You won't believe the week we had (& how we turned it around)

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

We seriously cannot BELIEVE we just spent the last few days chipping ICE out of the lake so we could access our waterlines...you seriously cannot make this up! 🤣 As frustrating and unbelievable as it was, it felt incredibly empowering that we were not only able to troubleshoot the issue, but we we tackled it as a family! This week, we sort of bounced around and talked about a whole bunch of different stuff, can't wait to chat with you all in the comments and hear that you think of this episode!

[@thefilipinojoe]

Love hearing your wild stories and sipping the spicy tea. ☕️

[@thecrazyswede2495]

It's a practical way of getting ice for your drinks... At least you will not want for ice in the winter. Perhaps you could use some of the ice to make ice sculptures?🍧🧊 Here's waiting for the tea!🍵🧋💖 cheers! / CS

“Too Gay? Not gay enough?” What in the actually f***?! Seriously straight/gay people y’all got issues if that’s the kind of questions you are having. I’m with Todd. Someone is about to get cussed out for an issue that a company has caused. Why folks are complaining about content because it’s not what they want? Those folks need to take several seat. They have actually have an option.

[@ericeric363]

I watch y’all’s videos and podcast. I may not comment at times but y’all know life happens. Funny thing is after watching your videos for sometime now, I catch myself saying “Oh. Im a Todd.” I entertainment from your content no matter what y’all do. If I didn’t I’d scoot. No need for me to explain why in comments.

[@ericeric363]

I’m going to make comments for the butt hurt folks. I can’t seem to get past the “gay/too gay”. I got a question. Is their a quota or a ratio of gay wet are suppose to be? I been gay a long ass time and I’ve read the handbook. Ain’t s*** in there about it.

[@sheilamassey648]

Last episode T & T spoke about haters who are not impressed now that they are no longer working their asses off on the land. Honestly I am more invested in this new content as I find it more relatable. I wish them nothing but luck and look forward to this new chapter in their lives and feel lucky to be able to witness it.

Look on the bright side. If You both were still working regular jobs... I would compare the haters to people you have to work with day after day after day. At least being online you can ignore them and still be fine. I am sure with so many subscribers the haters are a very small portion of your audience.

[@celinabinns6185]

I started following your KZbin channel because I thought the idea of living off grid is really cool. I continued watching because I really enjoyed watching the two of you, regardless of what you are doing. The podcast allows your viewers to learn more about the two of you. The two of you are what makes both your KZbin and podcasts worth watching. Keep doing what makes the two of you happy and don’t worry about the haters. BTW, We live in Maine and feel your pain with frozen water lines and backed up septic systems. Been there, done that.

You two are pure gold. When life sends you a curve ball - and life sends you many - you sort it out and move on. As a fellow Canadian who has no desire to live off grid because of our winters and because I just couldn’t do it, I just want you two to thrive and be happy.

People have had the audacity to be ANGRY at the guys for making the moves they have and I find it absolutely disgusting how ppl will talk to another human online coming from some false sense of entitlement to be able to tell someone what to do.

You and Charlie and Eddie and Squirrel. Just being with you all doing whatever it is you are doing or going through…we all share it. And ❤ you for sharing it with all of us!

[@flangekiwi]

Here's my tangent: I started watching a channel called "Foxes Afloat" because they were living and traveling the canals of the UK. They've moved on to living on a croft in the Scottish highlands. Like you both - Tyler ❤, Todd ❤ - I came for the adventures, but I stayed because of the beautiful humans I DISCOVERED. ❤ I appreciate you choosing to share your life journey with us all. I personally feel joy in joining you along the way. Thank-you ❤💚❤

[@sweingold5686]

I jumped to their channel and started watching. Ever since watching Outlander I have been fascinated with Scotland...and men in kilts.

[@Alone-in-a-dessert]

I started watching them (Foxes Afloat ) from day one! And LOVED all the knowledge and history I learned from them! They are also the cutest sweet guys. And talking about depression on top of all of that takes guts to put out there in the universe! I just KNOW that they have helped many people who also struggle with the same issues. I loved watching their new boat being built , it was so cool to watch them have it put in the water. ( although I was a nervous mess, like sit on the edge of my seat! ) And now, we are STILL learning, along with them, about their new surroundings and the history. AND the grass fire made my eyes leak heavily. But they were blessed to making it through. I also love the honey bees. ANYWAY…..so sorry for the novel. My point is don’t judge! I enjoy both channels ! As an American , wayyyyy down south, they are a breath of fresh air to me with all that is going on in the world. They all 4 take my mind to “Far Away Lands” and I love it all! ❤

They watch so they can make negative comments because they have miserable lives and they express it by hating on others rather than working on changing their own lives. So sad. They need psychological help.

