Tour Of Our New OFF GRID Homestead

[@Guildbrookfarm]

For more OFF GRID videos, check out our playlist: goo.gl/BqNFxg More info in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@kirkland5674]

Second one I've seen as well. Can't help thinking this is how every slasher movie begins. JK, hope everything works out, they are living the dream.

[@pono9808]

Gary Davis Same my 2nd video. Amongst the prepper ones. Gotta love these two & thier gusto to move into homesteading. Personally I cannot stand being around too many people they cause problems for you. Being Isolated z more than a dream. One day my own reality...

[@Jan-gv5db]

PS I know I'm in February 2019 I hope that y'all put your house why no trees will fall on you I live in the foothills of the Appalachians! I know how bad the snow and ice can be be safe

[@JannieWood]

This is my third video and I am so impressed and happy for you that you are following your dreams and moving to a place where you won't deal with nosey neighbors complaining about goat noise. I first saw your video on raising baby chickens which was a real eye opener and very informative and interesting and then I felt your pain in the "They're all gone" video. You are amazingly kind toward nosey neighbor! I don't think I could have been. I'm excited to follow your journey and have subscribed. One door closes, but this door is open wide!!

[@fuckoffZZZ]

Never been this happy for complete strangers before.

[@lindakrause8793]

Oh my how blessed you are! It's so wonderful for you to have 20 acres of privacy to do your own thing and I'm very happy for you. Congratulations 4 years late but still great!!!

[@anniemawee]

Looks like a bit of heaven! Can not wait to watch the progress!! Nothing but positive vibes and well wishes coming at you!

[@ed-mo7ov]

The very first video I came across was Jamie talking about having to get rid of the livestock because of the neighborhood you guys lived in. She looked down and discouraged, not just over having to give up the animals but over being in a place where you weren't with like-minded people, who didn't value homesteading. I am so happy to see that you guys made your dream come true. You've got a great property, and judging by the videos you've made over time, have found the happiness you were looking for. Good for you!

[@karenweber8893]

please forgive me for being jealous!!! Now that said, congratulations! may God bless you!

[@julianvega1371]

I think I am going to need more than 30 acres just to get away from people

[@mrmacgregorshomestead233]

Same

[@tiffany8573]

I was so thrilled to see you found your perfect place!

[@Christodophilus]

You two always look so calm, and yet I'm sure, under the surface, you're all doing cartwheels over this new opportunity. I look forward to watching all your developments. Have fun and share plenty of hugs. I need those on my personal adventures. :)

[@smithfamilyexotics1634]

That's completely awesome I'm really happy for you guys I look forward to future videos and the best of luck to you in all your endeavors

[@DirtyLifeLove]

I am coming to live with you! I can stay in the coop, just feed me and during the apocalypse. Will clean up poop and feed animals! PS: got two kids and a wife in tow 😀

[@cherilcooper289]

Yay.. You look happier.. Than when you had to get rid of your animals... I knew you would find something better..

[@SurfviewTV]

Congratulations on pulling the trigger and boldly going where your subscribers would love to be. Well, at least me, for one. Kudos!

[@emmagreen6087]

I'm glad you found a better place for your homestead.

[@youcanstickit]

This looks like heaven to me. Love your videos. Found them because we are starting to have backyard chickens and have found your videos to be full of information. Thanks for doing them.

[@talkinnmedia4535]

I'm learning so much from your very informational videos. Awesome. We have been blessed with 79 acres and We are going to check it out this summer. I'm ready to purchase a Yurt for the property until we can build.

[@loganv0410]

Your comments at about 14:00 are spot on. Often the most important thing to do is "nothing" Well - what many in the world call 'nothing': learning the land. On the wind turbine - get a weather station up on a tower for a year to gather data.

[@testingtesting...123...2]

I just watched the video about your awful neighbour situation...I'm so glad you're all out of there and can restart and enjoy!

[@huckfinn4260]

Awesome! You guys made it! Your new place is beautiful. A heck of a lot of work to do and you'll have so many learning opportunities as you go along. I'm in my third year on my raw land and just started building my permanent house last month. I had the basement contracted and will do everything else myself, including the design. I'm reading books as I go along and figuring it out along the way. I'm going to end up with a much better house than any of the builders in the area would have made, for a fraction of the cost. I have a good bit of experience with off grid solar if you ever have questions and you're having trouble finding answers for. I know I did. I don't know how it will be for you guys, but for me things ended up taking a whole heck of a lot longer than I expected them to. Don't get disappointed if your pace of progress isn't what you hoped it would be. It is a LOT of hard work. Just my 2 cents. I know you guys will be fine and don't really need the advice, but I can imagine you'll be getting tons of it.

