I built a 3rd section of chicken run, finished today and immediately let the birbs have at it.

The purple plants are a type of hibiscus. There was also a bunch of Spanish needle (a weed) growing. The chickens eat both. The fence is 8 foot high and topped with bird netting. The gate is a section of hog panel.

They were very happy and rooted around there most of the day.

Living on a Self-Sufficient Sailboat for 10 Years + FULL TOUR

Brian and Karin Trautman have been living on a sailboat for 10 years, and their boat is set up so they can be off the grid in remote places for months at a time with solar and wind power providing electricity, a water maker that turns salt water into fresh water, multiple freezers and loads of storage space for food, and even a small washing machine on board!

They've sailed SV Delos – a 53' sloop rig ketch – 83,000 nautical miles which is the equivalent of circling the earth at the equator more than 3 times. Their latest adventures include sailing as a family with their 6-month baby, Sierra, and outfitting the boat with a heater so they can explore the Arctic this summer after several years in the Tropics.
