Hurricane Update: After the Storm

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Our thoughts go out to all those affected by Hurricane Florence. If you are looking for more information on how to prep for a hurricane or related videos, please see our description for links. We also have a lot of videos in our playlist on how to start a prepper pantry, how to build a DIY solar system, and how to prepare for events such as these. We hope this library of information is helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@LadyMarch]

Absolutely loved Canning 101. And Chicken Math. Also, we are dying for some rain up here on The Bruce Peninsula, in Ontario. The heat is insane. The weather is so crazy everywhere. But this is why we prep. And have a well.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

It’s hot in Ontario?? 😳

[@nickslingerland4155]

Thanks for the videos, I've been watching for some time. I stopped for a while then came back and was pleased to see you guys made a leap of faith on that new property. I think it's going to work out great and it must be amazing to be that remote and free. Congratulations. P.s. I noticed you have Fiskar axes in background, I love mine and plan on getting a second.

[@mr.potatohead6138]

Are you really doing the 'human flag'?!

[@iangelfaceiangelface2912]

Just wanted to thank you for the prep vidio before Florence. We are in NC. and were ready with food and water, medical, but we have a long wooded driveway and had not thought of a chainsaw in case it became blocked. Because of your vidio we went out and bought one. Sure enough we needed it. A tree fell blocking the road , thanks to you my husband had the right tool, and was able to clear it no problem. So thank you again for your help.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Awesome. Nice work. 👍🏻😉

[@nimueh4298]

I am glad everything is O.K. Beautiful sketch on the squirrel.

[@iowagirl19631]

Thank you for posting the update!! I've been thinking of the Guildbrook family and hoping you would make it through without much damage!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Thank You. So far so good. 👍🏻

[@kristikey8320]

LOL! Your chickens have you well trained!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

No kidding!

[@russellhoskins561]

I grow shiitake on my homestead here in the sand-hills of NC...Go out with a wooden mallet and smack the sense out of your mushroom logs while they are wet...The combination of moisture saturation and the shock from the mallet will encourage a bloom...Seriously. Good luck.

[@terawattyear]

Super glad to see you put up a vid so soon after the storm. You’re OK; yay! I’m impressed by the amount of energy left in your batteries after so little sun. That has got to build your confidence. Good job.

[@jodyflores601]

I'm glad you are all okay, thank you for the update. I

[@amandaforeman703]

Glad you guys weren't too badly effected!!! Good luck with the house build!

[@LaniAnne402]

[@WendyK656]

Jaime, Jeremy and girls, we are so glad y'all are safe as of today! love your drawing Jaime Praying for y'all

[@ZWATER1]

Happy you guys are ok

[@ruthierue62]

I think a course on wild eating mushrooms ect may be your next project . Glad came through ok .

[@JaTon]

That's fantastic that y'all faired so well with the hurricane. ❤️

[@rrdogface]

I like how you covered all areas of your place, the preparation, and the result. You are a great teacher, Jaime.

[@gregmauchline9146]

Glad you all faired well. The squirrel is awesome.

[@stephanienuce7711]

♥️ so glad y’all are ok!!! And your artistry ROCKS!!!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ZamekCastle]

I'm in Appalachia too, happy to see no harm done to you all. Also very happy to see I'm not the only one who wears boots with shorts!

[@missOhdrey]

Glad that you’re all okay, including the chickens! I can’t believe your drawing progress in so short a time Jamie, very impressed.

[@50shadesofgreen]

good day to you guys !! glad you are ok and survived hurricane florence with very minimal damage !!

[@ericday2072]

It was good to see that all is well. You're very artistic, and I wish the best for GuildbrookArt.

[@Richard-1469]

Glad you guys are okay. I love your art. You are very talented.

[@uphillhomestead6188]

Thank you for the update...you've been in my prayers.

[@hollynla]

Glad y’all are doing okay, hopefully fall will follow with cool and dry conditions

[@ericwitcher952]

Sorry I did skipped over the art video I'm just not a art person I still gave it a thumbs up and y'all are a giant inspiration to me. I got about 4 more years before I can go off grid 🙂🙂

[@lisajervis5792]

I'm so glad your ok

[@gloriasalcedo2395]

So happy to hear that y’all fared well ❤️

[@butterflymuse2707]

It rained like that here in Maryland too, I heard on the radio that we got our yearly rainfall 3 times over since May. And the few days there has been no rain have been so hot and humid. It has been such a bad summer.

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again! So happy to hear you're safe and ok. Thx for the update! Hang in there with all the water. Take good care!

