First Time We Saw Our Land
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2016
- 8 months ago, myself, my wife and our 5 kids, left our family, friends and a city of about 3.5 million people for a small town of 5000 people. We traveled 800 miles to a rental home we had only seen pictures of to begin our new life. We are currently pursuing the perfect piece of property to make the homestead. We have 4 months left on our lease. We intend to produce videos of the process of building and ultimately severing the umbilical to the power grid as well as exploring this lifestyle that so many from our past lived without question.

Dude you are killing me with the dream ,the vision, the execution. The kids have no idea how special this is.
This guy is very inspirational!!!
Came here after seeing the 3 year time lapse video and... now I HAVE to watch the entire thing. I have been dying to do something like this for forever. I have a feeling I am going to learn a lot watching your journey and hopefully someday I’ll get to go on my own!
I followed your strategy in 2002 when leaving the Boston area (Milton) and moving to rural central Maine. I made a number of trips to the area I was interested in and looked for "deals". I finally found a bank repossessed property and got a steep discount. 3 bdrm ranch and 40 x 40 garage that needed lots of work. But I bought it for cash and I am mortgage free.
Since i may not get my thirst quenched on whats coming next and videos as i keep on waiting for more .. i have started from the very first video of your and look how quickly kids grow.. i am father of three from Pakistan and love your work. a long way you have come and keep it up!
We know how this feels. we moved 2500 miles from California to Wisconsin to start our own homestead and put down our roots.
Wow!! thats a move
MrsRedHoney homestead
That is where our family will be coming from. We are gonna do some research before deciding where to move. It's nice to hear people have moved out of cali like us.
@@mamajohnson50 How you doing ?.
you popped up on my feed around episode 340 and i watched back to back till 406 and waiting for new episodes is torture so i came to start the chapter all over while i wait. Can't wait to have a farm/ranch of my own.
Congratulations! Im from Argentina, very far away, very diferent country and culture. But the dream is the same... Having a home for my family away from the city... and the bankers! Haha congratulations again.
I watched roughly 10 or 12 of your videos, but decided to start from the beginning. Thank you, for taking the time out to document everything from the beginning. May The Most High continue to bless you and your family.
I came across this channel about a year ago.. its so inspirational to watch the progress this entire time. just coming to watch this video for the first time. I also live in idaho :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this very informative video. We are a small happy clan that donates and gives advice abundantly. keep us in mind realise it is ‘old news’, but history is who we are today. History is the base from which we travel.Thank you for the time you spent In sharing this precious history. ❤️❤️🇦🇺❤️❤️
Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer Graham Bolt from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?💙
What a beautiful beginning.
Always wanted to live in place like that... Well done
“You got flip flops on, and your light saber...” I love that. Babies do what they’re gonna do especially at that age. I wish I had more pictures of some of the things my babies used to dress themselves in. So silly and such good times!
Stumbled upon your channel, best of luck
Thank you!
so cute children Masha Allah
Appreciate your videos very much. All the best for you + your family!
Thank You for Your Video.
Great Video. I respect you and your family to such a high level!
Man!!! This is the best thing by far man!!! You are an inspiration!!!
You sure chose a beautiful spot. Decided to go back and view some of your older ones.
hi! i came from the future (OCT 2019) and I can guarantee that emotions and stories are still more fantastic than ever.
A start of a wonderful journey ❤️. God bless.
Wow. Watching this now and looking back. What an amazing journey you have taken us on Cedar and Red!
Awesome piece of earth so beautiful. It’s just breath taking y’all are very blessed and fortunate to live there.
Good luck and widh lots of happiness in your new house.
Beautiful view. Beautiful dream. The end result of all the hard work you put in is amazing. God Bless You All.
I think what you got going on is great. I wish I was 30 or so years younger I would have done something like that I wish you and your family well and good luck!!!
That driveway looks super fun! lol
You are correct about the size of the town. I grew up in a small town in NEW JERSEY (there were and there are some small towns in NJ) with 1,100 souls. My class was the largest ever in the school system with 68 students. We were all buddies and friends. When I started high school we moved to a town of 23,000! That was good for me in that each of my teachers of a major course had a Phd. in the subject they taught. I left home at 17 with a scholarship to study languages in Germany. A perfect fit for me - I lived in a town of less than 1,000; my class was about 40. What a sense of community! Now after 15 towns, five states and two countries I live on 1/10 acre with a 75 acre lake across the street. This is a multi-generational community and I am following my family roots. At 73, it is a joy to open the back door in warm weather and hear the laughter and yelling of young children just being kids. Gone is the transient yuppie town we lived in for 27 years.
Your family is beautiful!!
Thank you!
