Hello neighbor, I’m originally from Illinois and really appreciate all of the freedoms we enjoy in Missouri. I finished my career in the Army Engineer Corps and have massive respect for the Seabees!
That is a huge compliment from someone with so much experience, thank you!! This was the first year that we used neem on the corn and it was a resounding success 😊
Unless you're extremely wealthy or have an inheritance coming, buying this kind of property is pretty much completely out of reach for most people right now. A few years ago you could get 30 acres in a remote area Missouri / Arkansas for $1000 - $2500 an acre. Now people are asking $10,000 per acre of totally undeveloped land.... we're talking land with no clearings, no rural water, electricity or anything else. I was lucky to get 30 acres and a house an hour from town before everything went up astronomically....but unless you're a multimillionaire, you're not gonna be homesteading on anything more than a couple of acres. My closest neighbors (about a mile down the road) bought their property right next to me in 2000 for $300 an acre!
It is very true That land prices have really skyrocketed. We were fortunate to have bought before Covid which in our area was the factor that caused everything to triple or quadruple in price as far as land goes. That being said, I would still go after most of the projects that we have completed, even if our land was much smaller. One to 45 acres of land has a lot of potential depending on the types of agriculture that somebody wants to practice. And I think raised bed gardening should be practiced by everyone, it really produces a lot of food in a small amount of space.😊
@@HomesteadRanger I agree that smaller tracts of land can have just as much potential - however even those tracts are priced much too high. For instance, I'm in a remote area of the Ozarks where a year ago raw land could be had for $1500 or less per acres. Until recently this was where you came to find cheap raw land, mostly for hunting. Now we're seeing remote land-locked parcels with no deeded access going for $5000 an acre, with land anywhere close to a county road going for at least $10,000 an acre. This is an area that is down 8 miles of ROUGH dirt road, far from the nearest 2-lane rural highway. The land has no improvements and in almost every case would require vast financial resources to improve. Just recently a 200 acre piece of raw land sold for nearly $1,000,000. A few years ago that same parcel would have maybe gone for $150 - $200k. I personally have experienced out-of-state "developers" who purchased a 40 acre parcel adjacent to me for $1k an acre, then tried to sell back a 10 acre parcel on my northern property border for $100,000! We're talking land that's basically on the side of mountain, heavily wooded and useless to anyone but myself as a "buffer". Lucky for me, my county has new subdivision laws that kept this particular developer from splitting his tract and ruining the lifestyle of existing rural landowners - but in many other areas this is a regular occurrence. Anyway - I'm just voicing my disappointment. Hopefully I'll be able to purchase more property adjacent to mine. For now I'm focused on making improvements to my (log) home, and tending to the 30 acres that I feel very lucky to have.
@@GuitarGunner that is for sure! We are seeing pretty much those exact numbers in our area. I would predict that these prices will level out for about six months and then go up again.
My father-in-law has an inground tank he heats with firewood in a burner and that water is used for his in-floor heating system and for hot water in the faucets.
This would be the number one thing on my list that I would like to add to our Homestead. I designed and built a survival retreat for another family in our area and that was one of the centerpieces of there Homestead. The difference was they had more money when they started out and were able to plan for that added infra structure

