I would like to know who is doing the filming while you just walk around with perfect makeup and nice and clean.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

@@gordonkistler4640 🤣 it's called a tripod. And no make up here, however I do shower occasionally

[@ArtZen111]

Lol your goats act like dogs, I hate goats, they stink... And I drank some of their milk and vomited profusely, many many years ago... it was horrifying But I like your dog like goats . lol. Great job on cleaning up

[@lenorejohnson275]

I was watching your video, and wanted to mention an important fact for when you're out and about on your property to help you deal/protect yourself against cougars. If you take to loggers, you will learn that they paint eyes on the back of their hardhats. The reason for this is that cougars will not, usually attack from the front. They usually attack from the back, and go for the neck, hence why the loggers paint eyes on the back of their hardhats. Just an important piece of information for you to think about, especially if you're on your own.

[@nancypaul9935]

When u get those lines placed again mark the nearest trees along your line. It will help you keep things where they belong.

[@suepeterson5675]

The clarity with this camera is spot on . Katie you are so much more relaxed in this video than any other that I’ve seen. Great Job ! 👍👍😊

[@dutch2g]

Take that Greg!

[@lindad2008]

Katie I’m so impressed with your work ethic. You are a strong young woman!

[@chinadave2854]

If you bury the hose 48 inches Deep there will be less chance of it freezing up also let the end of the hose drip slowly. It worked for me for years

[@edeggleston1457]

Thanks for having us over!

[@AKMcode]

You might try marking the hose path so you can find it in the spring and so you know where to run the line to get to the summer creek. I'm thinking blazing the trees maybe with spray paint?

[@dinahjackson8146]

I know NOTHING... But, isn't there an easier way to get water... That looks like such HARD WORK ! 😁 GOD BLESS YOU for NOT GIVING UP ! ❤

[@alantorrance6153]

Current video quality is quite good. Am a new viewer to your channel, so I have nothing to compare it with. You have a lovely place, and a great bunch of animals. Makes me quite envious. Wishing you best of good fortunes with what you are doing.

[@levent8208]

The goats are so funny and smart, I didn't know that, I love to watch them doing crazy things.

[@karenmcfarland8561]

A great attitude in what proved to be a frustrating day. Appreciate your moxie !

[@berniepenner3352]

You are an amazing lady. I was praying for your safety when you work alone.

[@karenphillips6801]

The picture is so clear. Katie, you are amazing. Be proud you did alot

[@stephenmaguire1822]

What a positive difference some clean up makes. As to the water line, EXCELLENT ! Your tenacity is unmatched. The new go pro 10 is terrific. Clear picture. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelwaddeington5307]

A woman after my heart. You go girl. Excellent vid Katie. Mike

[@leighboufford3419]

If you take your gravity fed water system wrap it in an electrical 12 volt defroster cable it won't freeze and then you can bury it but put the black all around it after you do that and you should be all right that's how my daughter did it

[@miltonhurd1016]

That shot of the goat on the boulder backlit by the sun was masterful.

[@judithauclair8935]

Katie, so glad you did not give up on the hose!!

[@2putts2win]

As a guy who has a pretty high degree of OCD, I am so happy that you began cleaning up around your property. Love watching you guys building your home, thank you for sharing Katie.

You should have used a torch on it to soften the pipe so it could come off. The joints

[@kennethreynolds5564]

You are a very impressive young lady. Such a hard worker and not to mention strong. Enjoy your videos and wish you both the best from Kentucky

[@bevnelson3678]

I enjoyed your video. I’ll be looking out for next one. Thank you for shearing.

[@andrebisaillon5846]

Greg, Katie we love your channel Diane and I. We now reside in the greater Montreal area. Keep your shins up. Take it one day at a time. The sacrifices will pay off in the long run. Sounds like preaching doesn't? But its true. Your hard work and perseverance are a testimony of your courage. Never forget, your dream is like a precious stone. It needs only shaping and polishing to reveal its beauty. By the way, congratulations on clearing your mortgage.👍 Tip; Next time, try warming up the plastic pipe with a torch to help remove the fitting.😉 36K, growing and growing...👏Oh! I almost forgot, even after 44 years, we still fight at least once a month. The secret is to not stay mad at each other when you go to bed.😊

[@jeanstrait2904]

Girl you are a hard worker!

