Howdy!đď¸ I'm turning 320 acres of Texas desert wasteland into a desert forest in the MOST isolated spot in Texas!
My name is Shaun! I live in Texas and I run my own business integrating software systems. And now I'm buying 320 acres of West Texas wasteland?!?
You might ask, âWhy buy this land?â I want a challenge.
One of the first properties that came up matched absolutely everything I was looking for.
-,The land is almost completely barren.
-,Monsoon rains bring water at the height of summer, when itâs most needed.
- Itâs under $250 an acre
- A wash in the middle looks like it has potential to capture massive amounts of water
I don't know if this project will work out for me or not, but one thing is for sure: it will be interesting.

I'm sure y'all have noticed me slowing down the pace of episodes. Dustups isn't going anywhere, but I'm slowing down the pace over the summer.
The next episode will run May 16th.
I'll make an episode about the change on my next visit. If you're interested in visiting, sign up at teamdustups.com/volunteer/.

Bad news and good news.
The bad news is that I'm taking a break this week.
The good news is that there's loads of updated Dustups content on teamdustups.com/. It's free!

We looked up at the sky and couldn't help but ask, "WHAT IS THAT???"
Even though we're in West Texas, we saw the Space X Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg, California, 1,088 miles away.

I'm humbled by all the support for the water well t-shirts. I placed the announcement at the end of the episode and y'all have exceeded my hopes.

If you missed the announcement, I'm offering limited edition t-shirts through January 11. 100% of the funds received will go towards digging a water well this spring.
The budget for digging and sealing the well is up to $40,000, which is a very scary number. Every t-shirt puts a dent in the number.
I say a thank you every time I see a sale notification come through. The generosity is sincerely appreciated.
Edit: The link supports donations if you don't want to purchase a t-shirt.

The northern lights made it to Dustups. The blue light is the rescue beacon that everyone always asks about.

I took a risk this week and featured a project that isnât Dustups. Itâs either going to be a bangerâor totally bomb.
If you want to see more stories like this, the best thing you can do is share this episode with someone whoâll actually enjoy it. Hypes and comments are great, but nothing helps more than sending the link directly to someone who loves these kinds of stories.
