Everyone has a connection with the earth. In this modern world many of us have lost touch with nature and living things. My wife and I decided that we wanted to live a simple life that is close to nature. We started on a little 4 acre homestead in Southern Idaho and we have recently moved to a 33 acre forest in Washington. Our goal is to remember the past to create a better present and a sustainable future. Please join us as we take this journey on simple ground.

Great work!
You’re great at explaining things and obviously knowledgeable but please, please wear safety glasses.
My co worker told me he used a circle saw to cut rebar on his last job and I laughed so god damn hard . I had to see it done 😂
There are definitely better ways to do it. I've learned a lot since this video. But it was what I had at the time and it worked.
Great video. Just bought a 92 180d today and found your video searching for information.
Thank you learn something today.
Love ! You did a great work and all hand made .
Thank you for your video. I wanted to see what a cut off wheel would do with the speed of a circular saw. I am aiming to try 5” blades for the m12 circular saw given I can find the right arbor adapter. Mainly for nice straight cuts when I need to use strap iron or sheet metal for mounting HID ballasts.
I'm glad the video helped.
Exploring new crafts is good. working pottery is a slippery slope.
it's me again! I would never recommend this brand. Now, all of the bolts that hold the engine to the flywheel housing have COMPLETELY back out. 18HP works great when working. Before buying this brand I would recommend all interested to try and contact the manufacturer/distributor... Oh yeah, there's a contact number allright but it's just a loop back to the beginning (Canada). If you like you can email them but there is a charge for someone to answer your questions. To sum it up: the fuel tank mounting flanges tore away from the tank - had to weld that; Fuel tank to engine mounting bosses, one bolt snapped off, and 2 of them tore the threads out of the aluminum body - couldn't reuse the mounting bosses so I hade too remotely mount the fuel tank;; muffler cracked and fell off - welded that; sharpening blades by DISASSEMBLING the entire feed area; fuel tank developed a pin hole leak on the top of the tank - fixed with aluminum tape; and now the engine has separated from the body.. Mind you this was new in the summer of 2020 and has roughly 40 hours on it. I don't cuss but the thing is a POS!
this is the main method on steppes of middle asia, where there're very few trees or bush.
Thank you for the very informative test and for making the video sharing the results
Thank you thank you big help and I even impressed my mother in law
Short but very informative. Thanks!
thank you! i learned a lot.
I've moved.my garden at least 4 times in the last 2 years
I'm actually doing it for reasons and the main 2 are actual green growing location and I'm eradicating this giant creeping grass
no safety glasses!!! no guard on the grinder!!!
would help if your light was on what your doing not in the dark . i have different model so this video dident help me thanks
Short and informative. I appreciate that. Good video.
looks like a fox
Excellent! Thanks.
What’s it do to the blade though?
I would use my failure hooks as burnishing tools. Somehow, rubbing a hard, smooth surface against my hook seemed to result in a super smooth and even stronger hook. I would also end with a 220 grit sandpaper, but would finish after that with a chamos rag or a piece of old tee shirt, which seemed to bring a luster to the wood. I like the action you use for the hook part to dig into the neck with the knife and then drag it out into the lower part of the neck. I also paid attention to putting a smile on my hook after I was satisfied with how the hook got carved. It's funny, but that small attention to detail also allows your yarn to settle into the groove of the smile more easily. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Thank you!
I'm glad it helped.
Great job god bless
Nice spuds. Are they going into a tater tower?
it's a lovely designed little building thing, sure the tarp being opaque and black may block out loads of light but honestly depending on how hot summer is there, it may be a nice bit cooler. the "noses" honestly make it resemble a barn, since barns i notice do have those little bits of roof sticking out at the peak.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJaJus-Tp8m_e5s.htmlsi=spR_iT0DcQbelDNJ He claims that a small wind turbine will help your batteries from the pulse.
We read the Bible about winnowing and had to show my children the process. Winnowing for followers of Christ will be through persecution.
As you mentioned, we had a greenhouse with same plan outline in 70s. Attach firmly to ground, because a large fabric and arches can turn into an impromptu kite. Our arches were laminated plywood strips, glued blocks, not screwed. Make 'need bricks' a standard part of conversations. Found two sources within a couple miles here, for a little labor. Post a note at local bulletin board. They will find you.
If you could get some kind of a gear box where you could lift weight during sunny days and use that energy to recharge batteries during cloudy days. The stored energy would not decay over time, but would have more danger than the ram pump idea. Ok I will leave you alone for a while.
I'm liking all of the ideas. I'll definitely explore them. Best wishes!
I love it!
It turned out looking really cool didn't it?
@Simplegroundlife I dream of having that much space that the misses don't control.