As much as I enjoy the idea of being like this guy, I just don't think I have the competence and drive to achieve such heights. Got some great ideas to implement though, and I very much appreciate this being shared.
That’s exactly what I hope for when sharing this, inspiring some ideas for those who’ve are searching for them! Thanks so much and enjoy your adventure!
Nice view from the yard. You have a nice creek. I only have 20 acres in the national forest. In south central Missouri I get to watch the loggers rape the surrounding forest currently. I am building all that right now on a much smaller scale. But there is only me and my sweetheart heading into retirement. I am jealous and impressed. Peace to you and yours.
Hello neighbor! South central Missouri is a great place to be. Those loggers can be hard on a place, especially if the soil is wet. We’ve found that the goats help rejuvenate those logged areas by keeping the undergrowth down 🐐 😊
Hey brother you got an excellent setup. One of the best I've ever seen. I recommend incorporating some kind of PT system. Perhaps a mini gym. Food and shelter is essential but you should also have a sustainable way to keep your body strong and healthy for longevity to enact all that.
Very good point, most people will die of health issues rather than some type of catastrophe so clearly this is critical. I would also add that having a routine of fasting can be beneficial for both health and toughness 😅
12:12 We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon. . After marijuana was legitimized, indoor growers established standardized testing for the lack of petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers. Clean product gets a higher price, organic goes ad astra. . All the 'indoors' eventually switched from sudsy spray to Neems. Unfortunately, in enclosed space and absorbed through the skin, aerosol concentrated Neems can act upon the human brain and nerves. . Anecdotal: One of our 'indoor' neighbors -- at 36yo! -- developed Parkinson's tremors.
Being in the wall business for 30 years and i am only 47 i would only use poured walls at 10 inch thick at minumum. Block walls are the worst but they are a lot cheaper thats why ppl use them.
@@HomesteadRanger I still reckon the construction you built will last 200 years minimum if maintained. I live in an old school building from 1812, built from river rocks and 200 year old oak beams. This building is indistructable, just needs renovations every few decades and good heating. You built sturdy and well thought out, it'll last you, your children and grandchildren for life, no doubt about it. The setup you have with the hot water, electricity and heating is a 10/10.
I am slowly establishing my little homestead and I want to introduce boer goats for meat. Could you suggest books or resources to help me on my journey? And what type of animal do you raise for milk? Ty@@HomesteadRanger
@@user-gk2ut8mc5e I like la mancha goats for milk. The Tennessee meat goat website is a really good reference and I’m starting to build more content on the Homestead Ranger website and channel
I’m buying your book. I’ll buy the next one too if it’s called “how to find the right woman.” You’re both amazing. I’m a homesteader and you’re my new hero. Now I can dream.
Awesome, thanks for buying the book! 😎 That’s a good idea for the next book, but you might also like my homesteading fiction book, SAECULUM: Collapse. It actually does delve into the realm of relationships a bit. 😄
I think that’s a very good point to keep in mind. A lot of people might get discouraged trying to take on a project this big. But scaling it down or doing it in pieces is what makes it really possible and accessible for more people. When we built the original piece, it was so small that the whole family slept in the living room because the bedrooms were a later addition. Sort of like all the big problems, you have to divide them up into small manageable pieces.😊
@HomesteadRanger : We've managed to get most of these things on our 30 acre homestead, on a smaller scale, minus the livestock . Took 20 years, and it was still pretty expensive . I'm really glad I purchased the land before things went nuts .
10:01 We toss chard in the processor with sprouted nuts and seeds. After blending, we roll the muck thinly on parchment, score in 'inch' squares, and dehydrate for a couple-three days. . Part-way through, we drizzle a tiny dash of olive oil or coconut oil. We add a shake or three of smoked sea-salt. We sometimes sprinkle Italian seasoning, cinnamon and vanilla, or Five Spice. . [edited to add] Nutmeg?
I thought your wife was from Italy… we lived there for 7 years, husband was in the 173rd Airborne unit! We miss Italy. Live in Eastern Idaho now, it’s impossibly expensive to buy land here. My sights have been on Missouri lately.
Wow, small world, Vicenza was one of my favorite places to be stationed! Missouri has been a great place for this kind of lifestyle, look me up if you ever need info about moving to the Ozarks😃
@@HomesteadRanger Yes, Vicenza is wonderful. We lived in Dueville. Perfect access for many different cycling 🚴🏻 routes. We definitely will! We want to do what you guys are doing and seeing it isn’t possible here in Idaho right now.
Now why couldn't I have been partnered up with a Joshua Morris some 20-30 years ago darn! I have dreamt this as a child not to the exact 'T' but definitely off-grid, I guess I had always known this type of living would be needed.
One of my inspirations was actually Harrison Ford in the Mosquito Coast; but only before he went crazy. They had to make the off grid guy go crazy in that movie 🙃
@@HomesteadRanger I understand this completely. I'd say, "when I grow up, I'm going to live in my own fort, no one will know where and they'll have a heck of a time trying to come onto my property" and their response would always be, "you're crazy". I'm glad you were inspired, it is truly an awesome homestead thank you for sharing it.
