Thanks for watching!
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.
Great job on the property Brian. I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing all your experiences and knowledge.
Great interview and tour! This is almost exactly how I want to utilize land once I find the right place to buy! Thank you, Bob and Brian for collaborating and sharing this! I have been following both of your channels for years! Keep up the awesome work!
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😂.
Hey Brian, so glad Bob posted this video. I had lost track of your channel and was wondering how you were doing.
Love how the dog is keeping tabs on the interview.
A man full of knowledge, bless his soul for being open to help others, just like you Bob. He has done a great job with his property and you with another wonderful tour! Much love and many blessings
Brian has done an amazing job on his property. Love his future ideas on the property. All the best to him.
This is WAAAY more work than I could do! But I admire anyone who does.
Just love how enthusiastic and knowledgeable this guy is about the land. Thanks for sharing.
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
Susie, way up in Michigan
Hi Susan, I agree...the record of human history out here is fascinating. Hope you are having a great start to the day up in Michigan! ~ Brian
Hey Susie,
You a yooper?? I'm a troll from SE Mich.
He's a smarty. Kudos!!!
I can't wait to see his land 8 years from now.
I remember when he was in that tent in Colorado. I was in San Miguel County Co praying for him as snow kept coming down with high winds.
The hair truly stood up on my neck watching that hunting blind and arrowhead. What an amazing discovery and such a treasure to have in the area!
Great job! But Arizona, in the outback, and sandals? Rattlesnakes, scorpions, I would be wearing hiking boots.
May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊
I love what you have done with your property Brian.
My first question is how do you keep your Dog safe from rattlesnakes?
Also how do you procure water?
I have been following Bob for quite a while now and his videos are inspiring.
About 15 years ago, I hauled many hundreds of tons of scrap metal from all over Northern AZ. I like yer vision.
I’m super happy for this guy, so awesome he’s done a great job. What a hard worker.
I was waiting for this next episode. Thank you guys hello from Phoenix.
Brian is the OG! So fun to watch his progress. He's got a no b.s. approach to living that we can all learn from. Kudos, man. This was a great video.
One of your BEST videos for 2024 so far. Others are great too. But this one is fabulous...all the best to Brian.
This is kind of what I'm doing. Spent some time in a pickup camper on the back of a truck, then plopped it down on a cheap piece of property that was owner financed
WOW a great set up ... hope to find my piece of land this spring in Canada.
Been following Brian back when he winter camped. Amazing plans for self sufficiency and he works HARD. Smart man! Thanks for featuring this!
His property is stunning! And easier to deal with versus the giant pine trees and such in where I’m at to clear land. He’s really made a useable space for human habitation and enjoyment, while still respecting the land and making it look natural,
Brilliant. A good steward of the land.
PS Bob, you are the best! You’re in my prayers. Thank you for all that you do and thank you for being such a wonderful proponent of personal locator beacons. I feel like You and David, Paulides are the only other two people that think the same as I do on that topic.
@joeglennaz thank you for mentioning the personal locator beacons. I paused tge video to go search for what that is...definitely adding this to my future shopping list.
Can u do quarterly tours with Brian. Would be so fun to see the changes through the seasons. You both Rock and the pups! RIP Sierra were a sweet pup.
What an inspiring guy- motivating and hopeful! Excited to go subscribe to his channel.
GOALS GOALS GOALS! 33 at the time of writing and this is a dream. Wondering how I can do this when I’ve worked lower end income jobs and have no intention of going corporate. Good luck to all trying this out, this should definitely be more accessible 🌲
Now that’s about the coolest hot tube I’ve ever seen 💪
you've never seen it? called a hillbilly hot tub lol
awww good for him, the simple life ...out of the hussle of the city
You have an incredible piece of land!! Dude, I can sooo see some underground dwellings and storage .built into one or more of those slopes.
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.
Miss Brian and Sierra, not by accident you popped up..
Much love everyone, from McDermitt Oregon free to stop by if you wish (or need a hand)
Beautiful, beautiful piece of land!! Thanks Bob for covering this one 😊
great idea for the rock check dam to build up the soil/ sediment and spread out water!
Brian, your knowledge of restoring your land is amazing! Really enjoyed hearing about your projects and seeing what you have accomplished so far!
