Starting first beet job tmrw at 7 am, red river valley, cavalier north dakota. I'm fortunate enough to have a best friend out here and staying at his house.
Thank you Guys, very clear explanation of working in the Sugar Beet Harvest, this similar in American Falls Idaho.
Our pleasure! Glad it was helpful.
You guys are awesome!! I have never seen a couple that gets along as well as you two!! Thanks for all the great coverage 💗
Thank you! We are honored to share with you. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
My gfs dad goes to Minnesota for suger beet harvest. Currently doing sugermill season in south texas. Was intrested trying this for Sept and Oct season
Nothing like the dyed hands of a beet farmer!!!!
y’all’s best van modification is y’all…
y’all’s sweet attitudes and teamwork
are inspiring, enviable and, yes, unbeetable…
thanks for sharin’ your advantures….
🚐💨
You are awesome, Dusty! Thank you for the kind words. It sounds like you just may be a poet. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Thank you. So interesting. Absolutely NEVER thinking about doing this.
Thank you, Susan! Great honestly! 😂😂
This year I drove a truck that had the 45 ft trailer on it. As I was pulling through the unloading ramp, I was watching my trailer tires to make sure I stayed straight in the ramp, in the corner of my eye, I saw a hard hat passing in front of my truck and I slammed on my brakes. The other dock workers chewed that girl out about walking so close to the front of a moving truck. It sure scared all of us. Everyone always preaches safety but all it takes is one tired person to unthinkingly get hurt bad. Dean
+Godwin Pacetti YES!!! There are so many areas where things can go wrong! Especially when you get tired! Thankfully our crew both years was very safety conscious. Although a supervisors do I (Carrie) had some words when he told me to do something unsafe. I instance can change someone life drastically!
Sorry that happened and glad you were paying attention.
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
I did 14 years of 12's, 4 on 4 off, am's then pm's then back to am's. I don't think I'll ever have a normal body clock again. Hope you do Minnesota some year, would love to come and bring you a big ol' pan of homemade lasagna! Glad to know you survived!
That sounds like the same shift and hours I worked before vanlife! I felt like it was slowly killing me. I did that for 13 years. You may have just talked us into Minnesota 😂 Thank you for the kind offer. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Very interesting and informative.
Working in the mud makes a difficult job so much worse 😫.
It's good to hear you have some coins in your pockets and can continue your enviable journey through North America 🌎.
I hope by now you are rested and making memories and miles.
Always a thumbs up 👍
It took a week but I think we are finally recovered and back at home on our public lands! 😎
Funny story about beets: Years ago I was driving through an, unbeknownst to me, area where sugar beets are grown. I kept seeing these large trucks hauling long open boxes of *river rocks*. Now what in tarnation are they doing with all those river rocks? Dredging a river channel perhaps (I was near the Snake River after all), or how about using them as a roadbed? So yes, I thought sugar beets were river rocks. New van owner subscriber here, and I’m very much enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful locations.
We agree that you guys produced an awesome video explaining the good, bad, and ugly of the beet harvest. Thanks
We’re retiring in 5 and with my county backed pension and deferred comp my wife said we ain’t working. Can’t argue with that 😂. But that’s really good money for a few weeks of work for sure. I’d never say never but I’d work it if it came down to it.
Sounds like you guys have earned a great retirement, we hope you will enjoy! We don't blame you for not working...we wouldn't either if we didn't need to. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime got to do 25 years to collect and only 5 to go. I’ve been at it for almost 30. I’ve had enough but have to finish the journey because I’ve come to far to quit now. I’ll be retired at 54.
I did a construction project this last summer. Not as hard as what you guys worked.
I am still cleaning dust out of the van crevices.
Great video.
I know exactly what that's like as our back doors don't seal tight and we never stop chasing the dust around. 😂
Wow...great reward for ur work but getting into that machine looks dangerous!
My Stepfather was involved in the Beet Harvest in Minnesota, he had a dedicated Beet Truck.
Very cool! 😎
Wow! Thanks for sharing the details. Get some rest, now! 👍😎🇨🇦💜🐾
Thank you! It has taken about a week to feel recovered. 😂
Phew... glad that's behind you!
So are we! It feels so good to be back home in the National Forest! We have a renewed appreciation for our regular job of making videos! 😂
You two are awesome to work together.