[@huckfinn4260]

Like I said I know you guys will be fine without all of our advice, but I just have to throw out one more little tip. If you can swing it get a small farm tractor with a front end loader. You will be amazed at how much help that loader will be in all your projects. The ATV is nice for hauling your butt around if you need that, but a tractor will move TONS of stuff and the loader is like a little crane as well as a material mover. I couldn't imagine being out here without it.

[@anitaauckram3366]

Congratulations for the new property! And thank you for keep your homesteading dream alive so we an all continue watching your new videos!

[@kimnkruzin]

I dream about having an off grid place, where it is beyond quiet., almost deafening, some day I will find my dream. I love your videos. I bought an all american pressure cooker, as now I feel more confident in using one. HUGE THANK YOU!!! best wishes to your new adventures!

[@brandilee520]

Who thumbs downed this video? I think it's awesome that you guys have found your perfect homestead property. Look forward to seeing how it progresses.

[@nikgochkov7583]

There will always be some miserable unhappy looser out there ... Them problem is, that they are in “Thumbs Down” world and will never escape from there 😉👍

[@sophiekat463]

Hi im in Australia and i just wanted to say hello and thanks for your interesting and educational content. Really supportive and inspiring. Cheers

[@hfortenberry]

How exciting!! Congratulations! I know this is 2 years old but oh well. So happy for y'all to have found this beautiful property! Regarding setting up a homestead, once you get the living quarters situated, I strongly urge folks to get the vegetable garden and especially the orchard trees planted FIRST, before you worry about livestock or anything else for animals. Get that food growing immediately. ESPECIALLY get your fruit and nut trees planted. It's so important.

[@cynthiaweathers6979]

For the garden, build a 2x4 cage. They are 8 ft. long and make 8 ft. by 8ft sections. put a door on it and wrap the whole thing with 1 inch chicken wire. Add a door. If you don't, the deer and gtoundhogs will eat everything as soon as it pops from the ground. And the crows will watch you planr rhen dig up the seeds and eat them. We;come to mountain living.

[@svetlanikolova7673]

I KNEW IT! YOU FOUND YOUR PERFECT PLACE! HAPPY BUILDING

[@diyfferent]

So happy for you guys. The land looks so beautiful with all those pine trees. And it's nice to be around like-minded folks now. I have to admit that I was totally not expecting you to buy a property like this and build your own house! It will be a wonderful learning experience for you. People will really love to see how that goes. Take care :)

[@zouhairsuleiman209]

I wish I had some extra money on hand to send ,helping you build your dream home , but I’m living on my disability check right now and all I can do is to ask others who have it to please send you a donation to help build your dream home good luck and god bless

[@armandoa5468]

Now would be a great time for the both of you to get ham radio certified. In the event you need to communicate with others during an emergency. I wish you luck in your endeavors. Regards -Armando KG5TVP

[@andrewcutler222]

I was glad you guys got the new land and away from those crazy people that became your neighbors.

[@inquisitive1911]

Me too. Good on them. They clearly deserved far better than those inadequate neighbours. XXX.

[@vickibaker8372]

My neighbors 2 of them deal drugs and pay off crooked police...we are trying to MOVE FAR AWSY

[@meganhorton901]

Hello from Brittany, France!! So glad you've found your perfect place! Been watching your videos for a while now, keep them coming even if you're busy! We're planting our orchard on Sunday, 25 new fruit trees... hopefully, in a few years, we'll never have to buy fruit again!!

[@nitabaker9851]

megan horton Brittany, hello. Hoping you are all well in France. Haven’t heard anything in the news about France. Take care my friend.

[@shannonsmithjared]

I love how chill both of you are, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Had to subscribe 😉

[@marilynpenrod7414]

Happy for you! You are living my dream. I will be following your videos faithfully!

[@jamesndarlene]

Well Howdy Neighbor! That is beautiful land you bought. Would you guys please do a video on your well pump and pressure tank???? I have been wanting some ideas on how to set up one kinda like that. Thanks,

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Yes

[@jamesndarlene]

Thank you.

[@ImkdSter]

I commented yesterday on the neighbors and your goats, then I sign in to see this. lol! That's amazing! Congratulations on your 20 acres. Super jealous!

