fast forward a couple of years; fun to see the pods delivered to you on your new property! All those tools are buried treasure :) And the seamstress in me is certainly wondering what the fabric will become.
Amazing packing. It reminds me of our military moves and my hubby was a loadmaster so he always packed us and we always moved ourselves. Never had one thing break or whatever.........the craziest thing was having the hand lawn mower tied underneath the carriage of the uhaul in pieces and hung in a rope swing he devised and it made it to Wash also and we used it for years........LOL You can do it! Great job and excited to see you unload it. God bless
that's crazy inside of craziness ...standing ovation ..omg ...l am exhausted just watching lol...a subscriber (me) knows a channel is a keeper when you feel you have TELEPORTED into your video and enjoying it real time ...Thanks for the mini getaway ...back to my reality which is AWESOME to lol...Be Blessed
Okay, so I was confused by the lumber until the end. HAHA! Great job! You are both amazing with space. As the consumate packer & organizer, people generally just hand me the baton and stand back. This was the PERFECT video at just the right time as I am using this same size POD to move next week and it gave me hope! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
It was so much fun fitting all that stuff into the small pod. We just hope we can get the pod door open when we get it back. Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching!
I just built out a crate inside our long distance 16' POD to allow our tempurpedic to lay flat. Packed more on top of that... it's basically a dance floor. And we still need another one. The ones that move long distances are made of carbon fiber/steel... no wood so I had to work on securing things differently.
@@TheKraemerLife I was on the fence between getting the 8 foot pod or the larger 16 foot, but now I see when there’s a will there’s a way! 8 foot it is, Love your positude! :)
Not much...we purchased one roll of plastic everything else we had. We used rope, ratchet straps, and fabric that I plan to use and bedding that we were keeping to wrap items with. All in around $30.
Nice job! I love Packing like that! I would trust you to pack my things for the long haul! Does the company come pick up and haul to your new location??
Depends on how much help you have and how much stuff. It took us two days to load this but we were still packing and deciding. It only took us 2 hours to unload it fully.
Well Nate made sure he got all his tools LOL...good going going...7 X 7 X 8 Whoa I know those things are expensive but I am not sure I would have even attempted to get that size for even half the things it appears you all packed in there. I am opting to not take my time and have hubby drive a 26' Moving truck , All the animals won't fit in my car so I think some can ride with him in the truck and that will help with that portion of stuff. I will leave stuff behind before I leave any of my furkids behind or make any of the uncomfortable. Its so expensive to get a pods vs moving truck even with the price of gas. I will say I am wanting to downsize and get rid of so much stuff I have I know I don't need but I don't have time to work, make money, look for where to move, and all the things and try and sell stuff off so I am going to do whatever I can to be sure to take whatever I have to and worry about opening a store or something wherever we go and selling the stuff LOL
We downsized before we got the POD. They are expensive but convenient to store and ship once you are ready. We gambled that it would be cheaper than having to re-up have everything again.
@The Kraemer Life Come record and help load my 16 POD, Yeah! If it was not for a Pandemic. I love how you all use every inch of space. Indeed informative.
HA, it would be interesting loading another one with someone else's stuff 🤣😂 We tried to make it worth while and feel we fit more than that average POD unit for sure, thanks!
PODS are not a controlled environment and moisture is a huge concern. Everything that we wrapped in plastic we first wrapped in fabric to help protect the items. We hope that the furniture will be alright when we get the POD back and unpack everything.
@@TheKraemerLife I hope it works out for you. We had a problem with items in our non heated garage with mildew one rainy summer. Thank you so much for answering any question I ask. Have you said what type of work you did when you quit your job? I am trying to watch thru all of your videos. Have a great day
@@dmlkcs8620 I was commenting on the POD itself not where they are stored. I have used them several times over the years and haven't had any issues. Also, it may depend on where you are keeping it as the facilities could be different. I do not remember them telling us our was in a temperature controlled area but it is in Oregon where it is pretty mild weather.
One more question please. I want to bring all my cleaning stuff, Ajax, Lysol, dawn dish detergent, etc. Did you. Pack any of that stuff in the pod? I know they don’t want liquids, but I spend tons of money at Costco on this shit and I don’t want to rebuy it.
We didn't pack that type of stuff. But I'd imagine it would be ok as long as you put it in some sort of container, like a tote with a latching lid. Our stuff in the PODS was in the exact same position when it arrived in TN as it was when it was picked up in OR. So I don't think there was much "jostling" around.
I saw a few areas that could have held more! LOL Think about the jar of rocks topped off with pebbles, topped off with sand, topped off with water. There is always room for something else! 🤣😂 I also Love Tetris!
Hi! I know this video is super old but do you remember having any concerns about weight limits? Do you know what that weighed? Mine is limited to 4k lbs and I have no idea what that would be.
fast forward a couple of years; fun to see the pods delivered to you on your new property! All those tools are buried treasure :) And the seamstress in me is certainly wondering what the fabric will become.
You got that right! I also wonder what new life they will take
You guys are phenomenal packers that was unreal how much you got into that pod!

