You Jordan & Kaylee are building amazing character, perseverance, patience, & sacrificially giving to each other of your love, time, and skills. I also love the compassion & forgiveness you both have for people, animals. Your videos are terrific. Thanks so much.
I loved what Kaylee said about living your most authentic life so that when you spend time with family and friends you have more to give..I'm feeling that right now, stuck in a situation where I'm not following my dreams, I'm not happy, and I'm not the best I can be around my family.. they are getting a version of me that is miserable, ALL THE TIME. Thank you for being an inspiration to change.
AS YOU STRUGGLE THROUGH THE DAY, I GIVE YOU THE WISDOM OF THE WORDS OF THE BUDDHA. "THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE." THESE WORDS HAVE HELPED ME THROUGH MANY HARD TIMES. WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST.

@my opinion What's your problem? What do you know of the teachings of Buddha? IMO, you should spend an hour every day studying them. Then you would know the power of words, such as mindfulness, and not be such a nasty person. Ppl are dying by the thousands, mostly because of irresponsible ppl like you.
Beautiful time lapse - thanks for the chill vibes. Separating compost toilet makes a huge difference - I've made one with a funnel and tube, a Sepparett outhouse seat and full Separett toilet and they all work great.
I watched your video today with my morning coffee. Love the chicks 🐤and Lola watching them. I think she will become very protective of them as they grow older. You need another dog for Lola to play with ... How about a cattle herding dog, like a blue heeler to keep the cattle on their side of the fence? 🤔
I love your show. Here is a hint. Take lots of tubing paint it black and put it on a black painted board. Put it where it can get lots of sun and you get free hot water.
I've been with you guys through RUclips for almost your whole journey. you are truly two of the most amazing individuals I've ever had the privilege of watching! Sending you much love and warm wishes and Hope for a wonderful future. Love you guys stay safe 👍👍👍👍
You folks create one of my favorite channels. When I saw you building the box for the concrete I was hoping you were going to use that to have the concrete above the ground line so your supports don’t rust out. I saw you made the same mistake on your shed. You can’t have steel sitting in a pool of water during the rainy season.
When I was in Viet Nam (way before you were born), the Seabees built us a nice "rain room" for showers. There were two methods of getting hot water: 1. Shower in the daytime. Long black hoses were on the roof, solar showers! 2. Bend a length of pipe and put it through a metal can. Bury the can in the dirt and hook hoses to each end. Put fuel oil in the can and light it off. Keep the lid to extinguish and save fuel.
You're like my guide for when my boyfriend and I buy our land in Mexico. He's mexicain and we're dreaming of opening a hostal one day. I love what you guys are doing, and you are so stong and beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story
Hubby and I retired to Mexico in 2007. We could not be Happier! Right now our neighbors do all our local shopping for us to keep us old guys safe and sound. Really sweet! Good Luck with your dream. I can tell you for certain, it can come to pass!
You both are amazing. Been following your journey for a while now and this is my first comment. The way you are handling everything is beautiful. Your lifestyle is incredibly important. It's how we were meant to live. It's how I want to live one day too. For now, I'll grow vegetable, herb & medicinal gardens in my backyard in the middle of a city, forage in the mornings with my son, and spend the days in deep gratitude for our Mama Earth. Sending you all so much love.
Kaylee, I see such maturity and strength showing in your facial expressions, more and more each time I see you. Both of you are being so grounded amidst this pandemic. The things you loved about the town of Bouquete will gradually come back little by little. If you really want the cows out, an electric fence works the best, I needed that to keep out the neighbor's cows off of my property and it worked great. I used solar power, relatively thin metal posts made for that purpose with the wires running fairly close together. Obviously you may have to wait until you can access the materials. You guys inspire me, thanks.
When your welding instead of pulling the welding rod back to grab the steel, try pushing your welding rod forward as your welding, makes it fill in a lot better.
Should always pull arc rod, keeps the shielding gasses from the flux over your puddle. Also Im assuming your welder is AC? There are different rods for ac and dc welding . I always try to use 7018 but if your using something like 6010 it burns hot and isnt the best for a great looking weld. Try some 6013. But mostly its just helmet time. It will just keep getting better.
Hi...I'm a lover of piano music & your music 👍👍👍👍👍 the shots of the sunrise, sunsets & nite sky of the city...absolutely marvelous 😃 the chicks are really growing & enjoying their home 🐤🐤🐤🐤 & the cows 🐂🐂🐂 groovin' on the green luscious grass 😉 getting the deck done, it's gonna be so cool!!! Kaylee, you are finding your daily peace thru the art of mindfulness...being in the moment...this is how I manage & it's been helpful ✴ blessings to you, jordan, lola & chicks & know, "this too shall pass" 🙋♀️
The world needs more people like you two. I could never go to that extreme but I love watching your story, and I take lessons from the experiences you share.
