Hey guys, here's the link to the (free) classes from the "Frugal Homesteaders" Watch "How to Find An Affordable Homestead and Make It Work For You" HERE: abundanceplus.com/pages/frugal-homesteading
Thanks for adding this in Justin!
We purchased a neglected piece of land for less than one half the price of our neighbors.We found an abandoned well, septic system and an abandoned vehicle and 8 tons of metals, including copper. The abandoned well ended up being an artesian with perfect water. All we needed was to replace the well pump and casing. The abandoned vehicles and metals paid for our well rebuild, new septic piping, and the installation of the water line. Sometimes, blessings are found in the middle of the ugly. We love our property and are on course to produce most of our food by years end.

Gods Blessings 😊
This is very inspiring! I hope one day I can be blessed like this too🌿💛
I'm fifteen and when you were talking to Jonah about getting a moped I started laughing because my dad is always joking about what car I'm going to drive too! Also you guys are so inspirational! We have 10 acres and are trying to create a little haven for our family and live off the land as much as possible. You guys have really helped me stay motivated and keep moving forwards with my goals for the property.
One word: "GOONIES" a must watch.
My 3 boys are 26, 23, and 19. They all listen to the old music. Classic rock, the stations call it. I'm 55. I call it geezer rock. I got sick to death of listening to the same songs over and over, and over (Hotel California comes to mind). Mostly, the only decent music I've heard being churned out lately seems to be some of the country stuff. I'll still listen to some Yonder Mountain String band (Oklahoma live is awesome), Avett brothers, and just about any kind of the good ole' Bluegrass. Funny, my kids used to make fun of me for my taste in music. Now, they are doing the same as yours and listening to all the stuff I used to play in the car. I think many of the kids now are listening to the older stuff. The smart ones, anyway.
I'm exited for Jonah! I got my learners permit today, I just turned old enough. in VA you can get a learners permit at 15 and 6 months.
Enjoyed the segment on buying land. I found my 6+ acres in North Carolina by searching online while I still lived in California. After narrowing down my list, I then flew out to North Carolina to view properties and make a decision. I did use a real estate agent to ensure the purchase process was done properly, but not to find the property. I paid about $5k per acre 9 + years ago. It was raw land with paved road to front of the property and along North side. After much work, I now have a large custom-built French Country home, chickens, 1 acre lake/pond for raising bass and catfish, fruit trees and now building a 400 square foot whoop house sunk 5 feet into the earth where I hope to garden year-round including warm climate crops like lemons, limes, and oranges.

Jonah, check the return spring on the carburetor and also the throttle cable for damage
I have 3 siblings. We all had to buy our own vehicle. It's amazing how well you will take care of it when we had to buy our own.
My daughter waitressed to earn money for her first car. My parents, me & her Dad matched her so she could get a better car.
Yes, my parents also matched our money for our first car (1970's). We then carried that same thing over to our own kids first car (1990's). After the car is purchased, the parents pay for the insurance, the child pays for gas.
this principle is applicable to any thing a teenager wish to have.
cellphone
shirts
shorts
shoes..
i remember my first ever bought white addidas shoes,
every day after school 5th grade, i wiped them brush them and kept them clean till they don't fit .. my only sister inherited them after a year and a half..🤣🤣
The Princess Bride is my all time favourite movie! We're loving introducing our kids to our favourite bands & movies.
The Doughertys came my farm. They are very nice folks with a good out look. I personally am not for the rotating on grass all year. But the have some very valuable story’s and lessons that they taught me and my family.
"As you wish" Princess Bride is a must watch at least two or more times a year.
I would add another piece of board and staple that chicken wire to that.
Thank you for this video clip. It really makes me grateful for what I have!
Loving that root cellar, can't wait to see Rebekah filling it full of goodies 😍
Thank you for pointing out Holler, not Hollar whoever pointed it out to me. I appreciate it. I wasn't paying attention obviously. Thanks ❤️
Thanks for the sample Doughty's video. That was very interesting even though I'm not looking for land.
You better be young when you decide to start a homestead or have help like children!
Glad you are taking a rest. You guys deserve it. I wonder if you would consider studying Julia Ross' Amino Acid Chart. Her book, the diet cure really helped me understand how amino acids work. I often wonder if you do so well because you are getting full on amino acids in the meat diet. I am also glad that you are adding fermented veggies to help you digest meat. You might consider digestive enzymes and hcL, that helps you digest the high protein diet. Hope you won't be offended. I just love the correlation between good amino acids and health..