[@andywilliams7162]

Good luck on your home..love your VIDEOS.. Thank You.. MERRY CHRISTMAS To YOU.

[@nickm.4143]

I'm glad to see it worked out for you guys! We did the same thing. It's not easy, but nothing worthwhile is.

[@SAHMMNA]

This is a great video!! Your format in answering questions and explaining so much, is just top notch!!!

[@Berkeloid0]

Very interesting watching this again a year later. All that worry about moving away from your "suburban" home, not knowing what the future would bring. From what you've shared with us since, it looks like it has worked out to be a fantastic change, even if a bit too eventful at times! Let's hope the coming year is another good one.

[@carlosbrisolla2674]

Congrats on your new place!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Thank you!!

[@homehandywife]

Awesome property, glad you found your dream !!

[@chazmd38]

im happy for you. you've got a good woman. just keep working.

[@marilynroberts6644]

no more worries of what neighbors might say ..all the animals you want now..congratulations.

[@TheHomesteadingHobbit]

This gave me so many happy feelings!!! I am so excited for you guys and I am looking forward to watching you all grow with your beautiful homestead. Nothing like starting from scratch and creating exactly what YOU want! Congratulations!

[@nikgochkov7583]

I can tell you how happy i am for you guys!!! You proved the “Doors theory” - closing one you open another ones again! The McDonalds and Starbucks craving asshole neighbors actually did you a big favor! I hope they build a huge chain retail store like a Home Depot or Lowe’s on your old property... Then this Neighbour will have his “Piece of mind” he was lacking when you lived there! Wish you all the best and a lot of Dreams come true!!! And let me know if you ever need a Livestock Guardian Dog 😉🙏🏻

[@spooky7158]

Congratulations! I hope you are as happy as i am off-grid. I had a halfway off-grid place for 8 years but I finally went completely off the grid July this year. The first sub arctic winter is closing in and we are doing good. Trying halfway for awhile makes the final jump easy. I cant believe I was a city girl and I'm now really happy dodging wolves and chopping wood . My earth cellar is full , my wood storage is far beyond what I need and I'm just so blessed. I live alone with my two children so don't think that's a problem for you woman out there. Woman can use axes too , it just takes a little longer :-))

[@ssfoste]

wow, been watching lately now reviewing the past, You two really went all in. Whew what a huge step.

[@TheFewellHomestead]

"out here, I can do that whenever I want." HA! I love it!! So happy for you guys

[@kylarichardson4]

Congratulations!!

[@karenbrown3713]

Sorry you have to move its so hard. I use to live in North idaho and I miss it also enjoy your new home God bless

[@amandaytx]

That neighbor did you guys a big favor, nice find on property

[@anthonyjonmorris3763]

i was looking at some canning vids and came across your channel, the 2nd 1 was why you had to move on, i felt for you so much, and had to watch this video. its so obvious how happy you both are now compared to the last video. i am going to subscribe and come along for the journey, i am so happy for you both, best wishes for your future, a very envious viewer from the UK

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Welcome to the circus! 🎪😊

[@swade5113]

I just found your channel. I have to say the second video I watched was the one where you were talking about the mistakes you guys made with the animals. I just wanted to cry. My heart just really broke for y'all. Now seeing you smiling, talking about learning to bow hunt just made me so happy for y'all. I'm a country girl. Born and raised in Tn. Grew up on a farm. My grandma always told me when I grew up I'd miss the farm. Grandma always did speak the truth. I spent the first part of my life trying to get off the farm only to spend a good part of the second half trying to get back on it. I would love nothing better than to homestead. Quilting circles and canning parties are right up my alley. I'm just so happy for y'all. I look forward to watching your beautiful journey.

[@Ashra.Astara]

I'm really happy for you guys.. the place is just beautiful and peaceful! can't wait to see your projects come to life

[@carolwolf4099]

I am so looking forward to your journey; thanks for sharing!

[@normabenavidez2138]

Loving it the opening "Somewhere in Appalachia". Don't put too much of your business out there. Loving your experiences.

[@judyh1296]

That music is right out of the chainsaw massacre!

[@zinnia3684]

I’m so happy for you guys. God will guide you. God bless. I pray you have him in your life.

[@ronhart8857]

Sorry you had to get rid of your animals on your last property. But I think you have found a beautiful property now where you can enjoy off grid living a lot more. I have subscribed to your channel hoping everything will work out for your family, so you can enjoy your off grid living.

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

So great to see you too so happy and excited! Your patience has paid off and now don't lose that skill to patiently plan and time your goals. I know you are so I am excited to be apart of your new life in the wilderness.