Thank you, Mae! 😀
Thank you, great explanation of process. Glad it’s over for you. On to Advanture
Thank you! We are back at home now free camping on public lands and it feels awesome! It's good to be back. 😎
Sleeping in the van in freezing temperatures and finding it do-able gives me a new appreciation for your extroverted toughness. I’m glad to be a Patreon. You guys deserve it, from one nomad ( with pension) to another.
We forgot to mention our secret to surviving the cold weather at the RV Park! We bought a 10 dollar electric heater and used the free electricity to heat our van at night. 😂 We our honored of course to have you as a patron and a bit jealous of that pension thingy. 😂😂😂
@@oneadVANtureatatime yeah 17 years of supervisor drama paid off. Luckily we still have the health and the urge to resume wandering in our 60s!
Thanks for sharing your hardworking experience. ❤️
It made me more thankful for my remote desk job. 🤣
I know right! We have a new appreciation for our TH-cam work as well now. 😂
Nice haul this year! I'm glad to see you made it through okay. Safe travels!
Thank you, freedom dove! Did we talk you into trying out the sugar beet harvest yet? 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime Absolutely not--if I can help it. LOL!!! I'm way too much of a wimp for that job. I don't like to be cold at all, so the thought of being up there at that time of the year is just pure torture to me. My younger brother could live in Alaska all year round. I didn't inherit that gene. Nor did I inherit the truck-driving gene that he got from Mom and his dad. Lol. 😋
You are good people. Thanks for helping folks.
Thank you, Philip! Our privilege. 👱♂️👩🐕👱♂️
Thank you for the review of the beet harvest job. I thought about doing it, but at 62 I think it would be too much for me. 10 years ago I would have gone for it! Thank you again for a very informative video!
70 I'm considering it ----
I was a Pipeliner almost 20 years
so glad to see you both! glad the beet harvest was a success 😊
Thank you! It feels so good to be back out here exploring again. 😎 It has taken about a week to recover from the long hours but well worth it.
So happy to see a video from you two (and Roodle). Y’all worked so hard and gave great tips for anyone else wanting to do this. You deserve EVERY penny earned!!! I wish for you some very restful, relaxing days and nights with yummy meals, some movie time and ball catching time for Roodle! 😊👍🏻🐕🎾😴🍲🛌💵🚐🤗
Thank you, Andrea!! We are so happy to be back on public lands exploring! I think we only took one day off before we started filming, we are so excited to be back doing what we love. We got a real treat our first couple nights! We can't wait to share. Thank you for all the kind wishes! 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
@@oneadVANtureatatime I saw Instagram! 👏🏻😊
Amen about the mud!!!
The mud was the hardest part.
I am still finding mud in our van 😂😂😂
Glad to see you have another harvest in the books and money in the bank. I don't think Mike and I will be signing up. We could come and cook your meals for you and keep Roodle company:) However, I doubt they would let us camp for free. It was a nice thought:))
That's an awesome thought! If we go back next year we are making it up that way early just to stop by and visit you two..if we can work the timing out with you guys. 😀😀😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime That would be great if it works out. We would love to have you:)
I enjoyed the video and am glad to have y'all back. I am happy that the harvest worked out for u
Thank you, Dennis! It feels like home now that we are back in the National Forest again. We got a special treat the other night and can't wait to share! 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Very interesting. Looks and sounds like very physical work.
I think it looks like more work than it really is. Our friends made it through at 76 years old. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime WOW!
Thank you for sharing! Really great info we were wondering about! We started our vanlife adventure a month and a half ago and are loving every minute of it! We may see you there next year!
That sounds awesome! If you see our van somewhere please stop and say hello. We are excited for you to be out in your van and enjoying a new lifestyle! 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Just subscribed. Very impressive impressive work ethic and dear lady you got some grit to be working with small shoes for a week. Love the puppy dog. Not a nomad found your video very informational.
Thank you for subscribing, Patricia! Our main content is showing off the areas we find and free camping. We hope you will enjoy. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
I am seriously thinking about it for 2023. I need to get eye surgery this fall, so it will have to be next year. I wondered about your dog and how you managed that. I have three Labrador Retrievers that fulltime RV with me. I am concerned about that might work, or if I need to board them at a kennel while I work. As a solo, I will need my rest and sleep, walking three labs is very physical too. Love your videos!!
That’s crazy hard work. I’m glad you did it.
