Are you all getting ready for the ''Earth Changes'' and the Waters rising ? Its no joke the Elite Trash have tried to keep this quiet as for as long as they could....
Is there such a thing as Elderly Homestead Community,, just wishing I guess, I am a 73 yr. Senior daydreaming
❤ 😂 thanks you guys. My son and myself live in. New Zealand south island.We are inspired by your story,. I'm 64 now Andrew is 15 and stil at school. Worked my ass off all my life in primary indersteys and construction. All I got out of it was just a living knowledge tools an old campervan
and a dream that you guys are mabey one day
God bless you
When you prayed before feeding the dog, i remembered our little brown dog whenever we pray, it comes close to us and curls and stays silent until we finish praying. There was one time when we were about to pray, and one suddenly began sharing something for 5 minutes - our dog sat up and left. When we were about to start, it returned and stayed with us until we finished. It happens every time we pray, he has this ability to know if what we're doing is praying or just chit-chatting...amazing dog!
Why do you still enprison your guts? What's with the belly? Sustainable😢
ORGANize for heaven's sake!! PH BALANCE!!
Chahta person here. We are Indigenous people who are traditionally farmers, foragers, and hunters. Women are traditionally the farmers and foragers. Men are traditionally the hunters. There are exceptions but this is generally our way. We plant in a way where pesticides aren't necessary.
I'm here in Choctaw country, Oklahoma. Wondering if the tribes are aware of the problems we're facing? Do they know there's no such thing as (that one thing they said was happening in 2020)? I can't say it because my comment will get deleted.
Love to hear it. I admire cultures such as your own!
🙏🏻
@@jonas3333you could at least hint tward it. And comments dont get deleted.
@@gratefultedd969 💉
Oh to be 25 years younger and have a like minded spouse! 😊
I'm tearing up at your comment. 🥺😢. I'm still holding out hope...
Go to the Philippines.
You don't need to be younger...you need a few friends that have similar interests...build some tiny houses n get some chickens....pigs... start a green house n herb garden. Feed n weed til harvest time❤
Spouse? I thought that was his mom... Oops.
I know right!
Any enemy of farmers is an enemy of humanity.
💯💥🎓🏆
Farmer here, i have a felony record for farming. Law Abiding citizens and Government are directly opposed to freedom. as with me they are now arresting the Amish.
@@Garandmasthumb Bless you. The people support you, it's the tyrants we have to worry about.
Have you watched Food Inc.?
I disagree. The small farmers yes, but now there are huge corporation “farms” that destroy the land, destroy the original seeds and are horrific to animals, and our food sources suffers.
Been doing this with our 5 for 3 years now. Took them out of school and never looked back. God is good and His creation just AMAZES us!
you were doing so good till you got Superstitious with the God stuff. No real name either, my name my current photo
That’s the best thing you could do for your children and yourselves. God bless you. You are correct God is absolutely good.
So true. Glad you see the Most High plan. HE is good all the time and all the time HE is good.
@@mikebengyak199Don’t trust the internet.
My personal opinion is that sending children to public school and then expecting them to grow up with the ideals that YOU are trying to teach them is insane. School is intensively drilling climate change hysteria, and extreme Leftist political ideology for six to eight hours per day…parents have only a couple hours between work and sleep to interact with their kids. Who do you think is going to have more influence??
I was an exchange student to Norway. My host sisters would forage a few times a week in the forest hills behind their home. We would collect blueberries, blackberries. raspberries, cherries, strawberries and mushrooms.
Ahh. If only strawberries, raspberries, and cherries would grow wild where we live
What a wonderful experience for you ❤
Hope you got to try cloudberries!
Yup... people all over Scandinavia still does that...
Foraging , gardening, composting...
Inside and outside..
To me, it’s about learning what our grandparents and great grandparents knew. They knew how to live and survive before thee was electricity and running water. They knew how to raise their own food, process it, preserve it, cook it, and store it without refrigeration. That’s knowledge is golden.
It is indeed golden. Their lives were really hard, they worked an incredible amount of time every day.
@@HeBorka indeed, but the work itself is much more gratifying than the modern life.
@@newolde1 I am not arguing with that.
@@HeBorka
Working all day, doing what you can and are able to, considering your body and energy is more rewarding, when you work on something like this, than working hard in a city in modern ways...where you feel dying every day and not being safe.
The feeling being safe means growing your food, being independent of others for food, etc.😊
Exactly the stuff they have bred out of our culture
I believe this is the way our creators wanted us to live and grow. Taking care of the earth, living off the land that the creator created for us free and to eat off of all He provided for free thats why everything our creators created reproduces. Some men decided to created industry, bombs, wars, big pharma with the drugs, racism and hate. I grew up on a farm and it was the most peaceful time in my life. I really enjoyed this video.
*creator- singular.😁🌈🤙🏻🙌😉the beauty and perfection of it all!
