Creating ABUNDANCE on the homestead (Potatoes, Framing and up cycling)

[@anniinglucksdorf960]

I can not say this enough: I feel so privileged that you allow us to peak I to your lives with all the ups and downs small and big steps. Envy you for the manure and loved you sharing your lovely family laughing. Beautiful benches! This is the life! I bet it feels exhausting at times but please remember to sit back and marvel at the beauty you create!

[@OffGridBruce]

Thank you Anni. This comment is lovely 😊

[@Lamhan_Scotland]

I think this has been my favourite video so far from your channel, Bruce and family. Thank you for sharing your lives with us all x

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks Joanna :)

[@allonesame6467]

Congratulations on the Abundance Plus invitation, getting the framing in the roof done, getting the potatoes in, making benches, beginning the fire pit! Wow! No wonder your knackered! Good Times too with that obstacle course. Awesome!

[@OffGridBruce]

Getting there :) it was a good week

[@iamsophieleone]

This was a delight xxx Thank you for sharing your family fun. We laughed out loud with Cat Burglar (Annie 😂) ❤

[@OffGridBruce]

I was laughing the whole way through editing that part

[@julesflynn6477]

Great design for the benches! The kids must be getting excited about their rooms, the upstairs is really starting to take shape ❤

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks Jules. Elsie definitely can’t wait for her room to be done. I think it’s still going to take me longer than I think

[@julesflynn6477]

@@OffGridBruce I can imagine she must be dying to get her own space, Kai was the very same 😁 you're off to a flying start anyway!

[@JasonLockwood87]

I’ve said this before but you guys are fantastic. My wife and I tune in for every video. You have us laughing and smiling every week. We have 2 boys. A 2 year old and a 7 week old. If they grow to be as wonderful as your girls then we’ll be very proud parents. Lots of love ❤

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks Jason :)

[@bettysadlier8708]

HI BRUCE i have been following your journey for awhile now and yesterday met Elsie and Betsie outside the shop i dont knowcwho was more excited them or me 😂

[@OffGridBruce]

😂 they came running into Aldi to tell me all about it

[@counteldamar5135]

When you look at the horrors unfolding around the world. It makes one worry and wonder about the direction that the world is heading in. But as someone wise once said you cannot change the world but you change yourself. What could be better than to raise a family in as much harmony with nature and appreciate the fulfilment and beauty from working with the land and living life as freely as possible as our ancestors once did. Kudos to Bruce and Annie for making realising their dream and working to make it possible and best of luck to you. I really enjoy the content you share and wish you all the very best in life.

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks very much. We are very blessed to be here and live the way we do :)

[@ReelBasileño]

What a wonderful place.

You are all a great add for the old saying, work hard and play hard! 😀 love the simple bench design, look great...

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks David I was pleased how it came out

[@annetjievz]

Loving the bench design. So simple and effective.

I know I can’t wait. Starting to take shape now

[@aprilriordan8202]

Great to see you in abundance plus ! Your spuds are going to love all that good manure , I know it will be a bit of a wait but already excited to see the harvest :) chickens look happy ! The quick shot we got of them lol

[@OffGridBruce]

Hoping for another good harvest. I’ll get some footage of the hens. They are very funny

[@garyhollywell2112]

Great simple idea for the Benches Bruce and I love the String game my great nephews would love that....possibly a Christmas gathering challenge! Have a great week.

[@OffGridBruce]

It was proper laugh out loud fun

[@scottishcottagerenovation]

I really enjoy your videos Bruce. I originally found you when Mossy Bottom featured you and I just really enjoy coming along on your journey.

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate you coming along :)

[@ko6el]

Where has mossy bottom disappeared to?

[@magcurran100]

Good to see the spuds going in!

[@OffGridBruce]

Last years were great!

[@lizdevine7363]

Wow guys you made me feel so lazy, busy week for you guys, that string game made me crack up laughing, fair play to Annie she didn't give up, ha ha, Elsie was loving using that spray ha ha, have good week look forward to next week🥰

[@OffGridBruce]

That game had me in stitches!

