Hey, you should have said, “Short but sweet video!!” Thanks for the link to the shade tarp. I spent much of last winter in Quartzite area and worked on using a tarp for shade, and it was a pain with magnets and polls and stuff….This looks like a great compromise. I can use the rare earth magnets on the van sides and put polls out there, and easy on and easy off for driving around. This looks like a much better solution than I was able to come up with for tarps….
I had to buy two of them and double them up to actually get a really good blocking of the sun. If the sun is hitting it directly, it lets quite a bit of sun through with only one layer.
@@JohnSmith-gq9gn I remember when nurseries 1st started using the “landscaper’s material” way back in the 70’s…that also still let a lot of light and heat thru. I really appreciate your headzup so I can think about that. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips Brian🤙 Hi Meadow❣️ Yeah sure wish we would get more than a 10 minute sprinkle of rain here in the Prescott area😅 You are a bit cooler than us for sure💯 Hope your back feels better soon. Sure hard doing things when it's hurting!!
Here in way too sunny southwest Florida I built trellises and framed overhead cover. Skeletons for the passion fruit vines. They are excellent shade now a year and a half later and they give lots of sweet fruit. Passion fruit might not work for you there but certain types of grapes might be used to give living cover. And food.
All the Right additions. Stayin cool , like stayin warm is def a learning curve. Hope yur back loosens up, i did the same thing monday while organizing my shed, took till thursday to get my strength back. Take er easy🤙🤙Be blessed Bro.
If you need cold water without electricity, and this would be a good RUclips short for you to make Brian, take a water bottle that's full of water and put it in a sock, then soak the sock. Tie the end of the water bottle and sock to some paracord, and then spin the water bottle as hard and as fast as you can for 3-5 minutes. This will drastically reduce the temperature of the water inside of the bottle.
Brian, my house will be 800 square ft. The the Sun will rise on the East side and set on the West. West is shielded by a carport and sun shades. East is open to full morning Sun. Should I build an awning on the East side in Prescott Valley to help reduce heat?
So sorry about your back. By chance , do you have a heating pad? I use one every morning for sciatica situation. Hot tub at night for relief...Feel Better....
I'm buying property in yavapai county and then make me put in a permit for solar on my house. The solar guys said to use a temporary system to begin with and then just permit the solar for the house.
Hiked the Camino French Way. Then headed over to Switzerland ride bike around Mount Blanc. (I’m cheap. Why pay twice for airfare 😂) No problems. Waiting at airport to head back, bent down to put shoes on..ugh! Thankfully I wasn’t in US so I could afford medical care/meds. Life☮️
Hey ease into exercises every morning that activates your body with light weights and repetitions, you probly already do that Lookin good bro. If you need some kratom for pain and recovery let me know. I fell off a mountain in Utah in 2012 and messed up my left knee, hip and back and spent 2 months in bed, and struggled till I found kratom and it made it all calm down and almost go away. I take it when I need it. It's on me bro. It's been tested for strength and heavy metals and it's tested really good . Do your due diligence and lemme know, peace out.
It's 100% natural and would be nice to have it around when you really need it. A level teaspoonful in water or juice offers the best absorbtion, it tastes bad but I chase it with water. Sometimes I take it everyday when I need it, sometimes I go long periods not needing it, it's not addictive IMHO. it helps me lead a full more productive life. In 25 minutes after drinking it, it's a miracle. I am a busy 67 years old... I am connected with a big importer in Houston who I accidentally met and he told me about it, I was so needing it. I did my research and got it, his stuff tests always potent and clean. It's the dried crushed leaf of a tree in the coffee family. Onward!!!
Cold pressed organic castor oil used topically is phenomenal for nagging pain. I rub it on me knee, back, and elbows, and it quits hurting, I rub it in under my eyes. wrinkles go away. And it has internal applications too.
Hope you feel better soon! Fire up the jacuzzi 👍
"When you get into your 40s 50s and work every day, you gotta keep your back in mind at all times." That's a quote from me
You are only as young as your spine is mobile

Thank you Dean!
Will be praying for You Brian and Meadow . Stay hydrated and rest ❤

@@BillWalker3rd Don't get me wrong, 1 definitely shades the sun but I wanted almost complete blockage, so it took two.
Hope your back gets better quick! Hugs to you and Meadow!
Hope you feel better soon
Hope you feel better soon 🙏. Great video 👍 lots of great ideas to keep Kool thanks 👍
We hope your back gets better. Never fun when you can't move like you're used to moving.
We use the personal neck fans that are adjustable while camping. It's great to help keep the bugs away from your face also.
We loved seeing the Bully Rake still getting a workout in the last video with the ground plant control. 😊 Best rake on the market!
Stay Cool!

It’s not to bad with a fan or a breeze Brian . Get one of those new room AC they been advertising lately. You and Meadow have a good day.
Thanks for the info Brian 👍
You bet man, hope your weekend has been a good one!
Good Afternoon Brian and meadow 🥰😍❤
Hey Brian. I see you stirred up that old injury again. Funny how a simple move can mess you up! Feel better.
Hope u feel better soon Brian. Have a great day.
♥ Love to you & Meadow! How you feel better soon. You work so hard at everything you do. Take care friend, Kaye

Good helpful tips and I hope you healed up my friend.
The shade Tarp!! Ordering that now.😊
Better get two. One still lets a lot of sun through.
Hope you get feeling better. Oh-that hat needs a wash or replacement!
I'm in south Alabama and we've been baking in the sun.
I heard the South is getting clobbered with heat and humidity. I hope that lightens up for you soon!
Put some cooling tube's in about 6 ft deep 30 foot long trench for the Tower project.

That sounds like a cool idea! I plan to try this out soon. Thanks for the info!
Dr Stuart McGill is the best source of information for strength and stability of the back. Highly recommend the McGill big three everyday

Ide dig an under ground room for days when it’s to hot to be out in the heat or you need a place to go cool down for a bit !?!?
That would be fantastic. Old school vegetable/canning cave.
👍👍👍
Put an old wet blanket on roof of rv….. evaporative cooling….
So sorry about your back. By chance , do you have a heating pad? I use one every morning for sciatica situation. Hot tub at night for relief...Feel Better....
What about swamp coolers?! I was told arizona is famous for them.
When the humidity goes up they don't work very well.
Hey dumb question. Did az harass you about the solar panels? I want to do my own system and they are saying a person has to apply for a permit!
I'm buying property in yavapai county and then make me put in a permit for solar on my house. The solar guys said to use a temporary system to begin with and then just permit the solar for the house.
Just started solar off grid living...
Have 720 watts of solar...can I run a AC Unit off of car battery
, ouch ! Back issues , & u don't need to aggravate that area ! take a Chill !👍🥶
Isn’t that the way w/ backs … just doing nothing and pop ! Hope you feeling better asap.

I will remove this after you answer back. Not trying to spam your channel.

Just discovered that
I can totally understand back problems.......Get some rest
Brian rewatch some of your videos. I noticed the way you bend. Not good. Bend at the knees bro.
Looks like that old hat needs to be retired
Nah, it's too comfy!
