Hey everybody, well as you can see there's been a lot of changes.
Asa's all grown up now. And we sold the RV,
we sold our house and this is our next great adventure.
So, stick with me I'm going to show you what we're up to.
Somebodies ready for his walk. Are you serious bro?
Serious? Let's go for a walk.
So I want to welcome everybody to, Raspberry Fields.
And we decided to call it Raspberry Fields 'cause, you can't really see it right now but
this is all raspberries. This is all raspberries.
That's raspberries. So what we ended up purchasing
was 79 acres in Northern Ontario.
And, it is a secondary growth forest. It was logged, I think 25 years ago.
And our intent here is to set up a homestead, Get some goats, some chickens,
maybe another Maremma For Asa. Maybe the guy needs a wife.
Let's go for a walk and see what's happening. Let's go.

Does he have something? Should I go check?
What do you got Pud Pud? Asa
What do you got? Oh. Get out of there.
It's deer scat. (music)
Thank you for coming back Asa. (music)
So most days, we now instead of taking Asa on hikes,
good show Asa. Instead of taking Asa on hikes
we just take him through here, once or twice a day.
He seems pretty happy about it. (music)
So some of you all might be wondering, how the heck did we end up from RV travel
to living in the woods in Northern Ontario. And, it was kind of a lot to do with Covid,
and not actually being able to get to travel on our timeline.
And then realizing this summer that all the places we wanted to travel to were burning down
anyways. And they were all 40 degrees. And we were like, maybe, you know,
this isn't the dream for right now. And, I love being in the woods. I
find it very healing, so we ended up, start looking for a place.
We found this place pretty much right away and we moved in within,
sold our house and moved in within three weeks. So I was very very stressed.
And then we moved in, we didn't have a septic. Our well pump only ran on the generator.
So we only had water very intermittently. What else did we have going on here?
Oh my gosh, we had no propane. That was the solar panel that we had.
that right there. That's our little solar panel that ran
one light bulb for 45 minutes every evening. And then the sun would go down and we would
have to go to bed at like 8 o'clock, because all of our rechargeables would start dying.
So now, take you over here.
Now we have eight solar panels. And, I'm eventually going to get
I'm eventually going to get James to do a video on what the whole solar set-up is and
what it's all about, and what it can do. We have internet. Like normal people.
It's very slow but, it's internet. This used to be the forest.
So what we're planning to do with this is we're going to be fencing all of this in
and putting a barn facing south. And we're gonna have some goats,
we're gonna have some chickens, we're gonna have let's see here now, rabbits.
Rabbits are the first thing we're going to be getting here.
And eventually we're going to be working up to getting bees here on the homestead as well.
So, it's been quite an adventure clearing out all of this.
And I'll share some of that with you guys at a later date.
So welcome to Raspberry Fields.
I hope you guys join us here for the big, crazy, amazing homestead,
Northern life, off-grid kind of thing that we're doing here. It's going to be super awesome.
So, you're definitely going to want to hit that subscribe button, hit the bell
because you're going to see us taking this place from a little Northern hunt camp on 80 acres
to a fully functioning off-grid homestead. (music)
