My son grew his own garden beets for us. They were very good and we ate the leaves as well. This video was taken back in March 2017. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeOsBhPF9ts
This was a super cool winter so far! Our son finally got to see real snow for his first time. He did get to see some piled up snow that was brought in during the summer of AZ at the zoo, but that I figure does not really count.
We hope you all are trying to stay warm and we hope you all have a Happy Holiday!
Thanks again from the Universal Homesteader

I wanted to attempt to reuse an old bed sheet that we were just going to throw away. I also had an empty wipe container that I wanted to reuse as well and I had some orange cleaning ingredients brewing, so I went for it.
I looked at a lot of homemade cleaning recipes and I adjusted them into my own. I had made some tangelo Everclear with my fathers home grown tangelo skins a while back. I had just zested the skins and soaked them in store bought Everclear. I also just made some orange flavored vinegar with soaking the zest of oranges in vinegar.
The recipe I used was:
3 cups water
4 Tablespoons Tangelo Everclear
4 Tablespoons Orange Vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Tlbs Dawn or dish soap, but I would try just 1 Tablespoon instead

This is either our 4th or 5th time replacing this carport roof. It is a nice carport when it does not shred into peices. We buy them through Costco.
Please let us know if you have any questions. :)
Thanks again!

I made this video back in June 2016.
We didn't have good equipment to keep making videos and our computer broke. Now we at least have some starter equipment to keep our story going. We want to document our stories where ever we plan to live.
We are now getting ready to leave the state of AZ and head to cooler weather up North.
We are still trying to learn new skills along the way.
Please let me know if you have any questions in the comment section.

I had made this video back in June 2016. Now with better equipment we can start uploading our homesteading story. The turkey ended up being really good. We made turkey soup with the broth as well as we froze some for later use.
We are planning to move up north soon from AZ for better weather and better dirt for growing some of our own food.
We will be homeschooling our son starting this fall so we will post some of that as well. We are not experts any any one thing but we love learning and trying new things.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks from The Universal Homesteader!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all doing good and getting ready for spring! We are behind due to moving and we are still trying to settle into our new spot. Our new spot still has a lot of ice and snow but it is starting to melt now. I have seen a few seedlings starting to sprout in my test truck garden so that is giving me hope. We plan to make some raised beds at our RV park so I can grow some veggies near our RV as well as some random planting on our raw land.
I was told by our neighbor that behind us in the forest has tons of wild strawberries and mushrooms so we will be keeping an eye out for that since it is right behind us. We just need to keep an eye out for wild animals. Also the deer eat most of the strawberries. :)
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks so much!

Now we both quit our city jobs to prep to move to a cooler state and more of a homesteading life. We want our son to grow up in a smaller town were you know all your local neighbors and where he can see real snow for his first time.
My husband will look for a different job when we get there as we still will need money coming in, but I will be home with our son homeschooling and getting the homestead ready. We will have to stay in the RV for a while until we get things moving but that is fine with us.
Please join us on our journey of the universal homesteading life!
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks again!