Of all the videos I have ever watched through the years, this is now my favorite. Living my absolute dream he is!! Thanks for sharing Bob!!!
❤ this! Brian is my kind of people. Congrats, Brian. Blessings to you 🙌
❤❤❤ I subscribed to your channel. I love nature and like to do simple stuff not to leave in a rush and expensive city life. God bless you all.❤❤❤
Wow!❤❤❤ So impressive on so many levels!
Awesome interview. Thank you Bob and Cody. 😊🙏🐾😎
Brian! You are the perfect person to have purchased that land so much so that I'm sure the land is happy to have you and will continue to bless you many times over.
Brian ; Congratulations on successfully cultivating your property! Blessings to you and many more years of peace and happiness 👏👏👏property is looking great 👍
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.
Brian makes the decision making process sound so easy, but really it takes knowledge & vision of which he is very blessed! Thank you both for this inspiring video!
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!!😊
So impressive Brian! I've been a long time viewer of both your channel and Bob's channels - it's been a real privilege to follow both your journeys! Thanks for sharing your homestead and your plans.
Thanks Brian for Sharing Your Passion ❤️🙏
Thank you Bob for the second part video Brian definitely is a man with a plan and an inspiration and that he shows that there is hope for people to live their life on their terms and not the rat race of what's the rest of society does thank you again Bob and Brian for the great content that you give to help so many of us that need hope and encouragement 💪✌
Thank you for sharing this video update of your homestead.
Love what Brian has accomplished on his land.
He got a beautiful land. Congratulations! Ty for sharing with us.
We always love finding old and historic relics left behind over here, too.
Love that guy's channel, thanks for the tour of the property! What he's doing up there is really amazing!
Are you harvesting rain water from your trailer cover? I would get a few chickens right away. They're easy to take care of, and eggs are a powerhouse of nutrients! But with your eagle, you'll need them covered.
Love the plans for restoring the land
Great resource! Love all your ideas! Keeping busy on your land with some unique goals.
Your hard work shows great results !
Very informative! Thanks!
Awesome plans for your land. Can’t wait for the fruition😊
Thank you for this video. He's living my dream!
Awesome Video, Brother Bob and Brian!!! 👍👍👍👍
absolutely love the plans. Hope it works out after plans.
This is awesome! The history with property is very interesting. What a peaceful life😊
Love your place! Please keep those trees to help your land store water. Also im not sure if you want to get the wind blowing. Lots of permaculture desert designing you want to block the wind and help build soil. Im in quartzsite and if not to far from me id live to give you some free permaculture tups for designing your land
Beautiful chunk of land you got🎉🎉👍👍🙏
Yes !!!! Prickly Pear is awesome !!! Brian Rocks!!!
Great stuff 👏. Thanks for sharing. The NEW American Dream.
A great time watching and listening to this learning video. Thanks to both of you
Great tour of Brian's Homestead; you both gave us an overview of what he is doing...so cool! I've been following Brian for most of 2023 and appreciate this look around. Thank you Bob and Brian for all the information you make available .
Ur best video! So positive and encouraging!
I am so excited for Brian, his land, and his vision for it! Thank you both for sharing. I look forward to seeing follow-up interviews in the coming years.
Well thought out! 👍
I have used these too! The Best!
Great work brother, you’re living the dream.
I love Brian’s enthusiasm. Wish I had done this when I was younger.
Great video! Thanks to the both of you. Brian, excellent work. Bob, keep those awesome videos coming.
Wow! A visionary. That Apache hunting blind is amazing!
I would be interested in knowing (generally) more about property opportunities and prices. The ridge is pretty!
Amazing place! Your hard work is inspiring, and you are a great host!
Wow I love this! I would love to have property there. He’s doing a great job. Goats would be a great addition and chickens are so easy to raise. Wonderful, wonderful!!!
Yes! Goat milk is so much better for you than cow's milk! And another grat source of meat if he wants to take it that far.
Wild carnivores love goats and chickens, too. Need a 7 foot fence.
Yeah....coyotes love easy pray!
Prey.... not pray!
@@michaeltaylor4984 😊
SOooo true. PLUS add wire overhead = birds of prey also like chick-filets!
Also wonder about orange / lemont trees in cold temps up there.??
Great video, such motivation /determination & its contagious😊😊❤
HAPPY TRAILS

love when two of my faves do stuff like this!
