I have to tell you, your daughters are truly amazing. My hat is off to you and your family. There is no way the kids you see on TV today could even come close to competing with them.
Not many people have done this stuff but I have for 50 years. Trouble when you start to get over the hill you look back and think I could do that once upon a time. I did do that a hundred times. Hubnting the elk with the horses like they did earlier. One of my daughters did that, like a squirell on top of that horse goign up thouugh nasty forest. We fell on horses but they were ours and our buddy's and we took care of each other. And we packed off hundreds of elk. I have to teach the Grandkids now, they ride like their Mom already. My only Grand-daughter is old enough this year for her first elk hunt. Hope I can hang on to pass on the thousand skills I learned the hard way to the boys. Nothing more wonderful than hunting in mountains like that, free, clean air, and beauty.
Love the way you treat your girls, not like girls or boys but young people who want and need to learn. You've also given them the freedom to find what they are good at and what they like to do. Respect!
OMGosh - - I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. My heart is so full that my eyes are overflowing. Thank you so-o-o much for sharing this. Your girls were so young and y'all took a chance to give them a wonderful life of tremendous memories and skills. You Are AWESOME Parents. We have been working for the last bit in order to sell our place and move out to the country. What stops a lot of people is FEAR of the unknown and new. Like a caterpillar in a cocoon, we only break free when it becomes too uncomfortable. Take a chance - Let go of the fear - Live YOUR dreams - Start today
@@4philipp I hear ya. Don't sneeze, or cough / laugh hard. I blame child births, cause ya know "I'm ageless". LOL Or the other is "Like fine wine and cheese, I get better with age". Unfortunately my brie aged to melting point about 10 or 15 years ago. Hahaha
Did just that. 30 years ago. Now at 60 years old we are building another off grid homestead.Your loving care for your family is very obvious. We raised our six sons in the woods of Oregon with no regrets. It is by far the best way to live. Work? Absolutely but on your own terms that is best for your family. Right on !
@Hank Scorpio We have never dealt with a pandemic in this fashion. The damage we are doing by locking down is not worth the benefit. we are ruining our immune systems. This is just a political game to make the Trump look bad. I live just comfortably out of the city. The numbers do not add up to the irrational response. I only know of 3 people that have been effected. These cases were 2 young persons who could barely tell they were sick and 1 77 year old woman that had been on oxygen in a home that beat it. I live in the show me state. I haven't seen it yet.
Sir, we envy you and your family! Living the way God meant us to. Hard work, clean living, and, most importantly to me, teaching your kids how to WORK and appreciate life! These will be kids that aren't entitled, spoiled, or coddled, but rather hardy, happy, and appreciative. Well done Mom and Dad!
Your enjoyment of life will have such a tremendous affect on your children for the GOOD! We raised 4 on a homestead and home schooled them 100% now we have 1 MD 1 PHD 1 Chemist and 1 Management. Keep having fun in life.

I have been watching your videos for well over a year now. Rose and Jeff are the perfect mother and father. They raise their daughters teaching them that they can do anything. To me they are the closest thing to a perfect family. Their daughters can have opinions without fear of reprisal. Whenever they are pushed Jeff and Rose know that their daughters can do it. If they fall, they pick them up and help them and encourage them to complete the task at hand. I truly believe there's nothing these girls can't accomplish. They can look to their parents who have cut out a little piece of the Earth and made it their home. Much respect to the whole family.
@@Gridlessness I meant every word from the bottom of my heart. I send my friends with kids to your channel. I actually believe it helps them to be more patient with their kids and gives them a willingness to let their children grow. You two are really an inspiration for many. Keep the videos coming. We all love them.

NOW MY KIDS ARE GROWN, ALL THAT TIME HAS PASSED AND IM FINALLY ON MY LAND WITH NO DEBT, ONLY A FEW YEARS TO RETIREMENT, WORN OUT BUT STILL TRYING. OWNING THE LAND IS KEY.