We've been market gardening/homestead farming for 10 years. I don't need a workout plan. And farmers take showers before bed. BTW, the cow thing? Here's how you tap into the "cowness" of the cows and get them to work for you. My free advice is to get a solar charged battery powered electric fence charger and electric poly rope on metal fence stakes (I made some from 3/8 rebar stakes and welded some angle steel at 1 Ft. from the bottom for stepping them into the ground). I put stakes 25 footsteps apart. Add plastic insulators for the poly rope at about hip high so cows will hit it with their nose or shoulders. It's easy to make a 10 foot wide gate with an extra stake and a pre-bought plastic handle or you can make a handle from wood with a strong (9 gauge) wire hook. Clip the positive lead wire to the poly rope and clip the negative lead to your steel gate post. That's all you need in damp earth to make a ground plane on a small enclosure. It's totally movable. A single strand of electric fence will educate the local cows in short order and if they do knock it down it's easy to fix. I've used my solar chargers for years and you can get replacement batteries when needed Surround the house and garden and let the cows have the grass you don't need. They'll keep it mowed for you and the forest won't move back in and the neighbors will appreciate you generously giving them the extra grazing. There will be peace in the valley and the cows will give you free fertilizer. Cows mow 'till they're full. Machines mow 'till they're empty. Cheers and best wishes.
You guys should check out homestead rescue. That show is packed full of really awesome ideas that you can put into use. I lived off grid for a few years, no electric or water. Trust me, I know the struggle is real. It's also WORTH it. Hang in there you two, it will get easier.
Girlfriend I live in Panamá 🇵🇦, and I take cold showers every day at 5:45am now because of the situation, but when things were normal I used to bath at 2:35am every day!!! I guess my mental strength is ON POINT!!! Be bless and be safe!
I would suggest a single strand electric fence (solar) to keep the cattle out of your smaller space. Hang little strips of something from the wire so the cattle will realize it's there. I get my supplies from Amazon. Then the cattle can keep the weeds down since your weed weedwacker was stolen.
Glad ur building a deck! I think it will make you happy. If part of it is covered and sheltered it can serve as a breeze way before you enter the bus. It can also serve as a vestibule for removing muddy boots and wet clothes when you come in fro the rainy season. Speaking from my experience: If there is something I'd also recommend in preparation for the rainy season, it's to put a few cheap paving stones on the ground between your deck and where you usually park your truck and that way you don't have to step on the mud when you go to and come back from, say the grocery store or even the cafe. Little things in life can greatly improve the quality of life.
Love your vlogs. I have incorporated them on my weekly routine. You guys are really really really REAL! I appreciate you inviting us into your world! Best of luck with your Panama farm and be safe.
I hope you guys are ready for the rains. We got a 1/2” just today in Brisis. The Melo store is opened in Boquete... just up from Romero’s. They have an electric fence charger to keep the cows out. You only need to electrify one strand of wire. They touch it on or two times it will stop them from coming on your property. It’s not enough to hurt them. Will save you a lot of grief.
welcome to the nomadic movement community of peace, love, kindness, encouragement, good vibes, understanding, supportive, non judging & accepting & welcoming! you will be inspired by jordan, kaylee & lola, they are such amazing people! i have been with the nomadic movement since day 7 of their ymca bus conversion when they created jenny out of love! the nomadic movement binge marathon is in order for you, it will inspire you, give u chills, make u laugh, truly entertain you, make you smile, they make you feel like you are there with them, make you feel calm, happy & they make u believe ✌️❤️🦒
Hi Guys. I enjoy your videos, how you make them and your honesty with your struggles. As a professional tradesman, I have a tip for you to make your life easier. There is no need to box your concrete. Just dig your hole to the right size and shape and pour your concrete in, if you mix the concrete a touch dry the post will self support. Consider raising the steel post a touch in the hole to allow the concrete underneath. Hope this helps Mark from Australia
Any plants that are special u need to protect. If u have more chicken wire make guards around the plant, so the cows don't eat them love the view, the sky the clouds, beautiful 💜
Mechanic/welder here, for the ARC welding it's definitely an improvement but there is so much more to just turning the unit on and having at it. Overall it looks like good form for a beginner but you gotta get the unit tuned in for the type of welding you need done. Hope this helps
The first episode that I found showed making a rock border around a flower bed by the house. Then I saw the outside toilet. I wasn't sure why putting up a couple of make shift walls and a roof... could be done with a couple sheets of pylwood.....wouldn't come first. Camping in the Snowy Mountains, we used a hoola hoop and a stolen shower curtain from an old Howard Johnson's hotel. We hug the hoola hoop from a tree, strung the shower curtain....which covered 3 sides, and a plastic sheet for a roof. Beats being in the rain. Good luck guys...wishing you the best
AMEN SISTER!!❤ Like I always say, I can't share a smile unless I'm smiling first... bc it's impossible to share something that we, ourselves, don't have. Keep smilin' y'all!!✌😁👌
Talk to the farmers about fixing the fence to keep those cows off your property. It goes like this " Por favor podrian arreglar la cerca mejor para que las vacas no crucen para mi lado" You guys are doing great "what does not kill you makes you stronger". I like that phrase. Good luck and God bless you my friends.
