WE CHOSE TO ABANDON OUR HOMESTEAD (For Now 😉)

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We enjoyed our much needed break from the mud but are so excited to be back up at the property. Want to see what we're up to now? 🚨 kzbin.info/www/bejne/inypgJufgq-AfKM

Use an old lawn mower for an easy rope tow, has multiple speeds, etc

[@richardtullius6419]

I’m going through some tuff times, emotionally, watching you guys makes me forget all my problems. You guys just make me feel good all over. I love to see young lovers enjoying life. Keep the videos coming.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

If there’s ever anything we could do, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

[@terrymoser2028]

I am with you!

[@erichuggins09]

You two are a model for how life should be lived. Enjoy all that you guys do. ♥

[@AmbitionStrikes]

😊

[@dmwi1549]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@norcoredneck]

Great to see you take a break from the grind. My wife and I are retired and live in Southern Utah. We have an adventure day once a week. We pack up a lunch and head out. It keeps life exciting.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That sounds like a wonderful routine!

[@davidclark2286]

King size duvet. I eased the problem by adding ties on inside of cover and quilt. And tie them togeather. My original idea was pressstuds but I did not have any. Ties On each corner and mid way top and bottom, and two on each of the long sides. Planning on extending it at home so I can colour code the mid tie, bottom on cover and both end on quilt so I no mix up the different sizes.

Your Labrador with the pink nose is called a "Dudley". Mine had pink around the eyes were some don't.

You need black foam Pipe to put around your existing pipes and add electric wire heater to be sure they don’t freze the water pipes

[@ericbutterfield8793]

I grow up in Challis and went skiing at lost trail many times.

[@ThunderJarvis]

You were in my old stomping grounds of Idaho. The Salmon River was in my back yard. Miss it so much. Now I’m Living in your old stomping grounds near SLO. Haha Love your channel and I hope you guys open your shop up to creative off-road builds when you get all set up. Like putting snow tracks on Ford Raptors and playing in the snow. 👍😎

[@MegaBarefoot1]

That whole stretch is some of the best roadside hot springs ever. Not too far from where my oldest son is right now. Enjoy!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

There are SO many of them. A few weren't quite hot enough to enjoy but they were still fun to explore.

[@Daleejr08]

Aaaannnddd a Ska Brewing sticker! Looks like a fun trip.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

You guys like building stuff. Here's one little tidbit you might want to remember. Many jets (like 737s, of which are thousands in boneyards,...that's an airplane junkyard) have these things called "Air Stairs" It's as it sounds stairs. Stairs which are super light, super strong and have the WORLD'S COOLEST folding/retracting mechanism. Not all jets were/are equipped with them. Still, enough exist to where you could somehow use them for one of your projects. They're bad ass. Google'm A couple things about them....if you get some for some project, know they will operate on 24Volts & if I twas you, I'd get the flap/door which seals them in the airplane.

Last Chevy alternator I did, Kmart parking lot Laramie Wyoming

[@RobertMillerJustme]

When up north I used to plug in a hair dryer in the truck and have the cord in the house and used it to warm the truck before I went outside to the truck - when the windows were defrosted the truck was ready.

[@nocheckedbag]

You need to come down and visit us in Northern Nevada. We have 80 acres with hundreds of wild horses that roam through.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That sounds amazing!

[@timothygunn4160]

On the really cold nights if you were to wrap a tarp around the vehicle to close the gap and put a ceramic space heater under the vehicle it should keep it from freezing.

[@Markito908]

There is so much Boon and Bailey in this episode...my heart is pleased

[@shannonbeyers9765]

It's great watching how you've parlayed your successes into a great lifestyle at a age where you are virtually limited by nothing. It's awesome being along on your adventures. Thanks for helping all of us to see what is out there for all to enjoy still. Travel safe and be well!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for following along! ☺️

[@robertharding5553]

Thanks for this fun video. I like quiet littles towns... So peaceful... One trick I use to make the bed in our camper is that I bunch all the blankets and bed cover and start by the head of the bed. Place everything including the pretty FASHION PILLOWS !!! Then move down a foot, again place everything... And so on. This way you are not fighting to pull on the blankets while you are sitting on them. Hope this helps !

[@irishmike519]

A long time ago an army buddy and myself were traveling from Ft. Lewis near Tacoma to Yakima firing range. We stopped at Tieton Reservoir and he jumped in. I know where that water comes from. It was summer, but I still wasn’t jumping in.