Thanks so much, efficiency really needs to be the goal when building homes. Then, rolling the savings back into something positive, that’s the real trick!
Thanks so much, we modeled it after someplace that we stayed in the Alps. I lived over in that area for four years, off and on between deployments. One of my favorite places in the world!
Liked the video, bought a hard cover book using your link, and just subscribed. It's nice to see someone else in the army when woodland was the in thing. My first squad leader in the 82 nd was SSG Morris.
He should plant pole beans at the base of each corn plants, a few weeks after you planted the corn (give them a head start). Your beans will naturally climb the corn, combining two crops in one.
Oh boy, yes I can’t say enough good things about these! It’s a must have for gardening. Ours are around 3 feet tall. There’s a video of how I built them on the Homestead Ranger channel.
Talking to a lot of other veterans I’ve found that many of them have seen just how bad a country can get. We have a great country and hopefully can keep it that way. There is a lot at stake.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! My goal is often for people to try one or two of these things, maybe the raised beds or maybe a little solar. Every little bit helps!😊
@@HomesteadRanger I'm going in the direction of a windcatcher tower on the center of the north face, drawing from a buried evap ditch, fed by the outlet of my water treatment setup off my septic. Ionization of the air via the process kills any viruses and weighs down the dust in the air supplied to the house, which also passes out of the tower, and into the house, by passing through an indirect evap unit of my own design (using a gyroid pattern) at each main vent to each floor's main hallway. All room heating and cooling is done off this main hall. The center of the front south face has a windowed, trombe solar tower, which is used to heat in the winter when closed, and passes air through direct evap units at each floor, adding humidity (unlike the cooling tower units). Only one set of evap units, on one side of the house, are active at a time. In the summer, it acts as the outlet for the cross breeze created by the windcatcher tower at the other end, causing convection. There are also windows along the whole north face, using trombe wall/floor design to heat the home, along with the solar tower. The rooms heat up a lot, so they are of limited use, admittedly. The rest of the house is buried, using solatubes for light. This eliminates much of our former gas and electric bills for light, heating, and cooling. A hill top rain water cistern eliminates our water bill. My water heater idea is similar to yours...using sand as the heating medium, in a backup brick furnace I designed (which heats the front face of the house, to disperse the heat as it would normally via the trombe system), which has sand as a thermal mass layer/"insulator". Any leftover needs for electric, we will install a small solar setup, probably more than we need. I am planning not to mount them to the roof, to increase thermal efficiency of the panels, reduce wear and tear therefore. This also reduces installation costs. We plan to buy small hybrid turbodiesel indirect injection engines (3-4 cylinders), drop them in donor vehicles in fairly good shape, and produce our own biodiesel via corn ethanol and rapeseed oil (canola), and getting the additional ingredient from tree ash. That eliminates fuel costs, except on long trips. Further hybridization of a vehicle these engines are dropped into can be achieved as well. Our backup genset on the current home we're in is propane, just in case...so that will remain, and be used to create an uninterrupted power supply if power shuts off, whether grid or solar system. None of our lights or devices will cut off at all. We decided to go with a natural pool/pond to avoid most of the maintenance costs, although the upfront is more expensive (although nowhere near having someone else do all the work). I designed a brick oven wood heated hot tub and sauna set up..lol. I have been toying with the idea of a sand battery, as in using part of my oven sand layer to store heat, and perhaps a steam turbine to convert it to electricity, but it's very inefficient, and turbine can be expensive. I might be better off with regular batteries, as you have done. I like your reasoning for why you chose the batteries you did. I am trying to keep it as stone age as possible, to avoid need of replacement things that i cannot make myself. Obviously hinges do me in...lol. Before our design is finalized with our architect and engineer, we will be buying your book, and making sure I didn't miss anything. I have learned a lot about sustainable living over the last few years, and although we do not have the land to be self sustaining with food or wood, we have plenty of land around us, public, private, and corporate, to make just scavenging possible for wood, and hunting and gathering pretty assured. I even lead deer through an area to create a trail for them, and then slowly remove the salt licks, to get them to travel past my ideal hunting spot. I never hunt it. It's just in case...lol. Thanks again.
@@HomesteadRanger Awesome. I am planning to start my planning/vetting process next month. I see your link in the description. I will reach out for more information.
@@nanshe3x 3 reasons; one is the constant pleasant temperatures at 2-5000 feet altitude, 2. year round growing season, and 3. better chance of survival in a large nuclear conflict.
@@Luckyducky.13we used to have poor pastures, so every grazer was an added stress. No we have an over abundance of grass so we could probably get one. I wonder if a mini donkey would go well with the goat