I have to say since everything going on in the world I watch ALOT of RUclips videos. By far, you both are my favorite, I LOVE the way you love each other by the way you look out and think of the other 1st. Keep making videos, you make me wanna live in Panama now..
A compost toilet is quite different from burying the crap in a hole every day. Composting completely kills pathogens, eliminates odours, and yields humus. It is a process that gets rid of all household organic waste safely and efficiently. We used to dig a hole with a post hole digger because we didn't want to put feces in our regular compost heap, but after studying a few trusted experts, we decided to add it to the compost pile. It works superbly if you do the job correctly, and fifty years later, I still do the same without any noticeable unforeseen consequences, and much less strain than digging holes. At 75, I still make ten tonnes of compost every year, and I still love both doing it, and getting tonnes of worm castings, which make your plants do jumping jacks, and laugh alot. Also, the sooner you get the cows fenced out, the better off you will be. Cows are a huge pain in the ass, and they never miss a trick when it comes to total destruction.
One day at a time guys. Keep going, keep building. Just know you’re not alone in this isolation so we all have to adjust. At least you have the space to move around!. I love the night sky camera!!!
Just wanted to let you know how I enjoy your video and watching ya'll build a life together, what you are doing is not an easy task especially during these times, keep up the good work and stay the course, Thanks so much for sharing the video. a strand of wire an a electric fence might keep the cows back off your plants.
I'm in lockdown in San Carlos District of Panama (near Coronado). Loving your series! Stay sane in this lockdown. It's a crazy time. Ya'll are doing a great job settling into life in Panama (and being off the grid and all the bureaucracy here).
Family is like a beautiful moment in life, you need to love it, embrace it and enjoy it, but don't stay in it. We all need to grow a humans, and the best way to develop our full potential is when we are away from the comfort of our inner circle. You guys are pure joy.
I love wim hoff and ice baths! Haha its awesome seeing others all charged up and as enthused. You adapt after a minute and a half and after doing them daily it gets way easier.
OMG Wim Hoff changed my life, I've been doing Wim Hoff on and off for the past 2 years and the results are amazing! You guys are awesome! :) Blessings to you guys, stay safe!
Another soothing vid guys, I could watch you all night long. I particularly enjoyed the quote of the day "Cement, no it's concrete I always mix them up" of course you do or they would never set, lol. xx
Rebuild your water collection system. Put sloped dirt along the sides and back to prevent the high winds from getting under your collector. You're going to need the water to finish off your crops.
Kaylee you are spot on. So often the when the quantity of time seems almost unlimited, we drift through, like ghosts. Not completely there, not fully ourselves, not fully engaged. But, when our is limited and we've prioritized the time, we are fully there, determined to make the most out of every second. We are fully ourselves. If we cannot be or hesitate to be ourselves, who are we then? If someone likes, accepts, loves a less than authentic or false version of ourselves it slowly erodes our self esteem. It's like the immediate and painful impact of rejection is numbed but the daily realization that the person(s) don't really know you well so more actually damage in the long run. Similar to burning yourself on a hot iron. Ouch, that hurts and you yank your hand away faster you thought possible! There is a little burn, doesn't feel good in that spot. What would happen though if you didn't feel it and left your hand there, or even increased the contact. We are here to be our authentic, genuine selves, to the best version of ourselves, and when we are we generally find we're much more able to give others the space and support they need to be themselves. Truly enjoyed this video, sorry for the long philosophical post! Obviously my thoughts and meditations have run along the same lines as Kaylee! Love you guys, stay safe!
I love the scene of the night sky with all the stars. We live in Alaska, and our nights are growing shorter. Soon we won't be able to enjoy the stars until August. It's some what like saying good bye to friends for a season. Love you two.
