We Can't Keep Living Like This // off grid living in Panama

You want to keep a handle on the rust where the bus is secured to the posts. Maybe brush a little used oil or grease around the welds. You don't want to have a 'rude awakening'.

You guys should get some windmills and harvest wind for electricity, with all that wind it makes sense.

Remember great welds end with "thick paint". And I really love these vidjeos!

your voice is beautiful!! you guys should practice and integrate little short melodies and songs into your videos.

Nice video. Crazy bucket shot! But I didn't get the resolution I thought we would. Where's the deck? Cliffhanger! hahaha

Maybe ur problem with the cows is a language barrier. You need to speak Spanish to the cows 😂😹

"I ALWAYS MIX THOSE UP" BAHAHHAHH literally hahahah you do with water bahahah

I'm in lockdown in San Carlos District of Panama (near Coronado). Loving your series! Stay sane in this lockdown. It's a crazy time. Ya'll are doing a great job settling into life in Panama (and being off the grid and all the bureaucracy here).

no matter what anyone tells you ... its lonely living overseas

Hey guys nice one
One ? Wher are you guys from originally?

are these two from australia?

We've been market gardening/homestead farming for 10 years. I don't need a workout plan. And farmers take showers before bed. BTW, the cow thing? Here's how you tap into the "cowness" of the cows and get them to work for you. My free advice is to get a solar charged battery powered electric fence charger and electric poly rope on metal fence stakes (I made some from 3/8 rebar stakes and welded some angle steel at 1 Ft. from the bottom for stepping them into the ground). I put stakes 25 footsteps apart. Add plastic insulators for the poly rope at about hip high so cows will hit it with their nose or shoulders. It's easy to make a 10 foot wide gate with an extra stake and a pre-bought plastic handle or you can make a handle from wood with a strong (9 gauge) wire hook. Clip the positive lead wire to the poly rope and clip the negative lead to your steel gate post. That's all you need in damp earth to make a ground plane on a small enclosure. It's totally movable. A single strand of electric fence will educate the local cows in short order and if they do knock it down it's easy to fix. I've used my solar chargers for years and you can get replacement batteries when needed Surround the house and garden and let the cows have the grass you don't need. They'll keep it mowed for you and the forest won't move back in and the neighbors will appreciate you generously giving them the extra grazing. There will be peace in the valley and the cows will give you free fertilizer. Cows mow 'till they're full. Machines mow 'till they're empty. Cheers and best wishes.

Great song:)

Hi Guys. I enjoy your videos, how you make them and your honesty with your struggles. As a professional tradesman, I have a tip for you to make your life easier. There is no need to box your concrete. Just dig your hole to the right size and shape and pour your concrete in, if you mix the concrete a touch dry the post will self support. Consider raising the steel post a touch in the hole to allow the concrete underneath. Hope this helps Mark from Australia

I really love what you guys are doing...but why Panama? Why couldn’t you do it here in the US?

Being a guy I came up with solution for Toilets, just get a Commode Chair & a roll of 4Gallon Plastic Bags, then toss those plastic 11 Gallon bags into a Kitchen Tall Bag Trash can & then toss the 11 gallon bags into a 50 gallons drum with a Heavy Duty Liner, too pull out & maybe it could be used to power some Steam Powered Generator Burning the Plastic & organic matter. See if that will do,do you. :) Hope your also doing plenty of "Earthing" also called Grounding. I would certainly Get a Goat for Milk & feed it all the weeds, before the Cows get them. Remember Massage Therapy is the greatest ((STRESS))) reducer it produces those all important feel good Hormones like Oxytocin. Eat some Beef Liver now & then for B-12 ,iron & Vitamin A.

in the future grind a small pivot on the seam that your welding for a stronger bond and ther won't be a lump.

Hi, I have been watching ur channel a few times, may I ask how about getting a ready-made container for u to live in, that also have much space inside and it won't much? U could use a burned up wood-like u did to last time that would last a long time and also match with farming style life. I mean put up the burned up plunk against or around the container to cover up the bare metal? Thanks for sharing.

if you hold the chicks and nuture them , it will be much harder to cut their fkn heads off and make them the delicious food they should be . just saying. when it comes time dont feel bad rip , thier stupid little heads off and throw them on a fry pan.

she needs to get pregnant and be a mom.. thats what you truly need .. complete your soul . you know thats it.

hahaha ,, omg your welds are horrible , i can come out and help you with that and your gf if you dont mind sharing lol... im amazing at both. im joking of course , mostly lol... i love what you two are doing , its amazing god bless you and keep you safe. I truly hope the best for the two of you.

Time for a solar electric fence

I subscribed to help you with income. i do watch at times because it's interesting but my ass aint living the USA at my age. I have considered it though. If I was 10 years younger I would go south and retire and make an adventure of it. i would leave my cash here though i believe. I don't trust banks that might not be there the next day. lol and do not wan to deal with the learning curve.

Fyi. Yoga is demonic/satanic. That is why it is PROMOTED by the media. Just FYI. Thats all.

some great camera work

The "reflective moments" were very touching and telling. So well said and inspiring. I shed a few. 😢

Those are bulls.