Simple as that, right!? Thanks so much 😊

I want you guys to know that you are loved. Ignore the idiots who bash you or say anything negative! You have your own reasons for doing what you do... it's your life, and I feel blessed to be a viewer that gets to spend time watching you. You're both so amazing. I just love you. You're so positive and upbeat. I love the comment about letting Squirrel be the queen of the house. That is hilarious. I have a cat named Bitsy Boo as well, and I just love her. I can see that you love yours. Your dogs are so beautiful. I love watching youtube videos when people really show how much they love their animals... like the care you showed when your pup had to have surgery, and then you lovingly helped your dog walk for so long. That to me is wonderful. When you said that you are best friends as well as a married couple; that reminded me of my partner Jeanie who passed away in 2006. We were like that. She was my best friend as well as my partner. We spent all of our time together just like you guys, and I wouldn't have had it happen any other way. Now she's gone, and I miss her so much... It gives me comfort to watch you guys. It makes me happy. So thank you for making your lives so public. I know that there are times when it is difficult, so I appreciate what you do. Forget the neigh-sayers. Both of you are amazing, and when I watch a video of yours; I feel like I am having a visit with you. ...like you could be my son or grandson. I find myself wishing I could make you some cookies, or some pie... or something. lol.... By the way I am in Mississauga Ontario and it is freezing here right now.

Dear Tyler and Todd, thank you for inviting us into your “blanket fort”! The intimacy, honesty and harmony between you two even when you were struggling has been such a gift. You are the show not the land! For me it’s about the way you navigate life and love your family. Don’t let anyone bring you down! You lift us so much by sharing. We are blessed by your willingness to share. I wish I could give you a negative comment filter so you could just read the positive things. I live in a high altitude mountain pass with a wood stove as my primary heat. It is a private road and shoveling is required to maintain access to my house. Winter is no joke and you guys have been on a wild journey. Be proud of where you have been and where you are going. Blessings for letting us come along with you wherever you may go! Hugs and love as you struggle. Love to the fur babies and ongoing blessings for healing to Charlie.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

And when you are willing to share your struggles and to be vulnerable, you show us how to do the same. This channel may be about building an offgrid home, but really you are building resilience and kindness and love along the way.

[@josephadkison5361]

Todd, you said, "... in 10 years, no one is going to know who Tyler and Todd are..." and added "...you can only watch people babble on a couch for so long." You and Tyler are far more precious than those statements indicate. Something you (possible) fail to realize is truly how strong and impactful your simple, candid observations are. You two operate in a world that, while at a distance, allows us to relate to you--understanding what you are experiencing, your joys, your disappointments. In a world where Social Media is meant to bring us closer together, your channels (both Tangents and your original channel) actually accomplish that. In line with many of your assessments about Social Media and content creators, much of Social Media is driving us further apart. By giving us a real, non-crafted glimpse into parts of your life creates the community you see below. THAT is what the power of Social Media was meant to be, and Bravo! to you two for finding your place in this odd world. Thank you for sharing the portions of your lives you are willing to share, and trust that we will not let you go quietly into that good night. HUGS!

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago.

A couple of months before I retired a stranger gave me the best advice: take six months to relax and say “no” to everything. It takes time to adjust to not having things that have to be done at a certain time. It also takes awhile to fill those slots with what is enjoyable. As Tyler said, “every day is an adventure.” You two are so mentally healthy, balance each other so well, it’s a joy to listen to you on the podcast or watch the videos. My only problem with the podcasts being from the cabin…Squirrel doesn’t explore around in the background, or walk across the couch back. Love the tangent on the curated videos! Agree completely.

[@ceebeecee56]

A grandmother here - I love how genuine you both are. Glad you have the cabin to reset and relax. Sorry about the water pipes. Two of the homes we lived in had a similar water freezing problem, and we had to run a tiny stream of water at night to keep the water from freezing. It was our only option at the time. Sad it had to happen to you. Wishing you peace this year and that all good things may come your way. Blessings to you.

For both of you to do what you did for three years was sooo amazing! There were times I would pray for you both! I’m glad you stepped away for a while to just clear your heads!

I have watched you for several years because you are real...you are not fake, not trying to prove anything to anyone. I enjoy watching you conqueror the disasters and celebrate the victories. You inspire many of us to just take life as it comes and all you can do is enjoy, and make the best of it. I look forward to watching you make a home out of both of your properties. I do miss seeing you at the land, however I have enjoyed what you are doing with this new home. Keep smiling. It is about the journey, not the destination.

