Short filmTranscript
00:00Three families have gone back in time and swapped their 21st century lives for an
00:121880s homestead. Lot number three. 625. 655. Fierce competition at the auction saw the hall's
00:22savings hit. Oh nine dollars. Ten dollars. Sold. We just wanted to dry them all the way up there.
00:30Frontier fathering. This is not what I'm used to. I don't need attitude. I don't need moping.
00:36Proved tough. To be honest with you, they're no help. They are not you and they don't have to be you.
00:42And under pressure. Lucas do not throw rocks. Everything would be so much easier if we had
00:48more help. The Hannah Riggs sent for reinforcements. We've invited my sister Alicia and Mackenzie
00:54to come join us. I hope they're going to accept our invitation. I guess we'll see.
01:00Stop.
01:14It's been two weeks now since the families fell out, but tensions are still running high.
01:37Things got a little heated at the auction with the lopers.
01:40What they did was just wrong.
01:42Like, they said that they just wanted to run our money up.
01:46Where's the community in that?
01:49We don't really want to deal with them, you know?
01:52Let them do their thing and we'll do our thing.
01:55Seems Jeremy's forgotten that before the experiment ends, the families will need to vouch for each other.
02:03I do think there are some neighbors that will vouch for us.
02:06I definitely feel like we have some that won't.
02:09And I'm the same way, though.
02:10I will speak up for one set of my neighbors.
02:13The other ones, I plead the fifth.
02:22And friends aren't the only thing the halls are short of.
02:27Are we broke?
02:28Yeah, basically.
02:29Groceries alone will cost the families $1.75 a week for the rest of their time on the frontier.
02:42We're a little bit behind money-wise.
02:45We did spend a lot of money at the auction for our livestock, so that was a big punch in the gut.
02:52They'll also need $6 at the end to buy their land certificate, the final step in what was known as proving up.
03:01I put the $6 aside for the certificate.
03:05I've been saving that forever, so I want to keep it there.
03:09However, we do need to have the money for our weekly supply.
03:13So, basically, our land certificate money will be in jeopardy if I can't make this up.
03:20If we don't get that, all of this was for nothing.
03:24I like to say, like, ah, we're not worried about the money.
03:27But in reality, we have to worry.
03:29There's not a lot of ways to make money out here.
03:30I bet the Lopers are feeling real bad about how that auction went down.
03:44I'm happy with what we are with our budget.
03:45We saved so much money at the auction.
03:47That auction was a blessing.
03:49We could not have played it any better.
03:50Any better, exactly.
03:52Okay, maybe not.
03:54At this point, we're kind of above our budget.
03:57Yeah, we're ahead of the game.
03:58That's cool.
03:59I'm happy.
04:00Yeah.
04:08So, the Lopers are sitting pretty.
04:12The Hannah Riggs, not so much.
04:15Ew, what is that?
04:17These are your clothes that I have been doing laundry, my son.
04:21So, every set of hands, like, makes a significant impact on what we do on a daily basis.
04:26And being a smaller family, like, those hands are limited.
04:29Oh, my.
04:31I'm still struggling a lot.
04:32Like, I have good days, and then there's days that are just hell.
04:35Would you like to come help me?
04:37No.
04:37One, two, three, four layers of blankets.
04:41We've invited Alicia and Mackenzie to come join us.
04:47It would be really, really helpful to have some other hands to make the work lighter for everybody.
04:51To find out what the frontier has in store next, the families consult their go-to guide.
05:00Let's see what's in the almanac today.
05:03Greetings.
05:04Greetings.
05:05Congratulations on plowing and planting your land, a key milestone that all homesteaders had to pass in order to prove up.
05:10You're welcome.
05:11Thank you, husband.
05:11You've still got plenty to do, but you are on the right track.
05:17Good job.
05:18Yes.
05:19Homesteaders cherished the gap between finishing the planting and the intense work of harvesting the crops.
05:27Some homesteaders used the time to catch up, doubling down their efforts to prepare for the long winter.
05:34While others chose to slow down just a little and enjoy life together as a family.
05:37Who wants to double down?
05:39Who wants to slow down?
05:41You.
05:41Woo, honey!
05:43However you decide to spend your time, in a few days the general store will be open to receive some homemade goods.
05:49Oh.
05:51The homesteaders can make money by selling goods to the general store.
05:56At Mr. Gilbert's discretion, of course.
06:00This is very good news because we need to make some of that money back.
06:04I'm excited.
06:04I'm excited.
06:05Yeah, we've got to figure stuff that we can make.
06:07We can make apple cider.
06:09Yeah, that sounds good.
06:10All right.
06:11Let's do it.
06:13We plan on making a lot of stuff so we can sell it to the store.
06:17And if we're able to get out of this, then we'll feel a big relief.
06:23With cash to spare, the lopers are feeling more laid back.
06:28We do want some downtime, right?
06:31I think we deserve some downtime.
