Making Progress on the Offgrid Homestead

[@realkilju]

You need a wheelbarrow

[@earthangel8730]

Be sure to get a wheelbarrow with solid rubber tires. The inflatable type are a nightmare on rough terrain.

[@barbsteward5166]

Exactly what I was thinking! I thought “I need to send him a wheelbarrow”!

[@Rend65]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@1dkappe]

Mechanical advantage wherever possible. But his car isn’t a pickup truck.😢

[@GDixon-ch3yl]

You can buy him one...

[@AzBob01]

Just keeps on looking better and better, Mick. Keep up the good work.

[@brandonrose6404]

You do such pretty painting of plants and flowers, you should think about painting some of them on those cabinets. It would look nice against the black paint.

[@sarahwitt8570]

And on the rocks

[@sarahwitt8570]

Very nice work on the stonework around fire pit

[@brentwentfishing]

LOL! 😂 Road Barrels are in season! 🤣 Glad to see you back, Mick! I will continue to toil.

[@WideCutSawmill]

A little tip for keeping paint from drying out. After tapping the lid down tip the can upside down then set it right side up again. The paint on the lid will dry in any bad seal areas and seal the lid perfectly.

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

Your projects always improve your surroundings so much.

[@Jeremy_936]

If your siding is too short on the back, you put extra wide trim boards on the corners and call it a design enhancement.

[@Katy_living_simply]

You need to help yourself and buy a wheelbarrow!!! Glad you're back! ❤

[@jasonborn867]

Seeing a young man improve his homestead and toil for food is 100% worth hitting the like button. GREAT JOB!!! Now let's split a few fire logs and make some rustic front steps!

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Nice path to the woods and the fire pit looks good. Have you ever thought of widening the path to your cabin so that you could drive your car up closer to it? That would save a lot of time and energy with everything you have to carry from car to cabin. Just a suggestion.

[@marcruhland2721]

Was thinking the same thing 😂

[@ronaldskinbern4869]

get a propane roofing torch for the weeds and you'll save your back and knees the effort of weeding gravel every week

[@zero-kc8ym]

I live a little like this in Nevada and I use a snow sled all day in summer or winter it’s the best thing to have a move fire wood,rocks,trash everything I highly recommend getting one and when you get some money once you get a 4 wheeler and a sled you will never go back

[@CarGuy2024]

Thanks for sharing your adventures, Mick. We are keeping you in our prayers and look forward to your next "visit"!

[@walkinginwatercolourswithmicah]

Place is coming along nicely! Always enjoy seeing what you're up to Mick.

[@WideCutSawmill]

Rome was not built in a day. Brick by brick. Bucket of gravel by bucket of gravel. 👍🏼

[@dufflitplaysgames]

Love seeing all the progress you’ve made since the beginning, great work!!

[@XXxshaboomxXX]

never apologize for the content of your videos! We’ve all stuck around to see whatever you do no matter the scale. And im sure i speak for others when i say sometimes these videos where you start or complete projects or just do chores are relaxing and fun to watch

[@bettytroyer9436]

I like the fire pit! And I'm glad you added the 'toil for your food' ending.

[@annduke5573]

Dude, I'm just amazed at everything you've done so far! I know it's hard, but if you set your mind to it, it will all get done. Good Luck!

[@llorylloyd]

He makes it look easy

[@reeft]

@@llorylloyd What part exactly?

[@tularegirl]

Even the day-to-day simple things that show what it's really like living like you are, can be fun to watch. It's a peek into your day-to-day life. Thank you for sharing, Mick. Stay safe and take care.

[@mineton1293]

I just love how excited you are for road barrels!

[@debyarger3084]

You're doing great. the gravel path,your story telling and music...spot on!

[@victoriacrain7146]

The tidying, weeding and gravel…two thumbs up!

[@Shrubcrafter]

Great work, Mick! You are an inspiration to a cohort of recent graduates... many of whom are struggling to find their way. Thanks for braving it!

[@annieamiguet7356]

Hi Mick. Everything is coming along nicely. Small steps and before you know it each project will be finished. I really love your pathway - beautiful. Nice find, one man's trash is another's treasure!! Over the years we have used what we have, not always the 'proper' materials recommended, and things have turned out ok. You are an amazing young man who is not afraid of hard work. You will be rewarded when looking back on everything you have achieved. Take care. 😊❤👩‍🦽

[@smokinsensei580]

I could sit here and watch you feed a campfire and talk about random projects or whatever came up . Love the content and love what you're doing with the place. Keep it up Bud 😊

[@Wild_Free]

Watching these adventures have been Great! Glad to see more of it! 😎

[@zandraengel4771]

Many hardware stores that mix paint, have a mis tint area. I have found discounted quality gallons often. Another hint is to cover your wet brushes in plastic and put in frigerstor so you dont have to clean brush between coats. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@anneskic]

You have an amazing voice, Mick. Have you thought of a part time job being an audiobook narrator?

