YOU TWO are the channel. Not the boat! Yall are great!
Thank you! We hope ur right😂😅
But I won’t lie… umm.. love the boat adventures so much that our house is for sale and we are looking at sailboats. 🤷🏻♂️ keep the videos going no matter what you do though. You guys are great to watch and I appreciate you.
I'm just thinking it's gonna be nice to bring our boat around Peurto Rico one day and invite ya onboard for a break from your "The Good, Bad, and Ugly Hacienda" adventures! I'm knot saying I'd follow all sailing channels crossing over, but I'm definitely going to stick with ya'll!
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly They are right you guys are the channel, it gets to the point that you see one beach you've seen them all. Come on Mattie think big we want to see you ripping it up with a skid steer, also have you guys looked into what kind of poisonous snakes are slinking around in those bushes you are ripping out? Any way on with the new adventure, can't wait to see what's instore for us.
You're absolutely correct. In a way I'm happy they're off the water. With this heat we've been having. I think we're going to get hit by a huge Hurricane. I feel like I know them, and I wouldn't want anything that happened to them.
Guys , you are doing this the hard way. I am an old homesteader. get some premier one net fencing and a solar charger for it. Fence off an area and then put some goats in there. They will clear it all for you. Then put in some piggies and they will turn it over and prep it for replanting. Use livestock to do the clearing for you. and make goat milk and bacon along the way.
Goats!!!.
No goats no pigs you got enough on your plate for now.
Funny! But you forgot to tell him how hogs smell!😂 Be nice!
Easily overlooked when you smell the bacon cooking. Plus an outdoor pen with just a couple hogs will not small bad. @@geraldmiller6679
Wrong the goats and pigs will do the clearing for him. Freeing up his time. @@jeffro43ify
My dad passed away Last Monday morning at 2:30am. He NEVER missed one of y'all's shows so I just wanted to say thank you for being such an amazing apart of our life. I would listen every morning since he found y'all then he binged watched you two catch up and now I am watching you to get peace and remembering my father so I just wanted to thank you guys very much for being so amazing and let my family be a part of your journey
He wanted to buy a shirt so bad to support you guys but we just couldn't afford it but please know you were supposed and loved and prayed for from us
I am so sorry my dear, condolences to you and your family ❤❤from South Africa with Love 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
So sorry to hear about your pops bro!
@@TerryHolcombe-ik5jlI'll buy you a 👕
Sorry for your loss! My dad passed 21 yrs ago and it seems it just happened😢
That is Adjuntas, beautiful piece of land. Welcome home
Goats will happily eat all that poison and brush for you, and chickens will help with bugs. Trust me, get your animals sooner then later and put them to work for you. You would be amazed at how fast some goats can clear land for you. You get free labor and they get a meal.
Have you actually had goats and chickens? Goats require a fence but you are correct about what they can do. Chickens can run loose if you are in the correct place but still need a chicken house and if they have hawks then hawks love chickens. He needs all the details that go along with each livestock not just run out and buy something!
one goat is easy enough to tie up to a tree...lost a few bantam chickens to hawks back in n.c., years ago...here, not so, but I've seen them@@geraldmiller6679
Great video can’t wait to see it finished ⭐️👋😊
I have 42 goats in the Oklahoma mountains with no fencing and 2 great pyrenees dogs. They have a barn for them to get out of the weather and our chickens lay and roost in the barn. They help keep the parasite ls off the goats. The only downside is you cant really have anything nice like flowers etc, the goats will also destroy your cars as well so we fence in the cars and gardens, lol
@@geraldmiller6679😅 😅
Food for thought, with you RV tires sitting on raw dirt with all of the rains your going to want to get those tires on support pads to bridge more ground area as your tires on raw dirt will sink, chalk each side tires front and back to keep the trailer from rolling, and jack the RV up to place plastic RV pads, block paver pads or 2x6's under the tires for extra support, you may need to add additional pads under the tires to make sure that your trailer sits level when lowered, make sure that the scissor trailer jacks are up while you are performing this task, also the support jacks on each end of the trailer are not meant to jack up the trailer they are only meant to support the trailer from rocking back in forth while your living in it, and help from movement when the wind blows. I have a 30 toy trailer with a 4500 watt generator, this powers the AC and hot water heater, lights ect... however the generator is loud and eats up gas, so alternative power options are a must, the gas electric frig will operate off propane. If you need RV help the National RV Training academy has a CZcams channel that you can research everything RV to help with all of the things you need help with.
