Gotta say dude, you really hit it perfectly with the property. I love what you are going to do and the future potential it gives you! Looking forward to some more homesteading!
Oh and for the rats... Any of the neighbors have any outdoorr kittys or some feral kitties in the area? Farm cat style.
Maybe just remove the brush and save the limbs for burning…..will the brush burn now?? Oh yah, you need a permit!
What is with the rv dump stations ?
Yep kitties. They love to hunt. My cat lives for the hunt 💯. Is Eric making a camp ground? It looks like it😸😺😺😺😺
Eric, your property is looking so awesome! I am catching up with you all after losing my neices' daughter. She was murdered. It has been a terrible time for us. Watching you all helps! Mari
Maybe putting sturdy metal mesh into engine compartment ? Rodents can still crawl under ?
It's looking good. I suggest adding more dirt to build up roads & lot then add surface rock. When the land floods from the massive rain storms were starting to get .
And build a 15-foot mound of dirt to set a cabin . For a good view.
@truthtalker4038 Not really, just scrap back gravel and add fill dirt. Move the KFC drive thru, build up land, and add KFC back , only with a nice view of the desert.
I'm just kidding about the drive thru.
So, whatcha doing in your spare time 🥳. I'm tractoring!!! The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!! Hope viewers are noticing the sooo beautiful sky. Continued best wishes as you improve your property. Travel safely.😎🌅🐈🐈⬛
Well Eric I seen a difference in you now that things are coming together you seem more cheerful and your mojo back keep it up your doing great
Looking clean and more organized.
WOW!! Eric base camp looks amazing!!! You are really making some progress. Thanks for the Bonus Tour at the end!!
Used electricution traps - consider using electrified metal screen to be placed under the complete engine compartment geometry. Really smart to draw a property map - Specific, Measurable, Resourced, Tangible and Timely goals.
Traos are not the only thing that works! Pack Rats will not travel more than 100 to 120' from cover. I live south of you, and I cleared at least 100' around my structures and vehicles. Zero pack rats or mice.
Your Homestead is looking amazing, Eric. Your progress is taking shape. 😊
property is loooking great Eric! amazing progress and awesome to see how much your life has changed over the years!
Put a small fence around your camper and let the cats stay overnight under the R.V. 😊
I like how your channel has evolved. Really great to watch you at the property.
Set a couple of those traps under your unit. Maybe you can get them before they come up to the engine compartment.
I sure appreciated the drive at the end. Well done, Eric 👍👍
Put Vicks vapor rub or peppermint oil it will deter the rats and mice
The compound is looking great!
The property is looking really nice. It is going to be a nice comfortable place for you and your gest to stay. 👍
Wow!! Very cool. You have done a lot of work in a short time. Great to have friends and equipment. Really looks nice. What a deal on the solar!! 🙂👍
Hey man - to help keep the rats out of your van, get a spray bottle with about 16oz of plain water and mix in about 40-50 drops of peppermint oil. Spray over the engine bay and anywhere you don't want them. Will have to repeat to maintain the effect, but not sure how long it'll last in your climate.
I would never let you drive a tractor of mine. The way you were whipping those levers was insane..LOL. Anywhoo the property is coming along great. keep on Keeping on...
I like that opening of the property layout, you sure can get a lot on that one acre.
You don't need any exercise equipment now.
You need another resident snake to help you out with those rodents~
You found a great partner in your endeavors with Danny.
I must have missed how you two got together?
Property is going to be great!!! I was considering doing this here in Florida. Having around 2 acres and making several campsites. Can't wait for more!!!
❤❤❤❤ Hello Sweetheart and kitties!!! Everything is looking Awesome Honey!!! If I could travel I would enjoy visiting your home place. Yes Honey only with permission. And I would allow you to do a back ground check and meet you and the kitties where ever you like. But I guess my thoughts will never be. So I guess you can say well thats one ole gal I do not have to worry about. Lol❤❤❤ I do enjoy your videos. And Thank You so much for bring me along. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Look up peppermint extract mixed with water. Spray that in your wheel wells and engine, underside of the hood, bumper, etc.
Purchase peppermint oil, mix with water, and put in a spray bottle. Spray over and under the engine compartment. I refresh the application about every 3 months. I also do not spray electrical connections. Keeps squirrels, rats, and mice out of your engine compartment. They hate the smell.
You’ve got two cats holed up in the RV! Let them out- critter problem will go away!
Build a garage to keep the mice out
Wow, that's awesome progress! The sound repeller might need to face the problem area. High frequency sound tends to be directional. And yeah, tractors are awesome. It's surprising how much they can beat you up.
