[@arielmatozzo2744]

Amazing what you both have done so far in just one year god bless you and family

[@urbanredneck8359]

Awesome Video. We are homesteading our 13 acres in Arkansas. Looks like your on the same journey we are. Its a lot of work but well worth it. I love doing videos to track our progress also. Thanks for the video.

[@JeffK1962]

Congratz on a job well done. A lot of work and planning has gone into this massive job that is and was ahead of you. By no means done, but you have come a long way. What with all the struggles with weather and all the obstacles that appeared in your way you pushed through. Good job. Thanks for bringing us along for the journey. It has been a tough road. But its great to see all you have overcome. 👍 I hope and pray for your health and continued good progress on your journey.

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thank you!

[@JackieKing-k7e]

You have come along way in one year

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Wow you all had a great year. Buying a tired property and bringing life back to it. It's great seeing young folks doing this. Many years of happiness, prosperity. ❤

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thank you!

[@GemhunterSteph]

[@janetkoball44]

I just subscribed cause I love these kinds of videos. Very interesting. Glad you both got a big garden in before the video ended. Hi baby girl! See you next time from Central Oklahoma

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thank you!

[@antonianovoa6416]

Wow, as a homesteader, you really accomplished so much in such short of time. You were knee deep in it and probably didn't realize it and the effort is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@TriStarHomestead]

Sure has been a lot of work but we love it! Thanks for watching!

[@mja320]

What an amazing difference!! Working pretty much non-stop…..you have to be so proud and happy with all that you have accomplished so far! ❤

[@TriStarHomestead]

We sure are!

[@bambooforestgirl]

Passion has helped him work so hard and tirelessly, do you think like me?

[@MikeShenanigans]

Longtime subscriber. Love your video’s. The supervisor is a sweetie.

[@charw346]

Wow! I’ve been subscribed for a while but I somehow missed a lot of videos! You guys don’t mess around! So impressed with how much you got done first year! My husband and I did the same thing- left the city (Washington, DC suburbs) to buy 50 acres in TN to homestead. We have been at it about a year longer and have tons of progress we didn’t do it with a young child in our arms at the time as our are empty nesters now. Wow! So impressed! What a beautiful journey and a wonderful place to raise your young family! It was fun to see even your dog progress from being somewhat tentative and unsure about walking the through the tall grass in the opening scenes to being a farm dog. Enjoy every moment! We will be watching along with you!

[@TriStarHomestead]

Bummer you missed some but glad you enjoyed this one! Congrats on getting your homestead up and running as well! Sure is a lot of work.

[@gwendolyndaigle6546]

Amazing! That was enjoyable to watch. Thank you. ❤ 😊

Brilliant progress, cnt believe it's been a year already curious to what comes after you finish the house build

[@TriStarHomestead]

The list is very long! Barn, garage/shop, processes shed, water catchment sheds, fencing the perimeter, guest cabin.... etc. I think my list is about ten years long. lol

[@chuckhorner3758]

Nothing but respect for all your hard work clearing around the pond. A massive effort. Oh how a wood chipper would be of use. Keep up the good work. You are making great progress and it shows,

[@lindamitchell3332]

Just found your homestead. I’m from TEXAS so it nice to see young people starting a homestead. Love to keep the homestead life alive. I’m 78 years young. So to see young people growing food and raising animals for food it brings back great memories of my family years ago. You are doing a great job and have accomplished a lot in a year. I will look forward to the next video. ❤

[@TriStarHomestead]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

[@kenfox22]

Like the way you speed up the video. New subcriber. Watch out for those dastardly yellow jackets. They hurt for days. Nice drone footage

[@MosenMasoumi]

[@TriStarHomestead]

We are in Tennessee.

[@jarr2800]

Very nice.

[@timwest8318]

When I get my property will work as you did lol😂❤

[@longbai2473]

You're really amazing

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

if you split your chickens in 1/2 they lay flatter in the freezer bags and cook quicker and more evenly less freezer burn

[@andreewert1925]

I would have built an outdoor covered transition of 10 ft wide between the House and barn..covered by the same trusses..and maybe 2 skylights ..to let Light through..

[@TriStarHomestead]

Are you talking from the house to the attached garage? The garage is attached like most other houses out there.

[@johnrosellerignacio2717]

Amazing

[@andreewert1925]

Take some sand or better gravel, from around the pond and add it to your driveway, get out of the mud

[@kylelouer4323]

Been looking out in this area for some land to start a homestead as well, I’m in the Asheville area, been homesteading here for a while. This area around Knoxville is high on the list

[@TriStarHomestead]

It’s a beautiful area. Asheville is nice too. We looked all over western NC but it just didn’t feel right.

[@kylelouer4323]

@@TriStarHomestead it’s growing a bit too fast for me, but Helene absolutely ruined western nc for the next 10 +years. My girl is an esthetician and spray tan business her her bf and those won’t be flourishing business here anymore, time to readjust and move on I’m thinking. Start a two family homestead in eastern tn somewhere

[@meizeldasilva217]

You should plant things that help with the cleaning of water

[@JacobShodin]

Love the vids. I was just wondering how you are affording all this?

[@vld9561]

Courage

[@pizzapuffankles]

Awesome :)

[@timwest8318]

You intended to do it all alone wow🎉🎉😂❤

[@newbeginner]

Force field could have a sponsor for this video

[@TriStarHomestead]

Honestly, wouldn't take it. That stuff is terrible and I will never use it again or recommend it.

[@tebayane843]

New subscriber here. Was wondering if you had to pull permits?

[@TriStarHomestead]

Thanks for subscribing! Yes we did. Luckily the process is easy here and inspections are easy too.

[@Share_the_laughter]

Vertical growing you will be surprised how much you can fit in, the bible says to proverbs 24:27 Prepare your outside work, Make it fit for yourself in the field; And afterward build your house

[@mianriyaan2647]

Bible is a storybook with a malevolent asshole as it's protagonist.

[@stephaniepolnitz2140]

Awesome God Bless

[@Lovetodrag]

Will you ever go live for a Q and A

[@TriStarHomestead]

Possibly in the future.

[@WilliamLighthall]

Congratulations on one year, what awesome progress on your homestead, enjoyed every one of your videos. The chicken from your homestead was wonderful, looking forward to this year's harvest. Thanks for including us in your adventures.

[@Joey-ne1zi]

WOW! Was a great compilation video. If I understood, yall are near Knoxville? How large is your Homestead (acres) and can you provide a cost for building the house & garage? My wife and Iblive in Phoenix, Az but want to relocate to the Knoxville area and start a Homestead. Thank you for any info you can provide.

[@TriStarHomestead]

We are north of Knoxville but it’s not too far away. We have just over 20 acres.

[@jczheng530]

这个视频会有很好的发展前景。水塘周围的植物砍光了水塘的水就会没有了。

[@michi2966]

congratulation to you! i am from europe. how much did you pay for your land if i may ask. how much acres?

[@TriStarHomestead]

Just over 20 acres and the land in our area is between $10-20k per acre. Depends on what’s on it, quality of land, immediate area, etc.

[@FrancesJones-d5q]

Are you nailing or using screws which seem to hold better?

[@TriStarHomestead]

Not sure what exactly you are asking about but we are using both nails and screws. The girts were nailed on, the LVL's were screwed on, the sheathing was nailed on, the fascia boards were screwed on.

[@Bdub323]

So many 🌳 🌲 🌴 🌳

[@TriStarHomestead]

Sure is a lot of them.

[@BrandonLee-g1p]

Is that a good way to get the pigs in or not I haven’t got a clue