Chock, not chalk.
You guys don’t shy away from hard work…..good luck
Excellent advice! This is exactly what I was going to comment, too.
I’m really happy for you guys. Loved the sailing, and I love that you’re still following your dreams!!! Keep us involved in what you’re doing… we’ll watch!
Agreed, agreed, agreed! My father cut 2x12 into 2 foot pieces (many pieces) and propped one under each jackstand. Made a difference.
Good ADVICE indeed, i gave my own as well! I own a 40' Mocano Dyansty and i love it!
From the start of the video i kept thinking that the scenery reminded me so much of my beautiful island 🇵🇷! It was such a pleasure to hear her confirm it!! Que Viva Puerto Rico Coño!! 😊
Esto es en Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 ❤

Good Luck,you arrive the Paradise 🤙
It was so nice to see Kristen run up and hug Matt and I really like how she's looking at him these days.
I would not be surprised if we see a mini Matt or or Kristen soon. They have a great channel and will be successful which endeavor they decide to take on next
The way she looks at Matt is what every man dreams of.
@@SouloftheTrollI agree, she has that twinkle in her eyes !! And uncle Matty is gleaming with pride and joy. ❤❤❤
she alwaya looks at him like that...
Yes that's what girls do. If you give them a ring they will immediately start to build a nest. It's actually very nice how that works. And it is true that a boat might not be the best place to raise a family. Fun while it lasted though I suppose....
First thing I’d be tempted to build is a pole shed large enough to cover the trailer along with an outdoor working, storage and lounge area. Maybe screen it in. Provides protection from the sun and rain as well as a place to install a lot of solar.
I was thinking the same thing, Weather Protection for everything...
That is an excellent idea
We're sailors, but we will keep watching because the two of you are so entertaining and so real.
They where real when they where on a $5k boat struggling now there in a $75k grand campervan .building a house with all that land at our expense
@@stormzypickleton4945what expense?
Yea I agree I felt like they went to PR and just kept sailing around there and I hope they would go around the world that’s why I was doing patron but when they sat in the same place for almost a year I stopped patron because I felt they was just saving the money and and not Cruising to other country’s I hope the water calls them back
Hey! I just found your channel! This is like watching us when we moved here to Puerto Rico full time 10+ years ago and fighting back the vines lol. We started with just a bow saw and quickly graduated to a chainsaw too! Now we have our little farm mostly under control, but we work at it every day especially in the summer. Good luck on your move. You can watch some of our videos if you want to see a little of our homestead and also our adventures out and about in Puerto Rico. Bienvenidos!
@@LifeTransPlanet great job on the stairs u guys built! That's one hell of a job. Great videos
Watching two people living their dream is good for everyone’s soul. Congratulations guys!
Matt, welcome to the jungle. The first thing i learned dealing with the Costa Rica jungle is that it grows faster than you can keep up. If you aren't down to the dirt you are just cutting the grass. All those roots need to come out and you need a stone pad to set your camper on. Otherwise, all those plants will be delighted at the sunlight you allowed in and will try to swallow your camper. I see a lot of work, a skid steer wold be a blessing, and a lot of loads of rock and gravel to establish a beachhead against the jungle. Goats are a good idea after you actually get an are cleared (no roots, all the way down to bare dirt, then rock, then a leveled gravel pad, then camper. The best of luck to you. Don't be afraid to hire some Manuel Labor to help with the grunt work. Pura Vida.
You guys are freaking amazing! Go for your dreams and who cares what anyone says. It's your life to live! I give you both the utmost credit for pursuing your dreams. Good luck to both of you of you in all of your future endeavors. My boyfriend and I love watching your videos. You both make us laugh. Live your dreams! Go get it! We love you guys!
Still watching. Really liked the sailing version. I trying.
