Channel: Indian Man In America

[6]
It's really windy today. I'm not scolding you. Just screaming into the camera because I don't know how the sound will turn out.
[26]
In this video, I will answer some of your questions related to my land.
[31]
It's so windy.
[33]
Let me show you around the property once again. It looks different around here in June.
[40]
The grass is really green now.
[52]
I try to visit here every month.
[57]
This place is 5 hours away from where I live.
[60]
Therefore, I can't visit here every day.
[64]
This is why it takes so long to make a video about this place.
[68]
One of you said in the comments that this place looks like mars.
[75]
I agree. This place does look a little like mars. When I moved to America, I moved here as a student.
[83]
My student visa said the words "Non-Resident Alien" on it. I've literally been called an Alien since I moved to America.
[95]
Some of you said in the comments that my land is actually barren.
[100]
The drone shots in my previous land videos were taken during the winter. It may have looked like nothing could ever grow here.
[113]
It looked like the entire property was barren.
[116]
This is not correct. Actually, look at all the grass here.
[120]
There are some flowers here as well as many different types of grasses.
[127]
Look at these beautiful wild flowers here.
[136]
If you know the name of this flower, please leave it In the comment below.
[142]
They are very beautiful flowers.
[147]
So this land is not barren at all. I can feed this grass to cows, goats, or donkeys. Some of you have called me a jackass. Even I can eat this grass.
[166]
{sings old Hindi song}
[178]
Today is Sunday. I drove for 5 hours just to come here and enjoy my land over the weekend.
[187]
One of the questions you asked was, "What do I plan to do with this land?"
[191]
I have a lot of plans and ideas.
[194]
If you live in the city, you may have noticed how crowded it can be during the pandemic.
[207]
Not everyone enjoys living among the crowds. I love nature and room to roam.
[212]
I love peace and quiet which I can get out here on my 60 acres.
[219]
I don't have any neighbors here to have any disputes with.
[224]
However, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to tell you how to live. These are just my personal choices. Everyone is on their own journey.
[249]
I plan to make this place my home.
[254]
I also want to farm here. Drive a tractor. Raise cows for milk, chickens for eggs, etc.
[263]
I want to design a life with minimal stress.
[267]
I'm interested in simplifying life. I don't want to complicate life too much.
[272]
My land was very cheap which I paid for in cash. I don't have any stress of a mortgage or loan.
[284]
My ears are very itchy these days. I don't know why. Leave me a comment if you know what I can do to fix.
[292]
You will think Himanshu has totally lost his mind in America. Actually, you are right. I'm totally crazy.
[297]
America is full of crazy dreamers like me.
[306]
Let's go check out my pond.
[312]
Look at all the tall grass near the pond.
[316]
There are likely a lot of snakes here. I'm not scared... I'm a lion.
[323]
I showed you this pond a few months ago. It had a bunch of water here.
[330]
And now, there is just tall grass here. What beautiful grass too.
[336]
Eventually, I plan to dig this pond even more and make it a big beautiful all-season pond.
[343]
The water is gone but this grass is so beautiful.
[346]
I can fatten up many animals with this grass.
[352]
This grass is so beautiful.
[358]
I don't know the names of any of these plants. But look at these beautiful wild plants.
[366]
These are all wild plants growing here naturally. There are some flowers growing over there as well.
[376]
One of the questions you asked was, "What is the deal with water on this land?"
[382]
Actually, I will need to get a well dug here.
[389]
I nearly fell. haha
[393]
So I will need a well here.
[396]
I will then use a solar panel to power a pump that will bring the water up to the surface. That water will then be stored in a large tank.
[405]
I will cross the fence right there.
[413]
So I have just crossed the fence to arrive on my neighbor's land. The neighbor already has a well and tank setup which I will show you now.
[423]
The neighbor has a large tank with solar panels.
[431]
Let me show you the well first.
[440]
So this is the well. This little thing. This pipe goes 300 feet deep into the ground.
[449]
These are the electronics that are powered by the solar panels and bring the water up from the ground and store in the tank.
[460]
This tank can store up to 6k gallons or 20k liters of water. 20-22k liters. My math is not that great which is why I had to move to America.
[476]
Some of you asked me about my height. I'm 6 feet tall. Notice how much bigger this tank is compared to me.
