00:00Well, this has been a process that I've been doing for the last 15 years.
00:03It started, I think, in 2007, seven or eight.
00:10And it was about this land out there.
00:13I knew I wanted to be out away from everything in the woods and build sort of my own little
00:19oasis in a way.
00:22And it's taken a long time.
00:24It was a lot of, you know, pickaxes and shovels in the beginning.
00:28And then I got a tractor.
00:29I got a skid steer, go Bobcat.
00:32And then I got, you know, and not really sort of expedited things, but it was, you know,
00:36it was no electricity or water for a while.
00:38Then we had, then we dug wells.
00:40Then we had, you know, no more, you know, we built a sink in the kitchen and we built a
00:45bathroom and it became like this a little bit less rugged and a little bit more normalized,
00:53at least to what we're used to.
00:54So it's been a process.
00:55And I really appreciated that process, I think, because it was like, you know, we got to make
01:00sure we got enough wood and water and food because we're 40 miles from anything and we're
01:05deep in the woods.
01:06So we got to make sure that we're prepared.
01:08And I think that that was what I weirdly fell in love with was just, you know, it became
01:13about just the basics, hand to mouth, making sure that we could, I could take care of everybody
01:17and we had enough just to stay alive out there.