If 8 billion of us were all out there trying to doing this, there would be nothing left of the earths resources to sustain us. So much of the earths surface cannot even grow food or support livestock. I don't agree with mass farming practices but that is what's required for most of us to be able to even eat.
You mean God?
@lowespringacres7838 yes but Creator is a title also
I'm with you
She is mesmerized by her husband and he compliments her so modestly. I love it ❤
No man is a profit in his own home don't be fooled.
I noticed that as well.😊
THAT'S THE WAY IT SUPPOSED TO BE ‼️‼️🙏🙏🙏💯
One of the most enjoyable interviews on UA-cam. I had to smile when Rick mentioned how the fat globules are smaller in goat milk which makes it more digestible. Most people do not realize this. I have to toot my horn here. A friend's sister had a baby that would projectile vomit all formulas and was on the last one. I got a phone call and set the woman up with goat's milk. Long story short, the baby never vomited that goat's milk and grew into a healthy young man. Do you know goats still serve over 65% of the world? I really enjoyed Rick and Jane and hope to hear from them again!
My pediatrician said goats milk had too much salt for me to feed my baby & I believed him! I didn't know it was ok
@@ninarice5279 -it's not you. It's modern medicine driven by the govt. & big pharma. All we can do is pass on the info & hope at least a few will listen. Did you know that the Koch Bros. didn't want us to be knowledgable about finance so they collected all the books on finance, burned them & had the "dumbed down" version reissued. It's important as useful knowledge is being stolen so we must hold onto it.
Extremely allergic to dairy milk, I was raised on goat's milk, which was a challenge because we were farmers/ranchers and our stock was beef and dairy.
The fat globules of pork are huge. Utterly clogs your kidney. Pork fat lines or fills the absorbsion digestive gut of a cat and it starves to death.
@@ninarice5279why did you not breast feed. Babies fed formula are subjected to ty 1 diabetes
Honey is one of the most amazing healing salves. I've seen the most horrendous deep wounds heal, both in humans and animals.
But not supermarket honey, that stuff is heat treated and diluted with glycerine. Buy from health food shop, and read the labels!
Better still, buy direct from organic suppliers if possible
Yes so have I I knew a guy who sliced open his arm it was deep he couldn't Goto hospital he at the time was wanted lol,nothing bad just growing the wronge trees lol, he wrapped his arm in honey wrapped it up in some type of herb IV forgotten it heals skin,he changed it to keep it clean, but when he showed me his arm you hardly saw a scar,he showed me before photos I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it.
@mariebaggstrom8066 yarrow (white flowered one) is incredibly healing. Stops bleeding immediately. He may have used that as a police along with the honey. Then there's marshmallow, stops gangrene. Natural medicine is the true medicine.
@@pipfox7834 Raw honey direct from the hive 😊
I worked for Macy's in San Francisco.
I understand the stress.
I worked. Went to dinner. Back home to sleep. I was not living. Only existing on auto pilot. 😊
You missed the incredible nightlife in San Francisco.
Exactly how the owners want us to live. Modern day slaves without the chains.
You get dinner & sleep?!! Lots of companies don't allow that. Those that work there know who I'm referring to. 😉
I worked an average 70-80 hrs/week. April was 100 hrs/week for 4-5 weeks straight. Did that for 45 years. It's no life but it is a farmers life.
@@architecture.wwho wants that
You have figured out true homesteading. Finally somebody that knows what they are talking about. Good job.
Yep. Crime from STL was leaking into our neighborhood. Came out one morning and a homeless person was sleeping in our car in our driveway. Last straw for me as I was holding a little one. I quit work, we bought some property in the country & are now beginning our homestead journey!
Wasn't locked, like animals they are opportunists. You'll work harder but be healthier.
I've lost track of the number of times I've heard gunshots or police sirens from my home. Police helicopters search my area, too. The house behind my apartment building was set on fire by goodness knows who. I heard the glass bottles break that started the place on fire and saw it engulfed in flames. A few years before that my car was shot in my parking lot. I would love to move and homestead too.
I grew up in StL, after shootings happened all around us i quit watching the news because i feared leaving home. I finished my divorce and the family counselor asked my child rearing plan. I said to raise my remaining son in a city thats not on the top 10 most desdly cities list. He said sounds good and signed off. I now living in Paris, Texas and trying to start the same.
On top of your problems there are squatters who have more rights than homeowners do in most (mainly blue) states. Florida just outlawed it and now squatters can be removed immediately by law enforcement--no more long, drawn out court cases.
@carlawade6861 when you say stl are you referring to the set and street Saint Lowrance in Chicago?
This is by far the best setup I've seen for being self sufficient, sustainable and off grid. What they have figured out and built is quite incredible. The way everything grows together and naturally works to deter certain bugs is natural and beautiful. A lot of work and research, but the result is life in the true sense of living. 😊
Permaculture 👍
The Key Factor is having the landscape that allows you to do such things. So all the good farmable lands with a year round water sources has been already taken.