Yeah haha , have to start with the cattle , they will wreck everything ... small inner electrical fence ? Otherwise get them to pay aggistment and have the cattle all there for a week at a time
Kaylee that was beautiful, said so well, thanks for sharing, I hope you're all happy, safe, and healthy. As always stay safe and god bless love ya Nancy
My world is horses. There are some very good solar-powered electric fences (good for cows too) - easy to install and many of them are temporary. You could at least make a perimeter around the bus, chicks and pump house. If you want some help with parts or installation, I'd be happy to lend a virtual hand
There most be a rule with the cows. Their owners have to fix the fences and make sure his cows dont go into ur land. That is not your job. Ask the cofee guy. He must know what to do. Good luck
In theory you are correct, if the cows are on your property, tie them up and wait for the neighbour to come speak to you and insist they take care of their livestock. In practise it sets the locals all against you. Going to speak to them and all you get is "no no no, not my cars, they are penned in good". Just easier to put extensive barbed wire around your land. 3 rows of wire isn't going to cut it, 5-7 rows of wire minimum up to about 4.5 / 5ft minimum as cows can jump surprisingly high
Or ask the guy that fixed their flat tire. He'd know. Jordan must've been embarrassed about his lack of skills and his self-inflicted injury, all while the locals snickered at him. Cattle will wreak havoc. Cute at first, then they ruin your crops. Ruts, dung, urine, etc. The piano music with Kaylee talking about missing family was almost too much. Sad! The experience: It may shift from idealism to realism, that hill in Panama might start to lose some of its charm, as family time loss takes it's emotional toll. Stay healthy & happy guys!
I wouldn't mind having cows enter my property, they take care of mowing the grass and weeds, which can exacerbate allergies, not to mention.... free fertilizer!
Suggestion for you guys for a little piece of mind get some geese , they are so noisy when strangers come around and they will stand there ground ,but they back down if confronted, that's not there strength, but the noise they will make WOW. It will alert you and others to strangers in the camp ?? Just a thought I had to maybe help you a little ?? Try it out and if it don't work out they sell super easy ...
Very relatable at the end. Being away from family holds me back a lot but I know deep down in my heart, I am a pioneer! Also the love between you two is so present 💓 good luck guys
Awesome! I SOooo look forward to your VIDs; Your Sweet personalities, The Lifestyle, videography AND the geography MAKE MY DAY! Thank You SOoo much..With Love and Blessings from Colorado❤️🚌👍
When changing a tire loosen the lug nuts while it is on the ground.. can’t knock it off the jacks .. much more sturdy .. then jack it up to remove the tire .. safer
@@MrBrickboy38 I can understand where the OP was coming from as a person who might have meandered into this video but not have watched the other videos. Just because we've watched every single one of their videos we can't expect others to have watched all of them. I too was like this man when I landed on one of their videos and then I decided that it was worth it to subscribe and watch their older awesome videos until I had caught up.
I always use cement and concrete interchangeably becauuse even concrete has cement in it! But this is the easiest way for me to remember. Concrete contains an agregate. But it also contains cement. So that is how I remember which is which. Cement is smooth, concrete contains cement but also contains agregate. Knowing that concrete contains cement reminds me it also contains something else, where cement doesn’t. Okay,, that sounds odd, but in my brain it makes total sense! LOL! 🤣 It’ a happy place inside my head!
Interesting. I've become interested in cement and concrete, I want to build a dome home. Sometimes they use aircrete? also. Amazing structures, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, fire proof. Super insulated, can be heated with passive solar, easy to cool also. So not popular, so good of an idea. Monolithic domes have cement roofs, but any dome structure in much better. Stay safe, thanks for the cement info. ruclips.net/video/wT6gemuwf4E/видео.html
A 44-gallon drum on its side on top of some bricks a slit on top and pipes connected to the side built a fire underneath and you have hot water for bath shower etc that's what we had as kids cheap and simple
That’s it 💧❄️ Exactly it will happen keep putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation taking those cold baths and it will build mental strength to be able to make it easier for you to take those cold baths. It will work that’s what happened to me. I rarely take hot baths even if I have hot water. I love it. In the summertime I look forward to it getting cold again So I can get that exhilaration. Just switch to pouring the water over you and don’t spray it on you.
With a good system at top efficiency, and average production of three tons per acre, you’ll need 2.6 acres to meet the dry matter requirements of the 1,000-pound cow for a year. If you are continuously grazing, you will need more acres.
