Thank you so much for all your support! Apparel link- www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/wild-wonderful-off-grid
Very cool that you guys went with Matt and Mere at Bunker Branding!! Being a fellow Mountaineer, I'll definitely get some merch.
Loved the Joe Dirt costume....Ellie looked great as Iron Man.
Being a huge fan of y'alls, I was ecstatic to see bunkerbranding as well. I feel like i spend most of my ti.e between your channel and Off The Ranch. Random, i know. But it made me happy.
Don't know if you know the trick for sanding. if you get it smooth when mudding you can just use a damp sponge to finish it instead of sanding.
You guys are awesome... I love the humor. Great intro. First time I watched, I missed the Jeggings on Josh, Dude needs a few more Little Debbie's to fill that pair... Hah!
Wild Wonderful Off-Grid great to see you guys partners with Matt!
The change in video quality from the beginning to now is truly amazing.
We have the same stupid childish sense of humour, absolutely love it. You guys are awesome, don't ever stop being who you are! And yeah, I just ordered a t-shirt, all the way to Sweden! You have my full support. Keep it up.
Much love from the Vikings across the ocean.
You guys have so much patience. Drywall is not a fun task. You make everything look fun. Great channel, thanks for keeping your viewers entertained.
My mother and dad built and remodeled a couple of the homes we grew up in. Anything my mom did took 4 times longer than dad. But dad always commented that her work meant there was 1/4 less work that he had to do. Working together might be why 68 years later they are still together :)
Absolutely wonderful opening sequence Erin - the sweep of the colours was outstanding.
One of the best channels on UA-cam, with two of the most appealing people on the planet. I'm amazed HGTV hasn't approached you guys with a contract to augment Chip and Joanna Gains. You'd have huge ratings. Absolutely love your family and the obvious joy you spread through the internet.
Couple comments on this episode's content. As a forty-year general contractor who started out remodeling old '20s-era bungalows in Atlanta, I've seen too many accidents to count with nail guns -- particularly eye injuries -- mostly caused by "bump-nailing" where the operator hits a nail already embedded in the wood, and the subsequent nail goes flying, striking a nearby worker. Please Josh & Erin wear eye protection at all times, and make sure not to "sweep" one another with the muzzle of the nailer. Nearly 40,000 people a year end up in the ER with serious nail-gun related injuries.
Next unsolicited tidbit: When taping (as opposed to skim-coating) use smaller taping knives (4" is good), and you'll cut down on wasted mud and hours of sanding. Much love to you and your family.
Just bought the hoodie. Have enjoyed you guys so much...hoping to contribute to Josh early retirement. I'm retired electric lineman after 40yrs.as of this year & relate to a lot of what Josh does including doing everything myself. God bless you guys. I hope life just keeps getting better for you.
Thank you so much- that means a lot! And congratulations on your retirement! 🎉
Watching you both work and make jokes together, I won't lie it keeps me calm. God bless this family, you guys keep thriving
It's been a dream of mine to live off grid for a couple years now. These videos make a distant fantasy a possible reality. Keep making these videos, you guys are changing lives. God bless!
Ellie as Iron Man. Awesome!
Glad you teamed up with Bunker. Keep on creating.
Love watching these old video it show how hard y'all work. God bless y'all.
"We did it.. And we did it together". Love that. Keep on guys.
from Russia with respect and love!you are a good family and good people!
Fun series. I'm a retired handyman. I respect how hard you both work, and love each other with your teasing. Hugs from Peoria, IL.
This marriage is perfect. Two people with common goals and beliefs. I want what you and Erin have. This channel is gonna blow up soon. Josh you are a very very lucky man.
The production value has come a long way. Drone shots, funny jump cuts, more and more humour all while still sharing good information. Keep up the good work!
It is a sin that you all have so much fun working together. The love comes through. I remember when my ex and I tried to wallpaper a bathroom. The bathroom was in a house made in the 1940s. Fun time. But not so much fun getting it done!
