I love seeing Henry become one of the crew. He’s reminding me of Mr. Brown when he was just a little guy. Seems like just yesterday he was being born in the car at the gas station! 🥰
The more I watch this, the more I like your family Jusin & Rebecca. When Jonah said “shouldn’t we stop” on noticing the car on fire on the side of the road, I thought wow, these kids have a genuine, caring mindset! Also, congratulations to Lily on the success of her jewellery at Homesteaders. Continued success… Steven
Glad you’re home safely! Nice to see Jonah so mobile, again. And back on the bike if just sitting while recovering. The kids and Bec are dreamy travel companions! Finally, Kudos to your farm sitter!!
Hey Sheree Lillie I think someone is answering me and pretending to be Justin. How do I find out for sure, do you know? Those replies are also on other posts on here.
I am from the Townsend/Alcoa/Lenoir City TN area and my hubby is from Murphy NC...we love our Mountains like you do! Another wonderful video. Love you guys!
Justin, I totally agree, there is something special about the North Carolina mountains. I live in Northern VA. My kids live near Front Royal but lived in the Charlotte area for 20 years. Many trips to the mountains. My sister & I do yearly NC mountain trips. I recognize those rest stops😉You are truly are blessed🌄
The rest areas in the west are different. Texas rest areas west of Dallas have great murals. Some in Arizona and New Mexico have no roofs. Montana and Idaho have steep metal roofs to shed the heavy snow, and are heated for refuge if stuck in winter storms.
Those mountains in VA are the same mountain range in TN and NC. It's the Appalachian and they run all the way up to New England. When we traveled with our kids, we taught them the capital of every state we went through and any other interesting trivia about the area. Thank you for another great video.
Rebecca is a hoot! Keeping that schedule, whipping up the troops and driving hard! Luv it! Our NC farm is around 3,000 feet and we will have peak color in a week or two. Amazing color this year!
Yep! Virginia DOES have very thick fog. And yes, we DO have beautiful mountains!😊 And you guys TOTALLY passes my exit on I-81! Exit 128 to Ironto is my exit.👋 Sorry I missed ya!
Went to Beech Mountain, North Carolina this past weekend with my husband for a one year anniversary! can absolutely agree that the mountains are beautiful!!
My only time in Virginia was a stopover in Dulles airport. When I was nine my family took a road trip from Chicago to Charleston, SC and spent a night in Asheville, NC. I hadn’t seen mountain before that and I was really amazed by the Smokey Mountains
Home sweet home! I'm sure the kids were glad to be back in their own beds that night. I'd say little Henry is a pretty good traveler all things considered. And you sure saw some beautiful God's country. It must have been such a blessing to see the great job your farm sitter did for you.
I am working at a thrift store right now. I was excited to find a Patagonia zip up like my favorite TH-cam celebrity/homesteader that I had the pleasure of meeting on MN at a meetup during the Great American Farm tour.
Welcome to ground fog, we get it out here in WV often. The rest areas were probably built by the same contractors. Your glass water jug reminded me of Doug from "Doug and Stacy".
Love this video…. Love all your videos…. One of the secrets for growing delicious fruits is WATER WATER WATER…. Wait until the weather has a cold snap in the fall before picking apples. It’s called “ snapping the apples” this is what brings a lot of the sweetness and juices that adds and finalizes all the taste into the apples. I remember picking apples on my grandpas apple orchard late into the fall time as a child. Frozen hands and fingers but man oh man, that guys was one of the best at growing delicious, sweet and tangy apples. And the apple cider was beyond words.
If you had a fire extinguisher you should pull over 8:48. My husband's car caught fire and he was lucky enough to pull into a business that was open and actually had a fire extinguisher for him to use.
Love the vlog of you driving home. Glad you had a safe journey home. Whats the next big job for you? Jonah looks really well and it won't be long before he's back helping. Love and blessings to you all xjx
I am partial to the Adirondack mountains.. But those look like beauties. Henry is very agile for his age. Exhausted just seeing what you have to pack for a trip.
Glad to see you made it home! Eggs are hard to tell apart. But wait until your stomach works over a plate of them. I can tell store bought by the rocks that they make in my belly.
I was in South Carolina and Georgia and almost to North Carolina this past weekend. Then the weekend of Dec. 2, 3, 4, 2022 we will be staying in North Carolina even though my neices wedding is in South Carolina. Very beautiful area.
Not that you have the time to read comments here, but i have to say i believe , imho, the reason Gauchi's apples taste so wonderful& amazing is because he always acknowledges the Creator, constantly. Gratefulness brings happiness, he brims with this!!! I LOVE fish soup!! but I don't run a farm full of animals & you need a whole lot more calories for this & running with the kids on a trip when being cranky is the usual.
Great driving,Rebekah 💜💜 The vehicle on fire is why we always have a fire extinguisher in our vehicle. It happens more than you think and it’s an easy addition to the trunk, just in case 😊 Add one to the trailer just because it’s always great to be extra and special 😁💜😁
I farm/house sit for several friends. I can't imagine not feeding the animals. That baffles me. I pretty much move in so it's my job. I don't charge but let the families pay what they feel it's worth. Just the way I do it.
I just made the trip from central New York to southern Tennessee so I feel Gideons displeasure with Virginia. It was the single longest stretch for my wife and I out of the 15 hour road trip. Still a very very beautiful state though.
Justin, as you were showing the side of your house that is being worked on, have you thought about rebuilding your porch off the kitchen and connecting it to the porch off the dining room? I would love to see the porch off the kitchen rebuilt with tongue and groove ceiling, that bare plywood is a bit tacky. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