Can't live like that anymore, great thing trust funds travel.

What I miss so much to see the star
In the sky. I leave in New york fot
Many yrs now. I miss that from my
Country is very romantic.
I knight I used to watch the start, so
Besutiful.

I don't want to sound rude or anything but it might be offensive to ask this, but how does someone living this lifestyle pay for all of this? Buying food, gasoline, power tools and materials, basic needs like clothing and hygiene products and so on. If someone watching this wants to know if it is sustainable, is it really? and for how long do you think before anyone would have to cave and get a job?

NEVER ... lean out that flimsy bus window... gonna be the end of your adventure real quick...

A compost toilet is quite different from burying the crap in a hole every day. Composting completely kills pathogens, eliminates odours, and yields humus. It is a process that gets rid of all household organic waste safely and efficiently. We used to dig a hole with a post hole digger because we didn't want to put feces in our regular compost heap, but after studying a few trusted experts, we decided to add it to the compost pile. It works superbly if you do the job correctly, and fifty years later, I still do the same without any noticeable unforeseen consequences, and much less strain than digging holes. At 75, I still make ten tonnes of compost every year, and I still love both doing it, and getting tonnes of worm castings, which make your plants do jumping jacks, and laugh alot. Also, the sooner you get the cows fenced out, the better off you will be. Cows are a huge pain in the ass, and they never miss a trick when it comes to total destruction.

I love wim hoff and ice baths! Haha its awesome seeing others all charged up and as enthused. You adapt after a minute and a half and after doing them daily it gets way easier.

With a good system at top efficiency, and average production of three tons per acre, you’ll need 2.6 acres to meet the dry matter requirements of the 1,000-pound cow for a year.

If you are continuously grazing, you will need more acres.

This would be such a dream for me and my family! My son would be in heaven!

That’s it 💧❄️ Exactly it will happen keep putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation taking those cold baths and it will build mental strength to be able to make it easier for you to take those cold baths. It will work that’s what happened to me. I rarely take hot baths even if I have hot water. I love it. In the summertime I look forward to it getting cold again So I can get that exhilaration. Just switch to pouring the water over you and don’t spray it on you.

You have a beautiful sweet voice, would love to hear more of it. Have a night of sit around a campfire with your friends, eat be merry & sing & more of the night sky. Seeing so many stars & so bright is just amazing, I was wondering what your dog's name was & if I heard correctly it's Lola so many are not true to themselves, they meaning me are to busy pleasing others, nothing wrong in that but excluding oneself is not right either. I know I would have been broken hearted if my daughters went to live the other side of the world but what you said about when you go home you give 100% of yourselves to them. I get a small very small percent from one daughter as her life is so busy my other daughter give say 10% as she is busy also. Which would I prefer. Definitely what you said 100% for a few weeks each year. Thank you at age 69 it is never to old to learn. Cheers & blessings to you both Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏻❤️⭐️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺❤️⭐️

Absolutely love u guys!

lolazal1 are from 🇵🇦 panama, or at least from any 3es word in Latinoamérica? I am. In panama there is a lack of regulation in many fields. You guy that comment here don't have a clue and forget panama is a 3rd world 🌎 country. So do not judge panama as you do to a 1st word white countries... please ....

You Jordan & Kaylee are building amazing character, perseverance, patience, & sacrificially giving to each other of your love, time, and skills. I also love the compassion & forgiveness you both have for people, animals. Your videos are terrific. Thanks so much.

Beauty School Dropout, "go back to High School". Go back to the so called RAT RACE and this time SAVE more of your MONEY and EARN IT by "saving it and INVESTING IT". Then you WILL BE LIVING THE DREAM LIFE. Invest in the SWPPX (S&P500) fund. Come on MAN, that is what we RICH PEOPLE DO!! Panama is a 3rd world "mess", if you are outside of the USA, you're moving backwards in your life style.

I’m just thinking about how your child/ren will be able to see all of the things you did, and the journey you took, and i think its truly beautiful.

The cryptocurrency has charted a 10-fold rally in the past 11 months, offering a significantly higher return than gold amid the massive inflation-boosting monetary and fiscal stimulus delivered by authorities worldwide to counter the coronavirus-induced economic slowdown.I STARTED INVESTING WITH LOUIZ SOME WEEKS AGO AND I JUST RECEIVED A MASSIVE PROFIT DUE TO THE RECENT HIKE OF BITCOIN..

A little bit of buck shot will stop those cows from coming back.

Beautiful voice.

The first episode that I found showed making a rock border around a flower bed by the house. Then I saw the outside toilet.

I wasn't sure why putting up a couple of make shift walls and a roof... could be done with a couple sheets of pylwood.....wouldn't come first.

Camping in the Snowy Mountains, we used a hoola hoop and a stolen shower curtain from an old Howard Johnson's hotel. We hug the hoola hoop from a tree, strung the shower curtain....which covered 3 sides, and a plastic sheet for a roof.

Beats being in the rain.

Good luck guys...wishing you the best