For the same reason, we have modular-height kitchen-counters so kids of all ages can help and hang-out.
@@HomesteadRanger being a veteran myself when I see such ingenuity and passion for your choices it gives me and many others guidance and encouragement. Thanks for sharing your homestead it’s amazing what you and your family have created .
Awesome job guys. What people need to realize is the means to reach these goals. Start with a goal that you can reach, many of those smaller goals combined to equal a larger goal. But the point is to stop making excuses of why you can't. An go for it.
I just cannot get my husband motivated... Even after he saw how helpful my being prepared during the coughpocalypse, he still won't get on-board. After 30 years its like pulling a loaded wagon uphill, in the mud.
He might actually need to set lower goals. Sometimes big goals will paralyze people because it seems useless to only be able to take one step at a time. That’s why you get motivational speakers that tell you that the first goal you should set up in the morning is just to make your bed. Maybe a good first goal is to have a compost. Maybe you want to raise worms, and next thing you know what you might have a small garden. It’s a real mental trick to go after it. I like to listen to David Goggins also; he knows how to light of fire; but he was one of my students so maybe he learned a little something from me
@@HomesteadRanger That's good advice. Just start slowly implementing it into your daily life. Start making food from scratch. Start growing tomatoes on the patio. Composting. Making recipes for dinner that mimics food storage. Make it normal and natural.
I wish people like this would sell there services and not just mass market it through video or books, but literally come out and set my lazy azz up with what I need. I would so pay a premium for it!
Joshua Morris, congratulations on the homestead. I appreciate the knowledge you shared about the livestock and the land. You and family created an awesome homestead. I watched the vid on Stefano Creatini channel YT. I attempted to post this comment on Veteran Farmer Coalition website. I was unsuccessful bc i do not use facebook. *Stefano please share this comment with Joshua. Thank You.
Bro, protect your cooling pipe.. As a militia type person that your weakness i pump in any kind bad gass and your safe house is a concrete cofin, Hope you havve a solution for that
Putting in permanent deer rubs near the trails the deer use to come into the food forest might save your trees some trouble. Might make hunting season easier, depending on your local rules.
Finding the cheapest 10-20 acres available for purchase in the U.S. can vary depending on the state and specific location. Here are some general insights: Wyoming: Known for having some of the cheapest land, with prices around $3,435 per acre. New Mexico: Offers affordable land, often under $1,000 per acre in rural areas. Arizona: Similar to New Mexico, with large tracts of land available at low prices. Websites like Land Century and Zillow often list cheap land deals. You might find listings for 10-20 acres in these states at very competitive prices.
Very nice and secure construction as well as attractive. Imagine if you will that you live in a place a country where you do not worry about needing a bug out bag, or a bunker, or prepping. As a veteran we found that place here in Chile 11 years ago. We are on the other side of the planet. We built our homestead for 1/10th the cost of yours and are more clean, less people around us. totally off grid, and NO PROPERTY TAXES. We use the same hot water set up you use as it is very common in Chile. We do not use grid tie ANYTHING as it allows government in your pocket and on your land. It is just freer. Lots of us veterans here in Chile living in the Frontier. Jim in Chile
@@HomesteadRanger Yes I can. Let me say that I wanted to remain respectful to you on your Channel because I admire what you have done and the attention to detail you have taken. I grew up in South Carolina on a cattle farm (250 head), Spent 4 years navigating Nuc Subs. Flew commercially up there as a freight pilot. Every time i got ahead the gov was there to smack me down. I just felt like a hamster in a tax wheel. We had a family tragedy that was such a loss, it shook our lives to the core. My wife and I decided that there was more to life than what we had experienced. We moved to Chile 11 years ago. We did not have the resources you have, but have been able to make an excellent peaceful, stress free life here in Chile on our little homestead. As a part of this I also have a YT channel. This became over time a funnel for people to ask questions about Chile and Patagonia. I grew and grew and keeps growing even today, to the point that i now provide Relocation Services to people interested in Chile. I use a very open approach to this by having a private Chat Group named ChileExpatFamily in TELEGRAM. In my group I have a team to help our members move here to Chile. 2 Attorneys 1 Doctor (functional Medicine) 1 Dentist 1 auto Mechanic 3 Real estate agents (I am one of them) 2 builders. All of my team speak English and the all consult with you on an individual basis. We currently have 109 members from all over the world. All races and creeds and none as well. Just people of good will. We live very free. Why? Chile is 1st world but it has a very small government. So little to no interference. If you would like to talk to me you can get me in TELEGRAM. @jimDorchak Thanks and I wish you could move your farm here to Chile. Jim

