WTF HAPPENED TO THE OFF THE GRID CRAP. HAS THE TRUTH BEEN GETTING TO YOU?
Again...I like the hot thumbnails. And the rest...:)
Love the click bait! Ignore them, P L E A S E!
@@031568dennis Why is it so important to you? What is it in your character that seeks so manically to harm a stranger? Perhaps your pleas would be better served to a doctor...
One thing I've gleaned from the videos is that it's a lot of hard work.
Dude look after your back, this dream will soon be over if you start to have problems, work smarter not harder👍👍
exactly what i was thinking... dude is like punishing himself on purpose lol...
Yes, smarter not harder, much easier to roll the log in upright postion then be lifting it into hole on the floor.
Or us animals help move the logs
Love You guys. Pay no attention to the haters. Jake, you lied ( just a little one) about that water. It was cold. I could tell by the way you reacted. So proud of what you have done and I have no skin in the game.
Happy to see another couple who high five each other when they finish something XD
ehh bet their not even a couple and if they are their swingers
Very practical loft. You two are learning and sharing with us. thank you both for the entertainment....
I really dig this stuff. Though, I speak from experience when I say I would highly recommend a lap joint at those beam and post connections. As it is, your vertical load is bearing only on what little sheer strength that all-thread might have, not to mention the fact that you've joined two convex surfaces which will only expose that all-thread to even further torsion stress. That is a fatal failure just waiting to happen. You had the right idea by adding that additional support under the forward beam, but that too needs to be inset into the post if it's to provide any axial support to the vertical load at all. Otherwise, again, you're relying solely on the sheer strength of that all-thread. This applies to your ladder as well. Perhaps even more so, as screws have hardly any sheer strength at all, and you're going to be putting quit a bit of torsion stress on those rungs as you pop up and down that ladder how many ever times a day. Just my two cents... I'd hate to see that thing collapse on you, and while it certainly would have been easier to do before hand, it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to retrofit what you've got so far with a properly supported joint. Cheers!

It really says a lot when after 2 years the OP doesn’t even bother to publicly acknowledge or thank you for your engineering input to keep them safe. Maybe he contacted you privately.
@@chuckpease7700 Why would he give a shit about unsolicited advice in the comments section of a shitty fake video?
This guy is a fraud and anyone with half a brain knows it.
Aaaand CUT! “Now roll in the company with the backhoes we hired, hunny!” 😆😂😅😆😂 I’d bet my last penny on that shit LOLOL
Thank you so much for using our music at the end! Great video
Amarante Music Your music always makes our videos better! Thank you 🙏🏼
Can i use your music too ?
Hi Matthew Thank you for coming and helping Goodman
It's funny seeing some of the things you guys have to figure out. lol Very entertaining. Knowing that you two are not professional contract workers, somewhat give normal people a feeling that they can do it themselves.
That lil lady is mighty strong. The power was impressive,
Missing you here in Phoenix jake, but I am wishing you best luck and great life in Canada. Always love your videos. Take care buddy
Mr mace your forms of kung fu and tai chi have changed my life. Thank you
I'm glad that's your back and not mine!
The ocean was so calm and the sunset so beautiful....thanks!
"Have I entertained you ?? "
...big yup on that..LMAO !..sucks when the pole is to big for the hole..lol
What you really meant is the video never lives up to the thumbnail. Stop using your girl and just show us how you live. We will respect you more.
Я чуть инфаркт не получил! Вдвоем такие дела делаете.. Какие Вы молодцы! Много здоровья Вам. Видео очень интересные, Вы вдохновляете на хорошие дела.
Man this is the type of living I want to live. No city life, I wish I am able to do it like you guys. Love the blue color in your yurt.
Which me
You'll love it until it's not convenient anymore
Thumbnails pull em in! No disrespect to your lady. Got to do what you cna to draw attention! Awesome idea! Love the channel. My wife and I are planning to build our yurt ourselves too. Hell of an inspiration!
This is really great guys. I am curious as to approximately how much money you've needed for this venture so far ?
Inspiring teamwork and harmonious union between the masculine and feminine. Bravo.
