    Hey guys from a firefighters perspective I wanted to offer some thoughts on what I would do. Make sure you have a ton of defensible space meaning no major growth preferably bare soil around the cabin build in a large meadow or clear a large area, this all depends on fuel type height load etc it’s worth looking up and into. Look into an exterior fire sprinkler set up even though it’s non combustible fire will warp and destroy it, this way you’ll be able to turn on the sprinklers to the cabin and keep it cool if you have to evacuate. Because of the construction material remoteness and access your going to be written off very quickly think of fire truck access not small vehicle access when you build the road. Just my thoughts…. It’s beautiful out there just some forward thinking because fire is not if… it’s when. Good luck !!! ❤

    The problem with dogs and bears is that , eventually, the dogs will return to you with the bear in pursuit. Have the dogs wear bear bells on their collars when outdoors to scare them away. I would probably invest in electric tape fencing around your camp area to deter predators . I do this around my camp in northern BC and except for a moose every now and then , the electric tape works pretty well. I love this new adventure. You go Mountain Gurl. :)

      they should also put-up motion lights, ( i think they may even have some that make noise too) never leave a single spec of food in the camper and get an outdoor grill. the grill does several things, it keeps the smell of food out of the camper, it keeps the heat from cooking out of the camper, and if they go with charcoal it will keep a few of the bugs away for a few hours.

    Fun video today! TICKS 👹👹 Quick tip: we had a tick problem here in AZ. I was opposed to tick collars/dip for our dog so I started feeding him brewer’s yeast tablets every day. Apparently, the B vitamins in the yeast makes the skin distasteful. It really worked and we never had a problem after that. We’d even go camping in the mountains and he’d come home tick-free. He consumed 5-6 tablets/day(he was 100 lbs) and he ate them like they were candy 😊

Kenzie and Spencer certainly have their act together and are creating a channel with a great vision. They've done awesome to date with the container home build, and now this new journey into the mountains. I can't wait to see where they are going with it, and I will definitely be riding shotgun along the way. You can definitely feel the energy and excitement they have in this video.

We used rainwater runoff in 55 gallon drums to wash clothes and to bathe with. My granny had a wash tub and heated water on her wood stove for my and my sisters bath. I was the oldest at 8, then 6 and then 3 year old sisters. We had to stand in wash tub and then granny checked and removed the ticks! Lol you'll have to do something similar!

    You guys need to build a dog fence for the dogs for the times they're left outside and aren't being supervised. Maybe there is less chance of running off in the woods getting lost and offering some protection. As the weather gets colder, the wild animals will be searching for food. You can buy things to spray around the area where you guys will mainly ward off ticks.

    Hey, we live in a place where ticks are a part of life. Check yourselves every day. Even with off you will still get them. A friend of ours sprayed nematodes in a large area of our property. He has done it the last two Summers. I do not get any bites once they are sprayed. I have alpha-gal from ticks. It can be really serious. I get worse if i get bit more. Watch out for the tick ilnesses. Rocky mountain fever and alpha-gal are very common. You may already do this but keep liquid childrens benadryl around incase of an emergency allergic reaction to insects. It also helps stop the allergic reaction caused by alpha-gal until you can get to a hospital. Not trying to scare you but many people don't know about alpha-gal and go misdiagnosed. The property is beautiful. Praise God!

    I keep praying for your safety...I can't help but think of...well mainly all the dangers of living in the middle of nowhere, in a forest of trees as far as the eye can see. I'm sure you had wildlife and ticks at your other place, but bears? How will you go for your nature walks?

      They go on nature walks very loudly. Black bears do not like to be surprised but will run away if they hear you coming. I walk our mountain singing very loudly and loaded with bear spray and other personal protection.

    Oh my! Everything is so very beautiful. Please plant lots of lemongrass and mint, all around your property. It will run a lot of bugs mosquitoes etc away. I would put lots around the camper in pots too! I think it is good for ticks too. Better keep some essential oils on everyone including the dogs for ticks too. Be safe! Your place is awesome!

    Went through this about 19 years ago. Drive way only with a D-12 Cat was over $22,000. Never a regret. Drive way is over 1/4 mile (semi up hill). Live in East TN on 40 acres. Have deer, turkeys, and coyotes. Last Week we were standing in the drive way and behind my wife was a yearling bear. But a quick yell from wife sent him on his way. I'm 77 and wife is 74 but sitting on the porch and listening to just the birds and watching the deer and turkey is well worth all the troubles. Watching and welcome back to humanity. Get ready for the Realtors.

    Note: The wheels and jack are for leveling, run the wheels onto a leveler or piece of wood to level. The jacks are for stabilizing and can damage your camper if you level the camper with them. (Google it, or ask a RV repair shop.)
    I ran across your channel on what I assume was day one, when you were wondering if anyone would watch it. You have come a long ways. It looks so much better mowed, and even more so when you get some grass, but some snakes may not be happy... Moving to lithium iron is a great move. You will probably want to add a bit more solar though, even if putting them on the ground. I use portable ones. I am still charging mine with the RV charger when on shore power or generator which charges them to 80% which is a vast improvement, but will change the charger at some point, however we use solar more than shore power.
    Rocks offer a lot of possibilities from a fire pit, to using in building, or just decorating.

    I’m usually against chemicals but after multiple days being eaten alive by chiggers when working on my camper ( draining tanks etc) and finding ticks on us most visits, I happily use it , very successfully now.
    What a great adventure.

Check it out at a local farm shop, that way you are not having to get the tick's off you all the time. Love what Spence has done so far with the property , good luck with the oven & be careful out there, love all the wildlife you have caught on the land, good luck with the horse's Kenzie.

We thrive, we are designed to thrive in these conditions. As have trillions of previous human beings before us who have thrived in much more rugged environments than this.

    2 things.

So, we're not in the physical condition we use to be, so we can't work on our land as much as we'd like to.
    I'm not going to ask the city or county area, but what mountain state are y'all in. Just curious. I watched y'all build your home and property as y'all did it with the containers. Now I'm eager to watch y'all build your new mountain property.

    I'd definitely invest in an electric fence to keep your dogs in and the wildlife out. When you get space cleared and the driveway done I'd suggest a container that you can seal against rain and bugs to store wood. You will need plenty for the wood stove and campfires. If you get dried out properly and stored where bugs and snakes can't hide in it, you could probably store most of a winters wood in a container.
