How to start a homestead with next to nothing

How to start a homestead with next to nothing. I moved off grid after being laid off due to covid. I had no job, very little savings and I had never been to the high desert before. Over three years later, starting a frugal homestead is still the best decision I have ever made.

"Many likely see that I have nothing, and many more likely see that I have all that's worth living for" That was a great statement

[@FrugalOffGrid]

Maybe people will quote me long after I'm gone.

My friend your doing a great job. I live in the high desert of West Texas similar to you. I watch your videos and learn a lot for you too. Your doing a great job keep up the good work.

[@Acrow1837]

It’s my dream to have a homestead in a south western state. You’ve been a big inspiration for that and this video only made it more so, keep it up! Currently been working on gaining some skills and saving money though my grandfather did leave me a nice chunk of cash that I only plan to use for a possible homestead in the future. Thank you for all you do and being you!

Great story, thanks for sharing. I'm a long time climber/desert rat and I think your property looks awesome. I have an old t-shirt that says, " My best vacation is your worst nightmare". Keep up the good work )'(

What an honest and beautiful video and manifesto....

[@FrugalOffGrid]

Thanks!

[@Oregun]

Awesome! You're living the dream. Keep it up. -don

[@adams1625]

Very commendable bro. Looking at the alternative options, my dream is to have a small humble homestead I own, making a decent enough income online to sustain it.

[@keystonepirate2534]

Good for you! Much respect. 🏴‍☠️

[@Dr.sheetmetal07]

Great video, its great to see people like you push thu for there dreams. You have come a long way. Keep up the hard work and keep pushing foreward. I do have to ask, is it hard growing a garden in Northern Az? I have 20 acres close to Show Low and getting ready to make the leap to freedom.

[@staciebamsch2810]

I want to do the same. My only worry is rattlesnakes and theives.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

One could worry about similar things in the city. Either way you need to defend yourself.

[@deecooper1567]

PERSEVERANCE 🤩👊 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@flowers4me745]

It's so cute seeing your dogs with the kittens my dog and cat are good buds also and when I had to move into my van a month ago for financial reasons it was surprisingly my cat that was like ok cool no problem didn't bother him at all my dog didn't take it as well at first he is fine know but at first didn't like it but my cat would cuddle with him when he got upset . I joked that my dog has a emotional support cat lol.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

Tiny seems to enjoy stuffing his head into stapes mouth it's funny to watch. They all have unique personalities.

[@flowers4me745]

@@FrugalOffGrid yeah my dog and cat have a little to much personality sometimes lol jk

[@shaylablair4317]

have you heard of permaculture? i recommend the book gaias garden a guide to home scale permaculture by hemenway. Could help you with being harmonious with the land.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

If you look at my homestead you'll see it's heavily influenced by permaculture.

[@jimboholcomb1]

One of your videos popped up on my feed. I couldn't watch it because I'm not a member. I have unsuscribed. I don't mind that you have memberships, but I'm not going to sift through your videos on my feed.

[@QuantumKurator]

Timestamps would be a nice touch.
