You thought you were raising farmers/homesteaders but they are going to be heavy equipment operators. 😁 Very cool. It runs in the family !
We live on top of a hill and our neighbor owns a dozer, we hired him for 3-4 hours of work. What took him to do in that amount of time we’d still be clearing in 2 years. Highly recommend getting big machines to do the heavy work.
Watching this video makes a person realize how hard pioneers worked to clear land by hand. 🙂
A lot of times pioneers would just burn the forest down to clear fields. Not all by hand
Just think of all the firewood!! Much more than 2600 dollars!!! Great plans. Thank you for sharing your journey.
You've come a long way from having Zucchini boats for dinner a few nights a week! SOOO happy for y'all!!
So nice to see Josiah having a lot of confidence in himself and he certainly is coming out of his shell and taking on that machine he is a very capable young man. Glad to see Jonah is doing so well after his surgery and seeing the whole family enjoying the end of day and seeing the fruits of the big machine clearing all that land. Well done.
Helping and keeping family employed. It's all good! BTW tell Jonah he is in my prayers. I have five beautiful sons and a few have had surgeries and accidents so this mom knows how your mom feels. Get well wonderful, intelligent young man. God bless all the rest of you Rhodes as well.
amen ditto
Boy they can clear some land in a day. Plus entertainment for the kids.
Rebekah mentioned looking for stoves and I wanted to throw out lacanche stoves. May be back ordered aways but they have big ranges with double ovens and are well built.
Hello my friend how are you doing today?
to bad you could not pull in one of those big chippers. that pile would give you a years worth of shavings
Ty this helps me to try to keep going on, 73 with extreme issues, grieving not easy living alone, no family 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Can we please make a video compilation of Henry. My heart becomes happy every time I see him. Henry is a blessing for us all.
That's cool Justin that you could get your cousins to clear that a acre in a day! That is soo fast! It looks so good! Some of these huge trees look like they could be milled for lumber. They are nice and straight. It would be sad to just use them for firewood. This was fun to watch! Thanks for this Rhodes family! I like how the boys got to pitch in moving some of the firewood piles.
It’s gonna cost you a lot more than $2600/day because Jonah’s going to want a BIGGER CAT! 😂JK!
Bigger is better😂😅
No he needs that John Deere 210 P
And he has family in the site formation business who he could work for possibly in the future.
For real! 😂
Your so right about that
The little kid in me is absolutely delighted! Big, yellow, motorized dinosaurs are chomping all of that stuff up! Wheeee!!!
Rebecca- thanks for the reminder to keep dreaming! We are still in the clearing by hand phase, and dreaming of what we can do with our land. ~Kayla
That was SO impressive to see. Wow! So exciting to see the progress on the land. You all did such a good job on your 100 days, it is amazing what consistency over time can do. Very cool to see the blessing hard work can be for family, and extended family. The ripple effect is such an encouragement to see. Thank you Rebecca for reminding us to dream, even if we can not see it right now.
He has money that just farmers don’t have. In addition to being a farmer Justin is a business man. He wrote a book on his methods of farming and gardening, he now has his kids book out, he has Abundance plus, he holds workshops. This man is busy. Not just with his hands but also his brain. He shows us what we are all capable of. But we have to put in the hard work. He’s done/still doing that and reaping all the rewards!!
This is so good getting the whole family involved, and all that potential firewood for winter!!
Oh, yeah. I have a friend with maybe 20 acres, and on it a few old pines, some oaks, birches. And just from the windfall and necessary pruning each year, he's got firewood forever.
Family Motto: I've always loved hard work....I can sit and watch it for hours !!!! Great job ongoing .... hope you all decide to clear and take in the view !
I would think it would depend on their prevailing winds (if they have them there)
These folks knew their stuff. Good idea! Heckuva burn pile! You've got a lotta benefit for the price.
Those machines were really cool to watch, by the way, looks like Jonah's surgery has healed up enough for him to be moving around ok, that dude is amazing! not sure if i could move around that well that quickly
Two things struck me today. "Aim for the impossible, and extraordinary things will happen." And the pleasure and smile in noting as you passed the water wheel in action.
I made an entire video about it just last week
I watched the video last week, and seeing the wheel in action as you walked by, I noted it still running.
I'm a few months shy of 70, come from grandparents who reached an average of 102, and am looking for a small parcel of land here to build a permaculture homestead. Because of Jonah's waterwheel, I have added the hydropower option. It is a good design in both construction and function.
Impressive! No wonder my papa always admired these machines. I think it was worth every penny.