May have been said already. Goats, goats, for goodness sake goats. Had about 1/2 acre to bush hog. Had to worry about hitting high areas, low stumps, large sticks and debris that can not see because of all the weeds. Rented some goats. They cleaned out good. These goats were weed eating machines.
Y’all are living my dream. I’m a homesteader from the mountains of Virginia that has always dreamed of sailing away with my chickens to a tropical island somewhere.
Happy for y’all🤙🏼
I was thinking about Appalachia this morning clearing brush. I'd have been bit by a copper head by now if I was up there😅
No doubt. I’d Cut in a perimeter and put up four strands of electric fence on temporary post and let animals clear it
@@joshp8082bring your chicken here PR
I am glad hard-working, honest people like you, moved to Puerto Rico. Bienvenido a mi tierra, mi tierra es tuya también!! I hope, someday we can meet and have a cerveza together.
Muy bien! Gracias🙏🇵🇷
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly ME TOO LOL congratulations and welcome to Adjuntas!
I’m excited to continue watching your channel! I was born in Puerto Rico but raised my entire life in USA. Many blessings to you both and you picked a wonderful island to build your life!💯🥰❤️🌴🌊☔️☔️☔️
Someone probably said this already. But the jacks aren’t meant to level the camper. They are for support only. You need leveling blocks under the tires to level it. Also, it’s a water heater. If the water was already hot, you wouldn’t need to heat it. 😅 your fridge and water heater should run off Electric or propane. Should be a switch on the fridge to select what option you want.
Love the videos and looking forward to watching this series of your lives.
Sailing gbu is dead .. $5k boat to $75k campervan and new house and land that we are paying for ..it's a joke
The world is full of choices with sailing vids etc. I choose to follow you because of you both. Follow the dreams and keep the vids coming.
Thanks Paul!! Storms are cranking up so we might be headed back to the boat sooner than we planned to save her
I was kinda disapointed when you guys said you were giving up sailing but maybe this is better, i think i would probably watch anything you guys do. Matt is the mans man and Kristen is a really great wife!
lol A MAN'S MAN??!! It's hard to figure out who's the bigger diva between the two of them! Drama galore!
@@MT_53 hahahahaha and thats what makes them perfect .
I like this stuff, alot of channels do really well building, living this way and recording the journey of renovating or otherwise...
I’m really excited for you both. From one adventure to the next. I think we should reinvent our lives and move onto the next chapter. At almost 60, I can truly look back at many of mine. Life is a journey and we are all on one!
Hi I've watch you for a long time. I'm your patron John Gillispie's Mom . What brave and awesome undertKing ❤❤❤
I started watching for the boat adventures, but I quickly fell in love with you as a couple. So I am in it for the long hall! Sea or land!
I know you have already don this but make sure you put cement blocks behind your rear wheels because of the rain you want to make sure your trailer starts sliding down the mountain! Also put cement under the corner jacks. Maybe your neighbor has a tractor with a brush hog in the back of the tractor that can help with the jungle removal. Best of luck!
hope thats a type-o...would'nt want my trailer to start sliding down a hill lol
AND cover the tiers so they don’t get dry rot !!
Really, really happy for you. You both look very enthusiastic and ready to deal with all the up and downs that an old property in the tropical mountains will bring. Do investigate the bushes though because there are bushes and trees that can give you a really nasty itching and burning rash. Love your stream. That is a major plus for you. If you can arrange a small gas water pump to pump water into a tank near your camper you could do so much. Can wait to see your next video. 👍
I'm glad to hear you say that floating around on a boat made you soft (it;s the same in van life too). Like most sailing youtube channels, they have good times, clink glasses, enjoy wildlife of the ocean and have good times. Which is great for a while. But what do you have after 20 years, good memories? You are doing the right thing. You are building equity every day. You are creating a home. And after 20 years you will have something solid.
Matt. Be careful in burning. Anything poisonous should not be burned and if so make sure you stay up wind. Family member learn the hard way about inhaling poison ivy.
Oh snap for real??
turn it into compost
It's happened to me years ago and ended up in the hospital
Great advice, I learned the hard way!
Good Morning PR….
