I delivered all four of my children without a doctor or a midwife and I never asked permission! Everyone tried to convince me that I didn’t have a right to do that, and that if things went wrong, I would surely go to prison, but I trusted God and not the government and it worked out so well we decided to homeschool! Now my kids are all grown and are doing exceptionally well compared to what the average is, I call them all wealthy! They all picked up on my work ethics and they all Love the Lord!

[@roseybeesley4110]

Well done you, I wish I had come to the truth so I could have done the same with my children. But I woke up in 2004 my children were already jabbed and gone through indoctrination by then. But better late than never.

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

Indoctrination whether be religious or otherwise is indoctrination none the less.

[@cat143143]

But, do they have gender confusion, talking about all sorts of non-binary gender roles? If not you're a terrible person that raised them all wrong.

[@keithclickner3923]

The truck's name is ...A2B..!!!!!

[@jwfinley7808]

The jab is your damn fault!!

[@donniehelmly4920]

That driver is awesome. My wife says that I drive in reverse better than most drive straight. So I appreciate his skill.

[@RunawayMattCass]

hahah :) Ya he did a great job!

[@danhardin7243]

The Bible says: "despise not the day of small things!" God bless you two!

[@jojobaker1764]

This man is lucky to have a woman that is happy with what you have and not what social media says a woman should happy with ..

[@RunawayMattCass]

We always knew we wanted to live a bit differently :) Finding happiness in a slow simple life

[@stephenmartin1480]

Put up a gate to keep the county out . Also post yiur property with no trespassing signs !

[@KevinVanGelder]

NEVER allow the police do ANY inspection on your private property! If you do, you've waived your rights and any crimes he discovers while he's there are fair game for prosecution.

[@whitefeather5629]

Should have told the cop he was trespassing and forced him to leave your property.

[@SusanSoCal1]

He would have retaliated against the driver as soon as he left the property. And the owners as soon as he saw them again. Cops have become evil.

[@charlesabbott5563]

You have no clue what you're bloviating about, that's a dot cop he can inspect any commercial vehicle at anytime and anyplace. Why because the Supreme Court says they can fir public safety.

[@KevinVanGelder]

@@charlesabbott5563 the Supreme Court is dead wrong, like they have been on hundreds of other rulings. The right to privacy trumps "public safety" utter nonsense.

[@whitefeather5629]

Not on private property. He should have pulled him over beforehand.

[@rudyfisher7660]

Secret poison ivy death wheel alerted to it too but if I get it on me. I know that if I take dawn soap just wash and soap and wash it off immediately, I keep it with me and just rub it on me. It kills the oils and you can wash them off and not have any problem. I've found that I've never even got it because of dawn soap.

[@RunawayMattCass]

Thanks for the suggestion !

[@markpack1111]

Don't worry, The State will take it away when they find out you are happy and safe.. they will find a way ...

[@gayleb9656]

You can get Guinea fowl to help with the ticks 😀

[@RunawayMattCass]

We are actually considering it! Hahaha

[@Go4Corvette]

Good luck, and I hope you can keep it. A lot of people are being kicked off their property even in Tennessee. Just the other day some off-grid people were kicked off their property for not meeting the codes and nearby townspeople gave them a hard time. Posting on KZbin makes it hard to hide what you are doing and not everyone will be supportive of you guys. Freedom is dying.

[@1spiritdancer]

Saw the same video - Amish built was disallowed in a certain area as installed and pre construction were both considered problems for another couple - similar story w difficult ending - hope all is well in this case!

[@mikes9759]

Unbelievable!! Everybody's gotta get their noses in there!!!!

[@johndouai4833]

How you solve this? When you BUY or inherit property...get it in a LAND PATENT... NO property TAXES and the government can NOT put a LIEN on it either. Simple to do. Doesn't take a fake attorney either.

[@butterflySmiles2]

He was really trying to find something. Olives in East Tennessee, and that's par for the course....$$$$$$$$$$ ! you got it!

[@nancydumas2906]

Nice to see young people willing to work hard for what they. Proud if u both.