For the first coat of mud I usually use a 4" knife. I use wider knives for subsequent mudding. No matter: if you can't have fun doing something it's probably not worth doing. It's cool that you're doing business with Matt & Meredith. I eagerly await your next installment.
AWESOME! So happy to see you've joined the Bunker Branding family! Hopefully you guys can go help Matt on the Renovation Ranch!!
Bunker huh.hmmm.big timing.go head widit
Erin, what you lack in mudding skills, you more than make up for with your mad video skills. I started watching this channel a few month ago and decided to watch them all from the start to present day, and with each episode, I see an improvement on your video technique. Also, Josh, you drywall skills for fantastic considering you are not a "drywall person". Lov'n this channel!
I have to say that I truly look forward to your videos. The both of you never fail to make me laugh. Thank you for making my day.
Wow guys, You are so lucky. All that autumn colour Envious much? I most certainly am. Your videos are very well produced. More enjoyable to watch than many Professional Channels.
Awesome that you are working with Bunker Branding. Matt and Mere will not steer you wrong.
You guys are really really good and funny. Thank you so much . Each of your movie is like a big sunshine in the day.
My vote goes to both of you as 100 each. You both are doing a tremendous job of building a sustainable environment home for your family. I luv your videos, God bless you and your family.
#BUNKERBRANDING!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!
Love the love and laughter you show. That is what makes these vids so special. Thanks for sharing.
You guys have the right attitude about doing the jobs yourself, You can be proud of all the work you've done together. It's your house and soon to be home, who cares if everything isn't perfect, (it still came out beautiful) you did it yourselves and that goes a long way. If you were to do this work for someone else, that is an entirely different story. I'm the same way, I do my own work on my own home, not perfect, but it's the best I can do, again, it's MY home. I would never do this for someone else, I know my limits. I am so proud of you guys in everything you do, and do it together and Erin works right by your side Josh, awesome, my wife works with me also, and I love it. God Bless.
You all was nice at putting on the mud and doing the drywall work and again you all do a great job and the kids will love what you all have done in the home.
That is so awesome you guys are using Bunker Branding. Good people working with good people is a recipe for success!
What beautiful landscape. Outstandìng. You, the kids and Chuckee are very, very lucky.
You two crack me up! Learning how to build a house and having fun doing it. Thats what it's all about. Great job!
What makes watching your episodes and vids so much enjoyable... is because YOU guys are enjoying yourselves! Keep it up, it's a joy to watch and laugh along with you from Tucson. Cheers!
OMG!!!! Seeing Josh in those jeans, I am going to have to seek therapy to get that image out of my head!!!!! Lol
A tip on when your doing dry wall muddling. Take a damp sponge and go over the mud when it’s just about set up or dry. It will smooth it out so you don’t have to sand as much.
You all are doing a great job things are looking good. Here is the great thing about all of this. When you’re all done the satisfaction you’re going to have to know you put in all that hard work to build your own home and farm!
Use a smaller 4" dry wall knife for the screws and first tape coat and it will be less messy and go faster with less waste. It's also easier to pull it tight!
Another tip is to clean the drywall bucket sides before closing the lid, this keep the mud on the sides from drying and then falling into your "clean" mud next time you use it. For long term storage of a open bucket, clean the sides, smooth out the top of the mud and cover it with a layer of clean water...it will store like this for years...just don't let it freeze. Next time you use the mud either blend the water in if it isn't to much or just pour it out.
With the weather in our state. I believe more people are going to find ways to go off the grid too. Doing things together is all tjat really matters. Learning curve is always good.
I was so excited as well when I saw Bunker Branding! I think it's super cool that UA-camrs are helping UA-camrs! I have already put in our order! Cant wait for my stuff to get here!!! Im so excited!!
So enjoy the videos and the joy you both share. Keep it up, it helps us all to deal with life’s little trials.
Loved the intro and how you work together and laughter. Love the channel.
FYI... 13:04 A drywall sponge is much easier and better than sanding on those thick areas over the screws. Just use any sponge, get it wet, but ring it out completely, then go over those thick areas. It took me a lot of sanding, before I discovered this trick. It also prevents the drywall paper from getting torn up with sandpaper, and no DUST! Yay!
