  • We have HUGE NEWS! Click here: bit.ly/tangentswithtylerandtodd for our BRAND NEW WEEKLY SHOW, Tangents with Tyler and Todd, airing EVERY Wednesday!
    Is living off grid hard? Why did we build a Geodesic Dome? Are we having kids? We're answering all your juicy questions about life and building our homestead that is completely off the grid! Sitting down for a Q&A and reflecting back on how we got here on our a mission to build a fully sustainable, off the grid homestead was a lot of fun...see you on Wednesday for part 2!
    When we first set out on building our cabin, we had planned on doing a traditional a-frame style cottage but as time went on and we did our homework we realized that if we carefully planned things we could build a cabin that won't just last our lifetime but generations to come. The more we learned about what it truly means to live off grid and be self-sufficient, we quickly realized the importance of building a homestead...for those of you who don't know (because we definitely didn't), a homestead is a property with several outbuildings that all provide a separate purpose for the goal self sufficiency! We knew from the beginning that we wanted the independence that having a homestead gave us but weren't interested in roughing it off the grid like a typical log cabin you're used to seeing! So we dreamt up a modern twist on cabin life that will fit our needs and after all these days dreaming, it's FINALLY happening and we can't wait to bring you along for the ride! #homestead #offgrid #vanlife
    Join us every Sunday as we continue to create off the grid homestead vlogs, sharing our adventures as we build our own alternative lifestyle, living simply in the wild wonderful off grid forest!

    How did we get here?
    After a year of full time travel living the van life, we had to adapt when the world changed. To keep busy we’ve converted our tiny house on wheels into a fully functioning off grid tiny house that has everything we need. Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We've spent the last year doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we'll need in the future.

    Throwing in the towel on work this week and spending the afternoon with you was such a wonderful decision...we've been going 100 miles an hour lately and not appreciating everything we’ve accomplished. I think it’s easy when you’re deep in it to not only forget how far you’ve come but where you’re going in the first place. Thank you for sending in these questions and allowing us to ramble and reflect on the last two years…what’s the verdict? See you Wednesday?? 🤔 EDIT: There have been a lot of unhappy comments about our pragmatic view on "The One" and we just wanted to clarify something: this is REAL life, not Heartstopper, Love Victor, or any other relationship fairytale. Life is messy and and people are complicated...we both want and HOPE that we'll be together forever but the entire point of that conversation was that IF for some reason it doesn't last (again, we don't think that will ever happen), it doesn't change that it was beautiful💛

    Maybe it is silly, but this 63 year old frequently tears up watching you two and the "kids". They are, however, certainly happy tears. This Q&A was so wonderful. You just touch my heart with the love you have for each other. My partner and I were together 13 years before he passed away in 1997. I see a little of us in you two in how you treat each other. One of the things I appreciate most about the Internet is the ability to connect with incredible people like your sweet family. You provide so much happiness and on occasional a tear or two as you share your journey. My life is certainly better for having found your channel. Hugs to you all.

I have cousins Brad and Kevin who also fit the description and I love them to death. To be able to come along while you build your dreams and watch you being yourselves is amazing. You don’t put on airs and act like the cameras not even on. I’ve got a lot of videos to watch to catch up, but I’ve got nothing else to do. Im a 73 year old widow from Ohio. I have one daughter, 2 grandsons, and 4 great grandchildren. You put a smile on my face , a giggle in my voice and love in my heart. Keep up the great work, and be careful in this heatwave. Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

However, watching your videos brings such a sense of calm after a hectic work week that I feel I’m living vicariously through the both of you.

You live your life on your terms with no excuses or apologies and I applaud you for that. A continuation of the Q&A would be fun!

    @PatSen Рік тому +31

    Hi T&T, I thought your Q&A was brilliant. Some points:
    1. ‘The One’ answer was thoughtful, honest and showed how much you trust one-another to speak it out aloud unrehearsed. You were both vulnerable then and were ok to show it to each other.
    2. As an outsider if one had to rank, I’d say that you are bffs first, then lovers. The kind of camaraderie you show, and I say camaraderie and *not* intimacy, because that’s what it is: effortless, artless joy in each other’s company; this camaraderie is so palpable that it brings lots of joy to us too. I’m inevitably in a good mood after watching you two.
    3. As a researcher in off-grid living, I’m impressed by your sound planning, and practical approach. There are many technical questions that I have but I’ll send them later next year. Hopefully you’ll respond to them.
    All the best. Lots of love and best wishes to you both.
    Cheers!
    Pat

    The best Q+A yet! So relaxing sitting there in the river! I would love a walk-around tour of your property. The drone shots help get a sense of what's where, but walking through it gives a better sense of scale. And I'm hoping you put Part 2 on a Wednesday video.
    I really love what you said about "the one." People get hung up on that and it's not healthy. It puts a lot on the other person and the relationship as a whole. And then if a relationship ends (whether poorly or just because those involved drift apart), then it adds to a sense of hopelessness... like "They were the ONE and now I'll just be sad and alone forever!" After a 15-year relationship, my partner and I broke up and was feeling that way. Then I heard Tim Minchin's "If I Didn't Have You" and it actually made me feel so much better. Shifted my way of thinking.
    Thanks for being such a ray of sunshine every Sunday... stay cool!

    I'm probably the last person you guys would think would be watching your vlog. I came upon it when I was watching other DIY videos. You are so interesting and authentic, and your projects and the way you pursue them are inspiring. You're a class act, for sure. Thanks for sharing your lifestory with the world -- takes courage to do that. Also: I totally agree that "life is messy!" It is practically my by-line -- my friends and family know me by it. It has kept me sane when I feel I'm about to melt down.

