It would be so helpful if you could do a video on what our grandfather knew to look for regarding choosing good piece of land to build a cabin, a garden, a root cellar, a few livestock, etc. The location and position their cabins, what signs in the terrain did they know could possibly be a future problem or safety concern. Thank you for considering this.

Who was the notorious criminal who was caught bried under leaves? I'm thinking maybe James Earl Ray or Squeaky Frome. Probably lots of escapees.