Just came across this and found it bery interesting.
Thanks for watching I'm glad you found it interesting.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGtnlaebmtXfmLA.htmlsi=GHuuhNktYmxGHqVP Have you looked into over panelling to get more earlier and later in the day. Also get some more on cloudy days by just adding panels. On good days you will not get any extra.
Yes, that is what I would do on my workshop roof. Honestly though, in practice, switching to propane has been a good step for us in cost savings and convenience for the moment.
There is a guy @John Daniel on KZread yes they used the @. He showed using lithium battery to charge his lead acid battery bank. I will see if I can find that video. The thought is to start changing after the sun goes down.
That is interesting too. I could see how that could be useful.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXth3LqEm9q6Y9o.htmlsi=jFkfwvdFC3DszbvQ This is one he shows it, lithium to lead acid charge. But this is not what I was thinking about. And yes he is a nut. He also shows wind power and it is not as simple as I thought.
How much was the tarp, and where did you get it?
The tarp was most of the expense. It is labeled as a 20 ml tarp and it was $319 for 40x40. I found this one at the Home Depot but I had to order it in. It feels very durable though. It is what I was hoping to find.
@@Simplegroundlife Thank you very much!
No problem.
Amazing having you back on KZread. Excellent video and I enjoyed it.
I'm excited to be making more videos. I've been inconstant over the last few years but I have some good things coming this coming year.
Enjoyed your vid very much,will follow you Thanks bud from Alberta Canada
Thanks for watching and thanks for the follow! I hope to have some good things to share this year.
When you do upgrade your batteries and have a 48v system some 48v batteries have 15 lifepo4 cells instead of 16.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to keep that in mind.
Great job as always. I hope your batteries are holding up well. Solar panels are as cheap as I have ever seen them. The rule changes in California I think created a glut of panels. So if you need to expand now may be a very good time. Signature Solar in Texas has some for less than 30 cents a watt. Would you mind giving a shout out to youtube.com/@kindharthomestead?si=mmGsRBwtj-gMBnhL youtube.com/@kindharthomestead?si=mmGsRBwtj-gMBnhL Maybe you could help him get over a thousand subs. I feel like you have a similar type of soul and work ethic. They are just starting out their homestead. $200 off and free shipping on orders over $3000 at signature Solar. I wish I was where I could put solar in now. They have a 3000watt inverter that might be good for a backup. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. My batteries are doing alright but I'm seeing them start to decline. I definitely will want to replace them soon. I would like to get more solar for sure. I would like to build my permanent workshop with a roof that covers the shipping container that is housing my electric system now. It would give me more room for attaching solar panels. Everything in good time I guess. I'll take a look at that channel. I haven't done any shout outs on my channel yet but I have been considering adding an element where we homesteaders and other like minded people can get together and chat about common problems and solutions. I'll consider it. Thanks for the great info!
Become a scavenger of free materials. The thing with this build is it can be used for a multitude of ideas. Pallets are a great source of building material.
That is part of my plan. I keep an eye on the local market places. I have a small stack of pallets and I hope to find a bunch of used bricks and pavers too.
That's nice how's the water well 😊
Thanks. The well is good all winter but we have had a little trouble as the last few years have had dryer than normal summers.
Wow! Amazing job!
Thank you! Best wishes.
waste of my time your an id io t
I didn't intend to waste your time that is for sure. We are all idiots sometimes though most of us don't enjoy being call such. I sure hope you were able to find whatever it was you were looking for.
pair of orange cream sickle kitties. Thanks for sharing them.
Are u trying to grow catnip?
One would think so, but not this time. Just some thyme, basil, ashwagandha and other herbs.
typical behavior good video
I'm happy they are around. They keep me grounded.
@@SimplegroundlifeCats, when you are NOT grounded, give you a charge. They take electrons so you would be positive. until the balloon breaks.
I have my Dad’s fencing plaits. I’m told that he bought them when he was 24. That means they were bought in 1934. “Were they bought new, Uncle?” “That was 1935, kid. No they weren’t new. If they was, your daddy couldn’t have afforded them.” I have no idea how old they are. But when you need them, they’re the only tool to use.
That wouldn't fit in the average garden in England. Your spoilt for space
I won't argue about that. Though sometimes I do take it for granted. I hope to take good care of the space I have around here.
We had a green house just like this. Does well in the snow too.
That is really good to hear. I was going to try the design with this shop and possibly build a greenhouse as well.
If you make several closely spaced chainsaw cuts, and then chop the flats, things will be easier. Dan S. from Michigan and Texas
Exelent video buddy
Glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely old now.
Interesting process.
Thanks for watching.
