Jacob Goes Off Grid Day 73 Part 1

This is a video from Day 73 of going off-grid. I went 'off grid' five hundred and ninety-six days ago and it has been quite the journey since I got dropped off at this old fallow farm and built (continue to build) all my own infrastructure. I have been video documenting the entire process and have just recently begun publicly sharing some of the videos. I have been sharing the videos privately since I started the entire process which I call Jacob Goes Off Grid In The Woods. 'Day 1' is the morning after I arrived at this little place in the mountains in the 'dead of winter' on January thirteenth of two thousand and seventeen with my dogs, my wits, minimal gear and very little hard currency to work with. Slowly I have done my best to breathe life into a very old farm and give it all my best, 'learning as I go', and documenting the process as best I can. It has been quite the journey so far.

In this video I talk about removing a bunch of wild raspberry plants out of the old spring area where the shooting range was.

I show where I have cleaned out much of the vegetation around the spring especially the multi-flora and briers.

I show where there are some old dry stack stone walls on either side of the small stream that leads away from the spring. I talk about how at one time(according to a neighbor) there was once a spring house built over the spring.

This is the day that the hostile neighbor came to the gate. At the time I describe the encounter in a rather diplomatic way. In hindsight my conjecture is that the dogs had been back tracking him to his property because he was either snooping around the border of this property or actually trespassing onto it. I later learned that the person is sort of the 'problem drunk' in the area and has had altercations with pretty much everyone that lives in the area. As I often like to say 'there is always that one asshole around'.

I show where I transplanted the raspberry plants (from the spring area) into the area beside the shack that I previously created a stone border around.

As always this is just a summary of the video's content and not meant to explain everything that I cover in the video.