[@jasonroberts8206]

Just started following. I'm looking fwd to looking at future videos. About to binge watch all the videos y'all have done after this one.

[@601salsa]

Yeay!!!!!! Cant tell you how happy I am for you to find your new place.

[@carlostomaz7247]

I just came across your channel... I’m so in love with what you do... I wish I was your picky neighbour... I’d love to have your guys as my neighbours... God bless your work and establish your plans for the future... you guys are an inspiration to me... it’s past midnight and I can’t sleep... this this the third video, over two hours already...

[@theIAMofME]

I had to come back and watch this again. I have so enjoyed your channel. But, it's about to get REAL! LOL I'm just so excited for y'all and a bit envious (in a good way). You two are at the perfect age to really make this happen. Speaking of being envious...I guess there are 26 people (at the moment I'm typing this) that are envious in a BAD way. So sad for them. Meanwhile, the rest of us are grinnin and can't wait for the next video!

[@miriamramos5011]

Thanks for sharing this journey. I really enjoy it! I have been considering homestead for all the reasons you guys mentioned and more. Thank you for all your inspiration. Best wishes.

[@jamersenadams5960]

Well, we are ready too. I cannot wait to see your journey and to learn on the way. My family and I will start this same journey come summer. 8 years of planning and I know we have some hard work and errors ahead of us. But we do believe this is the way of life. As long as we have a community of homesteaders wanting to help and share with eachother, we can all accomplish this.

[@robertjones7023]

I love that you are doing this! Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@jayfigg7981]

LOVED this video! I am so glad things are working better for you two! It was breaking my heart when you had that "rough patch" due to ef'ed up neighbors. Just makes my day!

[@mattm5001]

Super nice land you got. Thanks for the video.

[@jamesgoodman6243]

All GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT. I'm super happy with your decisions to move to your new forever HAPPY SPOT. GOD BLESS BE SAFE.

[@phillully4472]

20 acres that's awesome. Congrats and best wishes on your new homestead. Some folks aren't happy like at your old place unless they are making someone else's life miserable by trying to control other's.. I lived by a snooty someone once who tried to control what i did, only to learn the hard way that Karma... can come around and bite ya in the ass like it did to Mr. Grumpy. I finally moved on when i was ready too! thanks for sharing your journey with whats happening in your lives! BEST WISHES.

[@ClaireMurphyMissCleezy]

Within the past week, I have completely fallen in love with your channel, family, and your journey!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Welcome to the circus! 😊

[@eyeswideshut2800]

Claire Murphy good for you, catch the bug and detach from the nonsense of the world.👍

[@junkinjodi8942]

So absolutely proud of you guys. Not many people can say that they are living out their dream. I live on just a little bit of acreage in Indiana, and we have bees, a garden, I barter for other things. You will absolutely love love love bees. I've watched all your canning videos and my husband bless me with the kind of canner that you have. I'm so excited to get started canning this fall with my new canner. Thank you for all your videos and the wonderful information you're putting out there as you walk through this journey with your family. Once again thank you for what you do and what you stand for

[@suemcfarlane4199]

It’s going to be great watching you problem solve as you move along becouse your problems will be real and your solutions even more realistic as you don’t have some magical income to through at problems to fix them and neither do most of us your viewers we have to patch together things to keep the ship running very few can just walk into a store and replace things that break or wearout

[@mullet86]

Scrolling through videos and seeing more and more off grid self sufficiency being built. I hope this path is leading to creating communities once again. Congrats on building your own freedom! Sub'd and will take a look through. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@diannaredding9373]

Beautiful property! I'm so happy for you . I would love to live there

[@ricksadler797]

Awesome 👏 so happy for you will you Can you do all the stuff you wanted to do in the old place😎😎

[@jennyhackenberg3790]

I am so glad you guys finally found your land. I will enjoy watching you guys develop your homestead and thank you for bringing us along.

[@tomt9260]

Stumbled upon your channel and love it! I’m currently looking at a move to western N.C. in the next year to year and a half. The first vid was the heartbreak of why you were leaving your last place and it really was helpful. Thanks for your knowledge and I’m looking forward to see what’s next for you!!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Welcome to the circus!

[@marybethhibbert8007]

Your life has just really begun.....you're young, energized and ready to go. I wish you all the peace and joy this place will bring. When one door is closed.....our creator opens a window. God Bless !!!