Pro tip: when carrying long and heavy items like the log make sure you’re both on the same side of the log 😉
I am so totally obsessed I mean obsessed with your RUclips videos!! I don’t know how I found you guys but I can’t get enough!!! I am so proud of all you guys have done so far. I love your q and a videos and when you two just sit and talk.
might i suggest the thumbnail be an actual part of the video? thanks: everyone
Word bro ✌️
Clickbait. No one is here for the roughing it out. Everyone wants to see the hottie.
Dat ass doe
I humbly and respectfully agree. Before y'all go into "stop disrespectful comments of this woman" she knows and agrees that she has a figure and character that draws viewers in, so stop people. She's respected and appreciated at the same time.
Agreed
Hi thanks for your lovely videos, I especially love your choice of music I find it very fitting for your videos and relaxing best wishes Ken from UK
I can only wish I was younger to do what you do.
Good to know you are doing what you do.
I'm sure you're talking about fornicating his wife. (y)
WHAT, YOU WISH YOU WERE YOUNGER SO YOU COULD BUILD A PHONEY CHANNEL, PRODUCED LIKE A STAGED REALITY SHOW WHERE YOU FAKE BEAR ATTACKS, PLAY AT GLAMPING AND ARE NOT REALLY OFF THE GRID AT ALL, AND PIMP OUT A WOMAN FOR CLICKS AND THEN ,ON TOP OF IT ALL, ENDLESSLY BEG FOR MONEY?
hi ma'am/sir shout out from philippines🇵🇭 i am your #1 viewer sir/ma'am
Lol I wonder how many times Jake has said "I'm 6'1 barefoot and 6'2 in these shoes" since I've been watching for about 4 or 5 years
A few dozen at least.
Yes, but you are paying his way by watching,
@@franksavignano942 good, more people should live like them
Wow, I have never seen someone in need of a winch more than this guy.
21:30 She made my morning, thank you!
Just realized that majority of the thumbnails for this channel is the girl in sensuality. Which most men love to see ?
Wow I wish I could live there,what a beautiful place
A beautiful life and a wonderful couple who live far away from people and my question to them are you really happy about that?
You guys are incredibly hard workers. And.. I saw that movie with the drill.. LOL... Body Double. 1984.
You need a pickaroon or a timber tuff, buddy. These are the perfect tools for moving logs. Your lower back will thank you.
That is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a LONG while...the Yurt is nice too! 😉
Respect the work ethic!
Hey Jake I have question about gardening. How to get rid of mealybug. They kill my all tomato plants always and some times eggplants too.I don’t want to use chemical pesticides. Thank you
Good question.
Hello Jake, I could not find email to send this. Just a thought, maybe it time to invest a snatch block system or as I know it as a block and tackle, for lifting heavy items....logs. I watched Ep 60 on your other channel with the ridge pole lifting. You need a lifting device with pulleys or 12v Winch or the manual winch off a boat trailer. You could attach a cable or rope on one side of opening area and then the other and have a running pulley with lift system attached. I know you like going to LOG Gym, but one day one will fall wrong, I do not need to explain, you know what I mean.
a snatch block is the pulley that can be placed onto the line anywhere ... and then secured ... a block and tackle assembly has to have the rope threaded through it ... combined they are all still block and tackle ... but you are right 4 snatch blocks and 2 or 3 double pulleys ... and rope and he could lift anything up as high as he has rope .... such as he could have built the yurt roof on the ground and then block and tackled the completed roof onto the yurt with 400m of rope and 6 or 8 pulley's to let him lift it alone ... yes that would give him somewhere between 6 and 10 to 1 mechanical advantage
Best tool name ever (snatch block)
Thank YOU! You guys are REAL! All of this adventure has given me so much inspiration, As a child aged 10, or 11 years or so, i used to go into the woods and hunt, fish, shoot, and forage myself with my best friend.. As for the "nail" contest? with Nicole with the nails in mouth? lol, you BOTH Won! :) you are both winners as i can see. I shouted out to the screen to throw down pallets when you found yourself short when dealing with the main outer canopy, (Perilous step ladder shortage). the one that is bendy, and heavy due to it being just that. Then you went and got pallets and did just the job that i was shouting out LMAO! I want to massively THANK You Both! for providing us all with your adventure into the "Unknown" and i commend you both hugely. I'm glad you both chose the 30 footer though :) I look forward to future vids from here on out :) Jake/Nicole? Massive respect. Many Regards, and Good luck! Next project? Dig Underground, basement, bugout? Tunnels? :P
👍👍👍
Wow, I'm going to love these videos. Beautiful place, really cool ideas. My initial impressions are that you need a third, and maybe fourth, dog. If you think about it. You can adjust to view 2 attackers simultaneously. Not so with 3 or 4 (animals know this). I'd get a pit bull, or 2, to add to the pack. I'm not a fan of pit bulls, but they're just the ticket for garden and home protection, and probably eat less than heavier dogs. From what they say about wolverines, I don't think they would back down from a fight with 2 blue healers. Dominant brown boar, same story. Just my guess. James Gary Shelton wrote the best book on brown bears that I have read, and he's from just about right where you are. Critical info there. His first book has most of the critical information in it.
