About Us:
We are a homeschool and homesteading family currently building on our new 20 acre homestead in North Idaho. We garden, seed save, raise rabbits, raise chickens, process our own meat, save our own seed, can, bake, and do just about everything that we can ourselves to achieve a self sufficient and debt free life for our family.
A new detective asked a co-worker to bring his duty belt to the range. The co-worker shortened the belt by several inches prior to delivery. The face of the detective, when he struggled to put in the belt, was priceless. It still makes me giggle today. Slàinte Mhaith for 2021
Hi Road Dog, love from Ireland, please support Gemma ODoherty.com and the patriots here,God Bless
You really could not have made the move at a better time. Being off grid you've been able to keep your family out of harms way both virus wise and in this political environment regarding police. You truly were/ are more prepared to deal with this year than most people. Now you live in an astounding beautiful area and you're free from the pressures of city life. What a blessing 🛤 ⛰
So glad you’ve all had a lovely Christmas, let’s hope 2021 will be a better year for all of us!🎉🥃😷🍻
THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE ACOMPLISHED
My goodness, look how much you two have accomplished in 1 year! Jeremy walking away from his job, the big move, selling everything and hauling butt! And all with 4 kids! And you just said everything I'm writing..lol. anyways, you two are amazing! Absolutely love watching your family. Keep the dream alive! U have the rest of your lives..
Perhaps
I am also a goal person, mine was to be able and strong enough to take a very few steps on my walker, did it !!!!!!! Semper Fi.
Thank you for your service and good luck in your recovery. Blessings for 2021
Have no fear, when police officers in some areas aren't being respected as they should be! You've created a wall to show that their are so many more of us that appreciate them so much. Jeremy is liking that big green toy.
I've always thought there should be a national holiday in honor of emergency personnel. They risk their lives for their communities. Some people take them for granted until they are in need of them
@@laughteraddict1003 I totally agree.
Jeremy by this time next year you will have to move the patch wall to the farm house wall! Your man cave wall is not near big enough.
I don’t know if anybody else has noticed but Jeremy you still have the eyes of a cop. And that’s a good thing
It' must feel really good to be able to appreciate law enforcement. Only good officers should be celebrated who are committed to following the law in all communities. Unfortunately in minority communities some officers fail GOOD people daily!
@@BlackMoonHawk you do realize this is an ex-cops Vlog are you here lying in wait til someone says something good about cops to criticize them?
What I love is your strong relationship. It's a beautiful thing.
Made me cry seeing that beautiful green tractor under that snow
For waste incineration, bring in a barrel that will be useful for burning waste
I always love your opening and your beautiful scenery that you have everyday. I am hoping that your next adventure?? building your home is as much fun as it was your tiny home..It will be just as beautiful and your knowledge that you have been able to accomplish anything thru hard work and being together as a team..Happy New Year...May you be blessed in all you do in the coming months ahead.
I'm just amazed at the two of you. You've grabbed the unknown by the horns and wrestled it into submission. Keep up the good work and thank you for letting us enjoy your journey with you.
Hi guys, Keith here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, Hickory NC. I don't understand your fright...I had 100% confidence in the Suza family! In every video you posted, was pure fun, work yes, but you guys exhibited so much happiness, I couldn't see fear at all! These accomplishments have been your college, you're now tried and true! No way can you claim to be inexperienced! I've got total faith in you, could be problems, I mean there's always a possibility...but at worst, it may be a week past expected finish date. For sure, your house will be complete, the animals will multiply and the garden will produce! You need a grapple, a Weinstein winch, a plow, for garden, and a Woodmizer sawmill! I am waiting for your next post. You have plenty to do, plus moving cameras all day and hours of editing so I just gotta thank you for that, for putting big smiles on my face! 👍🚜❤🏞🤗
Everything about this is lovely. Just wish I had found someone to work with and build a nice homestead with like this. I'm 61 now and have raised 2 girls alone. They're great people, but just love watching your strong relationship and how you work hard while having fun together. Keep going and God bless you all!
The "Jeremy going down the driveway on the tractor" sequence was like something out of a movie. The burn piles in the middle of the snowy landscape were beautiful. Putting up the patches with the kids - very special. Reflecting om 2020 - neat. What a perfect end of the year video. Bless you guys. ❤
consider shredding cardboard and using it as bedding for rabbits and chickens. It also works nicely as garden mulch if you wet it so it sticks to the ground a little. cardboard is so useful, hate to see it burned up.
