    Very inspiring video. Did you clear a walking path yourself? Or did you hire someone? I love the red cinder walkway against the blackness of the lava rock along the sides. Beautiful combination.

    This may sound like a stupid question, but do you guys get internet out there? I ask because I want to live this lifestyle but I work from home and need to be online for about 8 hours a day

    • @Mauirunner
      @Mauirunner  Před 2 lety +1

      A valid question. We have connectivity but not that strong but good enough for videos and online classes. We are on the list for starlink.

    What kind of luck have you had with using the goats to clear land you want to use? I have 6 acres I'm moving back to in December. I plan on using goats and electric fence to have them clear all the brush.

    Totally intrigued!!! A few questions for Chris and Brennan - did they buy the land? was it cheap? and uhmmm where do they use the toilet (number 2)?? Do they have a cooler for refrigerated foods? I live on Oahu and I'll stick to my comfy house but I want to live vicariously through those guys (can we get updates?) Love your channel BTW and you have a new subscriber!
