so glad you two finally took a break

[@somnathpal1656]

Hi

[@nitikanitu7342]

Nice

[@morellatovar4151]

Bien

[@roylove276]

I've followed you, Spencer and now the family since your 1st program aired. Simply 1 of the best weekly airing so far. Congratulations on removing those eyesores of un-needed light poles. Looking forward to the many more years of air time.

[@suedorfman7138]

Roy, have you looked at the Indie Project? A couple in Portugal. These are my two favorites.

[@gardengatesopen]

IKR!! I've been following since the beginning too, and the thing that amazes me right now is that it's already four years that has gone by!!! WHAT???!! FOUR YEARS?!!! 4 years, 2 kids, And now- The poles are finally GONE. The Uncontained Life Truly IS "The Good Life" !

[@lzee6875]

@@suedorfman7138 I also watch and love The Indie Project. This vlog and theirs are my favorites. Spencer and MacKenzie and family heading into the mountains at the same time as Theo and Bea come to my scenic country of Canada is amazing. Hard working families taking time to enjoy their dreams away from home. 🇨🇦🍁🦫

[@suedorfman7138]

@@lzee6875 I am in hot, hot Phoenix AZ. So I really appreciated their cool mountain trip and the great storm they drove through. Had to laugh at Kenzies reaction to mama and her 4 babies. I hope Bea and Theo have a wonderful trip and enjoy their overdue vacation. Bet Gingybear and Furnando will be so happy to see them. Take care

[@randytidmore8021]

Same here

[@cherishtoday1549]

You both deserve this so much, remember that what you are building, whether your home or your KZbin channel, is all for nothing if you sacrifice your health and your family time to achieve it. Take time regularly for yourselves as a family, because ultimately once you've dedicated all your time to your work, it will be too late for anything but regrets.

[@Hakulanni]

😊Wow... you actually shared a bit of your vacation with us, your fans. The aerial views were fantastic and to see the love you share with each other and the Children (and your pets), is truly great. You chose some amazing places for your break and I'm super happy you were able to finally take advantage of that. Thanks for sharing. Please take your time returning home...

[@suzettegawron919]

Yes!! Would love to come stay in the barn!! Have followed you kids since the very start of container’s delivery!❤️❤️💕💙🙏

[@dennis2376]

Nope not for me, there are poisons snakes hanging around there. :)

[@freedomisnotfree9129]

Understand the familiar power poles being gone... Looks great without WIRES!

[@janmoline]

Me too!! Lol. Even if I just got to camp near it! Hahaha

[@pchyland]

If we gotta meet you guys, I'd definitely do the barn B&B.

[@alantorrance6153]

Very nice that you managed to get away for a holiday trip - and timing it for getting rid of those power poles and wires was opportune. The various parks you went to looked delightful, and coming across the black bear with her cubs was so special. I imagine that was definitely one of the highlights of the entire trip.

[@dsmithmcse]

Congrats on the completion of your "AWESOME" home. I too have been watching you two for a couple of years and I'm envious and happy for you. You've done an amazing job on your container home. You've also built an amazing family. What an experience it will be for your kids to grow up in such a wonderful place.

[@terijohnson3110]

This trip was so well deserved. Hope you feel rejuvenated and ready to start something new. Can’t wait to see what you have planned.😊

[@doedoebirds1]

yeah , she was rejuvenated when she saw those bares .lol

[@bradfregger2561]

I think I reported this comment by accident.

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

I feel the same way. They really deserved this trip 🌄🌞🌞.

[@charlenefoster6779]

Looks lots better without the eye sore polls.

[@Papamoka]

To keep wasps away, hang a paper bag filled with packing material and a few pebbles to bulk it out to look like a wasp nest. No wasps will nest near it or venture around that spot. I've been doing this for three years and it works. My heart goes out to the electric company worker.

[@davidolson558]

Gasoline and fire work good too! Lol

[@gdaygday1209]

Thanks, will try 😜💯👍

[@sallyhawk8544]

My heart went to the worker too...I'm allergic to bees and would have been on my way to hosp. I about died when the bears were in the drive where you were staying. I enjoyed watching you the past 4 yrs

[@barbaraprovoast4603]

There are also patterns crocheting them, I did that after awhile. I think you could also make one out of paper mache and a balloon. They do work.

[@rosehobbs6051]

Of course where that nest was, the first time with heavy dew or rain your bag is history.

[@suzysuu2]

Oh that’s just lovely. You both deserve a break so so much. I hope that it was restorative and gave you a sense of no urgency to do anything but what you want. You need to do this more often just for your own sanity, your content is always fabulous no matter what you’re doing, so don’t worry about that! Greetings from a very green Scotland. You’d love it here too.

[@marybakalish7683]

We’re so blessed what we have trees, mountains, waterfalls, humans and animals. Nature is the best place. Glad you shared the beautiful scenery. Cheers 🥂

[@SilverA90]

and wasps

[@lyndaporter9156]

Time to build a playground for the ķids. That was a beautiful travel vlog, the scenery was amazing and seeing momma bear and her cubs was the so cute and entertaining to watch.