[@RunawayMattCass]

This means a lot! We have worked so very hard to get here and learned so many lessons along the way. Cheers to hard work and a cold beer after it is all over haha :)

[@carpman_here8133]

You two are the embodiment of letting the river of life take you where it may. Your journey has wandered around the globe and even though you now have a destination to stay, you will continue to grow and touch lives with the infectious love of life you two possess. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. As always,stay safe and love ya!

[@RunawayMattCass]

Ya know sometimes you just have to let that Astro van point wherever it wants to drive and follow it :) We feel inspired right now to create and share with amazing people like you. As always bud your support means the world. Love ya

[@davidguthrie6602]

Tennessee has beautiful country!👍

[@suethomas5387]

You will love it! I have lived in my 14x28 for 5 years. I do not regret one single day. Oh, and I by choice do not have running water. I love the rain water idea. I have electricity. I have everything I need to be comfortable and at home!

[@RunawayMattCass]

That is so awesome! Love to hear about other people doing this as well. The biggest things we learned from van and bus life is to just live within your means and do what you need to feel comfortable and content. Than just start filling your space with happiness and love!

[@watchdogu.s.a.8973]

Ok... I stopped for a couple of minutes as you came and sat down on your new front porch. This is my first time seeing you guys and I have to say... I love you guys... and Cass's excitement is soooo incredibly infectious! Congratulations!!

[@ramonaparran7304]

I just love your genuine energy , it is so infectious. Thank you for letting come along for the ride .

[@RunawayMattCass]

Appreciate you so much! Happy to have amazing people like you following us!

[@rammannawar1626]

Nothing is more satisfying than clearing land for your new homestead ❤

[@kennethunce9506]

I just happened upon your channel, and it made me smile. Cass has the most pleasant smile and presence. I’ll look forward to following you thru your journey. Peace and blessings to you both.

[@RunawayMattCass]

Wow. People like you make it all worth it :) Happy to have you here for the journey. See ya on the next one.

[@53221carvel]

You weren’t homeless. Just houseless. Not anymore. Glad I found your channel.

[@RunawayMattCass]

So happy to have you here! And we totally agree! Our little van is still the coziest little home :)

[@brandyn6644]

Wow that sounds like a deal!

[@Dirtywhtboy87930]

Why didn’t you build it? Bust out a generator and some saws and get lumber delivered! That’s what I would have done.

[@marieennis6114]

I also live in Tennessee. I also bought a tiny house. And let me tell you, the first thing you're gonna want to do is insulate. I used rock wool. And do yourself a big favor and insulate your floor. I haven't done that yet. And it's bloody cold in the wintertime. I wish you lots to luck with your cabin. Mine is a 12 by 28, and I love it.😊

[@biohazard_613]

Good advice. It’s better insulation than fiberglass and adds a lot of sound deadening.

[@RunawayMattCass]

Yes insulation is sooo important and we know all about cold floors living in a van and a bus for the last 3 year haha. We invested in really good slippers lol. Would love to see your little cabin :)

[@sixstringstruggle6508]

That state cop showing up on your property is going to cause you problems. That driver should’ve never come onto your property with him in tow. First thing you should’ve done is told that cop to get off your property.

[@JustATakit]

LOL, gezz do you get out much? The police officer did them a favor and no they could not make him leave because of the hot pursuit law states that as long as an officer is in pursuit of a suspect and does not loose sight of them they can follow them anywhere to get them in custody or investigate a crime.

[@jsiwek7212]

No warrant, no entry! No tresspassing signs up.

[@elrobo3568]

I had the bigger size building delivered to my rural home surrounded by huge trees and on a slope, The delivery guy had to maneuver it for about 30 minutes between the trees and set it. Your building looks great! You made a good choice. Happy days ahead.

[@RunawayMattCass]

Wow that sounds like a dream spot for one! We hope you enjoy every minute of it. Our favorite part on ours is how the light hits it at different times of the day bringing out different colors in the wood. Thanks for watching and we hope you hang around for more of the adventure!

[@PromiseLandBarns]

Congratulations on your tiny home adventure! You two are awesome! So glad we found your channel and look forward to seeing your dreams come to light. God bless you both and keep you in His loving care.😁

Couldn't agree more!!

[@kerrytoby7041]

I love to hear you say " This is home " That is a great emotional statement. I am happy for you both!