@traceycolbert3635 hi, the man in this film calls it Natureculture! I call it a miracle of God's creation that we get to share in, if we so desire. He's the One who designed everything to work how it does, our bodies, too. I'm sure it pleases him when we understand and appreciate it. It really is marvelous. This couple understands and they have created something very beautiful which wouldn't even be possible if not for the Master Creator!
@@ohanailo7743 Yes, I would be estactic to own a plot of land in the mountains like that. A lot of work, but so worth it. I can dream..
@@inthetwinklingofaneye Yes, dream of a beulah land. 🌺🌸🌴❤️🇺🇸
God Bless, most people don't know it, but you are living the american dream! You are RICH in ways they will never know. Thx for sharing from Wyoming
Amen. One nation under God.
You are Soo blessed to be equally yoked in your endeavor. You are blessed to have a husband lead in these things.
I wonder how many viewers were lost right at the beginning.
I am glad I watched this past the first ten minutes. The first ten minutes should have been played at the end.
I am not trying to be negative, I am sincerely glad I stuck it out to the end.
Incredible knowledge from both of you.
Thank you, good point 🎉
Nah, I was hooked right from the beginning. 😊
When the goat was wandering in the house, I was almost “nope I’m out” cuz goats to go poop wherever - it just drops out them like they are spreading chocolate chips wherever they walk.
I wanted to thank you for your video. I learned SO MUCH.
I already homestead in North Texas. I'm allergic (violently) to plants, so I raise cattle, but I'm 75. Raising goats, rabbits and ducks is something I never gave much thought to. I live debt free and have enough land for goats, ducks and rabbits, but I use free leased land (in trade for the land owners being able to claim agricultural exemption on their property taxes) for the cows, but cows are becoming less manageable the older I get.
Something I do currently is manufacture my own power from wind, solar and steam. I've built steam engines as a hobby for over 50 years. I am currently building one to power my whole-house generator from compressed air that the windmill (as well as solar-electric compressors) pumps into a 2,000-gallon storage system.
On clear days, my tracking solar concentrator produces live steam.
BTW - I don't use batteries to store electricity. I store compressed air and actively "make" electricity when needed.
You should start your own channel. I was thinking solar would be great for steam. Would like to see what you've done.
@@susansauceda9879
I have my own channel, but it's for my kids and grandkids to keep up with me. I couldn't care less about subscribers. I usually post most of my builds there, but only now and then, when I get the bug.
Clever guy, peace be with you.
So cool steam electricity!!! I would certainly be interested. 🤔
@@christinathompson9780
It's nothing new - Google "Indistrial Revolution".
I can understand the wife loosing her happy place after an incident like that. Last year, i witnessed a guy beaten by 2 fellas with bats. Don't know if he survived. Presently, I have a hoarder neighbor who has let all types of people live in RVs on his property. Found out a few days ago that this neighbor has been letting an murderer/druggie/arsonist live next door as well. This person started a fire in the rental home a few streets over from me & killed someone in this fire. Supposedly, this person poisoned my neighbor's dog, which ended up dying. I want so desperately to sell the house & move. Significant other does not want to do this. Am seriously considering just leaving all behind & moving out of state. Peace of mind is so important
Just go. Alone if need be. It will be a weight off you.
Just leave. Your peace of mind and safety is so important. Your other half will follow if there is still love there. Good luck.
Good morning,
it appears as if the internet believes somewhere in your statement you asked for advice. Please don't take what they've suggested you do as sound advice.
I haven't watched the entire video, but I read your comment and honestly you didn't appear to be seeking advice, seems more like venting. Crazy is everywhere, leaving/moving may not be the best thing especially if you and your family have invested in the home you live in.
THE FIRST TWO RESPONSES TO YOUR COMMENT ARE UTTERLY RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY THE SECOND ONE! THEY SHOULDN'T TELL SOMEONE TO LEAVE THEIR FAMILY FOR PEACE OF MIND OR LEAVE AND "IF" YOUR SPOUSE STILL LOVES YOU THEY WILL FOLLOW?!
I would move out also.
Your SO should be intelligent enough to understand why.
Prepair yourself to buy a piece of land, with no crazy neighbours in the wild field around you.
Bad neighbours ruined it all and is dangerous too.
I pray for you both.
Start selling your things and move in with a friend or relative temporarily. Tell him you don't feel safe there. It's a risk but you have to do it. Safety is number 1.
The two sweetest people ever! Rick and Jane are why I am where I am today. We have modeled our farm after theirs. Prepper Camp opened our eyes! Get their books! They are a step by step guide to what they do!

My Grandfather was a strawberry farmer back in the early 20th century, it was a good living and no one ever told him he could not farm like they are doing today.
I am a home Gardner and for the last few years here in Florida I have not had much success in growing my tomatoes, peppers and squash. They just go so far and just peter out.
I know very well that the aluminum they are spraying from planes and drones everyday, causes the nutrients not to be able to come into the roots and many other things they put into our breathing air, ours and the veggies and animals.
