Love your “S car go” joke! Great video. Smiled thru the whole thing. Jeremy, you sound very upbeat. ❤️ That was the best part. Your family story is a keeper🌷
Jeremy, this clarifies so much. Great video and insight into MBF. I like your take on wildlife management for your 70 acres. Worst thing you can do is take on too much livestock responsibility too soon, so good call. Thanks for sharing! Cheers.
Watching you from Los Angeles is a real novelty... it is so hard to imagine all that snow. 70 acres... my goodness. Keep up the good work! We’re all watching.🤗
Great video I am all over the place watching this videos I have to get organized and start from the first we live in New Brunswick to place called Beersville north of Moncton like watching your videos thanks for sharing have a great day
As a veteran living off grid a good tractor is a great thing to have 60 hp plus is tax free in Ontario gardens are great and you can give all your extra to food bank.
Lol, loved the joke!! I was raised on fishing and hunting food!! We had chickens and rabbits for awhile!! When my Dad and older brothers were alive I was the official meat processer! Oh by the way keep that weather your way!! Great video! 👍🐔🐈💞
I agree with your plans for your homestead,wild game is the way to go (i was raised on it)...raising animals is a lot of work ,time consuming,expensive and ties you down..great video!
Love it. Wish we got more snow here in Oklahoma. A successful person is one who has a plan and sticks to it. Keep it up! Don’t let the cabin fever get to ya haha. Can’t wait to see you take a moose. Do you video your hunts?
Had to chuckle! My wife wanted to know when we would go home to Michigan why couldn’t go in the spring or early summer. I would explain that spending time with her family was important. (Her brother’s have some of the best deer stands and fields) ha ha!
Can't leave a fellow Canadian behind. Good idea on hunting. Once I get my property. I will be doing the same having chickens. Except I will have most likely have goats for land clearing, milk, cheese, and butters, also my wife makes homemade soaps and such. And maybe a pig once and a while, becouse bacon. If I get the property I want it has maple trees, cranberry, blueberries, many other wild berries. And a small lake on it.
What works for some people doesn't work for everyone, you just have to do what works for you and your family. Growing up on a big family farm and ranch having livestock really ties not only a lot of your time down it literally ties you down. You can't leave for more than a day at most because those animals totally depend on you taking care of every need. That's the biggest reason we got rid of our animals and just concentrated on our farming which still ties a person down unless you go to an automated watering system which we did after many years. Great video guy's!
I agree, do what it is that keeps you enjoying what you do because once it becomes a chore then the fun goes out of it. Also, you're allowed to change your mind every day lol.. enjoyed the talk.
Man, you all are living the dream. Seriously, I'd love to live the way you all do - peace and quiet, freedom and just living life for you. Your channel has been an inspiration, great to watch, and has been informative. Please keep up the great videos. As I've said before, your channel is the best one on UA-cam and my favourite by far!
I'm new here. Just checked out your videos.Really nice setup you got going here.A work in progress. nothing wrong with that.With this video and a tour of what you have done so far. You mentioned both times about updating your solar. I can't understand why off gridders don't use wind power as well.On cloudy days,in the rain and at night. It's no good for solar panels.So adding wind turbines to your off grid energy source. Will make up for those times the solar doesn't work.Just a thought I wanted to share with you.The hardest part is choosing the right wind turbine for your area.Depending on how hard the wind blows.
'Live off the land as much as possible'. Nothing wrong of considering other possibilities! Fishers are dangerous animals. I had them around living in the mountains. Patty 🤗 Calgary AB
A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. As long as you do what you all feel good about. Follow your dreams and we will follow with you. Warm hugs and God bless. and yeah, guard the chickens.. they are family too
I must have missed a video. Would you mind telling me what is going on with moving? I saw the tour of a house you were looking at a while ago. Still moving or staying at MBF? Just wondering.
Are you watching on a laptop? Or a cell phone, if I a cell phone, they won't be there. I will add the links to our description and about page to make it easier. Thanks Eddie.
Hey Jeremy have a look at Kapper Outdoors Ytube channel. He puts in food plots to bring the deer in. Great channel. I would only clear and fence in about ten acres around your cabin. Some for pigs goats any other animals you like, sell the off spring for extra income to the other homesteads around you. Put in some camp cabins for hunters to rent them. 2 day hunt $250 7 day Hunt $450. Meals included Keep some of the off spring to feed the hunters. Just a couple of ideas for you to take your mind of cabin fever this cold winter for you guys. The price is just an example you know your area better so you know what to charge. Make it so they want to come back time and time again.
