You have 5 kids, who will all eventually need their own homes. They may not all want to stay on the farm, but you may find several of your home sites may end up getting used!😊
This must be like a dream life for a kid, out in the woods on your own land with pops, exploring and doing projects together. They all seem so sweet and well-behaved, too. You seem like a great dad.
you would be amazed how much brush those cattle with eat and knock down on those hillsides, they csn climb some steep slopes, you wasteing lots of feed
Justin as a daughter thank you so much for allowing your daughter to help you and the boys. My dad only let us help with things when no other men could come by. My sister always wanted to help Daddy outside; she was too little but could have grown into things. Also the fact that you strap Mr Brown to you and take home everywhere, just warms my heart. Hugs to you Rebecca and all the rest of the family ❤
Your kids are amazing! Jonah has a brilliant mind for farming, and after Jonah got hurt Josiah stepped up to the task! Lily is an amazing girl! Milking cows early on and taking care of chickens and sheep is so impressive. Mr Brown and his shoe issues makes me smile everyday. Henry has been on your back before he could walk, and the way all the kids take turns at caring for him and early on they all helped Rebekah. I’ve never seen kids so gung ho about family farming….. Jonah is only 15 and invents ways to fix things. The way you and Rebekah have raised your children is impressive!! The farm is all about family and education…. Awesome and impressive!
If I was in your situation, like building a Homestead I would build a sheep house so the sheep don’t get shocked or anything damaging like lightning hail

I have SO enjoyed following along these 100 days, even when there was a lot of the same. Seeing the excitement and joy and RELATIONSHIPS throughout the process, even the mundane, is super encouraging. Watching your kids really gives me hope in a culture that often feels so oppositional to traditional ideas. Keep up the great work Rhodes family... and enjoy that vacation!
You've set your kids up for success better than most - I grew up on a farm and watching your kids enjoy it so much gives me a strong sense of nostalgia ❤
if they can turn all that into a homestead in 100 days, I most certainly can turn my backyard into a "homestead" this summer. I've been watching the whole journey and it's inspired me
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all the Rhodes family during the 100 days. It went by too fast. You are an awesome family! I'm 70 years (young)! Y'all give me something to look forward to every day. Thank you and God Bless each one!😊
Hello from Australia, You once said you were going to pull down "old/existing " structures where you were clearing... .... a suggestion... Since you will being running livestock over that area, keep the buildings, strengthen them, to make them sound. These can store extra animal, fencing,battery chargers, tools and water spares, to save you running back and forth. Just a thought. Lorraine
2:11:02 you’re so unbelievably trusting and positive and those kids little spirits are fed so much by your unending trust in them and they way you don’t distract them with worry or fear and they feel empowered to do anything is touching the deepest parts of my heart. Each and every one of them feels so heard and free and strong and smart. So wonderful to have documented and I feel blessed to share these moments with you. Thanks for being you and sharing it with the world believe me as a new person who’s trying to document just snippets of my life I know how truly difficult it is to set up cameras and edit and remember all the I’s and T’s! Great work and lovely people !!
I’ve loved watching your 100 days of building a homestead. I probably joined you guys at about day 15 or 20 and I’m so glad this came up on my for you page. I love being able to wake up and know that I can watch a video of you guys. I’m 12 years old and want to start doing things similar to you guys but my parents won’t even let me get chickens. I want to own a farm/homestead when I’m older but I just feel like it’s never gonna happen. We will see what comes into my life. Love you Justin, Rebecca, Jonah, Josiah, Lily, Gideon, Henry, and animals. Love, Hannah Johnson from Oregon Thank you guys so much for all the advice and support in my dream. Love you!
Hello Hannah, fellow Oregonian here! Maybe ask if you can have a 5x5 or possibly 10×10 chunk of yard and start your very own little garden. Prove them your committed and faithful to that responsibility, show them you can grow food and you might get excited! Never say never if you want something!
Hannah, Don't give up, When I was 15 my Father put a hold on my dreams. At the time I told him when I get 21 you can't stop me. I stayed mad at my Father for 6 years. I left home the week before my 21 birthday & filled my dream & became a member of the AAGPL. I placed 2 years as the league disbanded in 1954 after 11 years. Whatever your dreams are don't give up, remember only you can make them come true. Stay strong. Your parents' job is to help you choose the best road to follow in your young life. You have time on your side.
You can hv whatever you like just continue to dream your dream watching him learning what it takes then show your parents just what it takes to survive off the land I hv faith in you I’m 71got started also in the early stages of their lives I love it I just love all of it I cann foods bc of them I hv many birds bc of them I watched him fence it off so I did it you can too your city allows 3birds but if you keep them clean and keep a lot of ppl knowing you can hv more I got 20😮 yes 20 start off buying the minimum 3ea city chk your area buy the foods first all the things you need then the birds it’s dooooo easy
Watching these 100 days has been so inspiring. I cannot wait to watch this right now! Thank you for all you do. Also just finished reading The Rooted Life this morning. What a great day this is.