GOD knows who and what these ppl are doing to us and I would not want to be them when GOD does come back.
I will pray for you and I pray GOD BLESSES you farmers and families.
There is a rumour that its not people but drones doing the aerial damage.
BUT. During first lockdown we had clear skies. Now its been heavily overcast since Christmas with only rare days of blue sky. North Yorkshire, UK. We're all getting ill all the time.
Those doing or organising this are pure evil and will get their rewards.
I need the younger & skilled guy cuz I’m the older lady who can’t do what he can still in his more youthful yrs lol
Oh Lord, send him my way!
Confused ING
Fond memories of years gone by bye.
I rely on my brother or our nephew to carry things and dig the planting holes for the trees, but smaller things are planted on top of layers of cardboard. They'll go through the cardboard after the worms eat it.
I use wooden raised beds and fabric pots from 2 gallon to 20 gallons for starting acorns and apple seeds, and yes I stop the car and pick them up wherever, including crabapple.
I don't know if I will ever eat any of the apples, but I have an acre and want to plant half at least.
Do you watch Bealtaine Cottege? She started in her 40s.
Send me one also...
Amen, Lord send one to me as well with the money to buy the land lol
i believe this is how God wanted each of his children to spread on earth!! thank you Jesus.
Praise the Lord.
Genesis 1:29
New International Version
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. This means no animal flesh or milk products.
My grandmother raised rabbits in a backyard coop, I always thought they were pets( I was 4-5yrs at that time) and she fried them up like chicken and it was the best chicken ever( I found out when I was a teenager that I had been eating rabbit!) She grew up on a farm, had a market and small cafe, and I didn't know this until after she passed away. All that knowledge..gone forever. This was a wonderful video
Been farming, pesticide free in Montana for years. The main thing is no monoculture! Weeds, and other plants are part of the diversity of life, and give insects something else to eat. I just keep them from fouling the roots of my crops.
Left California, over twenty years ago and told everyone I knew, “If God hasn’t specifically told you to stay where you’re at, get OUT of the cities, and away from the coast!”
During the pandemic, when California was a hellscape, we were completely unaffected, except for the stores lacking products, and the outsiders filling up every campsite and vacation rental, which was a bonus for landlords…but the after effects are higher rents for everyone and a huge increase in population.
Ah Montana! A dream I’ll never see..
What this lady told, is exactly why we moved from the Netherlands to the highlands of Sweden, where we live much more isolated in nature. It takes courage to follow your gut feelings and your heart. But at the end, you gain so much. We lived the ratrace in Hollland and we never thought we would be truly happy. Here, every day is a blessing and we created and still are creating our paradise in this far more forgiving land.
Did I hear you wrong only 1/4 acre for all this. It looks like more land. Congratulations I'm happy for you guys keep up the amazing work 😊
We have far more land, however the garden is a 1/4 acre.
Ok thanks for the correction appreciated.
Is there anything/ anyway to get untainted water ?
Thank you for this. VERY well done. I am retired and I think back to my childhood on our Kansas farm and can see how much we have lost , as a society, of self sufficiency. Wake up people, it isn't too late.
AMAZING! I would live just like you if I was in my 23 instead of 63 and had a MAN like you, Rick I'd learn to be just like you Jane! I'm taking a few of your tips to try in my tiny yard garden experiment! Thanks for sharing your story!
Once BILLIONAIRES become involved with "farming" every small farm will be targettted to remove all competition, and every independent thinker will also be persecuted until they "comply" with authority.
First thing Stalin did...... get rid of family farms.
That is what seems to be happening in every western country. Same here in Australia
That is one way to look at it, but its negative connotation implies there is no hope, no alternative but to settle on this as the only outcome. It is not. Parallel societies are getting bigger every day, especially in America, so if you don't know about this, then you had better do some research on what is going on in your region. These alternative societies are thriving and are beginning to threaten the big boys, and they can do nothing about it. The numbers of people involved are growing rapidly making it dangerous for many local and state governments to interfere, because they all want to be re-elected. The key is to make sure that you do not comply with government orders at any level, and if need be consult some of the lawyers who will work for you from that very same parallel society community.
They're already targeting the privately owned Amish farms. I've always been curious about their way of life and wondered how they were allowed to be so "exempt" from everyone else and everything else. Now, it's happening to them too😢😢
Not going lie....I'm pretty jealous. Well done.
You couldn't pay me to live in a city again. I'm surrounded by farmland and cows now. I have always grown my food(only chaos garden and organic), but now I have the space to grow enough food to share with the community. We take care of each other and that is what all communities need to do. You are only as strong as your weakest citizen. There is a very diverse amount of nature and plant life despite the farming. I'd love to get some chickens, and quail, as well as a few bee hives.
My oldest daughter has a dream of doing what you are doing. Everyone in the family on the compound in a place where we could have Permaculture and be off the grid. I would like to think that we could actually do it. I just don’t know where. I’m glad you got out.
