  • Special thanks to Gary, Mary, and Myleigh ‎@JunktojemsHomestead for shouting my channel out! 💯🥰 Thank you for all the new subscribers! In this video, I take you on a little tour of our 9.7 acres in Cochise County Arizona. We recently listed this property for sale as we have a change of plans! We just bought 10 acres of raw off-grid land in Arkansas! We have no idea WHEN exactly we will be moving yet, but ASAP! I have some projects that I have been working on in preparation for our 18-hour drive from Arizona to Arkansas. I hope you enjoy the update and follow along on our new adventures in Arkansas soon! 🌵🌞
    Here is a link to the for sale listing of our Arizona property if you're interested!
    www.realtor.co...
    Thanks for joining us on our journey Back2Good!
    We appreciate you taking the time to check out our content!
    We live completely off-grid using solar power for our electricity needs.
    We have a dual fuel generator as back up but rarely need to use it.
    We plan to utilize rain catchment in the future but for now we haul water using an IBC tote on a trailer that we fill at a town nearby that cost about $30/month.
    We are currently living in Cochise County Arizona but have recently purchased 10 acres in Arkansas! We are making plans and preparing to move to Arkansas soon!
    Stay tuned for what lies ahead!

      I love the desert, and the dryness really helps my asthma and allergies. The humidity in Arkansas will be challenging. However, Arkansas will have so many amazing advantages, and I'm so excited to be moving there! 💯🥰 I appreciate you watching!

    You need some ground cloth on top of rocks to keep dirt from feeling the cracks in rocks up with dirt. You could put rocks on top of cloth and dirt will cover , but you will still have water path down ditch and will not have to dig it out every couple of months.

    I have been looking into Arkansas for the past 3 years. Our first property we looked into was in Arkansas. Unfortunately we didn't make the deposit in time to get it. A beautiful 11 acres, had well, septic, power, some fencing, and a pole barn already. Had a beautiful bluff kind of dividing the land in half and at the end of the property were stunning views. We have moved all over Missouri seeking that perfect place and haven't really found it. We have places we miss for sure but not that can't live without place yet. We are currently looking in Arkansas again as we are going to have an opportunity to buy land here soon. We have big plans for our homestead if everything works out for us. I wish you all the best of luck on your journey. Starting over isn't easy not matter how many times you've done it but you get wiser as you go.

    • @B2GOG
      @B2GOG  Před 2 měsíci

      Exactly! 💯 We looked many places too when we found this 9.7 acres in Arizona. It was a great deal on the land and I love Arizona! My husband and kids gre up in Arizona though and really enjoyed the 4 season weather and all the greenery when we visited my family in Illinois for a few years. So, before we started building here in AZ we were lucky to find some land in AR! Hopefully, we will be able to make the move soon to AR! We have listed our AZ land for sale! 🙏 I hope you're able to find land in AR soon and maybe we'll meet one day! I know that DD5 said they were going to be doing a video soon featuring some land for sale. I had good luck finding land on Landwatch... maybe check their site.

      When I'm not moving around, I have a tripod that I use, but when I'm walking around, I need a gimbal, which I don't have yet. The camera has stabilization, but it only helps a little bit. The gimbal will allow the camera to float, so no jiggling around. I have one on my wishlist, but they aren't cheap, so I'm praying I can afford one someday! 🙏 Thanks for watching! Sorry, I'm new and learning and will hopefully get more skilled at filming! 🤣🥰

    • @B2GOG
      @B2GOG  Před 3 měsíci

      There are several reasons, but mostly because it is much closer to our families, making it possible to drive there for family events and holidays. My husband and kids grew up in AZ, and they prefer the greenery and seasons. We have just bonded very well with the AR community as well, and I love how they really work together! 🥰

      My husband works full-time and isn't home when I'm recording usually. On his days off work, he helps me with all the heavy lifting things that I can't do. He is starting to get used to me recording things, but it takes time adjusting when we normally lead private lives and then decide to try and share our journey with others publicly. We also have 2 kids that live at home still. Xander is 16 and Lexe will be 13 soon. 🥰

      @rwg727 This is just a temporary fix as we will be moving to Arkansas soon. We do plan to use the same type of graywater system but will be making it more permanent. Setting up a proper drain system will be very helpful. We are doing more research to see what method we will use, but I do think that the fabric idea would certainly help! Thank you! ❤️
