I agree. I'm a newcomer to this channel. It started with the saw milling and progressed from there. I grew up on a dairy farm so I'm very familiar with the time it takes to care for animals and all of the unseen work it takes to do so. I LOVE this channel! One day a week or seven..... I plan to watch them all. Praying for you and God bless.

Profit is good and most people invest profit back into their business but fail to pay themselves. Do you know any corporation where the CEO doesn’t get paid? As for working and video content: Check out Red Poppy Ranch for working videos. Red Poppy Ranch voice overs his days work and adds some soul barring moments too. ❤️.

I'm following a number of homesteader channels, but your content is unique - you are so business-like and competent on the land. Even though you do things so differently to how we would here, I can see the reasons behind that, and I can learn from the things you talk about. I don't need to see projects only when they're completed, though, I'd be fine with an instalment - this week we finished putting the floor in the new loft, this week we picked up firewood, whatever - life is lived in instalments, not completed projects. Can anybody else in the family take over editing your videos while you go on with farm work? Btw, the footage of the sawmill has a ceiling fan flickering in the top of the screen. If you're able to adjust the camera position or angle to cut that out it would be pleasanter viewing.

I've thoroughly enjoyed your more recent videos on topics NO other homesteaders have even mentioned, but are important to know, such as the mineral rights and such. Some homesteaders seem to get all hung up on their homestead needing to "pay off", and it's great if they can find revenue streams, but the main payoff, IMO, should be the healthier food you're providing your family. You know what is and isn't in it, and that animals were ethically raised and harvested.

Yep, it's boring; but fact-based analytics and logistics and time management usually are!

if you quit I hope you donate your land to a Nature club like Sierra club you will be surprised how fast developers will ruin an area and how the local politicians love it because they get huge bribes

You should invent the Homestead Autopilot. It's a sure winner. The commercial almost writes itself: "Endless chores gettin' you down? No time to live the good life? Honey Do list eatin' you alive? Get the Homestead Autopilot 3000! Get back to the free and easy life you moved out here for! Once again find time for the things that make life worthwhile: Hiking Hunting Fishing Day Drinking Naps And making KZitem videos! All these and more can be yours with the Homestead Autopilot 3000!"

I'm sure you get a lot of feedback, so I don't know that this will be reaffirming in any way, but I have often wondered how you could produce three great videos about homesteading each week and still have time to actually BE a homesteader! Now, I understand that you aren't claiming to be a full-time homesteader, and you declare that in your introduction of each video, but I think you have a passion for these things and actually want to DO more of them, not just talk about them. I can very much empathize with that, because it's how most of us who have an interest in homesteading feel, ourselves. So, if you want to spend more time practicing what you preach, and less time filming and editing videos about stuff you wish you were doing, I totally get that. Here's hoping you are very successful, or at least know when to concede that you've failed. :) Please keep posting videos, because your efforts allow many others to live vicariously through your efforts, and plan for what may some day be.

If the income from the videos can justify it, perhaps you need to take on some help - either from a family member or an outside source. That could be on the projects themselves or the video editing which I realize is time consuming. I agree completely that sacrificing quality for quantity isn’t an answer but I look at my own viewing habits on your type of KZitem channel and admit I do prefer those with more frequent videos. I don’t give up on those that drop off to one a week but I have quit looking for those channels when their output dropped below that point. Good luck with your choice. I’m sure you will give it due deliberation.

I would much rather have 1 quality topic covered in detail! Im looking forward to the next project video! Individuals can use the age old 'word of mouth' method to help promote your channel, and you dont need to rely so much on the advertising machines like KZitem to push of volumes of endless rambling and revolting amounts of pet footage... Here is to some pee in everyones Cherio's to stat the day!

I far prefer quality over quantity. It really bothers me when channel content stoops to the point of all but clipping toe nails to get out 5 videos per week. Another channel (besides yours) that I enjoy went 'ghost' for about 10 days then posted an update to let subscribers know a few details and apologize for not having any video worthy content. That is far better than 'clipping toenails' and posting it.

This is going to be tough - what will I do on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:30? Talk about your boots or the gravel under your feet. Talk about your truck tires. Anything. I will have to make an appointment with Pastor Tanzey for a counseling session - bet that will be his first caused by not enough RedToolHouse. I just hope there are no funny cat videos in my future.

Look at me, Giving marketing advice to a marketer. What I want in a channel is information I can use. However, shots of accidental testing of electric fencing is good too. What will get me to unsubscribe is nonstop "We are so cool" video.

I will always listen to advice! I try to keep the funny mistakes in the videos. Not sure we can do a "we are so cool" video. Doesn't that require a certain element of "hip-ness"? :)

This video was "what we do on our hiatus", "homesteading is less likely to fail with a business plan", "My projects on the back burner", "the farmer market model", "goals and recognizing progress or failure". Twenty minutes is too long for one topic, four minutes might be too short, 10 minutes was supposedly optimal for KZitem. A video can be one topic and only be part 1. This video could have been easily two 10 minutes video's and this video could have been five 10 minutes video's. 19 minutes is less quality than 10 minutes.

What about doin a video every 4 or 5 days instead of 7 still less work but it will mean more than just 4 videos a month

I am going to test this for a couple weeks and see how it works. I think there will be times that I can easily create 2 or 3 videos out a project if I have time to work on the project. That may allow me to publish more on one week. I am committed at this point to do at least one per week. Thanks for the feedback!