Im a hunter and fisherman and I enjoy raising a few chickens. 👍 Another awesome video 👍👍 Might I ask what type of camera you video with ? I need to find a decent camera that won't break the bank. Thanks and God Bless
Deer will mow your garden down in no time and you have to account for the cost of guns ammo deer stands and any other cost associated with hunting and fishing but nothing wrong with that
Yessir. Nanimo Bars are the best. confirmed. I think putting your effort into managing your property to maintain wildlife populations for ethical harvest is a sound long-term investment. Hunting is an ethical and healthy way to provide some food!! Awesome!
Try turnips for your deer plant a small patch they love them it’s they will eat the tops off of them in the fall and come back and dig them up in the winter. It’s a good and cheap crop for deer.. as well as corn.. farm animals I agree they can be costly to keep.. I stick mainly to birds chickens, turkey chickens will forage for themselves pretty much if you can allow them to free range ( not a lot of predators ) including birds such as hawks, eagles and owls. Also one goose if your going to have chickens a goose will let you know if there is a predator around they are actually pretty aggressive too from what I’ve seen of your chickens and the way they lay eggs they are probably first year chickens after two or three years you’ll probably want to think about replacing them and using the old chickens for soup. Chickens don’t lay many eggs once they get about 3 years old.. and you might consider a pig or two they will also forage quite a bit and at about 7 months old they are big enough to butcher and they don’t cost that much to buy... I think chickens and maybe a pig or two would be all I would raise and maybe a turkey or two and ONE goose
My grandfather used to tell that joke. Good memories. Do you have to bow hunt or do you have to have a license for rifle hunting? I know Canada laws are different from the US. Just curious.
I like to see that car, myself. 😂😂😂. Your land gets more beautiful every time it snows. Even how it lands is different. My sons, ages 36 to 47, were all taught to do some cooking, gardening, minor hand sewing, fishing ,and hunting in their younger years. My youngest still hits duck and deer. The middle one gardens. The oldest lives in Florida and really likes beach ocean fishing. Don't forget in three or four years to teach Sam fishing and hunting so she can survive if she must become self-sustaining. God Bless
lol funny joke... keep up the wonderful work you both do . love your chicken ... sweet Daughter... i love fishing but never really got a fish yet lol .... maybe this spring.
You can also trap crawdads all year round, It does not cost much to buy half a pig or go halves to raise one with someone else. Wild meat does not destroy the environment, it has more protein, and less harmful fat content. Find a Grass that will have larger grain heads, with your clover. If a deer's nose is on the ground you can move towards it, when it lifts it head up, don't move , and don't blink.
@@scottc346 lol, hard to know who's an elder and who isn't on here, I have had people my age or younger say things about me being young haha, all the best Scott :)
Huh? If you are commenting on another comment by me then you have to keep it in that thread or I will not know what you are talking about. We get a lot of comments. I’m guessing you are the one who commented about my wonderful voice. I am glad you like it so much. There is plenty more videos of me talking for you to enjoy :)
Had a fisher cat kill off 17 out of 18 young turkey one night. It didn’t eat them just killed them...that last turkey was so traumatized it only lived another day or so.
"S"Car Go. You're killing me 😂. Love your videos and wish I was up there in the great white North 👍 In my eyes you guys are living the dream. Plus you're probably in one of the safest places to be right now with this Covid-19 starting to spread panic. Panic buying is taking place now so if you need anything you better order now. Be safe and keep us posted 🙂🙏
Diversity.....you are doing it different than other Homesteaders and Off Grid families. Which I like. I watch at least 5 different Homesteaders and each one has different goals . This should be an excited year as you make progress in and around the house .
Smart direction to go, i don`t fully understand the thing with goats..yes the babies are cute but besides keeping your grass and weeds cut what is the purpose unless you are a breeder. Chickens are the best critters to keep for sure. LOVE THE CHANNEL ! Check out Simple Living Alaska, they are very much like you guys, their gardening videos are really good.
lol lol lol :D Great joke! :) Is a fisher like a weasel? Chickens are easy to keep though right? They shouldn't be too expensive either? At least you don't gotta buy your eggs :) But the idea of hunting and fishing and having a garden is fun too! Was watching a youtube channel based in Alaska and they were saying that they signed up for the road kill list, where the police will call those on the list to come and collect a dead moose or deer and can salvage it for it's meat. Do you guys have that in Canada?
It is similar to a marten but much bigger and both are part of the weasel 'family'. We are loving the chickens :) . The chickens are cheap and easy and give us eggs everyday :) . I don't know if we have a road kill list here but I wouldn't be interested in that unless I was in real desperate times.
