The Dana Homestead
Добавлен 11 фев 2020
Hello and welcome to our channel. We are a young couple living off grid and building a homestead. We are going to use this channel to show people how we live. We are currently renovating a old hunting cabin and slowly turning our yard into farm space.

Ah…I googled it. Diatomaceous earth powder can be used, and good old vinegar. Good to know, as I’m thinking of getting one. Doing the research now
Insects? Ok…how did you get rid of them? And what type of insects are you talking about? Thank you..
She just couldn't bring herself to say "number 2"😂😂
Gross
....she must throw down some haggard logs if she's worried about plugging the toilet....HAHAHAHHA
HAGGARD 🪵 's 😆 . . . 🤣
I would do 2 tablespoons with how dirty your clothes get.
I have made this the Zote pink has smell the white Zote doesn't seem to smell.
Whitegirls always say "we" even when we don't know who they are talking about
I am really not comfortable with sitting with my private part over a pile of decomposing fecal matter. I'm even more uncomfortable with the idea of flushing poop with so much water. So i guess composting wins
Hi, may you please make a video about your composting toilet? Like, how did you settle on a design, and how you fixed the bug problem you mentioned in the shorts? Thank you for the inspo!
Are you shitting beer can size turds to clog the toilet
😆🤣
Why are you trying to communicate with all that unnecessary background Noise....
I love your washing machine.
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
I too am looking for a fix for the insects. I have fruit flies...
Got them hearty dumps. Respect
😆
As a woman it’s difficult not to pee while pooping. How do you manage this?
A lot of compost toilets have a diverter built into the bowl that separates liquids from solids.
Haha, I guess it’s same for all humans. So, it is designed in a way that there are two outlets to toilet. The one in front is for pee and the one farther is for poop.
So can you explain what you did wrong for the insect scenario?
I can't hear u at all
I put 2 full scoops of detergent to my full washing machine of adult clothes. Your mini mini table spoon of detergent is a joke
No washing with soap?
I'm glad you mentioned your channel on tictok! I'm grateful for your candor Sikwani. I know ill be here next time and over on tictok. Take Care!
Every RUclips channel takes breaks from posting, so, don’t worry if you need a break. As for too much snow, we had none here in northern Delaware. A mixed blessing, was there really a winter? I’m not happy with a mud season instead of winter.
Curious about the piping you installed from the spring to the house...how long did it take you to set up and install your water system? Maybe you've answered this question before in an earlier video, but I haven't seen it.
nope lol
The melt this year came on dramatically that’s for sure
March 29th or March 30th
April 2nd
March 28th
I love your videos! I would love to see more of your teachings on science and nature in your segments. The one about mushroom deification was fun. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you posted this episode because watching your previous videos, I could see that you had a very long driveway and I wondered how you dealt with ice build-up AND MUD season! Chains on tractor tires works great, but what about the mud? Do you park your vehicle at the end of your drive and hike in until things dry up or do you have some other trick?
All of our vehicles can handle the mud. Also Nathan has done a tone of work on the driveway, adding gravel etc., to make it not as muddy in the spring.
@@thedanahomestead2618 Good to know, thank you.
@@thedanahomestead2618 Thank you.
What would you recommend as resources for someone who wants to get into foraging for mushrooms?
First, I would recommend going to the mycology weekend camp that I did. The Ecology School in Saco Maine is hosting it again this fall.
I would also recommend finding a person that has been foraging for a long time and become friends with them.
I loved the mushroom identifying segment. I love when the teacher in you comes out, I learn so much. I'd love to see more of that. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm so glad you mentioned how helpful it is to have Nathan living off grid with you, because I too have this dream of living off grid but I'm worried about whether or not it's a good idea for a woman to try doing so ALONE. Especially at my age (66). Your channel has been very helpful in giving me insight as to the pros and cons of living this lifestyle. Oh and excuse me for interrupting your shopping the other day, but I was so stunned and star-struck, I couldn't restrain myself!🤩
You can defiantly make off grid life as comfortable as you need, it just comes down to your own skill set and money. And no problem! Also glad to know it was you :)
How yo7 clean it after 💩
I don’t know how your drains are configured but in your place, I’d bury them in some sort of insulation. Apparently they are in an unconditioned space. Best choice is to condition the space but this may not be realistic, so “ condition “ the pipes. Could use heat tape but this would be a high energy cost solution.
Well I'm confused...how can you have plumbing problems when you have no plumbing???? I mean, I SEE the pipe you pointed out, but I figure that must just go outside no????? Help me understand!
Stinky crumbly goat cheese works great for giving meds with my dogs.
What caused the insects and how was it fixed?
Shat attracts flies.....
Normally an uncovered vent fan they should have a little screen
This reminds me so much of growing up in NH. Thanks for sharing.
This one was really good. Humor, beautiful shots and editing. Loved it, keep it up!
Sikwani, you,re so funny and educational. I love the content. Miigwech, thank you.
Awe! WoliwonI (thank you)!
Good to see this, fellow MOFGA member…
You two are so adorable. I'm glad you're happy and still doing well out on the homestead. ❤️
Thank you <3
I noticed you switched from the percolator to a French press. Was that to save time in the coffee making or does it make better coffee? Your house is sooo cozy. I love how DEEP into the woods you are, but it must make for a lot of work sanding it when it turns to ice...as it surely will after this storm we're having today! (I live in Moscow, just up the road from you.)
We use whatever we feel like in the moment. We have been using the french press recently on the weekends instead of the percolator to save on time. Even though the percolator does make better coffee it just takes too long. We need are caffeine lol
I like you.🤗
cUTE
Hello from Moscow! Sent you an email today...hope you received it!
I'm very sensitive to perfume, so I'm wondering what you would recommend to use for an UNSCENTED mix?
I believe there is an unsent white ZOTE soap. The ZOTE soap is the only thing in here that has any sent. It's not too bad, but it is noticeable.
This was such a fun video hanging out with you during your project!
Thanks for enjoying our garden beds, you do a really good job. The color of the beds suit your house best, hope you have a good harvest🤩🤩