[@danmcelroy6584]

You did good👍👍 if you let your chainsaw warm up for a minute or two it will run better and last you longer. It’s a tiny cylinder on them and they can warm up faster on one side causing extra wear and early failure.. just a tip👍👍✌️

[@thomaswarnecke3991]

Maybe you could build a trail where the water line runs. Could you insulate ( possible electric heated line for the future and let the water run all winter. Also a small torch to heat the hose to get them loose.

[@christineabedini3765]

Yup are a total warrior lady!👏👏👏👏☮️

[@richardwhite3711]

28:05 in video get the drone out and find the best route to run the line / sit still for ten minutes and just let you mind catch up to the problem at hand

[@irenebaynebayne6353]

1st time Watching !!!You're doing a good job you can tell you're a hard worker But you're working for yourself and it all pays off for you and you know it done right

[@waltmoore3095]

Yup push on barb fittings are a pain. I usually cut off just past the barb, and put new connectors, they are fairly cheap.

[@corinnetonelli489]

Great productive workout! Pity about the water. Tractor work and clearing some of the yard was great! Enjoy your dinner.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job working on the water line Katie

[@waynedavenport3919]

Hello guys. Love ur guys videos. Thxs for taking us alone on ur journey. Be safe as u are alone this weekend. ❤️✌️The new GoPro doing great. Very clear video

[@robert-gu4xy]

Katie bring a small propane torch with you to warm the hose aroung those stubborn connections you will be amazed how this helps. Keep up the good work!!

[@wk6976]

Hi Katie. The camera is nice and clear. Really enjoyed watching you with the spring chores. Love the goats following you around. Well done.

[@judyrau5309]

Glad to see you cleaning up l have see a lot of yards with so much junk around l wonder how they can live that way

[@debraouellettr3709]

It make me anxious that your alone for week end . Then going deeper into the forest with dog cat & goats has me EXSTREAMLEY anxious!! So afraid for animals " to harm mull you ! Or that you could slip fall get hurt & no way out ! Left open & vaunrabel to the eliminate and animals. Your awesome strong woman! May godbless you always n keep you safe n well

[@judithauclair8935]

Katie, you did an awesome job cleaning up! I can't wait to get out and do the same. I love your goats. So excited to see your home and roof garden, will it be flowers or vegetables or both. Enjoy your me time, everyone needs it!

[@karenriggle5435]

I'm looking for a chipper shreader to put my pine needles thru for bedding for my chickens to be more self sufficient and use what we already have plenty of...would work for goats to free bedding plus it helps in the breakdown of the needles for compost for the garden

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Thats a great idea

[@tommygarcia6671]

You did a great job today,god bless and take care of yourself.

[@billykwhitfieldjr3145]

Awesome video. Very clear and audio is great also.

I love your get it done attitude! If plan A doesnt work you switch to plan B. You were persistent and you tried which is all it takes. Great job!

[@ScotsyCajn]

Heck yeah, Katie! Ya did great, no matter how productive or not productive you think ya did. Glad for Greg getting some time off to rock climb! Your turn Katie! And guys… I loved this video:) helps me feel normal when I do a few things here n there seemingly not getting much done but being wore out. And..: the goat having the camera cracked me up at the end !!! Love you guys so much. Thank you!

Very good Katie, I enjoyed your time!

[@jimefflandt9609]

This is the first time I've watched your video and I love it. You sure work hard. You have a beautiful setup. Keep the videos coming I'll be watching. Thanks Jim

[@kevincerce5056]

Katie, look at it this way, you did so much more my wife couldn't even turn the key to start up the tractor or even know how to use it. Katie, you got girl power that's for sure.