Use the water to generate power
Kudos Mat for wanting to clear it with hand tools and your machete, I used one for 25 years as a land surveyor. We also used a brush hook for the serious vines and pines here in Florida, swinging one for a couple of hours will give you a serious workout. Keep your blades sharp and be careful, they can bite you pretty hard. Congrats on your new adventure, looking forward to whatever you two have to share with us.
Hola, I am your Puerto Rican neighbor. We are renovating an abandoned coffee farm. I uncovered close to 100 coffee trees. We are above a steep canyon with a river and waterfalls too. Regarding the itching
,you probably got pica pica. It is a vine. We are half way done renovating but we now have chickens, guineas and peacocks.
Boy did your video bring back memories! I started out with 9 acres of heavily wooded jungle in the Carolinas and cleared the land and built a home. A year to build the house. Rule of thumb... figure 2-3x more $$$ and time than you initially think. As for clearing land... look into renting a bulldozer for a day (with an operator), it'll be money well spent and save you tons of time and headaches, compared to doing the clearing manually - especially if you eventually plan build a home foundation. We stayed in our RV during house build. It's amazing how small RV's get after awhile (I think they shrink!). :D One more thing... when it comes to manually clearing land, t-shirts and shorts will give way to long sleeve shirts and long pants.
Great advice! We did the same while building our place. He has so much to learn. I am reading all the comments. We can tell some know what they are talking about but so many have no idea. You have been there, done that!😀
This is going to be cool, you guys are doing what you want to do! The people who have been with you will stay with you. I am one of them!
As some others have mentioned I think building a proper pad for the camper would be very worth while. Those vines are going to grow back in a heart beat. Especially near and under the camper could become a real issue. In building a pad you can locate it further from the house to give you more room for rebuilding and properly level and support the camper. You are going to be in the camper for a long time make it the best you can.
Can I suggest wrapping the bottom of your camper with a tarp To stop any plant growth underneath, i love your journey and have followed you from the beginning. good look guys, x
Oh wow so you are now full time Puerto Ricans i knew it i could see Matt loves our Island 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Bienvenidos a Borinquén and thank you for loving our island
Its impossible not to fall in love with the island and the people! This place is heaven on earth 🌎
❤❤🎉🎉💖🇵🇷🇵🇷🪟💪💯💯⛵⛵⛵⛵
You should really think about getting a JCB diger in and releveling and clearing the land, and useing a tractor and a rotovater. At the same time puting down a liner and gravle to make a proper parking area. Also making a beautiful lawn. This will help you see more clearly what you have and make things much easier for futur building and projects on your property. Good luck the place has so much to offer, it will be your little paradise homestead.
Gosh...I have a farm in Puerto Rico and work and do agricultural research at the University. I see many videos about starting homesteads and in all of them always I say the same, it is not easy to do it in a tropical environment where the vains grow so rapitly. Thanks because finally I see that someone pass through the same as us when working agriculture in PR.
First off, CONGRATULATIONS! I know y'all are all about doing it yourself and figuring it out along the way, but if when you get to construction/building and might want / could use experienced volunteer I'd love to come down and lend a hand. Figure it's the least I can do for y'all keeping me inspired as I work through a more long term plan to live a life similar to what I've watched you live the past years.
The jungle as we call it on the islands can be hard to deal with. The weed eater tool you are using is called a bushcutter. We tame the jungle by cutting the jungle down to the ground put grass down around the house and keep the jungle back
Leveling camper - don’t level via the corner stabilizer stands - jack up the frame near the wheels/suspension. Use chocks against the camper wheels to prevent it moving (don’t rely on corner stands). Find an ugly neighbor teenager/s to help with manual labor 😁
The person delivering the trailer should have taught him this as part of the set up but apparently didn’t!!!
LOL
Born and raised in PR. Enjoyed the Army in '99, and now live in NC. Matt is funny is the real deal. Looking forward meeting you guys.
I have always loved your sailing videos, but it is your lives. Your channel is entertaining no matter what you guys are doing. You guys will always be fun to watch.
You guys have probably already thought of it but just in case. Get some screw anchors and heavy duty ratchet/storm straps to make sure some hurricane doesn't try to turn your trailer into a kite.
Try to keep vegetation or trees on the slope or plant tings you want. It will prevent erosion.