[@a.p.5429]

I was thinking that also.

[@ameliaholdstock3662]

Yea I was totally thinking that to !

[@Nickelson28]

Love the progress you are making! Always happy seeing what you have done. Enjoy your summer, winter comes quickly.

[@jeannettebalcom6826]

I love the look of your path. Your place is sure shaping up. What a joy to see develop.

[@nancytaylor511]

Great video. Love watching your home improvements and inspire me to get moving on my own projects. The music is pleasing too. Blessing today and always.

[@loisgalloway7143]

I've enjoyed this video so much that this is the 3rd time I've watched. I love what you've done to the outside. It looks so nice and neat. God Bless.

[@virginiavilas]

Looking Good!!! The gravel and stones are beautiful and profoundly sensible. 👍 -V

[@virginiavilas]

Mick, have you read Thoreau’s “On Walden Pond”? It’s not Alaska - but your adventures remind me of his. And if you ever just want to hold your KZbin audience in thrall, I’m certain reading aloud passages from Thoreau in your melodious voice would be a hit - especially during those winter months when other projects are thin on the ground… or buried in snow 😄 -V

[@peg9202]

Mick, you are doing great. Take time to step back and look at all you have accomplished! I love your stone pathways. They look great and those stones on the borders, make them look finished and will help keep the gravel in place. Appreciate the progress you have made and just keep taking a step at a time. You are making great progress on the cabin and the grounds surrounding it. I enjoy your videos and they remind me there is still work to be done around my cabin in the woods. There will always be projects. No matter where you live or what you are doing.

[@badkat60]

Good work, Mick! That's some hard work-pulling weeds, etc...especially with your bare hands! Your walkways look great--the bigger stones around the house and down the paths look very "fairy-tale" 👑 You've done a great job!! Thanks for the video!

[@suezaple4950]

the use of the gravel look's epic Mick, make it look so clean around the camp nice job , looking forward to your shower build . Nice find with the barrel !. Now that will come in handy , The fire pit area is going to look great love how the stones are laid well done . thanks for bringing us along .

[@wanderlust62]

Every bit of work is progress! I know the "by hand, bit by bit" waiting for available funds. Your propery is looking great!

[@GrannyS217]

Looking better and better ! You are extremely talented!

[@leesalyer8944]

That walking path looks amazing !!

[@TEXASTR0NG]

“Toil for your food.” Made me so happy! 😊

[@terria9739]

Glad to see you busy and improving your site around the cabin. Weeds are really persistent. Hopefully, you won't have to be pulling them constantly! Thanks for the update.

[@PhilCatorio]

Hello Mick: way to go, the land and the cabin are starting to look great. You are starting to make good decisions for your land. You have to take small steps and before you know it your project list will almost be taken care of. Break up the day and try to get a few items taken care of each day and start. You are making great strides and when you stop and look back at what you did, wow. Hang in there and have fun but your are doing a very good job.

[@sarahwitt8570]

River rocks are such a nice touch of character

[@JohndaCantrell]

It shines through that you have a lot of your mother's creative spirit. I love that. Both of your parents are icons, I hope your leaning on them for practical advice. They know Alaska, dang, that has to be hard. Proud of every step you make moving forward!

[@donnamullins1271]

The property is looking good. Looking forward to your future videos! All the best, Mick!

[@delonaszlavik1174]

Great video as always. You are doing a wonderful job on your property, looking nice...

[@tomm5780]

Having watched your vids for a few months, I have to say...for somebody so young, it is hard not to admire someone who has decided what they want to do with their life (now) and what price you are willing to pay. Keep forging forward young man, I am looking forward to watching.

[@mmiller1011]

Dang Mick. It’s looking great! Texas Granny

[@kathiesanders1533]

Wonderful video and you are doing a great job on your home

[@camaromodschannel]

I was sitting there watching your video and I seen the Black paint next to the Cabinets and I was saying "NO" not the Cabinets.. to late...

[@carolynmesser7199]

Thx Mick always good to see what you’re doing. 😊

[@sgrvtl7183]

Nice to see you actively engaging in your Alaska cabin! Keep Going~~All looks GOOD👍👍

[@Maggie-eo3rd]

Keep plugging away!! God Bless! 🙏❤️🙏

[@martylaughery9138]

Yay! A new Mick video! ❤️🙏🏼

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Everything starting to look amazing just love it ❤

[@IzzaMeanCat]

This was enjoyable. 👏🏻☺️✌️🐾🐾🌻🇱🇷

[@susanyates4233]

Your path is brilliant.

[@jeanbarton4418]

Good way to stay busy Mick ! Enjoyed your video!

