Priceless. I’m embarking on a 5 acre remote project involving rehabbing a 12x12 log cabin. It would have been so easy 20 years ago, but now at 63 with some health issues it is way more a challenge. Pray for me, lol.

[@deblarsen8528]

🙏🙏❤ Best of Luck to you as you begin your adventure!! Take it slow and easy! 👍

[@cynthiaweston767]

😇🙏 prayers,wishing you good health to enjoy the fruits of your labor. God Bless

Godspeed

Rooting & praying for you !!! My husband and I just bought 11 acres totally off grid with a 366 ft log cabin. Hasn't been taken care of in years we have so much to do......day by day, doing what we can afford and have time for. We hope to retire here in woods ❤

I did the same thing almost 40 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did! Still enjoying it at 68 years old!!

Awesome, I wish I had the discipline 20-30 years ago to do what I’m doing now at 63, restoring a 12x12 log cabin on 5 acres in northern Wisconsin.

[@johnbutler5208]

So did i, log home wood stove, barn, and I'm 68 also.

Love ya'll whole set up. Super impressed with ya'll milling your own wood also. It's beautiful. Where are yall at with all that snow?

[@RobertJLessard]

I'm 50 and building my cabin now. I couldn't imagine waiting another 15 years to be retired. No way I could do the same amount of physical work as now.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Good work Starting Robert.....we feel the Same way

[@alicesmith7020]

Beautiful, just beautiful. But you know what really impressed me? The way Jen looked at Jay. She is absolutely head over heels in love with her guy and that is a beautiful thing to see.

[@donnavickery9623]

Thank you Brooke for giving smaller channels a chance to be recognized!!! Jay and Jen at Off Grid with Jay and Jen are good people !!! Also, I am enjoying watching your son’s videos. He is so young. He is a fine young man!!!

This is an awesome video.

[@lorilake7613]

Local building codes and permit fees can crush a dream. That was my first lesson in home ownership. It's a tough lesson. I ended up selling at a slight loss and moving on.

[@PICARDY610]

FANTASTIC! JAY IS RIGHT, TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE! JUST DO IT!

[@ColinClanahan]

I like when you visit other homesteads. I think it’s a great series on your channel.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks i like it too :)

[@lorigougeon8873]

I’ve been watching Jay and Jen for years! Love them ❤ and especially love that you featured them and all the hard work they have put into their homestead. I love when the You Tube community supports each other by sharing collaborations like this one. Thank you for giving them the spotlight they deserve 😊

[@TaylorZ2]

That is awesome! Cute couple with cute dogs and I LOVE their cabin and simple lifestyle. And you gotta love no mortgage.

[@linak7155]

I've enjoyed watching this couple recount how this all came to be. They are so open about how they watched many videos and started small. Not fancy just practical, cozy and so doable. 'No number two's inside' Great system! ❤🎉

[@donnavickery9623]

Love you Jay and Jen. So happy you are being featured on this channel. You deserve the recognition!!!

[@LindyLooo99]

My dream! Lots of regrets, my first marriage was to a house builder who REFUSED to build me a house... by the time I divorced him with no money it was all out of reach. Today we would love to try this, but I'm 64..... I still do furniture refurb, but no building anything large... praying we can do this some day!

[@rebekahwells3737]

We love Jay and Jen. Been watching them since they started. I love you guys interviewing everyone building their off ride properties.

[@SuePenn]

Jay and Jen have been one of my favorites to follow the last couple of years.

[@tommydorsey5055]

Jen, ya got any sisters? Jay already got the gold mine! Well Done!

[@angelag8196]

We love Jason and Jenny. ❤ And I'd lose my mind if Bush radical and Girl in the woods came to my place. 🥰💚 Love this video.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@danpar1184]

Great video. All too often people are afraid to pursue a dream and spend the rest of their life regretting it. Way to go Jay and Jen.

[@user-ec7xg1qp3k]

I’ve been following the build for a few years, nice cabin on the hill! Thanks for the tour Brooke and Dave (in the background) ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Love your channel. I've watched you and your husband build all your cabins. It's so cool that Jay and Jenn watched your channel and were inspired by you. I watched Jay and Jen build from the ground up. It is also really cool that you interviewed them and toured their property. I know that this is a day that they will treasure always. I am so touched by this. All of you are real. Down to earth people. Bless you for this and also for all that your future brings.

That's how I have done most things in my life. I have taught myself everything I wanted to know how to do.

[@thalleshoward3962]

I subscibe to their channel they have done a great job with their cabin.

[@Satellitegirl41]

Love this. Definitely a dream of mine. Think I'm going to at least buy some land in the Appalachian mountains soon. May be 4 or 5 years before I build, but I'll have land to go camp on if nothing else, in the meantime. I lol'd at the double toilet paper. Beautiful home!! Only thing I wouldn't like is the loft.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

i know that was funny

[@suezaple4950]

Oh my just looked at that view and property the cabin is so epic id not want to leave . love love the interior and the steps to the loft I love the steps that go up like that .love the open concept and high ceiling's , this place is so very well thought out and layed out. love the cute bathroom one dosnt need a big washroom, The bedroom great size, Wonderful work folks , Yes I shall follow you, thanks Brook for taking us to see this cabin.

