Everything you want to burn is still ''green'' or too wet to burn. Best off to pile it up and chip it. The chips will rot and break down and add nutrients back to the soil. I kinda like the other comments on buying an enclosed trailer or possibly a shipping container. Gives you somewhere to store the tools.

I would vote on burning to save on time and money. And im sure a lot of the wood you have you can make piles that you can save to use when camping or for burning in an stove. You dont have to burn everything just to clear it. In the summer I imagine it could be real nice to go camping with the family on the land and make an fire, make some S'mores and hot dogs on the fire 😃

I would wait for a good base of snow to burn not sure if you get much snow were you are anyway the road will have to be taken down to sub soil hopefully clay base and then build up with pit run a larger rock and topped off with gravel to get away from the mud , anyway you are making a lot of progress so keep going .

Burn. Chipping is going to leave you chips which later you will have to also deal with when grading etc. also agree shipping container. Also, you could go with those uber professionals from the late 80’s…Beavis and Butthead and burn burn huh huh burn.

@17:30 Oh man, hauling stuff back and for to a property gets old fast. I'm currently in the process of getting a shipping container onto my land so that I can have a place to store my stuff. At least around me, you can get them for a couple thousand. For your burn vs. chip question, unless you're getting a really nice chipper like the arborists have, burning is SO much faster.

4:28 no it didn't sound right but it was hilarious lol. Looks like it's time for a small trailer. Burning doesn't damaged dirt. Burn it instead of wasting money on equipment. Maybe start socking away money for a grader and gravel? Just an idea.

Love the spirit. Since it seems you may not have decided upon the final spot for the house, before going much further my advice is to consider retaining a civil engineer. You can interview a few and get proposals from each before deciding. The civil engineer would walk the site with you and suggest locations of the house. In addition, the engineer would draft a site plan that you may need down the road. A site plan would contain certain critical elements including proposed location of house, drilled water well, septic system and storm water management. Rooting for you!

Thank you for that info Tim! Is that the same as a permaculture engineer? It sounds like it may be similar and my wife and I are talking about getting one out there.
@timhegarty621 Сағат бұрын
There is some overlap but permaculture is more about sustainability. If the town engineer is friendly, I would recommend chatting with them about your goals (best part is that those conversations are at no cost to you). I have received some great information that way - sometimes they will even recommend certain civil engineering firms that have good reputations for what you may need. Your wife’s friend Matt sounds like a great resource too. Strongly recommend you take him to a nice lunch to pick his brain. You are still in first inning so gathering as much solid information from others with experience will deliver big dividends later. Best of luck!

My advise is ultimately be close to an area you really love. Even if your piece of land is 20 minutes out, you still have an area that has everything you need and want. I know the further west you go in Virginia that land is cheaper but the towns are more scarce and it’s a more mountainous area.

@RuggedHaven I think it's important for people to understand that the quicker they get out of debt or don't get in it to begin with the more freedom you feel. But when bare land costs what a starter home cost back in the day, I understand how unreasonable it is to obtain land without a loan. Downside to my approach is it may take many many years to obtain the land then start working it. Time is money and money is time. Good luck with your homestead. Seems like you've got a good plan.

I bought 10 acres here in Arkansas 4 years ago on a much smaller budget. One thing is for sure, after having lived out here for all this time and developing the property all by myself, I could never go back to city living. I'm sure I could sell my property now and turn a big profit, enough to buy a nice house, however, after having tasted this much freedom and way of life, I could never never do it. Raising animals, growing your own food, waking up and seeing no one around you, is worth more to me than the comforts of life. I wish you well in your journey.

And then use coloured string / rope with some steaks in the ground to plot out the whole entrance way and everything instead of just guessing. Could really give you a clear sense of what it could become and then go from there. Also, not sure if you have a drone but could be useful too. All the best.