I love how you plan for your breaks ❤️we drove across Canada from Ontario to northern Alberta with 3 kids under 9 we planned ahead for motels with swimming pools. Energy breaks lunch breaks for hour then quiet time with music and video games for the afternoon most slept through the afternoon. Was amazing how they adapt to the travel ❤️❤️❤️
Idea... Homestead encyclopedia. You can get the whole set or just by subject like, livestock, preservation, health, garden.... ok yeah that would take YEARS.
An interesting Netflix show on master chefs had one who would have his farmer feed the chickens exclusivity red peppers and it made the yolks bright red. Would be a cool to experiment with micro flocks to test various specific diets to affect taste.
Lol, yeah guys if you don't drive with an extinguisher in the car, you can't put out anybody's car fire. That includes your car if something happens, so if you have the means to do so, please consider adding an extinguisher to a mount in the trunk or somesuch.
I’ve always thrown out bacon that smelled a little funky, but I was advised by my boss at a restaurant to cook it first and if it still smells funky then it’s bad but sometimes it will cook out and be absolutely fine! To be fair quite the cure and smoke process so it lasts for longer then you think
Couldn’t help seeing the difference in the home lay down between the first and this one lots of changes in the front yard. You tend to forget what it used to look like….
I am glad you enjoyed your trip and your time at the Home of America. I was wondering Justin what do you do with those other cabins/homes on your property do you hire them out as an B&B?. Glad that you all got back home safely.
Hey there , glad u guys got away and had some fun.. well deserved for sure. I do have a question.......it's going to sound weird, but ...do you thinknyou could check a few of your persimmon seeds to see what the weather might be this year? Is it true that you can know if there is going to be lots of snow ? If you know what I'm talking about will you please just take a few minutes and do that when you get time. We down here in Bama would so appreciate you . Thanks in advance ☺️.
@6:08 Sounds like that blind test made a real impression on you. You could do something with that, try other things, your bacon vs organic store bacon, your milk, your vegetables. You could even make taste more of a priority when making decisions on what kinds of things to farm. I'll bet you can find somethings that you do better and some the store does better and that's valuable information even if you still choose your own, it simply makes you aware of what costs you are actually paying. Maybe doing it yourself is still better if it's only 10% less tasty, but some things aren't. Seems like the kind of long term investigation you like to do. Once per month do a taste test yours vs store. Sounds like fun.
Also, test nutrition of the store bought to the home grown. I buy organic, pasture raised eggs. My brother in law the standard, as he likes the jumbo eggs. But his yokes are pale yellow, mine are bright orange to deep orange, like the eggs from the chickens my Dad used to raise. To me that says they are the healthier option. Hopefully I can get my container garden going this coming spring. I rent so no digging. God bless.
It is better to sip water a little at a time to allow the body to absorb it into its cells. Drinking water fast or gluping, guzzling water makes the body dump it into the bladder because the body can only absorb so much at a time. So if you find you drink water but eliminate it a lot, consider your method of drinking water.
Jason, love your mountains! But bring the family to Colorado, and try out some real mountains! 50 plus that are over 1400 feet. We would love to have you
If you have to pee a lot, Justin, have your prostate numbers checked....my husband had to pee a lot and didn't go to his dr. until it was too late.!!! He was also 80.!
I've been a sub to your channel for, I don't even remember how long, but I knew about you for longer due to my father. I dont comment hardly on the people I watch, as I would imagine the same for a great deal of audience members throughout youtube. But this episode resonated with me, more than enough to actually express my opinion publicly. Between how you and Becky traveled with the kids (though albeit I'm the one that usually drives), the little one falling asleep before getting on the main road. The accident and wondering if we should pull over. Getting home and realizing how beautiful it is realizing what it is that you have. But, what tipped the bucket is the part about paying for a farm sitter. I realize that location vs viewing demographic is at play here. But my family and I would traveled, just to take care of your homestead at no cost to you. In fact, if I could support my family and work for you for free, I would gladly do so. I'm going to stop here as it's not the place to ramble about personal info, but I wish I could email you guys to talk. I saw I, because my wife doesn't really watch TH-cam, but she know about this channel and your family due the many aspirations I've mentioned over the years but have never really quite achieved. Anyway, take care and God bless.
I would think that the most important thing is feeding the animals. I am not a farmer, but I would think that its the most important thing, then keeping them safe and healthy, and then extra stuff if its time for it.
I love seeing Henry become one of the crew. He’s reminding me of Mr. Brown when he was just a little guy. Seems like just yesterday he was being born in the car at the gas station! 🥰
Remember to include a loading dock in your new house plans. Many times I wished I’d had something like your porch to back a trailer or truck up to. 😊
such a good idea
Blessings to all!
Becca. You're very resilient. Justin, you're a good example. Both of you together make for a great team leader for those kids 👏 🙌 💙
They have achieved a very admirable devision of labor based on natural skill set. #relationship goals.
That baby is oh so precious!
The more I watch this, the more I like your family Jusin & Rebecca. When Jonah said “shouldn’t we stop” on noticing the car on fire on the side of the road, I thought wow, these kids have a genuine, caring mindset!

