Trespassers at My Off Grid Cabin (part 3)

[@allymariebrown]

Thank you all for the positivity! If you are considering the Go PT Ultra - make sure you install is upside down outdoors to help weather-proof it.

[@TheGravitonVon]

I think you're divine, "no pun intended." Love your episodes, Vaughnee, Southeast Ma. Xo.. ❤

[@MeredithVidman]

will it work correctly if it’s installed upside down?

[@PrepperCali]

What brand are your boots?

[@dawnc5797]

About 10 years ago there was a guy going around trying to sell insurance. He came to our area several times. I told him we weren't interested but he kept coming around and always when my husband was away. The last time he showed up he was looking in our windows and I met him at the door with a shotgun pointed at him and a look on my face that said 'give me a reason'. We put up security cameras on the house, trail cameras around the property and put window tint on all the windows. Oh, and he never showed up again. Due to the nature of my husband's job I'm alone ALOT so I take whatever precautions I must. I also keep a can of wasp spray near my front and back doors just in case someone gets stupid. I bring out the shotgun as a last resort. People are getting crazier by the hour. Stay safe!!

[@efrosinimpalatzi1513]

Well done Ally with the camera for the traspassers Next time they think twice to come unannounced in to someone else’s property And stay strong

[@allymariebrown]

Thank you for the support!

[@irenefriars4770]

Ally, A good thing to block holes with is Wire wool, I had a tiny hole under one of my roof slates & found this was the best way to keep the mice from getting in. This yr we have been mice free.

[@allymariebrown]

This is so smart thank you!

[@plantaku]

Greetings from Costa Rica! Here we grow lemon grass and use it when we have sore throat. I wish you the best!

[@allymariebrown]

Hi there! I just planted my lemongrass!

[@valeriefrench9405]

You should post no trespassing signs in case someone falls or gets hurt on your property. Then when they try to sue you they can’t say oh it wasn’t posted.

[@teresawommack5148]

Nice idea but it doesn't matter if you have signs or not. You can still be sued.

[@spinbains]

A previous video showed they do have “No Trespassing” signs posted on their property

[@allymariebrown]

We do have them all over, thank you though!

[@coloradoblueskiesboutique7720]

Place steel wool inside all pipe openings, underneath boards wherever you think mice are coming in. They cannot chew through steel wool.

[@allymariebrown]

Great idea!

[@Doloreskoro]

Yes I’ve done that

[@christinelabrie1430]

It works great, we have done this.

[@allymariebrown]

Thank you!

[@persephonewatching1540]

What I've learned from my own garden is that if you have bare soil, either I plant something or nature will. I like plants like heather for covering large areas I don't want to weed. Anything that will block out the light for weeds and can be easily trimmed back should work.

[@deborahrussell5534]

Good job Allie. You work so hard. It's nice to see that you can do so much of the work yourself. I am in my sixties and I was taught that if you need certain types of work to be done then you have a man do it. I am ok with that today, because I am in poor health and I need the help. But I do give credit to all the women out there who can do a lot of things for themselves. God Bless You and Kyle. Good luck keeping the intruders out.🙏😊

Steel wool or something like it can be crammed t to small areas before sealing them.

[@allymariebrown]

Yes this is so smart, thank you!

[@jennifercesario9238]

Hi Ally! Just wanted to let you know that white vinegar is a great natural solution for areas that you dont want weeds, although you really van only use is for areas you dont have veggies or flowers,it works grat for everywhere else you want to get rid of weeds,it also works on poison ivy. Happy gardening!❤

[@nancystobel7093]

Ally, try cleaning your cabin with Pine Sol. I always use it to clean my camper van. We occasionally get a mouse but they don't stay. Some people complain about the smell, but I think it mellows out very shortly and is not unpleasant to humans.

[@jeniromero1949]

You're the Best Ally! I truly have such admiration for all the many thing's that you are able to do around your property. You are a really smart young lady, and a beautiful soul inside and out. One of these day's I would love to purchase one your products. You are truly blessed 🙌 😊

[@allymariebrown]

Holy smokes! That is wild to hear about the grass. I've never been to CA-one day!

[@colettelouise639]

It was the same way with my garden. Use fabric and it will last a few years in garden and pathways. Then use light topping of wood chips or straw and used old leaves on pathways only .

[@allymariebrown]

Thank you for these ideas!

[@lindawhite6271]

The bank looks amazing! I try not to fret about weeds too! It can seem so defeating and never ending. But look what you accomplished! Just beautiful! Love your channel. Please be safe out there! Hope you have self defense protection! Your caring patron.

