Felix is such a good dude. Praying for yall. Eric you might consider a pallet with some weight on it drag behind the truck to level the rocks.

I saw another KZreadr use an old bed spring that he attached to the back of his truck with a chain to level his driveway out. He said that it worked great. Something heavy like that might work for you without a lot of expense.

Eric: Don't give up the Smart car to quickly. Get a "Beater with a heater" farm pickup. It will stay on the property while you are traveling. Thanks for the video. Jon

Wow, those wheelbarrow prices are insane.

Hi Eric, you are surrounded by so many great people that are willing to help make your life easier. What a blessing for these good people. I really Love the look of the stone. It give your place a nice finished ,well manicured look. Have a wonderful fourth of July Eric. See you next time, hugs, Louise

Felix is awesome 😊✊🏼✊🏼

Prayers for Felix 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You might have better to rent a small bobcat, you can compact the stone, move large amounts stone quickly

Perhaps buying a Bobcat might be a better purchase than a truck. His choice. Peace.

Can't wait to see TIG (TIGER) 🐕

my dad used my childhood wagon to mix cement. now they have it for home work. finally.

That's really going to help, having the stone pressed into place. GO FELIX.

Dear Eric,There's cicadas in Arizona. Ask Kevin! 😊

You have land so you can do both the truck for the property and the smart car for traveling, best of both worlds!

I'm doing the exact same on my new plot of vacant land. Using my truck and a rake to flatten out my driveway 😂

Great video! I'm loving these homestead videos. I'm glad your friends loaned you a truck. I'm sure that made hauling stuff a whole lot easier. So glad to see Felix In this video, too. He's a great friend.

Get Kevin's friend with the dozer to spread everything around and compress everything down. 👍🤠

Those are NICE looking boots!! We'll have to check them out. Thx

Hey Eric, had a 2002 Ranger I bought in '07 till I bought my 2020 F150 in 2022. Sold the Ranger to my daughter and Son in Law. Love my new truck!!! Everyone needs a truck!!!

Great video thank you!

Eric you have not changed a bit! I love it! I love it! I never thought I’d see this day! That you was good with settling down & it looks so good on you! What would we do without Felix??? You go Eric! I’m so proud of you😇XXOO Lori

hey eric they way i used to spread gravel when i had to was attach a chain to a 4x4 to the hitch and then put a small section of chain link fence to the 4x4 and throw a couple of tires for weight and drag it behind your truck spreads it wonderfully

That was nice of him to help you out with his vehicle. Your scaring me we had a fence put up and our guy broke our wheel barrow now we have to buy a new one. Hope Tig is doing well along with the kitty's! Happy Independence Day Eric!!

Nice. Great video. Your new addition is going to be a handful…

We do have them, they are not that loud, except for last year there were alot more and loud, but didn't last long. I think because we had more rain then ususal.

Forget the wheelbarrow and get one of those wagons that can carry up to 600lbs or more. Some have a dump feature on them too so it makes it easier to dump things. We bought one to move rocks around on our property to save our backs and it was a game changer. No more tippy wheelbarrow straining your shoulders trying to keep heavy things from tipping on that one wheel.

Felix is a good man!

Love. Appreciate the star videography!

i agree trade the smart car for a truck a ranger or f150.

Fexlix and Paul to the rescue ! Both great friends, you are blessed ! Thank you for sharing your progress ! You will want your Smart Car when winter comes and you get on the road...enjoy the loaner for now and make the most of what you have..

Very nice looking boots. Look good for hiking too. The stars are awesome. Happy 4th of July.

Have a good holiday.

That was really nice of your friend to loan you his work truck and those boots look amazing. I saw your instagram. So cute.

Thanks

GOOD UPDATE

Wow looks great out there. Have a happy and safe 4th of July

Nice boots!! Your little one is adorable... Happy 4th!

You’re really starting to dig in. Good for you.

Get a wheeled cart and move the excess gravel to the spot where the RV will be parked and redistribute a little each day. It's like a daily workout if you don't overdo it in the heat.

Eric, it’s been so much fun watching you on your new property. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Even when something disappoints you, like USPS not getting your address right, I know that big grin is on the way! Can you say FedEx?? Having Kevin and the Woof Pack nearby is another positive thing to look forward to now. All of the friends just make life more interesting. Sending hugs from Hammond, Louisiana! 🙀🙀🐶

Your looking great Eric. The wheelbarrows? Thats crazy prices. Keep the videos rolling and Happy 4th to all your friends

I am so glad to see Felix doing so good and I hope you really enjoy your new place. Stay safe and enjoy

Loving your property in Arizona. Love the way you have it set up. Best from Texas This is GW

🤛 Look’n Pretty Kewl Dude . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🚗

Really enjoying this home base build. When you do finally hit the road again, please keep it short, so you can get back to home base!

Perfection. 🎉🎉🎉 loved this video new chapters of life woohoo

there is rentals in town. Homedepot, lowes, etc.. can get some equipment to make work go faster and easier.

Yeah! The white lights a glow! Great move! With every change we make in life, there are always things to add and subtract! I bet you would really like a Jeep Gladiator! I'm not sure what their history is on dependability, but they seem to be a great size with off-road capabilities! I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler I tow, but it is smaller than the newer ones. It fits me.....removed backseat, so have some space to haul stuff. I agree that you do need something other than the smart car......you will figure it out as time and experience on your property goes by! Have a great 4th of July!

I did the same thing with my dually when i had rock poured for my rv pad. Like a steam roller!