Such a beautiful man & wife, with very beautiful daughters, living a beautiful life together! Jeff & Rose are living proof that through sacrifice & hardwork you can make your dream life come true. Thank you both for sharing your wonderful story. A story that has many more years to create many more beautiful & wonerful stories!
This worked for them because of the girls... not despite them... One real cool cat, one great cat and her box-o-kittens. I am so happy for them. What a wonderful Saturday morning story...
If you consider the world to be a zero sum game, then debt is the only factor driving growth. An unlimited resource that doesn’t really exists. So would we still live the 1800’s dream without debt? Poverty is not defined by what you have, but by how much (or little) you can borrow. Which in turn is defined by your ability and likelihood to repay it.
@@4philipp I've lived my whole life pretty much debt free. Now that I'm old I've got more money than I could ever spend and all my relatives who lived on credit can barely pay their bills.
The basic premise and assumption there gets people in trouble. We cannot forget our Creator, our Judge and our Redeemer. To assume that the fruitfulness of the earth is simply a zero sum game, and debt is the only expansion tool (never mind the basic premise that what cannot go on forever won't) is a really poor way to look at things, in a literal sense. Be blessed mate, there is more going on here
What?! Did I miss a greenhouse building video? I smiled the whole time I watched this! Truly the wealthiest people on earth.❤️ Beautiful, beautiful job with the gardens, Rose! The girls are so precious at every age! Love to you all!😘 Oh, my goodness...was that a young Dave? Such an amazing testimony. Such wisdom.
This is so awesome! Weird how as a grown man this can bring tears to my eyes. If more people only knew that it’s not just about being debt free living in the woods. There’s so much more! Our family is so glad your family shared your life. We didn’t realize we could actually live like this. You have by far impacted our family and helped pave our way to our own wilderness living adventure. Thank you Gridlessness Family!
Just finished a summer living out in bush camps in northern BC and AB and have totally fallen in love with this remote living. I loved living so in tune with nature and away from the excess and overwhelming hustle of the cities. As a young student I can totally imaging a future of wanting to settle off grid and do something different than the mainstream. I dream of one day moving up north and building my own home. Thank you for sharing your content and inspiring people like me! What your family has done is truly awesome!
Rip Van Winkle is a story about a man who fell asleep under a tree for 20 years... that is what having a job is like you don't fall Asleep under a tree but you sleep walk through your life for 20 or 30 years and you wake up and realize that life is over and has passed you by. All the time you missed with your family and the time missed with your kids. This is what Rip Van Winkle means to me...... It's the same message your trying to tell people here. To take back their lives is what I get from your message. Cheers and blessings to your family for sharing and caring. Rip Van Winkle By Washington Irving
you have running water there. You should look into Ram Pumps. Doesnt use any electricity or electronics. Just a very simple mechanical device that can pump water uphill, using the flowing water and gravity. You could probably have a flushing toilet using a ram pump to supply the water
This reminds me of my brother and his family and my mom who went off grid back in 1975. I joined them a year+ later after I graduated high school. Best experience I ever had. SO much one can learn and do if they simply try. I love that you are showing others what can be done if you want something and the best one can do is at least try. That is the only way to grow and know what one is capable of! Such a lovely family!
Two smart people who are willing to work and make commitments to each other and to a sustainable future for their children? Who would have thought that could work? Your children are the big winners here.
This is a truly beautiful, awesome story. Thanks for sharing. Your family has life's market cornered. Through my eyes, you are a billionaire, possibly the world's richest family. Keep up the great work, adventures, and especially the videos. I thoroughly enjoy watching them all. Thank you to the whole family. God's speed.
I just wrote in one of your videos that I had never seen one of your videos, but now that I think of it I have. I am so envious. Your girls are beautiful. When on camera they just beam rays of light,. They seem so happy and well adjusted. How wonderful you have them out trying to be self sufficient and not polluted by the world or as much as possible avoiding all of the outside influences.
Excellent. My wife and I pretty much did the same in New Brunswick. We even lived in a tent for 3 months while I built our offgrid house. I never want to see a tent again. 😒😄 We will never go back to the grind. Both of us are self employed now and I only take on carpentry jobs when I feel like making some extra money otherwise I just work our little paradise which includes 50 large maple to make maple syrup. I hunt and fish too. Doesn't get any better.