Thank you, Maggie! 😀 It feels great to be back on the road. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
This actually sounds like a fun job! It’s only for a short time and decent money.
Exactly! It's hard to turn this opportunity down for us. 😀
This was one of the most informative videos about the beet harvest I've ever watched so thank you so much for all of it! I have one question for you. I, too, travel with a dog who spends all of his time with me, was it hard on Roodle to be alone for so many days with such long hours? Again, thank you!
He finally had time to catch up on his sleep but was ready for it to be over as much as we did. We did try to spoil him on our breaks and lunches. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime thanks Carrie!
You two are amazing. I was concerned about Roodle, my mini dachshund would never survive that! Hey, Dave, on those hot days did you work in your kilt? 🤔
Hi Thelma. I can tell you some crazy stories about my kilt-wearing time already. Long story short is I ended up giving it away. We need to make a video and explain all what happened 😂😂😂 Ok, I will tell you one of the stories now.
I was sitting down in a grassy area and a complete stranger came up and tried to lift up my kilt and check what was underneath. I had to physically push him away and yell “ you don't touch another man's kilt!” a few other things happened as well. It was a crazy few months 😂
@@oneadVANtureatatime Funny how some people are so forward! I saw a guy in Colorado wearing one and I wanted to tell him how good he looked in it but wasn't sure how he would take a compliment. 😊
Thank you for sharing your journey 💞
You two are amazing, I wish you continued success.
Thank you very much! Best wishes to you as well. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾❄️
Hey, your video was a big help!
Are most of the people there rv life community or more retirees? I've wondered if the Amazon 3month camper hire-a-thon has taken away from the beet workforce? Anyone doing both?
I would say it's about half retired RV people and half nomads like us. We did talk to some people there that have done the Amazon thing as well but I wasn't clear if they had time to start the holiday season after working all of October. I am guessing it's one or the other because of the time frame. We were short-handed this year so you may be right on.
Awesome video, i appreciate the information and it helps my wife and I to decide whether or not to try the beet harvest next year. One question...how many sets of clothes each do you have for this job? And working 14 days in a row for 12 hours a day how do you wash your clothes or do you just pretty much shake them out and hang them up for the next day? Thanks again and I look forward to your up coming videos.
You nailed it, Dustin! We just shake them off and keep wearing the same clothes. Most of the clothes I wore was not suitable to even wash by the end of the harvest. We have so little room to store clothing in our van. Currently I have 2 pairs of pants, 4 shirts, 1 pair of shorts, and some socks/underwear. 😂
I am currently at the MI location. We are weather delayed until Thursday. This is my first season and I am hoping things work out for the best.
+Joseph Hirsch we are on our way to the Michigan harvest. We are hoping to be there on Thursday. We are assigned to Caro Michigan. We will definitely be BEET after this!!!
@@oneadVANtureatatime I am staying at the hotel in Caro and working at the Sebewaing site, maybe, we will see each other. Thanks for the funny pun.
Hi. I'm a retired millwright, 78 years young. Do they need millwrights? I specialized in conveyors of all types. Thanks for your excellent pod cast. AL
I believe they use the millwrights from the factory. I am guessing they would not pay what you are worth. 😀
Have fun and take it easy and enjoy it
Thank you, David!
Thank you for the detailed information 🙏🏼.
Our pleasure. 😀
A lot of hard work but a great way to earn extra cash. HAPPY TRAILS.
This job really gives us a better appreciation for our TH-cam job! It feels so good to be back in the National Forest! We miss you guys!! Best wishes from us. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Very interesting! Thank you!
Hello I came across your video and my husband and I are thinking about going up this year and I was just wondering on that price range that you said was that $6,400 a piece or that was $6,400 between the both of you the year prior?
Thank you! Great content! Very much appreciated.
Hey guys, thanks for the great info. Do you know what the cdl drivers were making?
So great running into you guys in Co this summer! I’ll send you the pic we took together. It’s my favorite from my travels this year.