Cicadas are in Az. But not every year. We only had them once in 20 years. You know they’re a mating call.😊

Man i got to get me a pair of them boots!!! BRUNT

Looking good Eric!

Nice seeing your progress. Sorry to tell you we do cicadas in Arizona.

Those Boots 🥾 look very very very Cool 😎 Eric😎😊👍

Great video

I love the singing cicadas. But I’m from Missouri. They sound like summer.

Open only deter them if you are motion if you're stationary and the light only allow them to see what they're eating

Those boots will really come in handy if you get some snow there, and they'll definitely help with the white mountain mud. Cicada's? Yes Arizona. No this part, well at least where I live in Lakeside. And the quiet? Strangely enough, we get that here in town too. One of these days, I might just have to head out and find . . . another neighbor.

The gravel looking good!

I agree. It is time to lose the "cool" car for the practical pick up. Great to hear you are still doing well.

Lol, Christmas all year long. ☕️🇺🇸👍🏻. 🌵🌴🥞

Those 4 wheel dump wagons are really nice. Had one for years. Might think about one of those.

Thank you Eric everything is looking very good.

You should get a piece of plywood, stack rock or bricks, or something heavy on it tie it to the back of your truck, when you get it and run up and down your driveway, it will flatten it.

You have everything looking nice . I think you have found your Home acres.

Rural living can be a challenge finding affordable equipment. Amazon and UPS have become my friends. I will look locally first. If I can't find what I need, I go on line. Of course, you still need to be careful as I know you are well aware of.

Nice looking boots, now you can get a 50 gallon drum for water. Those round ones. Fill it with water and you can roll it up and down that driveway. Just in case you need a bigger surface area then tires. Need to test out those boots you know.

Driveway looks great.

It all looks Great! you should make a cement pad to park your rv on

Wow those boots are nice, my husband could use some Brunt boots, I’ll look them up!

Wow that expensive for a wheelbarrow. I like the little 4 wheel carts. You could pull it with the smart car. 😂😂 I pull mine with a 4 wheeler. Your place is looking good. Happy 4th of July 🙏🙏🙏❤️🥾🥾✌️☕

FELIX IS SO AWESOME 💯💯💯

Wonderful Good Friends❤❤ Every thing is looking good. Prices is crazy.

It's looking good see yah Eric an Tara an Opie hugs always

That wheel barrel was $49 at our Tractor Supply in Mobile AL

You will get a lot of exercise moving the gravel around. Consider. picking up a good sturdy pair of leather gloves to protect your hands - the kitties still want gentle petting. Enjoy the property. Happy 4th of July!

Everything is looking great E! Have a great 4th!

Happy Independence Day!!!🎉🎆

Great having friends close enough to help out........Happy 4th Everyone

Recommend you rent a tractor with a front end loader and possibly a scraper. It with save loads of energy and time

I’m so happy for you! I’m watching every day to see the development of your homestead! I’m waiting for you to build a porch off the front of the blue “tiny house “ and put a rocking chair in the middle of it. 😅 too see you with your new boots and a big old sun hat rocking back and forth. O yea!,

I think prices in that area are generally higher. I used to go there several times a year for work. It is a nice area of AZ.

Nice truck.

I’m surprised that you didn’t hire the guy with the tractor that Campervan Kevin used. He could have made short work of moving and leveling of your gravel. You might want to bury the propane line from the big tank, and have the end mounted on a 4x4 post next to your RV. Then use a flex hose to attach it to your RV. Your place is coming along nicely!

Great viedeo

Happy Independence Day !

U r a super good man ❤

We are in Calif. and have the same trouble. What a crock of crap that is! It’s so aggravating to just get continually ripped of because they can!!!! Love what you are doing there Eric and you are close to so many other wonderful people.🤗👍👍

The double wheel wheelbarrow is more expensive but extremly stable. 160 dollars for that wheel barrow is a good deal. A single wheel barrow generally runs about 80 dollars, but it can easily over turn, especially on a gravel style driveway.

The NF homestead is looking good! Still waiting for The Announcement about the new co-pilot. The timelapse needs more stars in it... not! Excellent work there. Hugs to whoever is helping out at the hacienda.

That time-lapse was SUPER AWESOME!!

Nice truck and has a booster seat for driving. Lol those were gardening carts. Trucks are perfect for working.

Nice boots!

You have enough gravel, use it to level the RV. Also the RV's 6 wheels and weight will compact your driveway.

Sweet! Eric, you city boy, if you lived on a dirt road, you would be familiar with the pull grader. Our town also had a person that went over the road dragging a wooden flatbed made of thick boards with a pile of massive rocks as weight to smooth out the road behind the grader. 00:50 Wow, that is some kick AXX boots! Should keep your feet from getting sore walking on that rough rock 10:26 and got a flashback to my poor 'ole Dad at age 96 buying some big boots with steel toes. Didn't work out, he couldn't lift his feet with all of that extra weight!

I soo love the KFC sign! still enjoying the videos for years and years and years...Thanks for sharing..

Great looking boots !! \

Putting the rock down helps keeping critters out, its difficult for them to walk on. Caravan Carolyn had cicadas at her camp, not sure how close she is to you? Loving your new place, what a great base camp for your growing family. And poo poo on all folks dissing you for this change in your life. I'm hooked on so many rver's that have added a basecamp/new home to their channel, it's thebpeopke I watch, like. You do you. ❤

If you do go with a ranger, get one with the SuperCab with the rear-hinged doors.

Very nice boots. Happy 4th❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

ENJOY YOUR HOME

Sure do wish I could meet you Eric I need to buy a truck myself I live in CA near Arizona