[@robertfairburn9979]

How do homesteaders afford health insurance

[@fivecrosses9040]

clive hudson jobs

[@cindyrobertson3798]

And dental? I wonder if he has a job?

[@perpetuallearner5416]

Funny how our disappointments become our greatest source of gratitude. Had you not lost the "thousands" of other opportunities you never would have found this. So happy for you guys.

[@avelsgard78]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you! Much work...yes.....but working toward your dreams! Blessings to you!!!

[@kimbermoss]

I’m so excited for you! I can’t wait to come along on your journey! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

[@corineusa1454]

The biggest obstacle is going to be the house from start to finish. No neighbors to aggravate you though. Good luck & God Bless.

[@josephatterberry5118]

I haven't seen your video's in a while.....there are no words to express how happy I am for you to find acreage and the sale of the headache neighborhood you had....PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get the patent on the land in your name!!!!!!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

We are going to look into it to see if it is right for us

[@YooperCountry]

This is great. You are making us excited to get our own property. We managed to sell our place in Vegas right before all of the crap hit the fan. We will just be waiting til things settle before we purchase. Excited to watch more of your videos and see the transformation.

[@dianehall5345]

Well done! You have finally landed where you are going to fit right into the homesteading community.You both have more than I ever did in the 70's, in order to successfully launch your lifestyle. I'm happy that you kept moving forward with your dreams >> let the adventure begin! Now you can have your goats and crab apple jelly with honey :-) All the best...We just celebrated our one year anniversary in the woodland home we built.

[@601salsa]

I would advise you clear a fire break of at least the length of the tallest tree from the house just in case of wildfire.

[@nitabaker9851]

Absolutely, excellent advice👏👏

[@cindyrobertson3798]

Trees whacking the house in storms is bad too. I wonder if they're harsh in the Apps mts.

[@wagz2003]

Happy to see you guys moving onward and upward! My friends actually did this exact same thing at about the same time as you! They moved from the Buckhead area of Atlanta over to an 88 acre lot of land with no buildings, in Oxford GA. They've added a well, solar, and use a composting toilet system for sewer. They have done such a wonderful job with their property, and have worked their tails off to get there. Hurricane Michael just went through their area, knocked down a tree, which landed on the heating element for their chicks and adolescent ayam cemani chickens and lost 50 of them due to the fire it caused. I'm hatching some of their new eggs for them to help boost their flock back up now.

[@jamiebarnes3531]

I started watching your videos not long ago. I just stumbled on the one explaining how you had chose to move. It made me so sad for you. I am so happy you found another property! Seems just perfect. Congratulations!! My wife and I would love to be able to live this way one day :) I enjoy your videos very much! New sub :)

[@blueskyeranch6495]

Congrats! Wow! Gorgeous That’s my dream, Appalachian mountains. I’ll be flying into Knoxville in a few hours, I’ll see if I can find you you from the sky lol

[@glenncountry]

Well i finaly caught up to you. NICE! Can u build a cabin for an old farmer LOL. Too bad im way in Wisconsin. ;) Im glad u did find the right place for yourselves. Now i need to slowly catch up on all your videos.

[@mullet86]

Need to find more Wisconsinites and build! ;)

[@Weedemandreap]

So excited for you guys!!!!

[@kathleenroman9379]

I know you said you’re not much on dogs, but with livestock you really should have a good guard dog.

[@ylvataylor3788]

I hope you have a dog as a sort of alarm system and of course, the companionship and love and laughs they bring. Cats will help with the mousing that you're going have.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

I am behind and catching up I see you moved ! If we push - God - the universe - forces that be - whatever you want to call it - “ will move the rock “

[@CityPrepping]

Amazing! I must have missed it but how many acres did you say you have on the property?

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Over 20

[@CityPrepping]

Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living excellent!

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hi ya Jaime/Jeremy! Oh yea, I love all of that traffic noise, I’m sooo jealous. I’m happy for u guys, nothing beets living off grid. I found a place n Missouri, no building codes, but the con’s I’m hearing is that it’s hard to get anyone to come out for anything, like did a well, and so on. There’s no power/water n the area I’m looking at, hope I find something with a spring. It sounds like heaven to just to get away from the control. I’d prefer to live out ur way, absolutely gorgeous “ I hiked on the Appalachian trail” but I don’t want to get too far from my son. Ya’ll chose a BEAUTIFUL place to call home! Thank u

[@oldtimeengineer26]

I am really happy for you all. The place looks great but one note a wind turbine is best with about 12 mph go hydro if you can it runs 24/7