Love you guys!!!
Yeahh, shirts! The drone footage was amazing as well! The colours. And happy for you that the house is moving along so great. And I love the scream at 1:28
I can't stop laughing at the opening intro with the costume changes!!!🤣🤣 you guys are so fun to watch! Thanks for sharing a little part of your life! ❤
BUNKER BRANDING!!!!! DOCTOR MATT! DEMOLITIA! AND WILD WONDERFUL OFF-GRID!!!!! I knew I liked you guys for more than just your funny antics. I love all these channels! I have to buy a shirt now. Keep up the great content and continued success with all your en devours. I can't wait for new videos from you guys.
Wow ! What a wonderful piece of land in autumn !!!!
i watch other "off-grid" youtube channels
this one is by far the best :)))))
because you're the most real / humble
hope you always stay that way :))))
Bravo, I'm glad when there are people like you!
Good luck in your future endeavors!
Greetings from Bulgaria!!!
I usually watch this kind of content for entertainment, but that was super informative as well. Thank you very much!
"We did it and we did it together"...that is what's important...great team!
You did it and you did it together, that is what counts in my book. Also you had fun too and in the end, that is more important. It may not be perfect but you did it. So you have to sand it, there are worse things in life than that. As you do it, you will get better. Trunk or treat, never heard of that but sounds so neat. Kids will love it I bet. Have fun
Just do you guys know, you are my two favorite people on the interwebs! You’re also an inspiration to my family as we begin our search for land in the TN mountains and building our off grid property. Y’all just rock, and Love the gear!
Josh is one cool dude. He will do anything for a laugh. Over the episodes, please share stories from your past, all the funny ones, I am sure you guys have a lot of them.
Stepping up the game guys! New logo, drone footage, merch, cool editing...I remember when you guys had vertical cell phone footage! Congrats on your success you two 😊
You guys are so awesome, I was having a real awful morning,but I knew how to change it! The skinny jeans helped a lot!😎 Thank you for being you!
I thought for sure it was gonna be a baby announcment!! Love it!! Watching your relationship makes all of us wanna improve on ours!!
I’m holding out for the red flannel shirt! You’re doing a great job on the drywall.
Now that was funny, you guys are something else. God bless you guys and your lovely family.
YAUL ARE PROBABLY THE BEST ONES ON THE INTERNET ON HOUSE BUILDING.....
Erin, the queen of come-backs, nailed Josh again.. haha Good to see you are choosing Bunker Branding for your merchandise.
Just good times! Glad I waited on breakfast with those skinny jeans! Erin could make a burlap sack look good! Great family and the love and respect comes through the lenses!!
One of the FUNNIEST videos yet!
Had us laughing all the way through!
Thank you guys for sharing such a blessed and wonderful journey!
The trees changing are SPECTACULAR!
We'll be ordering goodies this weekend for sure!
Creative introduction!😁😁😁👍👍👍
Love you guys!
Bob and Mandy in Az!
The editing is a talent. It's not easy. Good job!
I like the way you explain electrical. Being in the city and being a carpenter we aren't allowed to touch wires and I respect that. I do notice that in the States the rules aren't as strict as here. It's the only thing I've yet to explore and the solar off grid stuff has renewed my interest. Just saying I appreciate the ease in which you explain it and make it simple enough to follow along with.
OMG the beginning of the video had me dying with laughter! Thanks so much for taking the time to entertain us as well as educate us.
You guys are awesome! The balance and content of your videos, together with the editing is superb.
Another delightful fun video ! You folks are the bomb! Such cool interaction . It’s all coming together so well.
Found this channel like a month ago. Can't get enough. You guys are awesome. Love the merch!
Never disappointed. Another video worth watching. Well done
The autumncolours in the surroundings r amazing 😍
I love how you guys are different but you get one another it's a good thing.
My wife and I think you're a cute couple, we have enjoyed watching your process on building your dream. We too did this, 31 years ago, not many couples have the patience. You will be blessed in many ways that will reveal themselves later in life.