    Wish I had heard ahead of time about the Q&A. One thing I've found myself wondering about is how people (isolated in wilderness-type areas for long periods of time) deal with garbage disposal. I realize that trash can be reduced by burning cardboard/paper, and by composting food waste, but an average person still will generate a fair amount of other types of trash (food containers, especially). If you don't have an actual garbage pick-up service, how do you store garbage until you can take it somewhere, and where would you take it? I'm slowly working towards getting a camper fixed-up to take on extended trips (almost a full-timer) and hope to be able to boondock for long(ish) periods, but not sure how to deal with the trash.

      That is a very, very good question! We sort and recycle everything that we possibly can and the rest we bring to the dump every so often! :)

      Here we have to drive it to the dump and pay a little over a dollar a bag. On a septic system all the veggie waste goes in a compost pile.

    We cackled when you mentioned turning on the faucet and hoping water comes out. The first 8 of our 37 years on our 25 acres had no electric and a hand pump 300 feet away. Sometimes our water doesn't come on, good to have learned how to fix it. We still exclaim about the wonders of hot water after showers. This was the first episode my husband watched with me. You guys rock. Canning videos please.

    You ARE Rich in so many different ways, even if one of them isn't financial.
    You own your own land. You have your own water and power. You grow your own food. You live with someone you love. These are the basics of being self-sufficient which means not having to depend on anyone else for the basics of living. This is what makes you rich.
    Your continuing projects to improve your life on the land will only make your life richer! Not only in having projects to keep you mentally and physically active, but also by providing yourselves with more than just the basics.
    You're some of the richest people I've ever seen!!!
    If I knew thirty years ago what I know now, I would have probably followed in your footsteps on the road to self-sufficiency.

    It is aweinspiring to hang out with you as you share so transparently and sincerely about your personal selves. What a self evident example of how you each give the other inspiration, encouragement and humor. And as a result can see and reflect to the other self understanding of your emotional and personal growth over the years. This always seems like deep love in action. Its a privilege to have your trust in us to respect and support your candor. A heartfelt thank you.

Can't wait to see the house🤩. I grew up bathing and swimming in the river and streams during summers, so, I like the idea of the outside shower so much. You radiate so much happiness and love. I pray you grow strong together ❤️

    Haven't commented for ages, but LOVE you boys. Very inspiring to watch. We get where you're coming from and we've just finished our project 8 months ago, built on hard work and putting everything into creating a beautiful space to enjoy." How is it travelling with your dogs when you wanna get away? We now have 2 dogs and sometimes feel that we've cornered ourselves in a little when it comes to wanting to possibly get away for a few weeks. Do you find it challenging taking the dogs with you or are there plenty of places that will take dogs on as guests as well as yourselves?"........Keep on keeping on boyz!!

    Guys this was a wonderful video. I am glad to see you to actually relaxing and taking some time off and answering questions. I would like to see a tour of your land property site closer to when you get finished so we could Orient ourselves to where things are. The occasional aerial shots that you show help but it would be good just to have a tour. I like everyone else in your fan base really look forward to Sunday afternoons and your videos. You two are really working hard to get your dream done. Just continue to be alert to potential dangers and stay safe. Love from a very hot and steamy Southern Middle Tennessee.

    It’s so wonderful and grounding to hear you reflect on your progress, yourselves and each other. For myself I find as I get older I can more easily take a deep breath and tell myself “Okay, this is happening” and not just a hesitant ‘I can get through this’ but “what can I do to help myself get through this”. And that adversities can lead to real accomplishments. I was divorced and found a new form of myself. I’ve been displaced by wildfires and counted my blessings. I lost my job (as many did) during Covid and found a new path. We all have goals but life will always have it’s own spin on how we achieve them. Finding and recognizing our inner strengths leads to true happiness. You have worked so hard, and continue to do so, it’s enjoyable to watch you reap your well deserved rewards and to feel your pride in your accomplishments. I am so here for it, I hope to see you on Wednesday. 😉👍

    Regarding the chickens and ducks, I have had both and while they may not seem it, they are a lot of work, especially if you don't have a plan for their eggs. They require a great deal of maintenance to keep clean and need a constant source of water in order to digest their food, which will require heat in the winter. They also attract predators and rodents which eat both their food and eggs.

    Well, I see that it didn't take that long for the heat wave we are having here (Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA) to reach you. Yes to taking it easy, especially during this heat wave! Heat strokes are no fun. So good to see you relaxing in the middle of the river, in the shade - where were Charlie & Eddie? Back in the air-conditioned sphere (dome)? Hello Lily! Is the river on your land or part of the vast forest you are living in?
    And a big hell yes to a Wednesday vlog - parts 2, 3, 4... - as much as you want to share with us. I mentioned in an earlier reply to one of your vlogs, that I will watch your vlogs 2 -3 times a week until you post a new one on Sunday ( and have mild to severe panic attacks when you don't post on Sundays - but that's not your fault - sometimes life gets in the way.)
    I would love to see you entertain us with a walking tour, complete with Todd's comments and Tyler's facial expressions. And I will be riveted to the TV when you build your 4 season-growing dome - I think my sister is completely sold on that idea!
    Love to all five of you and to Mel, for all his hard work, trenching out the ditches (and maybe putting up with you guys...LOL!)
    Take care! See you Wednesday and Sunday! XOXOXOXOXOXO!!!