You’ve got quite the little campground there!❤
Wow, big progress. It looks awesome Eric.
I just got my first van/suv type vehicle today and I can't wait to hit the road (vlogging w/my cat coming soon!) Thanks for the inspiration tips and tricks...so excited!
Maybe after the excavating the varmints will find new homes that are not in your engine.
On your rat problem, they leave a scented trail. So you may have to find a cleaner spray to disturb it
That 💩 is coming along good, it's looking pretty good so far, despite him leaving the Caps off of the white water tanks, that was an error on his part 😉
Mix some concentrated peppermint oil with water in a spray bottle and spray the areas you want them repelled. It works for me.
For us as well. You just have to ‘refresh’ it often
Wow man, what an inspiration. If you build it, they will come! Excellent.
In case you have not tried this for your pack rat and/or pest control, try this. Put Moth Balls not flakes under and around the rv perimeter or whatever you want protcted once a year.
Have a nice day
Curt and Joy from Pa.
I know it sure keeps cats away from using a yard for their bathroom. Question is, can the humans take the smell. I couldn't and gave up. It's also worked for someone in Phoenix whose yard and house were over run with scorpions. They'd find upwards of 10-15 a day! Moth balls worked like a charm. 🚫🦂
You need some Ferrell outdoor cats not only will they take care of the rats but they will also take care of any snakes on the property
I had the same problem so I got 2 cats. We shortly thereafter sold the rv and kept the cats. Haha
That seems like more than 1 acre - super nice!
GOOD MORNING BEAST NOMADIC FANTASTIC ERIC JAX RUclips VIDEO 🐈🐈
Hi Eric. Listen, maybe a few spread-out mouse traps placed on the ground, UNDER the the engine compartment? Those critters easily can jump up from the bottom and enter any small space…and chew the lower wires. Def keep the traps on the top of the engine, but I would think doing a double-duty on the ground level just might do the trick.
Looks amazing, well done for all your hard work and tenacity.
Jiffy Muffin mix and baking soda. No more rodents. Trust me Eric. RUclips it
Jiffy Mix cornbread mix..is best !
I'd be interested in hearing your experience on the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of spraying your rig weekly with peppermint oil. Seems that you have the ideal test conditions. But, I agree with you. Keep the traps set whether you choose to try peppermint oil or not.
Peppermint oil for the win-- it works, spray once a week and no more issues.
Pretty common in the overland world.
Try a bucket style trap, using a wood dowel and soapy water, it can catch a dozen rodents in one night. They must climb the tire to get inside so setting it up anywhere by a front tire could be enough
Have you tried peppermint oil (40 drops in a spray bottle full of water) to keep the rats out? How about Pine-Sol?
Hey What's going on Eric That's some amazing things happening their So proud of you man and the solar wow what a deal
Love you Eric, just part of me wishes that Jax, would have finally seen this homestead, I still cry over him passing to this day, I see that you still sport the Jaxzilla shirt, man I miss him but I can't imagine how bad, you miss him 😭
Me to! :/
Jax needs a "Memory Garden" at the homestead.
@@Glenn_AE6YTYou know what, that is a a freaking awesome ideal , now that you say that I think that would be fitting , that would be awesome to have a garden for him 👍💯
@@Glenn_AE6YTI really miss Jax, he was the partial reason I watched Eric, I fell in love with Jax, this was years ago when Eric first came out 👍
@@Larry-rz4ed I've been following since he was half-way home with the black van that CVK gave him. I'm also a cat dad, and I loved their affection and interaction with each other.
The Tator Tot tour at the end was great! Keep up the developing work.
looking good, great update!!!
Are there restrictions on which plants you're allowed to cut down? In Australia, we have very strict regulations for which native trees and shrubs we're allowed to remove. Most properties also have what they strangely call a "building envelope". By that, they mean an allocated area of the block of land that the property owners are allowed to build on.
This makes me want a small piece of property somewhere!
2 suggestions with your rodent problem.
1. Set your traps on the ground by your tires. Putting them under the hood literally attracts them up into your engine compartment.
2. I know you love your cats, but throw them outside and their presence and natural mouse catching abilities will amaze you! Take their food and start feeding them outside. Leave them outside, day and night!
You can mix jiffy cornbread mix with equal parts of baking soda n put around in cans. Works. Very well.
This absolutely works. Rats thought my chicken feed was an open buffet. I kept putting out the mixture on a reg basis ( baby rats are born every 21-24 days) to get ahead of the old rats and ahead of any new ones being born.
Is it a deterrent or something let's say, more .... final?
