The Eco-Ranch Returns!!! Now From Alpena, Michigan!

- This is a re-introduction to us, now in Alpena, Michigan. I am having trouble with an editing program, so please bear with me through this video, I should have a program figured out soon!
In this, I just tell you where we are, why we sold the Texas Eco-Ranch and our plans for this great spot for outdoor activities in the north woods.
We actually should appeal to more people now than in Texas. In Texas, we were off-grid, New Homesteaders, living on acreage with little more than what we could build and raise. Here in Michigan, we are back on the grid (only because of our age, explained in the video) and are doing what you do every day where you are, but in as sustainable a method as possible. I guarantee that now there is something EVERYONE can take away from our videos!!!
As always, I will be building something, all the time. But now, it will be on a smaller scale. Eco and I will be feeding squirrels, so that we can torment them with "squirrel-proof feeders", spinners and "flingers" (just a little though, they will still eat hearty). Being smack in the Central Flyway, we will try to attract as many birds to our feeders as possible. Being on the top of "zone five" horticulturally, we will raise a "Michigan Garden" to be proud of and show you some forgotten hints that YOU can use..... with some tasty recipes as well.
Poultry ownership, sadly, is limited in our municipality, but we can have SOME and we will show YOU how to have a fun, productive, backyard flock! Because of the poultry shortage this year and ALL the stuff we MUST get done, poultry will be next year, 2024.
AND... if you like fishing, there will be some of that as well! With the new fishing boat, I will take you far into the bush of northern Ontario, to places few whites have ever seen.
More great stuff and information will come as winter dies and Spring arrives!!!
YES, I WILL BE APPROVING AND RESPONDING TO YOUR COMMENTS AS WELL!!! Just remember that children will visit here and while they MAY hear every sort on profanity on the schoolyard and their "smart-ass phones", they WILL NOT hear it here or read it. If you now have trouble writing things WITHOUT crude profanity, contact me privately and I will give you HUNDREDS of suitable synonyms you CAN use here and everywhere else.
This is going to be great glad you are still going to make videos.
Being an "on grid" home, we may very well appeal to MORE people with our work here.
Awesome to see u back. Good for u for taking care of yourself. Can't wait to see the future on your channel.
It is coming as soon as the snow melts!
Good to see you back at it, Earl!
Thanks, I hope the new stuff is interesting to people.
I am glad to see you and your great life with new property again !
watching from Japan!
MAybe someday I can return to Japan for a visit! Thanks!
Good to see your posting again. I camped at your west Texas location last year.
Glad we met!
Glad y'all are back.
Thank you!
Everything you said makes perfect sense. I'm happy to see you, and looking forward to your new stuff. Sorry about sister.
She smoked for 55 years, but still made 80. I think my point is that THAT was the thing that made me realize that I am old and that "the end" definitely WILL come. We never think in those terms when younger. But I am ten years away from 80, so this "incarnation" of us will be the "last" and the one where we do what we want. I plan on getting as much of the old ways and knowledge recorded in the rest of these videos, as well as warnings for what the unrestrained future MIGHT bring.
Glade to see that you are doing good. Keep the vedios coming.
I will continue, as long as there is interest and if I can figure out how to use these new video editing programs!
Glad to see you back 🎉 good luck
About to start the real fun with building a garage/workshop/great room!
Hey, Robert! Good to see you again, and I wish you and Debbie well in northern Michigan. I just returned to Bastrop after a couple of weeks in West Texas. Will be back there soon, however. I look forward to following your new posts.
Bruce
We felt that there is still a lot we can show through videos, so I will continue for a while anyway.
We are both through with west Texas though. The dust is the biggest problem and we could never go back to that!
Glad to see you back.
Thank you!
Good to see you
Thank you!
So awesome you are back,no matter what you put up it will be great.
So much commonsense people need nowadays! I will do my best!
Be ever so careful both of you not to slip. Bones break easily as we age & healing is a bitch. Cheers
We are careful. Thank you!
Wow I hope you all be ok up there 😮 brrr I am from Michigan Brighton
We grew up in the Detroit area. I worked two years on the pipeline from the NWT. A real Winter does not bother us.
Glad to see you Earl,,,,,, but the vid sound was awful ......didn't hear much of what you had to say,, but happy your back and doing great.....and happy about your dogs as well....
New camera. I did not know how it recorded video. Now I do and will make adjustments.
Can't wait! Good to hear from you.
Thank you!
Robert Earl! Good to see you amigo!
Thank you! I hope I can be interesting again!
My grandparents were from Alpena and Rodgers City, MI. I recently found Alpena newspaper clipping from the 1950's. My husband and I run a 100-acre farm in SE Ohio and are in our 60's. We got old, too. My aunt is selling her home in Alpena this year. Is this a sign?
We never see ourselves aging. A sign is needed to show us. My sister smoked for 55 years and earned her demise. Still, it was a sign or wakeup call that "if not now... when?"
I am so happy to see you❤
Thank you! I hope we can be as informative as before!
woah!
welcome Back
Happy to be back and to be free of the old ranch!
Great to see you! Is this the northern eco-ranch now?
Well, it is, even though it is not a ranch any longer, just two acres of filled Michigan swampland....... but we WILL make it something VERY cool!!
Soooooooo...why did you leave us here in Texas?
Road was deteriorating and law enforcement allowed others to block it if they wanted....... no water......... too much dust, especially IN lungs....... 65 miles to hospital and doctors...... tourist prices year around....... REAL shopping over 200 miles away....... do you really need more???
Hello
AGAIN!
Only 23 hrs and 55 min from Central Texas. Just a weekend away! Welcome back to the civilized world! I bet you even have high speed internet and an auto repair shop close by. To say nothing of a local Home Depot. McDonalds has free coffee for Seniors in most places. The perks just keep piling up!
I have not been seeing many, if any, "senior perks". Seems like they dried up as came to that age! But we needed to be closer to things at this point in life.
Hi, did you use to be in south Florida? Smiling dogs?
That was our first rural home.
I thought I recognized you, my grandmother owned tiny town kennel. Sandy
I think I saw you on another show, you had a whole wall of glass bottles for heat? It was syears ago so I may be mistaken.
That's awesome. It's been 25 years or so. Glad to see you doing well
