[@herbhook71]

I hope you take the sweet kitty with you or find a good home for her 🐾♥️🐾

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

@@herbhook71 We will absolutely figure out the best scenario for King Louie 🐈‍⬛

[@AndrewLumsden]

In 10, 20, 30... years time when you and the kids look back at these videos, you will all remember the good times. You must keep multiple back-up copies! Having told the world when you will be away, I sincerely hope your insurance company still provides you cover!

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

I’m 76 and still got Excited when you announced what you had planed. The park was totally amazing and great to see the children having fun, as well as the Adults. After three years you so needed this trip. So I’ll be coming along as I truly feel like you are family. Lots of love to you all xxxxxxxx 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

[@michaelbartell1166]

❤Ah, the eternal quest to keep your cluckers clucking without becoming a snack for the local wildlife! Here are some humorously serious suggestions: 1. **Fort Cluck**: Upgrade your chicken coop to something that could withstand a siege. Think moats (without water, unless you want chicken pirates), high fences, and perhaps a drawbridge. Electric fencing can give a 'shocking' experience to any predator thinking of a chicken dinner. 2. **Guard Llama or Donkey**: Yes, you read that right. These animals are known for their protective instincts. A llama might spit at predators, while a donkey will bray, kick, and chase. Plus, they add a certain... exotic flair to your backyard. 3. **Motion-Activated Sprinklers**: Nothing says "Keep Out" like an unexpected shower. Set these up to give any predator a surprise bath. It's like a water park, but the only ride is "Get Outta Here!" 4. **The Scarecrow 2.0**: Forget the old straw man; we're in the 21st century. Use a robotic scarecrow that moves and makes noise. Maybe even one that looks like a famous movie villain for extra laughs (and scares). 5. **Nightly Lockdown**: Make it a ritual to lock your chickens in a secure coop at night. Think of it as tucking them into a fortress. No predator can argue with a good lock and reinforced wire mesh. 6. **Chicken Armor**: Okay, this might be taking it a bit far, but imagine your chickens strutting around in little custom-made armor. Not practical, but definitely a conversation starter. 7. **Noise and Lights**: Predators hate well-lit areas and noise. Solar-powered lights that flicker on at dusk and a radio set to play the most annoying pop music you can find. Predators might just leave for some peace and quiet. 8. **Smell Deterrents**: Use predator urine (available at garden stores) around the perimeter. It's like telling other predators, "This territory is claimed, and by something scarier than you." 9. **Training Your Chickens**: Teach them to be ninja chickens. While this won't really work, imagining your chickens performing kung fu moves against a fox is entertainment in itself. 10. **Neighborhood Watch**: Get your neighbors involved. If everyone's looking out for predators, you create a community defense system. Plus, it's a good excuse for a neighborhood barbecue - predators hate the smell of grilled chicken... wait, maybe not that last part. Remember, while these suggestions are wrapped in humor, the core ideas are quite practical. Combining physical barriers with deterrents usually does the trick. And if all else fails, just remind yourself, you're engaged in the ancient art of poultry protection - it's practically historical!😊

[@shirleydtaylor6846]

Wow I am 84, glad you’re doing this with the kids. So much fun and adventure. Will be watching all the fun and smiles. Safe adventures we all love you guys.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

@@shirleydtaylor6846 thank you for your support! We’re excited! 🤩

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Awesome place! Also hope to see you guy's in Florida!

[@mrbill8542]

That's the most complete RV park i've ever seen---WOW !!!

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

@@mrbill8542 right!!!! We felt so spoiled! It was AMAZING! 🤩🙌🏻

[@robertmeyerholtz8504]

My wife and I were snowbirds for 14 years. Enjoyed every time. We went to Ft Myers each year just to stay out of the freezing temps. Even Tampa has cold temps. The west coast is a slower pace but the big lake in the center of the state is great for fishing fresh water. Deep sea fishing is great if the ocean has small waves. Big waves make the day miserable. Have fun.

[@SheilaHomes]

What do you mean back to work? you said three Months. :) 🤣. what a fun video. I love how you throwing each other off the floaties. keep on Trucking! 🏍⛽🛻🌎💥🚌

[@tomjulian1525]

When you get to Florida, a must see is NASA. You and the kids will love it. Also the Lake Wales , Mt Dora area. If you go to the Keys, go visit Ft Jefferson.

