What started as a simple campsite is now turning into a house as we bend rebar, set J-bolts, pour concrete, and begin framing the floor system. Along the way we deal with rookie mistakes, bulging concrete forms, and even a surprise storm that destroys our outdoor kitchen. If you’re interested in off-grid living, homesteading, DIY home building, or building a house from scratch, this episode shows the real challenges and lessons learned while turning raw land into a home. If you're thinking about buying raw land or starting your own off-grid homestead, this is how it started for us. 📚 Best Construction Books https://amzn.to/4sgJ1uq *WATCH THE ORIGINAL VIDEOS FOR THIS EPISODE* ➡️ https://youtu.be/W-iLClkbZwM?si=Tap9CoXNVw0bMoqo ✅ Printable Emergency Preparedness Checklist - https://geni.us/PrepperChecklist 👑 Come to church with us http://geni.us/Church 🍕 Stock up on Emergency Food here https://geni.us/BestEmergencyFood 💊 Get Emergency Prescription Antibiotics here https://geni.us/EmergencyAntibiotics Legal Info: This channel is owned and operated by Martin and Julie Johnson.
