    Doug and Stacy was the first homestead channel I watched. I learned so much from them, even though I’m not a homesteader. When Doug started speaking out against the tyranny gripping my country, I developed a tremendous newfound respect for him. I admire bravery in this age of speech suppression. You are a sweet, lovely lady, and I’m glad that Doug encouraged you. Good work, Tessie.

YOU decided to attack my comment with an ignorant statement.

I see tyrannical moves in most everything the Democrats do. Do not tell me what to say or how to say it, when my original post was not sent to you.

    Tessie, I happened across your channel because I saw "Offgrid with Doug and Stacy" and wanted to see what you would say about them. I've been following them for about 2 or 3 years and really enjoy their channel.
    They obviously have a big following but you said something about yourself that sets you apart from probably 95% of the channels out there, not to mention all the people in general. You said "I'm happy with where I am" (not sure I quoted you correctly). You may not be the channel with the most subscribers but you have something most people never accomplish: contentment! In my eyes, that makes you one of the most successful channels out there; I applaud you! Now, I will be tuning in to your videos. When a UA-cam creator provides content like yours, it's more than entertainment, it's inspiration. I don't aspire to have a YT channel, but I do like to follow successful people, especially when they follow the wisdom in the Bible.
    God bless you and yours.

And it’s nothing personal, Doug and Stacy! I love your videos about your sheep and animals, and when you build stuff. That’s awesome. Your lifestyle is just not practical for me at this moment in my life. Tessie’s is more doable in my circumstances. I know you both love God and try to follow Him, just like Tessie does.

    I've been watching Doug and Stacy for wow almost 7 years now. They were a small UA-cam channel when I 1st started watching them. I absolutely love their videos on homesteading, their animals, and Stacy's canning videos and preparing videos. DOUG and STACY is the reason why my family is moving to Missouri! I'm in the process of fixing our current house, to put it up for sale, 3 bedroom 2 bathroom on one Acer, with a storefront on a little plot down the street that's going with the one Acer lot, we only want 60 for it, we're in the country in VA. But once we sell our little homestead, we're going to move to Missouri to live like Doug and Stacy, completely off grid! Starting in an RV. I can't wait! I love Doug and Stacy for how they impacted my life! They helped me to leave the city in the 1st place 2 years ago! And hopefully soon, they'll help me and encourage me to move to Missouri! Of course I've never met Doug or Stacy, they don't know me, although I like to think I know them, after 7 years of watching them. I still watch Doug and Stacy to this day! I love their channel! They are great people! Honest hardworking, people who walk with truth! They walk with God!

      Sorry, but Doug is not good and honest. He is using the tricks of the lowest of the low to grow his channel, he gets hundreds of thousands in sponsorship and adsense while he does no homesteading. I watched him for a bit and don't see him doing anything in the space, just trying to view and like cranking. His channel is a complete work of fiction.

    I have never heard of or watched Doug and Stacy's channel but will pop over for a quick look now. Tessie you have a heart of gold. To see channels that started with you or after you go past you in subs must get you down a little (It is human nature) but you are happy for them and that just shows us all, the beautiful person you are. I hope that one day you will reach your viewing goals as you do deserve it.

    I love your videos and really love that you will talk about your love of Jesus. As a Christian, I am proud of your witness of Jesus to the whole world. That is what we are called to do in this world. Our light for Jesus should always shine even when others do not like it. We must live our live for Jesus for others to see. Ever knee will bow and every tongue will profess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I just want to say thank you for standing firm on what you believe. God’s Holy Word, the Bible tells us how we are to live here on earth as a Christian and you do that. Thank you . With love from deep southeast Mississippi.❤

    You need to stay true to yourself no matter what and NEVER forget where you came from to keep your feet planted firmly along your journey. Doug was kind enough to respond with encouraging words when many others would have looked down their nose. NEVER forget to give all glory to God for life and all your many blessings. Saying “Never” and meaning it for the important things in life is the right thing to do.
    You are enough Tessie, just remember that and NEVER forget it. We watch your videos because of YOU, and the many aspects of your life we are invited to share. Try not to be distracted by what other channels do to grow. Slow and steady finishes the race. Being content whether one person or a million showed up to watch is a good attitude to have.
    Your channel has grown a lot this past year and it is because of you and all your hard work. I’m so happy for you and all you’ve accomplished.
    Proverbs 16:9

    Nicely said Tessie about the encouragement he gave you so many years ago and how it has helped you over the years. I haven't watched their channel as frequently these past couple years, but I have seen recently that there have been a number of videos he has posted regarding more political and world event topics. These are volatile subjects and I suppose they can be rubbing some people the wrong way, so maybe that's why the channel has become a topic of conversation. As always, I'm glad to see you handle the requests you received from your viewers regarding them with such grace without getting drug into unnecessary controversy. Take Care!!

She wasn't very nice to you back then and that let us know who she really was.

I have been watching both of your channels plus one that seems to be feuding with Doug, for a very long time now. I love you all! I learn so much from you all. Honestly, I have learned the most from Stacy. But, I can say my life is mostly like yours. I think you are growing because you are changing and i have been watching you grow. All these years I have been watching and I rarely comment on any of the channels. I would have unsubscribed, like I had to one of the other channels, because the negativity is just what’s wrong with the world. As my daughter says, “God don’t like ugly”. Stay positive, stay Godly.