Justine, good to see a man enjoying the reward of his live time labor. This is paying off big time sir. Be blessed.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Exactly, I’ve been watching them almost from the day they started sharing their lives. Believe me they’ve come a long way. They totally deserve it. I’m so happy for them.
Now that was satisfying to watch, like Pacman just gobbling everything in their path, made it look super easy. Was so cute to see your little machine cart of some logs cut down by big daddy
Your vlogs have been so much better since you got back from your vacation! Much more of your family interactions… The kids seem happier!
Hi Hollar house,
I might be a little too late for my comment.
May I suggest, all downed timber, grasses dirt etcc.. could be piled up on contour. Then whether you burn it, or it simply rots... it catches water and run off soil. This then holds and soaks back into your farm.
Good deal. We cleared 3.5 acres that were full of large hardwoods for about $8000 with rented excavator and bulldozer.
Your videos have inspired me as a early teen to go into small scale agriculture i have my own small pollytunel and am selling food at the country market and saving up for an even bigger one thank you so much you are an inspiration.
I loved this video! I love watching the big machines progress!!!
Good morning! Your pasture is looking awesome!! All your family’s hard work is all coming together. Good stuff!
I bet Jonah is working that machine . He is a true pro .
Hello my friend how are you doing today?
I'm so glad you got some help. You've been working so hard.
Amazing to see the progress! Happy for you all!
Excellent!!! You have uncovered a wonderful seed bank. Can't wait to see it green 👍
This is the most excited and inspired I've been with you, ❤️ that's saying a lot having watched you all grow for so long
Wow, that was amazing work. So excited for y'all. God bless!
Wow, that new rolly polly acerage is awesome! Happy for your continued victories! Well done.
The new pasture looks beautiful!
Enjoyed this video, those guys are really good at the job they are doing!
Really stunning what you all are doing. So very happy for Jonah.
WOW What a cool days work & thanks you to your Cosines for coming to help the family like that. & you did not know they where family till they got there. What a cool gift in a way. To meet more of your family like that. Great they wanted to help you save some money to.
Epic! Wow! This really changes things up! Love it!❤😊
Wonderful progress; thanks for sharing! Nice to see the whole family enjoying the end of day! Josiah is doing awesome running that equipment! Blessings to all🤗💜🇨🇦
Jonah's standing there soaking it all in. Taking notes and pretty soon ready to kick a**.
I would always watch a webcam...& the vlog too!!🙂
Watching people work has helped me relax & recover from shingles, PHN & C-19.
That was amazing to watch…those machines are monsters…looking forward to seeing the way it will look wen it’s all done
I don't know how $2,600 is affordable for most homesteaders, but great job using your resources to get a difficult job done!
I'm so happy for the blessings that you have worked so hard for!
#homesteadgoals
$2,600 for an acre of pasture is extremely affordable. Nobody is gonna be able to buy that for so cheap. If a homesteader we’re looking for more land then this would easily be the most affordable option
@@Mh7272 You can't just pay someone $2600 to clear an acre of land and then claim you own it. You have to own it to begin with. And $2600 to pay someone to come clear it for you, is not affordable for a lot.
He’s also a TH-camr so that might bring in some money
@@ethanscholten1383 I would say You Tube is bringing in a tidy income here. Between advertising / Sponsorships / Merchandise and over 1 Million subscribers and healthy viewing rates I would say they are very comfortable financially.
@@trihex9 that’s definitely not what anyone was saying bud. In his situation this was the most affordable option. There is absolutely no more affordable option to obtaining pasture than what he did. Even if you were to buy wooded land and pay someone to clear it it’d still be cheaper than buying pasture/field straight up. If you can’t afford 2,600 an acre then you can’t afford an acre at all. If you want free land keep dreaming
I sure hope you reconsider that burn pile as a mulch pile! you could be mulching that entire area!
Now that's impressive. And so fun to watch.
I hope you can find some old aerial footage of the cleared area before you started working and can compare that do some aerial shots when you are finished. I'd love to see a lot of before and after footage.
I’ve always said that every guy has a little boy who loves to watch equipment working.
Very smart sir and you make work look fun!
Wow!!! So much going on Remodeling Home, Clearing the big trees to finish making more pastures. Y'all are so amazing!!!!! Jonah came trough surgery amazing! I just love how your kids are so well behaved. They are so helpful and sweet. Be very proud, your great parents. Now a days you see parents that don't spend very much time with their kids and that's what's wrong with so many kids!!!!! They didn't have the love, caring and nurturing they needed as children! God bless your family!
It looks awesome in between what the machines are doing and what you and your family did to start clearing it how very rewarding! Don’t pay attention to some of the people who are talking negatively. I think it’s great what you’re doing!
