  • Off-grid with a newborn turned out to be a little trickier than we planned, especially with this summer's intense temperatures. On top of that, our son Max has clubfoot, and so we've been doing the full Ponseti Treatment since mid-July. I am just in awe of how well he's doing with the whole experience. He always has a smile on his face and is the sweetest and most patient baby, but it does mean that mama and papa are a little tired from weekly doctors appointments that are 90 minutes away, plus a recent surgery, so we cherish our family time in the wall tent is even more now.
    In this video, Lou sets up a lot of new systems to make our tiny home more comfortable. We get a massive laundry line, INTERNET, a gravel pit for the shower, and a cozy campfire setup. This is just the start and we have so many plans for this homestead!
    Thank you so much for all your support over the past few months. It's been an incredibly special time for our family, and making these videos to share these precious moments with you makes me happier than I can express.
    Big hugs,
    Dana

So I have watched a lot of your videos from the start, travels, wedding, boat and Hawaii. We are vegan too so I will be looking into your cookbook. Lou you are very talented, Freya is gorgeous, Max is so cute. You are great baby and dog parents.

  • @deniseolmstead6415

    A bear fence, bear spray and a firearm for protection would be the first thing I'd do. A wall tent is not protective against a bear and all the cooking you'll be doing is going to attract them at some point, even if food is put away. Their noses guide them and if they are hungry enough, or even just curious, they can be a serious threat. I would not be putting my infant is a situation like that without a lot of bear protection. The tent is fabulous otherwise! Such an amazing job Lou did!

    I’d suggest getting an electric bear fence around the tent, they shouldn’t be more than $200-300 and they’re quite easy to setup and take down in case you’d prefer to just have it up during the nights!

    Plant lavender around the wall tent. Mosquitoes hate lavender. You can also use lavender oil. Put your urine in a jar and pour it on your property perimeter of your property near the wall tent (do this weekly) the animals around your wood areas will stay clear out of fear. You can also do this about 10-15 from your veggie garden if you dont have a fence around it.

    • @kbc1883

    Fellow woodland dweller here! I definitely recommend looking into a charged fence around the living area. It's only a matter of time before a curious bear, raccoon, or something else makes it's way to the tent. Freyja may keep them at bay with her barks for now but a dog won't be able to stop a black bear from coming inside of that structure. I also have retrievers and shepherds, they're the best but I've also had one attacked by a bear and it's absolutely terrible. Your home is so beautiful and I can't wait to witness all the beautiful memories your little family shares with us! Bless you and stay safe out there 💚

    You two are intelligent, well read and you do your research. I am sure you’ve looked into wildlife & safety in your area. Freya can be an early warning system, but not a protector. A provoked black bear or a pack of coyote could kill her. Remember that a bear will be attracted to Max’s dirty diapers and your vegetation waste. The famous bears of Cannon Mountain (NH) are attracted to the blueberries, not meat. They are omnivorous and will become more assertive as it gets closer to hibernation time. Be safe, we love you guys!

  • @SherryAnnOfTheWest
    @SherryAnnOfTheWest 2 года назад +6

    Yes ... anything with an aroma (food, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.) can draw bears!!! There are some low-voltage "bear fences" people use to tent camp in bear country --- I really think it would be a great investment for that little bit extra insurance! You just string the wire around whatever area you want to "protest" and it's fairly temporary if you want it to be --- Bears require a minimum of 5,000 to 7,000 volts of electricity to be deterred-depending on the species and the bear's level of experience.
    I guess another thing you could do is build/install a bear box like they have in campgrounds to keep some food and also your trash. That would help deter raccoons and other critters as well. Places like Tahoe Bear Box Company sell them for you to build/install on your property and even have trash lock-ups as well.
    I hope Max is responding well to treatments ... my son was born with Hip Dysplasia and wore a harness 24/7 (I bought an extra one beyond what the insurance provided so we could always have a clean one) and his problem corrected in 3 months instead of the 9-10 months the doctors predicted. He's 30 now ... never had any issues.

We started an off grid life back in 2017 and our first child came 9 months later and we had to put a lot on hold because children take everything out of you. Kids are your priority and all the boutique off grid things start to take a serious back seat.

    BEARS???...SORRY TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD , MY COUSIN HAD A BLACK BEAR RIP HIS CAR DOOR OPEN TO GET AT A BAG OF CHIPS...THE WALL TENT IS VERY NICE, BUT NO MATCH FOR A HUNGRY BEAR...I HOPE YOU AT LEAST HAVE BEAR SPRAY. THE ADVENTURE IS GREAT BUT WHATS MORE IMPORTANT THAN RUclips VIDEOS IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL 8 MONTH OLD BABY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

    This is such a cool idea but I cant help to feel like you guys are very vunerable without a fence keeping the wildlife out. Have you thought of putting a tall, strong, bear proof fence up? It also wouldn't be a bad idea to get Freya a friend and being a social animal, it would make her happier and you guys even more safe ❤

    I love watching your amazing videos and you are doing an amazing job. a yurt would work. It took me and friend 4 days to put one up and I live in the UK with a separate wooden hut where the kitchen and bathroom and office area. my site is totally off-grid. I put two sleeping pods wooden on either end of the yurt and worked really well. I was born with a few health issues and two club feet now adult in the '40s and I manage really well with day-to-day chores on the holding and two self-employed jobs and I drive a manual car too. Anything is possible and there is always a way to get around life's challenges. I hope you are all together soon as a family.

    Maybe a good idea to at least build a little bear proof room under the plate form with trap door in the floor so if a bear show up in the middle of the night you can all go through the floor into a safe room. Or something like that.

    We camped in Yellowstone national park with bears, we always locked our food in the car at night. Someone who left their cooler at the campsite during the day, it was ripped into. They also had bear proof trash cans. Be careful. I would have a firearm, people do in Alaska.

  • @ps4peace
    @ps4peace 2 года назад +1

    Bears smell & find a tiny tube of chap stick, break into a car for a stick of gum etc. Add in smells from a sink, bits from what you think is an an empty can or lids not tight on jars, spilled juices on the wood/floor, spit up on dirty baby clothes, etc. you're vulnerable - agree with the bear fence, sprays, etc.
    Good deal that you already put out trail camera's to know what is in the area. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

    As a lot of others have pointed out an electric fence plus bear spray/other deterrent will be a good idea I think given you have seen bears in the area. Doesn’t even have to be when you are there, could just come by when you left and destroy stuff :)

    Clothesline tip! If you get a few clothesline spacers it will take some of the tension off the line and also keep the items farther from the ground. It’s great when you have larger items like sheets. Wonderful video as always!!

      @@benjigirl1971 Hi there! It does actually, my mom uses the system and it works great. You clip on a few items to the clothesline and when it gets heavy and starts to sag you attach a spacer that has wheels and can rope along the top and bottom as they’re going in different directions, then you can add more items and so on. A lot of the Amish and Mennonite community close to where I grew up in upstate NY use it.

    Please,please take the bear issue seriously. Put a bear fence around your area. A couple lost their baby by a bear pawing thru the tent right where the baby slept.The bear knew exactly where that baby was. Don't want to scare you just be smart. Never walk away from the tent and leave the baby unattended.God Bless