[@ronlheureux7623]

I'm hoping that a playground that you migh build will be snake free. Particularly free of water moccasins. The one thing that has long worried me about the kids safety in your homestead is those poisonous snakes. Rattlers aren't a picnic, either.

[@--Kenny-]

Very cute, till momma bear eats you alive

[@billroberts3864]

We are glad that you took some time to take a vacation after working on your home and property for the past four years. Now the yard looks much better with the power poles and wires removed. Thanks for taking us along on your vacation and sharing the bears with us.

[@Outback0423]

The last “long” drought in Texas, it had been so long since we’d had rain; that when it did finally rain, I ran outside and danced in it. Water binds us to the land, and to each other. I love my adopted home state (Texas), but I miss the rain and green of my “true” home state (Florida).

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I know exactly how you feel about losing those old electric poles. I remember when we had our old garbage can replaced with a shiny new one. There were so many good memories attached to the old can. Chasing it down the street during a windstorm, giving it a yearly bath, trudging down the driveway in two feet of snow carrying it to the curb, and standing on it to hang Xmas lights. It's been 17 years since the dented rust bucket actually went into the garbage truck. Thinking about it brings tears to our eyes. At least you have photo's of your poles. We never took any.

[@judymcgowan2881]

😂😂👍

[@chrismacdonald7955]

Sorry for your loss 🤣

[@jasontanner5873]

That's the funniest shit I've heard all day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💔

[@lilyalexi3905]

Exactly, I remember using those aluminum trash cans as a vessel...we would wash them clean and take them up a grass hill and climb into it and roll down the hill. It was fun and dangerous, but we had all the kids at bottom of hill ready to stop catch us and then the next kid would go up and do it again. The hill wasn't that high, it was just high enough to roll our small butts down as we all laughed coming down 🤪 Miss doing that, memories are all we have now but boy we had fun. Blessings to you and your family from El Paso Texas 💙

[@miskyloo887]

Couldn't stop laughing .. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be, its so sad, losing that garbage can.. Not even a photo😂😂😂

[@chesterrory]

Feeling emotional after removing a couple of useless, ugly posts, or cutting down an old tree, isn't make you weak or weird. It makes you a human, and we have very few of them left around here. I love how happy I feel after watching your videos, even if you not building anything just vlogging through a trip. You are awesome!

[@melissagrimes4871]

I’d love to see how close they are to all of the wind turbines(clean energy) monstrosities in Texas that take 80 gallons of oil to start up and when a bird flies into it and destroys it they haul it to a land fill where it lays forever waiting to disintegrate!!

[@jeangunn1564]

I agree and love to watch all of you having fun. 🛣🧸

[@davidepool5884]

Y’all definitely needed and deserved a vacation after spending so long building your house. Having those power poles and lines removed made a big difference in the way your place looks.

Oh my gosh I busted up laughing at those bears 🐻 you were freaking out. Girl I would have freaked out as well. Your trip was absolutely beautiful. The scenery was gorgeous and the water falls 😍 Thank you for taking us along. I'm glad you got rid of the old electric poles I was worried they would blow over in a storm. I truly love your home.

[@rodewerk5034]

I found a strawberry field in the mountains of Montana when I was young, after realizing I was stomping the strawberries, I figured out I could pick and eat them. A short while later a breeze blew in my face and it carried the foulest smell. A black bear had decided to join me in the patch, and even from 50ish yards away its stench was gagging. I actually had a brief moment of good sense and took me and my fishing pole the opposite direction of the bear.

[@edwardhines1514]

Loved the drone footage. So cool. Thanks for bringing the viewing public a long on your trip. Seeing the bears was really exciting. A tool kit for the car is essential. My dad gave me one when I got my first car decades ago and I still carry one to this day along with things I have added through the years, like a battery operated tire inflator, extra oil, brake fluid, window washer fluid, anti-freeze, rags, a funnel, duct tape, spool of wire, clamps, some nuts and bolts, tire repair kit and small gas can. Taking down the power poles sure cleaned up the property nicely. Can't wait to see what you two do next. Stay safe, have fun and keep enjoying life. Love your show.

[@jgivens1227]

So exciting to see you guys finally getting to go on a vacation. Beautiful scenery, the momma bear and 3 cubs was awesome. PLEASE TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE

[@deidrespencer5467]

I'm so glad you two finally took a break. You've both worked to hard for so long, you deserve it. Enjoy your wonderful holiday, and arrive home safe & sound. Love from Australia 💞

[@JIMMCCRANK]

This was the BEST video Ever. Starting with the power removal, I was a lineman for 30 years and know what they went through very well. I feel for the poor guy in the bucket because being attacked there doesn't give you much space to evade. And then going to the mountains, they sooth my soul and make life clearer. The bears....I love bears and seeing a mom and three cubs is really a pleasure. Thank you for this one. I do love all of your vids but this one does stand out. And yes it was well deserved. Be safe take care and hug the ones you love.

