    We bought an old ranch home a couple of years ago on two acres with the thought that if our grown kids and their families needed a place to live they can come here. You were our inspiration for doing so. We upgraded the junction box, replaced all the water lines and gas lines, repaired the pole barn and small outbuilding, put in a carport by the side porch as use to sit, cook outdoors, and park the vehicles away from hail, heat, snow, and ice, put in a hidden storage area for food, water, and firewood, installed gfci plugs, and put in a new water heater. We are not off grid, but it is the best we knew how to do in our seventies. The carport that was built adjacent to the house was taken in as living space and if needed can be made into three additional bedrooms. We are ready for anything that comes our way. We are surrounded by rivers for water. Thank you Shawn for your educating us these past few years on how to be self reliant.

    Still following you at Rosalia’s Mexican Restaurant in SC! Started following you when I was going through a very hard time mentally and emotionally. Dealing with a LOT of anxiety. You inspired and encouraged me. Despite failure. Despite defeat GET UP! Make it happen. I went from sitting in an apartment to now being a land owner (around 50 acres total now). It’s still hard every day but I’m IN THE FIGHT. EVERY DAY! Thanks be to God for putting YOU in front of ME! May your family be blessed. May your fields and orchards and vineyards be blessed. May you prosper and inspire and teach. May you also learn. May peace rule over you all the days of your long life. In Jesus Name. Amen.

    Ive been watching this channel for many years enthralled with what you were doing and hoping someday i could take a similar path. My wife and I with our youngest son fly out in 2 days to spend 1.5weeks looking at 50+ acre properties to start our homestead on. Nervous? SO NERVOUS, somehow happy and excited about the potential of leaving a 25+yr career with great pay and benefits to live closer to the land and with far less reliance on others to ensure my family has food. Your channel and a few others like Simple living Alaska have been my happy place for so long while i live most of my life in the concrete box dreaming of one day doing that as well. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your videos and one things for sure ill still be watching in what little time i have between chores/projects as we build our homestead! Much love from Florida (my hell on earth weather wise) soon to be northern Maine!

    I'm in the UK 🥲 my family has 110 acres of land in north Thailand.. Sounds tempting but a totally different way of life 💥

    You will need a good tight tall fence for goats, Shawn.

    Hi Shawn,
    I know you're trying to explain what you are doing with your channels and homesteads but I think that you're missing just a few details that would really clear things up.
    For example you mentioned that your cabin isnt going to be the main residence, maybe a family compound if it needs to be... does that mean you have another cabin/home elsewhere? If so have we seen any of that property ? Is that where the larger vegetable garden and chickens are located? Is your cabin now just a secondary building which is why your not in a hurry to build the main bedroom extension or at least not showing that? Is Emily's cabin on one of your properties or does she have her own property?
    I had a better understanding of what was going on at the last cabin as you were very clear about what you were doing and how it was laid and the overhead drone shots were great too.
    No matter what you choose to share with us its great viewing and very interesting as we can't do anything like this where I'm from in Australia.
    And how is Emily going with her concussion recovery? Last update I saw she was still experiencing symptoms. Hopefully she's sought further opinions on the injury, as long term concussion issues aren't great

    Hi, James! Enjoy your subject matters returning to more focus on 'projects'. Many Thanks! Question please ~ While I'm familiar with the chronological development of your properties ............. I do not understand where the Big Beautiful Garden and Chicken Mansion are located? Is this Garden at the ranch house that you built during the pandemic? Many Tks, Doyle

    Hey Shawn, Maybe do a tie in with the show Barnwood Builders on this old cabin ? They would (no pun he he ) likely be interested in this property if it need any attention or repairs... Cali seems to approve of the place !

    Regarding Solar... In the future I would go adjustable ground mount, with either the new Midnite 12KW AIO or the EG4 18k and build out the batteries as diy to save money from basengreen or if you need self heating batteries buy Ruixu. Best bang for the buck

    I'm confused?? Are you and your sister's properties side-by-side? Are you neighbors? Are your two properties connected? I'm trying to understand how everything connects?
