still find it hard to believe how much random shit was on that property, no house but bumper cars! Also that septic system just scares me to think about, might be best just to fill it with dirt and act like it never existed, same with the well.

You bought a rodent habitat/hantavirus incubator and managed to make it decent. I could smell it just watching you work on it. Done a few old trailers in my day. The land rocks though. You may be able to use the stream for water if you UV it and filter it

For the tv you could think of getting a raspberry pi or a mini pc. They don’t use much power and atleast in the case of raspberry pi it is easy to expand the storage to store shows or movies or even KZfaq videos. You can just get a case for the raspberry pi and Velcro it to the back.

About the water well, it is a little common to it get dirty if the submersive pump is too close to the bottom, try lifting it a little and the flow is really good for a semi-well, here we only got half that on the good days and it wound dry up on some months, until we drilled it 20 meters deep, now it constant. Really liking the videos! Good luck with the land!

Thanks! The pump is 30 feet deep and I measured the well with fishing line and a weight at 130 feet. It has plenty of water and never runs dry but running the pump isn’t working.

@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 It's pretty deep so maybe what is happening, looking on the older videos, is that it was a conventional well, like large mouth, digged by hand kind of well, and it started collapsing, that caused the crater next the tube, and the old owner to not lose the well put the iron tube inside, like a semi-aquifer well, if so you probably is dragging the lose dirt from the walls very slowlly and is just to luck if is gonna get clean or not, either way, the rust might be a problem.

@marcomenon4636 I was very curious about the crater. When I pulled the fishing weight out, it had bright orange sludge on it. Probably rust. I may need to start saving for a new well.

@7:20 fart that;'s crazy, I use an old converter from a RV I scrapped, it's always running keeping the bus charged up and the 12v lights on, the thought of 120v coming through and maybe even causing a "hot skin" condition is scary, bus body is grounded though so it should be alright... Gutting the thing and rebuilding it, after a couple of years I found I'd do some things different and now they are going to happen. You got a nice setup man, comfortable and cheap living is the way to go, working hard to pay the bank sucks alot. The inverter you show I have one it was from an 84 year RV I never used it after hacking up the RV but that wouldn't be too "shocking" to imagine it giving 120 rather than 12 lol, I kept it for the trans and contractor, I wouldn't use it to run RV 12v again. Ive only been watching a couple of days, I just thought you were single so you got kid(s) too? I've got 5, just imagine that in a 40' space LOL, it bonds people if they will just love one another.

I have no dependents except my cat (which I'm beginning to think I should put up for adoption because I'm not the best caretaker, and I can't travel without worrying about him), so I'm looking into things like house sitting, seasonal work and couch surfing, since I'm beginning to realise it's possible to live like that if you really want to.

I'll throw my hat into the ring on the well. We are on lake water at our house, and it goes through the following items: 1 micron pleated filter Chlorine pump adds bleach 2 x 120 gallon holding tanks (gives the bleach time to kill everything in the water) Carbon filter to remove bleach and VOCs like Roundup Tannin softener (basically beefed up water softener, only helps with one specific thing in our water part of the year) There is also a UV light after the carbon filter but the ballast is fucked and I haven't felt the urge to shell out replacement money yet. The bleach is necessary to kill giardia I believe, the UV would suffice otherwise. When we moved in, the house already had half this stuff installed from one company, but if you just wanted the bleach treatment setup I'd guess it could be done for ~5 grand if installed by a company specializing in this stuff. I'm assuming you wouldn't go that route and would rather do it yourself, which would probably cost less, but I can't tell you how much. The other issue aside from price is the amount of maintenance you'd have to do. Replace the filter every so often, keep the bleach mix topped up, sump retention tanks every week or so (at lease while you're there), replace the carbon every so many years, replace chlorine pump parts, etc. If this isn't a full time residence it might not be worth it. You'd also want to have a shed or some kind of outbuilding to house all this shit. It takes some space. If you want more details I'd be happy to oblige, but I figure it's not really what you're after for this.

You have no idea how envious I am. I love that northern hemisphere temperate deciduous forest like you have there. We only have forests like this in a few parts of Australia. I'm from Far North Queensland, where we have some of the most dense and ancient rainforest on the planet (most people don't realize that we have rainforest in Australia), but the heat and humidity gets harder to deal with the older I get. So im looking hard for something like you have there. But finding a cheap block with a creek and decent forestation is both remarkably difficult to find, plus our real estate prices in Australia are completely out of control. I'm still gonna do my best to find a block much like you have. I'll be absolutely happy to build myself a couple room humpy out of a shipping container and stone/wood/scrap and enjoy the hermit life.

Man I lived for 5 years in a school bus with my family, don't care what other people think man. The fact you have a 35 ach place to enjoy is way better than any house by far. After 5 years of saving we don't live in the bus anymore, like you I've got a big yard to play in up in the mountains, there is no mansion on Earth that I'd like better than just my yard alone, we do have a home now too, but the yard was what I like the most. Man I like how you built your bridge, I built one out of scrap lumber but it cant compare to yours, nice!@ I live in another state S of you and Im paying about 1800 a year in taxes, kinda pisses me off given I live in a tiny town that use to be a mining town, but now don't even have 200 people, only out of towners can afford the property here it don't make sense. RV/tiny house living just makes sense way better than over paying for rent, just save and wait, patience pays off friend. You got a pretty place man, screw what complainers say, they just gripe out of jealousy.

those rv furnaces are 40% efficient at best and hard on the batteries, try looking into those eibacher or chinese clone diesel heaters. I have one and swear by it. they also make a hot water variant you might be able to split between heat/domestic hot water. Depending on the age of the hot water heater you might be able to get away with just replacing the tank as the mfr of some of those units will sell them separate (not hard to do). If you still have the Rv fridge look around online some places make replacement cooling loops you peel stick onto the back of the old fridge. -some guy kinda like you but ya know poorer
