    Foot, horse (animal conveyance), wheel, carts, wagons, bicycle, combustion engine, car, truck, tractor, (more tractors), riding-lawnmowers, hybrids, e-bikes, e-lawnmowers, e-tractors (I'm sure I left thousands of things out or mixed the order, and I'm sure there are more to come...). Point is, humans have been using and adapting the technologies available to make their lives easier and more efficient. If you've watched this channel, you'll have seen that that the Kramers don't rush in. (It took Nate months to select his tractor, for example.) Thanks Katie for showing us how you've adapted this technology into your daily homestead life.

      Exactly, there are always improvements and efficiencies that you can incorporate into your routine to simplify your routines.

    I know within a very few seconds of the video starting that Katie has filmed it! It has a particular artsy feel to it.
    Great positive informative video, thank you.

      I never learned to ride a bike and at 50, I don’t think I want to try. But this trike looks like fun and seems something I can do without fear like a regular bicycle.

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Před 2 měsíci

      I cannot ride a regular 2 wheel bike very well, the trike is very different but once you get used to it, easy.

    • @TheKraemerLife

      Yes, if you need to do something quickly or carry around a buch of different items it is really helpful.

    Really, really enjoyed the episode I watched today! I do not have chickens or an electric bike or mass acreage you have. So I thoroughly enjoy the ride around, chicken egg collections, seeing the brooding hens, picking her up and she was gracious. Could you explain about broody hens and why some do this and some don’t. I live you telling the roosters too.

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Před 2 měsíci

      There are certain breeds of chickens that are more prone to going broody. From my experience and our flocks it is the larger breeds. Our Brahmas, Marans, Cochins, Olive Egger, Salmon Faverolle, and Black Australorp. The RIR, Legbars, Ameraucanas, and Buckeyes much less likely to go broody...age also plays a bit of a part.

    @DinSF Před 2 měsíci

    I'd add a weighted steel or metal grate when you are going down the walking paths with the bike. That will help keep the paths clear, help with leveling , and it also gives you somewhere to put sticks or other items we see you guys duck or get hit with when you do your walking videos

    The ride at the end where Katie was riding the bike was great! I have this idea. I know there are many people with trucks, trailers for pulling lawn mowers would come and help. Hey, why not start a Support Group from your followers?

    Great video Kate! I like the videos more when you and Nate are doing them alone! The talking ones where you are talking about what you both have been doing seems so stressful, maybe just my age. I worry about Nate destroying himself mentally and physically on that house and if he is going to even enjoy it with you when its done!

      You should! We can whip out a chicken tractor pretty efficiently these days, lots of practice.

    Hey, Katie what type of bin is that broody hen sitting in? Did you try using that for dust bath as well? thank you, Darlene

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Před 2 měsíci

      They are stackable bins we got from Home Depot. We use a slightly smaller one for their dust baths but these would likely work as well.

    I don't know if you and Nate track your steps per day....but I bet it is several miles. Hopefully, this will help make things easier for you.

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes, we put in several miles a day just doing chores, walking the dogs, and filming KIK. The trike has made it easier when you want to run and check something real quick and its quieter and less bumpy than the lawnmower.

    Question for you guys. Did you have to deal with any Brown recluse issues or snake issues moving to a property in Tennessee?

    • @TheKraemerLife
      @TheKraemerLife  Před 2 měsíci +1

      No issues with recluse but there are black snakes everywhere. We haven't had issues with any that are poisonious thankfully.