Burning wood produces emissions that are widely recognized as harmful to human health. Many of these harmful emissions can occur both indoors and outdoors and many devices operate around the clock. People with lung disease face special risks, but so do children, older adults, people with cardiovascular disease and diabetics.

I love the clip from abundance plus. I find that is true for more then just land when they talked about challenging assumptions and the images in our head.
Congratulations on 1Million Subscribers, thank you for all your videos.
Thank you very much!
Hey Justin, a pressure regulator/limiter can be placed in line with hose connections and might give you a more consistent fill rate that doesn't overflow your water tank.
The last segment of the video was short but straight to the point and very educational!👌🏾
at +0:20 rather than shifting buckets, just put some sort sign, marker, or token hanging on a nail above the next one to use. Then just shift the marker, not the buckets. Alternatively, get 7 buckets and label each one with a day of the week. Or, simpler, just leave a gap between the next and last buckets and leave a scrap block of wood in the gap.
At 1:55, put chicken wire on the outside and staple it down to the top edge (and outside surface) of that baseboard (and of course zip tie the top of it onto the wire fencing).
Well done. Good for you guys
You should put the poultry wire on the other side of the high tunnel on parts that pigs have access to. That'll do farm has a nice analogy on pigs, they are like inmates, they have all the time to plot a plan to get out of the pens. And it's a known fact pigs are pretty damn smart animals
Enjoy your videos!
My 3 yr old niece was stuck on Willow would watch it constantly day out whenever somebody would let her…lol
Blessings to all!
Loved willow great movie, watched it the other day. 😊
Every body you need to go and watch This Farm Wife good people.
congrats on 1M subscribers!
Princess Bride is my all-time favorite movie, the first movie I ever quoted at the age of 3/4years☺️👍🏼
I know this is a sidenote but I like Marvel Movies but I didn't want the rated R version of Deadpool. They did a PG version where they did it like Peter Folk reading to the kid in the Princess Bride. I love it!
Love your vids 😊
I was just thinking about what you said. So much to do on a regular daily basis but pushing to do more. It’s okay for a bit but eventually it will hit you and you will crash. That goes for the kids too.
Thank you.
WOW! you wrangled those pigs one handed WITH a camera on one hand. That is like walking the tight rope without a net! Color me impressed
I like what Mr. Brown said ( If a heraldic came ) About the food pantry you have built. I was thinking you can us it as a Storm shelter from a Tornado or any really bad storms.
Wait 1 min. here Justin the movie WILLOW was the best. I would love to see it again & again over & over. yes it is scary BUT a great move to see. I want you to watch Willow 1 more time with your kids & then tell us if it is still just as scary like you remember it was back as a kid. Star wars was more scary them willow was, & I loves them both.
willow is so good! give it a try
I loved Willow. I must have been older when I saw it first.
The root cellar’s looking good so far!!
Willow is the longest movie of my life oh my!!!😂😂 I can sit through interstellar no problem but willow😭😭😭
put the chicken wire on the other side of the cattle panel away from the hogs.
Love y’all
I'm gen x, grew up with all those classics. My little brother, and sister watched Milo and Otis nearly every day, along with Full House....Hated both of those.
The grip may have been shoved on the bar to far, and the grip is rubbing on the end of the bar. Loosen the screws that hold the grip on the bars and pull it back a little.
Good idea. Maybe that'll fix the throttle.
"So you're saying there's a chance"
Hola good afternoon me was after school I'll be watching the watching you on your board and all the motorcycles when you would a competitions I remember you because me and my brother was sitting in front of the TV watching you
Thanks for sharing 🤗❤👍
justin just add board each side. on the existing boards
That would be pretty simple as long as he anchors them really well.
I've seen a downspout garden beside a rain catchment
Talk about ecological solutions gone bad….the cane toad used in Australia to remove one pest and they became a bigger pest.
If we are voting
My vote is the e350 wagon love mine my son borrows it a lot
The princess bride is my all time favorite but my kids got babes in toy land in a McDonald’s happy meal we watched that movie thousands of times
I love willow!!
Y’all need to watch Garden Answer’s new chicken coop video and take a page from their book-put up hardware cloth instead of chicken wire. Chicken wire won’t keep out determined predators. I mean, realistically, if it can’t keep a chicken *in*, it won’t keep even the dumbest raccoon *out*.
Laura's chickens are pets/family. Justin's chickens are food /workers. I'm starting to wonder someone who's teaching the rest of us to homestead animals REALLY has a hard time keeping control of his livestock. Pigs get out because they are hungry and too big for the small area they are giving. It's really more comical too watch .
Good advice! I've found hardcloth to be so much better in any chicken related housing. Well worth the money!