Further more - research which plants are best for stabilizing slopes - like deep roots
I was thinking they should plant some banana trees, papaya trees, elephant ears and other tropical fruits and plants in the dirt along the creek and really give it that tropical paradise vibe.
Learn your trees and vegetation so when you clear the land deposit all that in a pile for composting. Cardboard, pile of green, and a few shovels of manure will start your compost pile, you’ll need lots of soil for your vegetable garden. Rain and slope will wash away your soil fast once you cleared it from vegetation so composting will make up for that loss. Also, whenever you clear land, put some heavy duty landscape fabric, or at least a few layers of cardboard to save yourself constant weeding.Look into hooking up a little hydro generation station, you got a good flow in that stream , enough to produce some juice.About goats, find out if there are any of the poisonous greens that goats can’t eat growing around before you got them. They will also need shelter, fencing and medical care, as will any other animals you get so you might postpone that till you become more familiar with local predators, poisonous vegetation, and animal husbandry. Ask me how I know. Look into permaculture, agroforestry, Bill Mollison, Geoff Lawton. It might save you years of hard work, money and tears. Wish you guys all the best. Looking forward to you videos.
You guys never cease to amaze me. You bumble thru life with half a plan...carrying it off thru hard work and bullheadedness. The rebuild on dead dolphin you did was painfully marvelous...many times I had to say what th' hell are you doing it that way for....you pulled it off thru hard work. It turned out really nice. Now on to the next chapter. I have no doubt that you will succeed here too.
With all the rain you could buy a 1000 gal tank and set up a tarp to catch rain and fill it for off grid water. Direct power would be cheaper than solar and batteries
No poison ivy in my island but be careful of any milky liquid from plants, usually cause skin rashes and short term blindness. For the rash, you can use aloe plant (sabila in spanish). And you can also keep a bucket of soapy water (using baby shampoo) and another with clean water to quickly rinse off when it itches
Cuidado con la "pringamosa"
Vagisil has the most topical lidocaine for pain relief. Don’t ask why I know this. Just trust that it will quickly reduce itching and burning on most skin
y la pica pica
I give you guys a lot of credit. That's a lot to take on. You're going to need some heavier brush hog or similar, I think. There are probably all kinds of poisonous vines. Brazilian pepper plants, etc. Glad to see you're wearing gloves. If you're going to burn the brush, do it where you are not breathing in the smoke. Above all , enjoy the hell out of your first place.
Kristen your hilarious and Matt you have such a kind heart I've said this before. I'm so excited for the both of you. ❤❤
What your doing doesn’t change who you are and that’s why I love watching you guys! Love the love you two have for each other and I’m fully invested in this new journey. Good luck you two!
Suggest you wear long pants while working on the land, be careful with the abayarde ants (little fire ants that live in the trees around coffee plantations)... i use vicks vaporub around the neck, and get a dog for the rats... welcome to Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷 ❤
Switching gears is part of the adventure!
So impressed!! Kristen is blessed to have a huge hunk of a man as her fiance❤ loved watching this glorious new begining! My heart is swelling at this team work and gorgeous paradise you have to call your own! Sending all my happy vibes and love to you both❤❤
Good times, and cool music too. What I like about your show is that you show us the sumthin sumthin and don't try to show us the sumthin sumthin that ain't nuthin. The creek is splendid, looks like it floods regularly. That will be fun to watch.
You two could do a full time bingo channel, I’d still watch it!!! You guys do you. 0:45
Put a tarp over the van roof to prevent it deteriorating so quickly out in the weather.
I agree but it looks super trashy 😂😂
@@Steve-ec6ed The camo pattern tarps don't look that bad. Another idea, would be a free standing carport. That'd give plenty of space to mount solar panels and it would help protect the trailer.
Solar panels will assist with that
Yeah build a roof over
We just LOVE u KIDS! Gosh Matt!! U are IRONMAN!! your vision is coming to a beautiful reality!!!! Stay HEALTHY THE BOTH OF u to realize the finish!! GOD BLESS u KIDS!! u GOT THIS!! Love ya! Chuck & Vita Maria
Ahoy Mighty Matt & "Khristien"!
I'm Truly •excited• for you 2.
