My grandfather was a Kansas wheat farmer. He died 53 years ago. He would have loved watching this operation. Thanks for reminding us where our groceries really come from!😊
Thank you. We love the farming community out there and we were excited to have the opportunity to film this in such a unique fashion. Glad you enjoyed it.
You know, we all need to be so thankful to the farmers and ranchers that provide our food. It was cool watching the work being done. I loved seeing Orion again. Safe travels wherever you two go next.
"PONY EXPRESS" We stayed here 2 years ago and plan on going back in June on my way out to the 2024 West Coast HDT Rally. Down the hill from your site were the big rig sites. The lady that runs the place had just had 4 spots leveled and paved with 50AMP. FYI the food here is great. FYI Hamilton Missouri is the capital of Quilting. Home of the Missouri Star Company.
We are incredibly fortunate to be able to live this lifestyle and to share it with everyone. It's memories for us and our family and a way for us to give back to the community. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
You both are an inspiration, I'm a 44 year old Dad with 2 kids and 2 step kids all under 16 and already find myself looking forward to this sort of life and having grandkids. I'm glad to see you're back in voyager! Safe travels.
Wow, no grass growing under your feet!!! Surprised you don’t want to rest a bit after the big Alaska trek. Love the cherry cabinets in Orion. And that farm is gorgeous, thanks for the wonderful harvest footage.
David, your thump thump, reminded me of my dad. He was always doing the same thing. Especially when my grandmother would be in the way of the car. It was always a joke with us kids, and never within earshot of my grandmother or my mom.
Loved the lake reflection @ 3:40 on your camper…that is calendar worthy! Stopped the video to take a long look. Our 3 daughters all married farmers and so the farming segment looks beautifully familiar to us here in mid Canada. PS our daughters all had a huge learning curve being farmers wives but they have adjusted so well. They had each to cry with when needed in the early stages 😅 a beautiful family you have! 🇨🇦 ❤
Thank you, Yvonne. I thought that reflection shot was just so peaceful and perfect. Glad you liked it. We've met so many farm families out there and they are all so passionate about their lifestyle/work culture. It's a neat area. Glad your daughters got over the curve together.
I am 78 and my husband and i we going to do what you guys are doing .we drove truck for 17 years to gather then i drove by my self for 10 years after he passed away .So i watch you guys love watching you.
An amazing video. With lots of different things. The farming part was the best part. I grew up on a farm and that is where I still am. I love the quiet peaceful life and the fresh air and gorgeous sunlight. There is no place like being on a wonderful farm.
You two have had some grand adventures the last six months. I bet it feels good to be home. I’ve really been enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing ❤
Great job, so happy we found you both, Alaska was so awesome, we been there 20 years ago, alot of memories, never forgotten it, love how happy you both are, thank you love your videos 😊
Just when you relax thinking everything is fine, some happens that you don’t expect. That’s how you know you are alive. Can’t wait to see what the future brings. Happy trails to you, until next week …
It's good to see Spacecraft isn't different than any other RV dealer. Had the thing for 6 mos and it wasn't ready when you show up. Thanks for being truthful.
There is a difference but we were a little surprised too. We were hoping that it would have been done. But... we were prepared for that...experience. Thanks for watching.
I sure enjoy your channel. You guys represented Alaska sooo well. I’m kinda of missing it!! Lol. But looking forward to seeing your new adventures too. Thanks for another Excellent podcast you two. Big hugs to all❤️🙌
Glad you enjoyed Alaska. We did too! So amazing... and the Arctic... wow. But we have more planned on the big rig so we'll see what's next! Thank you 😊
Enjoy watching your adventures. I grew up near emporia, on a farm, just north of hutch. Was in the fields at 8 years old, running combines . Back all the time.
Crazy journey, right!! Loved it all!! Two things. 1) A great Harvest Host is Pal’s Brewing in North Platte Nebraska. Stayed there twice! The pizza there is awesome!! 2) Next time, if you ever pass through West MI on your journey, get ahold of us! We’d love to show you Lake MI!! Thanks for taking us with you to Alaska!!
Wow, thank you, Maryann! We try to show our travels in a way that we'll enjoy the memories and we're excited that you do too! Glad you're along on the journey.
Thanks again! And very good for you to get superb family reunion time and also reunited with Orion and Voyager!! So nice to follow you and thanks again!!
Our Friends Rick & Denise Parker (SOARING TOGETHER) TH-cam channel were at the HDT rally. Hopefully we’ll be there next year. Another great video guys.
Thank you. We'll be there next year doing some presentations and then back to the farm. Hopefully you'll be able to make it. I know Denise & Ricky have made it several years now.
Hey. We go to Partridge, KS nearly every year and camp on the family farm. Really enjoy the area in the fall. We'll be in Hutch this October for the rally. Thanks for watching the channel.
Hi guys... We ran that same road I 29 so many times... We could probably do it with our eyes closed... All those wind farms you saw.... we've been there.. Grandbabies... Oh my goodness they're so cute... Take tons of pictures because they grow up fast... Our grands are in their 20s and they were just 2 yesterday... What did you find out about your generator... I know you're glad to be back Rollin... It was really nice seeing you guys at the rally... Thanks for the video and stay safe...J&A
Thanks, J&A. Great to see you at the rally. Generator just needs batteries, it was a low amp situation. Good voltage but no amps. Pretty cool being in the wind farms. We toured the facility in Palm Springs which was really neat. Safe travels and see you on the road.
Hi folks 🙂 we’ve just watched you guys reunite with Orion and voyager. Quite an emotional reunion by the looks of it, and amazing to see you’re grandkids again 🥰 great episode we really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing what you’re up to next 👌 Ohh and btw David you’ve inspired me to buy a drone so I’m looking forward to getting some footage of our time on the road too. Cheers 🍻 All the best from scotland 🏴 Blair & Mel
I hope we have inspired you in a good way, Blair &Mel! I've had several drones and DJI had been the best one so far. More expensive but worth it. It was emotional to get back in Orion but oh, so nice! Safe travels to you guys.
You guys do such wonderful job on your videos filming and taking photos and top notch editing. We love watching your adventures and your personalities and voices are very comforting. Thank you for all the hard work and sure long hours putting all these videos together, you’re sure getting a lot of views. In 2 days this video already has 33k plus views. Way to go and hope you’ll be making a few bucks to help with expenses.
Thank you so much 😀, Louis. Wow! Very unexpected for the channel to be at 30K already. We never expected this but appreciate everyone who watches the channel and is part of the community.
This was a very satisfying episode, I think because I couldn't help but think of the explorers and pioneers that traveled and crossed the mighty Missouri and settled this huge country.