06:33We can just relax and you guys can just go play, you know.
06:36Who'd ever thought on the frontier, we'd have some work-life balance.
06:40Man, but to have that, that's a plus for the family.
06:45The hard-up halls are hoping to turn garden crops into cash.
06:50We realize that we need to make money, and we have very limited resources out here.
06:56One thing we do have is food.
06:58We have lots of time and ambition.
07:00Everybody, get ready to work.
07:05It's cider time.
07:07With their frontier future on the line, the halls are hitting pause on winter pantry prep
07:14to focus on boosting the family finances.
07:18Should we cut them into fourths?
07:20Yeah.
07:22In the 1880s, enterprising frontier folk would often sell goods they'd made,
07:29acting as bakeries, creameries, and breweries.
07:35Winding and grinding, winding and grinding.
07:37Stop eating the produce.
07:40Zoe's eating the product, Mom.
07:42Zoe?
07:43Well, we got a bucket of apples.
07:45He's basically eating our money right in front of us.
07:50I thought you were quartering them.
07:52He's going so fast, I can't keep up.
07:57At home, we have multiple businesses that we run,
08:00so I come into this 1880s world, and I can't shut that off.
08:04The gender roles, I feel like, put me in a box,
08:07and I don't want to be in that box.
08:09I still want to be a businesswoman like I am back home,
08:12so it's like, okay, I'm doing this.
08:15Don't drop it.
08:16It's precious.
08:18Wow.
08:18I know, that looks good.
08:21Wow.
08:21Here it comes.
08:23Look at that juice.
08:24Hey, juice!
08:26It's worth the wait in cider gold.
08:28I want to be looked at around here as the businesswoman, right?
08:35The factory is now open.
08:37We're ready for business.
08:39We're ready to go.
08:41And everybody's going to know it very soon.
08:47It's so pretty out here.
08:48It is gorgeous.
08:50Hold up.
08:52Looks like there's some new folks in town.
08:54I can't believe we're here.
08:55Look at this.
08:56Joe's sister, Alicia, and her 13-year-old daughter, Mackenzie.
09:02We've got this letter from Joe,
09:04and he says that they're having a fantastic time here on the frontier,
09:09and yet, knowing them, they probably need some help.
09:15We're only here for a couple weeks,
09:17but we'll do our best to help them as much as we can while we're here.
09:20Wow.
09:21Look at that place.
09:23I'm excited.
09:24I'm a little nervous because, like, I mean,
09:29who wouldn't be nervous about leaving everything that you have
09:31and just coming here?
09:33Hi.
09:34There they are.
09:34Oh, my God.
09:35Oh, my God.
09:37Look at y'all.
09:38Look at you.
09:39Hi, Mackenzie.
09:40How are you?
09:41Oh, my God.
09:43Hi.
09:43Hi.
09:44How are you?
09:46How are you?
09:47How are you?
09:48I love your beers.
09:49It looks awesome.
09:50So it's coming in.
09:50It's coming in.
09:51We got your letter.
09:52I'm so glad.
09:53We are so happy here.
09:55I wasn't sure if you were going to call.
09:56I know.
09:57Well, we read between the lines.
09:59We thought you might want us to come.
10:02Let's get your bags inside and give you all a tour.
10:04Yeah, I would love it.
10:05I love having my sister here in Mackenzie.
10:09Like, they are fantastic.
10:10She's such a hard worker, so she's going to be amazing.
10:13Wow.
10:13Welcome to our home.
10:15Oh, my gosh.
10:17Wow, this is really awesome.
10:18This is so nice.
10:20Wait.
10:20Your letter mentioned something about central heating
10:23and multi-stories.
10:25We do have central heating.
10:26It's right over here, this big black stove.
10:29And then, of course, multi-story.
10:31We've got storage here.
10:33And our central heating.
10:34This is actually really cool.
10:35It's very different.
10:37How would you make pancakes on there?
10:39So what have you guys been eating?
10:41We've been eating soup, soup, more soup, soup.
10:46Soup is the simplest one-pot meal,
10:48and that's kind of our go-to.
10:50Do you have oil?
10:50We do not have oil.
10:51We have lard.
10:53It's gross.
10:54What is this?
10:55That is where we do the washing.
10:58I thought that was your bath water.
10:59So what we'll do for our baths,
11:01we'll heat water on the stove,
11:02and then we stand in this pan
11:04and pour the water over our heads,
11:06and that's how we do showers.
11:07We will not be washing our hair, I don't think.
11:11The water situation is very limited.
11:13If you want hot water, you've got to boil it.
11:15And once you're out, you're out.
11:17So that will be an interesting struggle for them.
11:21Oh, there it is.
11:24Oh, no.
11:25That's your private restroom.
11:27I don't know what to think of that.
11:29I do.
11:29I don't like.
11:32I mean, there's no texting on the toilet here,
11:35so if you didn't do your business,
11:36do your business and get it done.
11:37In and out.