[@kmoon2921]

That game looked such fun, the benches are brilliant, well done👏👏

[@OffGridBruce]

The game was ace! I’d recommend the book

[@kellyb3211]

Oh darn. I thought this video was going to be a rhythmic movement of a bread product set to music…you know ‘a bun dance’ (abundance). Hehehehehe

[@OffGridBruce]

Lol I actually read it like that when I was double checking my spelling

[@Nolan_Dykstra]

Love seeing your progress as always!

[@OffGridBruce]

Thank you 🙏

[@irishcottagerenovation9900]

Great video, love your benches, what a simple and effective design. Potato beds look great have you a favourite variety to grow yet. The game looked funny how lovely to see that you don’t need to spend a fortune to have a family laugh. All the best

[@OffGridBruce]

I do have a favourite but I can’t remember what it’s called. We planted from last years so may have to get Tom to remind me. We have planted some Apaches as they are blight resistant but not sure what they taste like

[@robscoble1579]

What a fun game! 😂 Clever benches too, you have such a good eye for stuff like that 👀 Looking forward to seeing how your spuds do 👍 Btw, I like how you made getting that drum out the old washing machine look seamless, but I bet it was anything but...🤣

[@OffGridBruce]

😂 it was a bloody nightmare getting it out

[@neevydee6103]

Loved the video as usual Bruce and the gang - so much fun and creativity!

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks Niamh 😊

[@carolfaberpeake857]

Game time was great! Your family is lovely 🎉

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks Carol. It was a lot of fun

[@joannabowers1358]

Those benches are so cool. I may copy them as I have lots of lumber scraps and can always use such a useful bench like that.

[@OffGridBruce]

Go for it they were very comfortable

[@DavidSmith-tu6jd]

Another fab vlog Bruce. Lucky spuds. Imagine if you could water them with "Guinness". Kin'ell. Peace'n'Love to you all.

A Screwfix trip in ya future? Bought 30 welded mesh panels yesterday from them for a new fence for our chickens...Lurve that place.

Another lovely video. Don't worry the eggs will come soon enough. Well from most. I have one who doesnt lay but likes to take the credit from the others 😂

[@user-nt8ck4zg4z]

Ive only just planted mine as weather been so cold and wet too. I remember where we first had an allotment we were late with everything but they all soon caught up. I like to think it was too wet and they would rot 😂 You are so talented and clever benches are brilliant

[@OffGridBruce]

I think you are right. Perfect time to plant :)

[@tiarnanvanderbrun8260]

You're growing quickly to be rubbing shoulders with abundance+ already, congratulations! Spuds in, great work. The eggs will come, they're just settling in. The odd bit of protein will spur them on. House is looking good too, plenty of strength built in. Cat burglar looks a laugh, I'll have to remember that one 😂

[@OffGridBruce]

Thanks 🙏 can’t wait to have some eggs :)

Awesome string game ! Hey Bruce what happen to Daniel at Mossy Bottom you tube , he disappeared. He was the source to find your channel.

I don’t know I’d say he’s having a break away from it. It can be a bit full on and he’s actually believe it or not a pretty private guy

@@OffGridBruce Could you ask your local Council to do this if on public roadside?

[@WalkaboutDad]

Is that a pneumatic nail gun that you are using in the attic? The only nail guns I've seen were in the US, where they are actual "guns" (i.e., driven by gunpowder charges). How is this thing working (for you)?

[@OffGridBruce]

It’s awesome. It’s an electric nail gun. Pretty powerful. Saves a lot of time that’s for sure

[@ianwynne5483]

You just left the rest of the machine there? Could have dragged it up to the road and called the council.

It’s on a forestry road so I doubt they would collect that

You can plant potatoes until end of may,people used to say you could plant away when you could see out through an ash tree.

That’s good to know. It was about this time last year we planted and they came out great! We were in spuds for months