[@ronaldclark2624]

Nice video, thank you! Our hand drilled shallow well was 40'. The neighbors hand dug well was also 40' and served them well for many years. We finally had a 90' well drilled with iron casing. It was artesian and sprang up to 50'. The wells were in Washington state near Seattle a few hundred miles from you! Maybe you will soon find time to drill or dig. I think a backhoe can reach down near 40'. Congrats on your very nice build. Love the animals. Ron PTL USA

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Hey Ron. We are on a outcrop of a mountain. Our location is arid, though there is a possibility of water under our land, it's probably deep and costly to bring to surface

[@ronaldclark2624]

@@ThisOffGridLife You may possibly use a cistern fed by the small creek after filtering for drinking and coffee. When we lived in Texas, 1940's, the local water was gypsum and undrinkable but ok for crops. A windmill pumped well water into a large galvanized open tanks for livestock. The Drinking water was delivered and stored in a cistern for the house use and refilled when necessary. There were no flush toilets then for most people. Flush toilets are nice! You are doing well and learning much! Where there is a will, there is a way! Ron PTL USA now living in a small town in North Central Washington state.

[@deniserokke9297]

Wouldn't it be easier to have 2 lines that come together at a Y valve so you can just switch the water source there?

I have lived off grid and I had heat tape around my water lines and I put the insulation around it. Your always going to have frozen pipes. Bummer.

[@puzzlemonkey1]

A cracking episode, proper real. Well done Lady.

[@karinhusas1370]

So cool to see you outside job. The goats, cat and the dogs follow you🐐🐐🐕🐈😃

[@johnjaco5544]

Good job You're a great help around the place that's for sure. When you guys get a back blade get 1 that's called a 6 way blade. They cost a little more than a regular back blade but they do a lot more different kinds of work. Mine is made by woods, model RB72, A lot of companies make them. Most back blades just tilt either left or right, This style back blade does 6 different functions.

“Things get forgotten when you’re juggling a lot.” Man did I need to hear that today! Been struggling with making mistakes because brain fog lately. This idea of self compassion helps.

[@loucinci3922]

Hey K, don’t sell yourself short. You did great. Almost got the water and road looks good. Camera is eh. Don’t like the fisheye lens. Trees bend inward and things look distorted. Poly Pipe is cheap. You might consider running a second line. Install a Y connector with two ball valves. Also consider cutting a path with tractor up to water sources. Nice burn piles. Thanks for sharing

[@ThisOffGridLife]

The nice thing about the gopro is you can change how wide it looks. I also don't like the fisher effect, we'll have to play around with the settings

[@ninemoonplanet]

I am out on the coast and here there are "trout worms" otherwise known as "red wigglers" or tiger worms. If you have time to set up a "worm farm" somewhere under a place away from snow/rain you could get a year round supply of the "best compost" without having to constantly turn piles of "cold compost". I have mine in the basement, and if I don't feed them animal products (dairy, meat, fish) or acidic foods (onions, citrus, garlic) they make excellent compost. Two plastic dark coloured tubs, one with the lid is all you need for equipment. Worms may be there under wood or leaf piles.

[@username3183]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that! I'm going to look into that for my own use. This is why I love This Off Grid Life! The sharing is an education in itself!

[@crazycloud2]

I always read the comments lately because of peoplwe like you. Thanks for the valuable, to me, info. I never had any problem making compost before but this place I had to move to is horrible. I have tried many methods I have seen but I never see worms. I think I need a trip to the bait shop because this sounds like the ticket.

[@johnsargeant4797]

you are amazingly practical

[@b.p.7794]

enjoyed your video. the water lines can be taken apart by heating ( not melting) up the joints. that will allow the plastic to expand. If you don't melt it you should be able to reuse it.

[@jasonbennett9995]

If you own eye ear protection i recommend it as my father has two hearing aids JS up to you God bless from Canada eh

[@noiram007]

Run the bucket flatter to the ground which will smooth the roadway YOU can do tractor work which is a skill learned by doing To clear the waterline run water without faucet which will allow water to push ice out instead of melting ice through faucet

[@jonnyteeee]

You did great!!! Well Done for keeping Going 🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽

[@derekread8220]

Well done for your efforts. Camera footage very good. Can I suggest that in addition to using eye protection when using the chainsaw or other noisy equipment that you get yourself a set of ear defenders, otherwise you might get hearing loss or tinnitus in later life. I speak from experience.
