Because Shawn is going to come out with his on Shawn James sauces barbecue sauces more than likely he could probably come up with some spices as well and who knows what you can do with the garden food I could see his name up in lights already ,you guys have a uplatform to build on so maybe think about it I think it would be a great success.

[@claverhouse1]

That old washing machine was some find! I remember my grandmother using a mangle with the laundry when I was a kid.

[@helplmchoking]

Same here! My grandmother had one of them fancy electric ones, I was terrified of losing my fingers (or being sucked through and coming out as a pancake) as a kid

[@donnacole4227]

It's called a Mangle ? I've never heard that word but I'm familiar with the wringer washers for sure.

[@Mantreaus]

I grew up using a wringer washer and drying clothes on a line either in the basement during foul weather or on a line outside during dry weather. Found out that during winter that you could hang wet clothes on the line till they froze hard, then beat the ice out of them and they would be dried faster after bringing them inside. Could have used one like he has in the bush when I lived there without power instead of the creek and rocks. He's a lucky man to have a woman who would live that lifestyle in today's tech society.

[@dfuss2756]

That washer brought back fond memories of how strong my arms were back then!

[@sheilam4964]

@@donnacole4227 That's what we call them too in Western Canada, wringers. They wring out your wet clothes. You can start one item and add another to the tail-end of the first and just keep adding on from the wash tub till it is empty. They all go through the wringer and into the wash tub of cold rinse water behind. Then you swish them around in the rinse water, swing the wringer around to the side and put them all through the wringer again into the clothes basket to carry them out to the clothes line. Those wringers can jam up and tear your clothes pretty bad so you have to watch closely and catch that as quick as you can so you can unlatch the latch on the end that clamps the wringers together, to save your clothes. Doing laundry by hand or this way once a week soon reduces the number of clothes and linens you are willing to get dirty in 7 days. Another reason you wil reduce the number is because of the time it takes. I will take all day to haul & warm the water, wash & rinse a few tub-fulls of clothes (in the same water), hang the clothes on the line then wait for them to dry and the rest is pretty much the same except you can expect more wrinkles which you can iron out if you feel the need to look friendly to the neighbors or to look acceptable on camera. I see trips to the laudro-mat in the near future. ; - ) And less clothes & linens dirtied during the week. This will be done during the weekly trip for groceries, mail and uploading videos. Just like the old days. : - )

[@tonkatoytruck]

I used to help my grandmother with laundry in the 1950/60s with the same washer. Then once that was complete we would hang the clothes outside. Check my grandparents huge garden, they had a year round garden. Around the corner down the street was a mom and pop grocery store-- the charger grocery store was a few miles away. If we went to my uncle's house we would pick a chicken or 2 out and watched its butchering and defeathering. Had chicken dinner, veggies from the garden And of course had to take the laundry in. Does e1 remember how fresh the clothes smelled?

How I envy your lifestyle right now... I’m hoping one day I can do just that and leave behind all the crazy life that it’s living in a city with pollution, noise etc. Your wife joining you it’s the icing on the cake. I wish you two all the happiness in world. Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world. 😄

Thanks for all your videos. My family and I always watch them. I have learned a lot by seeing you building all those cabins. It's really inspiring. Thanks a lot and keep on going
