Shalom, brother. The wife and I have been a long time fans of your channel here in SoMo, but I was lost for words when I saw the despicable words and Spirit being conveyed from a believer writing out "Let's Go Brandon". We're pretty sickened, and hoping that you revisit your ruach

@@NoNORADon911 there is so much controversy, I see homesteaders putting them and have been putting them in huge food grade containers (barrels) with NO mylar, NO oxygen absorbers, and I wonder how the old timers did it BEFORE they ever had mylar and oxygen absorbers. I DID put them in 5 gal mylar bags, and squished all the air I could get out of them and sealed them with its zip lock liner. Think it'll be ok? thanks

My 97 year old mom is in hospice in a facility. However, we're about to begin construction on our simple "aging in place" home. My husband is 78 and already unsteady on his feet.We're spending extra money to make it accessible with walk in showers, concrete outside, etc. I'll be putting in raised gardens, a chicken coop, a small orchard and fruit trees/grapes with a good sized country kitchen for canning, dehydrating and hanging out.

I am so glad you talk about the rough part of homesteading. People have been coming out of the city and expect to live like they did in the city. It is darn hard to live on a homestead, and is not for those foks that don't want to work or can't. I am 70 things get harder as we age fortunately I have family that can offer a hand for the things I can't do, or. heavy lifting. I still do all the gardening and food preservation. It is hot sweaty work. And I do most of the work as my husband has health issues. So women better be strong, because that tree won't fall itself wood won't split itself either. Cloths need washed sometimes by hand as the electric will go out pretty regular. And this clothes need patched as we can't run to the store all the time. The Good Lord willing we can continue this until the day we leave this earth. Blessings to Doug and Stacey for all they are sharing to help the youngn's to learn.

My husband has already made it clear he has no desire to homestead or live in the country. He's lived his whole life on the same street in the township, and we've been watching the city with it's filth and its noise creep closer and closer every decade. This used to be a little dirt road between the greenhouses and the city, and now it's paved with heavy trucks going down it multiple times a day. I miss the quiet.

That is what Doug said about President Trump. Like we are idiots, who don't know that God is out Savior!!

I’m going down my garden later and putting in a new hose so I don’t need to open the garden room and attach the current hose and then drag it for miles up and down the hill. I’m helping build a raised bed tomorrow. I’ve raised all the growing space in my greenhouse. Little things make such a difference.

Depends where you live in the UK. I looked after a friend’s farm last week and they are off grid bar electricity but I’d bet my bottom dollar the owner has a lkck ass generator in one of his many barns. Even my own neighbour has one. Lots of people in rural Somerset live on small holdings you wouldn’t believe. Just a few weeks ago a small detached cottage came up for sale, in a field, no road and the bathroom was a porta pottie. Opportunities to live this life aren’t as easy but they are doable.

You have given us the tools and the knowledge to try to live as much as we can being self sufficient even though we live in the city. We have so enjoyed watching you build your mom's home through a couple of your accidents, and to see the updates. I had no idea how to subscribe and all that, until today I was determined to figure it out after the grandkids went home. Thank you for your years of sharing your life with us, so we can become more self sufficient. First year of a large garden. We had something out of the garden that I thought looked like what Stacy said was Purslain. Told my husband lets give it a try and if not I guess we did a Romeo and Juliet thing. It was good and were still here. Didn't know a weed from a vegetable, but we're figuring this out.

Good job Doug, I wish my husband would think of everything ahead too. We all eventually will age so it's good to be prepared. After I got foot pain I had no choice but a sedentary lifestyle and then after came back pain. My back pain was diagnosed to be degenerating disks which is in most cases for those who have sedentary life. The doctor advised me to get cortisone injection which I had to do it every six weeks. I didn't agree with the doctor and told him that with that injection it would be like I turn off house fire alarm while there is fire there. The damage will be greater than what it is now. So I thought( BTW I'm a nutritionist) I had to feed my body what it needs ; glucosamine and chondroitin and some vit.C together (the building blocks of our disks and cartilage). I used to take 2 per day 500 mg each but apparently that wasn't enough so I increased it to 4/day and I felt better and then to 6 and then 8. Even 8 is not that much considering to be 4 grams of cartilage. We can take more. Thank God My back pain was gone in less than a year. Still i take those supplements plus some light exercise, walking and light gardening. I wrote all this because you take good care of your mom and I thought sharing it could help her. I wish the best for you and your family and thank you and your lovely wife for sharing your helpful videos.🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Doug for another informative video. We do everything ourselves here on our homestead but appreciate your methods. We always look at other farmers around our area to see how they do things. We live in rural Kentucky with many Amish families. We are from the city but there were still some farms left. I owned my own horse and took care of other people's horses and then ran to the office. My entire life I wanted to live on a farm so it was always part of the plan. I don't have any horses right now but we have chickens and cows. The costs of keeping horses right nowadays is saddeneding. But never say never. You and Stacey keep up the great work. Happy Father's Day. Best, Patty

Hey Doug & Stacey..we hope to be living on our off grid homestead before December.I'm 67 but I have faith that I can do this..my Mother will be joining us ad soon as we're established & settled.. She just had her 102nd Birthday but she's sharp as a tack & has a great old school perspective of the oncoming 'storm'.. Self reliance & ingenuity is the way to go for sure.We really appreciate you guy's videos..they are the best on You Tube without a dought.Thank you. - Earl & Hope

I agree about the storm. After 911 things accumulatively destabilized. I really became interested in macroeconomics and supply chains. The funny thing is right now people who I don't see regularly are telling me they've been thinking about me and what I said back then. It's really hard and expensive preparing for this stuff. I became a single mom when my daughter was 2 years old. With one income it took me over 10 years to pay off my 20 acres and another 10 to save and build a house. I've shared before on your channel that the house is almost done. My brother said about 2 decades ago we would make it to the land "...by the skin of our teeth." That statement reverberated through my mind everyday and kept me focused. You have to prep where you're at and if you haven't started yet it would behoove you to do whatever you can because the clock is ticking and I know my brother was right. I have studied, saved, and prepped for decades. A solar generator is ready, plans for a greenhouse are underway, and a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer will be delivered when I move. Next steps will be water and a wood burning stove. Builder was charging an arm and a leg for everything so we have city water and propane furnace to start. I'm hoping to finally put some videos out as I start this long awaited journey.

Doug more firewood videos would be nice, too. Basically I think most of us enjoy any and all of your videos. Your life is varied, just like Stacy's. Your channel is good at showing the importance of being a "Jack ,(or Jill), of all trades. Thank you for caring so deeply about us. In case you need a reminder, it is reciprocated. Take care, and God bless.

Thank You for being a good son. You and Stacy help each other so much and I’m reminded of my wife and I. Although we are now in central Virginia, we are originally from Dayton, OH. If we can help or you’re ever this way, you have peaceful welcome.