That's great info but please, use punctuation and break up that long ass run on sentence. That was so difficult to read. Had to read it 3 times for it to make sense.
I'm glad I've seen this tonight and thank you for sharing your inspiration with all of us. Most important thank you for your service. You have an amazing family. God bless!.
Thanks so much! Such a great homesteading community out there and I appreciate you all!!

Once we made the 6 week video, I couldn’t believe it myself😊. Rainiest summer that we’ve had in many years, it has been wonderful 😁
For some reason, this video hit me different. You are ALWAYS excellent, but this was just an awesome video. Can’t explain it. I LOVE your content.
Thank you, I appreciate it!!
Stefano has an eye for this kind of content, I’m always excited to see more from this channel 😁
Thank you!
Bing Cherries are a cross breed created by the Meek family of San Lorenzo, California; the original Home/Mansion still stands to this day.
I had no idea, they are so tasty right off the tree!
What a safe place to live..I wanna live there..wonderful video..
Absolutely, safety is priceless! Unfortunately there are so many dangerous places in the world these days 🌍
I can't even afford the vehicle he's driving around the property. Living the dream dude.
This definitely is living the dream 😊.
Lovely family, wife seems solid and your building style is like my style. Love the quality of the video and I believe God favors you 🙏
Thanks so much! I hope you’re right about God, that’s the goal 🙏🏻
As much as I enjoy the idea of being like this guy, I just don't think I have the competence and drive to achieve such heights. Got some great ideas to implement though, and I very much appreciate this being shared.
That’s exactly what I hope for when sharing this, inspiring some ideas for those who’ve are searching for them! Thanks so much and enjoy your adventure!
Nice view from the yard. You have a nice creek. I only have 20 acres in the national forest. In south central Missouri I get to watch the loggers rape the surrounding forest currently. I am building all that right now on a much smaller scale. But there is only me and my sweetheart heading into retirement. I am jealous and impressed.
Peace to you and yours.
Hello neighbor! South central Missouri is a great place to be. Those loggers can be hard on a place, especially if the soil is wet. We’ve found that the goats help rejuvenate those logged areas by keeping the undergrowth down 🐐 😊
Hey brother you got an excellent setup. One of the best I've ever seen. I recommend incorporating some kind of PT system. Perhaps a mini gym. Food and shelter is essential but you should also have a sustainable way to keep your body strong and healthy for longevity to enact all that.
Very good point, most people will die of health issues rather than some type of catastrophe so clearly this is critical. I would also add that having a routine of fasting can be beneficial for both health and toughness 😅
I wish I was younger and married to such a remarkable knowledgeable man.
That’s such a nice thing to say!
When you were younger you were interested in some jive turkey who could dance and belittle others you weren't interested in a guy like this
This is the first time I've ever seen a compliment like this towards a man.
Was thinking the same thing.
i have never wanted something so much in my life.
Bingo, that’s exactly it, I want what other men want, I just want it more.
Me too

We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.
.
After marijuana was legitimized, indoor growers established standardized testing for the lack of petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers.
Clean product gets a higher price, organic goes ad astra.
.
All the 'indoors' eventually switched from sudsy spray to Neems.
Unfortunately, in enclosed space and absorbed through the skin, aerosol concentrated Neems can act upon the human brain and nerves.
.
Anecdotal:
One of our 'indoor' neighbors -- at 36yo! -- developed Parkinson's tremors.
Wow, thanks for sharing that. I’m going to have to look into neems a little more closely. Very good information to share.
Being in the wall business for 30 years and i am only 47 i would only use poured walls at 10 inch thick at minumum. Block walls are the worst but they are a lot cheaper thats why ppl use them.
I agree, years later and with more experience, I say the same thing. Just use poured walls
@@HomesteadRanger I still reckon the construction you built will last 200 years minimum if maintained. I live in an old school building from 1812, built from river rocks and 200 year old oak beams. This building is indistructable, just needs renovations every few decades and good heating. You built sturdy and well thought out, it'll last you, your children and grandchildren for life, no doubt about it. The setup you have with the hot water, electricity and heating is a 10/10.
Thank you ao much for sharing the Homestead Rangers off grid home. It was fantastic!
Stefano has a real gift for making these videos!
I am slowly establishing my little homestead and I want to introduce boer goats for meat. Could you suggest books or resources to help me on my journey? And what type of animal do you raise for milk? Ty@@HomesteadRanger
@@user-gk2ut8mc5e I like la mancha goats for milk. The Tennessee meat goat website is a really good reference and I’m starting to build more content on the Homestead Ranger website and channel
My pleasure! Im glad you enjoyed it
I’m buying your book. I’ll buy the next one too if it’s called “how to find the right woman.” You’re both amazing. I’m a homesteader and you’re my new hero. Now I can dream.
Awesome, thanks for buying the book! 😎 That’s a good idea for the next book, but you might also like my homesteading fiction book, SAECULUM: Collapse. It actually does delve into the realm of relationships a bit. 😄
Even doing lots of the work yourself this is a multi million dollar homstead .
Much of this can be accomplished on a smaller scale .
I think that’s a very good point to keep in mind. A lot of people might get discouraged trying to take on a project this big. But scaling it down or doing it in pieces is what makes it really possible and accessible for more people. When we built the original piece, it was so small that the whole family slept in the living room because the bedrooms were a later addition. Sort of like all the big problems, you have to divide them up into small manageable pieces.😊
@HomesteadRanger : We've managed to get most of these things on our 30 acre homestead, on a smaller scale, minus the livestock .
Took 20 years, and it was still pretty expensive . I'm really glad I purchased the land before things went nuts .
You're a blessed man for sure.
Very cool homestead.
Thanks! We’ve been talking about what type of video to do next 🤔

