We're Avoiding Food Shortages And Saving Money By Doing This | Off Grid In The Canadian Wilderness

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Good morning, where is everyone watching from? Do you have a garden planted this year?

[@GeneMatheney]

Florida, never had a garden before. Maybe I should try a potato bucket.

[@davidsuperdavelarson6174]

Kansas and sort of planted turn off nasty hot so quick held off on some of it.

[@Avaloniac]

near Cologne, Germany, garden is in its final state., just winter vegetables left to plant

[@glengillis7775]

congrats on giving full time KZbin a try. so far your doing good. Must be getting $$$ already. Are those chick a meatbird breed? Might be slow growing if not. Will be watching and cheating for ya. thanks for the video.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

@@glengillis7775 yes, they are a heritage based meat breed and growing fast. Bred on a small BC farm, and not owned or controlled by EW group (global monopoly of commercial chicken genetics) which I thought was interesting and a selling factor for getting this breed.

[@margaretbruce644]

Katie, many years ago my hubby went to the hatchery to get 50 meat chicks. They asked him how much room he potentially had and so he came home with 500. Took us 3 weekends and all of our extended family to process them. Also, our daughters made a pet of one of them and he had to get them to point it out and catch it so that he could move it into another shed. Crazy but happy memories! Hope you have lots of good ones! Watching in West Kootenays.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Haha wow, that is quite the jump in number of birds 😅

[@cynthiabolick3892]

Hello guys from NC , tks for videos. Grats on staying home and taking care of homestead , getting to make ya'll videos. Boy your small first grey kitten has grown and what a beauty. I hit like on all your videos , watching your playlists. Much love to you and all furbabies and feather babies.....

[@josephineflatt74]

I did all I can to help your channel I shared it with Facebook and twitter and I it the bell and the thumbs up, good luck you guys.

[@pw3019]

Hello from the sunny UK. A good tip for planting, is plant your carrots next to your onions. The carrot fly does not like onions and will leave your carrots alone and the onion fly does not like carrots so they protect each other. There is a great book called "Carrots love Tomatoes" by Louise Riotte that explains what vegetables should be planted with others as natural protection etc. for each other and what grows well together - may be of some use.

[@joandovaston7579]

Love the fact that you’re staying home working and YouTubing that’s a win for you and of course we the viewers ... Greetings from Australia .............

[@eloleddie]

Those little chicks are so sweet. Wonderful creatures that seem to be able to look after themselves as long as they are provided with food and water in time. Wish you success in their growth so they will provide you with some delicious meals!

[@terryjohnson9082]

Good for you Katie - I waited about 20 years to long leave corporate BS. You are much smarter than I. Good Luck!!!!

[@paulapogmore102]

From West Lafayette, Indiana (Purdue territory). Started our first garden this year. Raised bed with drip hoses because we have very sandy soil in this yard. Just starting to reap the rewards. It's so exciting!

[@perry9049]

Home development isnt about wishful thinking. It's about capturing a dream. Keep making those memories and dreams come true. Great work as always!"

[@trudyschaffer8016]

Two of the best matched folks on KZbin. You work SO WELL together! This is such fun to watch! Who needs to sleep… 😊

[@rdeanbenson2214]

Appreciate your efforts! Love the videos! We used to raise chickens, hogs, cattle on our family farm/ranch- cutting our own firewood. Six kids in the family- each had chores. You Two give me hope for the future of mankind!

[@LL-kl7be]

Katie! You are living my life goals. We are are not far behind you. Greg - love that you support this. 💕

[@glendajune9140]

Look at you Katie, making your homestead productive with chicks,& veggies. Hoping everything thrives with a little TLC.🤞🏾🤞🏾💯😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@niknoks6387]

Everything is coming together. I wish you all the best Katie, I’m sure you will be fine, both you and Greg seem like hard workers and super determined to get stuff done. ❤️🇬🇧

[@dorothyallen3614]

I pray you remain brave and courageous for y’all’s future. Watch your videos all the time.

[@sandratweedale2579]

I love all your poultry and the goats. It’s so special how you feature them. Makes me laugh how you interact with all the animals, imagine going for walks with cat, dogs and goats! Just love it 🥰 All the while building a two story home. Remarkable, but the reason I keep coming back. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us along during your adventures. From Ottawa

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

It was good to see you knew to dip their beaks in water.watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸 No Snow Just Breeze!

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

You should dip them all, but you’re on top of the game

[@lauramoldenhauer8016]

Congratulations, you are great at what you do, so bring out those extra videos, we will definitely be watching them!

[@nickiprest2176]

Congratulations on being able to concentrate on your dreams Katie. Just make sure you still make time for yourself and your friends.

[@karenriggle5435]

Your videos are getting better the more you do

[@nikolas18v]

Although a city dweller (I live in Athens, Greece), I really enjoy watching your excellent teamwork, but also the strength and determination you exhibit in each and every episode aiming at creating a very good, independent, and complete infrastructure there. Congrats to both of you.

[@josephineflatt74]

me watching from Greeley, Pennsylvania.

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

There's a you tube creator channel called Simple Living Alaska that would be really helpful for your gardening and chickens.

[@paulapogmore102]

I love watching you! You'll do well on this new job. Stay real, please! I love you guys just how you are 😊. Good luck!