Greetings from New Zealand 🙏I’m soo impressed. You’re an awesome example of a MAN. I can’t help but see such an evenness in Rosie and those Girls. Rosie and her children are soo sweet. Good on You Sir. Love you guys. Much more blessings to Ya!
First off you Sir, are great fun to watch. You have a very creative and positive mind, very inspiring. l'll be watching more of you and your beautiful family! Thanks for sharing your journey, and God bless!
Jeff, you are so much better off then any millionaire you cannot buy the happiness you have found it's like you looked ahead to see the future for you and your family and found it, my god, what an amazing thing to find I envy you and please if times get rough don't eat Dave,
You guys are amazing, you make feel so envious, not the sinful envy at all. I feel as though I have wasted my life worrying where the next meal will come from for my family. You have proven that a lot of hard work at the start makes it possible to make a difference in the future. You are my heroes. All the way from South Africa. May our God continue to bless you abundantly. ✝️🙏👏🙌👨👩👦🌹
Those girls and that wife of your Jeff, honestly you guys fill my heart. You're my every day inspiration. This channel helped me through a very dark time last year and kept me motivated to get well, because seeing you live my dream every day makes me realize I also can achieve it. We don't have the equity in a home to sell to buy the land, but we're plugging away best we can and eventually we'll get there! We already immigrated to BC, so we are definitely serious about it. It's more freedom 45 for us, but better late than never. Thanks for sharing you guys, you've had such an impact on me and no doubt many others here :)
Rose you are sooo beautiful and I think you are the first reason You should be proud of your daughters, they are very beautiful and it is the dream of every man to live with such a person GOD bless you and your family
Well, that's it. I'm hooked. Anybody who dislikes this video can't be all right upstairs. Keep em coming. I am subscribing, and I never do that! I have shared with my daughter and son in law. They are looking for alternatives as well. There is so much prudential wisdom in what you share on this vid. You are indeed living a rich lifestyle. Your girls will be eternally grateful for what you have given them. God Bless you all!
I love your story. When I was a teenager I would have happily moved to the bush and lived off grid. No problem for me, it’s what I wanted. My husband had a different idea though. We were not city people and we lived in a tiny town but he liked his electricity. We did have rainwater tanks connected to the house. Our house was very cheap and over 70 years old but on a quarter acre of land. We raised chickens for eggs and I had a large vegetable garden. As we got older and could finally afford more land we bought a 16 acre plot at 45 years of age. We built a big house on it but all the kiddos had left home so we were in too deep of debt for nothing. We sold it and moved to a 5 acre farm with a decent old house (20 years old) and we added solar electricity to our roof to save money. We still had a small mortgage at 55 but it was manageable. We raised alpacas and still had chickens, vegetables garden and a huge orchard. Life was finally at a point where we could enjoy it. But, then I had a bad accident and needed lots of surgeries to help me to walk. I already had arthritis but staying busy was keeping it in check. I didn’t get to enjoy the farm for long and it was all left to my husband to run. We struggled for several years and then 3 years ago I lost my husband so I had to sell the farm and move into town. I was 62 before I was free of debt but all I had was a tiny 3 bedroom basic house on a tiny plot in a busy town. I am grateful that I have a home. I am raising three grandchildren so they love having a stable home. They miss the farm, like me. I just wish we had taken the chance to move out Bush when our kiddos were little. You did it at the right time.
God bless you and your girls and thank Him for keeping you all safe and providing meat for you as you all develop more skills and abilities. Great way for your family to live and grow. Wish I lived a bit further south (by a about a thousand miles) so we could be neighbors. No elk here,
Here's some positivity. UA-cam has algorithms and one of them posts dislikes. The dislikes are not counted against the channel they are counted as likes.
