We the you tubers grow your channel and then the Patreons come in and get first serve on vids and we get forgotten this is not very nice i know money is important to but does it cost you any money to upload a vid?😇💟💟💟 love you guys.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

@@arjanvogel6444 I dont think you realise what work goes into making these videos.. I spend hours and hours editing and it is a full time job and a crazy amount of work goes into filming them too ..if we had to rely on you tube we wouldn't earn enough to live...Does that sound fair? We appreciate your view but it makes us half a cent. Without our Patrons we wouldn't have been able to continue with our channel or our dreams . Hope this answers your question. Sarah x

No wonder you needed a soak that was just awesome. You are both properly Portuguese as you have superhuman strength to add to your plethora of talents. Beautiful to see you both transform the land through your own invention, Dr Doolittle like Sara skills, high chaparral fencing finesse, obviously beautiful Molly 4 legs and Timmy supporting you both. It is such an honour to have you as mates and Sara you have to pop to the pool with Molly sometime soon!

Hi guys. With the rubble, look around the ruin for the best view then start placing the rubble as foundation for a eventual breakfast terrace. Save carrying/disposing.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

What a great idea.Thank you for that awesome tip

[@thewheallons]

Great to see even more work being done to the ruin and happy to hear about Meatball. Boots, ummmm not so good. Think that might be a tasty Sunday dinner. Fingers crossed for no animal issues this week and that the vet does finally turn up to check the goats. We all need to know if you will or won't be hearing the patter of tiny hooves in the future. Have a good week, hope you got permission to have your fire. See you next Sunday.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Emma , we are going to try to get permission for a fire tomorrow probably because it has cooled down a little bit ..we will see. I will let you know in tomorrow's Weekly Update😁

You two have such wonderful personalities. Your videos are a joy to watch. I bet it would be funny to see the timelapse demo footage in reverse, so it looks like you built the room with a sledge hammer.

Really great that you are finding uses for the electric chainsaw! Looks cute! Great not to have a generator running when you just need to do a few things and you can be sure that your electric is pure solar! I know petrol is expensive right now but its a good attitude to have in general. Why waste petrol when you can just use the power of the sun! :)

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I think we will never not have a use for a chainsaw 🤣🤣🤣 And yes the less Fossil fuels we use on our land the better

[@clarisse942]

Hello Sarah andLuke, When I was young i had 4 chickens , no rooster.When they grew old in years one chicken (her name was Omelet) started to behave like a rooster.That happens. May be Boots is a kind of Queer? But she should not behave naughty. Maybe she does not feel understood enough.? Love for you al. Sarah your videos are great !!! And Luke you have so many talents!!!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Clarisse yes I do think maybe Boots is going through a change and is having trouble fitting in

[@teresabottroff5597]

Sarah you will never have baby chicks without a rooster unless you get fertilized eggs from someone with a rooster for her to set on. She is only doing what chickens do. Collect the eggs as she lays them and enjoy eating them. Raising animals is very fun and rewarding once you really learn their ways.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

We do have roosters Teresa and yes Raising animals is fun but also stressful 🤣

[@oscydog100]

Great effort guys 👍

[@601salsa]

Check out the home biogas digester....., 1ltr of weeds/food scraps a day will provide 3hrs cooking gas. Set up a solar panel and wind turbines combi system - notes a wind turbines go for a marine turbines. Vertical helix as it will capture wind from every direction. Even a small system would at least charge your electric power tools..... however get the best batteries solar batteries you can afford, cheaping out on the batteries will cost you more upgrading later.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you for this 😁

[@601salsa]

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife if it helps makes your life easier then it's worth it. I have been trying to figure out how to do something similar whilst recovering from injury. There is a ceramic Indian company who have non electric fridges (just add water literally). Look into serious intensive goat grazing to clear land instead. Set up a electric fence perimeter and let the goats loose, give them an area they can clear each day/week before moving it. Instead of burning brush piles..... buy a chipper and garden shredder. This will provide mulch. 1ft of mulch will suppress weeds and also retain more moisture. More moisture means less fire risk. See zaytuna farm Australia. The mulch will eventually compost down which will feed the soil improving fertility to grow flowers and crops. Also look into grey water reuse systems... eg earthships and permaculture.... it can be done in wicking beds and DIY for reasonably cheaply.

Hi Mimi I have no problems at all but I made about 4 different versions before I made this one and it is the best . It does not rub on his precious parts 😂😂 and I just rinse it every night and it is ready for him to wear in the morning. I do have to make him a new one every 6 months or so though but he runs and jumps on boulders every time we go out and rubs against everything he can rub against

Is that a young or old bird that has become a male? It could be some sort reproductive damage if it was definitely a female at the beginning or maybe if you don’ t have a rooster, she has decided to be the top player (physically still female but acting like a male). I am a little confused because her/his tail feathers don’t look male but if it is very young, maybe he is only now maturing?

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

He or she is nearly 6 months old now and the male still likes to try and have a go , and she hasnt crowed yet and yes those tail feathers .We still don't know what is going on there