Wow this is amazing! In that moment you didn’t even know that you will build a house whit everything that is necessary by yourself... you are amazing keep going
You sir, are a hero.
I not started following your journey, blessings on you and your family.
I’m starting a binge on vlog #1 - 11/10/2020. Divine intervention is real!!
wow, so many similarities....so many similarities. It is so amazing.
The views are incredible, hence why we bought land in Idaho as well.
New to the channel and looking forward to watching your other videos!
Thank you!
I need to watch from the beginning. I have watch the 9mins time lapse and im so into it. Someday I'll build my own house like my dad does. Good luck to you and your family.
Starting out at # 1 and going to watch all the videos 😊
I had discovered your channel about the time you built the play house and been hooked ever since. you mentioned putting everything in sequence so here I go down the whole road. Ha Ha got a little dizzy watching this first one. your skills have improved a lot. thanks for putting them in order it's going to be fun
Saw this video pop up at the end of today's video, went to watch it... your mindset really hasn't changed. :)
We live in Gilbert, so probably near where you all came from. I'm rooting for you all and wish you well 😊
Came back to see how it all started. So awesome that you are not living on the land and at the next big milestone in this journey.
You came across my feed. The video count was in the 400’s. So now I have subscribed and will give you a thumbs up on every video.
Be safe. 😊🇨🇦
That was a difficult decision but rewarding👍🏻
You guys did a good job!!
I hope you guys keep, making videos also don’t stop being a positive impact on people. We need more positivity on the world.
Couldn't have said it better myself..
Looks like a great property with potential. Will follow you and your family's adventure. Someday I may live off the grid. I love the outdoors but I love the ocean. I'm from So. California and it's getting crazy here. Good luck to you and God bless.
I love your channel so much. Since I am out of fresh episodes, I decided to start watching from the beginning. I became a subscriber about 6 months ago so there is a lot that I haven't seen yet. One thing is for certain, I believe that you ended up with the perfect spot.
Does he stop smacking his lips at some point?
Just started watching in 2020, can you believe? I live in Arizona and honestly, your home looks amazing to live in compared to the hot oven that is this state. I wouldn't live in Phoenix for the exact reasons so I'm glad you and your family have fulfilled your dreams! 💙
I came across your channel and I cant get enough of your info... I am from Az... the valley... I work in the school district... In the past say 3-4 years i have never seen the community at this moment of unrest... i have huge concerns now... My husband are trying to "bug out" also... We are leaving family behind but health and well being is the top of our list... i cant wait to see more videos... good fortune for you and your family...
I agree with you on the valley. I spent almost 37 years in AZ and watched it go from bad to worse. Too many people there for me. Good luck making your escape!
It is pretty cool to see your first video compared to all you have accomplished up until now. Living the dream. Congratulations!!! I love your contents. I now patiently wait every Sunday to see a new video. 🙂
Your hard work is commendable..👍✨☺️✌️☘️🤍 be well and all the best.. and yes there are no mistakes there are only experiences ..
Seen your 3 year time lapse and going to embark on binge watching your videos! I'd love to do the same thing!
Only started a few months ago but so into it I am going back to start. Your family are so different but your attitude has not changed. Keep it up. Central uk has hot and cold but not to your extremes.
Awesome! Love to hear. We are currently going that road ourselves! We currently live in Utah and have been looking for some sort of off grid property in Idaho! Good luck to you and your family!
+Karen Lemperle Same to yours. We looked around in Utah a little but really wanted to be in Idaho. We love it. Keep in touch on where you're looking.
The dog running off in this vlog reminded me of a scene from the movie Funny Farm where Mr. & Mrs. Farmer's new dog runs and continues running.
I know this might sound weird, maybe I'm not saying it right., but you all look better, stronger and healthier today. You have definitely made a good choice!
That road was like a roller coaster. Wouldn't even want to try that with my big 4x4 diesel truck.
Wish your description indicated which, if any, of these properties ended up being the one you are now building on.
All the best.
We bought the one with the roller coaster road... We've put a lot of effort into improving the road since that video was done. Some of those early videos where a little rough...
Apparently there are hot springs in the area where they moved to in Idaho, so even the river never freezes over thats near/on the property.
Country are way better than city I grew up on the farm I love it
you look much better now !!!!:-)
UA-cam just recommended your channel to me, first video hooked me,but I am 3 years behind, so I got some catching up to do
Me 2 lol
Preston Idaho. Mostly farms. I drove thru there a couple of years ago, when I drove truck for a company in Logan ( Wellsville) The Cache Valley is one of the most Beautiful places. Very Mormon.
Our closest town has about 20 people, and the town that is on our mail has 370. My daughters class has 30 students, which is the biggest ever. The average is 20. We wouldn't trade it for the world. Almost no crime, no police force, and great kids in the school. I wish you all the success -- you'll make it in the end.