Great video. Changing how we think and see options instead of roadblocks is huge. Appreciating what you have versus focusing on what you don't have. When people tell me I am living the dream I sometimes correct them and say, I am working the dream. The reality of a simpler lifestyle is there is a lot of work and a lot of doing things the hard way. I really enjoy that bu some people might not. However, every time I go outside and watch the grand-kids play in what we built or we eat a meal that we grew or harvested, I am reminded of why I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
Just sold our home, moved out to our 70 acres and our cabin, 90 percent debt free and off grid, life is much better and happier off grid. Been working for 5 years to get to this point.
Your daughters are amazing. They work hard and seem to enjoy it and they all have beautiful smiles. They look so much like their mother. I enjoy watching your videos. I absolutely love the video showing your wife and 5 daughters riding on the 4-wheeler. I think this is your best video ever.
Many ppl envy your life I know I do! Make me wish I had did this years ago. Love your family and how you all work so hard to get where you are today. Gonna love seeing your family grow when your daughters add to the property with a husband and grand babies
Good Morning To All ! Love the videos. Rose , your a women of few words BUT I would say when you “roar” the family listens. 😉 Beautiful family ❤️ Take Care Be Safe Be Well. Bless you all. 👍👍👍😊
thanks for reminding me what the dream is! I'm currently in that working phase. Just trying to get ahead in order to live this kind of life in the future!
I would like to see Rose running the camera and give us her view of things. Were you guys out there after Dave and his wife were already there? This channel is the best one one UA-cam, hands down.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with us. I calculated quickly just in mortgage, land taxes and house insurance what we have paid out in the 9 years on our hobby farm and the total is enough to make me feel ill. I’m tried of working to make everyone else’s life easy but still stay so hard for us. My man lived off grid for 17 years before we got together and I lived off grid for two years as a child. I want this life again so badly... it’s time to stop wasting our life’s paying and paying everyone but ourselves. And with everything going on in the world now I personally would like to distance myself. PS love your place! You guys have done an amazing job! Love all your video’s. keep up the good work!
Hey thanks for all you and the fam do. My wife and I have 3 young girls and I got mercury poisoning which really pointed us down a road of ancestral diet and getting our hands in the soil. Appreciate your encouragement and hope our family can finally get out of debt and move forward with more peace and joy in our lives. 🙏
Hard work and the ability to sacrifice for a while and you and Family had an incredible Home. You Sir are an incredible man with a beautiful family. You truly are rich. Thank you
Hey guys , my husband n i just love ur videos /family , N dad u r crazy funny 👍🏽👍🏽 I mean ur wife deserves a medal lol We hope to meet u all one day Honestly thank u for sharing ur journey 💫
Very beautiful story, everything looks Amazingly beautiful inside and outside ,your children's are Amazing wife is a beautiful woman your friend Dave he is a dear friend of the family God Bless
People rarely stop to think about the true cost of our conveniences. They're really not so convenient when you think of it that way. It has always blown my mind that people will work for 30 years to pay for a house, when you could build one mostly from materials around you in about a year. A well set up off grid system isn't nearly as hard in day to day life as you'd think. And I mean non electric- not even solar. But the FREEDOM, oh the freedom. That's the most amazing part- and the security!
Amazing!!! Single dad homestead mentioned your channel a little while ago. I am so happy he did. I am going to watch your videos with my 11 year old. Your daughters are a wonderful example for him 🥰
The most important and valuable thing you do have there is your family. They can never be replaced, not for all the land and money in the world! That's I love watching you guys and how much you teach your kids. They are more capable than some 50 year old guys I know! Well done!
Cheers to you and your beautiful family. Those children are smiling and happy, and so are both of you parents. To be at one with yourselves, your land, and the planet is where we as humans used to be. I think it's time more of us leave the rat race, get our hands in the dirt, and be doers instead of workers. You inspire us!! Keep smiling.
you guys have done an amazing job at setting up your gridlessness homestead and the girls are also amazing with all the hard work that they contribute to the life of being a successful homesteader, great job y 'all
I love you guys and I am so proud of your daughters as if they are my grandchildern. The love you show towards your wife and she to you is beautiful. I am 75yrs bedridden and live and enjoy life through You Tube channels and yours is one of my favourite. Rose's smile is so capturing that if you could bottle it for sale, your family will be millionaires over night. Come on give us more videos. Love your off road trip to the lakes.