[@ephrambrown9142]

IMO, all that matters is all that you have done so far, and that is absolutely amazing. You should be so proud of yourselves because your community is. Thank you for taking us with you. Love, boys ❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Thank you for joining us on our adventures! ❤️

[@kerryharding5587]

Totally understand the grind that living on the land is - as much as you love it. That’s a huge mental load!! Hope you resolve the water supply issues soon. So happy to see you all comfy and having time to relax in the cabin. Super wise to recognise you both needed a big ole break 🧡

[@mariecochran9940]

I loved this whole tangent episode! You two are such positive role models!!!! I spent 25 years in the US Amy, about 6 years deployed. This video reminded me of my last 15 month deployment. I found silver lining every day while deployed, and most certainly experience silver linings everyday since. I’m not in a 120 degree Fahrenheit desert, wearing 60 lbs of gear, and I, (mostly) sleeping at home in my own bed. So much to be thankful for every day. Thanks for this reminder.

[@misschris662]

You are such a breath of fresh air! Life IS what’s happening. Enjoy the ride❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Couldn't agree with you more! Thank you ❤️

[@dearheart760]

Hi Guys, I just want to tell you to keep being your own sweet selves! I would be really, really freaked out if I was in your shoes too. The fact that I'm 73 years old keeps me from even thinking about doing what you guys are doing, so I love watching you! You are both sweet, kind, and loving people! Don't let negative folks get you down. Love Ya, dj

[@bryanrivera7405]

Let me say that yall do not owe any of us, your audience/supporters, explanation as to why the off-grid property is not complete as of yet. I can only imagine the work it has and will take for the completion of your vision for that project. We thank you for letting us in but please do not feel the pressure of having to rationalize the needed pause. Y’all are great and I truly appreciate the hard work you exemplify every week and the entertainment you provide to remind us all not to take life too seriously. 😊

[@marysnyder2654]

So glad you bought the new place to enjoy during the winters & whenever. Life is too short to live so hard for so long. Thank you for sharing your lives with us no matter where, how or what you are doing. I'm a 68 year old white, straight, christian white woman from Kentucky in the US. I so enjoy both your channels & look forward to them. If people can't say something good then they can keep their traps shut. Hey why not block the negative nellies! Love you both!

[@richardhoover4471]

Wonderful Tangent! Seriously- the best thing about your videos is that you guys strike the perfect balance between humility and selfless confidence. Unfortunately in the US right now I feel I am surrounded by a shitload of the Confidence lacking the selflessness and barren wasteland of Humility. Thank you for your genuineness and mirth. ❤😊

[@Jojo1957]

I get what you're saying. I lived in the States for 13 years... Virginia. I know exactly what you mean. I keep up with the news and listen to it every day and am saddened and angry by what I hear as well. We in Canada pray for our brothers & sisters in the states that things will settle down and there won't be a mad rush from the states to Canada if the inevitable happens, hopefully all will be well.

[@debrayeska9804]

@@Jojo1957 Thank you! I appreciate your comment. As an American, I am so sad about where our country is right now. We are so divided.☹️ I am still so sad about what is happening to a woman’s right to chose!

[@jantruitt9241]

I absolutely love you both, and you’re fur babies.😊😊😊😊😊

[@joanneholliday6339]

I absolutely adore you guys and have been following you since I first heard you on a pod cast with Eamon and Bec a few years back. I was thrilled to see you were adding a pod cast along with your KZbin videos on Sunday so now Wednesday’s have become another favorite day with Tyler and Todd. As a couple I find you both to be very smart, genuine and hilariously funny so keep on being the real you and forget about the haters, it’s their problem not yours! 😊

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the podcast!! Thanks Joanne 😊

[@anni.7214]

24/7 365 at the land was stressful. Not just living there but developing and intense labor building there! Years with an out house! You have ptsd post traumatic STRESS disorder. The emotions that rise when the lights are left on or the frozen pipe "melt down" It will get better over time ♡ the dome should be 3 seasons and the container home 4 seasons... You kids look so good♡ Your eyes look great♡ Rest hibernate and recover♡ You are wonderful just how you are! Thank you for taking us on your journey❤

[@Trishpage312]

No joke you guys. I’ll be 58 next month. I live in Chicago and painted faces at every pride parade since the early 90’s. My mind was stuck in stereotypes. You both blew ;) that out of the water! I had to check myself. You both accomplished so much I was shocked and that’s on me for thinking 2 gays boys doing what!?! Where!?! No way! I’m with your mom! Just incredible. Not just living there but YOU GUYS BUILT THAT SHIT! Crazy!