I hope you write because you are natural at poet script.. 📝👌❤️Hope little Harper is in good recovery watch those birds of prey out there.. God bless you and your special family ❤️🙏❤️

[@Sandy-pk3fk]

Hi Ally, not sure what you put under the garden but newspaper is a good weed barrier! I always used it for my flower beds. It works great and it stops the weeds! Love your videos! 😊

[@allymariebrown]

The off grid garden has fabric but the one at the a-frame has nothing currently. I may redo the soil next year and do a compost method Kyle's mom showed me. It has a crazy name so I don't recall it currently haha. But if I redo things I will probably do better weed prevention. The off grid cabin will likely get a cover crop of sorts with time.

[@Sandy-pk3fk]

[@fernetworek9030]

I am going through the same thoughts as I pull 'weeds', but I remind myself that they are also good for the compost and I still have plenty for myself. Love the work you do on this place!

The town hasn't returned thankfully-but I have encountered people in/on the property upon returning there, which was startling.

[@PRS_18]

Incredible. Thank you for your brilliant and creative content!

Since the start of your channel you’ve brought such peace and beauty and serenity, but recently your natural fun and talkative personality has been shining through as well which is amazing to see. Thanks for letting us follow your beautiful journey as you continue to build your dream life ❤❤❤

[@allymariebrown]

Cool to hear this, thanks for sharing! It certainly has taken me a while to get comfortable with the camera.

[@whoasusie]

Where did you learn everything about herbalism? I know you’ve mentioned a class/apprenticeship in the past. Any recommendations for those who want to learn?

[@allymariebrown]

Mostly self taught! Some from family members and from my apprenticeship here locally. The Herb Book and The Modern Herbal Dispensatory are great starter books, but getting out there in the fields and forests are the best teachers too. KZbin has tons of videos as well if you are a video learner!

[@sapoverde65]

They should offer the camera in camouflage print.

[@carbearification]

I use cotton balls with essential oils to ward off rodents also diffusing essential oils and bay leafs placed it totally works

I'm so with you about weeding all the herbs! It's such a back-and-forth battle. 😂

That must have been a cold bath? When we was children, we started to bath in early may among the melting ice in a big river where I grew up, but now, NO WAY. I like the ocean in July. That blue flower was beautiful and I have not seen it earlier Resin from spruce is so so good to chew, you find them as small dry bulbs on the trees, the get purple when you chew on them, they also disinfect your mouth. (we have only one type of spruce, but I think I have heard you have two?) Those old ones with "beard" hanging from the branches is the best trees to find them on. People always asked my mom: Isn`t you afraid to live alone because of the bears and the wolfs? (she had sheep and goat) but she said: No, I am only afraid of the two-legged predators, yes, I agree with her, those are more scaring then wolfs and bears. Take care. Thank you for the video.

It’s been decades since I’ve seen winter proofing windows/ screen porches. That used to be one of my chores as a boy. The hardware stores used to sell kits of plastic and cardboard strips for that purpose. We used tacks to install them.

[@christaverduren690]

Our 1100 sq ft house was estimated (by three companies) as having 10,000 dollars worth of mouse remediation needed. Yeah, no, not even in a good economy could we ever afford that, but it was so bad, as you well know! Every room of every level. It took me three years of constant vigilance (and I have no idea where the little blighters are getting in) to get it down to a level that is annoying and gross, but not absolute madness. Along with the spiders, the gnats that get into my spider plant soil, the stink bugs, the carpenter ants and picnic ants... there are days I want to just torch the place and run away lolol But, I have to agree that I'm living in a wooded area and it's all part and parcel of the whole thing. It's the spiders though that just make me scream! Peppermint and oregano oil help a tiny bit some of the time (too much sets off my asthma), keeping the place spotless is impossible (marie condo I am not lol) so i just plug along. We had bad neighbors for years (they have moved thank goodness) and after a drunken & drugged altercation at our house we got a camera too. It gives me a sense of security. It's MY house and I do not have to let anyone in. I do not have to answer the door. Knowing who's there helps a wee bit... the robins that nest there every spring do wear it out a bit haha. I was wailing internally too as you weeded lol, same when I have at my flower garden. Those are medicinal plants not weeds, but, in my flower garden, they're weeds and I have a rewilded section of the .17 acres (I love my little plot) I'm on and the medicinal plants can grow wild and free there. I was given 6 wild strawberry plants 10 years ago. I now have a yard full of the buggers! They grow like... well, weeds! lol Rather pernicious if I do say so, but the critters like them. Too sour for my taste. I enjoy the flowers and the bright red berries. Thank you so much, for another wonderful episode. I'm going to get your earring as well! Such a brilliant idea! Black peppercorn is a very soothing, yet energizing scent, and to have it on earrings like that is perfect for me!

Mulch and pick your own 'weeds', aka a ground cover. Bare earth will always get covered with something, so cover it with something of your choice. I was actually thinking one of the native strawberry when you found the escapees. You could let them spread and just accept that you will be giving the berries to the wildlife.