11:38In and out.
11:38In and out.
11:39I think they need more time to process
11:41what they're looking at
11:43and realize that this is really it.
11:45This is all we have.
11:46It'll definitely be a shock to their system
11:48as it was to ours as well.
11:51I think that letter made it sound amazing,
11:54and the reality of it is much, much more difficult.
11:58I think there are going to be some challenges.
12:01All right.
12:01Let's go.
12:02That's enough.
12:03It's going to be harder than we think.
12:08Look on the bright side, Alicia.
12:11At least you don't work for Lena,
12:13who's running a tight ship.
12:15There's onion.
12:16I can't see.
12:17But you can cry later.
12:19We need this stuff made.
12:20Oh, what the heck?
12:22You're so heartless.
12:25It's okay.
12:26Don't cry.
12:27We're very busy today.
12:29All hands on deck,
12:31and I'm keeping my eye on everybody.
12:33We have cider making,
12:36label making,
12:38pickling making,
12:40and I hope butter making,
12:42but I don't know.
12:43This isn't working.
12:46This is like,
12:47I've been here, what,
12:48maybe 15 minutes,
12:50and it's the same.
12:53There's just bubbles.
12:54I need to make this work.
12:58I can't be the one that fails.
13:00I should have made your dad do this.
13:03I got to move fast,
13:05or else mom's going to kick me out.
13:07No.
13:08I don't want to get kicked out of the family.
13:11Hey, hey, hey.
13:12Look what I got.
13:13Yay.
13:13Good job.
13:14More apples.
13:15Those look nice.
13:17That's nice.
13:17That means more cider.
13:19Yeah.
13:20This doesn't do anything.
13:22Yeah, you got to do it quicker,
13:23faster, harder.
13:25Jet!
13:26Come here, little buddy.
13:28I got the coolest thing for you to try.
13:30You're going to love it.
13:31What is it?
13:32We're making butter.
13:33Mom wants you to give it a shot.
13:35Like this, you have to up and down.
13:36You got to be really fast.
13:37You got to spin it.
13:38Show them how you spin it.
13:39You know what the almanac said?
13:41What?
13:41It said you had to sing.
13:42Churn, butter, churn, I want to eat cookies tonight.
13:49Churn, butter, churn, churn, butter, churn, I want to eat some cookies tonight.
14:05Good job, Jet.
14:06I need some help dumping these apples into the grinder.
14:09I'll help you.
14:10Jet took over my job.
14:11Good job, Jet.
14:12You learned some cookies tonight.
14:14Yay!
14:15But hey, I have my eye on you.
14:17No slacking.
14:20Okay, guys.
14:21Now we got to do like a raw version.
14:23Okay, ready?
14:23Let's do it.
14:24Five, six, seven, eight.
14:25Churn, butter, churn.
14:27Churn, butter, churn.
14:28I want cookies now.
14:38So we're going to make apple pie today.
14:40This is about to be interesting,
14:42but I think we can pull it off.
14:43Mm-hmm.
14:44Normally, my apple pie comes out of a freezer.
14:47We don't make it.
14:48We don't make it.
14:49We don't have to deal with it.
14:51Whoa.
14:52Do you have your bowl you're going to use to put it in?
14:54Yes, ma'am.
14:54You're sweeping when we're done.
14:59Out on the frontier, neighborly bonds made for happy homesteaders.
15:06But right now, two families are giving each other the cold shoulder.
15:10The tension with the halls is pretty bad.
15:14Like, there has been no communication since the auction, so we feel like we're all alone
15:20in this thing.
15:21What I miss about the community back home that I don't have here is just the opportunity
15:27to see my neighbor, just a simple, hey, good to see you.
15:33I miss that.
15:36And so we have to get in here and get our hands dirty.
15:38It feels like dough.
15:39Yes, exactly.
15:41And that's why we're going to put it on here, and we're going to roll it out.
15:44It feels so good.
15:45Hold up.
15:46I like it.
15:46It does, doesn't it?
15:48Give me this.
15:49Maddox is truly my baby.
15:53He's the one that really brightens your day.
15:58I do like baking with you, mama.
16:00I am having fun.
16:01I know you are.
16:04Ooh.
16:05You got a dough face now.
16:09He's helped make it fun and not boring and feeling like I'm just so alone.
16:16Oh, look at that.
16:19Hey, you think it's ready?
16:20It smells good.
16:21Oh, yeah.
16:22I think that's ready, Maddox.
16:25Look.
16:26There we go.
16:28Maddox, Dad and Landon are going to be so surprised that we made that.
16:35Man, like, where is Stacey Loper, 21st century, and what have you done with her?
16:41That's what I'm thinking.
16:42I just made an apple pie from scratch that wasn't pre-made.
16:47Please, come on now.
16:48I'm doing this.
16:50I'm doing this.
16:51I'm doing this.
17:01There are new skills on show at the Hannah Riggs place, too.