God bless
It was fun trying to figure it out and what a relief that it opened :)
I came back to see what and how you packed before I watch the unpacking !! You are good !!!!
Mismatched socks are a minor sign of future homesteader greatness! Kudos!
Definitely! Thank you.

Thanks for the positive comments. Much appreciated. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Tell us about your awesomeness!?
That was a huge help when I pack mine. Time lapse was great
That is awesome, so glad you found this useful!
All I can say is WOW!! You did an amazing job getting all that in there.
Thank you, we surprised ourselves too ;)

Awesome! Thank you! I hope that you are successful in your attempt to fill your POD to the max. :)
Now that was an awesome job 👍❗👍❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
Thanks 👍
💛 Wow! Impressive.
Um..can you come help me with my move? 🤪 absolute stellar job! 👏🏼 well done! 👍🏼
Thank you!
Tetris for live........ G'D BLESS and greetings from Inge Noordam (the Netherlands/Europe)
Wow- you guys have been very patient through this whole thing. Good for you

Did you take the couch apart? I didn't think of that
Very helpful guys, thanks for posting!
Glad it was helpful!

Amazing!
Thanks!
Good job. I just got same size pod. I hope I do as well as you did. Did your stuff arrive safely?
Yes. No issues at all with the stuff in the PODS.
Thank you for your response, it really helped me.
Great job! I’m inspired!
Awesome! Thank you! We are a little nervous to see how things shifted when we receive it to unpack but hope it is all still packed as tightly. 😀
So that is a 16ft Pod? I'm using one for My upcoming move. Thanks for the Video.
It was a 7x7x8, the small one.
How much (approx.) did you spend in packing equipment (fabric, plastic wrap, boxes)?
Not much...we purchased one roll of plastic everything else we had. We used rope, ratchet straps, and fabric that I plan to use and bedding that we were keeping to wrap items with. All in around $30.
Nice job! I love Packing like that! I would trust you to pack my things for the long haul! Does the company come pick up and haul to your new location??
Yes they do, they are storing it until we give them the address to ship it too :)
Great job!! I am going to be so disappointed in my packing lol.
LOL, we get it delivered soon so we will see how it held up after storage and a cross country move.
I didn't hear how long it took to load, I'm wondering if we can do our 16 foot POD in one day.
Depends on how much help you have and how much stuff. It took us two days to load this but we were still packing and deciding. It only took us 2 hours to unload it fully.
@@TheKraemerLife Thanks!

Do you have to worry about moisture with the plastic on your items in storage? Or are POD moisture control? Great packing.
PODS are not a controlled environment and moisture is a huge concern. Everything that we wrapped in plastic we first wrapped in fabric to help protect the items. We hope that the furniture will be alright when we get the POD back and unpack everything.

I just inquired yesterday about getting a POD for my parents home and was told the container is held in a controlled AC place.... you say it isn’t?
@@dmlkcs8620 I was commenting on the POD itself not where they are stored. I have used them several times over the years and haven't had any issues. Also, it may depend on where you are keeping it as the facilities could be different.

Oh I see! I misunderstood your post. Thank you for clarifying. I’m in Florida, high humidity here also.

Where did you get the rolling gray and black containers? Those are clutch!!
We found them at Target

Funny you mention the jar with rocks...water. that's exactly what I was thinking about when we were packing the pods.
same here
Hi! I know this video is super old but do you remember having any concerns about weight limits? Do you know what that weighed? Mine is limited to 4k lbs and I have no idea what that would be.
We didn't have any issues with our weight. They didn't say anything when they picked it up or dropped it off and we packed it as full as we could.
Was that the 7 foot container? You guys did such a great job packing 👏🏼
Yep. That was the 7*7*8 container. Thanks! We did get a LOT of stuff in there. Hope it opens when we get it back ;)
i think i would have taken apart that wheelbarrow and made sure it fit somehow.. i would rather take that then a big couch
For us it came down to cost to replace...wheelbarrow is much cheaper than a leather couch so we went that route. -K
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thank you
👍👍💞
Thanks
I hope you took all your tools and building supplies? cause having the extra furniture is not really going to help with homesteading.
Yes, we got all of our tools and lumber in the furniture was a bonus! -K