so glad you're home safe & sound 🐽~ good to go away, good to return to your castle🕍.
your kids are wonderful.
Glad you’re home safely! Nice to see Jonah so mobile, again. And back on the bike if just sitting while recovering. The kids and Bec are dreamy travel companions! Finally, Kudos to your farm sitter!!

@@wendyburston3132 They are a scam.
@@HollerGramma thanks
I see fall colors in those trees. I love it.
Henry running… so joyful!
Welcome back home! I completely agree with you Justin..nothing like our NC Mountains! It is home! Blessings🙏❤️
Nothing like a road trip with the family!
I am from the Townsend/Alcoa/Lenoir City TN area and my hubby is from Murphy NC...we love our Mountains like you do! Another wonderful video. Love you guys!
Maggie Valley area here..nothing like our NC Mountains! 🙏
Justin, I totally agree, there is something special about the North Carolina mountains. I live in Northern VA. My kids live near Front Royal but lived in the Charlotte area for 20 years. Many trips to the mountains. My sister & I do yearly NC mountain trips. I recognize those rest stops😉You are truly are blessed🌄
Well done family!!! God bless you all greatly!!
Glad you guys are home safe. I enjoyed your trip. 😄
💚 How awesome to come home to the results of a good farmsitter! Love seeing Henry running so much now, he's really got it going on! 💚
The rest areas in the west are different. Texas rest areas west of Dallas have great murals. Some in Arizona and New Mexico have no roofs. Montana and Idaho have steep metal roofs to shed the heavy snow, and are heated for refuge if stuck in winter storms.
Henry’s so cute!! 😊
There’s no place like home! Great that your travels went well! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
You guys bring me such joy whilst watching your adventures. So much fun! Have a spectacular Family Day! NC sure is gorgeous.
Those mountains in VA are the same mountain range in TN and NC. It's the Appalachian and they run all the way up to New England. When we traveled with our kids, we taught them the capital of every state we went through and any other interesting trivia about the area. Thank you for another great video.
The Blue Ridge Mountains in VA is probably what they saw. But yes they are part of the Appalachian Mtns
I had a great time at HOA seeing everyone again!
Now it's there, thanks
Rebecca is a hoot! Keeping that schedule, whipping up the troops and driving hard! Luv it!
Our NC farm is around 3,000 feet and we will have peak color in a week or two. Amazing color this year!
Henery looks just like Gidion when I first started watching makes me smile.
Good evening, I am so happy you all made it home safely!!! Home sweet home!!
I love North Carolina! We were just in Asheville a week ago (and for a week) visiting relatives and attending the quilt show. Love those mountains!
Sweetie, it's not good for your kidneys to hold it. Ok! I love your family and you ❤️ God's got your story, enjoy the ride.
Yep! Virginia DOES have very thick fog. And yes, we DO have beautiful mountains!😊 And you guys TOTALLY passes my exit on I-81! Exit 128 to Ironto is my exit.👋 Sorry I missed ya!
I feel the same way you do about NC when I see that VA sign :) You're right- there's no place like home!
Glad you guys made it home ok! It's nice to travel but when you get home, is the best
Love watching you blogs. Learn so much.
The kids look like that they had a great time.
Glad y'all made it home safe! 🤗❤👍
You and your family are the best ❤❤❤
Must agree…there is nothing better than the western NC mountains ❤
Went to Beech Mountain, North Carolina this past weekend with my husband for a one year anniversary! can absolutely agree that the mountains are beautiful!!