17:07Quit nibbling at my shoe.
17:10Here we go.
17:11Guys, we just fed you.
17:19I'm very proud of y'all.
17:21Y'all did great.
17:23The moves have definitely changed since they've gotten here because, like, usually they're a
17:27little more into their screens, a lot into their screens.
17:30And all of a sudden they're saying, this is more fun than playing computer games, which
17:33is insane to me.
17:34To welcome their new arrivals, Joe and Jason are doing some frontier party planning.
17:41So for the social event that we're hosting, what do we want to do?
17:46Do we want to do cookies?
17:48Everybody gets one cookie.
17:50That sounds like a boring party.
17:53We're having a social event at our cabin.
17:55It's going to be such a great way to introduce Alicia McKenzie to the other families and show
18:00what being social and what being a community is all about.
18:03Or do we just do muffins?
18:06If you were at home, you would not have a cookie or a muffin party.
18:10We would not.
18:12If we were at home, you would have some alcohol.
18:16A margarita machine.
18:18We don't have the same budget that we do at home, so...
18:20We need some money.
18:22So since we have a lot of extra tomatoes from the garden, maybe we can make some extra ketchup
18:25and we can sell that at the general store.
18:28That sounds like a good plan to me.
18:29Well, if you're working on catsup, then I might as well start on preserves for the pantry.
18:34Because I might as well do two things at once.
18:36Good teamwork.
18:37I love it.
18:38It's just amazing to have them here because it changes up our dynamics.
18:42It kind of gives us a whole new breath of life.
18:45And so, yeah, it's awesome to have them here.
18:47So let's make some money.
18:48I want to put a little rope swing on the front porch.
19:03We can just come in from a hard day's work and be a little relaxed part.
19:05If we were back in the 21st century, I would have my power tools, I would have my power drill,
19:11and I'd have this done in about 30 seconds, all four holes.
19:15But using the 1880s tools reminds me of just growing up with my grandparents.
19:21Watching my grandfather use these same tools, it's kind of gratifying.
19:25For homestead housewives, a relaxed day was still a laundry day.
19:37Is that my shirt?
19:38Yes, baby.
19:39Did you get them little syrup stains out of it?
19:41Joaquin.
19:41Hmm?
19:42You do know there's not stain remover, right?
19:45I'm using a bar of soap.
19:48Okay?
19:48You know what they called in the 1880s?
19:50What?
19:50Elbow grease.
19:52Okay.
19:53I'm trying to make it.
19:54Joaquin.
19:54That is not funny.
19:57I appreciate you.
19:58Whatever.
20:03Joaquin with this elbow grease, I almost threw this shirt at him.
20:09Elbow grease.
20:10I'm doing the best I can.
20:20Mommy, I think it's good.
20:22Look.
20:24I think there's butter in there.
20:27Yeah.
20:28I want to see.
20:29There's butter.
20:30What do you mean?
20:31Look.
20:31There's butter.
20:32Oh, my goodness.
20:33There's like yellow butter.
20:35Oh, that's so cool.
20:36Wait, that's actually so crazy.
20:38Here comes a butter splash.
20:40That's awesome.
20:41Look, guys.
20:41Butter.
20:42Butter.
20:42Butter, baby.
20:43Woo!
20:44That's crazy.
20:45We made butter.
20:46Can you believe that?
20:48That was a lot to do.
20:51And it was also a little precious thing that Jet created.
20:54So, yeah.
20:55I don't want to sell it.
20:57But if we have to, I will.
20:59Well, it's a success.
21:01I honestly didn't think it was going to be successful.
21:03Well, my man's got it.
21:05My man Jet is the new butter king.
21:09I feel good to be helping in the haul factory.
21:13I'm proud to be able to make some delicious butter that we can sell.
21:17As night falls on the frontier, old-timers Jason and Joe have some advice for newcomer Alicia.
21:28So, go to the restroom before bed.
21:31And if you do have to go at night, there's bears and cougars.
21:35But we've got lanterns.
21:36I'll wake you up.
21:37You can wake us up.
21:40That's fine.
21:41We're so happy you're here.
21:43Thank you so much for journeying here.
21:45Journeying to the 1880s.
21:47So, fun.
21:50At the haul cabin, it's shaping up to be a long night.
21:55I guess if we have to do a million pickles, we'll do a million pickles.
21:58Yeah, let's go.
21:59Let's go.
21:59No rest until it's complete.
22:10It's first light.
22:12Good morning.
22:12How did you sleep, sweets?
22:14Alicia and Mackenzie are acclimatizing to the sights and sounds of the 1880s.
22:20How was it waking up the first morning on the frontier?
22:23I slept pretty good, except for sometimes when you hear someone peeing.
22:28Yeah.
22:28We got woken up by some coughing and some chamber pots.
22:31It is a little bit odd, no doubt.
22:35Is breakfast ready?
22:36Is breakfast ready?
22:37We've got to start the fire first.