Thank you, I'm a fan and sticking around for the garden and home build! The patch wall is truly incredible, asking God to watch over and protect every officer serving or retired. Adore you guys! Happy New Year! ✨💫✨🎊
Thank you my husband is a retired Deputy Sherriff.
You have accomplished so much in such a short time! Congratulations! It is only human to get overwhelmed and second guess yourself but you are doing great! Living your dream.
Those fires looked very warm and were quite beautiful.
You should do a really slow video pan of all the patches. Really interested in who sent in a patch. And thank you to you Jeremy and to all law enforcement officers and military personnel (past and present) thank you for keeping us all safe!
Little brother was born in Wallace Idaho in mid-1950s. Back then Wallace was known for it's large and robust "red-light" district for the local loggers, miners and ranchers. Whe he gets uppity, we remind him of Wallace.... lol
A bit of trivia.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Honestly, you're you tube cannel as well as another couple, Trent and Allie who also are building their own home are my favorites to watch. You're all better than watching anything on Netflix! Good luck on starting the build on your permanent home. Based on the way your tiny home came out, I have no doubt it will be spectacular! See you in 2021!
Try looking at Wild and Wonderful Off Grid. They built there own house and there family is awesome.
Try to watch Life uncontaine one couple is building their own house on off grid. In Texas....amazing
love Trent and Allie too!
Yes, I too love Life Uncontained, Trent and Allie, and Shawn James/Self Reliance. I haven't had TV for years and I love watching all these lovely couples/families striking out into unknown worlds, to achieve their hopes & dreams. It's so uplifting to the Spirit when people set out like pioneers, on adventures that we can vicariously live thru their videos. A happy, healthy, and Holy 2021 everyone. BLESSINGS from subtropics of Ipswich SEQueensland Australia 🤗🇦🇺👏🙏
You built more than a home in the mountains folks : )
A refuge from the world and Covid. Good choice 👍🏼
Consider painting the wall you have your patches on so they will stand out.
Since your crawlspace is about four feet deep, have you thought about framing another four feet above it for a basement? You can build your house above it with better views. Basements are taxed a lot less then living areas , and it will give you a lot of storage space attached to your house . It will also give your kids a lot of play space during the cold winter.
Your Property is beautiful.The most gorgeous views.Your so faithful to your family,land and animal's.Hope and pray you had a very Merry Christmas.May all stay healthy and safe.Blessings to the New Year and your Permanent Home.
You have inspired many with your adventure.. having your life turned upside down like that yet accomplishing so much.. making the most of everything walking into the unknown.. especially this year where many have seen their lives and livelihoods falling apart..they see there can be a different life and we can survive with another mindset.
You guys are living the dream. Your journey has inspired my husband and I to not let fear control us and chase our dream of homesteading. Thank you for sharing these videos.
Done with Tiny home, you energetically charge out there to burn slash piles. At age 59, I'd be thinking time for a nap. At least until new years. Watching your channel makes me happy.
Living life one day at a time is the blessing also being humble and grateful gives us peace 🙏❤️
This year watching your inspirational videos brought true joy to many of us when we needed it most. Thank you and Happy New Year.
Love watching you two. Your love for each other, the kids, and life itself warms my heart. God bless you all.
Im so happy for you guys. You stepped out and pushed through fear not allowing it to keep you back. Love that you are going to have a house with awsome mountain views. Hopefully with giant windows in every room to make the best of that gorgeous outdoors. God truly has blessed us all with nature.
All that ash might be good to spread all over the garden area once done finished burning etc. Just a thought to help condition your garden beds as I am sure you will also be getting into that this next year!
Rebecca Henkins, I was thinking the same thing, when I saw them burning all that wood and cardboard. I was going to comment and saw your comment. Great minds think alike ha ha. Wishing you all a happy, blessed, healthy New Year for 2021. I hope it is better than 2020.
That is the best man cave wall with the patch contributions from around the Country coming in.
Love the house signs too.
Patches, I am so jealous!!!!! I bought 1500 Air Force patches and some police patches. They can get expensive. Thanks for the nice video. I am real proud of your project and the plans for the house. Well, at least you have a place to live and a place to stage materials while you build. You are so lucky to have the time, skill and money that it takes to do this.
Oh bless you all. With your family you have built more than just a structure. You have built a life, memories, family lifestyle and love. Bless you! Happy new year!
The timing for your move was incredible. God is good!
