Basically a Handmaid state...Ran by a bunch of nuts!

Fire wood makes you warm twice , once when you cut it and once when you burn it . Where not far from you guys, and go through 5-6 chords a winter . We only burn red fir and larch . To old to use a splitting mall anymore, we use a splitter. There's lots to learn about heating with wood . Please be careful with the chain saw. They can hurt you really bad , only takes a second . BTW if your going to burn much pine be sure and burn it hot and, or clean ur chimney often .

Not sure where you are in idaho . Were about 60 miles southeast of Courdealene, and they have been really bad this year . Never heard of trying for the queens early in the seaeson . Ill try that next spring . Cant wait for them to die off after the freeze .

If ur on a well, it's not really a good idea to let the faucets drip . Hard on the well pump . Insulate/ heat areas with exposed lines, use heat tape if you have too. Make sure your lines are buried deep enough and dont run water lines on exterior walls . North idaho is a lot different than western Washington in the winter .

You guys are so blessed to have Mom and Dad's expertise ! Hope you will always be there for them as well ! That's a lot of love there !!!❤

Welcome to Idaho, cool video. Your homestead is coming along nicely.

Loved the video. I’m watching from Mackay ID so I loved the 7C sweatshirt one of the kids was wearing on your fishing trip. So awesome!

Some people think its funny but its snot. LOL

LOVE LOVE LOVED the surprise at the end. Your place is looking great.

Black FOR SURE

BTW awesome channel. Best wishes to your amazing family 💞

For your drainage problems rent heavy machinery or hire it to dig the soil so the water drains away from your livestock. Use a French drain. First dig a trench . Then put the French drain pipe in to carry your water away. The French drain pipe has small holes in it and is placed in the ground to drain the water away. Backfill the trench. We used a French drain to protect a leaky basement. It fixed our problem. Watch Homestead Rescue videos with the Ramsey family on ideas on how to deal with your livestock mud issues. They're awesome at fixing livestock mud/drainage problems.

Trapping is cruel...just because it's legal in your state dosent make it right....great stuff to be teaching your children...I'm extremely disappointed...I thought u had a higher iq

I found that if I wanted big apples I needed to give them lots of water throughout the hot months as well.

Blessings from Baja down here whe use a pantyhose whe put some meat scraps in it close the panty hose tying it whit some rope and throw it in the streem wait a while and recover it and there crowfish get there feet tangled in the pantyhose

I know this ain't a apple tree but I have a plum tree Way put it out about 4 years ago I've never got any plums do you need two or more to have plums or what's my problem do you have any idea

You folks are an inspiration because of all the good things you are doing. The biggest thing you can do for your girls is continue to home school because you are the biggest influence in their futures. Crystal (sp?) you are a natural born teacher and are a wonderful guide for the other families and all of the children. Crystal, be blessed and continue to use your God given talents and skills. (Really enjoy the 'softer' music.) Blessings to all of you fine folks.

WOW!!! You folks have water! That is fantastic that you have a high flowing well so you will have plenty of house water and lots of water for your garden and plants. Big blessings to you!!!

Hey can you add all different kinds of flavor other than just salt to that

Processing and eating your own animals makes for better tasting meals. Blessings to you all.

Making mud pies on your knees is heart-warming because Justin did not freak out when he saw her playing in the mud. Blessings to all of you.

The upstairs bathroom turned out really nice. The tub is big enough to put the girls in for their baths. Justin, I like the cattle panel installiation in the loft railing system. It is so nice to see the girls involved in sanding and painting the cabinet doors. It gives them some 'ownership' in the various projects. "Valuing each other" is so precious and valuable. Blessings to all of you.

Having the water line trench dug to four feet is good insurance against frozen pipes in the winter. The trout look delicious and it is nice seeing many hands preparing supper. More great memories. I love to hear the positive encouragements. Blessings to all of you.

Idaho offers four distinct seasons with harsh winters, warm summers mixed with beautiful fall and spring weather. You are making wonderful memories for all to enjoy. Blessings to all of you folks.

Hey guys. Im going to comment this one time and probably not again because i have opinions. Some people do not agree with them. Whatever, I am from north Idaho. Sandpoint area, colburn culver, Rapid lightning area. Been there done that. 9 to 11 cords of wood every year. Had a huge house with 3 stoves. If your willing to let these people come into your life, be damn sure they have your back. If SHTF , they now know what you got. Can you trust them? Something to think about. Otherwise Im subscribed and watching. Good luck.

Great advice!

What an awesome video!

Goats!

Best homestead Chanel on utube. Surprised at low subscribers. Great job 👏🏼

Love your channel, your family and I love your parents live with you!! It is all about family and there is a peace in all the chaos, well there is always chaos when building a home, but there isn't always peace but you all flow together!!! Bravo!!!

you guys just came up. awesome video and the goats. love from London

Cabin Fever Is Part Of Life God Bless All Good Humans

Guy’s you have a wonderful family and a great show! Keep doing you… and thanks for the journey!!

First time watching your channel....nice homestead! I live in the south west section of Idaho (down by Boise).

We are a cc family too!! I love the affirmations that y’all recite as a family. Do you have a link for a pdf for that? Just subscribed. I also have a channel and would love to be friends and connect. Looking forward to following along. We are considering buying land too but it’s so tricky especially land that is off the grid so that we can have our trailer on it.

It's wonderful to watch you and your family live my dream. Keep keeping on.

We usually hang our deer in a cool place for 14 days. It gives it a great flavor.

Man! Your vision for your property...business plan is spot on. This episode was just amazing! I'm a self proclaimed semi-professional-amateur RUclips watcher, and you seriously need to post more episodes and on a consistent basis. You do such great work!

You folks do an amazing job with your videos, My girlfriend and I have been watching you since the start. Good job on doe...and turkey. Stay Blessed! PS gland in legs...tarsal gland needs to come out

❤ your journey.

Missed y'all! Glad to see the latest!

Was watching your video on building garden beds. I made 26 beds with untreated pine, and they lasted nearly ten years, and even then, only the bottoms needed replacing. Good call, and great multi family homestead. New subscriber,.

Knee pads?

I love homesteading.

Double wall pipe may last longer, but you lose most of the radiant heat available until you need to use insulated (or double-wall) to exit the home safely. With a season under your belts, were you able to keep the home warm enough, especially with the extreme cold this past few weeks?

Very cool! I would like to know if Steve, and Darcy have a channel?.. I bet Darcy goes nuts. 😁😂🤣

Great episode. I especially loved the Robert Frost reference. Keep up the great work!

It would be far easier to hall and store logs then cut them at your wood shed. Get a good pile of logs so that you will always have a supply of wood. It is also a good way to dry green fresh cut trees. A little advice from an old farm boy.

My dad and uncles would castrate pigs. Then we would freeze them until we had enough for a mountain oyster feed. I remember having my city cousins come out, then I would how they liked them. Then some of them lost their cookies 🤣. They are delicious, but very rich and you don't hear about mountain oyster feeds much anymore. I think it is awesome what your family is doing.

It's difficult listening with the music so loud. Could you lower it some during the talking? I'm enjoying your journey
