I ACTUALLY CAUGHT The TRESPASSERS In The Act On My Off-Grid Homestead

[@lucyflorey9152]

I'm 65 now, but in 1976 my husband, who has since passed, and I homesteaded our 40 acres. We built our road and house. We dug two water wells, built two ponds. We also milled our trees. We had cattle and horses. It was a good life. Now I still live here and the property is beautiful. We did 90% of the work ourselves and raised two boys. You are doing a great job!

[@jamest2101]

Just something to think about... I noticed when you finished cutting your first tree that your chain was kind of hanging down from the bar, it also took you a bit to make your cuts. Its a good idea to keep your chain on your saw taught. Adjust it to the point that you can pull it down from the bottom and is snaps back up and you can still move it by hand. Running the chain lose increases the wear on your bar and also puts you at risk as the chain will run off the bar. Its important to keep your chain sharp. I noticed when you were cutting that you had the throttle almost wide open but you were taking a little bit of time to make your cut. When you chain is sharp, the tailing from the cut will come out in nice size slivers . When your chain is dull, the tailing from cut will come out almost like a dust. Using a dull chain increases the risk of kick back and wear and tear on your engine... Just some advice.

Now it's a lot more expensive but after we put it down , we didn't ever replace it for the next 30 years something about those nice smooth rocks they don't go down in the ground and stay there it's amazing we didn't we didn't have to haul any crushed rock at all . y'all think about it like I said it is more expensive but you do it once you forget about it.For several years or maybe do it one truckload at a time.

In 1988 we bought 10 acres of woods. I spent the summer and early fall building a road into it. I posted several No Trespassing signs around the perimeter. Opening day of deer bowhunting season... I drive out right after sunup. My road is blocked by a car parked between two trees with No Trespassing signs on them. I slip on my orange hat and walk down the road a piece... at the bottom of a huge oak tree sits a guy dressed in camo facing away from me. I holler at him and ask what are you doing here. He explains that he is hunting deer. I tell him this is private property and you are trespassing. I ask, didn’t you see the signs. He explains that he is not a trespasser because he has permission from the owner to hunt. (I bought the land from the bank and know that they have owned it for three years.) I tell him that the highway patrol station is one mile away... that I have written down his license tag number and he had better get the owner out here by the time I come back with the highway patrol (long before cell phones) or they’ll be knocking at his door by the time he gets home. He flips me off and runs to his car.... but he can’t back out and the road isn’t finished... it ends in a blackberry bramble patch with a huge stump hidden on the other side. He decides to go for it... Well, I don’t know what the towing charges were for his car... but after he walked a mile to call the wrecker, had to wait an hour for them to show up and when they pulled it out it had the whole right front caved in to the dashboard... I decided not to turn him in for Trespassing. I considered it his lucky day!!!

I was ok just heat exhaustion it put me on my butt for a few days though. I also want to say thank you for what you did for the crockers. Your a good dude.

[@jamesbaker9383]

It's gonna happen till you get to know the neighbors is my bet. They are just trying to see what your doing.

[@patriot9455]

I saw you cutting trees, and thought you might appreciate this. It was in a video, there was a guy notching trees, ;leaving them standing and going on to the next tree in line and notching them as well. He was cutting a logging access road through a dense forest. He got to the end of the day, pointed his camera on a tripod at the tree line. Cut the last tree, it fell on the next, and next, until he had trees falling clear to the top of the next hill. I could not help but laugh at how he cut and dropped that many trees all at once. I know you don't have that same opportunity, but you and I both like to see work done as easily as possible. That was a good one. I have no idea how many trees he felled, but he only had to do a final cut on one.

[@starangel0423]

Hey Dutch how bout hanging a sign or two stating "Property Under Video Surveillance". Then attach a couple of trail cameras a couple trees back behind the gate.

[@zareb04]

I can believe that it's very rewarding to work at your own property. But running any equipment, or activities who can harm you when you're alone is not the smartest thing. When your saw start doing strange things our a tree begans to fall the wrong way you do not have a backup. So stay good man! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@stitchengramie]

When you seen the trespasser did he have a backpack on? If so, it is harvest time correct? It's not just harvest time for fruit and veggies but for all plants. Walk your property and call your friend on Arm's Family to go with you.

Might have to live in a camper out there when you start building.

[@sharondelaney5448]

Possibly start by building a garage big enough for camper to fit in. Can also use to secure tools, materials, shelter from storms & a dry place to bed down while building. May not need to be there all the time, but unpredictability enough that no one can be sure... Hope you find you have good neighbors!

[@murrayhelmer8941]

[@auntiem873]

She probably thought you were making trails and she wanted to take advantage of them. You cleared the land, there were no 4 wheeler trails, So all this is new. It’s not like they were using your property I. The past for short cuts. She may also be a spotter. She goes back first and reports to a brother, father, husband what’s back there. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are hoping you leave that tractor over night. It would be gone by morning.

