Couple Begins to Transform Neglected Property Into Homestead // 3 Month Timelapse

In June of 2023 we sold our house and moved from California to East Tennessee to begin the process of building a homestead and a home from the ground up. We arrived at our property to five foot tall weeds and grasses and a faint outline of what was a small driveway. We began the process of clearing land, getting our RV, unloading our personal belongings and building our homestead and home. Here is the first 3 months progress of the adventure.

Thank you for all the comments regarding the sound. I didn’t notice the sound issues while editing in Premiere Pro but unfortunately at this point I cannot change it. Sorry for the audio issues on this video.

[@katiewilliamson9124]

I enjoyed the video and The audio was fine to me.

[@wumao6797]

Hiya, I have never owned property before am curious after watch. How do you know where your property starts and end? There were no fence or markers in the vid to show where your property is. Thanks

[@willg202]

The audio was fine

[@TriStarHomestead]

@@wumao6797 Our property is fully fenced around the perimeter so that is one way to know and there is also a tree line around the perimeter that kind of boxes it all in.

[@wumao6797]

@@TriStarHomestead Ah I see thanks for the description.

[@jakeMTSU]

wow i was shocked, a zero turn lol.... nice

[@shaynej]

interesting channel, but the music setup is too loud over anything else going on...I am sure it is something that will balance out as you practice editing....editing is the only reason I didn't start my own channel

[@sabrinawanderer7560]

I'm glad the USA is promoting agriculture and permaculture. This is a great influence to be followed by everyone around the world. Watching from the Philippines!

That zero turn earned its keep 10 fold

[@joechristian5237]

I ran across your channel last week and have binged watched all of your videos. I'm a 45 year old African American. I grew up in Chicago, lived in Hawaii, and have now settled down in a small city, two hours south of Chicago. As I age, I'm drawn closer to this kind of living. I started a small lawncare business, which is totally different from my previous professions. I worked for the DOD/Air Force in Hawaii and then a General Manager for a very large student housing company in Champaign IL. I must say, you are truly an inspiration, and my motivation! I wish you and your family nothing but blessings and can't wait to see how it all turns out. One last thing, what is your profession? You have many skills. Super impressive! I assume you're a contractor.

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thank you for the kind words. I was in the commercial construction field for about 8 years but just enjoy working with my hands and have been since I was a teenager.

[@kristinew7913]

What part of Africa did you immigrate from?

[@joechristian5237]

​@TriStarHomestead, you're welcome. I'll be following you guys along your journey.

[@raymann4027]

I have just subscribed and I am really enjoying watching you two. You are a beautiful family and doing what others only dream about. You are both doing a great job. My suggestion to you, as soon as you can, plant all your fruit trees so when your little bub gets to 5 y/o she { I hope I got that right} will be able to enjoy eating the fruit. My son and his wife are doing the same thing as you here in Victoria but a little ahead of you, I can't wait for the next video Cheers Ray Mann Melbourne Australia.

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thank you! We plan to plant the trees in the spring along with some others we just ordered.

[@cherylgaudiomonte3659]

Maybe wear a speaker so we can hear when you talk especially when the music plays. Its hard to hear you. Also as you are new starters less music and more hearing the tools and work.

Yep the music screwed up this video and kept me from subscribing

Great video. You earned a subscriber here. Good luck with your project! Everyone around me thought we were nuts when we bought 25+ overgrown acres but its the best thing we ever did, were now in the process of purchasing another 7.5 acres that adjoins the lower half of our property. We feel a whole lot less reliant on anything or anyone and there is a piece of mind that comes with that, especially these days!

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thanks! Good for you guys! We are already looking at adjoining pieces. You ain’t kidding on the less reliant pet either.

Hey! Just a recommendation- as someone who works in the veterinary field, carrying your pigs like that hurts them and can injure them and pull their legs out of socket…I would recommend finding some videos on pig anatomy that have recommendations on how to carry them. Good luck out there!

Interesting. I’ll have to look into if you have any videos you recommend I would appreciate it.

Hey new to your channel and I'm from North Carolina

How much land do you have? It is impressive how much you have gotten done in these time laps. I have started documenting my land work on 16 acres in Northern MN, but you have 30 years on me.

[@doityourselflivinggardenin7986]

Interesting adventure! Like others said, that music made it impossible to hear you sometimes. One tough zero turn mower! I would have the pond water tested before letting animals drink it. A friend of mine was losing sheep and finally figured out it was the pond water causing it. All the best!

[@merlinjones2660]

Young ones to help you understand mould problems every person exhales approximately 4 to 5 liters,or about 8 pints of water a day ??you have cats =say 1 pint per cat per day so 2 people plus 3 cats = 19 pints of water perday that is being absorbed into your home ??now fit a duel fuel wood burner with an opening ie chimney and a hole same size too the outside place mesh over it =no rodents come in = you now have a balanced flue system where air is moved without any power needed =lower moisture content in your home = less problems for lung infection some are susceptible too.

You probably need an aerator for the pond 💡

[@TriStarHomestead]

It’s on the list! The solar powered ones are not cheap and the ones that are, are just that, cheap. Hopefully in the next couple years we can get that pond thriving.

Everything is looking good and my only question is how are you able to have all those things including the land,, new riding lawn mower, new impliment trailer, nice fancy travel trailer, fancy big pickup, and now getting ready to build a new house, All those things and so young and calling it homesteaders?

[@cletusmoistmuffin]

I would assume they worked hard to achieve their dream. You should check out the Dick Proenneke documentary and you would see the same thing. Homesteading isn't about building something while being broke. I'm impressed that two young people actually worked for something instead of playing video games and living in their childhood basement at 25.

[@BloodofChristMinistries777]

Great video, but very very hard to hear you over the loud music. Maybe lower it to more of a background music, perhaps.... Just a suggestion since I read a few other comments about being able to hear the talking over the music

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

You need to wear speaker when you talk even though you a man can't hear you that good hun enjoyed the video just can't hear Eros always God bless and be safe

[@710Reefer]

Please keep some sort of native grasslands! It's sad seeing such beautiful land get destroyed.

Keeping land maintained is hardly destroying it. If not for me doing what I have done here this place would be covered in invasive trees and there would be no “grasslands.”

Why at the start of the vid, while in the truck, does your dog look scared or sad?. Secondly, wrong mower, i would have used one that would let me bale the hay and sell it, make some money off the cut grass.