Welcome back! We have stayed at the Fairgrounds at Hutchinson. We enjoy your TH-cam videos! We’re always excited when you stay or visit places we have been!
Surprised not to see Orion hooked up to on of those silage trailers. Thought the initial pictures of the corn was too green to harvest till I say the silage cutter.
LOVED the editing and the music while corn was being taken off. I grew up in the thumb of MI and this isn’t new to me but what always impressed me was how the truck and combine worked together!!
I was both locked in & out of my 4 day old truck camper, was given a tension wrench and rake by lock smith while awaiting new lock set. Took 2 days for new lockset to arrive, and now capable of opening locks in less than 3 minutes. Basically the spring loaded cover for keyway snapped into locked position, cover meant to keep weather out.
Welcome back to the lower 48. Who knows where Partridge, KS is? I do. I have family there in the Mennonite community. Thank the farmers, always. Family so in Huntsville. Smaller world with internet. Safe travels and God’s blessings.
I loved North Dakota while I lived there. I have been to Bowbells several times. I was in the Air Force at Minot. Great place. I really like your videos
That is awesome! Thank you. We spent a week in Great Basin and I hiked to the summit of Wheeler Peak. Neat place, very unexpected diversity of the area.
So you’re from KS. My family is from Concordia and Columbus KS. Funny. I will be starting my full time RV journey this spring in a much small rig. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel though. Hope you’ve had fun with your family.
Another very enjoyable video. I love your storytelling and that you both are always so calm and joyful. Glad you bring us along on your journey. Thank you both! By the way, I love Sondra’s logic… oh darn, I guess I’m just going to have to go back to the scrap book store! ❤
I'm so glad you're both back. You had your Whataburger fix! We live in Middle Tennessee, and we have Whataburgers now. This Texan we know said they are better out there. Can't wait to see the upcoming videos.
That's neat. They are a different breed. A passion for the lifestyle and a unique way of looking at life and the day to day routines of farming. It's very interesting.
Good to see you two back in Orion. It’s always good to spend time with family and reunite with friends. There was a lot of adventure in this one video…one of your best!
Thanks, Keenan. We'll try to slow down a bit for the holidays but then we're off for the winter out west and more adventures...oh, we may have a few more this year! LOL
Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed it and subscribed. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
We looked at Class A's, but a 5th wheel seemed more like a home. Safety was a factor so a semi-truck is definitely safer than a motorhome. Plus an HDT will last longer than a pickup truck needing fewer repairs since they are designed for the miles with a load. It's not an easy way to RV but we enjoy it. Thanks for watching the channel
Great drone footage of the harvesting. I knew about silage since there are so many dairy farms in central California, but I'd never watched them harvest it. Very interesting.
Ok, so you're very familiar with it but had never seen it from that view. I was amazed when I shot that with the choreography required to efficiently cut it and transport it. Thanks
I thought that you guys might park for awhile and rest but you both must be energy bunnies that just keep going and going. What an amazing trip and happy to see that you are off on more adventures. That harvesting process was great to watch. Those cows will love that!! Safe travels!!
😆 Bill, we have a few things to do before the holidays and the family reunion was one we wanted to participate if at all possible. Glad we did... and there's more on the horizon. Thank you for watching the channel as always.
Nice to see all renewed appreciation for your home. 6 months away Navigator probably blew some black smoke before forgiving you for all that abandonment.
Thanks for the silage explanation! I was fascinated by the harvest process - but was going to be embarrassed to have to ask WHAT they were harvesting. Welcome home - welcome back to Orion/Voyager!! Safe travels on the next piece of your journey!
Thanks, Mary. Great to be back home. The truck felt so good to be driving it again. Don't be embarrassed, I had zero idea of what silage was or how they made it! It was amazing to see, I had fun with the drone. Appreciate your time watching the channel as always.
This is such a great reminder of where our food comes from, and why US and Canada are know as “the attic” of the world…with other places of course! Great to see you safe and sound back from your adventures up there in Alaska! Have a great winter down there somewhere warm! Thank you for the great videos of Alaska and the North! Remi, Québec Canada.
Thanks, Remi! We loved it north of the border but winter was nipping at our heels so time to fly south. It is amazing how much food is produced in the heartland of North America on both sides of the border.
Hi you two, a tip for locks & hinges vegetable oil works faster & best. I have been doing this since a friend told me 20 yrs ago. My family came home last week to no squeaky doors. Love watching you. Stay safe!
My grandfather was a Kansas wheat farmer. He died 53 years ago. He would have loved watching this operation. Thanks for reminding us where our groceries really come from!😊
Thank you. We love the farming community out there and we were excited to have the opportunity to film this in such a unique fashion. Glad you enjoyed it.
You know, we all need to be so thankful to the farmers and ranchers that provide our food. It was cool watching the work being done. I loved seeing Orion again. Safe travels wherever you two go next.
Yes, always good to stay grounded and appreciate the people who provide for us. It's great being in Orion again! Thank you for watching.
Nothing better than the smell of loading silage in the winter. Thank you for reminding the folks the process of making beef.
Thanks, Dan. Love the smell of silage and the process is really cool.
"PONY EXPRESS" We stayed here 2 years ago and plan on going back in June on my way out to the 2024 West Coast HDT Rally. Down the hill from your site were the big rig sites. The lady that runs the place had just had 4 spots leveled and paved with 50AMP. FYI the food here is great. FYI Hamilton Missouri is the capital of Quilting. Home of the Missouri Star Company.
Nice. Great area and super quiet. Love Hwy 60 across Missouri. ❤️
You guys are so blessed to be living this beautiful lifestyle . I can only dream of being able to do this one day. ❤
We are incredibly fortunate to be able to live this lifestyle and to share it with everyone. It's memories for us and our family and a way for us to give back to the community. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
You both are an inspiration, I'm a 44 year old Dad with 2 kids and 2 step kids all under 16 and already find myself looking forward to this sort of life and having grandkids. I'm glad to see you're back in voyager! Safe travels.
Thanks, Richard. It's a great lifestyle but did require the proper mindset. Wow! 4 children, hang in there! Enjoy this time!
Wow, no grass growing under your feet!!! Surprised you don’t want to rest a bit after the big Alaska trek. Love the cherry cabinets in Orion. And that farm is gorgeous, thanks for the wonderful harvest footage.
😆 and RV has wheels and we like to keep them rolling but we will have a little downtime...sort of...😅😆
Beautiful life… Beautiful people ❤
Thanks, Louise. Glad you enjoyed it. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