Enjoyed your journey. Jonah healing, Josiah coming into his own, really stepping up to the challenges. Watching him smile when he cut those first trees. Priceless. Lilly IS a little work horse! Mr. Brown is growing up and is finding his shoes so to speak. Becoming a good helper. Henry coming along to be with Dad. It's hard to hide success. Your success is your family. Bravo 👏
I do agree with some of the comments that the Rhodes didnt really build a homestead in 100 days they just accessed water, better access and cleared 2 acres. But im not putting it down at all i loved the videos and think they did a great job . I think what happened was the original goal was to build a homestead but it turned into remodel the current housebarn and clear more land for more cows...much love ❤
What do you think building a homestead is. These are the first three critical tasks. Everyone has there own option on what a homestead build is, I guess
@Justin Rhodes i wasnt trying to put your process down or anything negative.. i think yall did a great job and got alot accomplished. It gave me some great ideas with that everflow watering system..id actually love to hear about if i could build one here in the frozen canadian north
Your oldest son is just amazing. He is so passionate. A future engineer. He is so full of passion and problem solving and confident. It is a testament of him growing up with you and you encouraging. Just imagine doing this without your kids. Just imagine tour kids growing up without the opportunity to try things.
We watch your videos every day! Thank you for teaching us and allowing us to be a part of your everyday routine. No matter what you are doing, it is a privilege to be able to watch you and your family set goals, watch your kids grow up, and to be a part of your life. Thank you, Hope
If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life
I'm 48 years old and living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud than I am. I'm glad made great decisions about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.
Thanks to the testimonies I saw on Twitter, she has helped me. I thought the reviews were not real but I will now boldly testify ... her strategy is awesome 👍✨⭐
I'm also a proud beneficiary! I've built my portfolio massively and still building it. Started with a RUclips referral just like this and a few thousand. I'm way up to the profits now
I have loved watching the 100 days. I became a first time parent of twins at day 70 and has been so interesting for me to be learning about your family as mine is just getting started and pondering what it means to be a parent ect. Thank you so much!! & good luck in your future. love from australia
❤Thank you all so much for sharing your journey with us! What a blessing it is to get to watch, learn & enjoy! You are truly an inspiration & great teachers - all of the Rhodes family! I learn even from your precious kids 🥰 God bless you❤
I really liked how you and Dan did this compilation video on the "Building a Homestead in 100 days". You showed parts of the videos with a commentary in between. It flows really well with the explanations in between. I really liked the spring water set-up parts. It was so great that you got your goals accomplished over the 100 days and did it together as a family! Thanks for this Rhodes family!
Good job Justin and family! Not only has it been fun to watch what you're doing on your Farm but you are a great teacher Justin. You are testimony to keep pushing through and great things can happen. I pray for your family often that the Lord would continually bless you each step. You all are amazing! Trust in the Lord that each day as we lift you up in prayer that's physical healing floods your family in whatever way it may be needed the Lord knows. I just want to say thank you my hope is one day my family will have a different place but until then we do what we can. Bless each one of you
This may be dramatic, but you get me through grad school! Being able to look forward to a 10-20 minute session of totally relaxing my brain and enjoying your videos is the highlight of my life right now. And your one of the only things I can listen to when I get migraines. Bless your whole existence seriously 😅❤
I visited the country of my birth, Colombia, and I was amazed at some of the cultivations on the side of mountains. They even had cows grazing on these steep slopes. I was amazed at how they were able to get up there, but they did.
Awesome video guys. Huge examples and awesome content. I’m 25 and have a lovely wife. We have three beautiful babies Devin 5, Marlee3, and Maverick 1. And I just love the way y’all raise your children to work along side you and to not be focused on tv or video games. Exactly what I want to do with mine! Thanks again for all the content. Much love from Mississippi
Seeing your kids absolutely dive into power tools and you letting them! It is absolutely amazing to watch. Too many kids these days aren't exposed to this kind of thing. I myself never want kids, but if I did, I'd want them to turn out like those two young men there. They are going to grow up knowing how to get shit done! Keep on trucking kids!
I don’t have a farm but my husband and I worked clearing our property down to the creek and it made a huge difference and really opened our property up. The property we live on has a lot of sentimental history for us and will always be special. Even though my property isn’t anywhere near the size as yours, I completely understand what you are feeling. And, you have really wonderful children. I was so impressed at their ability and how they were out there working like men and a little lady. I know you must be so proud of them but hope you two are also proud of yourselves as parents. You are doing a great job with them. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far.
We really enjoyed the inspiring100-day project as we watched all of you work towards your goals as you grew to love the land as a family and together overcoming all the obstacles you faced.
For anyone pulling stumps with a tractor I recommend using your 3 point with a really strong draw bar, putting strain on your loader can cause harm in the long run, also your lift power in your 3 pint is a lot stronger and when you pull away your adding weight to the rear wheels.
So agree with you. My daughter and I are presently trying to put an offer on some land to start homesteading again. Been praying this lot may be what God has for us.