When settled & Matty Jr. is at the right age, consider having me come to read him Green Eggs & Ham.
I read it to Michael Jr.'s 1st grade class, with the younglings eyes widening as the frustration mounted (with the constant pestering to TRY THEM, TRY THEM!)
When he's finally worn down & does Try Them, The •JOY• of Delicious Discovery •must• be conveyed.
I'll be watching you 2, & what you do.
Hang in there monfrere, & Chickadoo, with excitement that's True!
🙏🦉
I believe “GrandpaCarlsailinganddiving” is good advice. As a farmer, I can tell you, you will learn more from watching animals than you realize. Goats for sure will provide both milk and meat. Chickens are great bug eaters. Just start small. Like a pair of goats and several chickens. The fence idea is spot on. Good luck you two. Love watching your adventures.
Too cool! Best wishes on the new adventure!
Suggestion- heavy duty weedeater with a grass-gator metal blade head. Ask me how I know...
Cheers from Guam! 🇬🇺
Cheers!!
Sorry I'm so late watching but we just got back from Mobile, AL visiting my lady's family over Labor Day. Y'all are killing it and I can't wait to see what's in store!
9 Months of adventure on land and 3 months sailing is a win-win for me. We get to the best of both worlds. I feel like I am actually living your adventure with you guys. This is great. Keep up the good work. The land is coming on just fine.
We all know that when Uncle Matty saw those mirrors in the Bedroom wall, that was the one.😅
LMAO
🤩🫣🤭💃🏻💃🏻⚡️💥☄️😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
In an RV the water heater and fridge should be able to run off electric or propane. So y’all can switch those to propane to save on the electric
It looks like italready is set up for propane. I would be surprised if it wasn’t
Exactly what I was going to say. Mine runs off both. Also the jacks are not meant to level the camper only there for support.
My back is aching after watching this! Good luck to the two of you.
I have to say, at first, the thought of you not being on the boat was a turnoff. BUT, after watching THIS video!?! I'm hooked!! Just like when you started your boat renos!! I'm looking forward to your next one!! GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!!!
Put a lock on your hitch so no one can come along and steal your R/V while you are away. That happens a lot in Florida and other states. I would also install a strong fence & a locking gate across the front of your property that faces the road with well placed highly visible signs that say "No Trespassing". Good fences make good neighbors. 😊
holy crap , really.... that hitch is right there by the street.
I would tend to get the coach leveled with adjustable jack stands then, remove the wheels. It's not going anywhere. You can buy the solar powered security webcams cheap.... place them where they can be seen.
Most american comment.
Here is an idea,put a tracking device on the RV,if it is stolen 🤔
Hi Guy's, if you don't want to go the way of the Maya civilization, invest in a DZ mower. Think Mangoes, pineapple 🍍, 🥑 as soon as possible. A couple of orange and lime trees for your own consumption. Also a couple of papaya trees ( with lime and sugar it's a treat). If you have a stream and need water pumped, think of a ramp pump you don't need electricity. I remember a ramp pump made in England out of steel that work for months before you needed to change a five dollar part. In Spanish I believe it's called an "Ariete". It was used to pump water to a big tank at an even higher level than the house. Not to say it's fascinating to not use electricity or fuel. Some people have made them out of PVC parts, but they don't last, they can be noisy so an enclosure (brick, cement) is a good idea.
I'm impressed with your hard work and can do spirit. The camper should serve you well. I hope you have a propane hot water heater and refrigerator. It is important that you level the unit for them to work properly.
My best wishes for both of you!
We have been watching you all for over a year. Loved the sailing but love the homesteading even more! We can relate more with the homesteading. The wife and kids and I love your all's personalities. We watch you guys every Sunday after church. All the way from Kansas. We pray for your future and hope its super blessed. Keep the awesome content coming and ignore the people who are throwing a hissy fit. God bless.
That Creek was deceptive in size till Matt was shown!
yes, would be nice to know what country or what mountain they are near!
@@drx1xym154 Puerto Rico
They're in the mountains of Puerto Rico.
Congratulations guys. It’s quite a culture shock and i hope you guys can take up the challenge. Blessings on all your endeavors. You have been quite inspirational as cruisers and I will miss your adventures. I will still keep an eye on your channel.