Born in Liberal, KS, grew up in Great Bend and Salina, KS. Now live in Southern Illinois. Love watching the combines cutting silage. ❤🌽🌻

You should add more to your videos, like dinner prep, watching what you cook is always very entertaining
Thank you. We may try that in the future.
So great, glad you're trip went well and you're home safely. The family is beautiful, enjoy getting back into Orion's ginormous "space." 😊
Thank you. We're excited to be back in the cavernous confines of Orion!
Awesome last six months guys thanks for taking us along for the adventure Love seeing you back in your big rig ❤
It was really nice being back in the big rig, Wayne. Thank you for watching. Let's see what's next.
Wow the equipment they used to harvest is amazing. Thx for sharing.
It is so amazing and cool. We had a blast with it.
Thanks for sharing your family farm! Beautiful drone work!! ❤❤❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
This is the most incredible rig I've ever seen!!!
Thank you. It's home... and we take it everywhere.
The planning and coordination of all your stops is remarkable. Enjoy your videos so much! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, Scott. It was an evolving plan. We weren't sure of our travel days and road conditions and how long we'd want to drive. It worked out well.
Enjoy watching your adventures. I grew up near emporia, on a farm, just north of hutch. Was in the fields at 8 years old, running combines . Back all the time.
Thanks for sharing. Those combines are crazy big and now, they have all kinds of electronics. Amazing.

