We've ALWAYS Wanted THIS 😭 | Life Off Grid

[@naomijohnson2395]

Wear your seatbelts guys. As a volunteer EMT in rural Idaho and SD, I can tell you I never picked a dead body out a ditch that was wearing their seat belt. Life changing injury can happen in a flash and at slow speeds. Only saying it because I want you to grow old together!❤

[@douglascampbell9809]

Can confirm. I had a friend get hit head on by a drunk driver. My friend wore his seat belt and the drunk didn't. My friend went home after a short hospital visit. The drunk went to the morgue.

[@MackenzieHorn]

My brother was a police officer and he says the same

[@TraciHilbers]

I am retired Advanced EMT and I fully agree

[@quidditchmum]

My husband is a retired paramedic and voiced the same concern.

[@clairehamilton3906]

I love watching every video you produce. Such a complete contrast to my way of life here in England. Thank you.

[@pamjaramillo1770]

I love that Barron saves critters from the road❤

[@karlahernandez5750]

I have a rock that I have been in love with for about 60 years. I found it while I was picking prunes on my grandfather's ranch. It means so much to me because it is the only thing I have from that ranch that is now covered over by houses. Rocks can hold a lifetime of memories even if they have no monetary value.

[@ElsaRhae]

Absolutely true. They’ve seen so so so many of us come and go.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I brought a huge rock from Michigan to Arizona and it will always move w me.

[@WRMRanch]

So sweet, I save every rock my granddaughters pick up to show me their beauty. Love my bowl of rocks.

[@kit3182]

My uncle once said, if you go to a place you love, bring a rock back. When you do, it’s always a place you will go back and visit! I❤

[@juliebarnett9812]

I agree.

[@TheRentVeil]

You two are just so dang likable and make filming content seem so easy and interesting- no ego, no drama, no whining…just bringing a camera along for the ride. Love it!

[@wncbeegirl8268]

Love the idea of the small unknown black stone with a small unknown white stone for a yin yang inspired piece !

[@nancycusumano2776]

My dad was an earth science teacher. He was a total rock hound. We did a lot of summer camping and if he saw a rock shop the car would turn by itself into each one. We had a couple of tumblers and an 18” Diamond saw in our basement where he cut all kinds of stones- agate, quartz, geodes, you name it. Good for you for making your own cabs. Very fun.

[@lamarchickk]

i won't grow garlic because it takes over the garden/yard, but i love seeing your journey with it, and good luck in the future with many more years of garlic planting

[@farmkay]

The quarts looking like diamonds are stunning.

[@kellyaquinn]

I relate more to Elsa explaining gardening than Barron explaining the solar power system. Ha

[@ElsaRhae]

Me too 🥲

[@marianraftery]

Me too ! I fast forwarded all the tech stuff about the solar panels.

[@sparsh415]

@@marianraftery I think Barron had to go into so much detail as they got the Solar set up for free on the premise they made the video.

[@marianraftery]

@@sparsh415 Of course ! That makes sense !

[@MarielikestoCrochet]

I literally tried so hard to understand Baron and those solar panels But I understood nothing😅

[@rhi.123]

I needed some Elsa and Baron so badly today! Stress and depression and insomnia have been making a home lately and you guys bring me so much peaceful joy 🥹 thank you ❤️

[@Mom4peace2011]

I can second that ❤

[@bmoore3199]

THIS VIDEO WAS THE FREAKING BEST ELSA !! I Nerded Out with you over the rocks ! I'm 62 and have been collecting rocks all my life so I absolutely appreciate your fascination with them. I also Nerded Out with Barron over your prior video about your Off Grid Solar Setup. Absolutely a favorite of mine too. So good to see you guys thriving and so excited. Thanks for sharing all this. 👍👍

[@dawndowling9916]

I love how Barron saves snakes!!!

[@arielphf]

My grandad was a lapidary so I have a genetic predisposition to love rocks. I'm geeking right there with you! Please, do go on!

[@sincerelyhallie777]

I love those rutile quartz! I've never see those before but they are so gorgeous!

[@kimberlycoldren4237]

Love seeing each of you geek out in your new home. Harvesting the beauty all around you.

[@DarcieRobertson]

I LOVE that spring roll pasta! I've been making it since I saw you make it in the Scamp! My husband and I use some version of the sauce a lot in other stir-fries too. It's so delicious and satisfying. I still like to do the chopped honey roasted peanuts on top. The stones you bought for your ring are gorgeous. You got a gem of a guy, so you gotta have the right gem on your finger too. HA!

[@ElsaRhae]

It's so good!!!

[@juliebarnett9812]

Wow! The rocks and gemstones are fantastic!