[@terribethreed8464]

If your going to be curing those oaks for your mill then you need to decide where your mill is going to be & set up a metal rack to put those trees on to get get them off the ground. My Step Dad & my brother had a small mill & he had worked worked for the saw mill in our county in Northern Sierra's CA Tuolumne Co. With your winter weather coming up, you don't want your trees laying on the ground, your trees will start rotting if you do. Rack your trees off the ground & tarp them so they won't get wet so they'll dry age well. Like you do for firewood. The dryer the wood the better you can mill it. It'll make your cutting go smother when you mill your trees. Wet & green wood is a pain to mill. If you've got dead trees around your property cut them down first & color tag them for the color you want for firewood & use another color for your milling trees because you can't use dead trees for milling. You should build your woodshed 1st so you'll already have it ready for your firewood to season.

[@ricks.1092]

Dutch, you might want to invest in a "Cargo Container." It's what we did, we when started our home build. You can store tools and other valuable equipment in there. After your done using it, you can use the cargo container for storage, covert it for animal housing or simple sell it and get some of your money back. We ended up keeping our container and use it for storage. The containers are that much money....around $3k to $5k, just depends on the size.

[@betpatpatten3840]

I would go by or call the nonemergency number for the police department and ask them if you need to really let them know that your property is posted and that you had seen somebody coming on the property with the baby that way if anything happens it’s well-known in the area that you have posted property. And make sure you Have signs on all four sides of your land that it is posted property.

[@gatorweis2196]

@Styx62 Ga I'd be putting purple paint around every tree on the perimeter!

[@abigailbelford883]

You're right. It must be posted N,S,E, and W In order for it to be legal. Sad but true.

You can be liable for trespassers so make sure you have signs posted and they're visible. Check on the boundaries of your property to make sure signs are visible and not torn down.

Sandy Pratt Good to know!

[@jtdamomma]

You won't be liable if you have private property and no trespassers sign. It's plain and clear that anyone that enters that property can be criminally trespassed, and if anyone gets hurt, their own fault. Not yours!

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Dutch, First of all No Trespassing means No Trespassing and they know that someone is out there and they still are going on your property. Maybe now that they seen you maybe they'll stop and that drive by they were checking to see if you was still there. Still keep your guard up just to be on the safe side. Why on earth would a woman have a toddler on a 4 wheeler is nuts, I would never put my kids life in danger like that. So with that being said whats next for KID keep up the good work see you in the next video🤔🚜😉

[@OlWolf1011]

Sandra Corless Makes me wonder, if 4-wheeler wasn't sure of Dutch's temperament, and baby was to make sure he didn't shoot first. Just a thought. I'm guessing those folks are all of a local "old family" and feel they have rights to go where they please cause their ancestors did the same. Probably took their offspring on joy-rides all through there for decades - now Dutch done bought the place and ruined their fun. They can go find another empty wood to go play in!

That just gives more of a challenge..... I have areas buckled on my aluminum siding where people have attempted to climb up to windows etc. I put game cameras out but they knew they were there and deleted memory cards.... I think neighbors ( yup they have cameras and many pointed at my house) makes me pretty sure they are either the culprits or the lookout. Piss me off. Need to learn me some booby trap skills since I don't have any claymores.

[@cliffords.8341]

String trip wire's or sensor's that detect a vehicle entering your property that sends a signal to a device attached to a shotgun covered with a tarp and tree branches to keep dry and undetected. When activated it will pull the trigger on the shotgun shooting it off. Have it pointed to the ground away from the trespassers so no one will get shot. You can even get blanks to shoot instead of live ammo.

[@jeandunn1594]

[@cliffords.8341]

@@jeandunn1594 I got the idea from watching Appalachian Outlaws TV show. People were trespassing on this guy's land digging up and stealing his ginseng, which is apparently worth a lot of $. He laid down trip wires in various locations and when they entered "at night" and triggered the wire, explosives went off! That was pretty cool! Talk about people running for their life. Even though I hoped no one got hurt I was LMBO! 😆

[@alanosborne1947]

If you want to keep the ticks off of you and your children mix unscented permetherin with water in a spray bottle spray your clothes with it let them dry before putting them on. Great stuff to use,I'm a bridge inspector in North Carolina so I'm in some dense vegetation and the permetherin works great!

Invest in several game cameras (maybe 5) and mount them on the other side of your gate. And mount others on down the driveway. Give yourself proof to alert police officials.

Can I share something. I needed something to turn off and a light for use in my backyard. It runs off of my solar. 12 volt and up. Yes the light is on an switch. Yet I have to go into the dark to turn it on or use an flashlight. So I needed a way to turn it on from inside my home and off. Many different uses for it. Safety to anything on an solar system. Sold by Amazon. Product is by Rocketek, DC 500m, remote switch. It was very easy for me to hook up into the system. Yet even if I think someone is out there I can turn it on. The light sensor one did not last. Yet I do not need 24/7 light on so yes they solar yeard lights are amazing. I just needed a light when I been to be out there but yet controlled from in inside of my home. Maybe this will help someone else that may have an need for an remote on and off 12 volt plus anything. Take care.