Thank you both for sharing your wonderful story. A story that has many more years to create many more beautiful & wonerful stories!
This worked for them because of the girls... not despite them... One real cool cat, one great cat and her box-o-kittens. I am so happy for them. What a wonderful Saturday morning story...
The thing I like most about your story is how content everyone looked during the video. Always having a chuckle is just icing on the cake.
Spot on about debt. I think it's one of the biggest problems with our contemporary culture, and it goes way beyond just the math.
If you consider the world to be a zero sum game, then debt is the only factor driving growth. An unlimited resource that doesn’t really exists.
So would we still live the 1800’s dream without debt?
Poverty is not defined by what you have, but by how much (or little) you can borrow. Which in turn is defined by your ability and likelihood to repay it.
@@4philipp I've lived my whole life pretty much debt free. Now that I'm old I've got more money than I could ever spend and all my relatives who lived on credit can barely pay their bills.
The basic premise and assumption there gets people in trouble. We cannot forget our Creator, our Judge and our Redeemer. To assume that the fruitfulness of the earth is simply a zero sum game, and debt is the only expansion tool (never mind the basic premise that what cannot go on forever won't) is a really poor way to look at things, in a literal sense.
Be blessed mate, there is more going on here
What?! Did I miss a greenhouse building video? I smiled the whole time I watched this! Truly the wealthiest people on earth.❤️ Beautiful, beautiful job with the gardens, Rose! The girls are so precious at every age! Love to you all!😘 Oh, my goodness...was that a young Dave? Such an amazing testimony. Such wisdom.
This ladies and gentlemen we call a real Life!
This is so awesome! Weird how as a grown man this can bring tears to my eyes. If more people only knew that it’s not just about being debt free living in the woods. There’s so much more! Our family is so glad your family shared your life. We didn’t realize we could actually live like this. You have by far impacted our family and helped pave our way to our own wilderness living adventure. Thank you Gridlessness Family!
hope we all live long enough to see you all playing with your grand children god bless.
I just looked at my husband and said, ‘I legit love this family.’ You guys are SO inspiring! And your daughters are SO cool and confident!
This UA-cam channel deserves a Million Subscribers!!!
Just finished a summer living out in bush camps in northern BC and AB and have totally fallen in love with this remote living. I loved living so in tune with nature and away from the excess and overwhelming hustle of the cities. As a young student I can totally imaging a future of wanting to settle off grid and do something different than the mainstream. I dream of one day moving up north and building my own home. Thank you for sharing your content and inspiring people like me! What your family has done is truly awesome!
I so loved this...seeing the your start...and the girls so young...but working hard...you and your bride are what every parent should be
Rip Van Winkle is a story about a man who fell asleep under a tree for 20 years... that is what having a job is like you don't fall Asleep under a tree but you sleep walk through your life for 20 or 30 years and you wake up and realize that life is over and has passed you by. All the time you missed with your family and the time missed with your kids. This is what Rip Van Winkle means to me......
It's the same message your trying to tell people here. To take back their lives is what I get from your message.
Cheers and blessings to your family for sharing and caring.

nicely done taking the power back . Excellent lifestyle . Your daughters lives will all be much better for it
you have running water there. You should look into Ram Pumps.
Doesnt use any electricity or electronics. Just a very simple mechanical device that can pump water uphill, using the flowing water and gravity.
You could probably have a flushing toilet using a ram pump to supply the water
I wish that I grew up with parents like Jeff and Rose. Things would've be much simpler and happier. My hat is off to you both.
Wow,,,,what a great family,,,,your girls are awesome and your a terrific dad,and teacher,,,,love your wife too !!!!!!!
What a brilliant uptake to speed as to where you and your family are at and why...forever thankful for finding you and your uplifting channel..🤗
That took some guts, from you and from your lovely wife my man...all the best, keep it up👍👌✊
This reminds me of my brother and his family and my mom who went off grid back in 1975. I joined them a year+ later after I graduated high school. Best experience I ever had. SO much one can learn and do if they simply try.
