Watch the sun rise with us 🌞

Youtube

Come along on our journey by watching our videos, where we share the excitement of farming, building, growing, and learning together. From exploring permaculture and survival techniques to immersive tours and practical methods, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and learn from

Join us on a serene, rainy day at our permaculture site where every drop of rain tells a story. From tilling and sowing seeds in our freshly nurtured soil, to dealing with the unexpected twists of nature—like our tanks running dry and our road stream-bridge washing out—discover the highs and lows of living in sync with the land. Whether it’s rain or shine, every day is an adventure. Watch as we embrace the challenges and celebrate the tranquility of our green, but arid escape. Patreon members get extra stuff, and early too. It also helps me create new videos! https://www.patreon.com/simple_earth #simpleearth #selfsufficiency #homestead #offgridliving
Soil, Seeds, and Water Woes: Growing Food, Rain or Shine.
Cape Lob Ear goats, Crop circle, soil building season 3, Rainwater harvesting into the dam, Wood delivered far from the point of use (wilderness roads!) Progress at the earth bag building site, A new concrete plinth for the chickens Our desert homestead progress cannot be measured in anything but smiles and goals. We feel successful in every shovel full of dirt, every plank nailed in, every egg laid and eaten & every goat that's born. The goal is to get near that small, permaculture, self-sufficient cold-turkey point that we have planned for, for so long. Enjoy the visit, vlog and view. Thank you to all my Patreon friends, for whom this video was specifically formulated. https://www.patreon.com/simple_earth #simpleearth #selfsufficiency #homestead #offgrid
Progress: Sunflowers, Soil, Goats, Timber, Concrete & Rainwater Dam Filled
Construction site progress is much slower on a solo/couple build. This tour shows the status so far, the workload and plan for the earthbag building site, the first rain harvesting (multi-purpose) roof and the clay mine area. The first posts are in, and the roof will provide shade while we work, catch rain and eventually be a cover for the bike, tools and other things. The earth-bag dome building area is a huge manual excavation effort, but we are making headway. I'll also show you the first pipes, the area where we get the bag contents from and some other tidbits. --- Welcome to the newest Patreon friend, a Dusty Goat called James Westgate (just too late to be added to the credits in this video). https://www.patreon.com/simple_earth #simpleearth #selfsufficiency #homestead #earthbag
Sustainable House Build (part 1): Foundation Mining Rock and Clay
Is the road ready and passable to the drill rig? We didn't plan on constructing a new road or drilling for more water. Also, there isn't any logistics or finances in place, but the opportunity is here. In this part 2, the trucks arrive and attempt the new road before starting to drill for two days. Two, stressful, days. Let's see what happens next. Super thanks and apologies to Patreon friend, Kevin Loubser (whose name got omitted in the credits for technical reasons) There are captions available, which also include some extra bits. 00:00 Part 2 00:20 Trucks attempt the road 01:10 The Drill Site 01:25 Raising the Drill 01:40 Drilling Starts 02:30 End of Day 2 02:58 Drill Samples 03:45 Day 3 - Results 04:02 Flushing Morne is also a pilot, and has some fun videos over at his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@morneswanepeol3702 https://www.patreon.com/simple_earth #simpleearth #selfsufficiency #homestead #offgridliving
