About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

WUT!! I'm elated!!! What an honor!!! ❤Thank you very much❤

[@wilkiepup1]

Excellent explanation. You do such a great job. Some vloggers gripe about all the work they do to get a video out once every week. You just keep going with no complaints. We appreciate your work on these.

[@TheWonderwy]

I love your style of teaching Doug. You and Stacy are great instructors. I know. I know. I have said it before. But it is truely the way I feel! Thank you.

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

Thanks for teaching us a fast and easy way to install our chicken wire and other types of fence. My husband would like to know those what you eat or drink to make you go so fast LOL He loved the fast forward parts and laughed hard ( which is a sound I don't hear often anymore with his PTSD so THANK YOU for making him laugh)

[@terrywalters7775]

It must be the kombucha.

[@Leglag724]

I get so inspired by all both of you do. Trying to get hubby and I healthy with all the good food tips so that we can do more.

[@lisabooker6405]

Loved this video! I love your step by step DIY's!! As someone with less physical abilities than others I don't use it as an excuse. I still want to get out and get done whatever I can. It takes me longer of course but so what...it gets done. Even I could do this. Thanks so very much. You two are making a HUGE difference in my life. My knee is coming along well too btw. Therapy everyday and I'm already putting full weight on it, back working a little in my garden and going for short walks! I REFUSE to go down and your inspiration has been a wonderful and most appreciated influence. Thank you dearly!!! Love, hugs and Gods Blessings Always, Lisa 💕💕💕💕💕

[@chillipeppers8194]

Thankyou Doug, My Husband & I are about to re wire our old fences with chicken & 2 strand of barb . Your video is what we were after seeing how to do it step by step from a homesteader & love the home made fence strainer (stretcher). Big G'Day from a Aussie Hubby & Wife DOWN UNDER.

[@luannawagoner3029]

Doug is really good at explaining what he's doing as he works, really helpful!

[@sjr7822]

"liked' I love the come-a-long winch, I removed cement posts from under the shed with just the come-a-long and a near by tree. I a 5" female nearing 80. KUDOS to whoever invented . KUDOS to Doug that makes directions easy to follow in short order.

[@elbertajohnson937]

Thank you so much. I am a recent widow so am doing all this by myself. My hubby could do all and invent all. Now my turn wish I was 30 yrs younger 🙂. Thanks again

[@Taoss123KeyholeJourney]

That's exactly what I wanted to see. Great how-to instructions, easy to follow and remember. I don't have a tractor but I do have a pick up truck (not a 5th wheel) and wonder where you would hook up the come-along. Thanks for all your videos; they are terrific!

[@Kalleron]

I realize this is late to your show, but I hook stuff like that to the truck's tow package. 😅

[@lindsaynorman9323]

another great video with a simple do it yourself gadget to make a homestead task a bit easier :D thanks a bunch

[@CandDproductions1]

I love the new intro Doug!

[@celinebridges7817]

Hey Doug and Stacy. Great video. Wow it looking great . Great way to use our left over chicken wire . Garden looking nice and neat . And to walk barefoot is great . We thinking about making a raised bed .. just to try out for our winter greens . See how it work out for us . We have a large garden.. but want to plant berries this coming year . Thanks for all your help . Blessing 👩‍🌾

[@annotoole5864]

Thanks for the hot tip as I would not have know that one...probably would have put it through the link!

[@tpfarm3535]

Great video, awesome tip! Thanks for all your information!

[@CoolHandLukeakaSgtBilly]

Doug, Its a Come-A-Long not a wench. Enjoy your channel. Glad I found you folks.

[@sneak6654]

I'm going to Home Depot and get me some steeples, lol. The garden looks awesome, can't wait for the full review.

[@PreachermanPiper]

Loved the way that fence stretcher worked. When I get ready to expand my deck I will call you, your faster than an automatic nailer. LOL LOL LOL

[@mikelaney3026]

Enjoy that introduction! Job sure do go a lot easier when you have the proper tools God bless you and yours and God bless the USA

[@debnelson8127]

Actually just needed that last minute tip for a kids tire swing. Thanks!

