Couple Builds 50x100x16 Metal Building....DIY. This is episode 1 of our Metal building series and adds to Our story. Here we talk about the many things that got us to this point, how and why we selected a Metal building kit. What we feel is the “Big Scam” of the industry as well as what we learned along the way. If you are thinking about buying a Metal building kit, this video is a great place to start. If you have comments, questions or suggestions please post in the comment section or send us an email at BacktoCountry.Homestead@gmail.com #homestead #offgrid #metalbuilding

Grab your coffee and come on along as we share our morning walk in the woods and talk about the present, past and future. #homestead #homesteading #homesteader #offgrid #homesteadlife #rvlife #buildingoffgrid Email: Backtocountry.homestead@gmail.com

I totally cannot believe we captured this video on our game camera! This young coyote is obviously in a good mood and not that hungry. Anyway, didn't his Mamma teach him not to play with his food?

This was an update from March 2, 2022, during the framing process of our Metal Building. First thing was to get Lorena trained on the Telehandler so She could get me where I needed to be. #Homestead #OffGrid #MetalBuilding

After arriving back at the property, I needed to get some things done in preparation to erect our 50x100x16 Metal Building. Here I did some mechanic work, fabrication and cutting (used propane and oxygen cutting torch setup) and did some welding. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #CyberlinkPowerDirector

As we carry out a Christmas tradition, we share the details with you. Join us in Lorena's Kitchen as we prepare authentic Mexican Tamales and share Lorena's secret recipe!!! #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #CyberlinkPowerDirector

This is a start to finish video of our metal building concrete slab. If you're following along, then day 1 will be redundant, but we wanted to get it all together in one video so please bear with us. Please comment and let us know if you have any questions. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid

Join us for another weekly update as we fix some erosion damage on the road and share some exciting news about starting the next phase of a major project. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid

In this weekly update I finally made it back to the property (Lorena will join me later) and aside from setting up camp was able to begin getting things done. And while doing so things got a little dicey...watch and see. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #CyberlinkPowerDirector

In this video we are preparing to return to the property when Murphy strikes. An exhaust leak turns out to be much bigger than imagined and while working on the repair we make another discovery which results in more repairs to 1996 Four Winds Dutchmen RV with Ford E350 chassis. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #MurphyStrikes #CyberlinkPowerDirector

How to replace a recoil (pull cord starter assembly) on a 2000 watt Champion (model 100478) Generator. Or at least this is how I did it! #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid

In this video we get to spend a little time in Lorena's kitchen where She shows us how to make picadillo (a traditional Mexican guiso used for many dishes to include tacos). She then uses the picadillo to stuff poblano peppers and make chile rellenos. We hope you enjoy the video as this is our life! If you would like a written version of this recipe it will be posted on our Facebook page.

A detailed video of how we analyze and troubleshoot to determine the problem then develop our plan and replace a leaking power-steering pump and serpentine belt on our 2003 Ford F-150 4x4 Lariat FX4 with the 5.4L Triton V-8. #DIY #BackyardMechanic #CountryLife #Homesteader #Homestead #Homesteading

Today we share one of our favorite soup recipes, Zuppa Toscana. It is a very simple recipe and does not take a lot of time to make. Over the years, we have modified several other recipes to make this hearty soup which satisfies our palates. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid Ingredients 2 lb ground hot Italian Sausage 2 Tbsp minced garlic 2 small onions chopped 6 cups chicken broth 5-7 potatoes diced 1 tspn black pepper salt to taste 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream 1 Bag Baby Spinach (Kale can also be used) *Shredded parmesan romano cheese for topping (or any cheese you like) Instructions 1. in a large skillet brown and crumble Italian sausage for 8-10 minutes then add onion and garlic. Continue to cook until onions begin to soften. 2. Add potatoes, chicken broth, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to large crock pot. When finished cooking sausage, onion and garlic add it to the crock pot. 3. Gently mix ingredients and ensure they are all covered by liquid, if not add more broth or up to 2 cups of water to ensure coverage. 4. Cover and cook on Low setting for 5-6 hours or on High setting 3-4 hours 5. Remove cover, check to see potatoes are soft. If potatoes are cooked add Heavy Whipping Cream and Spinach (or Kale). Gently stir, cover and cook on HIGH setting for an additional 30 minutes. 6. Serve with preferred topping (cheese and bacon are great!) 7. Enjoy!

This video was a discussion among like minded friends about water collection for survival, especially in a SHTF scenario. Presenters are Jeff Walker and Andy Smith #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #SHTF #TEOTWAWKI #Appocalypse #Survival #WaterisLife

Rodents built a nest on top of the engine and chewed wires as well as a vacuum hose, this is how we fixed it. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Off-grid #Ratatosis #Rodentdamage #Rats #mice #CyberlinkPowerDirector

This week we are back in the city, but that doesn't mean we're not busy. Grab your coffee and come on along as we share what we've been up to this week. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #DIY

It was another busy week although it didn't feel like we accomplished much as most of it was spent preparing to return the city. We made a promise to assist with a group event (we'll share next week) so we had to go. We'll be back to the property as soon as we can! #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #DIYLife #CyberlinkPowerDirector

As my Wife and I continue to build a homestead from the dirt up, this was another extremely busy week with some huge milestones. Most Importantly our Metal Building was delivered getting us one step closer to moving to our property full time. Join us as we continue our journey to get out of the city and Back to Country! #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #CyberlinkPowerDirector #GoProHero9 #MediaMod #Blink500Pro

This weeks update covers the work we did to prepare for delivery of our metal building as well as our telehandler (which will be used to both unload the building as well as erect it). The big projects were putting a construction top on the road as well as changing the angle of entry at the gate. Join us and see just how we did it. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #MurhphysLaw #DirtWork #roadbuild #crushedconcrete #contructionentrance #Cyberlinkpowerdirector

Like we always say, this is a homestead channel and as such we do whatever it takes to get it done and we do it all ourselves! This is another weekly update with a lot of road building footage! Delivery of our Metal building is now a week out and we are close to being ready. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #MurhphysLaw #DirtWork #Steelcrisis #Inflation #Roadbuilding

Homesteading is about an ever increasing self-sufficiency and that means doing as much as you can yourself. Everyday presents another challenge and learning opportunity as we continue to build our homestead from the dirt up. This week was very busy and we continued to make repairs on equipment as well as getting back to moving dirt and much more. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #MurhphysLaw #DirtWork #DoitYourself

We pulled our honey super and harvested in the RV... #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #Honey #Flowhive #CyberlinkPowerDirector

In this weeks update we review everything that has been going on. We also discuss some really bad news we received regarding our Metal building. If you hang out until the end we posted some bonus video from our game cameras! Follow along and join our journey. #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #MurhphysLaw #DirtWork #Steelcrisis #Inflation

This Video is a must see for New Holland owners. We discuss, what in our opinion is, a design flaw with hydraulic cylinders used on New Holland Tractor as well as other equipment which use "Wire Keeper" type hydraulic cylinders. #NewHolland #Keepingitreal #designflaw #plannedobsolescence #Homestead #Homesteader #Homesteading #HomesteadLife #RVLife #CamperLife #Offgrid #Farmlife #CyberlinkPowerDirector