I am loving this patch thing! I am the granddaughter of a firefighter.
that shot from the drone 8 seconds in is absolutely amazing. wish i could be living out in a beautiful place like that.
I hope and pray for all of you and our great country. I'm a disabled woman in my 60's, married to a wonderful man. We live pretty far away from our family. I have 3 kids and 3 grandkids. My eldest daughter got COVID about 4 months ago and is dealing with some after affects now, so it's hard to not be by her. I'm a Navy brat. My Dad was a Corpsman in the Navy, but most of his time was spent taking care of Marines. He did 4 tours in Viet Nam. My husband is also a Veteran. The Army. Two brothers, the Navy. Lol. 2 uncle's, and 3 cousins. 1 Marine and 2 Army. Anyway, I grew up knowing and learning respect, honor, faith, family, what our flag stands for, and most of all freedom. Your family reminds me of the other thing I learned, love for them all. You work hard, you have fun, and you love them all too. I can tell. My husband and I've talked alot about what we'd do when we retired. You're life sounds vaguely familiar. Lol. But, during my nursing career, something unfortunate happened. So plans changed. Watching your channel is good for me. I feel better. You make me smile and dream. I can't wait to see how your main home will turn out. And your gardens. I adore your sheep. Thank you for making me feel young again. Thank you for your service Jeremy!! I'm praying for 2021 to get figured out, and hopefully the way I hope. Freedom is the only way for this country. That's what we're all about. Take care and God Bless You and Keep You Safe and Well. 🙏❤️🙏
Thank so much. And thank you to you and your family for your collective service/sacrifice.
We moved from the suburbs of Houston to north Texas on (15 acres) 6 hours away! My kids saw snow for the first time today omg I was like a kid screaming right along with them. The sacrifice to live in a remote area to give your family a better more meaningful is priceless except....omg the internet is so bad we are the only home on our entire County Road, it was very raw land we started from scratch.
It's been a beautiful ❤️ journey and it's only just begun! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your adventures! Big hugs and lots of love from the Poirier family!
Thank you for being a part of it!!
@@GoodSimpleLiving it's our pleasure!
You might also want to take the brown cardboard boxes(those without any inks in them), take any tape or labels off and compost them over the winter for use in the garden next year as well. They also make good mulch.
May God continue to bless you all in 2021. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
I LOVE THIS FAMILY! Your videos always put a smile on my face!
One of the better DIY home build projects, I think the pole building was one of the smartest decisions and not jumping the gun to build the home too soon. One thing that I keep thinking about is the difficulties in raising 3 kids while doing this. Especially, your 13 y/o daughter, I know mine was difficult about change when she was that age.
We actually have 4 kids 😆
Some hints for future fires, scrub up potatoes, wrap in foil, wrap potatoes, tuck up in coals for a while. You will love how fluffy they bake up. Enjoy! Have your butter fluffed up, whip sour cream, crisp some bacon. A FEAST!!!
Potatoes on the fire so good!
The smaller critters love the slash piles. I have them all over my woods.
OMG ! Thank you for sharing your life --Recently stumbled across your videos and it’s been such an inspiration-- Thank you for being a beacon of what’s most important in this world -- Family-- The simple things --Freedom-- Self sufficiency -- True Americans --- GOD SPEED Always. 🛐🛐🛐
I really didn't think your life was all smiles, teases and flirting. There had to be some collapsing, groaning and some "no, no, not today!" You have all accomplished so much in one year. Thanks for the inspiration, laughs, and for sharing your lives. Happy New Year! 💕🎆🎊🎉
A great fire starter to keep on hand for brush piles can be made by soaking corncobs in used oil in an old coffee can. They are easy to light and burn for a while.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
I love the flirting, giggles and the love in your videos. You make me laugh at some of your silly antics. You make the work fun to watch. I look forward to watching your videos. May the Lord bless each of you richly in the coming year.
Oh and I’ve caught my husband looking over my shoulder watching your videos and I think he’s also enjoy your videos. He even started talking about getting chickens, a tractor and a Blue Healer. I’m like you gotta retire first old man. Four more years to go. He also was talking about living in a tiny home and I told him he’d have to build himself a man cave cause he doesn’t like to throw anything away. Happy New Year to each of you. Blessings of peace,joy and happiness to your family.
You should get a small propane torch for starting your wood stove. One that works off a 1pound tank. They sell them at Walmart and they are really cheap. You won’t regret it. Starting your fire will be so easy.
Winter/Early Spring is the BEST time to burn brush piles !
