We're big fans of doing things the bootleg way as you'll see but as we always say " If it's stupid & it works, then it's not stupid!" We hope You Enjoy!

Hey Everyone When we purchased our fairytale cottage there was over half an acre that we couldn't even access as it had become a bramble farm. The land had been abandoned for over a hundred years before us moving in, so the Plant had plenty of time to get comfortable and put down roots... In this video, we show you the beginning of us clearing of the mountain of blackberry bushes and revealing ...

Hi! We're the Greenes, and last year, we sold everything we owned and moved 500 miles west from the Uk to rural Ireland to pursue our dream of off-grid eco-living. Today we show you around the acre we've bought and some of the plans we have for it. Other than what we've read in books we're total beginners, but with a Passion for DlY, the Planet and living on our own terms. If that sounds intere...

We're finally on site! Hello everyone :) Our "road" or Carpark has finally been finished and after months parked on a I0° angle just at the side of the road; we are at last on safer, more private ground. No more accidental flashing to our neighbours! We recorded the towing process to show you this milestone for us! See you soon! x

    Goodness what a bunch of whiners on here against a young hard working and inspiring family with their family dreams. I hope you’re not troubled by this sorry lot. You do know that whining is just good ole envy and jealousy. Carry on homesteaders! You are the true grit of what the old Irishman are made of. The others just sit in their basement looking at a screen - this is all they got and can show for themselves. Sad, really. Somebody good in your life has raised you sturdy and solid.

    Hi & good luck in your new adventure. Like someone else suggested, maybe better Video equipment. Also appreciate the fact you don't want to show your baby, but the constant blocking is very distracting. Also invest in good microphone. X

    I live on a 3 acre property in Pennsylvania , USA. My home was built in 1850. But the house was built up on the road because quick access to the road was important back then. So there’s traffic. But I have thick soundproof windows so that is not a problem. I’m 62 so I appreciate not having a long driveway to shovel out of in winter. I also now appreciate being close to the road in case I should need to get someone’s immediate attention for help. These are things important to me as I age. But you are a young couple, so enjoy yourselves. I would have loved a property such as yours back when I was younger.

    I see a comment suggesting that you buy some goats to clear your field and note that “The Restoration Couple” have used pigs to successfully clear shrubs, brambles etc with great results. Best wishes for your project.

    You're absolutely delusional beyond all comprehension if you or anybody will think you can go off grid in Ireland....But keep living the dream till they come knocking, privitisation is going to disappear in MANY places !! Go read the Irish constitution and you'll get your answer!!On the current trajectory if things do not change, ireland will end up being one of the worst places to live for agenda 2030..

    'Visited' Ireland for the first time ...as if ina dream ...unfamiliar views .(except for the watery road and ferns and the brown - coloured grass field which gives the impression of a ripened rice field ...do not know the locatolion ...only know that the place exists on this earth ...which I will never be able to explore ...(our Mother Earth is so vast )!

    Good luck. I am English and have been in Ireland 7 years in County Sligo. I bought a partly renovated cottage, the essentials were already done but have put in a rainwater system, proper drainage, a polytunnel and i have 2 solar panels and batteries to keep the fridge and other things going in an emergency. It is hard work but the freedom and peace is great.
