I love your last few lines, "For some people this might look like living in the past. But as we start to rediscover the importance of Nature and our place in it...to me, I think this looks a lot like our future." Amen brother. Amen.
Thank-you Carole! ❤️
Absolutely fundamental statement. I too liked it . Agree 100%👍
Would love to do this. Isn't this the way we were intended to live?
Carole Warner I would bet my ass that they would run to the first hospital if they got seriously sick, or to the first airport if they would need to flee their place.
Adriaan Bester not necessarily, no. It's a way to live for sure, but it's hard to say "you're meant to live xy way". You could use the same argument to say humans are intended to make their life's as easy and safe as possible
The rat wheel has been disassembled. Imagine a society where most of us live like this. The one thing I noticed about every single person living in a tiny house, is how genuinely happy they sounded.
It is possible to live like this but we're just not educated about it unfortunately
@@sunettecarroll9191 we educated ourselves
It was called the 1800s
At least for the first years...
NO TV !! 🥰
Up with the sun, down with the moon, beautiful.
I was thinking about that too, how beautiful isn't it 😇
There’s some solid science behind that too. Haven’t a consistent bedtime/morning time has been shown to be very beneficial for the quality of sleep you get.
That was how we were created to be in sync with nature
My life in a nutshell.....as far as sleeping goes only....need to incorporate the remainder.
ÀAALLL. MN .
No WiFi, no rent, no fuel...
No BILLS.
What a life!
@Elaine Simons. I've been to that area there's Walmart it always has wifi you can sit in the parking lot & use it there's also wifi cafes if you go into the city & buy a cup of coffee or tea
What about taxes?
I think i can live like that
As long as i have my love one beside me
They have a UA-cam channel "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy" they use a generator for some power needs.
@@urszulawojcik4347 their taxes are very low, about $400/yr. They can easily sell some livestock to pay that off. That's what we do on our farm (Texas). Property taxes are usually much lower out of city limits, of course depending on property size, home size, and any exemptions like agricultural or homestead.
"I don't even know who Bill is."
That's the point. Greatest line I've taken away from this show yet!
Chelsey Hamill yes lol. That was epic! Love it. ♥️🙌🏾
That must mean no home insurance either. I'd for sure be insuring my everything!
They got property taxes...
I lived off the grid as a kid with my parents, we had a chemical toilet brought in our water had gas lighting and a wood stove. I loved it and I can't wait for the time when I'll be able to return to that life again. It's funny how it is now called being off the grid... when I was young it was called being dirt poor, LoL.
But you didn't feel poor as a kid, did you? That sounds like a very cool life growing up. It gives you a perspective a lot of us don't have.
I grew up dirt poor and my family loved every single minute of it...
Lol
My mother always said "we didn't know we were poor"
@@reginarobertkrystyn - and even if she knew she probably wouldn't care....
I have seen "many" tiny homes, but this one is something that actually caught my eye if I were to go tiny! I love the different structures...garden, beehives, chickens, etc...natures! Love it!
Thanks Tonya, thats my sisters name =)
I sort of agree. I don't want to go tiny, but this minimalist and individualist style really appeals to me.
Not only did they go off the grid, they basically went Amish. I like how the Amish were teasing them saying they wouldn't last. LOL
nah, they went more Admish than the Amish lmao
reckon they can teach the Amish!
The guy def looks Amish
Man, there's some haters in this comment section!! This couple is obviously happy and helping the planet and not hurting anyone, so why we gotta throw stones?
The people throwing stones at these folks are living in very fragile glass houses . . . literally. There is much to be admired in these two, and the lives they are loving!
Ellie Heard WELL,...because.... So many are of Cain
Ellie Heard because some people are sadly jealous of anyone who enjoys their life.
Because it questions their comfort of Urban life. It sucks.
@Nosferatu Zodd That may be a valid reason for hating but I doubt most of the haters on this comment feed are looking into it as deeply as you are
I watch Doug and Stacy all the time. I wish I could live like that. I have a house in town and I have been prepping. I make my own soap and cleaning supplies, I bought a Sun Oven and use it some. I have got stockes up on food. The freeze dried food. Now if I could get rid of my electric bill or reduce it some I would be good. I am debt free. I was 76 years old when I retired last year. I saved up enough money to keep me going. Hope everone has a good week.