I dont think they care about the predators with the LGD no predators would take the chance besides maybe wolves or a bear but doubtful they would take a chance also and no wolves in NC.
@@marcoturtlecraze2484 Rats are predators where chickens are involved, and the Rhodes have already lost quite a few chicks to a determined rat once before. The high tunnel might as well be a big block of Swiss cheese for all the easy ways in for small predators.
They had problems with rats and chicks and fixed the holding area but they have enough cats to keep them at bay. In a farm you will always have rats. I understand rats can be predators but they aren't having a problem with rats because they have enough predators. The LGD keeps everything else besides aerial predators out. I do however like the idea of hardware cloth:) I think mainly they are just trying to keep their chickens from escaping like everyday which I agree with hardware cloth I like that!
Put the poultry fence on the outside.
There’s a fun movie for kids called The Secret of Roan Innish. We love it!
Use brake cleaner on the sticky throttle
Hi there friends!!!!❤
You can’t go wrong with Pearl Jam, ever.
Hi all
Get him an OLD HOPPTY TRUCK TO WRECK. LOL. Something to use, practice in and not to matter if its wrecked.
UHF best hands down!! Space balls close second LOL!
Uses rain catchment to water garden and animals
Lol Willow scary but Dumb and Dumber good? I love Willow but it was scary. The Princess Bride is the best though
Don’t forget the “Goonies”, my 4 sons favorite movie!
Hi..... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐩🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐇🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
American homestead on TH-cam has a great video on how to have a safe chicken coop
@justin willow has a new tv series running at the moment :)
Jonah should buy a old truck. If he puts a dent in it so what. Not a big deal. Plus he or you won’t be in debt for 10 years.
Some truck models to AVOID.
2000-2012 ford f 150. Bad motor issues
Any Chevy truck in existence they are all garbage.
Any truck of any brand newer then 2016. Since 2016 they have used cheap parts that are hard to get and break a lot.
My personal pick would be a 1999-2004 dodge 2500. Just find one with the 5.9 GAS motor. And avoid ones that are rusty. But they are easy to find and are pretty safe and reliable
I know you might not have another place but maybe the brooder room. But the extra moisture in with the skins seems like your defeating your purpose of drying out the skins.
Got 16 days left!
I had the VHS of Babe in Toyland!!!!❤
LOL
We have a spot in our yard where we need to divert water run off from an old barn. We’re thinking about having a ditch dug but I’m wondering if it could be diverted with wood chips?
Any ideas?
Gravel is probably your best bet. A French drain is perhaps what you need to do to protect your barn. Wood chips would hold in the moisture which is something you don't want next to the barn foundation. Gravel will channel it away.
collect it for garden use with gutter diverter and tanks.

You never mentioned your sister, or i missed it somehow. Good to know about her though.
True. How many siblings does he have?
QUESTION: Do you think a 5 acre farm in Burt county, Nebraska could produce enough food for ten people. I mean veggies, fruit, nuts dairy and meat???
around maybe 5:25 Mr. Brown was doing a dance move.
Isn't Lyme disease suppose to go away with antibiotic?
Doesn’t he also have Rheumatoid arthritis?
@@Miguel195211 He had reactive arthritis from the Campylobacter infection he got from the raw chicken liver he ate ( he's not sure that's where it came from). The Lyme disease he had too long before he got antibiotics so he missed that window and so he has Chronic Lyme Disease. The Lyme disease causes him to hurt in his joints also. I believe the infection is gone from the Campylobacter along with the reactive arthritis. This is what still remains from the Chronic Lyme Disease. The inflammation from the Lyme Disease is why he eats mostly meat so his joints don't hurt as much as with a "normal" diet. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease. I don't think he has that.
go from flyashy to classy - the lesson here
“Just when I think you couldn’t be any dumber, you go and do something like this…and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!” 😉
You can buy land for less money than big city rents.
It'd be so awesome to see Jonah dive right into 90s rock.
Nobody knows what UHF is. I love that movie
All the UHF bandwidth is used for -cellphones and such now.
ty..xoxo 🥰👍✌🤟🖐🤪
💖💖
Can you keep pigs and a cow in the same pasture
Could listen to the Doherty’s all day long. Bless them both! Thanks Rhodes. 😊🦘

Babes in Toyland? Sorry, but that's not Babes in Toyland...it's the sequel from the 80's with Drew Barrymore. And I loved both of them, but the first one with Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands was much better than the 80's sequel, for sure. "Toyland, Toyland, wonderful girl and boy land!"