I'm so so so thankful, that falling branch didn't do more damage, Justin. Nov 21, 1989 my dad went home to Jesus under similar circumstances. Praise God for His protection and mercy.
LOVED IT! Will be the story of your kids to recall when they are your age Justin! Imagine the kind of pride they will have as men knowing they helped you succeed with your vision and also wanting to make it happen for themselves! I hope this land is in your family for many many generations to come! I’m sure if your boys or your precious Lily have anything to say about it, it will be! Congratulations on all your hard work and your success, that water is something truly extra special! Something I don’t think the kids fully appreciate but definitely will one day!! That’s something incredible and rare and extra special clean spring water!! Wow!! You could bottle it!! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻
Excited about what you decided to do about the siding. Lilly's the littlest lumberjacqueline no doubt. She really came through. Your sons are the new Beastie Boys. Fax! You & your wife are def on the right track with your fam & your lives. Continue to lead the masses forward out of these big cities & into the original ways of traditional family values & harmonious stewardship of this big garden we've been gifted with. Lovin it! Good times
Tree stump puller’s on skid steers work the best. A 10 inch tree gets removed in seconds. The skid steer easily Shakes 99% of the topsoil off of the stump. Well, well easily worth the investment by the looks of your land!
You are fortunate to have Josiah on your team. Her is a work horse, he is a good listener to Justin and respectful, doesn’t argue and he is shares the workload well.
Watched every day and learned so many things and details. Perspective of what it takes to make a dream, Reality. Thank you Justin for allowing us to come along. Thank you, Rebecca, Jonah, Josiah, Miss lily, And of course Mr. Brown.. And the cutest of all, Mr. Henry!! Thank you for all your hard work! I am so proud of you kids..
To see you guys everyday has been so wonderful, I will miss daily videos as you are all part of my daily routine...Thank you for all the hard work you have shown us all...Please keep the videos coming and enjoy your vacation coming up...Hopefully you will share a little of that :)
I’m telling you what Patara I am wrung out with three years of this crap. You are right I personally am absolutely sick of being lied to and manipulated. I go between just focusing on my animals and family and tuning every bit of it out to being sucked back into it again with major anxiety. Feeling like some big hammer is about to drop. Thanks for this video. Glad to know others have had it too and I’m drawing the line at War of the Worlds too!
Nice to see a review of the 100 days. I can't recall you ever trying a ram pump in your quest for the everflow system. The boys did great on the waterwheel, they should work on a ram pump to feed the property as the velocity/flow of water at the waterwheel site could probably work very well! With proper conditions it could lift up to 400 ft in elevation, they would love that with no need for electricity! Great job everyone! Blessings, Jan
I was thinking about 'Rooted', and how far you have come in the last year or so, not just in the last 100 days. My heart is full of thanks to God for recovery and abundance. I admire you very much for the hard work. And joy together with you in the fruits of the labor.
You might try what we did...We drilled out the stump, lit it afire & used charcoal until we got a hot fire then kept it gong with used kitchen oil until the stump burned down. The roots burned for days.
Nook and cranny farming. I like that. We gaze in wonder at what we've chipped away at. Currently we're working on clearing trees for a goat pasture. Deciding on where fences can go, so many piles to burn. We've got the goats in a quarter acre close to the house but as soon as we can burn pulled stumps and brush we can fence the 2 acres further out. We've got a small kitchen garden close to the house, and up the hill we terraced and fenced a bigger garden, maybe 2/3s of an acre. Im struggling with the orchard, Ill be back at it planting more bare roots in february. We're really taking out minimal trees, as we love living in a forest.
This is amazing.... 13 minutes in, and I just realized this is almost 3 hrs long. Im gonna try to watch the whole thing. Thanks for sharing. You set a good example as a Dad, too.
You were so blessed with good hearted kids, but you guys have done an AWESOME job racing them & teach them the value of God, family & hard work!! God bless you!! 🙌🏻🦋🤗Love & admiration from Kentucky 🙌🏻🦋
What a great project. Kids are hard workers and Justin teaches the why's, what nots with a nostalgia of what he learned as a young man. Awesome. Blessings.