[@acet7]

glad you all are safe

[@davidexton877]

Good to hear things are alright, and thanks for the video. Showing how well the solar system held up to a hurricane really put its usefulness into perspective. I imagine that I'd have been biting my nails off in regards to the panels as well. Lol I also like the comments on the well and septic system- 2 things I would not have thought of as potentially being compromised by the storm. The education you guys provide through your experiences is greatly appreciated. 👍

[@jengoods2246]

Glad all is well, hope there isn’t too much more rain, thoughts are with you 😀❤️

[@robertadams3416]

Wow. You are very talented. Awesome!

[@benjaminchong82]

thank god everything already for u guys there ..... be safe

[@Ashra.Astara]

Glad to hear you made it through all right..!

[@reginaworkman9926]

When we grew shiitake mushrooms, we had the most growth when the weather would swing from extremely hot to cold or visa versa.

[@sheilaperl4155]

I am so glad you survived the hurricane and I hope the rain doesn’t damage your spring! The chickens are like children and have to be “with “ you! Thank you for sharing and I love your art work and wish you every success with it!

[@susanmerritt8331]

Glad to see you made it through OK! We too had lots and lots of rain and gusts. It was raining up to about 3 hours ago. Unfortunately we developed several roof leaks and the ceiling fell in three different places. It's a commercial building built around 100 years ago. That not being the problem, it was a flat roof which are notorious for leaking. Probably had so much rain it couldn't drain off fast enough. It's going to be an expensive repair. Many roads were closed due to fallen trees and flooding but we never lost power. It could have been much worse.

[@kenhadley6039]

I am glad to hear you guys made it through the storm ok. The art work looks Awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@duskydon]

I'm so glad you weathered the storm so well. It's all the hard work and because you like what you are doing.

[@Jean2235177]

Glad y’all are ok.

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

good to know you re ok. very nice drawing!

[@suyongtong9995]

Smooth, engaging, informative, concise, sprinkling of humor to relieve concerns . . . well scripted, yet contains a sense of spontaneity. I'm enjoying the evolution of your videos.

[@julieschossow9315]

Glad you're all ok. Kept you in prayer!

[@phoebelong7513]

Thank you so much for sharing. Glad to hear that you came through the storm alright. Prayers for that family that lost the little baby. The artwork is BEAUTIFUL. Blessings as you continue to work on this and learn. Thanks again for sharing.

[@ialokinstein]

Glad y'all are doing okay 👍👍😁

[@rosem6604]

Your squirrel is wonderful! I think you'll do very well with drawing. Good luck!

[@SATXHEESH]

Your drawing skills are amazing

[@athloneduke]

Glad ye are all safe, chickens can be replaced but ye cannot

[@pamelaberner6292]

Thanks for the update, everyone has been concerned. Your skills have really grown drastically, good job. The squirrel is beautiful.

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

I love the way those chickens follow mama, it made me chuckle. It has been very wet here in n.w. Florida, very hot too. Thunderstorms everyday. The children were stir crazy.

[@1krmorris]

Glad y’all are fairing well. I certainly didn’t skip the drawing video. Watched it a couple times and super impressed with your skill.

[@ubetchya78]

I'm so glad your family is faring well through the hurricane! Your art is so beautiful, job well done!

[@joenadeau4419]

Glad you are all okay

[@triplemoonhomestead126]

Love the art commissions! My daughter has narcolepsy and will never be able to work a full-time job but the one thing she has under her sleeve is she is a wonderful artist!!!! That will be what supports her when she is older!

[@todddembsky8321]

I am so glad you did a vid today, I was looking at the creek levels near your place and there are a lot of creeks and rivers way above their banks. Thank God you are safe. Sad that the little fellas are gone, they were just so cute :-) I am going to have to check out your art page (Yes, I did watch that video all the way through) You would never guess that the picture you are now drawing is a polar bear, looks like a cute chipmunk to me :-)

[@BeautifulTouches]

We live in an area that gets hit by hurricanes and tropical storms on a pretty regular basis. When bad weather is expected our girls get on the back porch during the day...when it's really bad (during the day - and over night), we bring them inside and put them in our spare bathroom. Works pretty well. We just put down some butcher paper and pine shavings/chips. Once the weather breaks, we just roll up all the paper - shavings and all. EASY clean up! Glad you all made it through without major damage, and are safe.

[@beaniesammy]

thought about yall a lot glad you and your family are safe 😊 love the videos

[@rachelshomemakeithomestead2826]

Oh wow, you're getting more rain than us Australians, we need the rain and you need the sun! And this is our winter and its declared a dought,now where just in spring. Farmer's are killing their stock as their skin and bone. Glad you quys are ok

[@rachelshomemakeithomestead2826]

@Raymond Palacios yes, but not in the places where it's needed. I also heard that where in for a real hot summer. 😢 dry winter + fires = devastating outcomes.

[@rachelshomemakeithomestead2826]

@Raymond Palacios yes lots of green shade cloth or you good use something like a removable tractor house similar to the chicken house using shade cloth. 😉

[@grandiesgarden175]

Impressed with your off grid solar system, especially. You are a talented artist. Looking forward to watching the build!