You guys have this down to a fine science spectacle to include Bear of course you guys are a Big deal for sailing these comments prove that to be so true I wish you two so much luck in the hard as we call it
Save hours and hours of time by cutting the vines then letting them die before trying to pull them out of the trees you're trying to save. Much easier to pull them out when they're not alive
For Sure but it's like a spiderweb pattern of vines so I can't get to them. I'm getting better tho. I got a hook machete that is helping me.
Yea, with just him!
@@SailingGoodBadandUglylets be honest now. You got tired of the boat life when you made a fortune from people wanting to support your dream and see you make it, but you got greedy gave up the $5k and everything we loved about you to and exploited it to live in a $75000 campervan on $400k/$500k peice of land and you want us to pay for your renovation.. i genuinely used to root for you both to be able to live.your dream that u sold up and gave everything up for(having watched you from the beginning) this is truly truly horrible
@stormzypickleton4945 ur way off on all of ur estimates 😅 do me a favor Google how much a 27' 2017 freedom Liberty camper goes for and let me know if we can sell ours for the price u mentioned. Also way off on the land it's nowhere near 400-500k. Also also, I never asked anyone to pay for anything. We provide entertainment (for free weekly) if we profit from ad revenue and our patreon fanbase that's the way it should be. I honestly don't get why u or anyone else would be upset by this.
@@SailingGoodBadandUglyfollow your dreams and we’ll keep watching! Haters gonna hate, you know that Uncle Matty!
I'm with you guys.
Thank you! It means alot
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly -- cool moves, though you are not really stating what hemisphere you are guys are in ... though it does appear to be near the tropics.
@@drx1xym154 You really have no clue where they are? Do you know where you are?
You guys have aTON of work on your hands! GOOD LUCK on your new adventure!😊😍
Cool property and camper, looking forward to your new adventures 🤙🎉🏕️🥃
If that stream is yours you have all the electrical power you need. Build for Hurricaine resistance.
I just love that you guys challenge yourselves…and it’s awesome you guys get to do that together….
You guys are rocking that land purchase… Great to see!❤
where is Bear?
How much land do you guys own? Can you please fly the drone and give us an aerial view of your property boundary.
I second that. The land looks very small, only a few feet from the road before it falls away to a ravine?
Keep doing what makes you happy ill still watch im learning something new all the time
Just so y'all know. I subbed because the transition to land from boat. I look forward to watching the progress. Thanks.
I’m excited to be on this adventure with you. This looks like a beautiful piece of land and it’s nice you have already started meeting neighbors. On the boat you worked hard and endured several hardships and now you look like a ton of weight has been lifted off your shoulders. I predict this will be an infinitely happier and therefore more successful channel and you two look more in love than I’ve ever seen over the time I’ve watched your channel.
⛵️🏚️🏡Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well done guys, so happy for you! XXX 🙂
I wish I could work like he does. I have a bad back, but I still remember the sense of self worth in a job well done. Sometimes I miss that feeling. Good job my man...
Love seeing the unsalted from Michigan. Stay strong and follow your dreams. Love from Michigan
Good to see Ol Uncle Maddy putting his cowboy boots to good use. Good job guys keep up the good work.

Great job,congratulations. Keep it up,you’ll get there.
if little house walls are still solid...convert to a barn
My wife and i have been doing the same thing in Oklahoma in the mountains. Its hard work but its most definitely worth it
I love good ol honest hard work.
Gimme a cup of Coffee and I can sit and watch it all day.
Perfect , I was abit bored with sailing . Best of both worlds on water and on land in the Caribbean . This is DOUBLE ADVENTURE ... You guys are sooo interesting ..
To avoid rodents in your camper, get 100% peppermint oil. Put on cotton balls and distribute throughout the camper and basement compartments. Repeat every month. Otherwise mice etc will come in.
The camper probably come with an auto rodant killing robot for the money WE paid for it
You should look into getting a mini hydro-electric station to put in that stream
We hope you don't totally give up the boat, but this channel has ALWAYS been more about you two. God bless and good luck with the land preparations and as long as you want to post videos we'll keep watching!
