    After 7 years of nomadic living, Brian found his off-grid home on 14 acres and settled down in Northern Arizona. Brian's passion for sustainability, self-sufficiency, and connection with nature shines through as he provides a glimpse into his life living entirely off the grid.

    Bob, thanks again for coming to check out my progress here at the property! I've got lots of plans to really dial in my place this year after winter passes. I've cleared additional land to install a dozen more raised garden beds, identified key areas to plant fruit trees, and will be restoring native grasses at my place. If all goes well, I'll be canning food by the end of summer. I absolutely love it out here.

      You are doing what I wish I could. The more I learn the more I am turning to the earth for restorative health. I wish I could afford to come buy land next to you and learn more.

      I would try rabbits more than chickens. Chicken food is expensive nowadays, especially if you’re growing meat bird who are bred to convert purchased food mainly. Rabbits are way easier to process and grow faster than chickens. I would skip goats. Kill deer or antelope instead. Tastier and easier. I’ve done it all and you know what they say free advice is worth😂.

    That is so fantastic!!! I can see why you love living there. I grew up in the desert and used to walk everywhere and find relics from the past, lots of arrowheads mostly, but other items too, it’s so much fun to find things from actual people who lived there before you.
    I will definitely be tuned into your channel 😊❤
    Stay safe and thanks for sharing

  • @bajajoaquin
    @bajajoaquin 3 месяца назад +2

    I think I saw his video that had the results of the rain. Some constructive criticism: according to some wetland restorers, the most efficient check dams are one rock dams. You make them one rock high, but make more of them. The idea is two-fold: for the same work, you get more dams, and the water has less distance to get up speed. Sediment carrying capacity increases with the square of the flow speed. So you really reduce the ability of water to carry sediment away. The other thing is that if a dam gives way, there’s less built up energy behind it, reducing the risk of a big blowout.

    I believe that is a pithouse foundation from the basket maker period. Lithic flakes and absence of pottery sherds. They used to use rock gardens like those for their gardens the large rocks shelter the earth from the sun and retains more water. You should seek out those areas and plant melons, beans, squash and sunflowers. Also enjoy the piñon. I’m jealous, keep up the good work.

    Oh my heavens!! This is a jackpot interview/video. Incredible homestead Brian. How wonderful, and just so interesting. I’m sure there could be 8 more parts to this beautiful property and all that has been done. I’m a regular follower of you both, and always love the content. I’ve got about two more years of prep work, and my pups and I are hitting the road. First on the list is Arizona and I can hardly wait. If I’m blessed I will meet one or both of you somehow. Keep these super stories coming and take good care. And Brian, I’m sorry about your Sierra, but we all know she could not have lived a better life. You gave her everything! And congratulations on your new baby girl❤ Looking forward to watching her grow with you.
    Thank you Bob!!😊