❤👍
Keep on going...I’ll be next...
@Retired and Prepping - Good for you, young lady! I love the fact that you are not complacent, and that's inspiring.
Wow, congratulations ma'am!!
Encouraging, thank you for sharing!💜
We have been living this way for 18 years! I have raised and still raising children this way. It has always been how I wanted to live and to be able to take care of ourselves
Don't force your children to live a way just cz they don't have a say.
Estella Eggleston you are winning! ♥️🎉♥️🎉♥️🎉♥️
Avi bratz thats all parents. Kids grow up in their lifestyle.
Nobody takes care of themselves. Yehweh provides for us all🙏🏽
Where are you getting your electricity and internet connection?
In my opinion this couple has made everything right, they're so happy and humurous and this way of living really satisfies them. Who wants more from living?
Hello Petra how are you doing!!
As hubby just stated:
Just because you cant read or write does not mean you are not an awesome craftsman!!!
C N9 ...i love his quote ! Amazing quote !
College students nowadays struggle with an 8th grade exam from 100 years ago. For whatever reason, many think we're better than those who came before us.
Personally, I think he flunked history in school. MANY people who went westward could read and write. They were journalists, teachers, writers and artists, not the illiterate masses he refers to several times. He and the wife walk the walk, but I think they both still have a lot to learn. So far, he appears to have contracted out EVERYthing, including the furniture. but he goes around giving lectures on his lifestyle?

"I don't even know who Bill is"
Greatest self sufficient line ever.
thanks!
Love seeing the dedication to truly living off grid. I love all the wood, the simplicity, the disconnect from the world we live in that is just getting crazier by the moment. Bravo!
This is so far my favourite house, I've seen on this channel and what a lovely couple.
thanks!
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY Yes beautiful lifestyle and beautiful people, especially Stacy! Sorry Doug it's the dirty old man in me! lol!
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY Wait a minute, no electricity or computers , how did you reply the comment!!!
They have a channel on UA-cam. Off grid with doug and stacy.
You're back in the US! I love Doug and Stacy!!! Keep these homesteading videos coming!
We are indeed! Glad you like the homestead content. :)
Anyone else spot the sign for the fresh eggs? ‘Farm fresh butt nuggets’ love it!!
I love Doug and Stacy! Awesome people. Thank you for sharing your home with us and your lifestyle with us.
I'm a city girl and all my life I wanted to move off grid, country living. Though I am not off grid, I'm in the country and my, I love it.... just being involved with nature is amazing...
🙏😉
@Rick Hostetler That's a good question lol!
@Rick Hostetler charge stuff in the truck and small gene and smartphone ✔
they have videos showing and talking how they do videos and you tube and internet check them out there awesome folks
You're pretty, I hope your husband/boyfriend appreciate you :)
This is heaven !
From 42nd floor ~ concrete jungle in India.
what!!!???? dont you think this house is normal size of apartment in India??? i m from India too
Me too I hate it here in delhi
I'm from Northeast India and I hate living in the midst of concrete jungle.
Fortunately I have land in my native village, and I'm fully preparing to become a farmer soon. Don't care what people may say, gotta fight for my own freedom.
He's talking about the "In Living Color" skits about the Jamaican guy with lots of jobs - lol.
yep
Amazing! Loved this and especially the fact they gave been living in this for a number of years
Yes! This was a real plus. When someone has only lived in a tiny home for a few months, everything is all tidy, but not all is worked out. Seven years is pretty much fully worked out!
Hello Aimee how are you doing!!
This couple are super brave leaving behind all the trappings of the modern world like this. Could you live without electricity and a refrigerator?
I could. But I wouldn't want to. Would love to downsize to the country tho.
I need my internet mate
They have accomplished something amazing but my kind of off-grid will always include solar panels!