[484]
It is a 6k gallon tank. 1 gallon is almost 4 liters.
[489]
I'm not sure if you can hear me very clearly.
[492]
My throat is starting to hurt because I'm shouting. It is very windy here.
[498]
Although, no one will ever notice any screaming here.
[506]
One of the questions was, "Why is land so cheap in America?" There are many reasons for this. One of them is...
[515]
This is farm land away from the city.
[520]
The nearest city is 1 hour drive away from this land.
[524]
Agriculture land is usually cheaper than land in the city.
[530]
The second reason is that America's population is only 330 million vs India's 1.4 billion. The land area however in the US is 3-3.5 times that of India.
[543]
As you can imagine, demand and supply determine the price.
[547]
There is a lot of land and few people. This makes land affordable here.
[552]
Another question was, "Can a foreign national buy land in America?" And the answer is...
[560]
Absolutely! Anyone with money can buy land in America. There is no restriction based on nationality.
[572]
Many of you wanted to know if buying land will help you get a green card or permanent residency in America.
[580]
Dear friends, there is no relationship between buying land and getting a green card.
[589]
One can buy land in America even if they are in India or anywhere else. If you want to buy, let me know in the comments below.
[599]
But I want to ask you, if you don't have a green card or American citizenship, what will you do with land here? I'm not sure what you could do. Let me know.
[616]
Now if you are an American citizen or permanent resident and want to buy land in Washington State, let me know. I will give you more information.
[632]
Kayla is here with me as well. It's really windy and cold today is why she is wearing a jacket. I'm usually too chilled to be cold. LOL
[640]
Actually, I am from the Himalayan ranges in India. I grew up in Chandigarh but my heart lives in Himanchal Pradesh.
[648]
So, I've moved a lot of spare building materials from my house. I can use them for projects on this land.
[658]
I used my trailer to haul all of this stuff here. I could not film that process however. I'm doing everything alone so I can't always film.
[667]
Look I have already filled up this container.
[674]
Look, Kayla is cycling. I have an exercise bike here.
[681]
Feel the burn?
[697]
There is a bunch more tall grass here. If you have any ideas for its use, let me know in the comments below.
[706]
Look at all these rocks here. If you think of a use for these, let me know in the comments below as well.
[760]
Thank you Kayla for your help.
[781]
I've just woken up.
[784]
It's not so windy anymore. It's Sunday today. We came here yesterday.
[789]
I slept in the shipping container. I did not setup a tent outside because it was too windy yesterday.
[800]
Look I found a bone.
[805]
I find a lot of these around here. There is plenty of active wild life around here.
[816]
If you haven't watched the video where I buy this shipping container, I have it listed on my channel.
[822]
I was telling you yesterday why I bought this land. It's because my heart is with the earth, the sky, the trees.
[836]
It's not in the city.
[838]
I dislike the city traffic and the city air. The air here is incredible.
[847]
If you are familiar with the air quality index...
[852]
Delhi's AQI can reach as high as 600 which is very dangerous.
[862]
The AQI here is only 23.
[871]
One of my friends who lives in Delhi, has an air purifier in their home. The AQI after the purification is 58.
[881]
The AQI here is 23 without the air purifier. Meaning the natural air quality is incredible.
[890]
I want to say something. I'm a little hesitant to make this video as well.
[897]
I can empathize with the suffering in New Delhi right now because of the shortage of oxygen and clean air during the second wave of the corona virus.
[907]
I'm not trying to brag about my clean air. Just trying to share why I have purchased this land in the middle of nowhere.
[923]
I have bought it so that I can get clean air for a long time. If my lungs get clean air, my body will be healthy.
[930]
I need a healthy body to pursue any of my dreams in America.
[937]
As they say, "A healthy body can build the world."
[941]
Very quickly we have gone from 1k to 40k subscribers. If you are here for the first time, make sure to watch all the previous videos on my channel.
[951]
Many of your questions will be answered by watching other videos on this channel.
[958]
It is also possible that other videos will create even more questions in your mind.
[962]
I plan to post videos on this channel for many years to come. Eventually, I will answer all of your questions.
[969]
It takes a long time to post videos because I have to do everything here myself. As you can see on this channel. I am a one man army.
[979]
Someday, I will create a video for you and share all the different things you should learn before moving to America.
[989]
That will save you time and money because you will not have to learn them here.