[@kemlynb]

I've followed you guys for over a year. I'm glad you're not freezing in the dome this winter. You're not quitters for taking care of yourselves and your animals. Hang in there, I hope you get water soon!

[@Amani1611]

This comment to bring positive vibes I absolutely love you both and the fur babies obsessed with both your channels what I think is people who are leaving bad or negative comment no one is telling them they have to watch so just don't watch. They always told us that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. We absolutely love the T&T guys and the community ❤❤❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Wise words! Thanks so much ❤️

[@angelinajalbert3420]

I so enjoyed this podcast!! I laughed, I gasped, I got angry for you, I just wanted to pat your backs and say, “Never mind those naysayers, you are doing just fine!” I think the experience on the land has made you both much more resilient than all those silly people ever will be!! I just love you both! We live in rural northern Ontario. We live in a 100 year old farm house that was my great grandfather’s. That being said, there is constant maintenance. 5 years ago our water line froze in February and the only thing we could do is wait for it to thaw(beginning of May) let me tell you, it was inconvenient … but there was lots of snow outside to melt and then we would fill up totes with water. Our friends from town would say we were crazy and not sure how we could do it. My answer was always… I’d rather it be the water line, than not having electricity or heat, imagine that!! You get used to the things you just have to do on a farm. Keep up the awesome work you two, but do take time for yourselves ❤

[@suzannethwing5211]

You both are great teachers, not only of the challenges from taking up an off grid life style, but sharing the mental and emotional pressure that comes with learning as you go. You both are wise beyond your years, in taking an honest inventory of what you needed to do to get through the winter and get ready for the next stages of problem solving that are before you in completing the container house, besides discovering the quirks of the cabin. So glad that both your families are supportive, and sorry for the bs sent your way by immature rude nay sayers. Cheers to you both and sending wishes of smooth sailing in the months ahead..❤❤❤❤

[@sheilacharron5424]

I could listen to you two all day.. You are dreamers,planners When you have an idea " like Switzerland" your expressions are priceless.

[@SimplyNiquaa1]

I can honestly say I don't care where y'all are the land or lake house or rv I'm just here for y'all and the dogs because I just simply love your personalities y'all are hilarious. I don't understand why everyone is so mad about you not being on the land anymore, your technically still on land and can still do alot of those old projects on this land. Folks act like they don't move and start over it's not that serious to be this mad over too human beings just trying to live and make their lives stress-free

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

WTF! You two are giving us the incredible gift of allowing us to share in parts of your life, a wonderful, thoughtful gift! No one has any right to criticise anything you guys choose to do! Ffs, it’s your lives, do whatever makes you happy. If others don’t agree then they are totally free to do stuff themselves. Guys I absolutely love you both and am very grateful that you’re allowing me to watch parts of your lives! Again, have you thought of letting people stay in the dome, helping you out on the land, watching the garden ect ect!

[@graceskronicz9068]

I love all your videos I’m not exactly sure why people neeed to tear you down . You’re great and don’t let anyone change you. Keep being true to yourself

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

We so appreciate that, Grace!

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

I am glad you bought this beautiful cabin. It was a challenge, for me to see your situation out there in the middle of nowhere. It is impressive to watch you navigate the challenges that you shared with us. I do not recall Todd ever telling us about hugging a tree whilst shitting in the woods. Hugs. I do not do YT anymore because of the negativity in the comments. 30 mins in,,,,wow you had it rough and I barely noticed how ruff it really was. You shared some but dang, I am even happier you have this cabin. You will figure out all the stuff out. I am a Canadian living in Guatemala currently, with US residency. I do not like cold. I am a cripple and cold hurts me, I lived in Iowa for 9 yrs after 30 yr in las Vegas, 10 yrs Surrey, BC., and lots of places in between. Pivoting takes practice. I am still practicing 62yo.

[@joewright6455]

Don't listen to the haters.... They're not in your inner circle. You guys are great. I've been a fan from the RV days.

[@deirdre5279]

You do you. People get stuck in their own stuff. I’m enjoying the variety and adventures you guys are doing together whether it’s your off grid or new house on grid. I lived 30yrs in my home built in the 1930’s it had all kinds of quirks to it. But When I sold it I left a list of contractors I’ve used like oil company electric repair gutter repair landscaper etc. I left all the user manuals for the oil burner gas fireplace etc. I made a map showing where the gas line was coming from street I labeled the electric box so they knew what was what and explained what to do even with the hot tub and the repair guy I used for it. The buyers were elated by all the information provided. It’s a shame people don’t do this I even left food restaurant suggestions in area and I nice note wishing them a lifetime of love n happiness there. I even drew a map of what types of plants were planted. I had edible and medicinal plants. Blessings to you guys on your new home.