Key to hot water off grid is DC heating elements use solar or wind wired in series to 24-48 volt heating elements to a tank. Wire with a marine switch so you can either top off your batteries or heat a tank of water. Seriously two 24v wind turbines or even solar panels in series making 48 v would heat a huge water tank even in winter low light conditions. Its the most efficient way to convert energy to convert it to heated water plus a battery back up! I use a two panel 24v solar system wired to 48v heating elements by 11-12 am able to take piping hot showers or in the worst conditions take a luke warm shower.
I agree ...We moved away from family and friends in CT to N.C. I always say we have quality time when we visit or they visit. But there is never enough time to see everyone when I go home. Love you guys!
I HATE anything COLD!! You are a lot braver than I am when it comes to cold showers! And use those cows to mow your grass and fertilize all your plants. And just a tip, stake down your chicken house so it does not blow over in that wind and the predators cannot tip it over! The deck is an awesome plan!

lyrics....
The Only Constant Is Change
BT
First we are explicably where we are
Chaste and burned - we're comfortably loveless
In a trillion years, the stars will no longer shine
We'll remain.
Get it right or come back again
My love
Make it clear, integrate this love and fear
Still hopelessly hopeful
Wounded child seeking wonderful
As closed as I am
Born a craftsman of shifting sands
What lies I learned
Lessened my 'bility to be present
My love will never change
Though we've ruined everything
The stars still conspire for us
Until our final breaths
We need more love in the world
We need more hope in the world
Build more joy in the world
We crave more love
My love will never change
Though we've ruined everything
The stars still conspire for us
Until our final breaths
Until our final breaths
The only constant is change
My love will never change
Though we've ruined everything
The stars
The only constant is change

I would suggest a single strand electric fence (solar) to keep the cattle out of your smaller space. Hang little strips of something from the wire so the cattle will realize it's there. I get my supplies from Amazon. Then the cattle can keep the weeds down since your weed weedwacker was stolen.
You. Guys are living through this crap in such an eco way, good luck to you both, you’re looking so well.🙏
Omg I loved the camera in the bucket and the dirt thrown on top. Very cool. I’m so weird, lol. I love clever filming!
I was wondering if they wipe off the camera afterwards or have a special case for that.
DIYprojects I was thinkin a ziplock baggie 😃
Glad ur building a deck! I think it will make you happy. If part of it is covered and sheltered it can serve as a breeze way before you enter the bus. It can also serve as a vestibule for removing muddy boots and wet clothes when you come in fro the rainy season. Speaking from my experience: If there is something I'd also recommend in preparation for the rainy season, it's to put a few cheap paving stones on the ground between your deck and where you usually park your truck and that way you don't have to step on the mud when you go to and come back from, say the grocery store or even the cafe. Little things in life can greatly improve the quality of life.
Love your vlogs. I have incorporated them on my weekly routine. You guys are really really really REAL! I appreciate you inviting us into your world! Best of luck with your Panama farm and be safe.
I’m just thinking about how your child/ren will be able to see all of the things you did, and the journey you took, and i think its truly beautiful.
I hope you guys are ready for the rains. We got a 1/2” just today in Brisis. The Melo store is opened in Boquete... just up from Romero’s. They have an electric fence charger to keep the cows out. You only need to electrify one strand of wire. They touch it on or two times it will stop them from coming on your property. It’s not enough to hurt them. Will save you a lot of grief.
Love you guys stay safe and healthy. Can’t wait till your next video!
Greetings from Pittsburgh guys! First time viewer here. Wishing you all the best during this time.

Hi Guys. I enjoy your videos, how you make them and your honesty with your struggles. As a professional tradesman, I have a tip for you to make your life easier. There is no need to box your concrete. Just dig your hole to the right size and shape and pour your concrete in, if you mix the concrete a touch dry the post will self support. Consider raising the steel post a touch in the hole to allow the concrete underneath. Hope this helps Mark from Australia
Awesome video! Lots of fun and smiles...so nice to have some light in this challenging time:)
Any plants that are special u need to protect. If u have more chicken wire make guards around the plant, so the cows don't eat them love the view, the sky the clouds, beautiful 💜
Mechanic/welder here, for the ARC welding it's definitely an improvement but there is so much more to just turning the unit on and having at it. Overall it looks like good form for a beginner but you gotta get the unit tuned in for the type of welding you need done. Hope this helps
The first episode that I found showed making a rock border around a flower bed by the house. Then I saw the outside toilet.
I wasn't sure why putting up a couple of make shift walls and a roof... could be done with a couple sheets of pylwood.....wouldn't come first.
Camping in the Snowy Mountains, we used a hoola hoop and a stolen shower curtain from an old Howard Johnson's hotel. We hug the hoola hoop from a tree, strung the shower curtain....which covered 3 sides, and a plastic sheet for a roof.
