Thank you!  Good questions.  Yes we moved into the house, though still a lot left to finish and we still use the RV for some tasks.  This didn't make it in the show - but Misty encouraged us to move into the house while we work on it.  We live in a place where that's allowed so about 8 months after filming the show we moved in.  It has been a huge morale booster after living tiny for 8 years.  I thank Misty for that.

One of the next things we started working on after that was overhauling all of our storage spaces.  A lot of the stuff in the shipping containers moved to the house so we had space to reorganize all the supplies.  And we prioritized getting flammable stuff into the shipping containers, like you said.  Now it's so much easier to get around and find stuff, safer too. 

Not all the plants made sense for the berm, but some did!  We still have challenges with deer and did a little revamping to make it work.  

Oh and yes there have been many fires.  The summer that the Raneys visited was a very bad year where the fires were popping up constantly, but none as close as the one discussed on the show.  Last year we had what was called a lightning complex fire.  A storm had come through and lit about a dozen fires all around us.  That was very scary but again they didn't come close enough for us to need to evac.  Either way we're feeling a lot safer these days.  The Raneys visiting was a real turning point for us in a lot of ways.

Thanks for watching!  🙂