[@tristalynn547]

You are both beautiful souls! It's been incredible watching your life story. The twists and turns life has taken you both on and how each time life gets difficult, you both look for the best solution. It is truly an inspiration to see how much growth has taken place thru the years 😊 Also, your encouragement of taking care of our mental has had a huge impact on my life (BetterHelp for the win). Thank you for sharing your life with the world! 💛

[@lsabby]

Guys this is your life and shouldn’t apologize or feel like you’re letting people down. You get to decide what you want to do next. I personally could not do what you have been doing but it was interesting to watch. Soooo much work. I love that you are taking a break from the land. Enjoy your house and I hope you get all your plumbing problems resolved.

[@lauraquigley6403]

You guy’s are wonderful. I have watched you forever & will continue no matter what you do! Hope you get comfortable you both deserve running water, heat & toilets at the very least. ❤🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

So sweet, thanks Laura ❤️

[@joellemarchio5238]

Anyone that doesn’t live in the north and deal with winter really should come up when it’s -20 with windchills of -50 !!! They might quickly change their negative attitudes and be impressed with the two of you. These past few days in Minnesota- my dogs wouldn’t even go out. Finally it’s 5 degrees out and sunny and we thought it was a heat wave. Love watching you in my heated house with a warm blanket on and a cup of hot coffee☕️

[@Premchik]

I come from a very cold country, and THAT'S why I never could understand how on Earth could you live the way you did. I thought that probably men handle cold differently or that you are just generally very strong physically and mentally. (which is obviously true, even if you do not feel like this). And now that you have told this out loud - OMG, guys! I am so happy that you have more comfort here!

[@jengough5287]

20:00 - And if you wanted to give up, that is ok too. It's your life, your journey, your decisions! We are just along for the ride. You two are fabulous humans, so blessed to be able to follow you - where ever you end up!

[@sunkeeperarcturian4755]

Just love you guys. You just get better and better. You just the type of people I would be friends with. Except that I live in South Africa. Much love

[@davidperez58]

You two continue to be so wholesome, true, funny, open, so damn smart, humble, honest, etc. It’s so fun to watch the podcast via YT just to see Charlie on the couch and both your beautiful smiles.

What you are describing is resilience and flexibility. You have learned so many skills and are able to survive so many challenges. We all need to grow and you are modeling that.

[@pennywhitcroft1779]

Omg, you guys just be yourselves…..and you are right they must have some underlining problems themselves….😊❤️🇨🇦

I love watching this podcast and the other channel I've been following you to lovely gent's for a while I'm addicted to you 2 and we've really missed your Sunday vlogs it's educational and really interesting and much much more thank you so much for your channels

[@helenamolero]

How can 1 hour and 13 minutes go by so quick? You guys are amazing ❤️

[@jenniferwiernikowski5556]

My favourite problem solvers, positive energy spreaders, laughter inducers, and tangent builders. Sorry you’ve had such a crazy day guys. You continue to share such a healthy perspective, always learning from what happens. Tyler and Todd 4EVR ❤. Love all the content here and the videos too. I hope the water gets sorted. Don’t overthink the negative comments, they remind me of earwigs in the garden. They are under every rock, just drop the rock back where it was and look up…. The flowers are still thriving.

[@gillianjohnston9138]

You mentioned people not knowing who you are in future and I just had to share that while at Darcy and Jer show in Portland last weekend the 10 or so people I sat next to all shared how we found them. Mine was you guys, 5 of them all started following you guys after that conversation. I in turn started following 3 others on how they had found Darcy and Jer. It’s those organic in person experiences that will keep you relevant because some of us do look for genuine vs curated. Tangent of my own, my cat Clawd is in love with Squirell and my 6 year old asks every Sunday afternoon if it’s time to watch you guys.

[@maureencoyle666]

I take my hat off to you two…a change in lifestyle is NOT a failure!!! Please ignore the nay sayers!!!! You were off grid and apparently, enjoyed most of it for three years!!! What a fabulous adventure!! I’m very proud of what you have accomplidhed together…and putting yourselves out there!! You should be extremely proud of yourselves!!! Enjoy your time at this gorgeous cabin! 💚💚💚🙏🏻🌎☮️☘️

[@juliebarker9359]

Well you guys are great. I love listening to the random chat on a Wednesday it makes my week look so forward to it, if folk don't like it tough find something else to do. I have watched the highs and lows of you living on the land and I don't know how you did it honestly it would have broke most people. Sometimes you have to admit you can't do it anymore and you don't have to explain that to anyone. You take care love you guys loads. ❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Really means a lot to us, thanks so much Julie ❤️
