I know within a very few seconds of the video starting that Katie has filmed it! It has a particular artsy feel to it. Great positive informative video, thank you.

[@TheKraemerLife]

I do have a distinct style when filming and putting it together. Thank you!

Foot, horse (animal conveyance), wheel, carts, wagons, bicycle, combustion engine, car, truck, tractor, (more tractors), riding-lawnmowers, hybrids, e-bikes, e-lawnmowers, e-tractors (I'm sure I left thousands of things out or mixed the order, and I'm sure there are more to come...). Point is, humans have been using and adapting the technologies available to make their lives easier and more efficient. If you've watched this channel, you'll have seen that that the Kramers don't rush in. (It took Nate months to select his tractor, for example.) Thanks Katie for showing us how you've adapted this technology into your daily homestead life.

[@TheKraemerLife]

Exactly, there are always improvements and efficiencies that you can incorporate into your routine to simplify your routines.

[@margaretpervier8357]

Good job, Katie! The trike looks like fun😊❤

[@TheKraemerLife]

It really is fun to ride, now we both have one :)

[@anniefraser2599]

Love the electric bike especially for chores as you age! I can see you both enjoying ebike working on homestead and then sitting on your porch relaxin!

[@lfuentes4098]

I never learned to ride a bike and at 50, I don’t think I want to try. But this trike looks like fun and seems something I can do without fear like a regular bicycle.

[@TheKraemerLife]

I cannot ride a regular 2 wheel bike very well, the trike is very different but once you get used to it, easy.

[@TheKraemerLife]

Yes, if you need to do something quickly or carry around a buch of different items it is really helpful.

[@barbfrank917]

Chicken math❤ love your socks Katie, I bet you have another pair just like them. Happy Father's day Nate❤ Nice trike

[@franceswatts4001]

I bet they drove Nate to distraction too 😂😂

[@TheKraemerLife]

Thank you! 🤗

[@cathyhuddle1769]

Really, really enjoyed the episode I watched today! I do not have chickens or an electric bike or mass acreage you have. So I thoroughly enjoy the ride around, chicken egg collections, seeing the brooding hens, picking her up and she was gracious. Could you explain about broody hens and why some do this and some don’t. I live you telling the roosters too.

[@TheKraemerLife]

There are certain breeds of chickens that are more prone to going broody. From my experience and our flocks it is the larger breeds. Our Brahmas, Marans, Cochins, Olive Egger, Salmon Faverolle, and Black Australorp. The RIR, Legbars, Ameraucanas, and Buckeyes much less likely to go broody...age also plays a bit of a part.

[@glendabaldwin4423]

Great video Kate! I like the videos more when you and Nate are doing them alone! The talking ones where you are talking about what you both have been doing seems so stressful, maybe just my age. I worry about Nate destroying himself mentally and physically on that house and if he is going to even enjoy it with you when its done!

[@TheKraemerLife]

Thanks

[@cathyhuddle1769]

The ride at the end where Katie was riding the bike was great! I have this idea. I know there are many people with trucks, trailers for pulling lawn mowers would come and help. Hey, why not start a Support Group from your followers?

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

I need to get something to scoot around in. My age is definitely kicking in on these hot days. You guys have got the chicken tractor build down.

[@TheKraemerLife]

You should! We can whip out a chicken tractor pretty efficiently these days, lots of practice.

[@Ashton60578]

I like how the bike is good for flat, bumpy and hilly terrain. I remember when you got the bike. Glad it is working for you.

[@TheKraemerLife]

Yes, I was nervous that it may not handle well on our terraine but it does great.

[@Mary-yu3sn]

The bike ad was great and way better then the ones made...

[@donnamaeanderson3448]

Very enjoyable video Katie. You did a great job. ❤

[@HomesteadWhereImPlanted]

Great video! 🎉

[@TheKraemerLife]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

Katie…Nice bike! Happy Father’s Day Nate. ❤

[@TheKraemerLife]

YES!!!! Happy Fathers day Nate!

[@DinkTank369]

Good morning ☕ Katie & Nate E Trike is a game changer for your busy feeding schedule

[@TheKraemerLife]

Yes, helps fly through the daily checks.

[@Mary-yu3sn]

You two have done so much ,its looking like a farm

[@TheKraemerLife]

Thank you, it is starting to feel like one.

[@DigginWithDeej]

Very informative and creative video Katie

[@TheKraemerLife]

Thank you!

[@DJCBECK1]

Hey, Katie what type of bin is that broody hen sitting in? Did you try using that for dust bath as well? thank you, Darlene

[@TheKraemerLife]

They are stackable bins we got from Home Depot. We use a slightly smaller one for their dust baths but these would likely work as well.

[@Lisa.Carroll]

I don't know if you and Nate track your steps per day....but I bet it is several miles. Hopefully, this will help make things easier for you.

[@TheKraemerLife]

Yes, we put in several miles a day just doing chores, walking the dogs, and filming KIK. The trike has made it easier when you want to run and check something real quick and its quieter and less bumpy than the lawnmower.

[@jillyd2807]

Good video, Katie 👏👏👏

[@TheKraemerLife]

Thank you!

[@leonasimmons162]

Bike will help you get around faster.

[@TheKraemerLife]

Now Katie has two speeds, lol.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

too bad you couldnt rig something up so the batteries for them could be solar to recharge and less plugging hydro/electric bills hugsssss

[@TheKraemerLife]

We charge them with our solar powerered Bluetti..win/win

[@scramblr08]

Question for you guys. Did you have to deal with any Brown recluse issues or snake issues moving to a property in Tennessee?

[@TheKraemerLife]

No issues with recluse but there are black snakes everywhere. We haven't had issues with any that are poisonious thankfully.

Except electric bikes give you NO exercise

[@TheKraemerLife]

They do if you do not turn them on ;)

[@debbievogt9881]

@@TheKraemerLife and when was the last time you used it as a regular bike. You get out of breath when you walk

[@barbfrank917]

You don't think they get enough exercise working around the yard, chicken care, gardening and walking around all the hills on their homestead?

[@marcamp5450]

@@debbievogt9881be nice. They’re two of the hardest working people I know. They have not had things like tractors, side by side etc. they do most stuff manually.

[@franceswatts4001]

@@debbievogt9881You are really rude! Katie has told you before that she has a medical condition which affects her breathing, not that it is anyone’s business but hers.