[@donalddodson7365]

Fantastic adventure! Thank you. I love how the dogs are part of your pack (¿or is it the other way around? 🤔😎) I think you have the right formula for good adventures: not spending 6 hours digging and winching a stuck truck out of a bog, but exploring new places. See you next episode.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We are ALL enjoying a break from the mud!

[@slartibartfast9236]

Duvet Stuffing: Collapse the duvet cover, grab a handful of bottom duvet cover corner from the outside with the corresponding duvet corner on the inside. Same with the other bottom corner ( and mid bottom if needed). Holding all three bottom points simultaneously, uncollapse the cover and shake it out. It’s harder to explain than do. Takes me less than two minutes to do with one person. Two tall ppl would be better. Love this channel. This is my Sunday morning coffee go to right now.

[@davecox7458]

Road trip, love it, ready to hit the road myself,,,,,

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Love watching your challenging doing...so cool...and wow 😮 what beautiful place ...missing it so badly...I used to live nearby and your wonderful photos os the areas take me back💫🥰 last time I couldn’t get to the end ,,,and yes the free animals is one of the things I loved seeing....going up to mountains up in Idaho, Utah and Texas...traveling around the east areas as well...I lived in Tennessee also...but I loved when stopping in some areas to feed the dear...softly walking and stopping and waiting with the things they liked in my hand ....they came to eat and stopped looking for more...kkkk...🤗 so adorable....I love the camping and the many things we have in it...I grew up as cob since I was 5... scouting was my most favorite for everything, we enjoyed in it all ...wonderful leaders⚜️🏕🏔

[@moniquevelasco20]

What a great getaway! The dogs definitely loved it and you guys needed it to charge your energy to get back to the build projects. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

[@CatScanJim]

Starters and Generators from those parts stores are very mysterious. My dad worked at a major manufacturer of generators just outside of Oklahoma City in the 90's and he told me they would make 5000 units in a run and mark 2000 units new and the other 3000 remanufactured and they were all brand new because the remanufactured ones were unreliable and not worth the trouble.

[@garvincentcia2438]

Just subscribed earlier yesterday. 2 things that are important mineral test your dirt mainly gold.. when diging a wale or deep holes. 2. Garden towers (goggle it ) for your barndaminyan. Spell check please.

[@billcolsen2]

You guys made my day! My wife and I live in Idaho too and can share the same thirst of your adventure because even being senior citizens we never refuse to find another adventure in the Idaho outback. Glad you found the hot tub in Stanley. So many memories of being young. Wait a minute we have been on a road trip for a year and 3 months and now headed back 2,400 miles to Idaho to build a new home in Idaho City. Thanks and love your Vids.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Safe travels!

[@garybalanesi610]

Snow and water abounds, can be a mess. You don't go to truck stops for Rest.. it will melt, the snow that is..

[@jameswolfe7485]

Frozen dog snot on the windows? Those little stickers are what you get for wearing knit pants. Next time you venture into the pucker brush, I suggest leather pants. Or at least leather chaps. I'm with Riley, for once. It DOES sound like a perfect Sunday. And it IS a beautiful campsite. Glad you guys are having (so far) a good vacation/good change of scenery! If I haven't mentioned it before, I encourage you to consider Oy Windside vertical axis wind turbines for off grid power generation. They're quiet, efficient, and don't kill birds. Perhaps in a hybrid design with photovoltaics.

[@nigelwarrington3696]

You guys are nuts, love it. You remind my of my daughter and son in law. Thanks for sharing your adventures..

[@davidpiper3652]

I went swimming in la Cèze River near Barjac, France in early April. The water was melted snow a few degrees above freezing. Tingly all over and it felt hot rather than cold. You are having a superb trip. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That sounds amazing! (And cold!)

[@oldguysrule5895]

Great video. Title is fitting. Thanks

[@familyoffreeadventures9725]

Next spring/summer when you need a new adventure you two should really check out the rest of Idaho. Head down on highway 95 until you get to New Meadows then take a left on high 55 and continue to banks and take another left to Crouch where there are few amazing hot springs and camp spots then continue to Stanley where the sawtooth mountains are and the most amazing trails are, especially for mountain biking. We started watching your videos because my husband wants to build a truck camper, but then you two ended up moving to Idaho (we are from New meadows/McCall) 😅and creating the life we hope to achieve once my husband retires from the military. So now we are hooked on your channel!!!

[@familyoffreeadventures9725]

We say take this route because of the views along the way are absolutely breathtaking!!!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We'll have to take that route sometime, thanks for the tips! Idaho is so beautiful, I don't feel like we will ever be able to explore all of it!

