Hidden Valley Homestead
United States
Приєднався 8 лис 2010
We are Scot and Olivia Palmer, empty nesters. We escaped the overcrowded crime ridden city for a simpler more wholesome life in our later years. We are debt free, off grid, back to nature clean living. We are preppers with developed skills for remote homesteading. We are off grid, free from dependence on the electric grid and water supplied by the city. We will share our journey for those interested in how to break free and start their own journey. We will demonstrate how easy it is to do even in our 50s. We will be networking with other homesteaders and sharing our experiences freely for others to learn. Solar systems, water wells, septic systems, survival food preparation, emergency water supplies and the like will all be part of this experience.

Cross country SKIING for the first time ever!
So where is your ground and where did you hook your tank wire too and did you use any of the ones under the dash or under the engine Bay
Saved a 3yo Oak that suffered a complete griddle from a weed whacker. Treated the wound with ground silver, placed patches made of bark from another tree’s fresh growth, then wrapped the entire thing in duct tape. 3+ months later tree has been green with new growth the entire time.
Don't touch that little dangling thing!
Thanks dad, I love the detail, it’s the little things that count. I feel a bit more confident at having a go myself now, 🍻👍
The problem is that rust will also continue underneath so if possible lift the iron and seal the top and underside of holes and repaint lapped areas. We have a very wet climate and today it almost rained up hill when a sudden cold cyclone hit. Caught me out as I was working on the roof and had to put an old rusty iron tile back on to stop water flowing in. But far more rust on the underside edges of the iron than on the exposed surface due to capillary action and wind blowing water underneath as it flows off the iron. I also agree not to put screws in the pan or channel where the water flows but on the ridges especially in areas of high rainfall.
You put the screws ar the ridge top. Not in the valleys
Where did you get the pointed hole making device that you used to make the hole for the trap ?
Is that a tig or mig welder
Nice work. Probably should include a lightning arrestor in that setuo. Mother nature will wreck your setup in a hearbeat.
Quickest catch in 5 minutes. 😊
Have been using gopher hawk for 1 year in my gopher trapping biz. To dayt i have caught over 1100 gophers the8are a great traps tunnel location is the biggest key to catching them. I owen 40 of them thanks gopher hawk. The gopher guys .
It's a 350 B, needs hoses and track pads, those are for a loader, not gonna push much esp. uphill. Undercarriage looks pretty good, that is one of the most expensive parts to replace. I have one just like it, works great around my Tree Farm...
Your 4x4 beams are completely wrong for that much to support the much weight. You should have used 1 3/4 " x 12 " LVL extirior beams . Over time, your 4x4 beams are going to sag . You should have used 6X6 posts . The way you notched your 4x4 beams to overlap each other on top of your post is completely wrong . Over time, the weight of the roof will split the 4x4 post where they overlap each other. A building inspector would not pass the inspection of the framing on this project
But it only leaks when it rains! haha was great here in NM where it hardly rains at all. In 2022 it did rain HARD! and there was a leak. But 2023 it didnt rain at all. So heres June 2024 and it has rained 7 days (not in a row) and the leak is back! The young man (Im 74, think I could get on roof but not back down!) who wants to buy this house (was his moms), he got up there and caulked a place on a vent, but that wasnt it. i just realized this MFH home owner installed Pro Panel blue roof is over 20 yrs old now so your advise on checking the screws is probably why its leaking! Eureka! Thanks for posting this helpful video!
Thank you for the good information and your great video! Appreciate it! ❤
what the hell is chip board soneone giving stuff names that don'tmake no sense (skillsaw is now circular saw !) makes u wanna puke
The more videos, the better...... Miss y'all.
You need to take the pump off and take it to an injection pump shop for repair. Without the repair the weights on the governor will damage the housing and could cause the engine to go into a overspeed condition and leave you with a pile of junk. I have had these issues on other machines but same Roosa Master pumps. You have a disaster waiting to happen.
Yep if a person wants to go cheap and dont want to spend alot of money just weld them up and save that new track money as long as the chains and all are not wore plum out
Yeah, if it was really Commiefornia we wouldn't have out of control property values, they'd be regulated as they should be. Guess you don't know much about economics.