We toss chard in the processor with sprouted nuts and seeds.
After blending, we roll the muck thinly on parchment, score in 'inch' squares, and dehydrate for a couple-three days.
.
Part-way through, we drizzle a tiny dash of olive oil or coconut oil.
We add a shake or three of smoked sea-salt.
We sometimes sprinkle Italian seasoning, cinnamon and vanilla, or Five Spice.

Nutmeg?
Oh yes, that’s good stuff!!
Sounds really tasty, I might have to try it. Thanks for sharing!!😊
I thought your wife was from Italy… we lived there for 7 years, husband was in the 173rd Airborne unit! We miss Italy. Live in Eastern Idaho now, it’s impossibly expensive to buy land here. My sights have been on Missouri lately.
Wow, small world, Vicenza was one of my favorite places to be stationed! Missouri has been a great place for this kind of lifestyle, look me up if you ever need info about moving to the Ozarks😃
@@HomesteadRanger Yes, Vicenza is wonderful. We lived in Dueville. Perfect access for many different cycling 🚴🏻 routes. We definitely will! We want to do what you guys are doing and seeing it isn’t possible here in Idaho right now.
@@lasinajensen4577Idaho must be nice in the summer😊
@@ChiaraMorris-u4v Usually, It is very nice in the summer, except this year has been very hot and dry.
@@lasinajensen4577 we had an unusual summer too this year, much more rain and cool weather 😀
Now why couldn't I have been partnered up with a Joshua Morris some 20-30 years ago darn! I have dreamt this as a child not to the exact 'T' but definitely off-grid, I guess I had always known this type of living would be needed.
One of my inspirations was actually Harrison Ford in the Mosquito Coast; but only before he went crazy. They had to make the off grid guy go crazy in that movie 🙃
@@HomesteadRanger I understand this completely. I'd say, "when I grow up, I'm going to live in my own fort, no one will know where and they'll have a heck of a time trying to come onto my property" and their response would always be, "you're crazy". I'm glad you were inspired, it is truly an awesome homestead thank you for sharing it.
@@noneya4820thanks so much, my pleasure 😊
Beautiful and very efficient place! Excellent. 👍
Thanks so much, efficiency really needs to be the goal when building homes. Then, rolling the savings back into something positive, that’s the real trick!
The house is for sure cool, but the garden and livestock operations are amazing. They make it look easy.
Thank you so much for recognizing that! Everyone wants to focus on the home but personally, I am much more proud of our food production😊😊
Salute excellence respect the sacrifice stay safe
Thanks so much, very important to keep up morale 😊
Amazing journey, I love being able to watch it. Thanks for including the world
Happy to help, there’s a great group of wonderful people with these interests; very inspiring!!
The interior of the chalet looks beautiful.
Thanks so much, we modeled it after someplace that we stayed in the Alps. I lived over in that area for four years, off and on between deployments. One of my favorite places in the world!
Liked the video, bought a hard cover book using your link, and just subscribed. It's nice to see someone else in the army when woodland was the in thing. My first squad leader in the 82 nd was SSG Morris.