This is us too ❤
❤❤❤ A thumbs isn't good enough. This is exactly what we have been looking for. You talk just enough to say what is necessary. You really know what you are doing. You secret garden is like paradise. Thank you so much. Now I have to find these recommended books.
What are the recommended books?
Oh my goodness, I prayed with our dogs before meals, too - Daisy and Max, the best Schnauzers anyone could ask for. Great for eradicating vermin, but even better companions. I am impressed with the "hidden garden" and want so much to learn these techniques. Thank you for sharing the success of these two intelligent, industrious people. God bless you in all you do.
I am so sick of working just so I can go to bed and dread another day. So many of us have sleep disorders because we hate our life and don’t want to get up to do the exact same day again. And we’ve got the government against us, and all the large corporations of the world that are buying everything up and making it even harder for us to be independent. They really do want us to own nothing and be happy. And I never will be happy, owning nothing and living their way. This has been my dream.
Buy unincorporated, no restriction land with Special Warranty Deed or better. IF you cannot have full control of your land by at least 90%,THEN do not buy the land.

@@CapitalismDeathSpiral Thanks for the heads up!👍
Have faith 🙏 one year ago I was in the same position, today I’m off grid contemplating my new gardens. If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.
Everyone has sleep disorders because they're low on iodine in their diet- take iodine/selenium. Check out Dr Bright/Naturopath videos. I was an insomniac until I added the iodine/Selenium.
This is amazing! Totally organic homestead! The animals look so healthy and happy. You guys are going to live to be 120 like the Bible said we would 😊.

I’ve been on my land for over 30 years. Growing food and eating off my land and sharing with many . But my new neighbor and his chemical spray drift has destroyed everything. Positive test results from the department of agriculture off the window of my house and the food. More than one time. There is no enforcement. They have the license to destroy your investment GMO gasoline feeding no one. Stop by show some love.
Terribile
Geeze. I feel ya. I'm glad you said that.
That's extremely disturbing. I truly hope you find a way.

I would love to live and work a place like this. Been on farms and ranches and building and restoring homes my whole life. This is what freedom looks like to me. ❤
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting. Did anyone notice how calm everybody was? They were not all stressed out or dealing with any anxiety like everybody seems to be.
It’s amazing a native plant like Mountain Mint. Can help bees get rid of the destructive Varroa Mite. Prairie Nursery and Prairie Moon Nursery both sell these native seeds.
Could the V mite have been intentionally planted ???
IMO
@@snowyowl6892 I believe so. I am 59 and have been keeping bees my whole life. In 1960 some cruel Brazilian dictator was being protested against by a college professor /hobby beekeeper name Warwick Kerr. The dictator arrested the professor and held him in jail 3 years. The professor was released and the newspaper was told to print a "fake" article that he had bred and trained a " killer bee race" that seeked out certain Brazilian government officials at night killing them in the most horrible ways. This fake story was material for horror movies in 1970 called "killer bees". Then in 1972 the US government jumped in and decided it was a good CIA Psyop. They scared children sending CIA people to schools to fear monger kids about the invasion of killer bees supposedly coming by 1976. It never did. But the government did use all the money the fearmongering generated for preventing the " killer bees " to find ways to stop the fake "invasion". They took harmless and benign Varroa Jacobsonii and Bio Engineered it to become a deadly malignant parasitic mite that got its name "Varroa Destructor" in 1999. Bees no longer survive very long at all without treatments. The original dark North American honeybee Apis Mellifera Mellifera has become extinct in North America because beekeepers almost always rather kept the highly advertised imported yellow (Italian ) Apis Mellifera Lingustica. The Apis Mellifera Mellifera lived wild in the forests so nobody treated these dark bees when the mites came in the 1990s. In the UK people are still keeping a few Apis Mellifera Mellifera because they survived on an island where nobody brought the Destructor mite. There are still some islands without the mites. You cannot buy Apis Mellifera Mellifera anymore in North AMERICA but instead of the government mentioning there was a native honey bee they spread lies that they are NOT native even though in 2017 a fossilized apis mellifera mellifera was found in the silt if a dry lake in Nevada. It is 100% identical to apis mellifera mellifera but they gave it a misleading new name apis mellifera "neoartica". It was not even found in the arctic.
I'm still in awe of you two! Keep preaching and doing all you do for folks to teach them about self-reliance and preparedness. I'm proud to call you friends!
I am so PROUD of you
This is a phenomenal story
God bless you
Amen.
I am 74 years old and I’m a prepped and survivalist. How about a cook book of what how and where to plant and a cookbook how to make food out of what u grow. I would love that and I would use it if u keep it simple
A couple of tips about goats: 1. if you let them live in the house when they're a baby, they will expect to live in the house as an adult. Unfortunately, they have no capacity to be house-trained - adult goats will urinated and defecate on the bale of hay they're standing on while they're standing there eating it - and by the time they're an adult that's quite a large mess on your dining table or your sofa.