@@sawyerhaffner4506 stay tuned 😉
That’s a tough question to answer! I’d like to think I could, but after a week of camping and ‘roughing it’ I’m always ready to go home. I like indoor plumbing too much haha😅
They are the genuine articles. They seem down to earth and thoughtful as demonstrated by their home, outbuildings,animals and gardens. While I've chosen a different life style, I appreciate their decision to live as they do since they seem very happy. Completely independent and debt free! Nice goin!
I believe that people are searching for the type of life we were meant to live. You feel more fulfilled when you can see the profits of your efforts.
It’s a healthier way of life because you eat better, work harder, and appreciate more the little things in life. 💕🥰
It amazes me how many of my friends with high degrees fail to see you can be happy, wealthy, and wise with this way of living. It’s my dream. What in the world is there in life to truly keep you up after sun down if you live a well worked day? The plant is literally telling you what to do.
Listen to it.
Wow, first I have to say Doug & Stacy are an amazing couple. They have dedicated themselves to a way of life and they are sticking to it ! Their home is lovely.....I can't think of a nicer home to spend time in. Their farm is amazing as well. I like how they put the different outbuildings and areas close to their home, because they are looking to the future when it will be harder for them to get around. I believe, Doug & Stacy have a lot to teach us about how to move into the future. As for me, I think I would have to have some solar panels so that I would be able to stay up to date with family & friends, On the news, a way of calling out for help if need be. As always, another wonderful video ! I thank you for all the work you put into your videos. I hope you get a million subscribers soon ! If people haven't watched one of your videos Bryce, they don't know what they are missing !!! Hugs & Prayers for you and your partner.....
That was very kind Maggie!! ❤
This is like confirmation for a couple of things, I have been thinking and planning (with saving money and cutting my budget a lot to save), to look for land, maybe not (10) acres , I was thinking more of (2 - 3). Thank you for sharing this, it is an encouragement. The very best to Doug and Stacy, I grew up in the country in MD with a wood stove, and even all these years later I miss the smell and the special warmth that only a wood stove can give. I pray for safety in your travels, over your home and animals, and continued good health. You are an encouragement.
Thanks!
This looks and feels good. It really feels great to see someone/people reconnects to nature again. ❤️
Yay, I absolutely LOVE watching Doug and Stacy on their channel!! So happy to see you paid them a visit!
I think tbis is the best video on homesteading and tiny homes I have seen yet. I love it and I hope and pray I can mimic what you have done here! Thank you so much for this video!!
Such a beautiful homestead. I would love to live in mother nature an out of the rat race. I know it's not easy jumping backwards like that but if your ever lucky enough to figure it out like this couple has then your truelly blessed like they are.
Hello Deana how are you doing!!
I like that he understands no one can be 100% self sufficient. That’s important.
This is a wake up call for the world to slow down and reconnect with the earth and our environment. I love the perma culture life and hope to build a tiny home when I retire!!!
Bryce, you are a boon to this world! Your videos are really good and I love them a lot! 💜💚💙💛
Of course, it helps that they started off very, very well off. So any problems or issues they had/will have can be covered by what I can only assume is at least a decent investment. As they get more experienced and settled in, their labor hours and overall cost is only going to go down more.
Pretty damn smart couple.
This lifestyle with no electricity is not for everyone. But they look genuinely happy and content. So cheers to this couple.
“We don’t have a mailbox.” That blew my mind. 😮
lol =)
This sweet couple have one of the best homesteading channels. They are modest but they are both great teachers and share so much knowledge! She is such a skilled cook, so healthy and knows a great deal about food preservation and herbs. He can do anything! Glad to see this interview!!
Jane Eyre how can they run a channel without electricity?
They really are amazing! 😊
@@geraldineconway1865 lol
Absolutely beautiful, my idea of paradise. That is the kind of life I have always dreamed of having, simple, healthy, stress free. Self sustaining and minimal impact on the environment. I would probably have some solar power though so I could have fans and air conditioner, and gravity fed water can be a bit tricky with no pressure so a pump would be good. I love the wood stove, they are wonderful for baking but not real practical in the summer. I guess it’s easy to cook outdoors in the warmer months and fresh salad is delicious when you pick the vegetables and then wash it and eat it straight from the garden.