I was a driver working for one of the farms in North Dakota for the Sugar Beet Harvest and we worked the 12 hour shifts also. When driving for a farm, you don’t need a Cdl, you just need to know how to drive a truck. The pay will depend on the farm that you work for. The farm that I work for provides housing for their temporary workers so the pay is probably slightly less than elsewhere but it was still 22 dollars an hour this year. And as I worked the compete harvest season, which was wheat, beans, potatoes, and sugar beets, I ended the season with almost $13,000 in my bank. Now there are farms that pay more but you have to set up your on living accommodations and pay out of pocket for therm. But I work for the same farm every year as I like the farmer and his family and all his full time workers. And this year I got to drive a half million dollar tractor pulling a chisel plow for a couple weeks, which was a new experience. Dean
Thank you, Dean! We appreciate the information and have been wondering how this works for the drivers!
We would love to see the pictures! We hope you are doing well and look forward to seeing you again sometime.👱♂️👩🐕🎾
I live near Sidney, and worked for a local farmer driving truck. It is long days with get it done as fast as you can attitude.
In my opinion that your under paid. The farmer and company are wealthy people and expect you to work as if you got millions to earn. Sidney Montana is the most expensive town in Montana, the groceries are about twice as any where.
We noticed the food prices were sky high! We try to bring as much as we can with us. We will probably be back next year. 😀
Hello there….
Your pay after taxes you took home, was that the total for both of ? Or you each made that?
I am scheduled to for the North Dakota beet harvest fall and my first harvest… and the potato harvest sounds
Interesting
Luved Dave's best rendition of Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs at 4:35 of the video! :)
I felt like Mike Rowe’s! 😂😂😂
Loved this video. (also watched your other sugar beet video). both very informative. I would like to work the Sydney harvest next year. is there a good verizon cell connection at the rv park?
We had 2 bars of Verizon right at the RV park. Ask for full hookups even if you don't need them for a better site at the park. Try to get day shift if you can, it usually makes more money and is better work. We just may see you there. 😎
All that work and they only get about a tablespoon of sugar out of each beet! If you ever have a chance to get one, they are delicious!! Bake them with a little butter! We grew them in Southern Idaho.
Right on Candie! We kept one beet to cook but we were so tired we never got to it. We donated it to a friendly rabbit. 😂 We will save one next year perhaps on the last day of the harvest..we will have to bake it on a campfire though😎
Hi, great to see you both. It's good to push yourself sometimes and get out of your comfort zone, it helps me grow as a person as I discover myself more. Did Roodle stay in the van while you worked? Or did he stay outside too? Happy the harvest is behind you. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜
We agree, Seema! This kind of work also makes us more thankful for doing the job we love and not taking it for granted. Roodle did stay in the van most of the day. We took him on walks on every break and lunch and tried to spoil him whenever possible. He was ready to leave as much as we were.
Very interesting and informative! Great video! 🤙 High five to Roodle! 😁
Thank you guys! It feels so good to be back camping on public lands! We are already having a great time and look forward to sharing with you. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Also a question: how about creating a mud room outside to strip in before entering the rv? Just brain storming some ideas. I’m going to get back in the weight room as well. That way they “every day” of the harvest won’t take a toll on the bod.
I love the mud room idea! We are getting close to start day now. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Awesome! I would think a screened in tent outside the rv door would work. Alter it so there’s a second door to access the rv door?
Hopefully see you all there next year.😉
You did not explain, how did you travel from the campground to the harvest site?
Shuttle?
I would consider leaving my pet with nearby regional great friend/relative for the harvest. That's for me, not everyone, avoid the muddy paws, exercise the pal after 12 hours on my feet.
Are you allowed to put up temporary awnings/pop up with chair/table. Allowing disrobing/ leaving muddy stuff outside of camper?
I can/would apply for the truck driver positions.
That mud!!! They should consider some type of portable military style steel landing mat/roadway. They do this every year. Not able to have main gravel/paved roadways? I'm not there, just questions.
Are you two considering working temporary for November/December Amazon or similar?
California SF bay area $18/hour, you two team delivery? Just gotta find a nearby campsite!!!???
Great information. Great work, and life, experience, and fast $$. Especially when young and able.
Opportunity to meet life friends.
Have you explored other temporary harvest opportunities?
Hi Clark. Yes, we did drive from the RV park to the factory yard every day. This was only about a one-mile drive with nearly no traffic. I don't see why you couldn't put up a temp awning because we did see people put up tents. Keeping muddy clothes and boots outside is no problem.
We have considered Amazon but the time frame is too long for us and would affect our TH-cam content more than we are willing to. We have done other short-term jobs such as construction work and Van build stuff. We love the idea of trying other harvest jobs and would be open to try something new.