I love that you are showing others what can be done if you want something and the best one can do is at least try. That is the only way to grow and know what one is capable of! Such a lovely family!
Two smart people who are willing to work and make commitments to each other and to a sustainable future for their children? Who would have thought that could work? Your children are the big winners here.
Love the energy of your channel ✨️. There's a lot of video on UA-cam but this all feels genuinely wholesome. Respect man. 🙏
This is a truly beautiful, awesome story. Thanks for sharing. Your family has life's market cornered. Through my eyes, you are a billionaire, possibly the world's richest family. Keep up the great work, adventures, and especially the videos. I thoroughly enjoy watching them all. Thank you to the whole family. God's speed.
Hard to find wife that support you so much like her...Bless you all....love you very much.
I just wrote in one of your videos that I had never seen one of your videos, but now that I think of it I have. I am so envious. Your girls are beautiful. When on camera they just beam rays of light,. They seem so happy and well adjusted. How wonderful you have them out trying to be self sufficient and not polluted by the world or as much as possible avoiding all of the outside influences.
Excellent. My wife and I pretty much did the same in New Brunswick. We even lived in a tent for 3 months while I built our offgrid house.
I never want to see a tent again. 😒😄
We will never go back to the grind.
Both of us are self employed now and I only take on carpentry jobs when I feel like making some extra money otherwise I just work our little paradise which includes 50 large maple to make maple syrup.
I hunt and fish too.
Doesn't get any better.
Greetings from New Zealand 🙏I’m soo impressed. You’re an awesome example of a MAN. I can’t help but see such an evenness in Rosie and those Girls. Rosie and her children are soo sweet. Good on You Sir. Love you guys. Much more blessings to Ya!
"If you need to get into the woods, you need to go NOW!" I love it. Pure, awe inspiring, lovely, pleasant to watch and listen to.
I love all of it. We are in our 70s, but I love the camping, gardening, fishing and hunting and all of the family activities.
First off you Sir, are great fun to watch.
You have a very creative and positive mind, very inspiring. l'll be watching more of you and your beautiful family! Thanks for sharing your journey, and God bless!
Jeff, you are so much better off then any millionaire you cannot buy the happiness you have found it's like you looked ahead to see the future for you and your family and found it, my god, what an amazing thing to find I envy you and please if times get rough don't eat Dave,
You guys are amazing, you make feel so envious, not the sinful envy at all. I feel as though I have wasted my life worrying where the next meal will come from for my family.
You have proven that a lot of hard work at the start makes it possible to make a difference in the future. You are my heroes.
All the way from South Africa.
May our God continue to bless you abundantly. ✝️🙏👏🙌👨👩👦🌹
Beautiful story
Words are from my heart
Those girls and that wife of your Jeff, honestly you guys fill my heart. You're my every day inspiration. This channel helped me through a very dark time last year and kept me motivated to get well, because seeing you live my dream every day makes me realize I also can achieve it. We don't have the equity in a home to sell to buy the land, but we're plugging away best we can and eventually we'll get there! We already immigrated to BC, so we are definitely serious about it. It's more freedom 45 for us, but better late than never. Thanks for sharing you guys, you've had such an impact on me and no doubt many others here :)
That’s fantastic! All the best in your adventure
your daugthers are wonderfull its wondering me by such fathers...
Rose you are sooo beautiful and I think you are the first reason
You should be proud of your daughters, they are very beautiful and it is the dream of every man to live with such a person
GOD bless you and your family
Well, that's it. I'm hooked. Anybody who dislikes this video can't be all right upstairs. Keep em coming. I am subscribing, and I never do that! I have shared with my daughter and son in law. They are looking for alternatives as well. There is so much prudential wisdom in what you share on this vid. You are indeed living a rich lifestyle. Your girls will be eternally grateful for what you have given them. God Bless you all!
