    Yall are the quintessential salt of the earth, good people who live in the rural areas that span all across these United States. Our way of life is slowly slipping away. I dont understand why anyone would want to live differently. I also live in a rural part of the States, MI to be exact. Thank you for shining a light on the beauty and simplicity of Rural living. You have an amazing gift for telling storys with your camera and commentary. Thank you.

      Donna here, I spent vacation in Loveland, going to Estes Park, and then spent a winter in my 20s working at Keystone. I would have stayed but the cost of living was OUTRAGEOUS, even back in the 80s! I love it there.

    Just wanted to plug, that Beam Dream cocoa helped me overcome 18 YEARS of chronic insomnia! I've been drinking it since December (I got in on the black friday sale you promoted). It is worth every frikkin' penny!!!! I can go to sleep WHEN I want, I can actually have a sleep schedule instead of waiting (sometimes 4 days) to be so exhausted my brain could sort of shut off. I roll over after about an hour, then again two hours after that, I sleep like a rock for 4-5 hours, and often roll over once more for another hour or 2.
    I'm actually dreaming! I was never able to get into a REM sleep!
    I had prescription medications that messed me up and depleted my body of GABA and then my body no longer knew how to make it. I'm hoping that the Beam will help with that too.
    It's a miracle for me.
    I'd fully forgotten what it was like to wake up feeling like I'd actually slept, and then to go through a full 16 hours day and not be exhausted at all! I'm refreshed when I get up, I'm more alert. My moods are more level and I'm getting healthier overall with losing weight and not having so much stress! It was killing my adrenals let me tell you!

    I remember going out on winter mornings in WV to see how trees I’d seen hundreds of times had been changed by the snow and ice. It was if all the artisans at Fenton Glass had shown up and worked through the night to create a perfect glimmering masterpiece.

    Great episode! This one brought back the easy pace of the earlier days. Golden hour is pretty amazing up there.
    Unfortunately, it looks like climate change may have given New England a little preview with that unusual mild winter. Forecasts are suppose to hit record highs everywhere again, this coming season… at least you still get to wear flannel shirts for awhile. Beautiful environment though, small towns, woods, streams, mountains and big open fields. Hope to get up that way before the clock runs out.
    You folks have made a good life, a nice home, a cabin, cars, tractors, good friends,… your hard work is paying off.

    My Dad used to take rope and tie it up before cutting it up way back in the day. The old tricks they knew back then. And I'm right there with you on the lack of snow, we need good snow fall for wells and for the water table in lakes and streams. Plus keep the bitting insects away!

    We've been having tulips and daffodils poking up through the winter snow here on Cape. Although I always wish we could get some more snow for the season, I'm excited to already be seeing early signs of Spring. I'm enjoying the slow pace, finding solace in warm blankets, hot coffee, and admiring the barren, tangled tree branches. But I'm really just itching for warm weather adventures again..

    May I suggest you see if you can find a concrete plant “washout” normally they give it away. It would be great for a bottom coat of a driveway. Has lime in it. So not near a garden. Then get some road crush for the top of the driveway. It’s a project.

    Donna here, just catching up. You make living in the north look so inviting. I have one question: Have you written a book, if not, why not? I started watching your channel for the fall color videos, but got invested when you had the trouble with your off grid cabin. (What horrible people!!) All that to say if you wrote a book, I would so buy it! That trick with the ratchet strap could be in the chapter about living off grid without wearing yourself out. ;)

    I found your channel in late August/September, put them in order & watched them from the beginning (my OCD wouldn't "allow" me to skip around 🤣).
    You brought such wonderful memories for me whether it was watching the sepia hues of those reel-to-reel home movies of dad teaching me to swim in our Atlantic ocean backyard of Beach 59th, Far Rockaway; or learning to crank up (& drive) dad's Bug then being gifted the '64 Falcon (& in my infinite 15 y/o wisdom, wondering why learn the stick then?? Because if you can drive a stick... you can drive...ANYTHING😉)...
    through inspiring my creation of unique walking sticks for our first fall cabin (& first Air B&B EVER!☺️) getaway to the N. GA mtns & trail walks to just enjoying time w a kindred spirit.
    But it wasn't just that as much as it's the wood burning stoves! I remember the day dad bricked up the fireplace in the '32 Cape Cod fixer-upper he & mom saved up to get us into in '75. Dad worked w a wood cutting father & nephew side business after his shifts on the LIRR. So 3/4 of our backyard was always stacked. I'd help weekly w rotating & seasoning the cuts throughout the warmer months, always prepping that 'lil 2.5-3 foot cast iron workhorse for that first nip to hit early September which always signaled the prelude to 'hunkering down.'
    That little reliable beauty kept that house snug all the way through my brother's enlistment & my eventually venturing out on my own after high school.
    I can't describe how absolutely DELICIOUS of a feeling it is to sit back when things are a bit rough and challenging and have these memories to rely on and take me to a simpler time.
    I've commented in many of the videos that I could watch compilations of just the wood burning stoves!
    Then you sharing about the 'town' brings us to our own 'battle' trying to maintain our acreage where the deer and wildlife have found refuge from the bulldozing that further encrouches on their habitat (we currently have a FOURTH car wash and yet another coffee drive through which, after only 5 months, has already got a 'for lease' sign in the window...but took out five acres of mixed foliage including hardwoods😕)
    We'll be looking to relocate to the mountain ridgeline along the TN/GA border where nature is not only appreciated but fought for (at least for now).
    Thank you for genuinely expressing how wonderful and joyous simplicity truly is. Less really IS MORE!!
    ~Best to all!

      Whether it's an old driveway that has washed out and disappeared like mine, or if you're just digging in your yard, the further down you dig, the harder the soil gets. You want a hard pack base to build a driveway off of. If you were to cut a new driveway from scratch, you would remove the top soil and get down to tougher soil before building it back up. Otherwise when it rains the new driveway mix will just sink into the muddy soil. I'm removing the mud as it shows itself so that in the spring I can ad gravel and make a driveway that won't wash out or turn into a mud pit. Thanks for tuning in and I appreciate the support!

    You guys have such beautiful, cozy properties! Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us! Was it last year that your area got the big snow?

    Would it be possible to borrow/rent a mulching machine and mulch the ‘bad’ wood to spread on the driveway until you can pave?

    Great video! I was wondering if you changed cameras or maybe editing style. It looked a bit different this round. Then again I could be wrong. Anyway I really enjoyed it. Thanks 😊

    Are you planning to become a writer? I enjoy your narration of these videos. Is this recent lack of snow due to global warming? Thanks.

    Kyle another good video Excellent drone and sunset images . I saw you cutting wood with your buddy John. Did anyone ever tell you’re not to wear 2 different color plaids at the same time?😂 You are got nailed with snow compared to the Boston area ,congratulations on selling the Range Rover so quickly. The only real constant is time it’s always going.

      haha i'm honestly still in awe about it.. there's plenty more to get. I think i've got 5 or 6 chord stacked up by now.. at this point the pile is about 5 feet high x 50 feet long and 5 feet wide of solid ash and some cherry
