Military box retrieval | What we found on our new homestead when the snow melted?

In this video, we head back to the off grid property to retrieve our military box and give you a tour of our new pasture and what we found at the new homestead.

Idea #1... Get rid of that scraggly red crap on your face. A nice, well-groomed beard is totally acceptable these days, but full-grown whiskers are frowned upon... lol Who knows what could emerge from there... LOL

[@9252LIFE]

One day when you become a man you’ll find that you can choose to do as you want with yourself. I’ve never looked at another man that closely to even think that he needs to shave or what not. And believe me, I know what people think is “acceptable” these days. Take care Paul.

[@KurtisSchulze]

Paul I can believe you would even take the time to leave such a “petty” comment, but then I saw your last name and it all made sense. Enjoy living your “petty” life.

[@lipsticklodge7526]

I like trimmed beards also!

[@sharkcat8442]

I would say some people just can't grow their beards and they don't want to see long nice beards on other people too

[@sharkcat8442]

A man who calls beard a crap, is he even man tho? Ask yourself this question Paul Petty

[@angelaparadis4676]

I am loving this next chapter of your family’s life….so glad you are bring us along with you. Love watching your videos and you guys teaching your girls real life skills they are amazing 🤩….see you in the next one

[@jimthompson9992]

Young Man.... just when I thought there was nothing that you, your lovely wife and those beautiful young ladies could do that would impress me....here you go again! Mind blown!! What a fantastic homestead your family have started!! I guess I should never underestimate what your family is capable of! I, personally, love what you're doing around the place. I'm excited to see what happens next!! Now, as for the girls club rules....move number 2 to first place...then perfect! As always, thanks so much for letting us tag along on your adventures! Take care, my off grid family, be safe and may God bless you all!

[@musicluvr70]

You summed it all up perfectly Jim, so I'll just like your comment and save myself some hunting and pecking. I too am excited to see things move forward here.

[@9252LIFE]

Thank you Jim! Nice hearing from you as always. Hope you are doing well!

[@davcox100]

Wow Chad. The new homestead has so much potential. The girls are going to love the freedom to play and explore. But most of all their going to learn so much from you and Naomi.

[@tp06]

Looks like a beautiful property. Looking forward to future videos.

[@jimcrowell5093]

What an absolutely perfect place for you all I'm happy for you Chad. Looks like a forever to me👍👍🙏✌

[@9252LIFE]

Thank you Jim. It is a keeper for sure

[@PaullaWells]

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys build out your homestead for sure. I'm still so grateful y'all found this place. I bet everyone is very glad to have their beds back. 🤣

[@9252LIFE]

oh man yes!

[@juliajohnson5276]

I would definitely get rid of the small trees.....it was so cute reading the clubhouse rules that the girls made. I remember having similar rules when I was young. Hurray for more frequent videos coming our way.

[@rodcharlton1889]

Outstanding... can't wait to see what you do with the homestead. So much potential there. If you're going to raise a large herd of sheep, just keep in mind they eat a lot. Just a couple sheep can keep an acre of pasture pretty well trimmed to the ground all the time. Goats have a wider diet, but again a couple goats can keep the grass trimmed pretty good too. Very nice to see what you're up too... looking forward to the next video.

[@swimupstream5858]

You guys are certainly survivors. Blessings.

[@RidgeLife]

Man! Seeing that chicken coop made with Jason's milled planks brought back memories!

[@TheFLYLADY]

Any water on the new property?

[@9252LIFE]

Well water. No ponds or creeks but just down our road a couple miles we have a huge lake and river and there is a artiesian well.

[@robertmiddendorf1519]

Beautiful property....forget the sheds...those are girls clubhouses....lol...you'll figure it out

[@alanparadise3139]

Chad tell Tylynn I love Tylynns sassy attitude each of your daughters have a sweet demeanor and personality about them. Your girls are adorable. And so hard working. But there learning from you and Naomi you're teaching them how to work and live on a homestead giving good values through out there entre lifes. Love this family!🤠❤👍🙏🙏 P.S. Love the club house Rules Tylynn!

[@lisarobertson5164]

Hi Chad and beautiful ladies, so very glad that you are all doing well. I was getting quite worried. What an awesome new place. Looking forward to your new videos and have missed them. God bless 🙏 Sending ❤ from the Ottawa Valley, Ontario 🍁

[@mercedesesparza5165]

I've seen tou Chanel alot , and I love it, you and your wife have definitely taught your girls to be self sufficient, they will never need a man to care for themselves, those girls are and I mean my # 1 strong and helpful humans. Keep up the great work together.

[@richardmercado6700]

[@1944chevytruck]

I like the way you repurpose things!

[@margaretcooke7016]

Hi, glad things are shaping up. I think you might have to clear some trees, saftey for animals and children. Lots is places for Bears and other such to hide and sneak up and observe. However, I know you will solve it all out. Blessings. Oh glad you can get your stuff out from the other Property . Remember if no one has lived there for a while, the unwrlcomed guest have had a free for all and maybe consider it all theirs. God Bless

[@9252LIFE]

Thank you Margaret. Our dogs and animals took this land back from the unwelcomed guests already.

