structures that are cabin-tents. thanks
In our area, anything larger than 12x12 needs a permit. Our setup is right at that threshold so no permits needed. If we were to go larger with a second tent, then we would have to get a permit. Thanks for watching!
A second one and rent them out. I would stay there at least twice a year.
We have thought about that but haven’t made the decision yet. Thanks for watching!
I understand you can use leaves or any light brown matter to help with odor and keeping things dry. Im wondering about the flies. I just set up an diy 4' deep doggy dooley which has a secure fly proof lid. You don't smell much at all.
We don’t have any issues with flies with our system. Thanks for watching!
I'm new here. Like what you're doing. Where is this located? Wondering if a tent would hold up in my area.
A home anyone would be proud to own.
Nice, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Whats your location? Is there a creek?
How big is the tent?
The tent is 12x12. Thanks for watching!
Little blustem broom-sedge
Gray Dogwood- good native shrub, from catbirds, to pilated woodpeckers to browse. Try cutting them flush with ground, after they get age to them. The fresh shoots will attract everything from rabbits to whitetails.
Yes that’s basically what we do. In some places we don’t want the grey dogwood coming back and address it differently. It can dominant an area if you let it and that is what happened on this property before we bought it. Thanks for watching!
So we built a tent inside a tent?
The tent is under a rainfly to protect it from the elements. Over time the sun, rain and especially snow can adversely affect the cotton tent fabric. It is way cheaper to replace the rain fly than to replace the tent. We have had our tent setup for almost four years and it is still in great shape. Thanks for watching!
I like tent camping but fire ants are a real problem in Florida , I seen people using a wall tent to have a place to sleep when they build there house
I bet they are. We don’t have anything like that here….Thanks for watching!
We are romping this weekend! I hope you had a relaxing time! Sometimes, we need the downtime.
I have wild onions that grow all over my property. These bring doe's. I have between 6 to 8 doe's daily.
If you buy peppermint oil and mix it with water and inside and out it will keep mice away. Maybe grow peppermint around the base too. Mice hate peppermint it bothers them a lot!
Thanks. I’ll try that. And thanks for watching!
I second that recommendation. We've had issues with mice getting into our cars, and the peppermint oil has been the only thing that keeps them away.
Would you be able to tell me what kind of materials you used to make your heat shield? I want to take care of my tent and help it last as long as possible! Thanks!
We just used some corrugated roofing material that we had left over from another project and framed it with some 2x4 pine.
Great vedio! I have been watching all your videos that show your wood stove and how you installed the stove jack. I'm about to install a wood stove on Friday, in my wall tent through the side wall as well! I wasn't able to find where you talk about the heat shield/heat reflector that you have behind your stove. I have never used a woodstove in a wall tent before. Do you find it necessary for safety? or is it more of a heating efficiency sort of thing? THANK YOU!
Hey thanks for watching! When we went to a larger stove I put the heat shield in. We never had one before that and I never felt as though it was unsafe and it would most likely be fine now without one. The fabric on our tent is fire proof so that is a consideration as well. For the most part I put it up to protect the fabric from the heat in hopes that it would last longer. Hope that helps
Thanks for getting back to me! I have learned so much from your videos! Stay warm you guys!
We had a swarm earlier this week, same day that we were going to hit a record 31F for March that night. I hope they decide to stick around since we put them in a nice warm hive out of the wind. So far so good. These warm spring-like days really has everything confused.
We are at least a month away from having any swarming I think. I caught my two swarms towards the end of May last year. We are looking forward to getting honey this year. We didn’t take any from our hives last year.
@mytwelveacres3071 We are a bit farther south than you are. Due to drought last year we didn't pull any honey either. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can get this year. Good luck with your new hive too!