22:39The halls are way past breakfast, already digging into another day of work.
22:49Everyone's been working really hard, and it's been nonstop pickling.
22:53We've been pickling, like, at 11 o'clock at night.
22:56There's just been no sleep.
22:57What have we gotten ourselves into?
23:00I've put my kids in this position.
23:02But I just want to keep working hard just to recover the money.
23:07We are up to three bottles of cider, and we are working on a few more bottles here, hopefully.
23:14That's a lot of apples.
23:15Mm-hmm.
23:17It's the best of the best.
23:19Who let the horses in the house?
23:21Guys?
23:24What are you guys, wrestling in there?
23:26You're dancing?
23:27Yeah.
23:28I want to eat some cookies tonight.
23:30Oh, yeah.
23:34All right.
23:35Now crank it up.
23:36Squeeze some money out of this.
23:43There it is.
23:44Sound of money.
23:47Don't you love it?
23:48Who would have thought it would sound so good?
23:50I know.
23:51I'm kind of nervous, because there is no guarantee that we're going to sell everything.
23:55There is no guarantee that we're going to make anywhere near what we need.
24:03Whilst the halls are busting a gut, the lopers are enjoying a lazy day.
24:11Living the life of a homesteader on the frontier, if I do not take the time to just enjoy the flowers,
24:18smell the roses, the time to just pass me by, and all I have to show for it is work.
24:23Here is a nice fat one.
24:24Alicia and Mackenzie have decided the Hannah Riggs could use some help with their pantry.
24:41One of the family's goals on the frontier is to fill their winter store.
24:53Just like the original homesteaders who would preserve food to survive the long winter months.
25:01They've got a lot of work to do.
25:04They have this shelf done, and we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 empty shelves.
25:14They've definitely got a lot more shelves to fill.
25:16Well, that's what we're here for.
25:18We have some cucumbers to make some pickles, and we have lots and lots of cabbage.
25:25Let's go.
25:27Let's start pickling.
25:29Let's get pickling.
25:33It's so fun to see Alicia jump in, and I knew that that's her approach.
25:38She wants to be helpful, and she wants to contribute while she's here.
25:41So we've got so many cabbages, we've got to figure out what to do with them.
25:47And we gave two to the goats yesterday, and that made them.
25:49We can't give it to them anymore.
25:51Let's just say that.
25:51They can only have limited quantities of cabbages.
25:54Why, Mackenzie?
25:55They get gassy.
25:56They get really gassy, so.
25:59I think we'll just make sauerkraut.
26:00It's important that your vegetables stay submerged below the brine.
26:03Any food exposed to air will quickly mold and ruin the whole ferment.
26:07Good to know.
26:08So we've got six cups of vinegar.
26:10Now you've got six cups of water, because we're doubling it.
26:14And then we'll do four tablespoons salt and four tablespoons sugar.
26:19Not gonna lie, I don't like pickles.
26:21So I don't know how I'd live in the 1800s winter.
26:24You know what?
26:25I can't imagine this place covered in 20 feet of snow, or however much snow it gets,
26:30trying to stay warm and to stay fed.
26:33I think we'd eat whatever we could get our hands on.
26:36I wouldn't eat the pickles.
26:37Do you smell that?
26:44I smell a challenge.
26:46The Great Potato Hunt.
26:49Most potatoes win the prize.
26:51What should the teams be?
26:52I'll be with you.
26:53Hey!
26:55See ya!
26:56We don't want to be here!
26:56Turning everyday chores into family fun.
27:02Good thinking, boys.
27:03Found one!
27:06It doesn't matter if it's a needy-beady one.
27:08Oh, look at this precious jewel of a potato.
27:12That's a really big one.
27:12Holy cow!
27:14Do I sense any jealousy on the Lucas Daddy Joe team?
27:17No jealousy is needed because you know you're gonna lose.
27:20I got the smallest potato!
27:22The smallest one gets you nothing!
27:24This is better than a video game?
27:25This is not my style of video games.
27:27Oh, look at this big baby.
27:30Woo!
27:31Ethan, here, catch.
27:32Add it to our potato pile.
27:34I'm happier to have more interaction with my dads
27:37because normally they're like,
27:39oh, let's just check the weather.
27:40Oh, let's just do a couple text messages.
27:43Oh, let's check Instagram.
27:45Oh, let's just do this and this and this.
27:47Daddy Jason's found a humongous one.
27:49I know.
27:49I think we need to go over here by Daddy Jason.
27:51Go over there.
27:52You too!
27:54It's definitely been a great thing for the boys
27:57not to be so attached to the devices.
28:00Actually, we all needed a break from devices.
28:03So it's a win-win for them and it's a win-win for us.
28:06Five, four, three, two, one.
28:12Gazzurator!
28:13Last second.
28:14All right.
28:16All right.
28:18Okay, let's see.
28:20Balance it on there.
28:21Ten and a half pounds.
28:23All right.
28:24Good luck.