Sounds beautiful...
I love the place you gonna buy. N the mud is not an issue to me. Cuz where I'm from,we deal with mud.
Thank You for Your Video.
Like your comments in this video.
Entertaining. Informative. Believable.
Do It All Your Way... :) That's why I watch your videos.
looking for the state you chose to live in. Tks
there in Idaho :)
Awesome documentary, came back to number 1 video after stumbling across one of your house framing UA-cam videos. So where did you live in North Carolina, just curious. In the large scheme of things coming up on 4 years is not that long. Good luck on future projects they will be endless.
New too your channel. I am also looking to move to Idaho. like your idea of renting first.
You can never go wrong getting to know the community you're going to live by renting...
I just found your channel and starting from the beginning. I too would love to get to at least less population area. Currently living in Mesa Arizona and so glad as so much better than southern California.
I was born and raised in Mesa...
I am off Horne south of Lehi. It was by Providence and love that have mountains to look at, was great driving north to get onto the 202 to go to ASU. Then I drive home through the res and unwind with the beautiful scenery and open space. So totally agree about having a view of the mountains, but if have to move to Texas there be none, but there will be family which is of course more important. Just enjoying the uncertainty and life in general.
I came across one of a best seller novel called “Educated” by Tara Westover - an interesting read thought I share since the narrative is of from Idaho
Hello from 2021
I’m from Arizona on the San Carlos Apache Rez
dur choix à faire, mais quel bon choix pour une meilleure qualité de vie !!
Can or have you elaborated on what or how do you set up your finances to live on residual income. Your family’s story is intriguing and every video is a treat.
Did you ever find out?
So... I guess i have to watch every video and start building my own one
I think I say you are lucky .?. I agree. . My pardon.. sir....my Heart is with your Dream.. I respect. A persone that can have fun and learn from... N z.
What do you have for hunting game around there in those mountains? Anything other than deer?
That rainbow...
What did you do to come up with residual income? I’m not super creative. Work in accounting. Thinking about jumping into real estate as a second income, just so I can speed the process up, with my dream to live like you are now living. Just found your channel. Saw your time lapse to an almost complete house. This is the dream I have for my wife and myself. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Can not wait to keep watching the journey you are sharing.
1/360 completed. It's a long journey ahead..
Desde o início... Ótimo trabalho colocar os vídeos em ordem cronológica.. Já assisti quase todos!
Wow. RIP. Roger..a dogs
A dog's heart is with his master. A dog's sence. Is freedom to roam... R.crwerr..lol.
You honestly make me want to do the same thing. I love the mountains. What are some hazards for domesticated animals?
Idaho looks so beautiful. I'm in that Arkansas place u decided not to come to. Hehe! We r working towards selling our current home and moving to 10 undeveloped acres down the road. we will be living in a rv while we build. My husband works construction so he will build it. We are a year out to selling but getting there.
We have some great friends in north western Arkansas. Beautiful country. I hope we don't have to live in our 5th wheel with our 5 kids but it's up there so who knows. Good luck!
+Red Poppy Ranch I only have one kid and he will be heading to college so I hope it won't be to awful.
Anybody watching during covid19 outbreak and thinking how smart this faimly are

And so it begins...
You sir are the greatest man that ever lived!! U done the impossible making it possible. Making a dream come true.
Exciting. Can you share the price points of the two properties. Are they both 40 acres? How Will you be able to decide between the two?
You need to watch our other videos...
What type of residual income did you pursue?
2nd Watch!..
What is the climate like....??? We lived in Evanston for 8-9 yrs, is it that cold? Great choices so far....
Logan's close.
Not quite that cold but not far off.
Oh, Ruger ❤
If you don't, keep it to yourself 😂
I am gonna build me a cinder block home in k entucky somewhere in the apps. Will have 2 gas generators, collect rain water for drinking and use a creek/lake for showering.
Also gonna grow as much of my own food as possible while still maintaining employment somewhere...
How’s that creek bathing treating you? Lol
New here and decided to watch all your videos released and watch them all... And sorry for the use of profanity but fuckin hell that view of the mountains!!! 😳😳😳😳 mindblowing
we need divine intervention truly

Lifevantage. Message me on FB if you want more info
Is this the protandim deal?
Red Poppy Ranch Im just seeing your message I would love more info
A Dr. Pepper drinker... atta boy!
is that a crack in the windshield?
Just started watching your journey. I’m hooked. Me and my wife are looking to do the same. Can you give details on your ‘residual’ income? I think that’s gonna be a key factor for us.
I think he worked his ass off as a plumber for several years and invested wisely....IDK.
@@snapcrack55 How do you know he was a plumber?
@@utseay past videos