Beats being in the rain.
Good luck guys...wishing you the best
AMEN SISTER!!❤ Like I always say, I can't share a smile unless I'm smiling first... bc it's impossible to share something that we, ourselves, don't have. Keep smilin' y'all!!✌😁👌
We plan on living more self-sustainably once we've experienced a few years of vanlife :) keep up the great vids
Jimmy Jams not even to travel around Europe?
Talk to the farmers about fixing the fence to keep those cows off your property. It goes like this " Por favor podrian arreglar la cerca mejor para que las vacas no crucen para mi lado" You guys are doing great "what does not kill you makes you stronger". I like that phrase. Good luck and God bless you my friends.
Nice start off to the day with a kaylee and Jordan video. I just love you guys!!!
So happy you two decided to stay in Panama it's probably a lot safer than the states. Love the cows bc Lola loves them and they're cutting your grass!
I have to say since everything going on in the world I watch ALOT of RUclips videos. By far, you both are my favorite, I LOVE the way you love each other by the way you look out and think of the other 1st. Keep making videos, you make me wanna live in Panama now..
FROM JEDDAH CITY SAUDI ARABIA WISHING U GUYS ALL THE BEST.
I KEEP WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS.
U GUYS ARE AMAZING.
Some great timelapses in this video, especially the one of the stars and night sky. Nice !

A compost toilet is quite different from burying the crap in a hole every day. Composting completely kills pathogens, eliminates odours, and yields humus. It is a process that gets rid of all household organic waste safely and efficiently. We used to dig a hole with a post hole digger because we didn't want to put feces in our regular compost heap, but after studying a few trusted experts, we decided to add it to the compost pile. It works superbly if you do the job correctly, and fifty years later, I still do the same without any noticeable unforeseen consequences, and much less strain than digging holes. At 75, I still make ten tonnes of compost every year, and I still love both doing it, and getting tonnes of worm castings, which make your plants do jumping jacks, and laugh alot. Also, the sooner you get the cows fenced out, the better off you will be. Cows are a huge pain in the ass, and they never miss a trick when it comes to total destruction.
Some beautiful shots in this video!! You guys are working so hard and it shows! Those babies are just to die for I love them!
The cows are attracted to the light & love around you. They like company! Life is paradox, humor & change! 😁😁😁💙💚💜💟😁😁
J.thats is beautiful & so true, ty for saying so! stay safe. peace & love & light ✌️❤️✨🦒✨
One day at a time guys. Keep going, keep building. Just know you’re not alone in this isolation so we all have to adjust. At least you have the space to move around!. I love the night sky camera!!!
The "reflective moments" were very touching and telling. So well said and inspiring. I shed a few. 😢
Just wanted to let you know how I enjoy your video and watching ya'll build a life together, what you are doing is not an easy task especially during these times, keep up the good work and stay the course, Thanks so much for sharing the video. a strand of wire an a electric fence might keep the cows back off your plants.
I'm in lockdown in San Carlos District of Panama (near Coronado). Loving your series! Stay sane in this lockdown. It's a crazy time. Ya'll are doing a great job settling into life in Panama (and being off the grid and all the bureaucracy here).
You're both doing so well I'm working so hard. Continue to hang tough and at the end of this you'll celebrate with family and friends
All I got is.....YOU TWO ARE GEMS! Shine on young people
Keep well
Family is like a beautiful moment in life, you need to love it, embrace it and enjoy it, but don't stay in it. We all need to grow a humans, and the best way to develop our full potential is when we are away from the comfort of our inner circle. You guys are pure joy.
Just ordered my fifth bag of coffee from you, it's my reward for getting it done! Awesome night timelapse Jordan!
You guys can fix the cow / fence issue by electrifying the fence using a solar panel charger.
I love wim hoff and ice baths! Haha its awesome seeing others all charged up and as enthused. You adapt after a minute and a half and after doing them daily it gets way easier.
OMG Wim Hoff changed my life, I've been doing Wim Hoff on and off for the past 2 years and the results are amazing! You guys are awesome! :) Blessings to you guys, stay safe!
Another soothing vid guys, I could watch you all night long. I particularly enjoyed the quote of the day "Cement, no it's concrete I always mix them up" of course you do or they would never set, lol. xx
when welding this box section steel turn up the amps and pulse it on off on off ,pull the welding rod away half second intervals. Good luck
Times are a changing,nice music guys. love your deck idea,freedom at your feet.
this is the moment i have been waiting for,every time i watch your vlog I have been always wishing you have a deck to spent your days to.so yeeyy!!!
