Health Benefits of Going OFF-GRID with Doug & Stacy

[@crwood439]

You two are the picture of health and natural beauty!

[@melissaskaggs7229]

Seeing the two of you enjoy yourselves in conversation was a wonderful way to start my day. I was sad to see multiple comments from people who couldn’t seem to get past judging you on your drink choices. I don’t know how you deal with the public judgment that must be constant considering how often you both post videos. I grew up with two major principles that address this: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” and “Let he who is without sin throw the first stone”. It makes me sad to think they may diminish your joy in sharing with all of us, but I guess I am even more sad that they seem to be unable to see past their own judgments in order to experience the joy you are attempting to share with them. I can only imagine how this mindset must effect their entire life and relationships with others. I truly hope you ladies are able to skip the negative comments and know that many of us appreciate you both just the way you are, and we truly enjoy your videos!

[@dreyno64]

Agree100%!!!

[@bumbygrl]

Absolutely....I have gained so much knowledge and turn to them both for quality food and drink recipes, and fermentation!! I'm grateful they share their experiences and knowledge!!!

[@irenerawson853]

Who knows what's actually in the cups. And having a tasty cup of coffee or tea isn't going to take a person to their grave but a constant negative attitude might speed it up. Be happy for them!!

I’ve been a Starbucks fan and customer since they were a little company in Seattle!!! Great choice ladies!!

[@bubbaredneck75]

Its crazy what has to b done when u go from city to offgrid 60 miles from a town w home depot/lowes. Everything revolves around time mgmt and doing several things at once. W gas so high now if you go to town u need to say get water,food,meds,animal stuff and building materials all in 1 trip.

[@franbdaughteroftheking]

How have you all been able to combat the extra environmental adversities they are dropping down on us from the chem trails? Not only on our food sources but our water and the air we breathe? I think I found my answer. I just watched the fermented honey and garlic video on Doug and Stacy's channel. Looks like we'll be using up our garden garlic to make a jar.

I know you and Doug use a compost toilet , but where to you dispose the waste ? I've heard the government doesn't allow you to dump it on your property so where do you get rid of it?

[@rebeccalankford8573]

How much off grid are they actually? To post KZbin videos electrical equipment is needed. It takes power from some type of source. What is the value in exchange? Electricity Generators, propane Solar and solar equipment The labor involved in maintaining and running. This is where the true information is. Cost effectiveness and value in exchange. Cost to feed, maintain and vet laying chickens vs buying eggs at the store. To include labor and time. How is the over all cost effectiveness? This is NOT being discussed in the promotion of others to take on this life style. Let's also take on the topic of labor. Child labor Hired labor Because no one or two people can do it all. What is the cost of that to maintain the livestock, garden, home and children? There are only so many hours in a day. What is the total cost effectiveness and value in exchange? Now let's talk health and aging. The ability. Who is going to maintain all this as one ages and or becomes injured? What is the cost effectiveness and value in exchange to maintain then? What is the over all cost effectiveness and value in exchange vs a regular paying job, above minimum wage that is, ? What about health and life insurance cost? How much is that being independently employed? Large family or not. I again ask for cost effectiveness. Value in exchange. KZbin stars.... Like any other usually have a 10 year run at best most often. Few are lucky after that. What is the cost effectiveness and value in exchange for the time to video, edit and upload on multiple media outlets? The cost for newsletters and books? Have you heard of Market saturation? The same content being overly sold? Let's face it most things are redundant from season to season. How many how to books are needed when one can gain most information on line for free or contact their county extention office or the FDA for guidance?

[@Maranatha_Homestead]

So if the freshly collected eggs are poopy will rinsing the poop off the egg mean it can't sit on the counter?

[@Davidschepers911]

Yes scrub off

[@arleneoliver9261]

@@Davidschepers911 So yes you scrub off the poop. Does the egg then become an egg for the counter or refrigerator. When I was my eggs I then refrigerate them. But if I wipe the poop off and not scrub it as I usually do, does the egg loose its bloom?

[@thesmiths629]

While out hiking in a texas state park recently (enchanted rock) my daughter and I were overheated, and our feet were sore. So we took off our socks and boots to soak our feet in a little stream for a while. She was amazed that it not only cooled her but made her feel more hydrated than drinking from the water bottle.

[@jessikruger3219]

Love the focus on being barefoot! We hardly have shoes on our kids when they don’t need them. Just moved up into the mountains and finally dont have to worry about goat head weeds and it’s so nice. My kids feet are wide, they have great confidence in their own balance from early on and their immune systems are 👍🏻 Love you guys!

Stacey also has those nifty egg laying nest boxes where the egg rolls down into a tray, away from dirty chickens, same as Justin Rhodes. What a great combination you 2 are and what a lovely chat as Stacey is a fount of good healthy living information

[@FineFeatheredHomestead]

OK, I must thank you for the easygoing mindset of just re-seeding if the first seeds fail earlier! Even though I know it, it still feels like some monumental failure and causes a plague of doubts on ability to succeed. This is the 2nd round, but temps and humidity suddenly rose earlier due to a lingering storm system. So now if this batch fails, I'll just shrug it off and try again. No more personalizing seeds and harvests; evaluation is fine, but no blame. And I'm done feeling inferior for using some plant plugs from local farms; they have the infrastructure specialization, and manpower. Of course theirs will grow faster...they don't show what fails!