I'm so happy and excited for your family 😊❤️
I got a 48" propane double oven 6 burners and a flat grill on it, a couple months ago, I love it
Wow. Now thats constructive work! Beautiful 😍 awesome job 👏 👍 😀
I get more and more excited for yall with each video!!!
I love watching big machines work.
Good morning from SC!
I’m watching this while eating breakfast over looking a 1/2 acre of my land that we’ve left be wild while we spent 18 years fixing up 1.5 acres for homestead fun. I’ve always wanted a gazebo and wildlife garden over there, but it’s not easy to eat to with machinery. I’m thinking now!
Wow! That is absolutely amazing!!!
Ya the boys are saying I want one of those tracktor's!!! Really open your perspective! 👍👍👍🤗❤
Awesome progress
The property looks fantastic!
Creating such a legacy indeed! That was some amazing heavy duty machinery and what a job those guys did. Look out, Jonah will get bored with his little dozer and want one of those monsters. Then just wait until Henry gets old enough to drive one - oh my, Justin is in trouble.
Yes, and we out here also like watching YOU work! 💗🤣
That was so much fun to watch.
Plant some fruit and nut trees in that new pasture :)
I am so happy for you all! Looks amazing. Your videos seem different lately. Don’t seem so manic
I was concerned when your small boy climbed that hugh pile of debris but he didn't slip. Kids are more sure footed. I knew many holes he could fall down into & do like big brother did to his hip. So glad he is doing so well. Praise the Lord! God is good. Your land looks nice. Worth the hours of work.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there
The power of machines is awesome if you know what your doing, you can wreck alot of ground if you dont i think its awesome you are able to do this after years of hard work and you are spreading your money around your community. To the people that say how can you afford it budget and mangement you will get there.
Be grateful for any. I live in the desert and have no pastures.
Very lucky my friend. I would love to have some property. I have no clue how I could get it but it would be nice. Let my father see it before he dies. He’s a young 98-year-old can see is chickens.
If you get a sawmill all those trees you are downing could be milled into free lumber for your remodeling project and other projects like your shelters for the livestock
Incredible..well done
Hey Ya'll, My sister Lainie was an avid genealogist she said we are all cousins. I like to take that to mean we are one Family. La Familia de Gaia! sorry I made that up because I don't speak Spanish. But you get my drift. This is getting really real! WoW! ❤🥰
Go with a Wolfe we just put one in our new home and we love it Price is expensive but worth it
Sometimes you have to shock the system its going to look really good with grass growing.
$2600 a day= 1 acre. So 2 acre homestead clearing = $5200 $5200/100 days it took to clear=$52 dollars a day pretty much a no brainer if you have the money to spend or can save it up.
Will you be able to re-purpose any of those trees Justin? maybe lumber, fence posts or even wood-chip? I realize to ash will make a good soil fertilizer./conditioner.
If you had a sawmill you could mill your own lumber
Excellent work. Have used Forestry mulchers followed by selective thinning with big machines for great success. Would suggest that next time rather than brush cutters and chainsaws. Big machines can do amazing things in a very short time. The operator is key, choose a good one.
I would leave it as it is without a view could be a pasture for when it’s really hot to put the cows for shaded area
Beautiful !
“Smell the roses” ❤
Looks very good
I see so much firewood. Yay.
What a blessing!
When it comes to breaking down a building these big machine save some much time and effort.
That is an awesome site.
All day, every day!!! Awesome!!!
I think you can make sawdust and get fertilizer instead of burning the small branches of the tree👍
Maybe while you are at it you could try and get some more land cleared !! So you could get more sunshine !! The trees are huge .
I've been watching the Rhodes family for about five years and for any new watchers one thing to realize is this folks have a bit of money from the TH-cam and whatever else so they are able to do a lot of things that a normal quote-unquote homestead middle-class family would not be able to do and they definitely veer on the side of loving the internal combustion engine a lot different from some of the more hippie type farms or permaculture installations
Here comes the IRS
Just wish they weren't ripping out that new bathroom that seems like they just finished. Totally understand they need more space just seems like a waste to rip it out.
@@CloggingSweetyG1 yes. I did 4 bathrooms in my house..one at a time..old 70 house..I can tell you how expensive they are
so exciting for all
That was awesome❤
You won't need to worry about firewood for a while : )
Lookin good 👍👍👵🏻👩🌾❣️
worried about clear felling on a slope such as that we have just had major floods here in New Zealand and lost feet of top soil and all the slash ( tree felling leave behinds) ended up in rivers taking out major bridges and wrecking whole neighbourhoods on East Coast
Looks like they're planning on planting it to grass, so once the grass is established, that should help hold it in place.
