I have learned so much from the folks who built all the buildings on the old farm I bought last year.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm 50, and hoping to build something like this (maybe smaller lol) for the future too. I'm truly starting from nothing, having not lived with Christ in my life until recently and so made bad decisions in almost every area of my past. Seeing you pack up and start over again was inspirational.

Loved this video..............

Great videos Pa Mac! I have watched them all and can't wait for the next one.

It's something to come back to a land where you know someone close down your line built and made or shaped the land before you. I certainly felt something like that after i visited the land my great-great-great grandfather owned.
So, so many things you notice and wonder at, then, someone in the family who still remembers will point out a detail and another, or a picture will shed light..that's when it all clicks in and you feel at home.
One day, when i'm older, i'll return there and write my own story. :) -
The internet brought me first to Episode 2 of this series and I ended up watching the whole thing through only to bring me back to this first episode - and this "final episode" made me appreciate the whole series so much more. Have you done this for a living all along? Would love to hear more of your story in future episodes (perhaps a draw my life with your black and white drawings???). Anyways just wanted to say thank you for the time and dedication you put in to making these videos great!!

Loved your videos! You encouraged me to build my own with what I have!

I just re-watched this episode and Pa Mac et al. really came alive for me. Awesome story telling. I was wondering as you were plowing, what are your thoughts on no-till gardening, e.g. Back to Eden type of gardening that Paul Gautchi does? Seems you have plenty of wood chips to make it happen if you had an itchin' to do so.

Sweet video, and a very interesting series. I LOVE your music composition! Want.
-
Haha this sounds great! I look forward to seeing where you go with it!

Really wish youtube would allow more than a single thumbs down!

Been encouraged by what you’ve already done. Taking steps to do it on my own. Help my family of five achieve our dream to sustain the environment and sustain healthy lives for our family and the community. gofund.me/4v8yajpg

This would be so much better if it was narrated.

I have watched your videos for years and they have inspired me and my family to live more responsively. Please help us reach our goal to do our part. https://www.gofundme.com/4v8yajpg

If I didn't have a strong attraction to your views and way of life already, Pa Mac, I took a break from reading your book to re-watch the first video you made and found that it was published on the day that Lolo was born. Blessings, Ian.

Probably the reality we're all searching for. Which in turn teaches us true appreciation. If we could just be greatfull for what we have... we would be filled. It's like hungering for a reference point...... which we lack. Well... I hope this brings us all to that point and we realize how good we really have it. Please watch......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPbz5TDy6fs
