This is how everyone shold be living

That was an excellent example of a healthy, appealing, off-the-grid meal. Thanks for sharing!

This is *exactly* how I've been dreaming of living! The chickens, the repurposing, the sun cooking, rocket stove, companion planting, no crop rows, growing plants to use as fertilizer (like comfrey, not sure what you were using), pouring the wash water on the plants, eating the amaranth and pepper leaves (I love sweet potato leaves myself), everything was so exactly my dream that I couldn't contain myself while watching! Lol. It's everything I do (without the space) and my friends and neighbors think I'm a nut! So glad to see someone else with an almost identical vision! It was a pleasure to watch your video! Thank you for making it. I am re-inspired!

Yeah! MAMA SITA's Barbeque Marinade....hello from the Phils!

I want to have a garden like yours in the future. Thanks for sharing.

I totally love the nesting box! Sometime when I get my own house (soon) I will be getting chickens. Great stuff here. Love it!

That is a meal fit for a king! Sitting here salivating, I wish I could sit down with you and enjoy that amazing meal!

My wife and I live in an Eastern Shore retirement community and we envy living the way you do. Boy, we sure would like to have a garden of greens/veggies, and fruits. Can't do that here abouts. No sir. Can't even have chickens! Neighbors would freak out! lol Of course, some are freaks anyway, so that's no surprise. We're elderly, so we know ourselves who's going to be neighborly or not. My, oh my, watching this video brought my wife and I back to when we had gardens of our own several decades back, in the many acres of near bottom land, in the Carolina Smokey Mountains, and when we had homes elsewhere too. We combined, have family in almost every State, including Alaska and Hawaii. That's nice and all, but we can't grow things in their world. We don't live with them. Even if we did, I think they wouldn't like it very much. The elderly are simply not wanted nor appreciated much. Not enough to cater to their likes or desires. Keep making videos because you'll never know how much these down to earth, "normal" things are needed for people to see. We need people like you showing how people should be living. Much appreciated.

Thank you for this very inspiring video ! cooking most of my meals in a fire place in winter, you gave me the idea how to prepare my food without electricity in the summer, though i will have to find out how to make this solar cooker myself :-) Great juicer, also, and your food looks great ! Greetings from Greece

Terrific! If only we all did this. Well done.

Dan, I really enjoyed watching how you put together many of the elements of sustainability in a meal. Thank-you for posting!!!

Completely back in time and I even invited myself to dinner made me hungry I'm going to try this dinner outside.Thanks

What a great video. I'm putting together my All Seasons Solar Cooker tonight and I see I'm going to have to go back and refold the scores to give it a more rounded shape that it needs to do the job correctly. You video is very educational for us newbies. Thank you, brother!

I have to say that was the most enjoyable Video I have ever watched on KZfaq ! Nicely done !

It's so inspiring watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Wow I learned so much in this video! You are such an amazing inspiration!!

I have a brand new baby tree collard growing right now. It is about four inches high. Only 2 months old. Grew it from direct sowed seeds. Loved seeing how tall it can get in a few years.

Great video,happy to have found your channel. Looking forward to going through the rest of what you are sharing!

You're kicking ass and taking names! Love the garden and love the look of that grub!

I did this when I was in third grade with nachos and now I'm going to show this to my nephew who will be in second grade this year. If it weren't for your video I may have not even remembered the experience much less have been able to share it with my nephew. Thank you for the time and passion you put into your videos they are very educational and entertaining.

Great video on cooking what you grow...love the solar and rocket stove

Thank you for sharing the black wild rice water 💧measurements. Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏wonderful video

just wow you actually living my dream !!!

You're inspiring me a lot to leave my job and choose ur living style...! :) Great Video! Keep em coming.

We didn't know you can eat some of those greens! Looks delish!

Loved watching you for the first time.