[@offgridsweden]

Great video on how to put up a fence. I will make one of those streachers for my self. Right now my fence around my garden is kind of loose. Thanks for the tip with the chain.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I made one of these years ago and put a video together on it. Works great really only needs three bolts though.😊

[@glennanderson8783]

Great video! Here in Texas we have to bury the bottom 6 inches of the fence to help keep the critters from going under the fence. Also, the wild hogs are pretty bad here so a second layer of 2x4 wire is generally needed as well.

[@SundazeFarm]

Thanks so much for this video! The detail was SO helpful!

[@hindy014]

awesome video, never thought to use Chicken wire. Well done!

[@terrywalters7775]

Don't worry about it, Doug. They're steeples down here in south Texas, too.

[@janetcroneberger9972]

Loved the tutorial, thankyou!

[@OhItsJustMe2]

WOW!! We could have used that when we were building our chicken yard. Very smart idea!!!

[@johnjanedoe1676]

Thank you for your wisdom sharing! Such good info!

[@debmazalan3386]

Both my Dad and Grandpa called it bob wire. I think I was in college before I knew it was barbed wire. Takes me back!

[@RobD777]

Thanks for the helpful videos and nice tzitzit! Good bless

[@5argetech56]

excellent video Doug. I did something similar but I didn't use chains I used 2 heavy duty nylon compression straps reinforced with Kevlar.

[@franknz1797]

Thanks Doug for that great idea

[@keithmartin7831]

Well the Amish look is a nice touch. To make a real fence stretcher from wood use sawmill mill cut oak like the one I have that was my father and grandfathers. The store bought pine wood and fence post won't last long. But it's nice for a garden for 3-4 years. Good job showing beginners how to try to make it.

[@badroolshaw2638]

love your videos wish I had a garden, hi Stacey

[@bradbarnett7747]

Just a quick tip. If you want to stop missing with your hammer as much, wrap you thumb around the handle on the hammer. Keeping your thumb in line with the shaft makes you roll the hammer and miss more often. Great video to keep critters out of your garden.

[@feltedwitch4118]

Love the new intro!

[@jackstrawfromwichita5016]

Thank you bro. May Yeshua bless you and your family

[@sirwoody1sirwoody154]

love the safety boots .good video as usual

[@billcat1840]

Thank you. Im doing this this morning and wanted some tips.

[@dianetobysadventures1174]

Great chain tip, great video

[@rhomeusa5160]

Thank you for the nice video I Remember when you hook your chain it's the opposite the Wild Side 2

[@larryc7452]

my grandfather had one of these made from 4x4's. Then again he was stretching all sorts of wire and used his old Ford tractor. You could play a tune on them wires and I can't say that I remember him breaking one. But then by the time I came alone he had had lots or practice.......

[@rdkitchengarden4359]

real nifty idea. Have a great day

[@johnwessinger7768]

Another good video and tips! Thanks!!

[@LoneStarLiving]

Great video brother!

[@debbie62140]

Love your videos but never seen chicken wire installed like that. We do it diferently over here in France. We put a diagonal post at each end / corner post to keep the end posts upright. Then three wires over the length of the run: one near the top, one at the middle, and one right at the bottom, these wires are doubled over and stapled hard at one end then loosely stapled on each middle post. At the other end post we attach ratchet wire stretchers (really inexpensive) to stretch the horizontal wires. Finally the chicken wire (or other wire fencing) is attached to the horizontal wires with wire clips leaving about six inches at the bottom to peg down (or bury) to keep rabbits out. If the chicken wire itself is stretched like that I think it will quickly go out of shape, especially when the end posts start to lean.

[@tracyflenner]

Good information, thanks for sharing.

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

hey Doug. it's all coming along nice. your season is so far ahead of us. im jealously watching you et tomatoes and all the goodies from your garden and i've got nothing yet! lol wondering if you are going to brace those corner posts. even chicken wire will pull them in and you'll be redoing them next Spring.

[@louisescribner7036]

love your diy

[@markh3478]

Nice . Thanks . Just what I needed to know .

[@N8urecure]

Thumbs up right off the bat just because you said "homestead homies"

[@debbytomlinson9970]

YES !!!!! Another video from Off Grid With Doug and Stacy !!! Shabbat Shalom to All !!!

[@terrywalters7775]

Shabbat shalom from south Texas, Homestead Homie!

