Great video ! Subscribed !

Great video Greg and family - keep them coming.

And you even make gyros from scratch? ♥️

Why must the wood chips be made of pine instead of cedar?

Beautiful horses. But this is so wrong. Im sure there are better ways to break a horse and get so much better results.

Looks like you have an Ashland cookstove - how did you decide to go with that brand? Thanks for your videos.

there just like children if you dont teach them the way to be they will be the way that suits them

Good day from Ont. Canada . Back i n middle 80's we bought mare from Amish She was not broke either, but couple yrs later she had a colt we were going to hitch. We had played so much with colt that went we hitch mare took more of a fit that colt. Thanks that was quite funny when kicked out of side.

Never had that touch, horses & dogs aren't my strong point.

Was thst Bugs Bunny bathing in that kettle? XD

A lot quieter than tractors

The Amish and mennonites use those regularly.

I just LOVE those big horses. They are so BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Really neat to see you training Zeus, he is a gorgeous horse. take care!

I can't believe some people think you know what you're doing. You're a complete idiot. That's how people and horses get hurt or killed. If you don't have a better handle on you're horse you've got no business putting a harness on him.

That can get scary! I wouldn't want to be cranking that handle, hoping that horse doesn't decide to take off... No emergency brake!

I’ve never seen such a bad way to break a horse till now, by far the worst 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the nice video of new life on the farm

A hard but simple and good life, God bless

He can't see what's beside nor behind and he hears a racket of metal clanging, I'd be a bit on edge as well.

In Deutschland Nennt man die Dinger " Wurstkessel" oder " Schlachtkessel"

Pffff only 2 hp.

what about a garden hose ??????????????

Partner if you would put a horse like this in a pen and gently sack him with a lariat rope for 30 min he will stand for the harness. Safer for you , less stress for the horse.

Very cool, but how much of electric can make?

Great steed

I am puzzled as to why you have chosen to so strongly criticise a couple who completely walked the talk. The reason there are drawings in the book is because John's wife was an artist! John brought up his family on the land and ran his small holding successfully until he was almost 90.

I grew up in the 80's on a 5ac attempted homestead. My parents learned the hard way exactly what you talk about in this video. Most books on the subject are theory not proven practices. Some of best books about being self sufficient and living off the land I've encountered are the Foxfire series thats been produced over the years. Check em out if youre not familar. Lots of great stuff in them on plain living. Full of pictures, not illustrations.

Loved the video, but I would like to know why your harness is in pieces? The horsemen I have known keep the hames attached to the back pad, and place the entire harness on the horse all at once.(p.s., that tail piece is called a crupper)

I have one also and love it.

Beautiful video. Looking forward to the book.

Looks like an awesome lifestyle

Yeah! Take out those little suckers before they can even grow! :)

tough one

The other horse - NO! Go that way!!! Nooooo not that way!!!! Let me move stupid! The stallion - GET THIS DANG THING OFF ME. What am I supposed to do!!!???? WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE IMMA KILL YA ALL

Hey kid..this is how you cheat when dad isn't looking....garden hose

Looks like the same corn planter we had on our farm, and used every year without any troubles, well made equipment.

That was enjoyable!

I'd like to see someone design a rocket stove water heater. A 1000 gallon PE water tank at top of a 40 - 60' tower with a 300 sq' water collection roof, some tubing and we're ready to roll!

While this method may have worked in this case, I wouldn't recommend it. Desensitizing the horse to the harness definitely should come before the hitching, he was relatively cooperative, but he could kick over the traces, jump over the pole, and cause a lot more trouble. Hitching up with an older experienced horse is, of course, a good approach. With a bit more patience we might get more dependable horses!

That's how my mom and I used to do it. We also had a wood and glass washboard for single items.

Questions, did you make this? can you buy something like this? if you made it how would one cost? can you drive the washing machine agitator with either a gas powered lawn mower motor or use a bicycle for people power?

Where can I get the wood fired tank????

What's the solution you're cleaning the potatoes in??

Love it sir!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!

fire under a bathtub on bricks works too!

Great tank but you should have your water catchment from roof going directly into it

hmmmmmmmmmm i prefer my maytag?

Greetings from off grid Oregon. You have a beautiful place. I like the wood stove. We are off grid and we do cook with wood but only in the winter. Right now there is a 200,000 acre wild fire 3 miles from our house. Needless to say nobody cooks with wood July through September around here. We get 100" of rain and 5 feet of snow in a normal year but no rain June through September. So we cook with our solar power on a daily basis and with propane if we need the oven. Our stove is wood and propane fired. We heat with wood 8 to 9 months a year. We have gravity feed water and a solar power. Are you off grid? Thanks for the beautiful video.

Fantastic!

Just found your channel. Love it. It's great to teach your kids to work hard. Keeps them out of trouble. I'll remember this. I would only save the grey water for the garden or run it through a large charcoal bed. Anyway I get the drift and I'm so happy I found this channel. Thank you!