Rebuild your water collection system. Put sloped dirt along the sides and back to prevent the high winds from getting under your collector. You're going to need the water to finish off your crops.
Kaylee you are spot on. So often the when the quantity of time seems almost unlimited, we drift through, like ghosts. Not completely there, not fully ourselves, not fully engaged. But, when our is limited and we've prioritized the time, we are fully there, determined to make the most out of every second. We are fully ourselves. If we cannot be or hesitate to be ourselves, who are we then? If someone likes, accepts, loves a less than authentic or false version of ourselves it slowly erodes our self esteem. It's like the immediate and painful impact of rejection is numbed but the daily realization that the person(s) don't really know you well so more actually damage in the long run. Similar to burning yourself on a hot iron. Ouch, that hurts and you yank your hand away faster you thought possible! There is a little burn, doesn't feel good in that spot. What would happen though if you didn't feel it and left your hand there, or even increased the contact. We are here to be our authentic, genuine selves, to the best version of ourselves, and when we are we generally find we're much more able to give others the space and support they need to be themselves. Truly enjoyed this video, sorry for the long philosophical post! Obviously my thoughts and meditations have run along the same lines as Kaylee! Love you guys, stay safe!
You have a great attitude and you followed your intuition - don't second guess it. Learning curves suck :-)
I am rooting for you guys and look forward to each new video!
I love the scene of the night sky with all the stars. We live in Alaska, and our nights are growing shorter. Soon we won't be able to enjoy the stars until August. It's some what like saying good bye to friends for a season. Love you two.
alaska is so special, congrats on having such a divine homeland! ty ✌️❤️🦒
invest in fixing the fencing to stop the cows from coming in..what happens when you start building your other structures and gardens?
no stores open is what i heard.
yes. Build an A frame pole fence. They wont breach that fence
Solar electric fence maybe
I think they don't mind the cows keeping their grass short
Yeah haha , have to start with the cattle , they will wreck everything ... small inner electrical fence ? Otherwise get them to pay aggistment and have the cattle all there for a week at a time
Kaylee that was beautiful, said so well, thanks for sharing, I hope you're all happy, safe, and healthy. As always stay safe and god bless love ya Nancy
The starry night at 7:00 was spectacular. Give us more of that. Your channel is so much more interesting now that you are on the land.
Some great photography and singing!
OMGNESS!! Beautiful voice and feeling the ❤️ of the sweet music 😍 The both of you have and again, I say. Keep it "all" coming. Thank you
"I don't want any poop water splashing up on my butt" dead LOL! Both of you should do the Wim Hoff challenge! Excited to hear the review!
Also, when you take a cold-shower, breath! LOL
My world is horses. There are some very good solar-powered electric fences (good for cows too) - easy to install and many of them are temporary. You could at least make a perimeter around the bus, chicks and pump house. If you want some help with parts or installation, I'd be happy to lend a virtual hand
There most be a rule with the cows. Their owners have to fix the fences and make sure his cows dont go into ur land. That is not your job. Ask the cofee guy. He must know what to do. Good luck
In theory you are correct, if the cows are on your property, tie them up and wait for the neighbour to come speak to you and insist they take care of their livestock. In practise it sets the locals all against you. Going to speak to them and all you get is "no no no, not my cars, they are penned in good". Just easier to put extensive barbed wire around your land. 3 rows of wire isn't going to cut it, 5-7 rows of wire minimum up to about 4.5 / 5ft minimum as cows can jump surprisingly high
Or ask the guy that fixed their flat tire. He'd know. Jordan must've been embarrassed about his lack of skills and his self-inflicted injury, all while the locals snickered at him. Cattle will wreak havoc. Cute at first, then they ruin your crops. Ruts, dung, urine, etc.
The piano music with Kaylee talking about missing family was almost too much. Sad!
The experience: It may shift from idealism to realism, that hill in Panama might start to lose some of its charm, as family time loss takes it's emotional toll.
Stay healthy & happy guys!
I wouldn't mind having cows enter my property, they take care of mowing the grass and weeds, which can exacerbate allergies, not to mention.... free fertilizer!
In some places, even in the U.S., if you don’t want cows, it’s your job fence them out.
Suggestion for you guys for a little piece of mind get some geese , they are so noisy when strangers come around and they will stand there ground ,but they back down if confronted, that's not there strength, but the noise they will make WOW. It will alert you and others to strangers in the camp ?? Just a thought I had to maybe help you a little ?? Try it out and if it don't work out they sell super easy ...