Only thing I don’t like is there is no float on hyd. Control
lets see if you end up with lithium batteries?
You should go up to the next size screw instead of trying to use a new one or drilling a new hole. Less holes less chance of future leaks.
I've inherited my dad's big shop house with a metal roof and it has leaks... I do not have the funds to maintain this situation and I'm disabled. I have a teenage son and we've been learning but the problems here are just really overwhelming. Great video. I'm hoping I can tarp this sucker safely above our living quarters. I did have a roofer go up there to do a quick look and he said someone overlapped the metal wrong in areas and near my chimney, someone stepped where they shouldn't have so there's a dip and water leaks in through there. Ahhhhhhhh.
Interesting. What happens to the black specs? Do they end up in the tank?
I believe so! Then hopefully they get caught in the filter! I should have explained that a little better. The black chunks are a disintegrated plastic spacer or washer contained somewhere that isn't actually needed... And they break apart and clog the injection pump restricting the flow and making that little check valve stop working properly. Take the check valve out and it allows for those chunks to flow back to the tank.
Need to completely disconnect the lines from injectors. See if on top of injectors any contamination like metal or dirt. Might need need injector pump
What's going to happen when all of us use electronic cars . Nothing beats pure power from a good old Dozer.
Hey buddy, how's it going? Very informative video. I had a similar problem last year, I would be running g mine and it would shut off. I was told air in the line. That was not my issue, I had a bare wire the was shorting out my loader. Glad to see you got it fixed.
I wished the 350 and 450's I ran would quit but they never did. Good machines and I hope that fixed it. I think it was down on the hug quota but maybe not. You get it up to snuff and it'll sure treat you right. Sounded like dogs snuffling in the background too. God Bless All Yall!
Well done sir. That thing runs better than I do and the replacement parts are cheaper.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Was this a second yard. I don't remember all the traffic. Still a great video
You need to use some TURBO POLY SEAL combined with FLEECE!!!!
This is exactly the video I need right now. Running 85 feet of starlink cable to a post 75 feet from my house. I want to bury the conduit first over a few days(hand digging as my soil is very soft and rock free) then go back and install the star link in a single day once it arrives.

❤ I subscribed because of your Boxer 😍 I currently have 5 Boxers, if my husband, husband would let me, id have 50 Boxers 😅 They're so unlike any dogs we've ever had. They're goofball, high energy, lovey-dovey personalities are priceless ❤🐾🙏
Great video! I worried a little when you said, "You have to ride backwards through that tunnel"! But I figured you didn't mean that literally. Looks like a lot of fun, even if you're tired.🙂
You could use a meal at B&C after that.
That disclaimer for the battery load tester!! 🤦🏻♂️😳🤣 May smoke a bit and get extremely hot! Hahaha that’s freakin awesome!! 🤦🏻♂️ That’s strange the amp difference between the fuses.
Usually an inverter will come around if you speak really low and slow and show it a 12 gauge or a shop hammer. God less Yall and hug The Dozer(S)
Haha.... Well next video I'll share what I learned....LOL
Had a development guard that had a sawed-off 12 gauge he called his 'Hippy No No'. He said he could point it at some hippies and say' no no Hippie, No no' and it worked admirably. BLESSINGS!@@HiddenValleyHomestead
I think I have those wire cutters and their amazing
how do u measure an individual battery when they are all connected??
Putting the smoke back in the wires is the expensive part.
First
Looking awesome you two!!! We've been off UA-cam for so long, but now that we're back on, we wanted to see you two again!! Living the life!!
@@HiddenValleyHomestead sweet dozer! i remember you deciding on that! -T
A nice job Scot but I don't think your seal between the deck and the logs will be watertight. Did you consider putting some caulking in just to seal the deal?
Not really. All the research I've found doesn't suggest doing that. That tape really is just to slow down water penetration into the top of the log. We also sealed the log prior to putting the tape on. It should at least double or triple the life of that wood from rot. Thx!
Crazy!!!
You’re gonna plow?!? Just give it 10 mins it will melt off ;) 😂😂👍
That Ford is beautiful 😭
Thx !! Bulletproofed 6.0 baby....