I love your story. When I was a teenager I would have happily moved to the bush and lived off grid. No problem for me, it’s what I wanted. My husband had a different idea though. We were not city people and we lived in a tiny town but he liked his electricity. We did have rainwater tanks connected to the house. Our house was very cheap and over 70 years old but on a quarter acre of land. We raised chickens for eggs and I had a large vegetable garden. As we got older and could finally afford more land we bought a 16 acre plot at 45 years of age. We built a big house on it but all the kiddos had left home so we were in too deep of debt for nothing. We sold it and moved to a 5 acre farm with a decent old house (20 years old) and we added solar electricity to our roof to save money. We still had a small mortgage at 55 but it was manageable. We raised alpacas and still had chickens, vegetables garden and a huge orchard. Life was finally at a point where we could enjoy it. But, then I had a bad accident and needed lots of surgeries to help me to walk. I already had arthritis but staying busy was keeping it in check. I didn’t get to enjoy the farm for long and it was all left to my husband to run. We struggled for several years and then 3 years ago I lost my husband so I had to sell the farm and move into town. I was 62 before I was free of debt but all I had was a tiny 3 bedroom basic house on a tiny plot in a busy town. I am grateful that I have a home. I am raising three grandchildren so they love having a stable home. They miss the farm, like me. I just wish we had taken the chance to move out Bush when our kiddos were little. You did it at the right time.
Hard work pays off! Such an inspiring family. Be blessed!
Everyday I check for your new video. I never get bored watching your family video.
God bless you and your girls and thank Him for keeping you all safe and providing meat for you as you all develop more skills and abilities. Great way for your family to live and grow. Wish I lived a bit further south (by a about a thousand miles) so we could be neighbors. No elk here,
Im always curious of who the small handfull of thumbs down people are? Sad for them! Keep up the good videos!
Oh those guys were upset that the video wasn't longer :)
@@superfluityme i like your positivity👍
Here's some positivity. UA-cam has algorithms and one of them posts dislikes. The dislikes are not counted against the channel they are counted as likes.
@@superfluityme I was going to say this: You know most people today are not able to watch a single video for longer than 30 seconds.
I really enjoy your video’s and I pray that always smile with your family ✌️
Big fan from Germany 🇩🇪
Rose..................God, what a woman!
Great video. Changing how we think and see options instead of roadblocks is huge. Appreciating what you have versus focusing on what you don't have. When people tell me I am living the dream I sometimes correct them and say, I am working the dream. The reality of a simpler lifestyle is there is a lot of work and a lot of doing things the hard way. I really enjoy that bu some people might not. However, every time I go outside and watch the grand-kids play in what we built or we eat a meal that we grew or harvested, I am reminded of why I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
A salary is a bribe they give you..... to give up on your dreams
just love your family so much, esp the girls!
Don't forget Dave... 🙂
Just sold our home, moved out to our 70 acres and our cabin, 90 percent debt free and off grid, life is much better and happier off grid. Been working for 5 years to get to this point.
Your daughters are amazing. They work hard and seem to enjoy it and they all have beautiful smiles. They look so much like their mother. I enjoy watching your videos. I absolutely love the video showing your wife and 5 daughters riding on the 4-wheeler. I think this is your best video ever.
I really appreciate the chemistry ,it's awesome and amazing . I always enjoy to watching your videos in your UA-cam channel.
How everyone should live and how every family should be. I love the honesty and simplicity that most of us crave.
Many ppl envy your life I know I do! Make me wish I had did this years ago. Love your family and how you all work so hard to get where you are today. Gonna love seeing your family grow when your daughters add to the property with a husband and grand babies
Beautiful family great values. Will keep watching .
Good Morning To All ! Love the videos. Rose , your a women of few words BUT I would say when you “roar” the family listens. 😉 Beautiful family ❤️ Take Care Be Safe Be Well. Bless you all. 👍👍👍😊
thanks for reminding me what the dream is! I'm currently in that working phase. Just trying to get ahead in order to live this kind of life in the future!
Awesome Mckenzie! All the best to you
You sir are blessed 🙌
Beautiful property, beautiful wife, extraordinary kids. You have it all. Well done!!
