After you go as far as you can then you stop going.
HELLO. I WATCHED YOUR CHANNEL, LIKED IT AND I AM 1 MORE FOLLOWER. I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU AND WISH YOU THE GREATEST HAPPINESS. HUGS
Thank you, Tom! This is good advice - we are also facing big challenges. Grace and joy be yours as you tackle the challenges ahead of you. So glad we met before you headed off the shores of the USA. God bless.
@@kdouglassworship thanks Keith! It was great meeting you too. Keep up the great work raising your family right, to serve and worship the King Of Kings.
Great idea! Curious if you were just removing this or transplanting? If transplanting, did it survive?
@@arianam.winder4866 no, I was just removing the tree because it was diseased. If I were transplanting I would use a different method, most likely just digging up as much of the root ball as possible. Also the chain used around the trunk in this method would damage the important outer layers of bark so I wouldn’t recommend it for transplanting.
Great idea!
@@emilycandlish8140 thanks! Now I need to post a video of the new minimalistic “office-in-van” setup. 😀💻🚐
What a great stop!!
I need to recess 1/8” deep, 1 1/2 wide into 1/4 steel plate. can I use a Forstner bit ?
Awesome video. Currently working on broken pvc nipple that broke off on the bottom of a hot water heater on drain valve.
@@Kevinh1998 thanks! Hope it comes out nicely for you. 👍
leaving that manifold on your hydrant doesn't allow it to drain properly... I learned the hard way
Just a safety precaution...tire or a shipping blanket on the chain
The one thing roots never plan on is being pulled up from all sides at once
Great video, and especially loved how you allowed your kids to get involved (until the Real danger became evident!!! Super Cool of you for that!!! My passions came from my Grandfather including me in his 'chores' as well; and they left a lasting and loving memory of him to this day! By the way, I believe you would have faster success by cutting off the branches and main trunk Before you go to pulling the trunk and root-ball system out. It would also make for an easier/safer cleanup that your children could also help you with!
Moe betta brah!
Thanks! 😆
How can i do for a 2 inch pipe...?
I’ve seen people put some fresh extra PVC cement inside the pipe section being removed, and light it on fire. 🔥When the pipe was soft enough from the heat, use pliers to remove the soft pipe section. Seems a bit risky but it worked for them. If you wanted to try the more conservative method I showed in the video, I would use a piece of larger steel pipe that is just smaller than the ID of the piece you’re removing, and heat it red hot. Might need to repeat a few times to get the plastic pipe piece soft enough. Hope you get it done smoothly!
Love it!!! Looks like some super cool playground contraptions! So glad you are all being refreshed.
@@amyseuffer thanks! That was a fun place.
Very informative introduction about the log splitter. I'm wondering whether you are up for a collaboration to talk about chainsaw maintenance and repairing to help the DIY loggers? Maybe we can collaborate?
I'm gonna go with FlexSeal Only because where I live it rains, then freezes, then expands and F*cks everything up!
how thick the osb should to be to have a resistant structure for walking over it?
Thanks for sharing your work. While I note comments like “don’t have children around”, and understand the safety concerns, you were aware of where they were and directed them to go to or stay in safe places. The lessons you taught them are ones they will remember for their lifetimes, and likely apply to their own problems. You taught them that they can outsmart and overcome obstacles that seem daunting at first. You worked together as a family, which is stronger as a unit than any individual member. You shared your ideas and approaches to address the problem. You listened to your wife and your children and acted on their concerns or suggestions, even if it was just acknowledging that you should be safe. That’s being a great Dad in my book. Thanks for taking the time to share your video.
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind and understanding comment. 👍
The most impressive part of this clip is at 3.50 !
Excellent solution Sir.
Thanks!
NO CHILDREN were harmed making this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s right 😀
Why did you move there? Is it too dangerous to live in USA?
No, we weren’t moving away from danger. We were moving toward what we are supposed to do next, and are planning on a year adventuring as a family. 🗺️ We’re working on more videos explaining & showing more. 👍
@@TomWylie adventuring
Clever! True nomads you are becoming
Thanks! 😀🧳
Water is coming out of my gutters But the thing is it rained a while back And now it's not raining anymore and water still coming out of it like dripping out of it normally coming out the normal way it's not like coming out of parts that aren't Supposed to be What do you think it What do you think it is why is it still coming out of there? It's been more than an hour
That's amazing, i love olive juice.
Oh you heard that… 😂🤦♂️🫒🍸
Thank you so much! Saved me so much time and effort replacing all the pipes below the issue!
Awesome, glad it helped! 🙌😀
I would have covered it with a big tarp, but thats just me.
Yep, present me would do that too 😉 Too bad past me didn’t, but that’s the point of the video.