I wanted to add that we don't have much information on the driving jobs other than the farmers were short-handed this year. We don't know who pays them or where they stay at night. These are great questions for us to find out next year right from the drivers themselves.
I hope we were able to answer some of your questions.
I've worked 7 on and 7 off 12's, I know how tired you get after 7, can't imagine 15 straight. UGH! But mine was inside climate controlled work (printing) and being over 50 didn't help either. My legs and feet are used up which is why I can't walk long distances. A month isn't bad. Now, when done, you can have money the rest of the year!
We agree! A month is not bad and the light at the end of the tunnel is never too far away! Plus we gained more appreciation for our TH-cam job. 😀
Do they pay you at the end of harvest?
Good question, I was wondering the same thing
We got payed on the 1st and 15th and the bonus arrives in December 😀
Preach the shoes / boots. Or anything buy them slightly larger because you will layer them for warmth ( if you are buying ones you haven't broke in, buy break them bad boys in !) Search thrift , maybe someone else broke them in for you !
Yes! Good advice there. Also don't wait until the last day to go to the thrift store...they may not have your size. 😎 Thank you for the shout out on foot where, many toes will benefit.
Ok this may have already been asked but I am a 65 yr old women with a bad knee and can't stand for twelve hours..but I can drive for ever.....is there a place for me there???
Yes, there is! So in Montana, you don't have to have a CDL to drive the beet trucks. They were short-handed and needed more drivers this year. We witnessed first-time drivers this year...they were pros by the end of the season. 😀
I'd be interested when I retire and hit the road full time and the nomad doing some truck driving for the beat harvest I don't really want to stand around doing that kind of stuff but I cuz I have a CDL and I'm a truck driver I could go drive for the month and make you know that kind of money I do that if you think that would be a possibility
+Scott Sharpe yes definitely a possibility! I don’t know exactly how you get hired but I do know that they were short drivers this year! BTW…. We had a really nice free shower this morning comments of you! THANK YOU!
@@oneadVANtureatatime Good to know, I might be doing the '23 harvest. Please use the showers as often as you can, again it's NO cost to me, have two a day!
"Let's give it a GOOO!!!"
We signed up for the Minnesota beet harvest this year but it looks like they might not let dogs in this year. I guess we will find something new to do.
Wow. Thanks for such an informative video. My hubby has been debating on doing it next year. Any idea how it differs if you have a family, and only one adult works? Do they still let you park nearby while working?
Hi Laura, this year they did let some families stay at the RV Park when only one person worked. However last year they did not. Iam guessing it depends on how short staffed the beet harvest is. It’s definitely worth asking! Lately everywhere seems to need people to work. 😀
Was that 9k both together?
We are hoping to do this next year and both your videos have been very helpful.
One question for you. Did they have EMT's on site and is that something one could apply for?
Hope you three are doing well. Heidi and Katie.
Hi guys! They did not have any EMT’s that I know of at all. Don't let that stop you 😀 The work is pretty darn easy. I think we will be doing it again next year. They should start hiring in March but there is usually no hurry as they hire right up to October. Contact the “unbeetable experience”. We hope you are somewhere warm and having a good time! Take care. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
@@oneadVANtureatatime thank you for the information. We plan on be there either way so we will see you there if not sooner.
A little cold here in North East Arizona but it's not bad.
Hope you three are doing well. Happy holidays!
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄 ❄️❄️❄️😀😀
Do you need experience or no. I’m very interested in this
Good video
Thank you, Bill. 😀
Hi Guys! I was wondering what the cell coverage is at the camp? Thank you: )
+Tim Darnell I believe we had 2 bars Verizon LTE
Do you guys always go to Montana or have you done other locations? Want to give it a go but what state/area should I go....Anyway thanks for a great video and information that tells me I can do it....
+Jim N Jel E. Bean - DAY ONE we have worked in Montana and Michigan. The Montana plant shut down and we would NOT recommend Michigan. We were going to work in Minnesota this year but we decided to try the potato harvest instead of beets this year. Tons of beet jobs in Minnesota!!
what was wrong with Michigan?
So, what do you do with your dog for 12 hrs every day while your working ??
We alternated breaks and lunch just so we could take Roodle out for a walks every couple of hours.
I like ur video however hand a question: how can I become a truck driver for the farmer?
That I do not know….. sorry!
