Awesome! Just found you guys today. I'm shopping for Az land right now. First things to do after purchase is water plan and fencing! Happy to follow you guys, hopefully I am not that far behind y'all 😊
Thank you so much, we appreciate all the support! it makes me so happy to see other people doing the same. Wish we had documented the process of buying the land. It's a lot easier than people think. We're excited for you. Can't wait to hear about your journey, too!
That's awesome, it'll be a while to tame but we'll do our best haha. It was loads of fun! we learned a lot and had a great time doing it. Thank you for the support!
I grew up on a ranch raising cattle. I used to have a lot of scars on my forearms from barbed wire cuts. Don't worry the scars go away after 7 to 10 years LOL we always wrapped The wire a couple of times around the corner post and then twisted it on itself at least three times. That way it didn't come off when you went to tighten it. With just a couple of Staples holding it on it can come off when you stretch it or when the post gets older the Staples can pop out. Really wanting to check out the review for your fence post driver. I had a big heavy tube as a kid to help me smack the post in with.
Most of the scars are on our left arm but we're both right handed, weird lol we tried wrapping the post but we didn't like the look but I guess this will be a lesson learned in the future. Hope it holds up long term. Thanks for the tip, though. We'll review the post driver soon!
You are absolutely correct. A lot of the fence we built was done with help from the NRCS and had to be done to government spec and inspected. They have very specific guidelines down to how many wraps around the post and wire, even on the splices.
3:40 Awesome Content! 🎉 How many posts was that? Do you guys have an Amazon Wishlist? So that us viewers can help out on your Homestead by purchasing the items that you put on your list. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Hey, thanks for the support! It was about 125 T-Posts for the whole perimeter, not including the wood beams for the H-Brace. Currently we dont have a wishlist but we can definitely start one. It's an honor to hear that people want to help out the homestead with their hard earned money! Thank you so much!
I built fence for for 25 years for a living and you're one of the few who had enough sense to clean UP your fence line before you even started ! For a 5wire Bwire fence , there is a standard 9 inch spacing between the 5 wires . The distance from the top wire to the bottom is 3 feet , 4 x 9 =36 inches !
Thanks! there was no way we could fence without havbing cleared the fence line, where were nasty bushes and thorny bushes all around. it would have been nearly impossible. and i had no idea about the spacing, we just did 12 inches 😬
We've had to fence and cross fence every place we've had, the last one was 211 acres so this video is giving me PTSD 😊. Good job guys 💪👏 Just a little tip, always start with the top wire so you don't have to go past the wires as you pull the rest of the wires.
No way, 211 acres!? I'd have PTSD watching this too haha that's a ton to fence in! You know what, though, that's a great tip, and wish I had thought of it sooner. Would have saved some time. Thanks for the support 🙏
I'm 74 years old, considering buying some land in Az. for RV camping with the family. You guys are an inspiration. If you can do it so, can I. I wish you the very best!!
You can do it sir! be free! just stay safe and do your homework first so there are no suprises. Those can be life changing. But this adventure can be peaceful. but not without its challenges.
you and your girl are awesome...... it's tuff out there... i just came back yesterday from phoenix from searching for gold.... not easy, bring your chinois, you will need them
NIce fence! My wife and I are doing much the same thing in north eastern Arizona. Wish my place wasn't so rocky and I could do put in a fence too. I see the MarPat and bloused boots and wonder.😆
Thank you, sir! Best of luck putting in your fence. It's a lot of work and takes a long time due to the rocky soil. It may not look like it in the video, but ours is more rock than soil haha and while we're at it, we might as well do it in style 😉
Hi there everyone!!!🖐 Has anyone heard of a area in Arizona called Concho lakeland?? We purchsed 2.5 acres there last October. we're in pennslyvania, And we are only brining our belongings, Nothing else!, except skills and a positvie attitude for a peacful begining.
We've heard on Concho, and from the images online, its a beautiful place! Yes, a possitive attitude is a must, there will be days where you dont want to do it but remaining positive will get you through. We wish you look on your journey, we're excited for you!! 🥳
Beautiful piece of property. I live in Santa Cruz county in the mountains on 6 acres. Built a home in 2022 with a well. Love it here. What county are you guys in ??? My husband 60 years old, did the fence himself with little help from me. It’s hard work but really rewarding just with the money saved not hiring someone else to do it 👍🏻
Lots of people living in RVs in rural buckeye west of buckeye living in the middle of nowhere That’s where they park their rvs or cars in areas like you guys are fencing in
Love seeing couples work together ❤ Excellent looking fence! Thank you for listing all your products! I’ve been needing a tool belt and driver! I do have a question. Where did you get your trailer with solar? Or did you build it? I need one for AZ for when I build my fence on my land too.
Thanks for sharing! I am taking notes lol. The trailer with kitchen and solar is good thinking! I am going to need similar tool bet and tools. Good ideal with the fencing! I will be looking for some property to off grid farm and homestead. I have already started practicing in my backyard and posting videos. Liked and subscribed! Small details matter to those who are inexperienced.