Its so wonderful to hear the good news on the MRI! Equally wonderful to see soil and seeds coming out in anticipation of spring and the fast approaching garden season!! Nothing affects me quite so much as being forced inside for weeks on end by cold weather and the general bleakness of winter. Dreaming of the coming growing season and all its possibilities helps me muddle through the long weeks of winter weariness and keeps the gremlins of depression at bay. I am blessed with 9+ months of "growing season" where we live and i thank God for planting me here and not somewhere where winter lasts one day longer! LOL You are exactly right about depression and the FACT that things WILL GET BETTER. I'm excited to get started sowing seed and getting a head start on what we'll be growing this year and looking forward to the journey and the joy it brings to my life not to mention all the delicious nutritious food my little spot of earth will produce ... with God's blessing. ❤❤
I love how y'all are raising your children! This was an incredible story of hard work, love and the bond of how family should be. Praise and love to you all!❤
You had one goal of specific things you wanted to complete within a specific timeframe. However at the end of your allotted time certain things didn’t get checked off your list. But many did. Going from siting for a new home is time consuming then ultimately deciding to remodel instead is a huge pivot. So many successes did take place. I agree the water was really a big score, especially as a future time saver doing chores. Access to roads is so key when making your way around and clearing a piece of land. But what stood out to me was the family working together and your strong desire to create memories and legacy on your family’s land. And you taught your children that the best laid plans many times will change. When we start projects or paths life happens, new ideas form as we learn more, priorities change, opportunities arise. Many things can affect the need to change direction. So regrouping causes us to pivot and adapt to those changes. I saw you and Rebecca teach your children one of life’s very important, but underrated, lesson of adaptability. They already had a good start, living on a farm. This will take them far in life. It’s so great to see you incorporate all the kids, not just the older boys, in different aspects of the project. Secretly,😉one of my favorites was to see Lily 🌸spring into action with the sawsall. Even Mr. Brown checking the water flow with you was so good as the problem got solved and making suggestions. The kids are thinking always how to fix, change, think outside the box and adapt because they know their ideas will always be heard and considered which is so important to them whether or not they were used. Those are huge memories and life lessons they will always have and cherish. I’m looking forward to watching the farm build progress and your remodel comes to life. I really enjoyed watching this. From CA🏖️take care.
Idea to take or leave.....While you can clear each of the kids an area. One every year. When they are ready to leave the nest they can start with there home. Until then use them for your learning school. People can rent and learn how to take care of a homestead with on hand training. This does many things: keep your grounds getting the attention needed until you're kids are ready to live in them. You can have them work on your farm as part of the learning school, to help you but also to learn farm lessons. Just a thought...take it or leave it.❤️
You have a way about you Pete. Whether you're rebuilding an old machine or clipping a field, I enjoy your videos... So calming and informative. Thank you Sir. Long time fan!
Now, Have a wonderful, fun VACATION!!!! and don't forget, all of us who are addicted to watching your family every day, well...we will be here waiting for you when you get back!!! Be safe and have tons of fun!!! From Utah.
So awesome you guys! Well done, and thanks for sharing the journey with us. It’s such a joy to see you all working together, and so fun to see the boys’ excitement over the new machinery.
You are teaching your boys skills they can carry through the rest of there lives. I think that is fantastic. I have 3 sons they are all grown now and on there own. But some of there greatest memories are were they helped me on our home. And they have carried those skills they learned with them.
I watched days one through 99 but seeing it all together was a different experience--well done on the film and on the homestead development! As my grandmother would say, it's time for the Rhodes family to "take an ease-o." 🙂
My face is always happy everytime I'm watching ur videos with a whole family 😂😂😂 the kids is so happy helping in one another... Love love love to ur eldest son...... GOD BLESS TO UR FAMILY JUSTIN RHODES❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes!!! I see justin passing up all these potential pasturing areas just because its on a 30 degree slope when i am a huge fan of billy and what he does and is doing with clearing sloped land and running his animals on all slope...even look at sean and beth Daugherty who graze on slope aswell...i agree speak with billy at permapasturesfarm
Justin you automatically determine that parts of your land with a 30 percent grade is unusable but I have seen videos where people are grabbing dirt from upper pastures and pulling it down to level their land, making more usable land. That's something you could get your two sons to do with the new equipment.❤❤❤❤
Best way to get rid of large stumps. Drillminto them at least 8-10minches. Fill will olive / vegetable oil. They will be ready to be broken apart in about 6 months. Did this with major stumps an it was easy to do then.
Look in regenerative logging they leave the stumps in their dedicated 5 acre wood lot and let the trees regrow from the stumps especially the hard woods if you have maple trees there you can make maple syrup from it as you have a boiler furnace that would already be a fire to boil the sap down to syrup make a lot of $ and use sources you already have
Beautiful outro, the bonding and enjoyment is clear to see from henry to Joshua to Mom to Pop. That will live with you all as you grow... amazing work by the kids, no better life skill being taught here than the grind gets it done, but with people you love, it's becoming your legacy
Late fall, early winter is the best time to walk the forest except for deer hunters. I remember when my parents and us started clearing the two lots at Crosby. My dad was in his mid-30s and my mom was in her late 20's and I was about 7-8 and my brother was 5-6.
So good to see Boss Man shine and Josiah get at the getting things accomplished. Go Rhodes Crew. Mountain laurel you got a gold mine of bay leaf there. Sometimes, old school out does the new fangled. Use it up, wear it out or do with out. Whichever the way you do it, you are creating family legacy, happy memories to hand down through the generations. Watching all these big machines pulling the things by the pond reminds me of a children's book.
I love how you dont just work the kids. But you let them know its their farm. You let them speak their minds in decisions . Its like they are board members. Awesome. Fellow workers, fellow partners,awesome..