Very relatable at the end. Being away from family holds me back a lot but I know deep down in my heart, I am a pioneer! Also the love between you two is so present 💓 good luck guys
Awesome! I SOooo look forward to your VIDs; Your Sweet personalities, The Lifestyle, videography AND the geography MAKE MY DAY! Thank You SOoo much..With Love and Blessings from Colorado❤️🚌👍
When changing a tire loosen the lug nuts while it is on the ground.. can’t knock it off the jacks .. much more sturdy .. then jack it up to remove the tire .. safer
kayakchrispy I was thinking the same thing 😂 forgetting their bus is permanently off the ground.
The bus is on blocks because they are living in it. Wake up
Exactly ,but any idiot would know this ,these guys are out of their depth
Tony o farrell that’s why you have to learn
@@MrBrickboy38 I can understand where the OP was coming from as a person who might have meandered into this video but not have watched the other videos. Just because we've watched every single one of their videos we can't expect others to have watched all of them. I too was like this man when I landed on one of their videos and then I decided that it was worth it to subscribe and watch their older awesome videos until I had caught up.
Time lapse of the night sky was awesome! Kaili, you and your sport outfits makes me think you are a power Ranger or some other super hero 🤣🤣🤣🙋♀️
I always use cement and concrete interchangeably becauuse even concrete has cement in it! But this is the easiest way for me to remember. Concrete contains an agregate. But it also contains cement. So that is how I remember which is which. Cement is smooth, concrete contains cement but also contains agregate. Knowing that concrete contains cement reminds me it also contains something else, where cement doesn’t. Okay,, that sounds odd, but in my brain it makes total sense! LOL! 🤣 It’ a happy place inside my head!
Interesting. I've become interested in cement and concrete, I want to build a dome home. Sometimes they use aircrete? also. Amazing structures, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, fire proof. Super insulated, can be heated with passive solar, easy to cool also. So not popular, so good of an idea. Monolithic domes have cement roofs, but any dome structure in much better. Stay safe, thanks for the cement info. ruclips.net/video/wT6gemuwf4E/видео.html
A 44-gallon drum on its side on top of some bricks a slit on top and pipes connected to the side built a fire underneath and you have hot water for bath shower etc that's what we had as kids cheap and simple
I am impressed by all of your skills.
More singing please! That was absolutely gorgeous! I replayed it over and over. You sing like an angel.
a good fences keeps
good neighbours
It’s not a bad thing to have the “Good-Good”❣️
Loved the night sky stars scene absolutely stunning and the clouds scenes too so refreshing
I am so jealous of that sunset you guys get everyday.
That’s it 💧❄️ Exactly it will happen keep putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation taking those cold baths and it will build mental strength to be able to make it easier for you to take those cold baths. It will work that’s what happened to me. I rarely take hot baths even if I have hot water. I love it. In the summertime I look forward to it getting cold again So I can get that exhilaration. Just switch to pouring the water over you and don’t spray it on you.
With a good system at top efficiency, and average production of three tons per acre, you’ll need 2.6 acres to meet the dry matter requirements of the 1,000-pound cow for a year.
If you are continuously grazing, you will need more acres.
Great video!!! Glad you're staying happy and healthy. Chickens coming along lovely!!! Lola? Wheres Lola? Lol. Take care. Keep up great build.
Key to hot water off grid is DC heating elements use solar or wind wired in series to 24-48 volt heating elements to a tank. Wire with a marine switch so you can either top off your batteries or heat a tank of water. Seriously two 24v wind turbines or even solar panels in series making 48 v would heat a huge water tank even in winter low light conditions. Its the most efficient way to convert energy to convert it to heated water plus a battery back up! I use a two panel 24v solar system wired to 48v heating elements by 11-12 am able to take piping hot showers or in the worst conditions take a luke warm shower.
That time lapse shot!!! Gorgeous!
Such a pleasure to watch your videos. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏻
So inspiring. Thanks guys. Stay safe.
Your guys rock! You’ll are very blessed than your know always keep a positive outlook on life and good things shall always follow.
I agree ...We moved away from family and friends in CT to N.C. I always say we have quality time when we visit or they visit. But there is never enough time to see everyone when I go home.
Love you guys!
Love you guys. I admire the leap that you took and how you're working well together. You inspire me.
I HATE anything COLD!! You are a lot braver than I am when it comes to cold showers! And use those cows to mow your grass and fertilize all your plants. And just a tip, stake down your chicken house so it does not blow over in that wind and the predators cannot tip it over! The deck is an awesome plan!
Hey guys, make sure the exhaust from the generator doesn't gas you chickens. Maybe the wind carries it away?