I love the new entro! !!!😘

[@serendipitybymelanie6077]

Thank you so much....I needed this

[@texaschopper3091]

Nice tip at the end.

[@frankirwin2377]

Good tip Doug. Homies.

[@merrilynblackmore6962]

You and Stacy are always so happy with what you do. Would really love to be in country like you guys. How did you pick Missouri? Thank you for all your great info.

[@dustyroads2774]

Knowing a bit about chicken wire, the run is long. How about running a top and bottom wire to secure it to so it is less likely to sag? I enjoy watching your projects and wish I could participate!

[@jlupe7668]

Thank's amigo nice explanation, 👍👍

[@jeffreyriek7177]

Thanks Doug!

[@missmix48]

My bolts are all long so before I put on my second board I add my chain to two of the bolts THEN put the second board on and tighten it all down. That eliminates having to put any holes in your wire and your chain is using the bolts for the strength to do the pulling. The chain would go 1/4 of the way to the top and 1/4 of the way toward the bottom. The center of all that chain would then be where you hook your come-along to. And I hooked my come-along to my garden mower or my truck and pulled it only till it stood up then I used my come-along to tighten in. Did I explain that good for you?

[@missmix48]

@DUZTEM DE7IL I don't have a way to make a video nor would I know how to put one up. So I just thought I would explain what I do because It seems way easier and I thought he or someone else might learn from my experience too.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

That was a great video and the new intro was super catchy! Great stretcher idea especially for light duty wire.

[@jackphillips3512]

Large plastic wing nuts. Will save you LOTS of time. Also using eyebolts to run your chain through (and running chain down the middle front of stretcher) saves time and puts the pressure on the front of boards instead of fence. It is also distributing the pressure across the fence (top to bottom). Much easier, less waste. Also, because you have wooden poles (as opposed to T-posts) every 6-8 feet, you don't even have to use the stretcher. You can use large clamps and stretch it at each post and staple it there. That is even better way if you have posts every few feet.

[@groovengravy]

Brave to walk around that clover with bare feet

[@TwoFamilyHomestead]

HERE WE GO (lol toe tappin music !!) (tweeted your video)

[@ppeek11]

Great Video!!!! Shabbat Shalom

[@HiddenMeadowFarm]

I use the same kind of fence streacher. On mine I drilled two one inch holes through the boards and run my chain through. It looks like a triangle when finished. Then I hook my come along on the front side of the board to pull.

[@christyhall4946]

Thank you for this ❤

[@jardinpetitbassin3787]

Love your videos! Love the new intro!! Are you using treated wood for your garden posts? If not, how many years do you expect your fence to last before having to put in new posts? (I'm also preparing for aging in place)

[@MiguelOjedaJr]

Bango string tight! I can dig it, nice vid!

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

Good work

[@ITSJUNE2]

Thank you for sharing🙂💓👍

[@sierge1]

Hi Doug....do you then go and weave in 14 to 16 gauge fence wire at the top of the chicken wire to stop it from sagging over time and stapling the wire to the posts?

[@cindyrosel9652]

Good video will try this method

[@mariac.4845]

Great video

[@plantingseedsforlife2138]

You ran out of intros? Good tip. We had to use a logging chain to clear some small stumps so we could plant raspberries about 5 or six years ago. It came in handy.

[@williamchristopher1560]

There is also stove bolts. Carriage bolts have a square shoulder benieth the head of the bolt. Stove bolts don't have this. Just the shank of the bolt coming up to the head. Both heads look somewhat like WW 1 helmets.

[@pedcraftsman]

WOW That's fast Doug!!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

jimmy johns fast =)

[@Sasquatchbones]

Great stuff

[@bryantfamilyhomestead5898]

Doug i think your real name is sneak peek..... lol great job.

[@kleineroteHex]

cool, thanks!

[@williamchristopher1560]

You might want to make some kind of a mark at one end of each stretcher board inside and out, so that you don't waste time setting up just to find that you have to turn the board without the bolts in it around to line up with the bolts IF they aren't EXACTLY spaced the same.

[@PermaPen]

Clever! I saw somewhere or other a demo of how to deal with netting and sloping ground (posts aren't at right angles to ground) - have you had to deal with that?