My kids are 19 and 20 now and they watched a lot of what I watched when I was a kid, and they listened to much of the same music I listened to. Classic Rock for the most part, but also Nickelback and Metallica. My youngest is a Nickelback fan now. My oldest somehow ended up liking country music more than anything else.
BTW, we're having torrential storms here in California this week and yeah, we're doing absolutely nothing outside atm. We have no animals other than two indoor cats so that works for us right now. The rain has looked a lot like what your storms look like and that's been so weird. Our "rain storms" are usually like your light showers! LOL
So, we are waterlogged. I look forward to the day that I have animal chores in the rain, though. I so want a reason to go out in the rain other than just to simply go out there. :)
But please keep people out here in your thoughts and prayers and send whatever positive energy you can, whatever it is you do. We have several communities along the coast where their homes are simply gone. Many people are without power and are in flood zones. Tonight we have a flash flood warning until 7:15pm pacific time. It's really horrible for some people here. Our home isn't in the path of any potential flash floods as far as I know but we know people whose homes are and they're scared.
I hope they all get through this okay. Those flash floods are so scary. We bought our homestead up on a bluff because we really didn't want to be in a flood. Amazing how much it is finally raining there.
Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
After you get Jonah his license, he'll need to find himself a woman like his Mom. Daniel Boone found his wife, Rebecca (she spelled it differently than The Beautiful One) in North Carolina; they were married for 56 years and had10 children.
Wonderful to share that with us all! I did not know that.
Find a woman like his mom what lazy and always sick.
I like what the Doherty's say, but again, they forget to add in a woodlot for firewood! I'm wondering if they don't heat with wood?
At their place on the top of the hill it's woods and they do let the cows go up there too. They might heat with wood. I don't know for sure.
@@StoneKathryn The thing is, when they mention how much land they think a small farm should have, they never mention a woodlot, either in this video or in the one Justin did when he visited them (this clip may be from that video). Yet a woodlot is important, I think, both for firewood and for potential building materials. How much land that should be would depend on the climate, how much firewood they needed and how much could be sustainably produced per acre without over-cutting.
@@kathleensanderson3082 I agree that a wood lot is very important. We burn wood and so far it's been off our own land. We've been here 13 years. We have two wood stoves in our home. We have trees along our property line too for potential firewood in the future. We also like the well defined border of our property with the trees and it feels more "homey" to have trees all around us.
Burning wood produces emissions that are widely recognized as harmful to human health. Many of these harmful emissions can occur both indoors and outdoors and many devices operate around the clock. People with lung disease face special risks, but so do children, older adults, people with cardiovascular disease and diabetics.

@@Miguel195211 I have lived with wood stoves as the sole heat in my home for most of my 65 years. Yes, wood smoke can be a pollutant, and where there is a safe, reliable, and affordable alternative, that should be used preferentially.
However.
Electricity and bought-in fuel oil and propane or natural gas are not fully reliable -- the supply can be interrupted, as should be obvious to anyone who has
1. Experienced a power outage for any reason, or
2. Reads the news and is aware of what's going on in Europe at the moment, with Russia not supplying the natural gas that Europe has depended on to heat their homes.
We CANNOT be totally dependent on outside sources for something so absolutely essential as a way to heat our homes. There are a few possible alternatives to using wood to heat private homes that are being worked on, such as geo-thermal (which is still dependent on electricity to move the water through the system in most cases) and methane, but they are not suitable for very many homes at this point, and may never be. A home woodlot, and a good wood stove, even if only used as a backup system, are, in my opinion, absolutely essential. Just ask the people in Texas who nearly (or actually) froze to death a couple of years ago when their grid failed during a cold spell!
And, there are wood stoves that don't produce much smoke at all, such as the masonry heaters from Eastern Europe/Russia/Finland, and the rocket mass heater still in development in this country. These not only smoke a lot less than standard stoves, they also heat your house on about one-third as much wood.
My guess is that you have probably never experienced a prolonged failure of heat in your home; anyone who has understands the necessity of having some kind of backup system. And the best backup system is one that does not depend on power or fuel brought in from off the property. Thus, anyone buying land for a farm really needs to look for property that includes at least two or three acres of woods, more is better.
I know that they have good information, but I would rather watch you... they can be seperate
I thought i saw a video that mentioned the lyme being gone?
Remission maybe, but his lime disease is chronic.
Justin, does it drive u crazy when we make suggestions? well, It does seem that those adult pigs are so bored in a small pen. Can't they also root up the hill to help make pasture grass ready this SPRING (YAY!!) or will they escape? Sorry but i keep wondering about suspenders like Boots wore...
It's to bad , you can't grind up the corn for tortillas.