In a book I read about adventuring through Africa, the guy asked their native guides if they drink a lot of water, and they responded that they drink a lot in the mornings. I had to presume that this is because, he who goes to the bushes to pee after dark, too many times, does not live to a ripe old age. Cougars are bigger than leopards, so you should understand that you have the same problem. You can say you're more concerned about mosquitoes, but you'd better be concerned about the cougars.
Good warm dog houses, so they can be out there on the front lines, all the time. They will create a territory that other predators will avoid as long as they are there. If you go some place and take dogs, you would want to take 2, and leave 2. Leaving one, could lead to a dead dog and a raided garden.
Your stove vent goes directly outside. I stayed in a cabin once with a loft that had ample headroom, really tall cabin. They ran the stove vent at an angle, so that it traversed across the cabin and turned and went out the top. A lot of feet of pipe, and the tiniest little, itty bitty fire, kept the cabin real warm until morning. Big cabin too, I think it was a 2 bedroom plus loft. We slept in the loft. Super warm up there, with the tiniest fire I've ever seen. It was a very small stove, so maybe it doesn't matter with the greater stove mass. Still, more heating = less chopping. Good luck.

I just found you guys and I'm loving every minute. I've got a lot of catching up to do but It's been fun so far. Really jealous of what you are doing. I'm 67 and married. I'm overweight and want to get healthy because i don't think life ends at this age and I want to get healthier so I can enjoy more of what life has in store.
Me and her living in the woods like that, we'd have about 12 kids by now.
she look like shit .
@@tutunci, it must be really bad for you to post something ugly here. These wonderful young people seem to make you jealous. Shame on you!
@@h.v.b.113 beautifull people that trick u with sexy click bait and living with your support. get a job
you are excellent builders- engineers and architects...
How to live off grid: Pimp your girlfriend for clickbait views and set RUclips ads to max
Those veggies don't pay for themselves..................
An ATV with tracks on it and winch mount should make your life a lot easier..and a trailer too...Canada makes the best ATV's Can Am..But life should be hard then you don't have to go to the gym...
You know pulling log between your legs is going to end badly..
MUCH LOVE FROM ALASKA !
I miss the longevity garden 😢
Same. Once he moved out and stopped doing food forest vids... I unsubbed. Sadly.
I don't care what people say or think..you guys work together great as a team.and THOSE complaining about the click bait..smh. Nicole is Stunning.and it's how they choose together to post things.if it disturbs some of you then them are your issues
Are you still vegan? I'm just wondering because I remember a video you make a while back where you said you might be changing your diet. Just curious!
gotta have the correct tools. Sawzall, you dont have to mix quick crete. just put in the hole add water or the moisture from the ground will set them. basic fence building. good job for a do it your self-er.
This constructive criticism,this is the first time I’ve ever negatively commented on a RUclips video ,I’ve been watching your channel for months ,Jake ,please drop the He Man Deal ,throwing logs and such ,if you want to watch a real bad azz watch Shawn James ,You will learn how to be a soft spoken bad azz !!!
greg schultz these 2 do not take well to constructive criticism. I have tried to tell them to skin the bark off the trees they used on the OUT SIDE with no response. Now I keep seeing HE MAN starting the chain saw with the chain BREAK engaged. Pretty much loosing interest with this CLICK BAIT channel. Hope the sponsors are happy.
Mike Rogers ,Thank You, I’m Not The Only One With These Views !!!
greg schultz they are clueless. Someone is trying to coach them, but not doing a very good job.
You're amazing! Please come back to youtube!