Thank you so much for the support we are greatful! Yes we like to think of it as a comunity of people the show the things we know so we can help other ovoid mistakes and overspending. God bless you on your journey!
Hello. Y'all. Just saw you on You Tube. Nice work. Congratulations on your journey. Question? How do you know where your land border is? Please, teach me and my Hubby! Pleeze😂.
Hey, thanks! Appreciate the support. Usually before you buy or after, you can get a survey done to have all your corners marked out for you. Also, in your counties Assessors page there are coordinates that you can plot as well!! Hope that helps!
Sure does. Gifting yall'! Strong strong you two and give it all you got! Love life Now. Maybe we will meet. Just bought 40 acres in Yucca, AZ. We will stay in touch y'all! The Davis'
That's Awesome, thats tons of land. It's going to cost a lot to fence all that in and its tuns of work! But still happy for you!! God willing, it'll all go well.
Thank you! We have a third video out, of our completion of the fence. If you want to check it out. And we're in the northwest of Phoenix near Wickenburg.
We were looking for one online and they were very expensive. We got to looking on facebook marketplace and found that one for half the price of a new one.
@@MiguelNMichellesRanch thank you . I wish you the best for all your projects. Planning similar project in the south of Morocco similar landscape (last rain was in 2015).
Some neighbors say there are delinquents out here that like to drive through peoples properties and tare up their properties, they also like to set peoples stuff on fire for no reason. The fence is just a deterent really.
It's going to be a few thoughsands. Add another grand on top if you want to buy some power tools to make the job easier on the body and faster. Add a couple more Grand if you want to pay someone to do it for you. All in id say about 5 to 6K. We did it ourselves so it only cost us around 3 Grand unofficially.
No water was the first mistake. There are places in Aridzona with plenty of water. One day we will see videos of this off grid homesteading done right. #1 is is always going to be a water source, of at least five gallons a minute. I hope they can drill a well there.. I would have done it first,
It's “Tought” It means tight or tense, not relaxed or slack. It's especially used when talking about a rope or piece of fabric. It's just a preference, I guess lol
Fence looks great, but your wire is running on the outside not the inside of your paddock. Any live stock can push your lines off your posts and the staples out also. If they run inside the paddocks much more difficult for this to occur. Larger live stock of course are the biggest culprits for this.
Thank you! Yes, you are right about the wire being on the outside. it was ment to keep out the trespassers. If we ever have animals large enough, we'll make them a separate enclosure the right way! Thanks for pointing that out though!
Land in the middle of nowhere you say, and yet you have to fence it in to protect it from what? I would think there would be more important things to do such as maybe drill well or a foundation of some kind or building a shed or garage, etc. I hope you’re paying in the Social Security so you have some kind of income in 20 some years.
We're got better than social security. The fence is just a deterent for when we are building the cabin. People who aren't necessarily living up here will snoop and steal and anything they can't steal, set on fire for no reason. Yes we could have started somewhere else but we felt that by talking to people around here, this was the priority.
Bad thing I have heard about AZ is the biker gangs and gangs. They only prey on the weak so you will be fine my brother and God always protects his people as well...
Fences in remote areas are a waste of money, they dont stop anyone. When fence was cheap it might have been worth it but the cost is outrageous, just get insurance and let tgem take things
We built it mostly because people were driving through the property and were turning it into a quad trail. We would rather not have people making tracks and camping on the property.
Just 'Post' it. I have had hundreds of acres over the years and posted them to advise that this is Private Property, but that you may pass through, but 'Take Nothing and Leave Nothing and Do Not Disturb Anything'. Currently on my river front property, I allow the public access. I even made a path with steps and hand rails so children and the less physically capable can access the river and swim and fish or just enjoy the river. I also cleared an area and put in a picnic table so a family can have a picnic. I have posted rules. 'No Smoking' _ 'No Loud Music/Swearing'_ 'No Camping' _ 'No Fires or Barbecues' _ 'No Firearms or shooting/Hunting'(we have waterfowl and deer). _ 'Pack it Out' _ Hours are 6:am _ 10:pm' _ 'Leave No Trash'. So far it has worked well and people have even asked if we need any help and not just on the access, but everything from mowing our lawn to oil changing our vehicles and some have left a bottle of wine and a Six-pack of Micro brews. The only issues we have had is with smokers. We advise them that the privilege of access is dependent on following the rules and to put their cigarette into the receptacle provided on the signed post. This has never created an issue and compliance is immediate and usually with an apology. Generally other visitors advise others of the rules. I grew up in farm and ranch country where the public is restricted from enjoying the adventure of a hike through God's good earth because somebody owns a a few acres to thousands and often block access o Public Lands.
That is very generous of you, but some people out here will literally set your stuff on fire just because they can. We would love it if we could leave it open. Luckily we dont have any trails that go through our property.

