OFF GRID HOMESTEADING. A Year Of Adversity and Adventure In Our Quest For Self Sustainability.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this episode, we're sharing 12 months of our life - living off the grid in the New Hampshire woods.
Homesteading off the grid and on the mountain certainly has its challenges but there's no place we'd rather live. We restored the old camp and transformed it into a cozy home for ourselves, then we cleared more land, built a workshop and greenhouse and in spite of the challenges of living on ledge -we succeeded in creating an abundant garden. Little by little we're reaching our goals of having a self sufficient homestead.

They’re a wonderful couple. I’m 35, single, never married. I’m still waiting to meet my ‘Lorie.’ The Boss is a blessed man.
Awesome footage you guys. Hard work has really paid off.

I will echo that sentiment. The dedication and effort shown by both husband and wife is awe inspiring. No frills or bs, just getting things done according to their priorities. Much can be learnt from them.
Y'all have made very good progress 👍. I'm 69 and have been through cancer and heart surgery but my theory is that you have to keep going and never give up 💪👍🤣

Excellent video Boss, that’s something when you started the garden in all that soupy mud, and you and the Mrs turned it into a beautiful producing garden.

That was awesome nice to look back and remember and now to the future. You should do this more often, yes I know it's a lot of work, but😊. Question, did the beaver make it? You have a wonderful hard working sweet lady in Lori. Can't wait for the new homestead build. Hugs to Frankie & Tildy. Blessings to you & Lori. 😊🇱🇷

Hey boss!! As always a great video! I can tell you put a lot of heart and sole into this one! Damn I think this is longest one yet and I’m sure your subscribers agree…. With that being said, how many of you great people out there would love to see a Dutch oven or a home cooked meal video??!! I sure would!! Not because we love food or different recipes….. but just how the boss puts it all together! Who’s With me with a Dutch oven video or just a simple pot of beans over the fire?? Love ya boss and always will!!

People just cant understand a man who needs a project to be happy,this type of man takes pride in a job and doesn't know how to vacation. Keep on plugging away Boss,you know what makes you happy. That is one bountiful garden you had there! The compost looks excellent.
Uncle Boss, we love you! Mahalo for sharing your life with us. You're such an inspiration and blessing to us!
What an amazing year.
More couples like you are needed 👏🏾
Terrific video, Boss!
Great video!!
What a beautiful life you two have worked so very hard to create for yourselves! Cheers to your health & happiness! xo