Thank you for your videos, a strong greeting from Spain I am in my project to start my Yurt and I am receiving very good ideas from everything you are doing.
I'm also going to start with a diaphanous yurt, and I'll add the other supplements, how are you doing, I'm going to save a lot of money.
My most sincere thanks for sharing your experience.
And sorry for my English is not very good.
Shout out to Matthew Lee ... sooooo nice to see someone helping Jake other than Nicole.. although she is a tough act to follow 😉💜💜💜
I tried to find matthew lee. Site on you tube do u happen to know?
Ty
Click bait pictures are lame. Ur contents good enough without it.
As a female viewer I agree. I keep thinking I accidentally subbed to someone else accidentally until a remember he's got a gorgeous girl lol
@@forever_seeking gorgeous?
@@hermosacalif3692yeah. It's a compliment. She's very pretty, and he knows it which is why he uses her to attract viewers.
Actually she's the one that posts them. This has been covered many times. Oh and I sure ain't mad about it!!!
Nathan Hollis Eh seems kinda cheap and like something you’d expect from a 20 year old doing “female solo van life “ lol
that heart-shaped 🤐 Bro you're lucky to be stranded with that Kudos my friend
💞💞💞
Hard work is good for every body !
Who else watched this video for the sexy thumbnail that don’t exist in this video?
lmaoo sad fools..
I hear you buddy.When I see the tools and vehicles It doesn't put me in the donation mood...and yes, the thumbnails m use be in their personal stash.
OI see they are using "on the grid" plywood
@@alexmatwick2737 what do YOU expect off-grid to mean in 2020?
Eating roots and wiping with leaves?
Dumb fuck
Haha that was smart to get views.
New friend from the philippines i like this video
Safe to say, you guys have figured out how to draw the viewers in, it's kind of like cheating lol!
Kevin Brad right!! I searched the whole video looking for ass!
He's good at that. Ask his wife. Primary reason for leaving the states.
yup...just look to Nic's private channel...$50/mo.
Nothing like using your significant other for clickbait.
I wish I could live like you guys in the beautiful jungles....from India
anyone with a brain would put the logs off the ground.before stripping them. this guy isn't the brightest candle on the cake.
Can't WAIT to see your "Outdoor Kitchen" !!!!!
Right!!! Me too!!!
Thumbs down for the clickbait picture. You lost a subscriber.
This is youtube not a porn site,
@@dwade2026 Then why the click bait .. dick gate...And by the way learn how to spell your name, Dip switch
Jelly Darren Wade because you don't have a women that looks that good are should I say a man lol
IDEAL COUPLE GREAT JOB, INSPIRATION TO ALL
these click bait pictures man!! haha i like your content man keep it up
I would be so pissed, if my lover put that picture up. Shit.
She is the one that selects and posts them. This has been discussed many times. Everybody comments and tries to beat poor Jake up about it. Its proven to work... Look at all the views and comments it gets.
#TheyreWinning
Winning by needlessly sexualizing his girl for views? Not sure id call that winning.
Nathan Hollis and who cares anyway right?...Never saw so many people get their panties in a bunch over a girl in a pair of panties. Big deal. It’s not like you can’t see similar at any beach, or volleyball match, or yoga class, or swimming pool, or just walking down the street.
Methodtraining
In those public places you're not in front of millions of viewers, timelessly captured for the enduring life of the interwebs. Just saying. Also not judging
Both amazing and hard working ..
Episode 103: "Still no Stairs"
still none after this either ... but they do have a crafted ladder lol
Wow, easy! Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger smokes nervously!))
Jumps into the water: "I've never heard of anyone talk about sharks".......that is because the shark ate them bro. Just sayin'.
Hi Guys...
I really admire what you both doing and in fan of your project. I just love it. Beautifully managed and made. Keep Going
Started following you a long time ago and I really appreciate all of the great videos and info you’ve provided over the years but I’m unsubbing now just tired of the click bate thumbnails of Nicole half naked yes she’s beautiful but I’m not watching your channel to see her provocative pictures in your thumbnails.
Amazing work I’m loving this journey.