2. If you encourage them to headbutt you when they're a cute little kid and it's fun to play, they'll still do that when they're an adult too. Which also isn't a thing you want an adult goat doing when you're not ready for it.
Makes perfect sense.
These are dwarf goats, but your right😉
A tall goat can break your pelvis.
The breed of goat also has a lot to do with their behavior. Nature and nurture. We had LaMancha dairy goats for ten years. Pretty easy to manage.
Another tip about goats, if a fence won't hold water,It won't hold a goat!!😂😂😅😅😂
I would do everything except animal husbandry. I’ll keep goats for milk but not to process them. Same for the ducks.
Thank you for all your knowledge and a generous heart.
Rabbit stew is great and I had ducks. Wise man and lovely wife❤❤❤
When she said that yall didn't have to come off the mountain she had me. We live in a very small town in sw Virginia and grow a big garden and I cann a lot and last year grew king corn so I would be able to make corn bread. We can only have six chickens and are looking into that. Each year we are able to get a beef from a friend and always put two deer in the freezer and cann a lot. I would love to come to one of your classes. Be blessed yall are a blessing for sharing what God has given yall 🙏 ❤
I have a Croft in the Highlands of Scotland. You have educated me!!!! Thank you so much!!! Take care!🏴🏴🏴
Don't buy a sun oven Paul 😉🏴
This man is my dream and I can't wait to prep and be of this grid ASAP. Family thinks I am nuts.
Incredible knowledge. This video went fast, because every minute was filled with concrete information.
Commenting on my own comment so I can find this video again. New subscriber. Thank you!
I saw this video awhipe ago. I think it's been over a yr ago. Interesting i come across this video today. I think about these 2 ever so often. They're a great example of how wish i could live. Theyre a great team. Mad love and respect to the couple.
Get the system to compost the poop to make methane gas for you stove
A digester system. It also ejects the nutrient water for garden at the end
A win win for you you get compost (like now) AND methane for your stove.
Cheers
Love you and your work.
God bless you all!
I've spent decades being around survivalists (now preppers) and traditional farmers. I really like your positive attitude. Often videos turn into a doomscape with people crowing about force multipliers, etc. I would add that everyone doesn't have to do everything. One neighbor can have bees, another may have chickens, and so on. Amish neighbors can be a blessing.
Halito, I'm a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and I try to live out the pesticides. I use lemon scented ammonia and baby shampoo to spray my plants
Love to you in Oklahoma from Alaska
I could live like this, if I had a like minded partner. I have skills and love developing new ones.
Nice one Charlie!! The secret garden has been my personal inspiration. Been packing my property-tight ever since I learned of his technique. Thanks Yanasa gang
So glad I found you two today. The best that has happened in the homesteading community practices. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video.
Now the UN and the WEF are saying only bugs are sustainable.
@@tenabarnes3269the sad part is they don’t care at all about the planet. Everything they do and say are lies. They are all about greed and control. They want the planet as slaves and money. They want to reduce the population down to 500 thousand manageable slaves to control in 15 minute cities. All the problems they scream about is a product of their creation. We have been lied to for ever by the Tell-a-vision and we were all programmed. Many still are. The truth will be revealed by the end of the year. It’s starting to be revealed now but it’s going to speed up. It will take a good 2-3 years for the upheaval to settle down in society. Some bad actors are going to throw everything at us till we get to election and it’s going to be a very unconventional election. It people actually knew what was going on the left they would be shocked. If you try to tell them they think you’re crazy. They know something is going on but the truth is out of their reach of comprehension. They can read the documents of the laws and orders but still not believe it.
The world is going to be a much better place to be.
@@tenabarnes3269😂
Plant Pyrethrin daisies among your vegetables for a natural pesticide that won't harm any creature except insects.
Hello! You have a delightful hidden homestead. Praise God for the way He created everything to twine together. We are so blessed. I imagine when you learned about the synergistic relationship between particular plants and animals it was very invigorating! God does all things well, and your expertise and understandingare a credit to you both.
Sorry in advance for my blunt honesty, but your faith is your own. Your definition of God is your own, full stop. And please stop trying to push others onto your path. Let them find their own way. You and they will be better off for it.
@@newolde1I didn’t sense any “pushing” at all. Just a wonderful heart sharing some encouragement. Perhaps u should reread your comment if you’re looking to criticize 🤷♀️
@@spoolsandbobbins ehem, I don't think you understand the notion of your faith is your own.
Seriously though you want grounded criticisms? God does all things well? Nature does things well, sure, but look around at the world today. Look at the state of the natural world, it's not so well, eh? Why is it that so many religious folks are oblivious to the hypocrisies of what they believe, edging on delirium.
@@newolde1 God is for everyone, if they will turn to him through His Son, Jesus. This person is sharing their faith, it's up to you whether you except it, but don't begrudge them for sharing. If we are all silenced, the rocks will cry out for us. Peace be with you.