One option that would’ve made things a little faster in my opinion just as fun was or would be to rent a forestry mulcher along with the bobcat that hooks up to you can easily take out 5 inch maybe up to 8 inch trees. Depending on how dense an acre or more a day.
Great job with the 100 day summary! I really enjoyed this. Everyone involved will have precious memories to pass along to later generations. You can’t buy those types of memories. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I’m so happy to see you guys with all the safety gear when run power saws I have lost a few friends to those tools complacent work and no safety equipment equals tragedy!!!! Great job
You have 5 kids, who will all eventually need their own homes. They may not all want to stay on the farm, but you may find several of your home sites may end up getting used!😊
This must be like a dream life for a kid, out in the woods on your own land with pops, exploring and doing projects together. They all seem so sweet and well-behaved, too. You seem like a great dad.

Hello from Australia,
You once said you were going to pull down "old/existing " structures where you were clearing... .... a suggestion...
Since you will being running livestock over that area, keep the buildings, strengthen them, to make them sound.
These can store extra animal, fencing,battery chargers, tools and water spares, to save you running back and forth. Just a thought. Lorraine
Thank you for raising men and children with amazing work ethics.
What a wonderful life those kids have. All of you so very happy for you, such kind people and you helping Bri I will never forget. God Bless..
Wow! What a pleasure to see your family over this last 100 days, you should all be very proud. Warmly, Vicki
2:11:02 you’re so unbelievably trusting and positive and those kids little spirits are fed so much by your unending trust in them and they way you don’t distract them with worry or fear and they feel empowered to do anything is touching the deepest parts of my heart.

I think what happened was the original goal was to build a homestead but it turned into remodel the current housebarn and clear more land for more cows...much love ❤
What do you think building a homestead is. These are the first three critical tasks. Everyone has there own option on what a homestead build is, I guess
To me building a homestead is the buildings (including the home), the garden, the orchard and the animals (
@Justin Rhodes i wasnt trying to put your process down or anything negative.. i think yall did a great job and got alot accomplished. It gave me some great ideas with that everflow watering system..id actually love to hear about if i could build one here in the frozen canadian north
Are you “home schooling”?
Nobody can completely build their homestead in 100 days. I think it is more of 100 days of building a homestead.
Your oldest son is just amazing. He is so passionate. A future engineer. He is so full of passion and problem solving and confident. It is a testament of him growing up with you and you encouraging. Just imagine doing this without your kids. Just imagine tour kids growing up without the opportunity to try things.
We watch your videos every day! Thank you for teaching us and allowing us to be a part of your everyday routine. No matter what you are doing, it is a privilege to be able to watch you and your family set goals, watch your kids grow up, and to be a part of your life. Thank you, Hope
Going to miss these daily vlogs been watching them to help me to relax before bed
I also love how real you all are. The video is raw and not perfectly shot. Just shot as it happens. Which makes it perfect.
If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life
I'm 48 years old and living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud than I am. I'm glad made great decisions about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.
ago I was skeptical about trading bitcoin until I was introduced to Mrs. Pamela Weaver and I must say I was by her understanding and politeness
Thanks to the testimonies I saw on Twitter, she has helped me. I thought the reviews were not real but I will now boldly testify ... her strategy is awesome 👍✨⭐
I'm also a proud beneficiary! I've built my portfolio massively and still building it. Started with a RUclips referral just like this and a few thousand. I'm way up to the profits now
No doubt ma'am Pamela Trading Services is very good, I invested €5,000 and cashed out €124,700 after 1 month. I still wonder how she gets her analysis
I have loved watching the 100 days. I became a first time parent of twins at day 70 and has been so interesting for me to be learning about your family as mine is just getting started and pondering what it means to be a parent ect. Thank you so much!! & good luck in your future. love from australia

I really liked how you and Dan did this compilation video on the "Building a Homestead in 100 days". You showed parts of the videos with a commentary in between. It flows really well with the explanations in between. I really liked the spring water set-up parts. It was so great that you got your goals accomplished over the 100 days and did it together as a family! Thanks for this Rhodes family!
Good job Justin and family! Not only has it been fun to watch what you're doing on your Farm but you are a great teacher Justin. You are testimony to keep pushing through and great things can happen. I pray for your family often that the Lord would continually bless you each step. You all are amazing! Trust in the Lord that each day as we lift you up in prayer that's physical healing floods your family in whatever way it may be needed the Lord knows. I just want to say thank you my hope is one day my family will have a different place but until then we do what we can. Bless each one of you
We're doing it together and that's just priceless ☺️
This may be dramatic, but you get me through grad school! Being able to look forward to a 10-20 minute session of totally relaxing my brain and enjoying your videos is the highlight of my life right now.
And your one of the only things I can listen to when I get migraines.
Bless your whole existence seriously 😅❤
Hi my friend how are you doing today 😊
🇦🇺I love the way you and your kids work so well together. It’s amazing what can be done when people work together.
The vibe from that Lowes trip was so relatable 🥲😂😆
I visited the country of my birth, Colombia, and I was amazed at some of the cultivations on the side of mountains. They even had cows grazing on these steep slopes. I was amazed at how they were able to get up there, but they did.