[@kencrouch668]

As a fellow meat eater it is comforting to know that you are making "good choices" in your food consumption (lol). I watch another youtube channel and they eat way way to healthy-guacamole and all of that healthy stuff!

[@lancecarona2554]

We had a yellow lab. Grew up with our three kids. Best dog we could ever have. Never realized they shed so much. Broke my heart when he passed. Best friend you can have.

[@davidkumeroa2997]

Awesome Skiing in trees. The rope tows over in NZ might freak you a bit cause they're 17deg n icey snow. Those hot water springs were impressive. Good on you Cortney on the Ice water challenge.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Same starter issue with our explorer.....disappointing for premature failure on critical parts. Lol

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We were quite bummed that it failed so soon.

[@richardanderson8588]

try cook bacon in a few oz of water and cook fat down so does not burn with no splatter and when water evaps,, cook bacon to lean crispy! I use this when I RV camp so amazing!

[@kalvinlabuik3366]

I like your neat truck camper it looks so cool

[@sebastianlipp7649]

We love your channel but pleeeease guys, stay authentic. You don't need clickbait titles like the one you chose for this video. Keep the great work up, looking forward to more of your videos :)

[@homestedfrustraions2042]

I'm fairly new to the channel but I'm a huge fan. Got my own 3 Acear plot with my very own broken excavator, no water. And a 7k dollar non working solar system. Also we live in a financial nightmare of a travel trailer With two boys and 3 mastiffs

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We have so much respect for anyone on this journey with kids. We can barely feed ourselves most nights. 😂

[@frankbodenschatz173]

Frustrated- We commend u as well. A retired medical repair tech and his retired daycare director wife. It's never easy even In a newer home, we have issues like incorrectly wired switches and bad exterior lamps. Never ends but with all the kids out of the house it is a little easier. Always good to have a backup plan or two like the hosts try to lay out. Learn that and we wish you all well!

[@jerryforeman4543]

Nice hot tubs! That's a cattle guard on the road.

[@michaelkeyes3440]

Idaho hot springs are the best! Boat Box is a fun one. (BTW, I think you two are ready for a licence plate upgrade...)

[@tiny9614]

After I saw this I told the misses we need to downsize and get to a point where we can travel more. I told her I'd like to buy a smaller home and eventually a 3/4 or 1 ton truck and a slide in. We don't have kids so this is doable. I have been looking at Fourwheel campers. I love the clearance of the pop up style camper. I'm not getting any younger It would be good for our soul to get out more. Thanks for being inspiring!

[@larrybell4599]

Thank you for sharing your trip with me. You had lots of different adventures. Your awesome camper makes it easier!!

[@michaelgrabstein6423]

That is my favorite hot springs I have ever been too. It is incredible there!!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We had no idea how amazing it would be!

[@Defender110SLO]

Owsome relaxing trip. 🌞 Cheers. 🍷&🍺

[@WestonPullen]

What a great trip. In 2016 I took a trip in a small teardrop trailer from Maine to Oregon and back via Texas. I saw 22 National Parks and drove 13,000 miles. I wish I had your RV then...

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Wow! That would be an awesome route to do in our camper.

[@squatch2461]

Backing up rather than take your chances with the mud. 👍🏻👍🏻 Especially when there aren't good winch points or friends available to pull you back on the road. Good on ya taking a break

[@shadegarden7375]

Those hot Springs were so cool!!

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

So still catching up having found this Awesome channel and still November 2023 ❤️💙 from UK 🇬🇧

[@susancollado5290]

💕It’s so good to have a break so you don’t burn yourselves out from working all the time💕Looks like you had a fab time recharging your batteries💕

[@1944chevytruck]

COOL GET BUSY!.....LOL!... thanks 4 video. be kind.

[@robertburgess6100]

Great travels guys. I know you have been in cold weather before. But when it that cold out heat tape and a tank heater is your best frend on your plumbing. Especially in Montana and area's like that.

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

The solution to water lines freezing is a recirc pump on the line and some heat tape.

[@mechadrake]

did not think you will dunk yourself in cold river. I was betting on butchheks touching the cold and runing away!

[@garvincentcia2438]

Just subscribed but what made me subscribe was you store of life and achievements. I've been doing homecare for about 13years now. It harsh hurtful and sad , but before that I was on a life plan like your. I'm an entuer designer, Autocad designer home rehaber and project's Manger . The sad part is that all came to end after my mother's sickness. Yet I do know you can fit 6 cabins on every 5achers hidden from each other and you should have a safety shack every 5 ackers from your main lodge, to stay safe from weather and emergency reason when traversing thought your territory with a way to communicate with the main lodge from the safety shacks or weekend rental 😉 yet safety shacks. Incase of injury or incounter with animals&reptiles and weather .