[@larryparish5984]

Suggestion for alge control, remove the IBC totes from the cages. Rough sand them, then paint them & return to the cages. If you don't sand them, paint will not stick for very long & will start flaking off. This is coming from experience. Good luck in your new adventure.

[@RunawayMattCass]

Yes thanks so much for the knowledge! We actually bought covers for them so we shouldn't have an alge problem. They were kinda pricey though so next time we might just paint lol. Thanks for watching, hope you stick around for the journey.

Hey guys a thought for you. In Tennessee you can live In a travel trailer on your land tomy knowledge as long as the wheels are attached they aren't considered a living structure. If the wheels are on it you don't pay property tax on the trailer as long as you live in it. Just a. Thought, God Bless you both.

Stumbled upon your channel. You youngsters are so enjoyable to watch. Enjoy and be grateful 🙏🏔☮️😊

If your astro van ever gets the major oil leak my 1999 astro did i was leakinbg a qt of oil every 3 miles . i fixed mine myself inside the oil filter housing their is a rubber O Ring and a paper gasket also a gasket on the oil filter line. i boiled the filter housing 2.5 house to get the inside 100 percent clean. put it all back togeather not 1 drio leaks no leaking at all. my astro has 326k miles

[@JesterTop]

Wow! That cabin looks awesome! Cant wait to see how you build it out.

[@RunawayMattCass]

Thanks so much! We are so happy with it. Now the fun/ hard work begins 😆

[@nanoentity]

i would rip that back wall off and put a slide door, the view from the backside is actually better then the front, and you get more light, problem is winter also the foundation is a no no, when it going to rain, the house is going to sink, might even slide all the way down the slope I would had bought few bags on concrete and made concrete posts with some rebar, before placing this, its no that hard the way its placed, if your planing to be there long time, you need to rethink what your doing. just my 2c

[@RunawayMattCass]

Making adjustments to the back wall would cut into usable space which is needed to make the 288 sq foot space fully functional. The view is actually best from the right side of the cabin as it's where the sun sets and has ridge views. That is where we plan to build an entire outdoor space. In regards to the installation, it is sitting on 16 separate platforms and our dirt there is very firm and well draining - it's the highest point of the entire property (the delivery day you saw was after constant rain for a full week) Ultimately, this was leveled with a high-lift jack and blocks so if we need to make adjustments, we'll be able to do it ourselves and we will keep an eye on things. We can still add cemented posts at the back end if we decide they are needed by getting the post as close to the platform as we can, high jacking a few inches, filling the space (block or wood) and then lowering.

[@nanoentity]

@@RunawayMattCass good to hear, keep up the great work.

I just plumed A 16X32 shed much like yours for a customer 2 months ago. Water supply lines for sinks, shower, toilet, water heater, washer and 2 outside faucets, all drain lines (some grey and some black water). Black to the septic and grey to the back 40 french drain/rock bed. I watched the electrical panel go in and all lighting, receptacles inside and out. Make sure you understand/follow all state and local codes and pull all required permits. The County Mounty having already been there may pose a future problem (even if it wasn't you he was investigating, it was you he was investigating). Good Luck and May God Bless

I saw the TN Highway Patrol and was like "Someone getting their rig inspected." It was really cool of him to allow it to be delivered because if the driver had any big issues with the truck or trailer, it would have been towed off. That cabin would be sitting in an impound lot to this day.

[@shellyitoh9570]

American living in Japan. I enjoy watching homesteading videos. Hope to have my own similar property here in Japan someday. My first recommendation would be get some chickens to help fertilize the ground. You can find lots of homesteaders who use a movable house/pen that allows you to move the chickens every few days. This way they are eating the unwanted foliage and fertilizing at the same time. Plus you get free eggs! Someone already mentioned water catchment. It’s great you’ve got a tin roof. It the best for catching rainwater. You’re lucky to have so much fresh water on your property but if you want to be truly off grid with water, I’d look into a water catchment system and French drains for sewage. You can learn a lot from the Earthship water catchment system design. This type of system can allow you to remain completely off grid if your county permits that sort of thing. Looking forward to watching your homestead grow!

[@RunawayMattCass]

Thats for the information bud! Looking into getting chickens maybe end of winter this year. Hope to have you around next video!