Awesome video guys. Huge examples and awesome content. I’m 25 and have a lovely wife. We have three beautiful babies Devin 5, Marlee3, and Maverick 1. And I just love the way y’all raise your children to work along side you and to not be focused on tv or video games. Exactly what I want to do with mine! Thanks again for all the content. Much love from Mississippi
Where r u in Miss? I’m 45 min outside Jackson
Seeing your kids absolutely dive into power tools and you letting them! It is absolutely amazing to watch. Too many kids these days aren't exposed to this kind of thing. I myself never want kids, but if I did, I'd want them to turn out like those two young men there. They are going to grow up knowing how to get shit done!
Keep on trucking kids!
Great job including the kids. Please put ear protection on them any time you’re running the saw in their vicinity.
I don’t have a farm but my husband and I worked clearing our property down to the creek and it made a huge difference and really opened our property up.
The property we live on has a lot of sentimental history for us and will always be special. Even though my property isn’t anywhere near the size as yours, I completely understand what you are feeling.
And, you have really wonderful children. I was so impressed at their ability and how they were out there working like men and a little lady. I know you must be so proud of them but hope you two are also proud of yourselves as parents. You are doing a great job with them. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far.
Great jog Rhodes family. Keep a goin. It’s been so much enjoyment watching you everyday.
We really enjoyed the inspiring100-day project as we watched all of you work towards your goals as you grew to love the land as a family and together overcoming all the obstacles you faced.
This no doubt will bring tears of joy...Well done Rhodes Pack, that was a true adventure!!!
For anyone pulling stumps with a tractor I recommend using your 3 point with a really strong draw bar, putting strain on your loader can cause harm in the long run, also your lift power in your 3 pint is a lot stronger and when you pull away your adding weight to the rear wheels.
Amazing accomplishments. Fantastic legacy with your children. You're an amazing father. Well done everyone! 🥳
So agree with you. My daughter and I are presently trying to put an offer on some land to start homesteading again. Been praying this lot may be what God has for us.
Hi elyce how are you doing today
I'm so so so thankful, that falling branch didn't do more damage, Justin. Nov 21, 1989 my dad went home to Jesus under similar circumstances. Praise God for His protection and mercy.
Hi my friend how are you doing 😊
I loved the pond clean out, hated to see the tractor leave 😅
LOVED IT! Will be the story of your kids to recall when they are your age Justin! Imagine the kind of pride they will have as men knowing they helped you succeed with your vision and also wanting to make it happen for themselves! I hope this land is in your family for many many generations to come! I’m sure if your boys or your precious Lily have anything to say about it, it will be! Congratulations on all your hard work and your success, that water is something truly extra special! Something I don’t think the kids fully appreciate but definitely will one day!! That’s something incredible and rare and extra special clean spring water!! Wow!! You could bottle it!! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻
I watched every day of this series and I loved rewatching the recap! Great job y’all! ❤
Excited about what you decided to do about the siding. Lilly's the littlest lumberjacqueline no doubt. She really came through. Your sons are the new Beastie Boys. Fax! You & your wife are def on the right track with your fam & your lives. Continue to lead the masses forward out of these big cities & into the original ways of traditional family values & harmonious stewardship of this big garden we've been gifted with. Lovin it! Good times
Mya is so proud to show you all of his toys. I love Jess and Mya from roots and refuge
Tree stump puller’s on skid steers work the best.
A 10 inch tree gets removed in seconds.
The skid steer easily Shakes 99% of the topsoil off of the stump.
Well, well easily worth the investment by the looks of your land!
You are fortunate to have Josiah on your team. Her is a work horse, he is a good listener to Justin and respectful, doesn’t argue and he is shares the workload well.
Congratulations Rhodes Family! 🤩👍🏾👏🏾
Watched every day and learned so many things and details. Perspective of what it takes to make a dream, Reality.
Thank you Justin for allowing us to come along.
Thank you, Rebecca, Jonah, Josiah, Miss lily, And of course Mr. Brown.. And the cutest of all, Mr. Henry!!
Thank you for all your hard work! I am so proud of you kids..

Cows manage very good also in steep territory. Thats how they raise cows during summer in the swiss alps. Sheep, goats, pigs and chickens too.
Love the excitement of your kiddos to work for rewards like a chocolate bar. Mr. Henry is getting so big. Thanks for sharing

To see you guys everyday has been so wonderful, I will miss daily videos as you are all part of my daily routine...Thank you for all the hard work you have shown us all...Please keep the videos coming and enjoy your vacation coming up...Hopefully you will share a little of that :)
I’m telling you what Patara I am wrung out with three years of this crap. You are right I personally am absolutely sick of being lied to and manipulated. I go between just focusing on my animals and family and tuning every bit of it out to being sucked back into it again with major anxiety. Feeling like some big hammer is about to drop. Thanks for this video. Glad to know others have had it too and I’m drawing the line at War of the Worlds too!
