IS BIGGER ALWAYS BETTER? | work, couple builds, tiny house, homesteading, off-grid, rv life, rv |

Hello everyone. Welcome back to DD5! This video was recorded BEFORE FREEDOM WEEKEND. This was the last work project that we were working on before leaving for Mississippi. This was the BIGGEST PINE TREE to come down here on The Landing. Was it scary? Yes! Thankfully, we has some assistance with making sure it went down as planed... OR DID IT???

    ❤👋👋👋👋Hello everyone before you comment anything about why is mike doing this and that because of his accident....please pay more attention in beginning of the video. There is a big disclaimer in the beginning. Stating this was before freedom weekend and before Mike's accident. Also this is not a repeat this is the reat of our clearing land for this area. Now you may feel like that because some of you might have seen junk to Gem's vlog of this day. Its unfortunate that we have to explain any more then what we already have. Watch the video before commenting. It will save us a headache and you wasting time on a comment that shouldnt even be a issue.

    Mike, I recently told you about OFF GRID WITH JAY AND JEN and their approach to rainwater catchment. He released a video today on building budget Solar System. They still use Sealed Lead Acid batteries, because the Lithium batteries are difficult to charge in cold weather. It almost has to be a heated room to charge them in the Winter. Lots of good info. You aren't poor, but putting a permanent system together would be hard with all the other projects! Jay and Jen were the same way. They have been there and done that! Give a listen! ❤❤

    Yea I think Mike’s ribs and all are feeling lots better the way he kept yanking on that rope around the tree. Plus he was able to use a chain saw as well. I wonder if this was before they went off where he got hurt because Kevin and Jayme came over to help put up the chicken pen and he said he couldn’t help do it. Plus they didn’t say they still had trees to come down. Yea I think this was before he got hurt, I think. Anyways if not it’s good he’s lots better though. Matter effect I think this is a repeat.

    Good to see you getting things done, when operating the loader you need to get the load evenly situated because when it's hanging long ways off the front you'll twist the loader arms and they will never be the same , also keep the outrigger for the backhoe up all the way if you catch something it won't be pretty.