These two are awesome people with good ways of living♥️
I remind myself and others: it wasn't that long ago that our great great grandparents were digging rocks out of virgin land with bare hands, building homes and fences, and raising sustainable herds and crops. God is Good. He provided everything we need.
My father spent 40+ years getting and being ready... Died this last July... End of the World outlived him and all his stocks and supplies... The years of training and getting ready... All to the grave... And I miss him!
Sounds like he built you something and you're going to waste it.
I’m sorry for your loss. 😢
Still have to be prepared no body know when they life going to end wow!!!!!
Wise man, willing to bet he prepared for eternity too.
@@sandyforan3301 Not the way I still cuss what I had to live through... Yes, I'm trained too... Wasn't a choice!
Been Off Grid 4 years now, I'm boat, float plane and sled access only. Much respect 🤝🍁💪
I love this. I moved into an apartment with some space in a courtyard and gardens around it here in N. Central FL. The ground was so poor, I had to use lots of fertilizer at first just to get things to grow, but I also had trees all around my apartment; oak, elm and magnolia. I just piled leaves up on the gardens in the fall, and after about 3 years, I had so many earthworms and beneficial insects that I didn't have to fertilize at all. I gave up on high yields of some veggies, but found that tropical veggies and herbs grow very well, so that's what I grow now. Thanks for the tip about catnip and tomatoes. I'll definitely be using that.
A huge thank you! I'm not off grid at all but steps can be taken. I have been thinking about goats, seems so stupd to mow 2.25 acres and pay taxes to have my little plot of land with a cat dog and 2 hens and 65 bonsai trees, time to get practical.
Meadows in part requires much less mowing.
It is refreshing to see this mindset being shared so much
Yes, everyone deserves the right to sustain themselves in a healthy way
This is the best off grid documentary I have seen. This has been so well thought out. Every part of the food production has been for maximum yield, minimum effort. Fabulous. Wish you were here in the UK.
What a great interview and lovely, knowledgeable couple. Thank you so much for letting us meet them.
Your countryside is literally so beautiful ❤️
In reality, you are ahead of the past, unless you want to go back many centuries. Even then we knew little about nature's balance. After the coming fall of the modern systems perhaps we will start listening to you, your type, and your knowledge. In the meantime, please do your best to keep us lackeys informed on what we are missing. Great lifestyle. Thank you. You are of the few who are "living with nature."
We have 16 million single parent families 80% females. 24 million children under 18 years of age. Few have any skills or persons to teach them.
1 Jan 2011. The oldest baby boomers turned 65. Everyday since then an additional 10,000 BB reach 65. Living longer and sicker with two comorbidities a piece.
What I see is an opportunity. Among these comments a tech savvy single parent needs to find a way to develop a site to match up homesteaders.
Boomers have homes and land and single parents are young and strong willing to learn and build. They have children who would love to grow up country.
Ladies…find a way to make this happen. Start on social media and search for others with a like mindset and get a legal agreement in writing on expectations, roles and who pays for what. So everyone is protected.
Buy some land. Build some tiny homes. A tiny school house….some moms can work on the economy and others can teach and work on the homestead. So many ways to accomplish this.
Awesome.
Great idea!!
I like the way you think.
Western world has millions of accomplished older people with skills and resources and millions of young people without skills and resources but able bodies.
Get together.
However this takes , cultural shift. People are getting more separated and isolated time moves forward
I'm 72 and did exactly that!!! I now have a wonderful woman w 2 kids living on my 4 acres helping me make a homestead for us. Her energy and enthusiasm has been such a help. It's a blessing to both of us. We take our first produce to farmers market next week
You guys look really healthy too. Your living shows in your skin and im impressed.
Is this the most interesting at amazing way to live. I've always loved the idea of off-grid but had no idea about this type of gardening. I live in the desert but I'm sure there has to be a way to grow something like that here.
My soul longs for this life :-) you are truly blessed thank you for sharing your amazing journey
There are people doing this in desert areas.
Im in Australia n love this so much. I have tonnes of fruits, nuts snd berries in pots so far as i don't have land, i only rent on someones propery and live in a caraven but when i get some land i will be totally sufficient. I dream about it evet single day. Manifestation in the works.....
Just saw a video from the State of Origin who shuts down small farms and private people with lets say 3 cows or a chicken pen due to some new regulations. The people are being identified by drohnes. Well this guy has done anything right. No drone survilance will harm him cause he is not to be seen from above :) Well done both of you. Bless you and similiar thinking people.
It starts with stopping mis information.
What exactly is the new law in Oregon? What exactly is the regulation they’re utilizing to shut down these farms in Oregon? Word of mouth often is not the best without further research
@@1Andreafrom what I have read about the Oregon law, it makes no sense! If you have hard flooring you must get liscence to raise animals, which costs more than you could possibly make off your three vows or what have you. Dirt floors are ok. But rats come through the soil so you will eventually have a colony of those eating your animals feed and getting into EVERYTHING. There is more, but in my old age I can't retain the info. But Google new Oregon farming laws or regulations, should be able to find the info.