Instead of the cat scent, try spraying peppermint oil or extract under your hood. Try it.
Looking good Eric. I know lots of work on a lot. We have been working over 2 years. How long you staying at the home site before hitting the rode. We be at Daytona Bike week again. We arrive in Mid February in Florida.
Mothballs absolutely work for me. Good luck 🐀
Do u think by disturbing ground could b causing rodents to look for warmer areas or wiring for food??
Do you have any idea about the kind of creature that would inhabit the wood pile?
The only thing left to try Eric is lollypopping the trees like CVK has done on his property.
Hello from Germany 😊
Hello
Welcome
Cool!!😎 Are you taking reservations yet?😄 I am kidding, but it looks like it will be a great set up for you and your guests.
I can't believe it's been a year already, you have done so much Eric, Well Done Mate.
If you are interested in a tractor look into the Summit tractor. In 2024 they are to get a cab for it . Good luck and I hope this helps
You obviously need Big Siamese outdoor cats. We had open hangars and vast Ranch buildings. Outdoor Male Siamese patrolled the whole place.
~Montana Fan
I think they worry all the coyotes will get the cats.
@@shibalover54 these apex rodent control are working animals if you get the right ones, I would worry about the coyotes. If you don't get patrolling cats quit whining about rats.
Use the Rocks underground to level your spot and level up your watertank as high as possible.
Good for you Eric, well done! We have 6 acres in Tenino and it’s fun putting in the work and seeing the changes.
Place is coming together very nice.
Are you making your property into a RV Campground? Ask because so many Rv campsites. And are you renting them out to people?
Where is your Puppy? Land looking good.
Your property looks great. We have palm rats in Florida they chew the motorhome wiring underneath and cause a lot of damage. I opened the hood of my truck and they were building a nest between the heat blanket and the hood. I opened it and they ran out. Big rats too.
Where has the time gone! Is seems like maybe 6 months since you purchased the lot. It is looking really good. Glad you are including your friends with the camping areas. Have a Blessed week!
I posted that a guy on RUclips said to get them mix same amounts of corn meal and baking soda . It's safe for animals but not for mice and rats.
You’ve come a long way from that flooded tiny house in Illinois! Congrats! The property is taking shape.😊
Have you tried peppermint extract? I've had good luck with DoTerra brand extract to keep rodents away. A few drops on cotton balls, and place them strategically around under the rig and under the hood. good luck!
I'm so happy for you! ☺👍💖
Looks real good Eric glad to see you having fun
Looking good Eric. maybe them back rats where living in that tree you cut down out front.
Wow, you’ve accomplished a lot in 1/3 of a year! It’s looking great. You must be very pleased.
It’s looking really nice there👍
It is coming along so nicely. I knew that it would. Love from S. California.
Nice miniature camping park.
Looking good Eric, you should be proud! You know, not trying to make you sad, but occasionally I watch one of your older videos so I can hear Jax meow at the end…
To get rid of the pack rats try concealing all of your food and cat food , any type of food that is left out to where they can smell it will attract them , I'd try putting any food type items in plastic tubs with sealed lids or in refrigerator..
This worked for me .
Oh and spreader boards can add a certain flavour to the end product.
So happy for you!😊
Put Them under the rv
You could rent spots at your Nomadic Fanatic RV Campground.😊
build a lil corregated iron fence round the motorhome should keep the rats out. 1 m high should do it
Find their home. Usually a high concentration of twigs and branches. Put poison at their den.
I’m sure you already started but it would be cool to raise up the solar array so you could have covered storage or a garage type area
Great update...accomplished alot in a few. enjoyed the ending. nice smart car tour..
You think rats will kinda settle down, when you finish clearing trees and after all the brush you’ve cut is hauled off?
I hope so!
@@nomadicfanatic No doubt the rats were in the trees cut down, now they will live in the brush pile, so next is moving the brush pile. The trees being trimmed looks hundred times better, more open and spacious looking.
Very nice !!!Way too go Eric!!! If people come to your property and camp can they put their black hose right into the tank??
Good call on the homesteading!
Have you tried peppermint oil for the rat problem? I use it around my van and have no problems.
Spray peppermint essential oil in your engine compartment (even on a rag) as rats hate that smell as shown on YT vids. I would spray the ground around the RV. If rats eat bay leaves it kills them too.
Baking soda and cornmeal in a container away from Rv. Wondering if the peanut butter in traps is not bringing them to traps?
How about lights on the ground pointing up.....like the round patio lights that come with a ground stake... Walmart has them. I use them when in the desert rv parks in and around Bouse.
Try to use peppermint and keep everything clean.