*notices this channel survives on clickbait views
*clicks on “Do not recommend channel”
To feed your fire, use that Foot Pump you used to pump up your boat. Great Videos. TY
please don’t take this the wrong way because i love your guys’ videos but i feel like the thumbnails that you guys pick are... obviously fishing for views? i love that ya’ll treat your bodies like temples and want to “advertise” that, for lack of a better word, but i think its kinda shitty that you’d make the decision to have nicole be in her underwear facing away from the camera for a video about building a loft - it’s just a consistent pattern that i’ve noticed since you’ve started posting your yurt series and it just seems... disconnected from your message. thank you for your time readin’ this, i know its not a necessary thing to say but i’ve been thinking about it for a while and thought i would say something instead of getting pissy and unsubscribing! i hope you find good health and happiness and abundance in your near future
WHY DOES THAT SURPRISE YOU . . .ALL THEY DO IS BEG FOR MONEY.
Jake is going to find you and Kung Fu you now! Why did you say anything!? We're all supposed to pretend not to notice!
It takes thousands of dollars to support 3 vehicles, 2 boats, 1 yurt, 2 woodstoves, ferry fees, gas, oil, chain saws, chains, tools, solar, gloves etc fencing, roofing, travel, food/vegan, cost of fruit/vegi, 2 dogs, 2 cats, clothes/boots for summer/winter. Did he buy or lease the land? Cost to repair the water well. Water tanks. Probably has electric hooked up. Cost of computers, cameras, phones, internet! What did I forget?? Viewers are supporting them. How long will it last??
Hermosa Calif I’m happy to celebrate their success as long as it’s genuine and they’re not blatantly ignoring the fact that the majority of their viewers are not here for their off grid life style and instead are staring at their physical forms. perhaps they should focus less on being “sexy” and moreso focus on their safety as many folks have been happy to point out :+)
Always wanted to do this but to old, enjoying the films you two. Be safe
i am a simple man
football goal in the house!!! Yes...
NO GYM NEEDED for workouts.
Man I like your story... In the jungle.. Hope your enjoy..
Nice way of living when your young but after all that lifting you will end up in a wheelchair when your 45 ish. + to much posing Nicole
Great view and good mix
you are going to hurt your back doing lifting like that, man
The dude gets it done, but he could do things faster and much safer if he used his head and jerry-rigged up some tools and lifting aids. Or a simple thing like walking the
pole ( spinning the pole easy-like, a half turn clockwise, another counter-clockwise) to the hole...see 12:25. Rent or buy some used scaffolding and hang a block and tackle.
A little more time consuming and an added expense, but with a dwelling like that it will be needing repairs and maintenance regularly, making the scaffolding pay for
itself in short order, and will keep you from attempting to do things that not even the Flying Wallendas would try.
atmm89 People have been telling me that since I was 18 years old. Keep on saying that and I’ll keep on getting it done ✅
@@VeganAthlete yes you are but its your back and all the best to you is all I can say, good luck mate and keep the video rolling

You too KAREN..............
The thumbnails are actually very well taken pictures not just "clickbait" as I've read and seen that comment a couple of times.
Stop posting click-bites, so bad
click bait, as in you took the bait to click it. I dont think you even know what you're saying.

The only suggestion so far (& I’m only 9:28 into the vid) is to have the stronger person in the rear carrying the log into the yurt... The bulk of the weight will normally be on the individual in the rear.
If you had carried the rear, you would’ve simply lifted your end up in the air so that it wouldn’t hurt her back going inside. ✌🏾
Man, I Really like your videos but just letting the woman you love pose in tight pants/leggings and no T-shirt just for some extra views... that just so disrespectful to the both of you 🤦🏻♀️
You all are the best
Damn, its been three months since Jake posted anything on either of his channels. Something not good may have happened to him. Hope not.
My 66 yr old back would be killing me after one log being stripped! Your a young man! Good on ya!
I just unsubscribed because of that clickbait picture 😑
No one gives a shit
His girl is not worthy of a thumbnail lol
Nasty mind dear😮@@bmanferlife
Nice loft 👍👌... and impressive strength on your log-menship 🏋🏼♂️ 💪🏻
That’s not smart way to do the things like that and you will hurt your back.
Facy, how would you do it? Hire some contractors?
I just LOVE the skills you have and you make your videos so educational. You have an abundance of trees and SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!!! Can't wait to see the many projects you create. I can just picture your property turning into a little "town"..