I really enjoy the humor from you guys! Also I wanted to tell you how I " sand" drywall...I use a big wet sponge that I keep dipping in a bucket of water and squeezing it out..the results are the same without dust from sanding everywhere!! Keep me laughing you guys! You are doing awesome!
Erin this is a family channel. Just because she is a girl definitely doesn't mean she can't be ironman. The mud I completely agree with josh when you sand please use a firm, flat, damp to wet sponge. The wetness will soften the the mud and smear it into the low spots while knocking down the dry spots. Don't apply hard pressure and just let the sponge do all the work. This will eliminate the nightmare of spreading dust throughout every square inch of the house. I love the gear as soon as I can I will be ordering a hoodie and a shirt for my wife while patiently waiting on the wild flannel. Sorry Erin my vote is for Josh any man that can pull off those jeans deserves this win. Thanks as always you two the drone and new format are cool. And last but not least congrats little man on the great camera work your son definitely has talent behind the camera and a bright future ahead of him, all three do with such good parents have a great day.
This is the best merch release EVER!
For a second there I thought y'all were going a Matt Best video...lol.
You two have so much fun, the laughter and smiles are contagious.
And then I see you are working with Matt & Mere down here. Awesome.
I love the way you pick on each other and laugh together at the zings! Great videos and great progress! Thanks for sharing. :-)
Your channel is such a fun channel to watch. I look forward to new videos to come out all the time since I went back to watch all the old videos once I discovered your channel. Keep up the great work it is appreciated.
You guys are great....been watching since the beginning and I can't get enough of the vids, so keep up the great work
Love the opening with the amazing colours of the trees it is so beautiful , it really is xxxx
just to hear you laugh while building this amazing house, its the whole difference from other builds, you guys are awesomw
And using bunker branding for your merch is awesome
Wow the cinematography presented in this video is fantastic, watched most of your old videos up until your current videos, I am impressed, keep up the great work will continue to watch your videos. God Bless your family.
love the end with the kids costume and jumping up lol hugssss from Ontario Canada
The merchandise is very attractive. Will definitely check it out. Fantastic ending with your trunk or treaters!
love that you are using bunker branding..youtubers supporting each other!
Keep videos coming,my wife and I enjoy every video.
You guys are awesome. I love watching your videos. They are inspiring. You two are hilarious.
great looking outfits your kids are in.. sure was glad your surprise was not what I was thinking it was.....
Awesome, can't wait for the finish. Love this couple. Get it
I just saw a tip re. taping, and tried it the next day. It works great. Simply wet the tape by dipping in a bowl/container of water and apply over mud. It probably made the job 25% easier.
Your girly scream was the best. I rewatched it several times.I laughed way harder than I should have 🤣🤣😋
Best tutorial on taping and mudding I've seen!! Josh, you wear the pants well!! Can't wait for the next video installment. Hope you had fun at Trunk or Treat. Enjoy the day. Ray L
Ya'll are awesome !! Thank you for developing this amazing channel...Seriously, if there isn't a veiwer out there that say's they don't smile or enjoy your laughter, they are liars...Keep doing what your doing..Because what your doing is amazing !!!.......Side note : We 5XL's want to buy some apparel too..
Bonjour,
Vidéo instructive..
On apprend énormément
Belle intro ;))
Et de jolie paysage...
From one Josh to another! Congrats on the success of the channel guys! Great meeting you in Virginia!
So nice to meet you Josh! Once we move into this first portion of the house we would love to have you out here to visit!
Speaking from many years of experience, I have always used a smaller trowel for the screw holes. Typically, a 6-inch trowel... it leaves much less mud to sand and it has more flex which also helps a lot!
Love watching you guys, I'm gonna get jeggings just because Josh modeled it out perfectly.
hey guys it's amazing see you building you home! love to see! hugs from brasil!
Josh I love those quick connectors I use them in my 4 foot lights went replacing my bulbs with 4 ft 120v led bulbs, no more wire nuts.😊
Awesome you guys are with Bunkerbranding. Love the channel and everything you all post. Keep up the good work!!
