I have recently mentioned that I have “repurposed” my YouTube channel. My channel is now home to a weekly video of my antics while I am on the homestead.
Getting Outside
All the gear we use and the places we go to get outside.
Winter Wear for Outdoor Comfort
Choosing the right winter wear for playing or working outside in the winter makes all the difference in how comfortable you will be. I choose to wear wool when I’m working outdoors. In a previous blog post I discussed some of the essentials to pack in the car or truck before you head out on […]
Winter Driving Prep
Now that winter driving conditions are here, it is important to be prepared before you head out on the highway. On my Homestead on the Hill YouTube channel I discussed this topic. You can see the video – posted below. There are a couple of things I forgot to mention in my winter driving prep […]
