    Question of the day: what do you do for a living? 🤔

      I live on a remote farm with my kids. We try to be self sufficient, so we work the land and grow our food. Haven't had a 'real' job since Covid, and no Centrelink handouts either. It makes life tough, but it is fulfilling. And of course 'Wanna Be' You Tubers, sharing our journey - and if nothing else my editing is getting better!! Susan XXX

      She is amazing! I can't wait to be sitting in her with the pets and Sam!
      I honestly don't know how he survived, luckily he could have a hot shower straight away; 🤣

    Hi Di and Sam. Hey where’s my snag? They look good. Nice camp spot. Great first. lol at Sam’s reaction to leaking water. We get the pleasure of bats most nights Di. They are awesome to watch. I’m with you Di ti cold to swim just now. The dogs are being so well behaved. Loving the kangers. Halls gap is great to see. Another great video. Thanks guys.

      Thanks Rose 😊 it was a great trip with many fun memories and laughs. Glad he knew what was happening with the water at least, because I was worried! Not the thing you want to see when you're supposed to be self sufficient!!!
      Way too cold 🥶🥶🥶 his legs were numb after hahahha

      @@DiandSam I would have been worried also. I, not surprised his legs were numb. Way to cold for that at present.

    Awesome video. I suppose I can forgive you for not visiting this time around, lol. Especially since your view is so nice!! Great you are learning how to live more harmoniously with the bus, and the solar systems. Lots of little things to learn along the way. But 'Diane' put on some long pants if it's chilly, lol. I feel cold just looking at you in shorts 🙂. Much love, Susan. xxx

      This time, there will certainly be another! Just wait until you see what happened next... to say we're glad we made the decision to go home earlier is an understatement!!!
      So much learning and growth in a short amount of time - each time the trip gets easier and more comfortable - grateful!
      hahahaha I can't help it, as soon as the weather hints Spring I'm done with pants! hahaha - doesnt help when you don't have a washing machine either and they're all dirty hahahaha

    It’s a pity you can’t travel together in the bus, will you consider getting a couple of e bikes in the future and leave the car at home. Sam you are nuts going for a swim I’m sure I heard your voice go up a pitch ha ha 😂. Enjoy your travels.

    • @DiandSam
      @DiandSam  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We completely agree!!! Definitely working on making it happen so we're together in the bus, we have 1 E bike and are yet to get the second. They take up a lot of room, so hoping to get a rack organised first
      Hahahaha he is crazy!!! Definitely a cold plunge in that water 🤣🤣🤣

    Hey Di and Sam, just wondering where you empty your composting toilet? Would love to know! 😊

    • @DiandSam
      @DiandSam  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question!
      Because we seperate urine from solids were able to safely and hygienically dispose of both. So the urine tank gets dumped out around native trees or boundaries, in the same place as the grey tank.
      While the poo portion since it is on its way to becoming compost is bagged up and put in normal landfill bins, where eventually it'll decompose.
      One day we hope to be able to close the loop by having a humanure compost bin and utilising the soil on natives, however we don't have our own property yet :)