[@glbell4024]

Congrats Katie! Good luck, I wish you both all the success in your dreams. Keep up the good work.

[@maxmillion4216]

Katie you got this. You're a natural at making YT videos. I really enjoy watching you and Greg making a homestead. Your new subscriber from Seattle...!!!!

[@anne-marieduplessis445]

I'm from South Africa and don't have a big garden. I'm looking forward to more videos and i know you would make a success of tubing and handling the farm. You did your homework before quitting your job. Good luck and prayers🙏💖

[@hillbillyslayer7513]

Pennsylvania here love how every video is a no braw day for her very nice to look at I'm a fan

[@radar2ana]

Good job with the chicks and garden. Just be careful to not feel overwhelmed… it’s a lot of work.

[@lindamcwilliams3377]

Congratulations from N Ireland😃

[@tonygrimes13]

Also from NI.

[@michaelwebb8890]

Congrats, Katie. With the price of auto fuel, you are probably coming out ahead making this content. You and Greg are doing great. Keep up the channel and I look forward to seeing what adventures and projects you two do. Writing from Southern Indiana.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Thanks. My office was just opening up when I left and it was an hour commute. I certainly don't miss the drive

[@backyardmechanic921]

When rearing chicks never have square corners as they can suffercate if frightened. I;d say you need both lamps going as they were huddled under the light. They should be in a circle round the light and food should be one end and water the other. I used to rear 2500 at a time to turn into laying hens. I wish you the best of luck rearing them, nothing like home grown food.

[@gdrnrn]

Hi, just found your channel, looks great .Ron UK

[@trapps99]

Congrats on quitting your job and starting your new job as official homesteader/vlogger. Wishing you lots of success

[@605portdawg]

Good evening, watching from Spokane, WA, US. I had never heard of the Mistral Gris breed. I have now done a lot of reading on them. I like them because you can save some hens and roosters, start egg production, and hatch your next year's meat birds. I have been raising the Cornish Cross for about 3 years. I may have to try the Mistral Gris next year. Congratulations on your new endeavor. Sometimes it's hard to close that door to open a new one. Katie you are going to do great! :) Thanks for sharing your life with us. Looking forward to future videos!

[@claudiorossi848]

Congrats, Katie!🙂

[@dianegranger6864]

Hi from Perth Western Australia. All the very best. You will love watching things grow and learn from nature around you. Your garden's looking healthy.

[@walterchapman2884]

Hey I see what I think is a Bluebird bus in the background , honestly I worked at the plant in Fort Valley Georgia that produces them, 45 years , now retired!

[@markmckeachnie4484]

Good for you Katy. Do what makes you happy 😃

[@flowerstone]

You should put a thermometer in with the chicks. Should be 90 - 95 degrees for the first week. Drop the temp about 5 degrees each week and then keep about 70 degrees till the become old enough to keep each other warm.

[@judithauclair8935]

Kate you are amazing, doing all the right things. Good luck!!!

[@fiendeng]

Way to go Katie! you are going to crush it, you make awesome content Maybe it's the breed of meat birds I got from my local co-op farm store but they are huge. It's only been 8 weeks some are well over 7 lb and I don't free feed them. But I do soak their feed for just over two days, they love it and they don't devour it like the dry stuff and the increased water uptake helps the big ones in the heat Congrats on becoming a full-time farmer ! 😁✌️

[@voneschenbachmusic]

Tiny fluffy dinosaur babies! Good luck with the channel Katie - hopefully it will grow and flourish!

[@knowonespecial7375]

Congrats Katie (and Greg)! My hubby and I are digging the multiple videos a week. Keep them coming and we’ll keep watching from Florida!

Not too far away in Kamloops. My wife is the green thumber. She has a small veggie and flower garden. We’re retired and I just try to keep everything working. What else can I say? You guys are my favs and I look forward to every new video 👍

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Good for you Girl your needed more at home then working and house will go better too

[@loucinci3922]

Remember, heat raises. Maybe put lamps back in corner (three sides) and a top. Might contain the heat more with one lamp running. Also consider insulating the sides with reflective? They are so cute.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Yes, I taped reflectix up around the stand and it made a huge difference

[@heatherd3660]

Greetings from not so sunny Alberta! Congrats on the move to full time homesteading!

[@corinnetonelli489]

Hi South West coast of the UK .Veg all in and growing well, eating our potatoes and salads

[@lindakearney9330]

Congrats on starting a new adventure in life ie: quitting your job. Off grid is the way to go and self-sustaining is even better. Harder than any job you may have been doing. Already I can see your facial expressions are softer and you seem to have found your happy part in life. More people should stop worrying about what that can acquire and more about what they can do to live a full life. Keep the videos coming I enjoy seeing you both thrive.

[@louis220558]

AWESOME , KZbinR HE HEEE LOVIT , ENJOY IT KATIE LOVE YOUR CLIPS . SOUTH AFRICA

[@davidpayne2880]

When making your place for the new meat birds make sure there are no 90 degree corners. They can pile up and suffocate those on the bottom. Good luck.

[@505WHODATS]

Freedom!!...Good job Katie. I love watching your progress, and great teamwork. I am located in New Mexico and my wife and I have been gardening for many years.
