- Hi Here is a very interesting video of the clips that was used from day 1 to present making of the homestead. Anyone who wishes to make a homestead should watch this video so that it can give you a timescale of how to build a homestead. It's just one example of how it can be done as not all homesteads are the same.
Thank you for watching and stay safe.
Great video. We are doing very much the same. The biggest challenge in this initial stage is the lack of natural shade. Most plants (and the bare earth), struggle in the hot direct sunlight when they are young. Thanks for sharing.
Yes it’s a problem I’ve lost some trees and plants due to this. You can use some netting for some shade. Also I use straw for mulching and I have a sprinkler system to water the plants. Thanks for watching 🙏
👍😎
Sure I'll keep in touch, it's rare to find likeminded people in this modern world, if you've not already watched him, there's a chap with a youtube channel by the name of 'Jon Jandai-life is easy" who's very clued up and informative
Yes I’m a subscriber to his channel and he has very good content. Thanks and take care 🙏
Fascinating video. Exactly what my wife and I are doing in Udon. How much did the drilling for the water cost?
Sorry I didn't see the message. It cost me around £1,200 with the drilling and solar pump I think? Please watch my videos on this topic for more information
Hi, where are you in Thailand, I've just started along the same off-grid path in Phetchabun, currently I work in Samut Prakharn, but I plan to move to Phetchabun once everything is in place, for me it's a 3-5 year plan
Hi I’m in Buriam in Thailand 🇹🇭 it’s nice to hear other people going off grid to start a Homestead. I wish you the best off luck. Food shortages are coming so plant some rice if you can. We are busy with planting rice atm. 🙏
@@bornfreeprepperthailand Hi, thanks for your reply, thailand is the perfect place for living off-grid, I tried 17 years ago with a family in Surin, but they were not that interested in working as they had a farang now LOL, hopefully this time my venture will be a success, my wife's family are all hard workers, my wife works her ass off growing vegetables, trees etc, she has the same vision and plans as me, good luck with your life, I wish you every success, take care, Chris
Thanks you Chris it’s hard to change your mindset when you are young just like me my wife and I liked living in the city. But now wiser and older I what to live in the country side. People think that farmers are low class but since I started to make the Homestead people think that we are rich? 🤣 it’s good to start by planting fruit trees and hard wood trees for the future you and your wife are doing the right thing. Use your paper money and start small projects like digging a pond, solar water pump bore well is a must. 🙏
@@bornfreeprepperthailand Thanks for the idea's, I'm a country boy at heart, never liked city life, the land I paid for has a teak tree plantation on it (approx. 600 trees, planted around 10 years ago), we are using some of the trees to build our home, it also has 2 ponds with fish, frogs and snails in them, there is also approx. 4 rai of eucalyptus trees, so we've got a pretty good start, our plan is probably the same as yours, to be totally self sufficient, using solar-cell power, I'm also looking at wood gasifiers as I'll have a lot of fuel on the land, along with bio-digester gas production, keep up the good work, your homestead looks awesome
Wow that’s is really good land what you have got. The trees are a good investment I wish I had a teak Forest. I really would like to build a traditional teak house but the wood is really expensive. However you seem to have an awesome place and using different fuels and learning about them is good. I hope you keep in touch and let us know how or what you are doing on your Homestead in the future. Nice 👍🏻 🙏
Super cool. Wondering how much you have to invest to establish a homestead like this.
Depends on what you want to build really? Some people build lots of houses but we just want a simple lifestyle and I don’t want to end up cleaning a mansion 🤣 some people build earth-ship houses for free. The most important is to invest in good land.
I’ve invested around £12,000 now and to complete the house I think it will cost another £10,000 maybe? However the land was my wife’s so just the setup cost without the house can be done for £10,000. You could build an Earth ship house for less or make bamboo houses. So for a price of a small car that’s not bad and a good investment on a Homestead in Thailand 🙏
We are in Buriram Thailand 🇹🇭 so it depends on where you want to be really? If you got a Thai wife or husband you can buy 1 rai of land for about £3 - £4,000. Just to let you know. Thanks for watching 🙏
Hello great set up
How much was the pond and solar ?
Thanks 🙏🏻
@FarangbanNok420 I have a new solar system for the whole homestead now so please feel free to watch thoses newer videos. Thanks 🙏
Do you have any cedar trees to build a log house in Thailand??
I'm afraid not. Teak wood to build houses here are very expensive. You can get kit houses however already made. Depending on your budget. Thank you for your comment 🙏
Cedar? lmao
Do you fertilize? If so, with what? The land doesn't look fertile yet the plants grow fine.
Yes we use chicken poop fertiliser for the fruit trees. Also the rice fields are full of natural fish that helps to fertilise the lands. You can see this on my rice planting videos. Thanks for watching nature’s a wonderful thing 🙏