He should plant pole beans at the base of each corn plants, a few weeks after you planted the corn (give them a head start). Your beans will naturally climb the corn, combining two crops in one.
This is an awesome suggestion, squash is a good third sister to put in with the corn and beans also 😊
God, I would love a place like that. I've watched videos about earthship homes, dobb homes, etc. I'm in NW Missouri. Love it
Missouri is a wonderful state, so glad you enjoyed the video 😊! Keep an eye on this and also the homestead Ranger channel 😉
Love the super tall raised beds....I am tall with a bad back
Oh boy, yes I can’t say enough good things about these! It’s a must have for gardening. Ours are around 3 feet tall. There’s a video of how I built them on the Homestead Ranger channel.
@@HomesteadRanger Your look taller than 3 feet...I have a 3x12 ft one....My dog jumps in and eats all my broccoli

Looks like a PERFECT PARADISE!
It’s hard to imagine anything better 😁, except maybe without the ticks
Someone with his experience and knowledge knows what may be coming.
Talking to a lot of other veterans I’ve found that many of them have seen just how bad a country can get. We have a great country and hopefully can keep it that way. There is a lot at stake.

You should grow beans and pumpkin right next to your corn . That's how the Mayan grow their food because eatch helps the other grow bigger and better
I love that! Closer to us the Iroquois and others did the same with corn, beans, and squash. They called them the 3 sisters😊
Cucumbers work well with corn too and help keep down the weeds
@@ChiaraMorris-u4v oh yes 👏🏻
Really great video. Nice to know someone else is putting so much thought into these things, as I dip my toes in as well.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! My goal is often for people to try one or two of these things, maybe the raised beds or maybe a little solar. Every little bit helps!😊
@@HomesteadRanger I'm going in the direction of a windcatcher tower on the center of the north face, drawing from a buried evap ditch, fed by the outlet of my water treatment setup off my septic. Ionization of the air via the process kills any viruses and weighs down the dust in the air supplied to the house, which also passes out of the tower, and into the house, by passing through an indirect evap unit of my own design (using a gyroid pattern) at each main vent to each floor's main hallway. All room heating and cooling is done off this main hall.
The center of the front south face has a windowed, trombe solar tower, which is used to heat in the winter when closed, and passes air through direct evap units at each floor, adding humidity (unlike the cooling tower units). Only one set of evap units, on one side of the house, are active at a time. In the summer, it acts as the outlet for the cross breeze created by the windcatcher tower at the other end, causing convection.
There are also windows along the whole north face, using trombe wall/floor design to heat the home, along with the solar tower. The rooms heat up a lot, so they are of limited use, admittedly.
The rest of the house is buried, using solatubes for light.
This eliminates much of our former gas and electric bills for light, heating, and cooling. A hill top rain water cistern eliminates our water bill. My water heater idea is similar to yours...using sand as the heating medium, in a backup brick furnace I designed (which heats the front face of the house, to disperse the heat as it would normally via the trombe system), which has sand as a thermal mass layer/"insulator". Any leftover needs for electric, we will install a small solar setup, probably more than we need. I am planning not to mount them to the roof, to increase thermal efficiency of the panels, reduce wear and tear therefore. This also reduces installation costs.
We plan to buy small hybrid turbodiesel indirect injection engines (3-4 cylinders), drop them in donor vehicles in fairly good shape, and produce our own biodiesel via corn ethanol and rapeseed oil (canola), and getting the additional ingredient from tree ash. That eliminates fuel costs, except on long trips. Further hybridization of a vehicle these engines are dropped into can be achieved as well.
Our backup genset on the current home we're in is propane, just in case...so that will remain, and be used to create an uninterrupted power supply if power shuts off, whether grid or solar system. None of our lights or devices will cut off at all.
We decided to go with a natural pool/pond to avoid most of the maintenance costs, although the upfront is more expensive (although nowhere near having someone else do all the work). I designed a brick oven wood heated hot tub and sauna set up..lol.
I have been toying with the idea of a sand battery, as in using part of my oven sand layer to store heat, and perhaps a steam turbine to convert it to electricity, but it's very inefficient, and turbine can be expensive. I might be better off with regular batteries, as you have done. I like your reasoning for why you chose the batteries you did. I am trying to keep it as stone age as possible, to avoid need of replacement things that i cannot make myself. Obviously hinges do me in...lol.
Before our design is finalized with our architect and engineer, we will be buying your book, and making sure I didn't miss anything. I have learned a lot about sustainable living over the last few years, and although we do not have the land to be self sustaining with food or wood, we have plenty of land around us, public, private, and corporate, to make just scavenging possible for wood, and hunting and gathering pretty assured. I even lead deer through an area to create a trail for them, and then slowly remove the salt licks, to get them to travel past my ideal hunting spot. I never hunt it. It's just in case...lol.
Thanks again.
Guys my hero!
Thanks Mr. Brock, don’t forget to subscribe to this and the homestead Ranger channel 😎
Consider using donkeys for guard animals, mix them in your goat, cattle herds. Very good guard animals. Great video.

