3 Days On A HomeStead In North Carolina!

Stephen & I spend 3 days at Homesteadasili in Woodleaf, North Carolina. Emanuel, the owner of the property and homesteader teaches us so much about living off the land. We learn about chickens, ducks, sheep and of course the importance of reclaiming and repurposing materials. I learned first hand how much time, patience and love goes into building and running a homestead.

Awesome video, I remember Emanuel from an episode of Homesteading with the Raney's. I am totally into the idea of Homesteading, I know that it is alot of work, but I think the reward is even sweeter.

What a wonderful, peaceful life. As long as I can watch me some Netflix or something at night. So I'm going to need some electricity, solar or something...

[@CityGirlGoneGreen]

You mean on the homestead? I agree I’d like to have access to electricity but only when I wanted it.

Gurl it was pitch black to be honest me and the hubby were lightweight scared after dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. And all those animal sounds lol

[@peachesniece785]

@@CityGirlGoneGreen I figured that. I'll make sure I bring someone with me because I know can't do pitch black alone. Im sure the sky looks beautiful when the stars are out though

[@ade6219]

Emanuel in regard to "POKE Berries" my grand and greatgrand mothers had a secrete about these, in dedication I've composed a booklet of this that I've yet to print for health food stores. Possibly i'll get to discuss this with you live and direct one of these days:)

[@ade6219]

Emanuel hey, and you even mention Germany! We have more in common than I thought, as I was a dependant of military family in Baumholder Germany, and as a youngster learn alot from comrade about farming systems.

[@CityGirlGoneGreen]

Hi 👋🏾 thanks for watching and commenting. I’ll pass this on to Emanuel 😊

[@nebuladus7850]

Hello family🦋love this channel🙏🏾

[@CityGirlGoneGreen]

Hi!!! So glad you enjoy our content

[@zee7130]

Hi I just discovered your channel. I enjoyed watching this video. What motivated you all to live in a van? You obviously save money, but are you an adventure seeker?

[@CityGirlGoneGreen]

Hi 👋🏾. Great question. For me it was about reclaiming my life and breaking away from the self imposed box I’d created for my life. For Stephen it was much more about simply trying something different and supporting me. I’d be one very disenfranchised with my job as a retail manager. And I’d begin to feel trapped and miserable. I began watching some interesting videos about people choosing to live in vehicles and actually being able to create life on their terms. I was inspired and motivated to have the same thing. A sense of freedom

[@CityGirlGoneGreen]

To a certain aspect I was definitely seeking adventure the adventure for me was about experiencing life from a different perspective. And yes vanlife has def been an adventure for us but not in the sense of diving off of cliffs or exploring new animal species and climbing mountains

[@arnedataylor-harper7323]

Hello If you are in Woodleaf, I am in Cleveland just around the corner from you. Hey neighbor