[@edwardcampeau8357]

So happy for you guys.Can’t wait to see the vacation.Your family is so lucky to get off the homestead.I don’t recommend Disney too expensive anymore.Just take your time enjoy each other.Ed from Michigan

[@scottboyette8600]

I was born in Miami and raised in Sarasota. The Ringling museum is a must in Sarasota. Remember to see the areas of the state not near the beaches. There are amazing springs near Ocala that you can swim, kayak and canoe in. The everglades are an amazing combination of ecosystems. I think your kids would love learning about the different ecosystems while they are schooling on the trip, and they they’d get to see them in person. Florida City south of Naples has some of the best fishing in the state. See of can get into Pennekamp State Park and take the kids snorkeling. Boca Chica state park is just north of Key West but hard to get reservations. Try staying in the state parks because they are beautiful and better than an RV park. Stock up on bug spray, but for you and the RV. You’ll need it! There are 4 poisonous snakes in FL and Cotton Mouths are very aggressive. Have FUN!! I’ll be watching.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

@@scottboyette8600 thank you so much! We’re excited! I’ll try my best to get to all these lovely places! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@Gordon-y2k]

[@terrybenton4553]

Good afternoon, Jen and Nick. We're pseudo neighbors from St George. Have watched them build the Waterpark for the last couple of years on our trips to Huuricane. Plan on taking the grandkids soon. Also looking forward to the Ropes Course that's opening soon. Wife and I Drive to Florida almost yearly for cruises out of Florida, will be there in January, 2025. If you're into beaches, the gulf beaches are nicer than the Atlantic Beaches. Florida Keys if you can. Obviously with kids, the amusement parks. If you like seafood, try Felix's Fish Camp in Spanish Fort, Alabama on the way over or back. Lots more depending on your route. You'll have fun, we do!

[@mscarlarn]

How fun!,

So fun to watch you all at Yogi’s! This is your Indiana friend, originally from Tampa/St.Petersburg. If you are in the St.Pete area, check out Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, and Sarasota. Sarasota has the whitest sand beaches. Wish I could make it down south to meet you all, but my plans are for Oct. ‘25 for my 50th class reunion (I know you thought I was younger! LOL!!) Can’t wait to go along though via your KZbin channel. I know you’ll have a Great time! Stay safe!! Your Indiana friend, Cyndi❤

Get in touch with bluegabe or deermeat for dinner utubers. When you get to Florida. They do all kinds of thing on and in the water. They love meeting other utubers and including them in a catch clean and cook.

[@jamesedwards9778]

Beaches are beautiful in Florida, but may be a little cool by the time y’all plan on getting there.

[@Lala-up3ib]

Heck yeah! A winter road trip will be awesome adventures and learning. I predict an EPIC road trip. St Andrews st park Florida. Look it up and shell island on a rented pontoon boat or direct from the park in a shuttle boat. Beaches are beautiful there and not all crowded either. You and kids will love it.

[@freddien7]

Soo happy that you'all can go on a vaction, And for more than a weekend!! Hope youre "House Sittere" enjoys theyre stay at youres, Brilliant RV park, seems like a must place.

[@jeffmcauliff5315]

So happy for you guys!! I kinda do it leave the mountains for Arizona I spend two months exploring. Go gator hunting while in Florida. Even hog hunting there. I look forward to your adventures!!

[@donaldthompson3219]

Hi guys. You can stay at Rest stops, truck stops, Loves, TA, Pilot Ect. Stay out of Miami it is a cluster F. Just a thought on the property for when you leave. I would build a door that closes off access from the stairs to the deck. It can rise and lower. And you can lock it from inside and out.. This will give the house more protection.

[@hallenw]

Please let your Florida fans know if we can meet you. Advice steer clear of the big cities. 😃

[@angeltyson1966]

Yes, you deserve a break, but do you still still have a lot of work to do on your land as well? I understand winter is coming and I understand the closed in then feeling. Just wanna make sure you all have checked the boxes before you leave.

[@donaldhughes1629]

The lizards are a lot bigger in Florida and they bite really hard 😊

Just saw a video today and some parks won't let you in if your rv is over 10 years old so check when making reservations

[@Oldfunnylady1965]

Enjoy your adventures. What did you do with your cats. How do you set them up when you leave ? I have animals. That’s my issue

[@debradelpazzo2619]

The cats all got snatched by wildlife predators. As of a couple of weeks ago there was one left, but it’s probably gone now too. The family didn’t provide any safe shelter for them! 😭😡