I would like to see Rose running the camera and give us her view of things. Were you guys out there after Dave and his wife were already there? This channel is the best one one UA-cam, hands down.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with us. I calculated quickly just in mortgage, land taxes and house insurance what we have paid out in the 9 years on our hobby farm and the total is enough to make me feel ill. I’m tried of working to make everyone else’s life easy but still stay so hard for us. My man lived off grid for 17 years before we got together and I lived off grid for two years as a child. I want this life again so badly... it’s time to stop wasting our life’s paying and paying everyone but ourselves. And with everything going on in the world now I personally would like to distance myself. PS love your place! You guys have done an amazing job! Love all your video’s. keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I hope you get your hearts desire... :)
From the beginning when I found your channel there were beautiful smiles . 11 months later I find a bigger smile on my face everytime you post a video
You girls & guy, are awesome! Smiles, and giggles, and laughs. Awesome!
Hey thanks for all you and the fam do. My wife and I have 3 young girls and I got mercury poisoning which really pointed us down a road of ancestral diet and getting our hands in the soil. Appreciate your encouragement and hope our family can finally get out of debt and move forward with more peace and joy in our lives. 🙏
Hard work and the ability to sacrifice for a while and you and Family had an incredible Home.
You Sir are an incredible man with a beautiful family. You truly are rich.
Thank you
A family and a story to be inspired by. ❤️
That's one heck of a family you've got there, may God bless all of you and inspire others to live the simple life with lots of love
Hey guys , my husband n i just love ur videos /family , N dad u r crazy funny 👍🏽👍🏽 I mean ur wife deserves a medal lol
We hope to meet u all one day
Honestly thank u for sharing ur journey 💫
Very beautiful story, everything looks Amazingly beautiful inside and outside ,your children's are Amazing wife is a beautiful woman your friend Dave he is a dear friend of the family God Bless
People rarely stop to think about the true cost of our conveniences. They're really not so convenient when you think of it that way. It has always blown my mind that people will work for 30 years to pay for a house, when you could build one mostly from materials around you in about a year. A well set up off grid system isn't nearly as hard in day to day life as you'd think. And I mean non electric- not even solar. But the FREEDOM, oh the freedom. That's the most amazing part- and the security!
Your wife is so calm and collectively and you two are soulmates.
Amazing!!! Single dad homestead mentioned your channel a little while ago. I am so happy he did. I am going to watch your videos with my 11 year old. Your daughters are a wonderful example for him 🥰
best video ever. Seeing your homestead and family grow is awesome.
Love that section with mom on the the quad full of babies! If i was 30yrs younger i would love to be in your position!
The most important and valuable thing you do have there is your family. They can never be replaced, not for all the land and money in the world! That's I love watching you guys and how much you teach your kids. They are more capable than some 50 year old guys I know! Well done!
You guys are truly remarkable. Thanks for sharing your stories with us.
Most people aren't willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get where you are. Kudos to you for doing it and sharing.
You guys are awesome living the dream. Keep on keeping on
Excited to watch more of your videos!
This retrospective video is priceless!!! And... may it find its way into the hearts and minds of those worthy to follow.
Beautiful place my friends
Cheers to you and your beautiful family. Those children are smiling and happy, and so are both of you parents. To be at one with yourselves, your land, and the planet is where we as humans used to be. I think it's time more of us leave the rat race, get our hands in the dirt, and be doers instead of workers. You inspire us!! Keep smiling.
Nice folks. Thanks for the story.
you guys have done an amazing job at setting up your gridlessness homestead and the girls are also amazing with all the hard work that they contribute to the life of being a successful homesteader, great job y 'all
I love you guys and I am so proud of your daughters as if they are my grandchildern. The love you show towards your wife and she to you is beautiful. I am 75yrs bedridden and live and enjoy life through You Tube channels and yours is one of my favourite. Rose's smile is so capturing that if you could bottle it for sale, your family will be millionaires over night. Come on give us more videos. Love your off road trip to the lakes.