“in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths” A wise proverb for sure. Make your plans for what you’d like to do with the land but accept that God is the one who helps you realize those plans and sometimes his plans are different from our plans. Looks like you guys are doing that. Hope your health is good! (Both of you) Hope little Sam is good also. Love the channel. Can’t wait for trout season to open up here in Pennsylvania. Will be heading up north of here to our rented cabin to fly fish. Good luck with everything. Keep the Faith and keep on “trucking”
Chickens only for us.....bunnies and bambi I hunt from a ground blind and treestand, plus feed my deer yr round, apples carrots corn molasses and minerals keeps them healthy 👍
Good joke! Best to do what you love and are best suited to. Imagine the workload of raising lots of animals and then keeping predators out. Hope you get that nasty Fisher thing before there are more. Love your channel!
I'm not a thumbs down kinda guy. But I was a little disappointed with the video. Key word is a little. I thought it was gonna be something else compared to what seems like a walking talking head. No malice intended. It's just that some people like to know why people may have thumbs down. Again I didn't but wanted to share my thoughts.
Have u thought about opening up your land to hunters and u be a guide and charge and build a small cabin for that. It would be extra income. And u can manage what u open your land two. Just a thought
@@jessicalubien5424 Our address is available below our videos and on our about page :) Jeremy & Ashley Lewis PO BOX 451 CHIPMAN STN MAIN CHIPMAN, NB E4A 3N5
raising animals is daily work .. pros and cons to it. most people i have seen or know or even on youtube do it with in mind that they are also selling some of what they raise to pay for it. if i had the land that is how i would do it. I love to hunt and i am also ex military.. eastern ontario here. You have the set up for what you have in mind to do. And more of a abundance of animals andvarity to choose from. Thing with a garden is if you let the deer and other animals graze from it they will in a night eat it all. I have seen it happen. So it is a mix f keeping them out of it and allowing them some of it. Just you dont wnat it to be another feed plot for them. Once you get it going and figure out how much say potatoes you need a year and you grow itand store it properly plus extra "in case of" the amount of money you will save in groceries is huge. So that is also something you can figure in to the cost of setting up a garden and you can do it on the cheap but all depends on what resorces you have on hand as well. Raised beds are best and easiest to manage. No dig is another option. lots of options. but in the end you will need fencing of some sort . or smart planting ( garlic and garlic chive keeeps deer away) lots to consider lots of ways to do it. You have a great start for what you want . cheers brother god bless and keep at'er .
That Stove is so pretty, and they way Ashley showed to clean the Glass is awesome !!
👍👍
Happy New Week..blessings and much love to you..😘🤗

Escargot is a snail, so S-Car-Go.....get it ?
Good joke! Best to do what you love and are best suited to. Imagine the workload of raising lots of animals and then keeping predators out. Hope you get that nasty Fisher thing before there are more. Love your channel!
Nanaimo bars are the greatest !!!
I know eh!
I'm not a thumbs down kinda guy. But I was a little disappointed with the video.
Key word is a little. I thought it was gonna be something else compared to what seems like a walking talking head.
No malice intended. It's just that some people like to know why people may have thumbs down.
Again I didn't but wanted to share my thoughts.
Right on, the video was a walking talking head, haha.
Have u thought about opening up your land to hunters and u be a guide and charge and build a small cabin for that. It would be extra income. And u can manage what u open your land two. Just a thought
We have actually thought about that for black bear hunts.

Nice plans for the future, but you need to have much money to realize that! e. g. A tractor costs money!
The tractor is the big expense that will have to wait for now. As far as hunting goes, I have all the gear for that :)
Great joke. I checked out the merch. I'm considering the leggings or the hat. Probably the hat! lol
LOL, come on go for the leggings.

Cute es car go😀😂🤣😅joke
raising animals is daily work .. pros and cons to it. most people i have seen or know or even on youtube do it with in mind that they are also selling some of what they raise to pay for it. if i had the land that is how i would do it. I love to hunt and i am also ex military.. eastern ontario here. You have the set up for what you have in mind to do. And more of a abundance of animals andvarity to choose from. Thing with a garden is if you let the deer and other animals graze from it they will in a night eat it all. I have seen it happen. So it is a mix f keeping them out of it and allowing them some of it. Just you dont wnat it to be another feed plot for them. Once you get it going and figure out how much say potatoes you need a year and you grow itand store it properly plus extra "in case of" the amount of money you will save in groceries is huge. So that is also something you can figure in to the cost of setting up a garden and you can do it on the cheap but all depends on what resorces you have on hand as well. Raised beds are best and easiest to manage. No dig is another option. lots of options. but in the end you will need fencing of some sort . or smart planting ( garlic and garlic chive keeeps deer away) lots to consider lots of ways to do it. You have a great start for what you want . cheers brother god bless and keep at'er .
Thanks Randy, we will set something up, all the best :)