[@theresebennett5372]

Mick, the phrase toil for your food seems appropriate with what you talked about today. I think about anyone with a pioneer attitude, and that is what needs to happen. When I am working on projects, it's more like spinning in circles sometimes. Yet, at the end of the day, there is a sense of satisfaction at what was accomplished. Please never forget this! Until next, please blend work and pleasure in a balanced way.

[@ginnysulya9805]

One step at a time! Keep up the good work Mick! 🤗😁

[@pennygardner8496]

Ever bit ,makes a difference

[@daveschwartz6805]

Great job Mick! Keep up the good work

[@janetnewbill291]

Nice fire pit. You’re getting things done. Before winter❤

[@armyofone3893]

Thank you for this beautiful brake from the real world (Ugg). 😘

[@jameshall5784]

Glad that you're buttoning up things. Be safe!!!

[@catherinegoldie6724]

Hey Mick, you are doing an amazing job on your homestead, I’m sure your parents are proud of what you have achieved in such a short time, I think that you have surprised a lot of us on your dedication and creativity, take care.X💕🧺

[@jameswarner261]

Do some fishing catch and cook/prep, maybe some hunting as well. Maybe what you eat, how you cook your meals.

[@oldladylinda]

I watched it twice. Just because. Such a dedicated young man.

[@janicedunn895]

That's the only way we have ever started a burn pile fire. Good job. We always go with the most convenient and fastest way to do things regarding property clean up and all our friends do the same.

[@joeannperschall7226]

Looking real good. Lovevthe fire pit.😊

[@susanyates4233]

Your path looks really good, a lot of hard work. So does your fire pit.

[@IslandlifeTasmania]

your property is looking better every video cheer and best wishes from Tasmania

[@tattooedredheadx]

ROAD BARRELS ARE IN SEASON! LoL! That got me.

[@tammy8050]

Improvements look great!

[@TheArtisanbard]

Yay barrel! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

[@northernoutdooradventures3883]

Looking good! Keep up the hard work!

[@CarolynJBean]

Thanks for sharing, your video's are interesting and nice to watch❤❤❤

[@sallyfrenette9643]

Its really looking good Mick. And your outdoor firepit is gorgeous. I love the way you laid the rocks.

[@aliceevans3357]

We will pray you find a wheelbarrow, either the dump or the road. Everything is looking so nice, you're such a hard worker. We realize that survival and obligations come before making videos. That barrel was a great find, I'll stop and pick up stuff as well, have found some cool, useful stuff. Enjoy seeing what you're up to, stay safe and GOD bless

[@veegee3291]

Yoi've done a great job today, as per usual. Give yourself credit and know not every day is filled with a long Completed list. Keep truckin - You're getting there @ your own pace and doing a great job

[@sandrathomson1084]

Proud of you Mick👍🏻👍🏻♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@1wolfpup]

Your place is looking nice. You're making good progress. You might think about getting the fire wood going for winter so that this winter isn't so hard on you. God bless. Keep up the good work. 🏕️

[@maryhart637]

Looking good, Mick! It's always one step at a time.👏👏💚💚

[@annalinekennedy1027]

Love that you are a tidy organized guy

[@markburr6081]

Good work step by step you are always improving your living condition.

[@Itsjustmebeingme565]

It’s getting there! At least you’re moving in the right direction.

[@heathermachala7623]

That's a BA fire pit! The cabin looks good too,

[@belieftransformation]

Great progress; thanks for sharing! You’re inspiring to many young people! Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

[@tanjarott7535]

Looks great! Wow.

[@kellyp4377]

Wow, 🤩 Once you completed all you wanted to, wonderful transformation!! it looks fantastic Fire starting…Not so much ;). (Safety first always✨)

[@BrakesBake]

Mick, Ace and I really enjoy your channel. Put out your episode as time permits, we will be here. Wonderful that you are getting there bit by bit. One step forward at a time. Way to grab the barrel. Have a great week! Dee

[@kenneth.handsome3443]

Neet fire 🔥 pit . I have to redo mine. Thanks for the idea

[@RonHight-un8uk]

It’s looking good Mick! Nice job with the little details that makes the place pop! Keep up the good work!

[@IVIaskerade]

You say a lot of cosmetic stuff is unnecessary, but I've always found that a clean tidy workspace and pleasant living area makes life far more tolerable when the small inconveniences happen. Today, my power washer blew a seal and I had to run out and grab a replacement which ended my patio cleaning efforts, but walking back through the front door and seeing everything in the kitchenaand lounge squared away just makes it all a bit better.

[@abou8963]

I love to watch your artistic vision. It's beautiful, useful, and highly creative. Thank you!

[@suecook3714]

Love seeing your videos

[@ChantzDavis3701]

Keep it going love your videos

[@marvine7396]

Nice work Mick!