28:27Nine pounds.
28:29Wow.
28:30We are potato champions.
28:32And do you know what?
28:32We all won because look at all the potatoes.
28:36That's a lot of meals.
28:38I love that they're so heavy,
28:40you both have to carry them.
28:41Who knew potato hunting could be so fun?
28:49I love this.
28:55This is a place you come in just to think.
28:58Catch some fish.
28:59Have some fun.
29:00Hoping to reel in dinner and enjoy some father and son time are Landon and Joaquin.
29:08Hey.
29:10You doing a good boy?
29:12Good catch, man.
29:14How are you adapting to things on the frontier?
29:17Still adapting, but, you know, I think I've done pretty well.
29:21I think you have as well.
29:22Despite how you feel sometimes, I always want you to be able to talk to me.
29:25And one thing I'm learning out here is to just hear you out and not give you a lecture.
29:30Yes, sir.
29:31So let me ask you this.
29:33What would you like to see more from me as a father?
29:37Uh, a little less tough love.
29:42Well, how about you like my tough love?
29:45You know, sometimes it's all right.
29:46Sometimes it is.
29:47Just, like, not all the time.
29:49It can be a little much, huh?
29:51Yes, yeah.
29:51I think one reason I am kind of a micromanager is because I didn't have that at your age.
30:00I had to figure out everything on my own because I didn't have that man I could just go to in my dad.
30:06But then I'll tell you what.
30:07Being out here with this experience has shown me that you are way more mature than I probably give you credit for sometime.
30:15And I will give you more room to show that.
30:17That would feel amazing to not be so micromanaged and have a little bit more freedom.
30:22Okay, I can do that.
30:24I'm trying to do more listening now with Landy.
30:28I think the hardest part of connecting with him is accepting that he's growing up.
30:33And, you know, this is my first baby boy.
30:36I want to be the father that he comes to and knows he can get help and not judgment.
30:43You ain't had no bite?
30:44No bite.
30:45No bites.
30:471880s fishing hard.
30:48For sure.
30:49So let me ask you this.
30:51When we get back home, you like spending time one-on-one?
30:55Yes, sir.
30:57Okay.
30:57And you got to tell me what you want to do sometime.
30:59I can surprise you.
31:00All right.
31:01I'll let you take lead.
31:03Okay?
31:03You want me to let me drive?
31:04No, I said, I'll let you take lead on the activity and I will drive us there.
31:08How about that?
31:09Okay, I'll take that.
31:10I'll take that.
31:10I'll take that.
31:11I'll take that.
31:13For me, talking to my dad is a very new and interesting thing.
31:16To see him really put in the effort to actually listen to me and my thoughts felt like a weight
31:21lifted off my shoulders.
31:22And I really hope that he does, you know, let me spread my wings and fly.
31:27Let's get out of here.
31:28Yes, sir.
31:29Give me some.
31:30Love you.
31:31Love you, too.
31:32I learned years ago that you don't go fishing just to catch fish.
31:35The conversation that we had a chance to have as father and son was much more than just fishing.
31:40So it was amazing.
31:42As you can see, we ain't caught nothing.
31:43Mm-hmm.
31:44But I really enjoyed my healthy day.
31:45Me, too.
31:54This is our gym workout.
31:56I mean, hauling water.
31:58This is our 1880s workout.
32:02This has taken us all day long, it seems like.
32:06I'm tired of chopping and cooking.
32:09But we did it.
32:11These are the finished products.
32:12And I'm excited to surprise Joe and Jason.
32:16Oh, my.
32:17Voila.
32:18And that is awesome.
32:21Some jarring has been happening.
32:22Y'all have been busy.
32:24We did onions.
32:25Lots of pickles.
32:26Very colorful.
32:28Carrots.
32:29Radishes.
32:30White onions.
32:32Pickles.
32:32Pickles.
32:33That's super cool.
32:34Very cool.
32:35What a busy day.
32:36Very productive.
32:36Holy cow.
32:38Mackenzie and Alicia being here and having the extra hands,
32:41like, is a game-changer for us.
32:43Powering through and getting so many jars done
32:46and getting our pantry boosted,
32:48that's amazingly helpful.
32:50We feel like our pantry's coming together.
32:52Today, the general store will be open to buy goods.
33:11Our brand is called Outlaw Bandits, and we just like to make it fun and make it different,
33:31and hopefully everybody will buy it.
33:32We're making the 1880s cool again.
33:35Yeah.
33:35We got ourselves in a pickle, but sometimes it's just, like, tough,
33:40and you have to get creative and do something about it.
33:44That looks good, girl.
33:46We did good.
33:48I love it.
33:49First at the store and trying to earn some pennies to fund their frontier party
33:56are the Hannah Riggs.
33:58Mr. Gilbert.
34:00Hello.
34:01Welcome back.
34:02Hello, Mr. Gilbert.
34:04How are you, sir?
34:05Pretty good.