Sounds great, we'll make a note of the HH. We'll be in MI in a few years. Really want to explore the UP. Thank you we'll get in touch.
@@bigtruckbigtravels the UP is gorgeous!!! Safe travels!
What a beautiful sunset.
Thanks, Terry. It was gorgeous.
You guys are so good at backing you shouldn't worry a bout backing up.
We're always wary of backing up... we don't want a big "oops" to happen! But, thank you for the vote of confidence!
So happy you enjoyed your trips Glad you got to spend time with your grandkids and family members and friends Have a wonderful week
Thanks, Debra. Great to spend time with them. Always fun. Hope your week is going well.
Your new video just completed my day. Thank you. Your music is beautiful.

You're welcome, Marco. It was great to be on the farm. Love it out there. Great to be in Voyager and Orion again too! Great talking with you too.
The harvesting segment was really cool! Can I go to the scrapbook store too!?😂

Thanks so much!! We were excited to be back.
Welcome “home”! Great stuff again. Onward & upward … here’s to your next grand adventure! Have fun 😊
Thanks, Don. We'll keep moving forward. We have more planned.
Our Friends Rick & Denise Parker (SOARING TOGETHER) TH-cam channel were at the HDT rally. Hopefully we’ll be there next year. Another great video guys.
Thank you. We'll be there next year doing some presentations and then back to the farm. Hopefully you'll be able to make it. I know Denise & Ricky have made it several years now.
Great videos. My sister lives in Hutchinson, Ks. Glad you were able to spend time with your grandkids. Be safe and take care!❤
I have several family members in and around Hutchison, Amish and Mennonite.
Hutch is a nice town. We enjoy it plus they have a great farmers market in season and Strataca is very cool.
Hello from Hutchinson, Kansas. I am born and raised here in Hutchinson...
Hey. We go to Partridge, KS nearly every year and camp on the family farm. Really enjoy the area in the fall. We'll be in Hutch this October for the rally. Thanks for watching the channel.
Great video as always! The farming process was incredible!
Glad you enjoyed it! We thought it was so cool. I wanted to show it in a differnt light and we really enjoyed how it turned out. Thanks
Hi guys... We ran that same road I 29 so many times... We could probably do it with our eyes closed... All those wind farms you saw.... we've been there.. Grandbabies...

Hi folks 🙂 we’ve just watched you guys reunite with Orion and voyager. Quite an emotional reunion by the looks of it, and amazing to see you’re grandkids again 🥰 great episode we really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing what you’re up to next 👌
Ohh and btw David you’ve inspired me to buy a drone so I’m looking forward to getting some footage of our time on the road too. Cheers 🍻
All the best from scotland 🏴
Blair & Mel
I hope we have inspired you in a good way, Blair &Mel! I've had several drones and DJI had been the best one so far. More expensive but worth it. It was emotional to get back in Orion but oh, so nice! Safe travels to you guys.
@@bigtruckbigtravels thanks for you reply 🙂 I got a DJI mini 2 SE 👍🏻 now just got to learn how to fly it lol. Safe travels to you both.
yeay....on the road again.....😀......

