Sustainability | Homesteading | Bus Life

Hey, We're Di and Sam, two adventurous travellers (plus two dogs and a cat!) who love sharing their sustainable bus life journey on YouTube. Before hitting the road, we spent three years homesteading—raising chickens, sheep, geese, bees, and several gardens—while regenerating the land we rented. Our passion for growing food and living sustainably now carries over into bus life, as we explore the world, connect with cultures, and learn along the way."

Which animal provides the most value on a homestead?

Sometimes we chat about which animals we like or which are easy to look after, but I've never asked which d you think gives back the most value. I'm talking for the time you give, which of these 4 gives the most back.

We're backing off to 1 video a week for the time being, we've both gone back into work in the last few weeks and it has been taking a lot more of our time trying to balance it all - we know you will understand as you are all super stars, and we hope you will engage with us on the daily shorts and Instagram stories in between the weekly videos!

What’s your favourite way to compost kitchen scraps?

My favourite thing about composting is being able to reduce how much trash I make in a week, it means I don't have to take out my bin as often (which where we live is all the way out on the road, not right by your house - so far)

I just heard YouTube is adding some awesome features for audience and subscribers
WHO"S EXCITED!?

Two cool features I'm eager for:
1) Hype - viewers will be able to give hype points to videos they like to help the video do better on the platform
2) Viewers will actually get to comment and post photos/updates and discuss things in this community tab - so you can ask questions and interact with one another right here - without having to go to instagram or facebook or wherever else!!