34:06We are here with some goods to sell to you, sir.
34:08Great.
34:10We have cabbages.
34:11Yes.
34:11Eight cabbages.
34:12These cabbages, they're beautiful, but usually homesteaders would grow their own cabbages,
34:19so I don't have any, I just don't have any demand for cabbages.
34:24Okay.
34:26We also, Jason, let's see.
34:28This is a small batch of ketchup, and we have 16 of these.
34:34I would love to taste it, if I may.
34:36Okay.
34:37So here we go.
34:42That's good.
34:49I could offer you five cents.
34:50All right.
34:51Thank you, Mr. Gilbert.
34:53So good.
34:54Daddy Jason, his ketchup recipe.
34:57It's Alicia.
34:57So for 16 jars, that'll come to 80 cents.
35:00All right.
35:01So should we do two bottles of wine?
35:04Okay.
35:05That sounds great.
35:06For everything you brought in, in exchange for the wine, that brings us to an even split.
35:12All right.
35:15Thank you so much, Mr. Gilbert.
35:16My pleasure.
35:17Really appreciate it.
35:17It was good to see you.
35:19All right.
35:20See you later.
35:22That's sad.
35:23Our cabbages didn't get sold.
35:24I know.
35:30Almost there.
35:32This is a real workout.
35:33I know.
35:35Can you believe how much stuff we brought?
35:38Oh, Mr. Gilbert.
35:39Oh, my goodness.
35:41The halls are back.
35:43Come on in.
35:43Show me what you got.
35:45We brought you a lot of stuff.
35:46Can I help you, sir?
35:47Yes, please.
35:49To be back in the black, the halls need to bank over $2.95.
35:55I'm a little nervous going to the store because we have so many products.
35:59I'm afraid that he's going to turn some down and we're not going to make as much money as
36:03we would like to.
36:05So we have this killer cabbage here.
36:09We've got two big jars of that.
36:13Is that sauerkraut?
36:15Do you mind if I try it?
36:16We don't mind.
36:18Here we go.
36:19Oh, wow.
36:22It's very vinegary.
36:27Yes, that's fantastic.
36:29Glad you love it.
36:30I will give you 10 cents for that jar.
36:34Well, we have, what, two of these, right?
36:35That's awesome.
36:37This is our newest product.
36:38It's Rough Rider cider.
36:41I love the Outlaw Bandits.
36:42That's wonderful.
36:43I can give you 25 cents per bottle for the cider.
36:46What do we have?
36:47Seven.
36:47Seven bottles.
36:48I'll take them all for $1.75.
36:51Yeah.
36:52All right.
36:52Sounds good.
36:53Anything else you have?
36:54We have some bandit butter.
36:56Whoa.
36:57Jet took most of the labor.
36:59It actually has a beautiful golden tinge to it and perfect density.
37:04Well done, Jet.
37:05Nice job, kid.
37:06So I can offer you 60 cents in total.
37:09Okay.
37:09We also have a syrup.
37:12That's wonderful.
37:14The syrups have matching jams.
37:16It's incredible.
37:17I could offer you five cents a bottle.
37:21We've got more.
37:22Oh my goodness.
37:23We've got some pickles here.
37:25Yep.
37:25I would be interested in those.
37:27So that will take you up to $3.25.
37:30Would you like that in cash now?
37:32Well, wait.
37:32There's more.
37:33There's more.
37:34We have some sweet beets.
37:38Yeah, these look great.
37:39I could offer you five cents a jar.
37:40I'm going to have to build another shelf.
37:42Yeah.
37:43You like outlaw onions?
37:44I'll take those for five cents.
37:48That's great.
37:48So you're up to $4.
37:51Yeah, nice.
37:52Good job.
37:53We've been working really hard for this day.
37:56We were like, okay, we have to bring you the best of the best.
37:59I'm so impressed with what you brought.
38:01It's going to be a good business relationship.
38:03We're back.
38:05Nice.
38:06Wow.
38:06Congratulations.
38:09I think you're back.
38:11$4 is a lot.
38:13Well done, my friend.
38:14Thank you, Mr. Gilbert.
38:15I feel like it just puts us back on top now.
38:17Thank you, Mr. Gilbert.
38:18And we've all come together.
38:19And I'm most proud of my children because they've come together so strongly out here.
38:23They've just impressed me the most.
38:25Great job.
38:26From the start, I wanted to be able to just feel like myself in this world.
38:34Outlaw bandits, out!
38:38Once the opportunity came to sell stuff, I was able to really showcase what I can do.
38:44I feel like I'm thriving.
38:56With the hard work done, it's finally time to play.
39:04The adults might still be keeping their distance, but the frontier kids have already brought
39:10Mackenzie into the fold.
39:12I'm going to dive in.
39:14Oh, my gosh.
39:15You actually did it.
39:18Is it cold?
39:19Yes, it's cold.
39:22Come on.
39:22Dip your feet in.