Unpacking is the worst part of a trip, lucky for you, you have many hands!

Justin, you need to visit the Cascade mountains! My view is Mt. Rainer!!.
I just made the trip from central New York to southern Tennessee so I feel Gideons displeasure with Virginia. It was the single longest stretch for my wife and I out of the 15 hour road trip. Still a very very beautiful state though.

Honeycrisp 🍎 apples one of my favorites. I just bought some too 😊 and some peanut butter

Ive been all through Va, WV, NC, TN KY SC I live in Central Maine and our mountains are pretty too. Yall should come visit sometime!
I’ve always thrown out bacon that smelled a little funky, but I was advised by my boss at a restaurant to cook it first and if it still smells funky then it’s bad but sometimes it will cook out and be absolutely fine! To be fair quite the cure and smoke process so it lasts for longer then you think
Milk Duds !! LOL Justin you made me laugh really hard when you tried to hide but you said
LoL Justin, your camera lens has been dirty for awhile. I kept thinking it was my TV. 😂
Couldn’t help seeing the difference in the home lay down between the first and this one lots of changes in the front yard. You tend to forget what it used to look like….
I am glad you enjoyed your trip and your time at the Home of America. I was wondering Justin what do you do with those other cabins/homes on your property do you hire them out as an B&B?. Glad that you all got back home safely.
Glad ya'll made it home safe, but when are you coming to Maryland!

SoilBrotha's, SoilSista's... SoilFamily 💕
Hope your diet gets easier. God bless!

Yup! Still in Virginia!!! It never ends!!!
awww henry got a mini sprint now
Rebecca sounds like me when I drive. My hubby always lets me do most the driving on road trips cause I get us there quicker. 😂

Like Judy Garland said in The Wizard of Oz......there's no place like home.
Arkansas has some beautiful rest areas. I figure they know the value of tourism
5 kids, no, you shouldn’t ever pull over! 😮😮
lol, i'm never eating Milk Dud's ever again.
It’s migicalist delicious. Good to be home
Rebekkah should write that book: Ten things to stay heathy on the homestead by Rebekkah Rhodes..
Jason, love your mountains! But bring the family to Colorado, and try out some real mountains! 50 plus that are over 1400 feet. We would love to have you
Sorry 14000 feet
Next time get more clips of the beautiful nature while wify is driving lol love u guys

Wifey got her a heavy foot lol.... left lane on the interstate lol
I am always in the right lane except the occasional to pass someone or make a left turn. Too many craziness in the left lane.
what did Lily clear on her Jewelry? Will you have her show us? And will she do it again?