Great to see all groups of ppl from 3 of the channels I always watch there eh! Thanks for sharing

[@131maymay131]

Aw, love how you showcase others! Great video! Love what they have accomplished and achieved!

[@elJossu]

What a cute couple. Amazing work they did.

[@shelbyindianajones3226]

Everyone should be allowed to do this... it is a crime that in many semi rural counties they have so many rules and codes it almost forces everyone to build or buys something so big it is hard to afford. So glad you uploaded this Brooke, you're the best!

[@lindasands1433]

YAY! More people living off-grid! Thanks Brooke & Dave for the introductions. I'll check out more of their videis now. Great cabin and what a lot of work they've done. Kudos to you all and have a wonderful Christmas From Linda in the mountains in New Zealand ❤❤❤❤

[@laurieeyebee]

LOVE this cabin, an absolute treat, thanks Brooke for the intrro. I can only dream, at the moment. This place is a Laurie place!

[@kykids101]

I subscribed to their KZbin channel. Very inspirational.

[@kathyguenther5866]

Brooke so glad to see you doing these video's of other off-grid families..... Nice to see you and Dave in the same video it is always such a pleasure. Went over to Jay and Jen's site and look forward to seeing some more of there video's. Happy Winter to you and your family. Ask Dave if he would do some video's working with your son. I would like to see more of them being that Dave is such a good teacher.

[@mikeunum]

Very nice i love it. In place of the 12V system i would use it in 24 Volt. More efficient and the batteries are working too.

[@rhondak4940]

Your home is beautiful

[@janisgriffin7278]

My house is 990 square ft. Including the garage. Here in Santa Barbara,California in one of the most expensive housing areas I bought and sold 2 houses since 1976 then bought the house and property from my ex spouse abt. 25 years ago and just paid it off🥰❣️Over the years we have renovated the inside completely plus just installed a gazebo and Pergola & Solar Panels on the outside- have always wanted a cabin in the woods but my little house is perfect in its imperfection.❤So great to see a young couple do this so early in their lives. Am 79 in couple days & so Thankful for my little home🥰❣️

[@Rocky-L81]

I built an off grid cabin. Its no where near as awesome as your accomplishments. I did it with no power tools, no vehicle, no money (zero dollars) and by myself. I had a lot of people ridicule, doubt, steal and try to hinder my hard work but I stayed persistent and worked very hard. I look up to you and others to combine your wisdoms with my own. Thank you for giving me wisdoms that you don't even know you gave. Natural springs and power inverters are a blessing.

[@jakemcclellan8399]

Fantastic job. I am sure they will enjoy their home. Jake McClellan The Oregon Boy 👦

Their place is so cool & beautiful😘

[@joedonnelly9487]

Jay & Jen are very genuine - Brooke, thank you for highlighting them and their journey. The sheer grit to build their own place - and it is a very cozy looking place. My wife and I, have a cabin, I suspect not too far from them in northern Michigan....we're not too far behind them in our "build"....our cabin existed but was not finished out. Right now we're blocked-out due to snow depth, last update I have from Jan 21 is 16 or more inches. Have no place to securely store snowmobiles to do the 4/10's of a mile to get down the two track and up the driveway. Nothing holds Jay & Jen back - they make do with what they have and actually make their off grid setting functional and nice.

[@Sonya60andlearning]

Beautiful place, such great scenery.

[@MrAntoniosavelli]

Everything looks awesome God Bless you both great job.

[@davesigz]

Brooke....excellent video. Subscribed to their channel. Can't wait to watch their videos.

[@yohannusyohannus]

I remember when that was us! Back in the '60's . Talk about the fear of falling in, if you could walk and talk you were out of diapers and off the bottle. And yes it was a lot of work by todays standards cleaning up after animals, milking cows gathering eggs But I never see a well pump at the kitchen sink in any of todays off grids like all of us had. Is it no longer safe to do ? All the best to you Jay and Jen. It's good to know the pioneer spirit is still alive and well! Your going to raise some strong children someday! -Keep us posted!

[@vipingel6999]

Very interesting and informative.. the doggies were having such a great time…😊

[@sgrvtl7183]

I have watched a lot of Jen & Jay youtubes, but I did not know the very beginning with acquiring 15 acres! Awesome deal!

[@backwoodsgirl8519]

Thankyou Jay and Jen. You did a beautiful job on your cabin. Subscribed to your channel and shared video with my husband and 2 sons who have been wanting to build a cabin. Maybe this will get them inspired to get outside and get busy. . Plus we have 2 sawmills.PlusPlus Big thankyou to Girl in the Woods who always inspires!😊

[@coachwendy5618]

Beautiful. Makes me want to live off grid even more. My dream retirement is to buy homes that need to be renovated to sell. When I make enough to build off-grid, that will become my next retirement project.