[@kinomarko]

Booooone!!! Glad to see you out adventuring again with your really nice camper.

[@majcorbin]

my AUSTRIAN GRANDMOTHER taught me to use a hair dryer to warm up the feather quilt and sheets to MORNING WARM before bed in the winter your winter camping episode motivated me to share that morning warm information.

[@zinnsand21]

Loved the video as usual. The joy you share in your journey is addicting.. Never ceases to amaze how handy Riley is. Can build, make or fix anything. A true 21st century Renassance man. The Camper is awesome. The dogs are stars right up with you two.. Keep the content coming.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Nice vacation from the homestead. Thanks for bringing your viewers with you.

[@micjohnson3024]

when you were walking on the trail i had to wonder if it was along the clark fork and then you showed the walk bridge under the bridge so then i knew it was the clark fork. i've used that walkway many a time! i've also snowboarded many a time at lost trail.

[@matthewsturgeon]

Been to that road side hot tub before and river dipping. It's probably the best road side unmarked spot we came across. Idaho is such a cool place.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It was such an awesome surprise!

[@qltbugy]

Thank you for sharing. So glad we found you. Cant wait for more...

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for watching!

[@joshsteuterman2363]

[@jerryforeman4543]

Nice 🐕 doggies! Great camping rig!

[@bobbaurhyte8281]

Have fun you guys. You deserve it!...

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

The fun part is getting back in the hot water after the cold plunge.😁 You might want to add a couple 6in C-clamps to your road kit. Just curious, I haven't seen you use any YackTracks. They really do help on ice and packed snow. There are some more industrial versions that we firefighters use on out gear short of crampons.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I have some YackTracks and they were a lifesaver this winter! -Courtney

[@nenettechavez6123]

seems like am also travelling with you and enjoying the view . thanks for sharing

[@peterreynolds6704]

Okay, exploring Idaho and we recognized many of the places because we live here as well. But in the last couple of seconds there is the camper parked next to Stokes Castle in Austin, NV. Ah, from Twin Falls (hiking under the bridge) you went south on 93 then west on 50. Pretty big loop. Be interested to see where you were heading....

[@billyweston949]

Can you leave faucets a small drip? This has helped us in past living in cold country with freezing pipes can save water and put it back in ur tank

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for watching! It was hard to leave the homestead mid-build but leaving for mud season seemed like the best option. We had a great trip and can’t wait to get back up to work at the property.

[@randomnonsense_1]

I would love to know where that witches cauldron looking hot springs thing is.

[@Oracle_Speaks]

You two will look back on these days with absolutely no regrets. Don't stop taking risks and enjoying life.

[@brucemckelvy9920]

Please share where you are in some of these beautiful spots. Not real time, but where they were so some of us that also like to explore can head to those areas. You never seem to mention them in your videos and many others do.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Hi Bruce, if you want to shoot us an email we’d love to share our route with you. [e-mail]

[@Mtlmshr]

Once in a lifetime scene of seeing a big horn sheep crossing a road! Normally one would have to hike to extreme heights to see those!

[@heavymetalpermaculture]

Wish I could leave the homestead during any season! We have mud season here too, it's really bad this year. Glad you got away!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It was really hard leaving mid build, but battling the mud would have been all consuming and now we can get back to things at full force!

[@bryanstaten5585]

Hey y'all, in all these videos and your home property, I only want to know one thing......WHERE IS SASQUATCH?!!! LOL

[@ramblin660]

:-) Perfect music for the towing montage....

[@pepsicola60]

Have you two been to the Oregon Coast. Because your camper looks familiar. Love the video

What a cool adventure- I love your hounds- please tell them Hi 👋

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Today was bath day for the pups. They’re getting lots of cuddles tonight! 🐶

[@ForwardGuidance]

Getting out of there was best thing ever ... for the dogs.

[@jamestiberiuskirk5994]

This made me miss Idaho even more. We drive from Tampa to Middleton to see our son and family but this last year were not able to. Planning the trip for later this year and we go thru yellowstone and north idaho. Thank you.

[@TreadTheNet]

“Not always glamorous” …Courtney, you 2, make doing the laundry seem like a thrills vacation. It’s just awesome that you 2 recognized at a young age that the human mind needs change. Humans easily get bored, and you 2 have capitalized off of this human trait. I hope the 2 of you never stop “changing things”. If so, your followers will never tire of your content.

[@brentderksen]

Time away to recharge was due. Looks as if it was a good break.