39:23Dip your feet in.
39:24It's cold.
39:24Ew.
39:26Just get his butt wet.
39:29No!
39:30Don't dunk your sister.
39:31No, do not.
39:33No, no, no.
39:33No, no.
39:34No, no.
39:34There we go.
39:36Yeah!
39:37It's so cold.
39:38It feels better, doesn't it?
39:40No!
39:44To swim in the river with the other kids, it's absolutely exhilarating.
39:48Three, two, one.
39:49Yeah!
39:52You know, we get to actually have some fun together, and it's so refreshing.
39:55There we go!
39:57You've got to make it fun, because life is not going to be fun all the time, but if you
40:01make it fun, YOLO, like, you only live once.
40:05You didn't duck!
40:06All right, time to get out.
40:13Hang it up a little bit.
40:27Having cashed in on their catsup.
40:29These are pretty, like these.
40:31Mm-hmm.
40:32Can we get some of these?
40:33The Hannah Riggs are going all out for their party.
40:37We got some flowers.
40:38Those are beautiful flowers.
40:41People will be here very soon.
40:43I think lemonade is their last little bit.
40:45So the HRs are holding a party tonight.
40:48I'm really looking forward to hanging out with them, and hopefully there are no issues with
40:51the halls.
40:53We have visitors!
40:54Hey!
40:56How are you guys?
40:57Hi!
40:57What's up, what's up, what's up?
40:59We have a couple of goodies.
41:00Oh!
41:02Your hand is.
41:03Good to see you.
41:04It's always good to get a hug from you.
41:06Hey, ladybug, how are you?
41:07How are you doing?
41:07How are you doing?
41:08Good, how are you?
41:09This is my sister, Alicia.
41:10Hi, how are you?
41:11Come on in.
41:12Yes.
41:13We have some refreshments.
41:15Oh my goodness!
41:17Oh, you haven't been inside?
41:18Yeah, I don't think we've really spent much time inside.
41:21We have lemonade, we got wine.
41:23We got wine.
41:24Oh, wow.
41:25Hey, I love this.
41:27Cheers, cheers to, oh my gosh.
41:29Cheers!
41:30It's the first time I've had wine.
41:31It's on the frontier.
41:32It always tastes better that way.
41:34Yes.
41:34Cheers to you.
41:35The halls are here!
41:36Oh, oh!
41:37The halls are here.
41:38Hi!
41:40Hi!
41:40Hi, how are you all?
41:41What's happening?
41:42Hi!
41:43It's good to see you all.
41:44Good to see you too.
41:45Hello.
41:46Hi!
41:46How are you?
41:47Nice to see you.
41:48Hey, guys.
41:49How are you doing?
41:49Hey, good.
41:50Good evening.
41:51Good evening.
41:52How are you doing?
41:52Good evening, my wife.
41:53How are you too?
41:54That's so cute.
41:55This tension makes it extremely awkward on the frontier.
42:03We don't really get along with the lopers right now, and it's awkward because we're here,
42:10they're here.
42:12There was a lot of tension between the lopers and halls, and so I felt like we had to play
42:15intermediary.
42:17Jason was talking to one of the families, I was talking to the other as a way to kind
42:21of keep the peace, because I think the halls and the lopers just were oil and water and
42:25didn't really want to talk to each other.
42:26Seeing Jeremy way off by himself, and then watching the lopers over there by themselves,
42:34and we were trying to balance it, which, you know, it really wasn't fair to us because
42:39it wasn't our tension.
42:43First off, we want to thank you all for coming to our home.
42:46Like, this is our first time to have you all here, and like, we're super, super excited.
42:51And a special welcome to Alicia McKenzie.
42:54We're so, so happy you're here.
42:56Y'all are amazing.
42:58There's a sense of pride that we've all come so far.
43:02Like, coming here, and I'm sure for y'all, like, walking into your cabin and not knowing
43:08how are we going to survive here.
43:10But then, to be able to go to the general store today, like, with the fruits of our labor,
43:14and to be able to now to start being able to sell things, because everything that we
43:17sold today, like, we put it back into hosting this social event.
43:21And so, there's this whole sense of, like, it's been tough, but I feel like we're making
43:26it work.
43:27We have come so far, and I'm sure we have a lot more challenges to come with our harvest.
43:32Yeah.
43:32Definitely.
43:33So, to community, cheers.
43:35Community.
43:36Community.
43:37Yay.
43:37Yes.
43:38Cheers again.
43:39We have a little tea.
43:40Yay.
43:40The frontier community, it kind of doesn't exist, and we haven't really come together,
43:50and I don't know if we need them just yet, but there's going to be a time where we might.
43:56If a family does not have two families to vouch for them, then that means that they may not
44:01receive their land certificate.
44:03We need to become a real community.
44:07Something has to be done to mend this.
44:10The stakes are too high, because if we don't come together as a community, we fail.
44:15We'll do well.
44:15We'll do well.