And we use a All American Sun Oven mostly in summer and the propane in the outdoor kitchen we have videos covering this stuff.. thanks for checking out our place and see you around. 👍
Doug and Stacy absolutely love your setup sounds like you have it all sorted! Will be definately following you two now love your thinking and lifestyle! We live in New Zealand which is beautiful but super expensive sadly....bottom of the world!
Love your videos and want to thank Stacy for the Epsom salt info. Cured the itches and in a warm bath ...just feels wonderful! ,
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY

I have watched your channel for awhile and love all the nuggets you both give. This was a nice video and thank you for sharing
Wow is all I can say Bryce, this couple is incredible. We all need to take a hard look at the way we live. Downsizing and simplifying seems to be the way to go. Thanks Bryce, amazing video and I really enjoyed watching it.
When you grow old and reach retirement this is the kind of life you would be looking forward.
It was awesome to see Doug and Stacy through your eyes Bryce. Wonderful episode! 😍💖
Amen! It’s beauty in the making, God Bless the couple my they have long life.🌹❤️
Thank you!
You guys rock we should all be living like this... Thank you and live a long happy life.
They do have at least one bill: The municipal taxe. Lovely house!
Depends where it is. Since they have no public utilities at all and if they are in an unincorporated area, it's possible they don't.
I love their reasons for leaving their former way of life. Being anti-consumerism and pro-nature. :D
Not even having any bills. That's truly self-sufficient right there. Not relying on *nobody!* Great video, could watch a whole hour on these people's way of life. Very inspiring.
Thanks!
Exactly! Unfortunately, corrupt government and corporations wants us to be depended on them. Watch what they have been doing at certain areas ....
Haha... I love Bryce and watch Off Grid with Doug and Stacy. It’s great to see you together. And Bryce, it was fun to see you talking about your life and your passion abt TH/Homesteaders/Vandwellers rather than being the interviewer (which you rock at) in the prior sit down chat you had on D&S’s channel. Thnx for another great interview. I could smell the wood and cedar thru the screen. 😊💜
What a fantastic episode, Bryce! Thank You Doug and Stacy for sharing your beautiful home and tranquil way of life, with the world! 🥕🥔🍅🐓
Wow, that's real living...its also my dream life & to be free from being enslaves in a rat race. You're both an inspiration for me, God Bless you.
Doug, get a straight razor... that will last you the rest of your life.. and cool stuff you guys do! :-) love it!
Shame he will never see this comment 😂
This is exactly my goal. Everything we need to survive, God gave it to us for free! Water, air, sunlight, even food is cheaper to grow (and healthier if you have Non-GMO seeds). I have the land....just looking for a design to fit my personality and needs.
Michelle's Weight Loss Journey Amen sister
Me too, thats is what i want
Girl me too. I’m from NYC and I’m tired of the fast pace, long commute, hectic life. Just fresh food, fresh air, fresh water. This is paradise to me.
You go girl
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love watching Doug and Stacy.....their UA-cam channel is awesome. You can learn a lot from them. 🤨❤
Did not mean for the face to be there. Lol. Just the heart.
gosh its so sweet to see this after watching them for years grow💚
Stacy is beautiful inside and out and sweetest hubby ever
Hi Bryce - you continually amaze me. EACH video you do is better than the one before (and believe me, I absolutely love ALL your videos). I can relate to Doug and Stacy so well in that I grew up near the Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and the similarities are amazing. The lifestyle is not for everyone but there is no denying it is exactly what these two soul mates needed. They've actually achieved their very own nirvana. Congratulations Bryce - another stellar job. Take care my friend. ;)
Thanks Charles!
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY Hello and you’re more than welcome! I wish you two the very best and may you LIVE long, happy and healthy lives on your beautiful homestead. 👍
True.Never fail to deliver.
I'm so enchanted by Doug and Stacy they have a great way of sharing their knowledge and I'm so exited by their excitement. I hope one day I can live similarly
Two wonderful people who understood the true values of life. Yes, this IS the future!!