Kale chips are DELICIOUS! We make them at our home. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top of them and it’s magic!

Donkeys are great protectors!
Ooh that’s something I would like to try! We have an Anatolian livestock guardian dog who is a great help but he eats a lot of meat 🙃
@@HomesteadRanger lots of people who have goats & sheep here in Texas have a donkey. They are surprisingly very good protectors.
@@Luckyducky.13we used to have poor pastures, so every grazer was an added stress. No we have an over abundance of grass so we could probably get one. I wonder if a mini donkey would go well with the goat

I just cannot get my husband motivated... Even after he saw how helpful my being prepared during the coughpocalypse, he still won't get on-board. After 30 years its like pulling a loaded wagon uphill, in the mud.
He might actually need to set lower goals. Sometimes big goals will paralyze people because it seems useless to only be able to take one step at a time. That’s why you get motivational speakers that tell you that the first goal you should set up in the morning is just to make your bed. Maybe a good first goal is to have a compost. Maybe you want to raise worms, and next thing you know what you might have a small garden. It’s a real mental trick to go after it. I like to listen to David Goggins also; he knows how to light of fire; but he was one of my students so maybe he learned a little something from me
@@HomesteadRanger That's good advice. Just start slowly implementing it into your daily life. Start making food from scratch. Start growing tomatoes on the patio. Composting. Making recipes for dinner that mimics food storage. Make it normal and natural.
You know it's coming
Hopefully not but yeah, you know

Finding the cheapest 10-20 acres available for purchase in the U.S. can vary depending on the state and specific location. Here are some general insights:
Wyoming: Known for having some of the cheapest land, with prices around $3,435 per acre.
New Mexico: Offers affordable land, often under $1,000 per acre in rural areas.
Arizona: Similar to New Mexico, with large tracts of land available at low prices.
Websites like Land Century and Zillow often list cheap land deals. You might find listings for 10-20 acres in these states at very competitive prices.
This is great information that a lot of people are looking for right now. Thank you 😊

As a veteran we found that place here in Chile 11 years ago. We are on the other side of the planet. We built our homestead for 1/10th the cost of yours and are more clean, less people around us. totally off grid, and NO PROPERTY TAXES.
We use the same hot water set up you use as it is very common in Chile.
We do not use grid tie ANYTHING as it allows government in your pocket and on your land.
It is just freer.

This is a real area of interest for me. Can you point me in the right direction to find more information about expats in a good place in Chile?
I would be interested to know more as well
@@HomesteadRanger Yes I can. Let me say that I wanted to remain respectful to you on your Channel because I admire what you have done and the attention to detail you have taken.
I grew up in South Carolina on a cattle farm (250 head), Spent 4 years navigating Nuc Subs. Flew commercially up there as a freight pilot. Every time i got ahead the gov was there to smack me down. I just felt like a hamster in a tax wheel.
We had a family tragedy that was such a loss, it shook our lives to the core. My wife and I decided that there was more to life than what we had experienced. We moved to Chile 11 years ago. We did not have the resources you have, but have been able to make an excellent peaceful, stress free life here in Chile on our little homestead.
As a part of this I also have a YT channel. This became over time a funnel for people to ask questions about Chile and Patagonia.
I grew and grew and keeps growing even today, to the point that i now provide Relocation Services to people interested in Chile.
I use a very open approach to this by having a private Chat Group named ChileExpatFamily in TELEGRAM.
In my group I have a team to help our members move here to Chile.
2 Attorneys
1 Doctor (functional Medicine)
1 Dentist
1 auto Mechanic
3 Real estate agents (I am one of them)
2 builders.
All of my team speak English and the all consult with you on an individual basis.
We currently have 109 members from all over the world. All races and creeds and none as well. Just people of good will.
We live very free. Why? Chile is 1st world but it has a very small government. So little to no interference.