I wouldn't necessarily call that simple
I guess Simple may be in the eye of the beholder, but what I was referring to is the fact it was mostly made of wood and stone, with very little metal-and especially the huge lever they used to press out the oil at the end… was not a fancy milled beam. It was a tree trunk that they bored and stabbed a pivot shaft through at one end, and carved threads into at the other. That’s basically all the finishing they bothered to do to it. It even still had bark on the majority of its length. So to me, that’s relatively simple. …Or maybe they were just exhausted after making the rest of the whole unit and just said, “forget it! Just use that tree right there!” 😆🤷♂️
How did you get the hanger drilled in so low is the question lol did you have a mini drill lol I'm jk with you
Isn't nomadic homesteading a contradiction in terms?
Also, definitely check out Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun. Blessings ❤
We are so excited to see where this takes you! We were honored to be part of your time in Missouri
Thank-you for that informative video--it's great to see your faces and some of the countryside. Vaya con Dios.
Did you take your vehicle with you, or did you buy one after you arrived.
We sold ours in the states and hope to buy one over here sometime soon. We We heard from many that the shipping and import process is very very expensive, not to mention the required changes that need to be made to the vehicle to conform to the legal requirements here. Our vehicle was still running great, but it was older and not worth bringing over here anyway. Vehicles in Portugal are very expensive though, which stinks. Besides vehicles & fuel though, most/nearly all other living expenses are lower & quite affordable though.
❤ Looks amazing and glad to see your faces! So excited to follow along on your new adventures! MO misses you!
We miss you all too! Thanks SO MUCH for all your help and prayers!!! 🙌🙏
Well, that stinks. I was looking forward to meeting you all sometime here in Missouri, but I don't blame you for wanting to try some other country.
Sorry! Maybe someday it’ll work out.
@@TomWylie Definitely! I guess I'll have to settle for KZread for now.
It looks beautiful! We look forward to following along on your journey.
It is! Thanks so much for your help and prayers! We’re enjoying still getting to video call. It really helps us not feel alone & still keep up on how things are going on for you guys too.
Wow! I'm so glad you finally told us where you are. We'll be looking forward to more videos about what you're doing. God bless you ❤
Thanks Jennifer! Sorry for the mystery, we didn’t intend to leave you in the dark at all, but were trying to let everyone know in a way that was clear. And then got so busy we had to just wait. We’ll get more videos coming as soon as we can!
I understand totally. It'll be a little more difficult to come visit you, now.
@@jenniferarndt5373 sadly yes, but for those wondering, plane tickets here are surprisingly not that expensive, and you can be a tourist for 90 days with nothing but a passport-no visa needed!
Hi Tom, this is Doug from Doug and Jennifer, any way we can connect? Are you on messenger? Or is there a way to get phone number privately? I am thinking along similar lines. Thanks
@@unique3phase yes hi Doug! 👋 I just saw your email and Mary’s reply. I’ll reply there and we’ll get connected. I’d love to talk & catch up!
Wow! Sounds like you want to do homesteading in Portugal. I have never heard of nomadic homesteading before. What is the purpose of nomadic homesteading? Israelites were taken up into Assyrian captivity and then migrated across the Caucus Mountains to Europe and America and from Eastern USA to Western USA. Now you are going backwards more and more. I guess you don't know yet where you will be going after Portugal. I hope you stick to the Israelite countries. At one time that country was very prominent but now it is just a place for tourists because it is cheap. Nothing going on in Portugal anymore, is there? Perhaps it will become a booming place and then you can sell your holdings into a boom to finance your next move. You're probably got a good price for your place in Missouri.
Here’s how our homesteading journey started: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmulttlmp8fbY7Q.htmlsi=9Tr3O1s8ZPaBxYXS Do you have any questions for us? Please comment below. We’d love to do our best to answer them in future videos.
Thank you for this video. I was looking for a way to estimate a length of small line to make a “grip wrap” for a mug. This will help !
Thanks for the info. I have been devouring roofing videos to bone up on the info so I don't make any mistakes.
Good job, but not a hack. It's a multi-generations old method!
Amazing video. We would like to show this video on our channel with your permission. We will add your link and your name will also be mentioned in the video. Let us know what you think
Yes, I'd love for you to! You can see the updated design here too, near the end of the Short: kzread.infoB3aEHfauDJs If you are willing to also add a link to where your followers can purchase DIY Plans for building their own Paul Bunyan Wood Chopper, please add this link: PaulBunyanWoodChopper.com Thank you!
@@TomWylie Thank you for your collaboration. We will include the mentioned link
You’re my candidate for 2024 Darwin Awards
hmm, don't know why. Yes I could've done better, but usually darwin awards go to people who had something bad actually HAPPEN, versus a bunch of karens on the internet complaining that something COULD HAVE happened... in a video that was posted 3 years ago.
I guess when the chain slips and 3 kids go flying you just edit it out
I guess when you comment on a video you ignore the video description and other comments where I explain exactly how I was keeping the kids perfectly safe and the cable was not under any real tension when the kids were nearby.
How long is the boom on that?