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Please stay safe! I’m so glad the one coop is still standing! I would have been so worried about that.

[@annamixner3168]

Use Spirits of Camphor for the bug bites. Works great! Just dip a q-tip in the bottle and dab it on.

[@djshiva]

LOL at the chickens interrupting filming to get fed.

[@bennielovejoy1305]

Thanks for the update. glad to hear you guys "weathered" the storm ok. :)

[@migringito1]

Thanks for the video. I have been wondering how you folks were doing during the hurricane. Stay safe.

[@friedakiezebrink277]

We in Holland had the most dry summer ever. I had to give birds water everything was dry out. Wauw You are so great at drawings it is beautiful You can ASK much more You have talent . Great art top 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

I am so glad that your family has been safe during this his weather event

[@NS-pf2zc]

I hadn't thought of doing art for an income stream...I've been trying to think of ways to support the expenses it takes to get this homestead up and going. Good idea!

[@lifephotos]

Very nice squirrel drawing. Loved the way you did the catchlight in the eye.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

Glad y’all made it through the big blow folks! Thanks for the update!

[@Annie.xx-xx]

Aww Jaime I'm so glad you're all ok. Your art work is beautiful. I hope you don't get much more rain. Stay safe xxx💟

[@rachelshomemakeithomestead2826]

Hahaha, how i love chickens! 🐔🐔🐔

[@hangingwiththewolfmanwolfm7737]

I am glad y’all faired pretty well.

[@hanorabrennan8846]

Only came across you today but really like your delivery and style. Very professional. TFS.

[@babs2522]

I'm so glad that you guys are all ok. Jaime your Squirrel drawing is amazing, well done. I'm looking forward to your next videos, love to you all xx

[@yvette6160]

So glad y’all did well. Thank You for the update. Demanding 🐥 I love it 😊. Beautiful artwork, absolutely amazing 😉. 🤗🐓🐥🤠

[@galesmith1490]

I'm so glad you all weathered the storm so well! But really I never had any doubt your level of preparedness! I loved the art video by the way. Being able to educate yourself is a perk of homesteading I think, as well as lucrative so it definitely was a great vid to share. And wow, you're so talented!

[@yotagerlie]

Lovely drawing ❤

[@SailorsMrs86]

And to think all that artistic talent has been in you this whole time and you're just now letting it out! You're inspiring me to pick up my sketch book again. I haven't touched it in years. Congrats on the commission! And you know... surviving the storm! ;) I'm glad things are fairing fairly well for you guys. Love your videos! Keep'em coming!

[@shannonleta]

OMG! Your hair looks amazing! i absolutely love that color on you - totally suits you! Also, so glad that you and your family are safe after this horrible hurricane. Last year around this time we were hit with Irma (my husband and I are in Miami, born + raised) and we were without power for 10 days - no cell service for 3 of those days. We also survived Hurricane Andrew (1992) so most seem like a breeze after that...although it never really gets easier. I am sure you guys had ample supplies and had prepared for the storm, which is honestly the best you can do! Sending love and positive vibes your way! xxoo

[@jkhenderson1]

So happy yall are ok! Glad you were able to sell the pigs. Great timing! Hopefully the worst has passed for you now. You've had a lot of rain for sure! We are in a drought although we've had some rain here in Texas. Stay safe! Oh my gosh! Your art is fantastic!

[@easymac79]

7:38 That is excellent. Great when things work out, and that is a system designed to work when needed for sure.

[@thedevilcomes2011]

Good to hear you made it through relatively unscathed! Keep it up :)

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

Glad you're all good. I knew you would be. But shit happens in storms, no matter how well prepared you are. And you've been through more than your share, so you have a good perspective on what actually happens during a disaster. Thanks for the valuable information.

[@johnsonbrandon807]

Glad you guys survive the storm can't wait to see your next video .

[@HowToDoAnything777]

Your art is amazing! Love your solar setup 🙂

[@jsrocker1776]

Glad to see you guys are ok. Beautiful drawing btw...

[@sharonfernandez2739]

Wow squirrel! The chookie feeding frenzy was so funny! Glad you are doing well!

[@StacyWatson2024]

So glad all went well, chickens cracked me up😂❤️ adorable

[@calikellyr]

You are AN AMAZING artist!! Glad you're safe.

[@mickgatz214]

Great Video Report, and great drawing!!! Greetz from Australia. :) Mick

[@helenemadsen7231]

Happy to see that all of you are doing all right, best wishes

[@jackiebradburn7521]

Glad you had something to hold on to...lol Florence was very kind to us here on our little farm at the 1500 foot level not far from you at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Enjoy your videos and going to enjoy your art...WB