We're excited too! Thank you!
This was a very nice video to watch. Thank you very beautiful.
So nice of you to comment on it and glad you enjoyed it. We head out west in 2024 so we're excited to have you along on the journey.
You got some CUTE pix of your precious granddaughters👍😊❤️‼️
I think so too! Thank you.
The harvest is so impressive! Wow! Amazing to watch with all the new equipment!
It was shocking to us! We enjoyed just watching the process! Thanks

Thank you so much. We never thought the channel would grow this fast and enjoy sharing our experiences. Plus it's memories for us on our travels.
Must be fantastic to this type of experience to drive across USA.. I'd love it, obviously I need a lottery win to do it.. Enjoy😁
We love it and are very fortunate to enjoy this lifestyle. Thanks for watching
Congratulations on reaching 30,000 subscribers! 🎉🎊🥂🍾

Good to see ya back in the old stomping grounds. ❤

Yeehaw! It's how we roll! Thank you
I really enjoy watch your vlog every week. Thanks for sharing.
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
Awesome super c motor home and spacecraft rv & Volvo rig top that’s great guys
Thank you. We enjoy the flexibility but always good to be home... on wheels! Thanks for watching the channel.
This was a very satisfying episode, I think because I couldn't help but think of the explorers and pioneers that traveled and crossed the mighty Missouri and settled this huge country.
Thank you. It's a vast territory with so many unique areas.
Welcome back! We have stayed at the Fairgrounds at Hutchinson. We enjoy your TH-cam videos! We’re always excited when you stay or visit places we have been!
Thank you. That's cool, great minds think alike!
Surprised not to see Orion hooked up to on of those silage trailers. Thought the initial pictures of the corn was too green to harvest till I say the silage cutter.
LOL, Rod, that would have been a sight to see. Voyager (truck) hooked up in the field! Thanks for the comment and watching the channel.
@@bigtruckbigtravels oops, knew what I wanted to say, but didn't. Hope you are finding the 70's as your average temperatures
Thanks for sharing your life with us .I enjoy your videos.🇨🇦

Wow! Karen, you are one of the few who knows Partridge, KS! That's great. Always thank the farmers!
Great Video thanks 👍👍🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it, Steve. It's good to be back in the big rig. Thanks for watching.

