    My name is Dave and I travel with my dog Bella in a 1987 Class A Motorhome. My channel is about full time RV Living in an older RV while keeping the wheels rolling on a budget. I do the repairs, updates and upgrades myself. I’ve become my own RV Mechanic/Medic! I seek boondocking opportunities every chance I can and power the RV with 500 watts of solar and approximately 500 amp hours of batteries. RV Resorts are just not our style!

    I like the 2nd one. My step dad still lives on his farm, by himself at 89. Much harder life and physical labor when they were homesteading and farming. I've tried talking him into moving to town, he says he can't live in a box apartment...lol.

    You could maybe make your own trail or Dave, my Dad used to make his, he’d get and axle from the junk yard and proceed from there. You have a good welder I seem to remember, he picked up some angle iron and they always worked well. The last one he made……we’d borrowed and it was parked in our yard , woke up one day to find it gone🫣😳. Reported to RCMP but they never found it . We drove all over the place keeping an eye out for it but no go. Dad was peed off to say the least. 😤.
    It even had removable sides so it could be flat and also tilted to drive the snowmobiles on.
    It never even occurred to me someone might steal it and our dog who barked if we farted never made a noise, strange, I was definitely a bad daughter🥹.
    Good luck clearing a spot on the homestead👍🏼🙋🏼‍♀️

    Reference the first area Dave, probably loaded with deer. The stars must be fantastic at night! Can you be more specific as to what generation of yours farmed these areas? This brings memories of my grandparents Pennsylvania dairy farm near the Seven Springs ski area, now overgrown like this. It was 168 acres that is now completely treed. The out buildings and barn are down and remenants of the burned farm house are no longer visable. Kinda sad, but memories of my childood are very alive.

    • @DavesRVLife
      @DavesRVLife  5 месяцев назад +4

      The farming ended at both places in the 1950s. I barely remember the house that was falling in at the first farm. The second farm house burned down and I only remember the foundation that remained.

    • @DavesRVLife

    Wow, you’re extremely lucky to have access to both farms. My mother’s side of the family has a farm in southern Ohio, Morgan County in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains that has been in the family since the early 1800s, I believe it’s five generations. Distant family members still live on the farm, but they don’t farm the land. Up the road a piece from it is the family cemetery, which we all have access to and as long as you are a descendent of my great, great grandfather you can be buried there.

Keep the tractor up there several weeks or so and park it off the main clearing with cheap camo tarp and a few sapling propped around it for concealment. Rent thew trailer again when ya need it back at the garage yard.

    Hi Dave, first of all, i like the content of your channel. But i hate to have to say this, that at my end, i struggle with the poor quality resolution of your videos, it's like a 720p signal at best, sometimes it looks like 360p, even if i set the resolution to 1080p. Is it RUclips that messes it up, or what?
