As a 73-year-old I sharply disagree with John's "wisdom" to buy a new car every two years and let the warrantee cover your maintenance. Sadly, that warrantee will cost you thousands each year in depreciation, higher insurance costs, extra license fees and interest payments. If you learn to live with a "Junker" that is 10 to 15-years-old and save $150 a month for repairs plus $200 a month for replacement costs. You will rarely spend the full $1800 you saved for repairs in a year. You will also have enough to upgrade in three years to a $7000 car for cash then in five more years you will be able buy a $16,000 for cash, (including $4000 trade-in). By the time the kids go to college you will be $100.000 ahead of the guy who buys a new car every two years. The money I have saved by buying liability only insurance has saved me way more than the cost of any car I have ever owned so I can walk away from any crash that is my fault and still be money ahead. Please do not enter the trap of new cars unless you plan to own it for 15-20 years.
I'm only 52, but I like your wisdom. I agree with his abt not getting trapped into thinking your only option is school loan's & a degree you won't use. I've been telling my kid's to learn a trade, that you'll always have a use for (mechanics, welding, etc) & then find something you enjoy doing that you can make a living on. We haven't made a vehicle payment in 20 ish yrs.
Now that is wise for a young man you age. You are far too rare to be content with less than a status symbol to drive in those first years. If it is possible to impress someone by the car you drive, they are far too shallow to be worth your effort. GOOD MAN WILLIAM!
You guys have opened up the conversation about swales. I didn’t know about them before you mentioned them in your live last week and now I’ve been researching like crazy. It’s an incredible way to restore the land. Im excited to implement them in my orchard design on my new property. It’s God’s providence that this information came in before we did anything. Wish I could join the class, it sounds awesome! Thanks for all you do P.I.M.P.s 😆
William you did an excellent job of presenting your material for swales and explaining the drainage. O.M.G. John just laid down the best advice for the youth. That should be told to every class of seniors about to graduate. Instead of making them think the only success is to get a degree. Keep up the good work and God bless
Very good information. Amazing how we aren't using this knowledge, I have used previous knowledge gained from watching this channel. I learn alot. I learn one, do one, teach one. My kids and grandkids are learning. Got to pass it on. 😊 Thx guys!!
Perfect timing. I'm exploring the potential to build a high tunnel on the downside of my "mound-system", or leaching field. The fill will be three-to-four feet above the lowest point of the mound, and I plan to run perimeter drainage between the planned tunnel-bed and the existing mound bed. Question: Does my plan require a soil biologist/engineer, or should I be safe if ensuring heavy rains do not wash any untreated biology from the mound to the the high tunnel bed?
William, you sir gain more of my respect every day for what you do by sharing your knowledge and your family as well with others. What a huge service you have provided by starting the channel and sharing so much information with others. Quality content from quality people. Love it! May God bless you all for the service that you provided for the community over the years. Have a blessed day William. 😎👍🇺🇲
Looking forward to the class. You explained the use of the A frame great and in a practical manner. Keep up the good work and take John’s advice. Do the work now and build your future today.
John is dead on about developing resources and handling finances. The mainstream focuses on collecting knickknacks and gewgaws, STUFF of no lasting value, rather than investing in infrastructure that will gain value over time. When the government run public schools were established, Economics 101 was deliberately left out - and we have suffered increasingly for that inculcated ignorance ever since.
hey guys. just found you and subbed. can you do a video on how to legally sale your meat if you butcher it yourself? I didn't want to use the USDA slaughter houses here for numerous reasons.
Have you considered just giving it away? Generous people attract generous people. You cannot legally trade it, but you can give it away. At first those who receive it will include some ungrateful and thoughtless jerks but as you increase in wisdom of who to give it to, you will find that what goes around also comes around. Caution, this will not work if you do not have generosity at the core of who you are. You cannot give solely to get back, people smell that out so easily.
I started getting the giggles watching William demonstrate the use of the level, because Dad used to bemoan that I was half a bubble off… 🤪 By the way, do you know how to recognize a level headed blonde? They drool from both sides of their mouth…
@@dwighthires3163 Trust me, I understand perfectly well what’s a hoot. I get reminded that Higher Authority has a sense of humor every time I look into a mirror. THAT is a hoot!
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 I wish! My sheep arrive July 26, so not possible for me this year. We are frantically trying to get things done to be ready. But I have a bucket list and will keep watch for my ability to attend and one of your workshops coincide.
Amen. Don't go to college. I have four kids. I told them that when they were young. Don't go to college. You're making the establishment rich for a trade of a piece of paper that mean nothing in the end. I told my kids be your own boss. Do something you love doing and make money doing that. In the end, you'll be much happier. Learn to be self-sufficient and self- reliant to make money. Sitting inside a box, on the phone or computer all day is not living.
I wish we could attend. We're dealing with a drought over here & they've clamped down on irrigation water. I'd like to find ways to improve our place. I've seen swales, but they never planted anything on it. Good info.
Dam! I’m 43!! I knew about instant gratification. Which is why I thought waiting to buy a house until I was 38 was best. Why didn’t I know this message correctly or how did I get it so wrong? I rented for 17 years. Thinking I’d buy a home when I could afford it. I didn’t buy expensive cars. Kept them until their wheels fell off literally. Bought a used one only once the other stopped running. But dam it! I waisted 17 yrs paying rent. Was in debt only because I put a wedding on a credit card. The marriage lasted 2 years but I was paying that wedding off for 20 years!!
No theyll just go to congress and demand the govt figure out how to forgive the debt meaning all us normies that didnt go to college have to pay and no matter how hard you try to explain that to these individuals they still dont get it!
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 you went to Hollar Homestead and told Ben about comfrey...and someone handed Ben envelope.,..my impression was you guys were going to have a surprise.. ignore if I'm not making sense
It’s a tree that’s like like legumes (beans, peas, clovers, etc). They accumulate nitrogen from the soil into their roots in a form that makes it easily available to the plants around them. So there’s usually no need to fertilize trees & shrubs or other plants nearby. If you look it up online, you can find quite a list of both trees & shrubs that are nitrogen fixers. Be cautious though, because some of the shrubs can be invasive in some regions.
At the wages of the past and cost of vehicles and repair today, both, you shouldnt purchase a car. Ever. Work near where you live. Figure it out. No wage is out to help you out of the need of that debt. Til they do meet that need with expenditure, manage for yourself. A brilliant company pays for a company bus to collect and deliver workers where there isnt mass transit available to them. That goes into managing schedules, and age range choices. Family, individual, so fourth. Companies can easily manage such, and massively improve job satisfaction and generational growth. Smarter living independent or within society must come to these issues and resolve them. Didnt hear you mention the Berm in the design.

Great info as usual.
Thank you so much!

Excellent William and John!!
Thank you so much!
-William
William should be hosting podcasts! 😆👍
Stay tuned!
Great video! I always love learning something new everyday! Thanks for the helpful info!
You’re very welcome!
I guess there's no need for an actual A-frame. Just some 5' horizontal board to set spirit level on, with equal length vertical legs.
True that any bench will work. A 2X6 with two legs also work. Just be a person who looks at life in new ways. Good thought turbowarp.
The A-frame is practical to adjust and to move along, mostly for long distances
I've had in my life both a Camaro and a Vette. The Camaro was far a better-built car. 1967 Camaro vs 1974 Corvette. Now back to swales.
Captured and held my attention throughout the entire presentation.
Thank you, William.
Thank you so much!