5:15 Well, after all of THAT climbing/jumping/pulling work, I think she DESERVED a snack! :D :P

[@lindaballard]

Beautiful family and homesteading adventure! Brings back some wonderful memories, lessons learned and love shared on farm I grew up on in TX. My dad worked Bell Helicopter full time, built our home and had 2 gardens a year, an Orchard. spring chickens, cows, lambs, baby piglets with hog cracklins every February. My parents grew up in the depression, they knew how to survive and thrive on the homestead. May the Lord bless your family with His wonder. wisdom, peace, protection and love!!! 🙌🙏💙❤💗💗💗💗🙏🙌

[@kenn1936]

WOW - fantastic news that you have been able to go back and retrieve some of your belongings. You must have duplicates of some items now. Time for a 'garage sale'?? Everything is looking fantastic Chad. Girls are stretching since I saw them last!! "knock it down". LOL!!!😜 Never mind chicken coup - those girls would probably love that shed/building for a play house/hangout.

[@trudeehanson3177]

How many acres is this place? It’s a beautiful place with lots of fun amenities.

[@9252LIFE]

40 acres

[@sharonswisher7274]

Leave the live trees there. Get good livestock dog(s) to live with the sheep and goats 24/7/365. Enjoy your family and homestead.

[@joycejohnson7076]

That place looks amazing except for the winter, I'll stay in Oklahoma...

[@Quacks0]

9:20 Well, ya see, that's da way dat da goat says, "I love you" and "Thanks for all da hay-spreading work" --- giving her a back-rub wif his chin. :D :P

Beautiful property. I am Just amazed by all your awesome family, You all have great skills, are hard workers , creative, talented, loving, and caring with all your beautiful animals. Love all you guys, have an awesome day. xox

The woods around the new property are beautiful, like the woods here in Romania 🇷🇴

You All Deserve This! I enjoy watching all the videos!

[@Quacks0]

5:25 Good deal --- letting Daughter take a break and ride her bicycle way off in da background there, just as long as she stays well away from where Daddy's doing da dangerous heavy-lifting stuff. :D

[@DoctorBill]

If you get livestock get a couple donkeys to protect them. Donkeys don't take no $H!T from predators.

[@karnesrussell]

Looks like you're girls a wheelbarrow or wagon to carry water and wood. Y'all should be carrying at least a.22 for just in case. Set up a shooting range. The more you shoot the better ya get. Burn the dead grass to improve the pasture. Leave the trees you will need them down the road. Get more dog's, a large pack keep them safer and scarier. God bless y'all. Nice place. Good luck 🤞

[@Quacks0]

5:14 Yep, now DAT'S da "smart 'n' proper parenting" way to do it, Chad --- just serve da little ones a tasty healthy snack to keep 'em contented and occupied while dey hafta chill in an out-of-da-danger-area spot so Daddy can get da hazardous lifting/transporting tasks done. Just like how ya simply sprinkle a little grain on da ground in a spot where ya want da chickens to congregate and keep outta da drop zone while ya cut da dead tree down. :D

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

You have a beautiful place brother,I would love to see you blog more,I don't think that I would change a thing

[@charlesurrea1451]

My old man used to tell me about widow makers, "Keep your head on a swivel or you're going to lose it!" I don't know what your water situation is but I'd think apples and cherries would do well by the shack.

[@dcsc1]

Again, couldn't be more happy for you guys! This property is stella 👌 All the animals are going to be in heaven. Personally I love that you're keeping the trees for now, there is plenty of pasture and to have lovely shady places for the animals in summer and windbreak protection in winter is just what they need. Look forward to coming along on this wonderful experience, hard work will pay dividends here, that's for sure. Thanks for the viewing, we DEFINITELY all have you and family's back, for sure! Never seen so many people rooting for a family and everyone is so nice in the comments. Great community ❤

[@mikeunum]

I can't say it often enough. Your daugther is really amazing. She is great and funny. You must be very proud of her. Nah, the others too but in this video she killed you, haha, old an.

[@jant3]

For the field, If it was us we would just trim ploys the bottoms of the trees. Gives the animals a place to go for shade but doesn’t allow predators to hid. Clear vision for u too when ur looking for animals.

[@mikeboham7142]

Happy for you and your family.

[@hombredeacero3131]

Beautiful scenery on your land and surrounding area. Great video

[@randymiller1604]

Such an awesome place I believe that at one time that property may have been a farm I see no large trees many farms in the UPA were abandoned when they used up the topsoil it wasn’t very thick perfect for you guys no swamp all good God bless my favorite family

Fencing and more fencing , best way to keep live stock in and predators out both four legged and the worst of all two legged ones. Chickens might need a fence over head as well to keep them winged predators away.

How far fr your old property to new property?? Also is there any water on new property? Such as spring,river,pond? Love your adventures 💖

we would like a pond at some point.

[@displacedyooper9987]

So happy to see you guys posting more again. Happy to see you finally found a beautiful place to dig your heals in and not just spinning your wheels at the last place. Don’t get me wrong it was an AWESOME place, but I could see the STRESS and you as a father and husband I personally know it’s HARD to ask your family to endure all the things you guys had gone through to continue daily and feel like you’re never going to get a break. At least NOW you have a good roof over your heads and if you need to take a break from the daily go go go, you can. I’m excited to see your guys progress as the new place has SO MANY more benefits. Hope to get up your way a LOT more this summer. Congrats, so happy for you guys

[@AB-so3jv]

I love ur new home!!! For the trees, just cut off all the lower branches up to 6' high.... u all can walk under, seat under and it is a shelter from the sun for the animals... thats what we r doing in our lot, so we can safely walk under all the trees and no one can hide under and we get to keep the trees.

QUESTION About Work, Is this place closer to work ?? Obviously it is not so far out, but did you end up moving closer, that would be a bonus. . . .