FYI for future burns invest in a leaf blower, Dramatically increases burn temps and cleans up the smoke. and you can steer the embers deeper into the pile.
You’re such a lovable family! So fun. HNY!
Hi Jeremy and Family , Merry Christmas . I just want to point out that one of the police patches is upside down . The one with the crown , (British Constabulary) Police Athletic Association .
Now you'll need to get snow chains for the tractor!
I remember cheering for 40k subs for you guys last year this time. You've come a long way! Great job guys. Do you guys feel like visiting about the tractor a little?
Would love to, pm us on facebook or drop is an email
@@GoodSimpleLiving I apologize. I was just curious in general. Hoping it was interesting enough for a video topic. No worries. Thank you though for your willingness to answer questions on it though!
@@JC-uq5gi we love this tractor, and plan to use it A LOT for our homestead and home development! Stay tuned!!!!
Love it! YOU guys are the ones who are such an encouraging voice. This is something I (along with I'm sure many others) have always dreamed of, but have not had the guts to go for. Thank YOU for the motivation, you guys are amazing
Love your channel. My wife and I are on the same path. We sold our house and are downsizing our life.im general contractor. I’m still Ems and fire.
Only regret is not doing it sooner.
Bless you and your family 🙏🇨🇦
Hilarious 😂😂 girl are you funny 🤣. She was grabbing those cheeks. Looking forward to all your wonderful house building coming up. Stay safe out there.
Oh, your hard work results are rewarding for us to watch and it is wonderful to watch you and your family be cozy and enjoy your handy work. At this point, no more trailor. It can only get better from here. That will be a beautiful housr and home.
Your videos are a total inspiration to us viewers. You are doing such a PRO job at entertaining and inspiring all of us who watch your Idaho adventures. KUDOS on what you are doing in all aspects. Respect and be well...
Thanks so much 😊 I think it's so fun that you started at the beginning! It's been such a long crazy journey.
You two are an inspiration for us your viewers. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You have a darling family. Looking forward to your build in 2021.
One of life’s biggest fears is the unknown. I have faith that you and your family will realize your dreams and goals. You work hard and don’t give up.
I’ve enjoyed watching your progress and love the humor in your videos. Be safe and have a blessed New Year.😎
Thanks for the great video guys. I can't begin to imagine how many people and families have been positively impacted by your vision and ability to make it come to fruition. I certainly am inspired by the thought and work put into this. Thanks so much for doing this now as it is very informative and helpful to my wife and me.
Godspeed and God bless you guys.
Cats Looove 🐈 📦 🗃 boxes! You were packing up the 😺 kitty's condo ! 😂❤ LOL ! 😊👍❤❤❤
Such a beautiful place to look at every day. The landscape is breathtaking.
You guys are the sweetest family.
UA-cam suggested your channel when I was searching for time lapse home renovation videos, it's been few days now I have watched almost all your videos and enjoyed every bit of it. Also, found your beautiful and talented daughter's channel... Subscribed to both the channels.
Your family is beautiful, Melissa 🥰❤️🙏 so are the pets and animals in your farm.
Much love and Godspeed on your dream house 😇
Thank you, so happy to have you along!
You guys definitely rocked 2020! If I can rock 2021 like that, we’ll be doing great!
Thank you guys for your complete honesty, and opening your lives to share with all of us. We pray that 2021 is an amazingly blessed year for you. We love it! It is inspirational for us, even though we are pushing our 60s, it inspires us to chase our dreams of homesteading.
Use the plain brown boxes on the bottom of your raised beds. Just remove any tape or labels. It will keep the weeds down.
Hoping all the socks fit. And that you still have a few tortillas.
Mama Sue here!! I seriously can’t stop laughing from watching your little pats on the butt to a tackle throw down! This is another keeper to go back and watch to cheer me up! I’m having knee replacement tomorrow and this is just the dose of medicine I needed! I wore it out by playing so I will be back good as new! I hope your Christmas was everything you wanted it to be and I cannot wait to be entertained with your new house build! 2021 is going to be the best year ever! Love you guys like my own!❤️😘
Fast healing 🙏🏽
Your channel is so inspiring. Praying God brings forth all the finances you need to complete your main house. Such good stewards of His goodness!
You both bring joy and laughter to this sorry state in this world. May your family flourish lots of love to you all, cant wait to watch your journey thank you for sharing. xx
I so enjoy your channel! Y’all have worked hard & accomplished much this year. Well on your way to achieving your dreams. Your land is so beautiful. The views are breathtaking! I am so glad to see Jeremy wearing protective gear, especially the chaps. I see so many not wearing them & I worry about them every time. I wish only positive things for your family this coming year.
Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Haaaaa! Jeremy looks like an old farmer on the tractor. Good work you two for the past year. The big move in April to the property and getting the tiny home ready. Planning for the new year. Everything falling into place. Good Simple Living! Just love the progress. Keep it up you two and the kids too! Praying for your safety and a better life there in Northern Idaho!
I can't get over how good your videos are!!! ❤
Aww thank you, means more to us than you know!
@@GoodSimpleLiving Quality so amazing...like watching a reality show!
Y'all have been a bright spot in my days of self isolation for most of 2020, I've lived vicariously through your videos. Good Simple Living has been a symbolic torch for many who struggle to attain the unattainable, but we embrace the desire to succeed, as you've shown us your courage to persevere. Happy you had a wonderful Christmas & pray the New Year will bring you many Blessings in your journey...
❤
When you get a garden build raised beds with sheet metal and make hugeldorf beds, with organic material to build up compost in the beds then top it off with garden soil,. You'll get better produce and will save your back. Many homesteaders / gardeners are going to these type beds.
So in the mid 1950’s my dad and grandfather were clearing land, made huge slash piles and put tires around the piles with a little bit of diesel fuel and lit them off
Well he threw a match in one and nothing happened so he poured a little fuel into the tires and the flames came out and got him
He had severe burns over 40% of his body and they didn’t know if he’d make it
He had skin graphs etc
Just be careful when burning the piles around your place
its nice to see that you guys as a couple can still have a great time together joking and playing around even with all you've done
All the best and may God give you all a blessed 2021 and I cannot wait until your home build you have both done really well
Those drone shots though! Man the mountains are really looking good.
We move in 4 weeks! I'm so excited to get our homestead started.
Jeremy does
Who Dares, Wins! I’m so happy for all your success on taking a chance on faith. Happy New Year and prayers for continued success.
What an incredible year you have had! Isn’t it cool though to be able to look at how far you’ve come? I know the coming year will bring its share of discouragement and challenges, but all you need to remember is that when a family joins together, you can accomplish great things. I’m looking forward to following your journey. Be blessed!
U two r such a beautiful couple!!! Always happy with a smile on your faces!!!
I love you guys; your affection for each other, your lovely kids, the hard work you have been doing- everything :) A really amazing year to have followed you. I am sure you have inspired many other young families to be brave, grasp the nettle and take big steps in their lives. I wish you a very happy and successful 2021!
Paint the wall and the patches will stand out great . Congratulations on finishing your tiny home . God Bless 🇺🇸❤
Watching her go up the hill was so funny. I just love watching the both of you. Watch the fire burn. Happy New Year.
You're my favourite homesteaders, always feel good after watching you guys so up beat and positive, great people.
You both are great people!! Keep the video's coming and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
You guys have the best goofy together... You have given all of us a better 2020 than it would have been without you!
Nothing like living the dream. GOD shower y'all with blessings 🙏♥️⚘👍😎
Thank for all enjoyable videos and smiles we have recieved watching them.
I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY YOUR DREAMS OF BUILDING YOUR HOME WILL HAPPEN AS YOU BOTH WANT BECAUSE YOU BOTH DESERVE IT YOU ARE SUCH HARD WORKING COUPLE AND OMG JUST THE 2 OF YOU BUILD THAT TINY HOUSE I WAS HERE FROM YOUR FIRST DAY WHEN YOU MOVED OUT OF YOUR HOME AND WENT TO YOUR PLACE THERE I AM JUST SO PROUD OF WATCHING HOW WONDERFUL YOU GUYS DID STAY STRONG AND SAFE AND BLESS AND WARM LOVE YOU ALL KEEP THOSE AMAZING VIDEOS COMING
I love you guys , special couple and working together doing something the family !!! Such good example for everyone .

May God's blessings be with & upon you & your family as we enter into 2021. Can't wait to see what we'll accomplish in this New Year. Love you guys!🥰💗
Tip. next time use a paper cup for the dessel or gas. So you can throw it right into the pile each time so it cant climb back to your arm... it's a lesson you dont want to learn the way my hubby did! 🤣. We did our burn a few days ago aswell!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Not boogie kisses😲😯😂😂, the wall is beautiful ty to all the law officers out there🥰, and can't wait to see your new adventures in 2021 may it be better for us all🙏