I love Stacy and Doug’s shows so now seeing their home and history is indeed a treat. Beautiful people who make everything look so easy! I continue to be amazed by what they do. It’s lovely to see your whole home. Thank you for inviting us in to your home and your life.
.awwww..a life worth living. Thank you.👏👏
So so beautiful! Perfect dream , and you made it REAL! God Bless you !
As soon as I saw the cabin on the video intro I knew it was Dugg & Stacy 😊
This couple is amazing...you can just feel the love they have for one another. What a fantastic place to live and raise your own food. It's just beautiful and they have done a truly gorgeous way of living. Bravo to you two!! Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog in S. California. 😀🌅🏡
one of my favorite visits of yours. Really like what they did, do and are!
I love this idea, I would love to live like this, unfortunately my window has passed and my struggle against poverty doesn't allow me the financial requirements to even get started.. maybe in the next life. Thanks for showing this, I love your channel.
What I noticed about people living simply is that they have genuine auras and they look healthier and have this certain glow as if they are stress-free. They are living their best lives!
Thanks for your vision and inspiration. We're working our way towards this lifestyle. Choose to change and possibilites choose you! Blessings!
This is soo cool. I love these tw0, Stacy and Doug! I watch their vlogs and they have pretty good ideas. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! This is like behind the scenes from their channel, and you made it epic! Excellent job!
Bryce, just found this gem! I've been watching Doug & Stacy channel for while and they have got it allllll figured out. Such a wonderful tour of their land. Thank you for this tour.
Watched alot of tiny house videos and by far this is one of my favourite. Everything is so natural. Remind me of the era i wish i was born in. I am a melenial. If lumber was as cheap in my country 🇯🇲 jamaica. Id definately do this
I love them,they are so lucky living with nature,the most Wonderful house ever with brilliant guys with a brilliant host.💃Love u from🇮🇳
first impression: wow! - im totaly impressed and this is goals! i love the self labor of everything, this is fantastic , the outside kitchen , the ability to collect rain water, garden its amazing.
in Russia we call it "Dacha", about 2/3 of us have a house like this one as a second\vacation home. Retired people may spend up to 5 months a year living like that.
@None about 60%, and many of them have more than 1 second house
In America n West they do chest thumping about such small things.. They think they are doing a favor to humanity by living organic.. As if we all care..
PS : they pushed earth to its limits by ideas like consumerism industrialisation development etc now suddenly they turned environmentalists.. Now they want ppl living in third world countries who just show electricity in 21 century.. Suddenly give up everything and compensate for West's wrong doings..
@megaotstoy
what does Udacha mean then?
@lohit raj
ooooo YES! preach it! i mean i am not trying to hate to much, but as they said they ran the rat race, saved their money and got out....it's as if they discovered something new and they want pat on the back, forgetting that it took an immense amount of money to get started. they are basically country hipsters. what a hybrid.
i could go on forever.
lohit raj they don’t want anything from anyone. They want to break away from the rat race that we live in and most people still love. Don’t talk shit about the west. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
I love that couple.. So simple, cheerful and friendly
As-salamu alaykum
I want to live like this. Good Couple who are doing the RIGHT thing.
Everyone that will go subscribe to Doug & Stacy they are wonderful people and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for interviewing these wonderful people you did a great job.
🙏☺
Wow I absolutely love what they've created and how they live💖 Fantastic episode, what great people and a wonderful couple!
Hello Donna how are you doing!!
Who else went to subscribe to their channel??!! Very cool indeed 👏🏽❤️
thanks for that!
How can they have a channel if there is no electricity?
I love the warm, rich colors of the wood grains. It's so cozy inside. I admire this couple for growing thier own vegetables and living a simple, healthy life off the land. I love the horses too. Beautiful 👍👍👍
I love this couple. Been subscribed to them for awhile now.

If we could all go back to the old ways, think about how much healthier we would be, and how much better our planet would be.
God bless ❤ 🙏 ❤
To awake and sleep by nature's time clock! That's something I'd love to experience.