Hi Trish how are you doing today?😊
Nice to see a review of the 100 days.
I can't recall you ever trying a ram pump in your quest for the everflow system.
The boys did great on the waterwheel, they should work on a ram pump to feed the property as the velocity/flow of water at the waterwheel site could probably work very well! With proper conditions it could lift up to 400 ft in elevation, they would love that with no need for electricity!
Great job everyone!
Blessings,
Jan
Where is the wife. You take care of the baby and kids. You and the kids do all the work. You do the cooking and cleaning. Your a super dad.
I was thinking about 'Rooted', and how far you have come in the last year or so, not just in the last 100 days. My heart is full of thanks to God for recovery and abundance. I admire you very much for the hard work. And joy together with you in the fruits of the labor.
You might try what we did...We drilled out the stump, lit it afire & used charcoal until we got a hot fire then kept it gong with used kitchen oil until the stump burned down. The roots burned for days.
Nook and cranny farming. I like that. We gaze in wonder at what we've chipped away at. Currently we're working on clearing trees for a goat pasture. Deciding on where fences can go, so many piles to burn. We've got the goats in a quarter acre close to the house but as soon as we can burn pulled stumps and brush we can fence the 2 acres further out. We've got a small kitchen garden close to the house, and up the hill we terraced and fenced a bigger garden, maybe 2/3s of an acre. Im struggling with the orchard, Ill be back at it planting more bare roots in february. We're really taking out minimal trees, as we love living in a forest.
This is amazing.... 13 minutes in, and I just realized this is almost 3 hrs long. Im gonna try to watch the whole thing. Thanks for sharing. You set a good example as a Dad, too.
You were so blessed with good hearted kids, but you guys have done an AWESOME job racing them & teach them the value of God, family & hard work!! God bless you!! 🙌🏻🦋🤗Love & admiration from Kentucky 🙌🏻🦋
What a great project. Kids are hard workers and Justin teaches the why's, what nots with a nostalgia of what he learned as a young man. Awesome. Blessings.

Its so wonderful to hear the good news on the MRI! Equally wonderful to see soil and seeds coming out in anticipation of spring and the fast approaching garden season!! Nothing affects me quite so much as being forced inside for weeks on end by cold weather and the general bleakness of winter. Dreaming of the coming growing season and all its possibilities helps me muddle through the long weeks of winter weariness and keeps the gremlins of depression at bay. I am blessed with 9+ months of "growing season" where we live and i thank God for planting me here and not somewhere where winter lasts one day longer! LOL You are exactly right about depression and the FACT that things WILL GET BETTER. I'm excited to get started sowing seed and getting a head start on what we'll be growing this year and looking forward to the journey and the joy it brings to my life not to mention all the delicious nutritious food my little spot of earth will produce ... with God's blessing. ❤❤
GET A SPARE TIRE hook a chain to the stop and put the chain over the tire and it'll pull the stuff up
I love how y'all are raising your children! This was an incredible story of hard work, love and the bond of how family should be. Praise and love to you all!❤
Hi Sylvia how are you doing today ☺️
WELL DONE JUSTIN AND MOST IMPORTANT YOUR CREW (FAMILY,CHILDERN,THE BEAUTIFUL ONE,GOOD WORK,💪🏼👶🏼🧒🏼👦🏼👧🏼🧑🏼🧔🏼♂👩🏼
You had one goal of specific things you wanted to complete within a specific timeframe. However at the end of your allotted time certain things didn’t get checked off your list. But many did. Going from siting for a new home is time consuming then ultimately deciding to remodel instead is a huge pivot. So many successes did take place. I agree the water was really a big score, especially as a future time saver doing chores. Access to roads is so key when making your way around and clearing a piece of land. But what stood out to me was the family working together and your strong desire to create memories and legacy on your family’s land. And you taught your children that the best laid plans many times will change. When we start projects or paths life happens, new ideas form as we learn more, priorities change, opportunities arise. Many things can affect the need to change direction. So regrouping causes us to pivot and adapt to those changes. I saw you and Rebecca teach your children one of life’s very important, but underrated, lesson of adaptability. They already had a good start, living on a farm. This will take them far in life. It’s so great to see you incorporate all the kids, not just the older boys, in different aspects of the project. Secretly,😉one of my favorites was to see Lily 🌸spring into action with the sawsall. Even Mr. Brown checking the water flow with you was so good as the problem got solved and making suggestions. The kids are thinking always how to fix, change, think outside the box and adapt because they know their ideas will always be heard and considered which is so important to them whether or not they were used. Those are huge memories and life lessons they will always have and cherish. I’m looking forward to watching the farm build progress and your remodel comes to life.
I really enjoyed watching this.
From CA🏖️take care.
Idea to take or leave.....While you can clear each of the kids an area. One every year. When they are ready to leave the nest they can start with there home. Until then use them for your learning school. People can rent and learn how to take care of a homestead with on hand training. This does many things: keep your grounds getting the attention needed until you're kids are ready to live in them.