[@barbaraknuth8095]

I totally understand geeking out over something you love!! Those kind of shows are always fun! 25 years ago I went to my first scrapbook convention!! I have been a paper crafter for over 25 years how.

[@ElsaRhae]

S c r a p b o o k convention?!?! Where!!

[@curiousmatters5996]

I grow garlic here in Colorado as well. The trick is to sow it about mid October.

[@onecrak]

Hey guys, It's CLAIR, not yelling, lol It's a mix of happy and proud of you both! Who would have thought after these years, so lovely to see. Oh and wear ya bloody seat belts😇

[@ElsaRhae]

Wondering where you’ve been CLAIR!

[@scottk4100]

"I don't know, where do you want to go...oh, I wanted to go that way!". Thanks for another fun video. Y'all are awesome!

[@ElsaRhae]

😁

[@elizabethguynn6873]

That Highland Park is a good, solid unit. Use oil in your saw, but water on your wheels. You will need a bit more in the way of wheels and equipment. I suggest sitting in and watching another cutter work for a bit to get the hang of it. I have been a cutter for over 20 years, it gets quite addictive.

[@carlyhosh]

The stones you picked out for your wedding ring are beautiful 😭 can’t wait to see the finished product!!

[@vallovesnature8449]

I’m a rockhound Elsa & I totally understand your love of rocks! I used to love watching “Prospectors” on the weather channel. And every year we went to Maine & my dad would get so made because I would bring home so many cool rocks☺️

[@maryhart637]

Wow! Very professional!! Can't wait to see all the beautiful jewelry you make using this nifty looking contraption🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤ Initially I thought it was some kind of smoker....😂😂😂

[@ElsaRhae]

It does look like a smoker! I would've thought the same thing!

[@Suboptimalconditions]

Yay!!! Lapidary machine! I love all kinds of rocks, gems, minerals… you two are the best. I share your KZbin as much as possible to people I feel will appreciate the very diverse inspiring work you both do. Everything you post is such a treat for me.

[@LifeAsTeeInThisWeirdWorld]

I'm not super into rocks but I can appreciate the beauty in them so it was nice to see them. And honestly hearing someone talk about and show something they are so excited about is a bit contagious anyway. I really enjoy watching videos on something I know nothing about just because the person is jazzed about geeking out about it!

[@ElsaRhae]

I really appreciate your second hand enthusiasm! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@MrsRepairTech]

For those who know about the love of rocks, they know! I live in North Idaho which also has a long mining history. I grew up as a rock hound from both sides-my mom and her dad, my dad and his mom-so the appreciation for rocks is deeply engrained in me! We love to traipse to any local gem & mineral show, including the local fairs. My dad collects garnets and crystals from around Fernwood, ID. There's a garnet mine that just recently shut down there, and you can still pan for garnets in Emerald Creek and pick up dust and little bits. You can also find star garnets there. My dad's actually out on the back porch grinding on a rock right now. LOL My husband's boss' family owns a gem & mineral shop in Wallace, Idaho (Johnson Gems) that is a great little stop between Coeur d'Alene and Montana. SO needless to say, I loved your rock haul! And I'm super excited for that fancy piece of cutting/grinding equipment you've got there! :D

[@lisalastnamesmith]

ELSA you can over winter garlic. Plant more in Oct. You'll be harvesting huge bulbs by next summer. They're heave feeders as well.

[@ElsaRhae]

Okay!! I will!!

[@captaindingbat]

I agree with over-wintering, they like the first few frosts 😁

[@MarielikestoCrochet]

Plant Kale now too! There are a ton of veggies that like cool air

[@francestramazzo70]

My husband and I lived in Tucson AZ for 15 years and you've probably heard of the Gem and Mineral show they have....well worth it if you ever get the chance...we are now living in NC for the last 4 years....enjoy your new gem treasures....

[@Beverly-e4z]

That shell is abalone! They make jewelry out of it in the southwest. They pry it off the rocks in the ocean at low tide. I used to have a lot of it. I love rocks too. My great grandfather was a Welsh miner and came to WV to mine coal and tin. My x spouse was an underground gold miner....he mined silver too of course. Even some mines in Colorado, AZ, NM, Oregon, Alaska, and New Guinea. That silver is very cool.

[@1020-k8z]

I LOVE stones too! And you got some beauties. A stone/jem necklace with silver findings would be so beautiful. And Elsa if you havent already, you need to design a cartouche to put on your work. So many artisans don't sign their work and its such a shame not to know who made the works of art.

[@tanjarott7535]

What a neat new addition! So fascinating. My dad has some lapidary equipment for a while but I was 19 or 20 and I didn't fully appreciate the setup then. Wish I had it now. Your work is beautiul. That was so cool Barron just walks out there in bare feet to get that rattler out of the way. Fun video. Thanks for sharing!