That "Revelation " is coming to alot of folks. The cities are full of lawlessness...
I'd love to hear a financial breakdown. How much did it cost you to start up? How much for building? How much for ongoing maintenance? Cost for animals etc.
@Josie10131, they started with one project, then to the next one, they are sustainable in everything, so now they are passing on they knowledge and experience…
Exactly what I want my love to be self sufficiency with crops plants and growing meat
Beautiful homestead and a beautiful life. Enjoy your bounty 💜 God bless 💜
Amen.
I am happy for you. I wish you all the peace and fulfillment you can hold. But when times get desperate, desperate people will visit you. I trust you have a sustainable community who are willing and able to defend yourselves. In the city, crime is all around you and you are vigilant to it's presence and take precautions. In remote places we all feel safer because of the low crime and the separation from masses of humans. But that does not mean, in desperate times that wolves will not visit your den.
I enjoy these kind of videos. Having grown up in the farm in very remote parts of Kenya made me enjoy farming no matter how much work i have to do. I now stay in the city but i have had farms in the rural areas where i get fresh food tor own consumption and sale since i finished college. I cant imagine life without a farm and farming.
Thank you so much. Love and Shalom from Cape Town, SA.

Let them. The time of compliance is over. We must stand up to the corporation that has been controlled through the Crown Corporation. The British took this land back during the war of 1812 and wrote a second constitution in 1871, which created the United States Corporation. Then FDR finished us off and sold us out to the central bank in order to get out from the artificially created great depression. FDR was a 33rd degree mason and was evil. Same with Churchill. Ww2 was a setup and was opposite of what they taught us. Enough is enough.
God bless, we ourselves are trying to run away from this horrid communities that are being allowed to flourish, however it is hard to go off grid, i have tried making a youtube channel hoping to create funds to buy filming equipment but its just not working, God bless you and your supporters cant wait to see how it turns out
Why would you need filming equipment to move off grid?
Id love to spend a week with these awesome people ! I garden, forage, process my herbs , and thought I knew something, today after finding this video I really learned a thing or two, or three!
Thank you ❤
Loved meeting you! Grannie Cyndy from South Australia here. I'm 72yrs old and one of my 6 sons and I live on a 1/4 acre block in a 30 year old subdivision. Everything was against us. Very heavy rock filled clay, no topsoil, we were probably the area of an implement shed as the ground was so compacted, giant gum trees shaded our yard from the northern side, the optimum side for sunshine down under, and the steep hillside faced west, the hottest angle in summer's late part of the day. Even though we began to bring in loads of manure, leaves, our own chicken manure and straw it has taken us 18 years to get to our food forest garden just like this presentation...though without the livestock other than a few chickens.
my great grandmother used to sing a song about going down to the paw paw patch. She also made muscadine wine. we also use regular grape leaves rather than fruit to eat. Stuffed with grains etc cooked middle eastern style
This was just amazing to watch and gives us hope that even us, city people can learn and grow. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hope we'll have more videos from this wonderful farm!❤
I lived in a "third world country" and am a ready for a lot but am willing to learn more - to old to travel. Young enough to pay for video classes. Your newest subscriber.
Lamb’s Quarters is a great food. It’s natures spinach. It grows 4 feet tall & the seeds can be used as a flour. Humans can eat a bit raw, but because it has oxalic acid you should cook large amounts. I love it in lasagne, stir fries, soup etc.
Fantastic !!!!!!!!!! You nailed it and the best I have seen and I am 81 years old. Congratulations and keep going.
I am foraging and drying wild plant foods and mushrooms and freezing some all summer this year. lime water with raw eggs and cleaning out spring heads every place that I find them.. every city and county needs to get the citizens together and do the victory gardens like during ww1 and take advantage of every field possible. and everyone volunteer their time and land to the cause
Awesome. Unfortunately in the UK land is very expensive and planning regs kill hope. But I try my best in my garden, with my allotment, bees and chickens. I have my PCP air rifle with a hand pump to charge it and other old school air rifles to take out and cook the wild rabbits and wood pigeons (there are thousands of them in urban areas). I grow shallots, garlic and leek as you don't need seeds. keep my own grown seed potatoes, tomato seeds etc and make my own compost. Its all about doing what you can to extract your life from the System.
Oh I love watching Charles Dowding’s gardening channel in the UK.
Bright, smart, caring, hardworking, … I could go on. Rick and Jane live the life, and show that living a more sustainable life is possible if one is willing to put in the effort. Thank you for this video and thank you to Rick and Jane!
And now they'll find you ,govt 'since on here sharing all.
Yet got it.
Love the eco system that you work.
Beautiful ❤
Prayers🙏✝️👍
Still good info and story. Thankyou😊
Amen.
If you live in Oregon, hide all food plots but they use aerial photos !
I don't get, it what can they do with aerial photos?
Chaos garden. No rows all jumbled up
No one tells me I cannot grow a garden, except God. Not no gosh darn dang Government’s