First time I found your channel! Yay! I am inspired! When my grandson was in second grade, we were deciding on which vegetables to grow in the garden. One, chose moringa. Two, sweet potatoes. Three, zucchini and yellow squash with green beans planted next to them, From there we also chose spinach, peas, cabbage and salad greens, That was the start of our garden. Started a compost pile. Later put a trellis in for grapes, two varieties of pear and two varieties of apples. Then we added the salsa garden, tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, garlic, green peppers, and a mini lime tree in container. We have added so much from there. We made a solar oven to cook in. The first time we used it was for mini Brownie Bites. That was the start of his life long dream. He is 17 now and in culinary school. Cooking garden to home palette pleasers. He has his own herb, & spice garden and mixes his seasonings. He loves fishing and camping so his skills are put to good use around the campfire. He is also a welder and put those skills to good use for outdoor cooking. There are more of us out there so we can't all be crazy as some like to say. I am so happy to have found your channel to share. Hope it grows and the life skills catch on like fire! Thank you!

Then, you are somebody I need to know. I loved your video.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Easily one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing. :-)

What an awesome way to live. 👍

stayed up late to finish watching your video. I like how you used multiple methods of cooking and eating. Made we want to get more gardening done too.

Looks awesome

I would add a friend to share your abundance with (perhaps the videographer), and maybe some laughter for a sweet. You will outlive all of us! I built my solar oven out of items I had around the house and love it! So easy and incredibly satisfying. I enjoy cooking in the oven and on my barbeque on hot summer days when I hate turning on any appliances that generate heat! Thanks for sharing!

How awesome! I have a large garden yet you have more variety of vegetables in your back yard! I'm so challenged. Thanks for sharing and opening my mind on solar cooking as well. Keep posting...

woh---- that's look good. made me hungry.

Excellent lifestyle choices , and healthy diets ,home grown, no chemicals, just Gods gifts, a wonderful way of life you show to all . Thankyou Godbless 🙏

Soooo inspiring!!! Love this way of living 👍🏼🙌🏼💖

Amazing video and I learned so much!👍😀

Put rocks, or 1gallon bottles of sand or water in your solar oven during the Winter, Spring, or Fall to heat your home. Bring them in when they are saturated with the maximum temperature of your oven each one or two hours and replace with a new set of bottles or rocks until the sun goes down. Gear up with larger rocks or to 2.5 gallon bottles of sand or water and use several solar ovens during the day for more heat. When the rocks, or 1 gallon or 2.5 gallon bottles reach maximum temperature of your oven and fully saturated with heat bring them into your home. You can heat many rocks, 1 gallon bottles or 2.5 gallon bottles throughout the day to maximum temperatures in most solar ovens when turned every hour toward the sun. Sand seems to work best for me and is less messy but hot water is good too to bath and do dishes. -- J.E. Ante.

Outstanding

Brillantly done Dan. I kinda cook the same way. My rocket cookstove is done with firebricks and solar cooker is a make-shift from aluminum auto window shades, that works basically the same way. Peace & Blessings

Thanks my idea of a great life!, you have inspired me

So awesome!

Fabulous eating

Very nice!

very nice meal... yummy

Fantastic thank you

I've been wanting to make a cooker, solar dehydrator, and a beeswax melter. We have the sun, but getting to it has been a challenge for a procrastinator such as myself.

Excellent.

Such a nice video! I’m thinking of buying this solar cooker so using you as my research!! Thank you for the demonstration!!!

Thanks, very instructive

Nice, i have to get a juicer like you have there. I think it will see good use since i grow lots of berries and fruit.

Pretty much better than any of those "music videos" they have on here.(youtube)

I just discovered your channel, your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Interesting content, and filmed well. You are giving me so many great ideas for my garden. I'm just beginning the process of getting rid of my lawn via sheet mulching!

nice video!! thanks for sharing

Hi again, just subscribed hoping for that bread video made in the All season🍞🥖🥖

YUMMMMM

Thanj you

This was a wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing it. I take Moringa capsules. I live in Louisiana and I do believe I can get some trees to grow here. Would you happen to know where I can locate some or do I buy seeds in a packet? Thank you ever so much. Blessings

Awesome video 👌, can you make a bread video next?, that would be great, thank you 😊😊😊

I just watched your video in 2022. Is there a particular brand of rocket stove that you recommend? I’m trying to be more self-sustaining and not as dependent on the grid. Thanks in advance for any info!
