So why are you telling us this just go do it? I don’t think it’s fair to your kids. I hope you two are straight a students to teach or brain wash your children, but they’re still gonna miss out on social skills sports they might have liked to have played or experienced, etc.. so your Social Security check will be small so you better hope your place is sustainable.

Thank you for sharing all this. I lived in tucson and we harvested prickly pear fruit and made jam. I gained so much appreciation and respect of ancient people who processed these without our modern tools and kitchen gadgets! Im new to northern az and im not sure we have them this far north but ill be on the look!

What a coor wringer. I recall one being behind my grandparents house but not sure if i ever witnessed it in use.

What in the world is blood meal? Also just as a polite comment: nice hair color.

Did you guys get a good deal on the kit?

After presenting to nurse prac. with severe dehydration (which she completely ignored & instead doubled my diuretic 🧐) 2 weeks ago I realized I was on my own & started drinking lots of water (approx. 2 quarts, so half a gallon + taking a daily electrolyte capsule & btw I'm an elderly stroke victim, so have lots of issues to mitigate). I first noticed (besides peeing) lower blood pressure, loss of joint pain (even the arthritis in my hands!), beautiful skin tone, better sleep, clearer thinking/focus, clearer sinuses, etc. What I was hoping to find someone talking about was what I guess are "detox effects"? I did experience a little more edema at first, but it's starting to resolve (slowly), but now I'm just not feeling good, super tired & taking several naps/day, so that's why I was wondering if maybe I'm having some sort of detox effect? I came into this severely dehydrated, so it would make sense that my body would be flushing some stuff out now that it has the water to do so?

Congrats to the "off" family

May I ask what area of AZ you are beginning your homestead? We are considering a relocation to eventually do the same. Currently looking in Cochise. Would love to hear your thoughts and what area or county you all decided for. Blessings on your new venture and family <3

Good stuff! If you don’t mind me asking, in what county is your property? I’ve been growing a lot of Mesquite, Palo Verde and Desert Willow from seed and wishing I was going to plant them on my homestead in AZ. I’m in the eastern part of San Diego hoping to one day do as you have done. What an adventure! How far away is good healthcare? Anyway, I’m going to sub and watch your journey from, I’m guessing, a couple hundred miles away 😂.

I don't know how close you are to that river but look into a ram pump and you can pump water right up to where you need it without using electricity. You can build them yourself for cheap and get everything you need to build one at the hardware or big box store

Milk goats are ok but me and my family prefer sheep milk and cheese over goat and the meat is better too. In my opinion of course. Good luck.

Great to be excited I have built a homestead myself 80k rain water reservoir 10k rain roof 3 sheds 2400 sf adobe house I would slow down on everything besides water and house You will want to leave that camper some day and priority is water first second house then everything else. Just a chef’s opinion ? Why aren’t you using the river water??

On our ranch they added extra height to the garden fence by weaving fishing line nets to keep out the deer. I used to raise nigerian dwarf goats in cornville. Sadly they were all lost when oakcreek flooded. Nubian milk is gross in my opinion. Go w la manchas if you want full sized goats. I advise you to taste milk and have your kids taste it as well to be sure you will enjoy drinking it before accepting a breed. You can get a donkey or 2 as livestock gaurdians, we have 2. Thanks for sharing your homestead❤

Milk goats are AWESOME! Nubian were my go to when I had them.

The milk goat sounds like a great idea. My friends had 3 children and one goat in milk (2 goats overall) gave enough milk for them all. Goats also are happy to eat lots of scrubby plants that cows can't manage; they are good in desert-y areas. Suggest you try to taste milk from whatever breed you are considering because some taste goatier than others. So glad I found your channel; it is inspiring watching how you are developing your land. Thank you.

A desert with a river. Very lucky

Enjoyed the tour and project updates. It’s fun and interesting to watch your progress. Thanks 🌵☀️ Your Tucson neighbor

Enjoy watching Don't let your dogs get in your compost with the coconut stuff because it smells like chocolate to dogs but it will kill them

nice vid. would you share name of creek/river?

The screen for rhe coop is called hardware cloth and it works brilliantly I used it on my 14' x 15' coop.

This is what I hope for one day. The ability to care for others, but care for myself...

I didn’t think anything would grow under mesquite trees. Is that not correct?

Well done !

Thanks for the updates, my backyard is open to desert, we get ALL the animals too. (on my channel). Even tho we arent "homesteaders", We are thankful for our active Sonoran desert. Best wishes - Dino,,, EDIT- Crazy temps, weve been hitting 110 -113 at the end of Sept, not normal.

I love it how your boys are being allowed to be normal boys growing up ❤

We love goats

Great update. You guys have a lot going on. I love the swells around the trees, those are working out nicely

How wonderful having that river close by, free bathing and just cooling off

Goats should be good for you guys

Just found you. Im in skull valley az.

Shovel

Good choice my friend 🙏 Take care of the earth she will take care of you. The deserts will green soon enough. That is if the scourge of MAN doesn't try to dominate out there too.

Look how Tiny shiny does laundry.

Saw Mexicans in Sugerland using jackhammer and a shovel. 1990