You can have them work on your farm as part of the learning school, to help you but also to learn farm lessons. Just a thought...take it or leave it.❤️
For your children to have their own passion for working the land and reaching goals is a true blessing. Great job guys 👍. 🙂
You have a way about you Pete. Whether you're rebuilding an old machine or clipping a field, I enjoy your videos... So calming and informative. Thank you Sir. Long time fan!
Now, Have a wonderful, fun VACATION!!!! and don't forget, all of us who are addicted to watching your family every day, well...we will be here waiting for you when you get back!!! Be safe and have tons of fun!!! From Utah.
To remove the tree roots, loosen the soil around the base of the root . Drop your chain closer to the ground when you wrap it around the tree stump.
So awesome you guys! Well done, and thanks for sharing the journey with us. It’s such a joy to see you all working together, and so fun to see the boys’ excitement over the new machinery.
We are supper excited to see other homesteads from Oklahoma. We are sharing your journey uo here around Keystone Lake and loving it.
You are teaching your boys skills they can carry through the rest of there lives. I think that is fantastic. I have 3 sons they are all grown now and on there own. But some of there greatest memories are were they helped me on our home. And they have carried those skills they learned with them.
I watched days one through 99 but seeing it all together was a different experience--well done on the film and on the homestead development! As my grandmother would say, it's time for the Rhodes family to "take an ease-o." 🙂

My face is always happy everytime I'm watching ur videos with a whole family 😂😂😂 the kids is so happy helping in one another... Love love love to ur eldest son...... GOD BLESS TO UR FAMILY JUSTIN RHODES❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Justin you need to talk to the guy from Permaculture Pastures, because he takes land with a big slope and gets his pigs to terrace it for him.
Yes!!! I see justin passing up all these potential pasturing areas just because its on a 30 degree slope when i am a huge fan of billy and what he does and is doing with clearing sloped land and running his animals on all slope...even look at sean and beth Daugherty who graze on slope aswell...i agree speak with billy at permapasturesfarm
Justin you automatically determine that parts of your land with a 30 percent grade is unusable but I have seen videos where people are grabbing dirt from upper pastures and pulling it down to level their land, making more usable land. That's something you could get your two sons to do with the new equipment.❤❤❤❤
WOW, y'all this series got me watching you. Hopefully many more cool things to come. Thanks for sharing!
Watch the old stuff! It’s awesome.
More to come!
@@theJustinRhodesShow can't wait, I love seeing the kids work around the farm. I love to see Jonah especially because he's about my age.
You BUSTED your shoulder? I thought it wasn't broken? Just bruised?? I'm confused now.
Best way to get rid of large stumps. Drillminto them at least 8-10minches. Fill will olive / vegetable oil. They will be ready to be broken apart in about 6 months. Did this with major stumps an it was easy to do then.
I would definitely go with a mini excavator over a skid steer for your first piece of equipment. Its just more versatile
Look in regenerative logging they leave the stumps in their dedicated 5 acre wood lot and let the trees regrow from the stumps especially the hard woods if you have maple trees there you can make maple syrup from it as you have a boiler furnace that would already be a fire to boil the sap down to syrup make a lot of $ and use sources you already have
Beautiful outro, the bonding and enjoyment is clear to see from henry to Joshua to Mom to Pop. That will live with you all as you grow... amazing work by the kids, no better life skill being taught here than the grind gets it done, but with people you love, it's becoming your legacy
Late fall, early winter is the best time to walk the forest except for deer hunters. I remember when my parents and us started clearing the two lots at Crosby. My dad was in his mid-30s and my mom was in her late 20's and I was about 7-8 and my brother was 5-6.
So good to see Boss Man shine and Josiah get at the getting things accomplished. Go Rhodes Crew.
Mountain laurel you got a gold mine of bay leaf there.
Sometimes, old school out does the new fangled. Use it up, wear it out or do with out.
Whichever the way you do it, you are creating family legacy, happy memories to hand down through the generations.
Watching all these big machines pulling the things by the pond reminds me of a children's book.
It feels so good to see over A MILLION subscribers next to your name. I’ve been watching since 150k and you’ve given me so many ideas thank you
I love how you dont just work the kids. But you let them know its their farm. You let them speak their minds in decisions . Its like they are board members. Awesome. Fellow workers, fellow partners,awesome..
Such an amazing journey for a wonderful family! I’m so impressed with your children and how hard they work, you are blessed.
One option that would’ve made things a little faster in my opinion just as fun was or would be to rent a forestry mulcher along with the bobcat that hooks up to you can easily take out 5 inch maybe up to 8 inch trees. Depending on how dense an acre or more a day.
Great job with the 100 day summary! I really enjoyed this. Everyone involved will have precious memories to pass along to later generations. You can’t buy those types of memories. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I’m so happy to see you guys with all the safety gear when run power saws I have lost a few friends to those tools complacent work and no safety equipment equals tragedy!!!! Great job
I so love the Initiative of the youngsters
a lovely journey ❤ thank you for including us
My pleasure 😊