[@eloleddie]

I hope that you enjoyed your holiday as a family as much as we appreciated you taking us along on your vacation. What a beautiful change of scenery and probably temperature too! You earned it!

[@mboiko]

Watching you guys for 4.5 years you needed a break...it was a very different video, and I loved it.

[@GaryJones2012]

Having watched you since day one it's so nice to see you take a well deserved break and even more to take us along. After all the shooting, editing and posting all your videos you must have been tempted to leave the cameras at home, so thank you for sharing. For me having lived in the mountains of BC, Cotacachi, Ecuador, Boquete, Panama and Ajijic, Mexico, I agree with Kenzie that there is something truly magical and spiritual about living in the mountains. Something flatlanders never experience. As I live out what may be few years left as a flatlander again I really wish I was back in the mountains somewhere, anywhere. We all love your videos, but take lots and lots of breaks now that your home is finished.

[@catherinezenovich5483]

Thank you for taking us along on your wee holiday. The dogs would have loved swimming at that waterfall! You should totally convert the barn as your next project. Would make a great playroom/party room space for when the kids get bigger and want to socialise with their friends

I am so glad you took the time to get away and relax. Much needed time off.

[@calliope6085]

Ok. Here's the plan. The barn is replaced with a shop/garage. In between the shop and house will be a storm/root cellar. In between projects will include additional water storage for catchment of the rain roofs on shop and above cellar. Garden placement will need to be determined by best sun or diffused sun location. Near future will call for separate bldg to house new and improved battery storage for power. Don't forget the raised fort/playhouse with downstairs accommodations for the pups. Well, that's just a beginning. When do you get started?

[@kathyl5610]

Great plans!

[@chuckm260]

Good plans. As for the barn, now that the house is done, and they have more tools and experience, perhaps convert the barn to a guest (or club) house. We need somewhere to stay besides the trailer when we visit. LOL Speaking of "pups," wonder what they did with the dogs. Since they really don't have nearby neighbors (at least that they have talked about) I suspect they left the dogs at a dog kennel. (?)

[@ILGuy2012]

@@chuckm260 I thought they were living near their grandfather. I think the cattle we see sometimes belong to him.

[@chuckm260]

​@@ILGuy2012 ​ - I do remember them mentioning his grandfather years ago but I don't recall if he is still living or not. Good point about the cattle, though they could have inherited them. At any rate, yea, the dogs could very well be with the grandfather.

I love this vid, just as I’ve loved all of them lol I love that you guys took time for yourselves and your family to have quality time. My little family (me, my hus, and our almost 3 year old) just returned from a week in the mountains. It truly is the best and really makes you enjoy the tiniest of things so good for you. Also I totally understand where you came from mentioning how tough things can be doing it on your own, and feeling like you can never truly stop working. We can relate way too much, we’re both full time workers, full time students and of course full time parents. Wouldn’t trade it for the world though. Hard work will teach you an amazing thing or two so always pat yourself on the back and remember we’re raising amazing little ones who will pick up all of the amazing things we have done and will continue to do.💯❤️⛰💪🏾 lots of love!

A hint - If you set your mower on its highest setting [we mow our yard at 5”), your grass will stay green later into the summer. We have similar summer weather, here in southern Illinois and our yard never browns out. Something to consider.

[@randylenz254]

Snakes love that taller grass

[@mylifeinanutshell6931]

Setting it to low cuts into the vines or roots therefore killing the grass.

Since they’re in TX, they likely have warm season Bermuda grass that needs to be cut short. It’s not the same kind of cool seasons grass as IL.

And welcome to motherhood. as I told my son in law stay with both to them, as they were leaving for the hospital. Time flies by. So take time each day for your kids each other and for you both.

Oh boy, I did laugh when you arrived at your second destination, to find the mother bear and her cubs casually strolling up its driveway 🤣 It was classic to hear your son say, “bear” 🤣👏🏻 So pleased that as a family you got some time away to rest, relax and have time together. As a couple, you are amazing together and your achievement on building your own home is fantastic. Best wishes from Scotland. Ps: we don’t have bears here but we do have bees 🤭🤣😜

It is good to see you guys take a break and get some much needed rest and relaxation . The mountains are absolutely breathtaking . Now I hope you will not get any more power pole questions .

Great video! Nice to see the family going on a vacation. Take care and be well!

We just had a microburst knock down 20-odd power poles along a back road where we are. Must have been terrifying for the houses right next to them. Fortunately, the poles fell the other way from the houses... but unfortunately, that way was across the road, blocking it with energized wires. ⚡😳

Yay on getting those poles out. Wow, beautiful green trees and that waterfall was gorgeous. Nice to get away. Love the vlog :)

Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. Looking forward to many more awesome videos. That poor guy in teh bucket! No where to go and the wasps were not letting up!

Awesome vacation places and I bet Bo loved the baby bears with the mama! Everyone needs a break from the normal life chores and builds! So glad you are finally able to get there!!! Enjoy 😉