Nice with the truck parking! 😆 That's important! Thanks
Hi, we live in Utah and noticed Sondra wearing a Great Basin shirt. We were over there last weekend. We've really been enjoying your adventures.
That is awesome! Thank you. We spent a week in Great Basin and I hiked to the summit of Wheeler Peak. Neat place, very unexpected diversity of the area.
Welcome home!
Thank you, Steve. Good to be home.
I miss the beautiful scenery.! But it is always great to be home!
Agreed. But we'll have more down here. 😊
So you’re from KS. My family is from Concordia and Columbus KS. Funny. I will be starting my full time RV journey this spring in a much small rig. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel though. Hope you’ve had fun with your family.
Thank you, Katherine. Always fun to get out on the farm. That's exciting about your fulltime journey. Thanks for watching.
Your uncle has a beautiful farm. Great place to boondock.
Thank you. Beautiful boondocking spot and so quiet... except when the coyotes get noisy or the raccoons fight! 😆
Another very enjoyable video. I love your storytelling and that you both are always so calm and joyful. Glad you bring us along on your journey. Thank you both! By the way, I love Sondra’s logic… oh darn, I guess I’m just going to have to go back to the scrap book store! ❤
😆 and she would have in a heartbeat! Thank you for watching and appreciate your comments.
I'm so glad you're both back. You had your Whataburger fix! We live in Middle Tennessee, and we have Whataburgers now. This Texan we know said they are better out there. Can't wait to see the upcoming videos.
Thanks for watching, Teresa. I think Texas Whataburgers are better but I'll take them wherever I can get them. 😆
Loved the video! Three months full time for us….still learning, but enjoying every minute!
Thank you. You're just getting started! Glad to hear it's fun for you. This lifestyle is great but not for everyone. Safe travels
Congrats on 30K subscribers!!!
Thank you so much 😀 Very unexpected and surreal. Appreciate your comment.
My nephew is a farmer in Stirling!
That's neat. They are a different breed. A passion for the lifestyle and a unique way of looking at life and the day to day routines of farming. It's very interesting.
Good to see you two back in Orion. It’s always good to spend time with family and reunite with friends. There was a lot of adventure in this one video…one of your best!
Thanks, Keenan. We'll try to slow down a bit for the holidays but then we're off for the winter out west and more adventures...oh, we may have a few more this year! LOL
Glad to see you back in the big guy!
Us too! We're really enjoying it.
Just discovered your videos, love them!!!! Subscribed.
Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed it and subscribed. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
Interesting, but was curious about the beginnings of Orian. How you decided you needed something so big vs a Class A, how you picked him out, etc.
We looked at Class A's, but a 5th wheel seemed more like a home. Safety was a factor so a semi-truck is definitely safer than a motorhome. Plus an HDT will last longer than a pickup truck needing fewer repairs since they are designed for the miles with a load. It's not an easy way to RV but we enjoy it. Thanks for watching the channel
Bet it was so nice to get back into you big house
wow! Very nice indeed. We had forgotten how nice it was to be back in it. Not sure we'll be getting back into Curiosity anytime soon! LOL 😊🤣
@@bigtruckbigtravels we started watching you guys at the start of the trip to Alaska. This was our first time seeing much of Orion
Thanks for a New video. Love your video. Love from Norway 💕🌹
You're welcome. Thanks for watching all the way from Norway!
Great drone footage of the harvesting. I knew about silage since there are so many dairy farms in central California, but I'd never watched them harvest it. Very interesting.
Ok, so you're very familiar with it but had never seen it from that view. I was amazed when I shot that with the choreography required to efficiently cut it and transport it. Thanks
I thought that you guys might park for awhile and rest but you both must be energy bunnies that just keep going and going. What an amazing trip and happy to see that you are off on more adventures. That harvesting process was great to watch. Those cows will love that!! Safe travels!!
😆 Bill, we have a few things to do before the holidays and the family reunion was one we wanted to participate if at all possible. Glad we did... and there's more on the horizon. Thank you for watching the channel as always.
Do a whole week in tallapoosa Georgia with the international.
Hmmm...whose International? And what's in Tallapoosa, Ga?!?
👍 Thanks for taking us along. Glad to see Orion again!
Thank you. Us too!
Nice to see all renewed appreciation for your home. 6 months away Navigator probably blew some black smoke before forgiving you for all that abandonment.
I think it's acting really good so we don't leave it again! Lol. Thanks for the comments. 😃
Thanks for the beautiful views❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always welcome. There will be more to come!
You are moving right along. The Sioux City park is fairly new. Old campground taken out by a flood just a few years ago. Nice place.
Thanks for the info! Ok that makes sense because it seemed in really good shape with large sites.
Thanks for the silage explanation! I was fascinated by the harvest process - but was going to be embarrassed to have to ask WHAT they were harvesting. Welcome home - welcome back to Orion/Voyager!! Safe travels on the next piece of your journey!
Thanks, Mary. Great to be back home. The truck felt so good to be driving it again. Don't be embarrassed, I had zero idea of what silage was or how they made it! It was amazing to see, I had fun with the drone. Appreciate your time watching the channel as always.
That’s a wonderful life. God Bless
Thank you very much. We're very fortunate.
just finished 2023 alaska playlist
Wow! Congratulations 🎊! Thanks for watching the channel. Hope you enjoyed it.
I love your channel i am 63 and can\t do what you both can hugs from Mississippi@@bigtruckbigtravels
👍
😄👋🤙
Wow! Didn’t know you had family here! I’m in Derby (outside Wichita) loved seeing Kansas. Yay!!
So cool! Small world. We love being on the farm.
This is such a great reminder of where our food comes from, and why US and Canada are know as “the attic” of the world…with other places of course! Great to see you safe and sound back from your adventures up there in Alaska! Have a great winter down there somewhere warm! Thank you for the great videos of Alaska and the North! Remi, Québec Canada.
Thanks, Remi! We loved it north of the border but winter was nipping at our heels so time to fly south. It is amazing how much food is produced in the heartland of North America on both sides of the border.
Hi you two, a tip for locks & hinges vegetable oil works faster & best. I have been doing this since a friend told me 20 yrs ago.
My family came home last week to no squeaky doors. Love watching you. Stay safe!
Great tip! Thank you. I'll have to try that next time.