I grew up in Az. I am going to enjoy watching you tame the Az. desert. Putting up fence is soooo much fun. 🤪 Great job!

You are absolutely correct. A lot of the fence we built was done with help from the NRCS and had to be done to government spec and inspected. They have very specific guidelines down to how many wraps around the post and wire, even on the splices.

it's called the Sportsman Earthquake post driver. It works wonderfully. Couldn't have done it without it.

Some neighbors say there are delinquents out here that like to drive through peoples properties and tare up their properties, they also like to set peoples stuff on fire for no reason. The fence is just a deterent really.
about how much did the supplies cost to do 5 acres? I just purchased land in Az also just trying to get some price ideas
It's going to be a few thoughsands. Add another grand on top if you want to buy some power tools to make the job easier on the body and faster. Add a couple more Grand if you want to pay someone to do it for you. All in id say about 5 to 6K. We did it ourselves so it only cost us around 3 Grand unofficially.

Is this westerns Az? I have some land out there as well if so. What county is this?
This is still Maricopa county, just Nothwest of route 60 near Wickenburg

We don't mind hauling for the start and eventually save for the well.
Why do you say taught instead of tight? Is that fencing lingo.
It's “Tought” It means tight or tense, not relaxed or slack. It's especially used when talking about a rope or piece of fabric. It's just a preference, I guess lol
@@MiguelNMichellesRanchOk ok, I just learned something. 👍🏼
@@MiguelNMichellesRanchnot to be mean, but it’s spelled, “taut.” Sorry, I’m a retired English teacher. It’s pronounced “tought” if that helps.

There are 12 inches between each row of barbed wire.

I've freed many birds from barbed wire.
Fence looks great, but your wire is running on the outside not the inside of your paddock. Any live stock can push your lines off your posts and the staples out also. If they run inside the paddocks much more difficult for this to occur. Larger live stock of course are the biggest culprits for this.
Thank you! Yes, you are right about the wire being on the outside. it was ment to keep out the trespassers. If we ever have animals large enough, we'll make them a separate enclosure the right way! Thanks for pointing that out though!
Land in the middle of nowhere you say, and yet you have to fence it in to protect it from what? I would think there would be more important things to do such as maybe drill well or a foundation of some kind or building a shed or garage, etc. I hope you’re paying in the Social Security so you have some kind of income in 20 some years.
We're got better than social security. The fence is just a deterent for when we are building the cabin. People who aren't necessarily living up here will snoop and steal and anything they can't steal, set on fire for no reason.

@@MiguelNMichellesRanch so true ♥️
Fences in remote areas are a waste of money, they dont stop anyone. When fence was cheap it might have been worth it but the cost is outrageous, just get insurance and let tgem take things
We built it mostly because people were driving through the property and were turning it into a quad trail. We would rather not have people making tracks and camping on the property.
volume too low
Yeah, we're still working on getting the volume right. Thanks for letting us know. Come back again and see our progress. Consider subscribing!
Great video and I subscribed. Quick question. Did you put the posted EXACT on your property line or how many feet from your property time? Thanks.
Thank you for subscribing! We really appreciate it 🙏🏽 we put the front about 8 feet from the property line and about 4 inches from our neighbors.
Just 'Post' it.
I have had hundreds of acres over the years and posted them to advise that this is Private Property, but that you may pass through, but 'Take Nothing and Leave Nothing and Do Not Disturb Anything'.
Currently on my river front property, I allow the public access. I even made a path with steps and hand rails so children and the less physically capable can access the river and swim and fish or just enjoy the river. I also cleared an area and put in a picnic table so a family can have a picnic.
I have posted rules. 'No Smoking' _ 'No Loud Music/Swearing'_ 'No Camping' _ 'No Fires or Barbecues' _ 'No Firearms or shooting/Hunting'(we have waterfowl and deer). _ 'Pack it Out' _ Hours are 6:am _ 10:pm' _ 'Leave No Trash'. So far it has worked well and people have even asked if we need any help and not just on the access, but everything from mowing our lawn to oil changing our vehicles and some have left a bottle of wine and a Six-pack of Micro brews.
The only issues we have had is with smokers. We advise them that the privilege of access is dependent on following the rules and to put their cigarette into the receptacle provided on the signed post. This has never created an issue and compliance is immediate and usually with an apology. Generally other visitors advise others of the rules.
I grew up in farm and ranch country where the public is restricted from enjoying the adventure of a hike through God's good earth because somebody owns a a few acres to thousands and often block access o Public Lands.
That is very generous of you, but some people out here will literally set your stuff on fire just because they can. We would love it if we could leave it open. Luckily we dont have any trails that go through our property.
Why? In the middle of nowhere.