[@carolinefealofai7307]

So talented and such beautiful stones and great jewelry.

[@IridescentJen]

As a fellow rock nerd I LOVED this video. Can't wait to see more of what comes with your new rock cutter! Have fun creating pretty new things!

[@tphotographix]

That music with the cooking - super fun!!!!

[@ginaallen3797]

I was a rock hound as a kid and spent many hours exploring caves and mineral deposits in NW arkansas. I still have rocks and minerals that i picked up in the 50s with me now. They are like old friends. Now living in the Uncompahgre Valley I have done a little rock hunting but not as much as i should. Stones, rocks and such are so much a part of me that i will never lose. Love your jewelry and metal art. Peace and Love. Angry Old HIppie.

[@lanamorey6679]

This was a fun video. You guys both seem to be really enjoying life and each other.

[@kathleenschmidt1489]

I love rocks. My granddaughter and I go to rock & gem shows. Went agate hunting on Oregon coast last week. Found some great stones. ❤❤

[@brikhouse22]

Ive always loved gems and rocks. As a kid after my parents split my dad would always take us to this market that had a farmer markers on the bottom and the second floor had a bunch of tiny small businesses, one of them was a book store that sold many sets of huge agate book ends and i was in awe everytime and ever since. They are just so beautiful. My grandfather also used to tumble rocks and make jewelry, he was the type to wear those bolo ties too lol.

[@UtahRoadbase]

I remember spring roll pasta! You actually inspired me the first time I saw you do it. I prep huge quantities and then eat it for lunch all week!

[@user-gq7bi1lq9u]

Elsa, your jewelry making skills have really progressed in such a short amount of time! Your settings are a beautiful complement to the gorgeous stones you choose. Combined with your leather working skills, I can envision (and hope for) some beautiful bracelets in your future! Using leather would also cut down on the silver cost (which is getting so out of reach now). As someone who likes to make beaded jewelry with gemstone beads, I’ve had to switch from sterling silver components to plated. I really admire your creativity and the attitude you have in learning new skills. You rock! (Silly pun intended. 😊) Rutilated quartz is one of my favorites. Can’t wait to see what you make with those two beauties!

[@cindyann9571]

No stopping the jewelry making now!!! Looks like a gem of a machine! No pun intended😉💜

[@traciemcinnishmurrah1613]

I love rocks and videos about rocks! The stone you picked out are beautiful! Can’t wait to see what you make.

[@lynnemac1402]

One of my favourite videos, it was so lovely seeing you so excited Elsa, your new machine is amazing. It do a lot of different crafts and have done some jewellery but with beads, but all your stone were so pretty and I love the quartz that might become your wedding ring, it was really beautiful. I went to my first craft fayre and it was so exciting, seeing everything and getting new ideas for projects. Really looking forward to seeing what you make x

[@Lanavirtue]

You, Elsa and Barron both have such great talent and skills. May you always be blessed together with a great relationship you have and how wonderful you live together. We love watching what you’re up to building next. What a family🙏🏼❤️ and please keep cooking, that’s my favorite.

[@jenlewterants4557]

[@wendybauman4074]

[@hollyp4579]

Idea for your cut rocks: set into a counter area built with perimeter molding, pour clear resin over it…..makes a countertop for bathroom, or as a border in area of kitchen, etc.

[@superfred6063]

What makes this so great is that you're that in to rocks - I might not know a dang thing about them but your passion about them is contagious and makes the video VERY enjoyable.

Hey fellow rock nerd! Love the rock show location, very cool atmosphere for it. Elsa picked up some beauties, can't wait to see the pieces she creates❤

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

My turn to geek out on stones/rocks. Love em'

[@greenacresbloom]

My parent's house sits where a glacier came down to then receded. You can see a huge glacial erratic (a large stone dropped by a glacier) from their kitchen window. The banks of a small creek near their house is lined with so many kinds of stones... all types... all colors... sandstones and limestones and quartz of every color and agates and fossils... and so many others that are lovely and always make me spend time sitting and staring at all the rocks. I didn't realize how special that creek bank was till I was older and noticed that other creeks were not the same. Thank you receding glacier for making such a special place. Edit: Also, my Dad keeps a rock in his kitchen cupboard that looks just like a potato. I mean, not a little like a potato, not resembles a potato, but full on looks like a potato. I know that the rock is there and still I pick it up and think, why do you have a potato in the cabinet with the dishes? Doh... Yeah, you're not alone in loving rocks.

[@MomCat6000]

LOL! I have a potato rock that sits in my kitchen too! Also a small glazed donut rock, a filet mignon rock and a slab of salmon rock covered with a sheet of silvery mica that looks like the skin. I love collecting food-looking rocks!