At the beet harvest we are hired through express. I believe the farmers do their own hiring. You might contact the unbeetable experience…. They might be able to direct you.
@@oneadVANtureatatime that’s ok thanks anyway
Dinner. Are there microwaves in the lunch area? Your net, after taxes, is that total for the two of you?
Yes there is a microwave, coffee maker, and refrigerator in the break shack. Yes, that is the net after taxes for the two of us. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime ...Thanks. Travel On.
Are there families in which one parent works day and the other night while kids are at the Rv? Or one parent works the other doesn’t?
+The 3 Mouseketeers yes! You can work that out with your coordinator or supervisor.
Can you do it if you don't have a van or RV or travel trailer?
+Laura Victorious yes, sometimes they will put you in a hotel.
@@oneadVANtureatatime thank you. I've applied and will have a phone interview in a few days.
Hi. Great video. Can Canadians work this seasonal job???
That I do not know. You would have to contact the unbeetable experience to discuss out-of-country workers.
Wow you guy are not making much hourly in the Red River Valley they pay 20 plus and pay for campsite
True... our campsite was paid for. We usually ended up working longer than Red River Valley so I think the pay was comparable in that respect. We will be working somewhere in that area this year since Sidney Montana closed. Michigan was the worst pay! They work nine hour days, no stay pay!
I hear there was a beet harvest in like 2 or 3 different states other than the state you worked in. If this is more than one, do you know if any of those others harvest in November or December instead of October?
I want to say the one in Michigan is in November. Some people work there way east with the harvest. 😎
I worked the harvest in Grand Forks ND this year. We start on October 1 and work about 12 to 14 days. It took us until the 24th this year to get the harvest in. We were planning on doing the Michigan harvest. They start around the 15th of October but the timing did not work out.
What time did they have you starting and ending for the day shifts?
I believe they said 7am to 7pm.
@@perfectlylonely Missed that - thanks!
The math isn't working out to $9000 net. Please explain. I get about $3300 each gross pay. 14 days at 12 hrs is 168 total hours. $1900 regular pay and $1400 time and one half.
Listen again..2 working and they worked more than 2 wks
@@judiwilson9229
?? I heard 14 days
+chris Subleski we worked more than 14 days. We worked the entire month of October with only a few weather days when they called off work. Our biggest stretch was 14 days in a row!!!
Our 1st check was $1,300 each, 2nd check was $2,100 each and we are expecting our last check to be around $1,500 each. We haven’t included the bonus yet which comes in December
What's the website regarding jobs for beet harvest?
+Carmen Colon www.theunbeetableexperience.com
Was that 9000 each im am really interested in doing this next season who did you contact to do this thanks
Hi Lance, Turns out we made a little over 5000 each after taxes. Not bad considering the RV park was free. Contact “ The unbeetable experience “ online. They usual start hiring late February.
@@oneadVANtureatatime thanks for the info if you get to Indiana before next July give me a shout would like to meet up with you
So a could a single person with a dog do this?
Yes! There was at least a couple single people there with pets and had no problems. 😎🐕
Soooo those of us who are from northern Wisconsin (used to -25 in the winter) should have no problem? 😉
Exactly
@@oneadVANtureatatime 😎👍🏼
I just grabbed a bunch of dehydrated backpacker meals for myself so I don't have to cook
It won't be long now! We have to check in on the 23 I think. We better start thinking about what food to bring this year.👍😀
Do they provide housing or do I need to bring a tent 🤣lol
Some places will put you up in a hotel. This year's spots are filling up fast. Contact the Unbeetable experience as soon as you can. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime ok Just put in for it & thanks
No way would I do all that hard work.
POV- you going to work there and finding out what it's like
We love the Montana beet harvest! It's a small town but still has several good places to eat that are locally owned. If we do another beet harvest it will be here in Sydney. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime also going out to caro Michigan
Hi, friend. After watching your video, I think you are very suitable to promote our LED headlight bulbs. Are you interested in cooperating with us? I contacted you on Ins. Hope to hear from you. Thanks.
Thank you for thinking about us and reaching out. We appreciate the offer but are not interested currently.
@@oneadVANtureatatime Okay, hope we can work together in the future.
If I did this, I would have to get a hotel for 1-2 weeks. Each week, I would be spending $1,000 on a hotel. Do you think it’s worth my time to make a profit?
