Do you plan on releasing a video of the experience?

The full homestead tour would be great.

Seconded!

Yes, PLEASE do a video on the entire homestead! 😊

My grandparents lived on a farm. During the US depression, they never lacked for food. They had a veg garden, chickens, turkeys, cows, pigs. They had all they needed. Once a month they would go to town for coffee and sugar. This was a normal lifestyle for that time. Most have forgotten and left that life behind. The ones who know, need to teach the younger generation those forgotten ways.

Ya, do that. A whole-homestead video would be a great adventure. I've homesteaded in North Texas for 12 years and I'm 75, but nobody's too old to learn. Bring it!

Please, please, please do a whole-homestead tour. And, please don't worry about the video length. I know I speak for the VAST majority of your subscribers, when I say, especially for a tour video, the longer the better.

When i was 10 yearsin 1974 old we went to Zeeland(Netherlands)on a holiday. And every day my dead and i went to the neighbour dairy farm bying fresh raw cowmilk. After cooling off, there was big layer of cream. and me and my little sister scooped(read stole) it off with a spoon. That was heaven.

To see a video of the layout of your homestead would be AWESOME! Giving ideas on what works and then how it's done. I remember the video of you all building the root cellar a while back ( like 2 yrs or so)! AWESOME! P.S. GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK HOME!

Dito what crau56 said!

When we were little we would sit with the barn cats waiting for my mom to spray the milk in our mouths 🤣

I appreciate the fact that you can see what's coming to our Canada. So many will be shocked and in trouble during this transition. I've been through so much, and I'm too old to panic, so I've done a great deal of preparing. The hard part is watching all the innocent suffer while they tighten the screws. I feel it's very important for you to share detailed exposure to your independent life/journey so others can learn. Condensing the critical structure will be a blessing to those who may not have the time or smarts to watch all of your posts. I admit, it's been a pleasurable learning experience as well as entertaining, taking the time to look back at your content. Many envy your choice of lifestyle, and you should be proud to continue to share, teach, and be a bit goofy about it!

Happy Mother's Day Beautiful Rose And All The Mothers 💐🌹🌸🌺🌾💮🌼🌻❤🙏🏻

I lived that life my entire early years we didn't have much but we didn't go hungry. Two parents ten kids. big, big garden, a dozen head of cattle for milk and meat. A couple of pigs, hens for eggs and meat, ducks, geese. and a lot of work. It was a simple life but it worked.

You may want to grow goose neck squash to chop up for your milk cow. She will give milk like you’ve never seen. Just chop it up and add it to the treat you give during milk. Be careful, they get addicted….lol!!!

I’ve been loving your off grid adventures over the last few months, but it is so good to see you guys at home as well. ❤️❤️ I just love all your channel puts out.

A definite yes for the homestead tour video. And thanks for making my Saturday that much better

A tour of the homestead would be great.

Man, I love where you live!👍😍

Many words of wisdom that make sense! I’ve followed your channel for quite awhile: watching your kids grow!! Glad your back from down south: safe and healthy👍 The importance you say about Milk: is so accurate. Most of bigger cities don’t drink much milk. Having your own milk producer= survival of small health scare pops up etc.

Been watching you for years, so I know quite a bit about how it works, but you keep changing and improving, so hell yes I’d like to see an in depth series on how you’re set up

Yes, I like the idea of a complete walk around...

If you have been watching Jeff and Rose for years you know what their homestead looks like. I'm happy to see a glimpse of your life, thanks Jeff, Rose and family.

So glad to see you all home Thank God he protected you in Mexico We all enjoy watching you and your girls do so well in your Canadian Paradise with all your adventures right there

Make it soon please for the full homestead video. Glad you made it home safely. I'm sure Dave missed you all.

Glad you guys had a great trip and made it home safely. Would love to see a grand tour of the homestead.

I agree with your point of having enough versus bang prepared for Armagedón. Good advice. A wise man once told me you don't need much money if you don't spend much money.

I would love to see a walkaround of your homestead so I can get a holistic view of your place.

I'm in south west france. We've a small dairy farm on the corner of the long rural road we're on. Raw milk as we need or want. Liquid gold - milk is a whole food. We help ourselves and leave a coin on the table. I've read 90% of all cheese in france is raw milk, so raw for us is totally normal and healthy. BTW, our farmers are moving to fast growing crops since the weather is not hotter but actually cooler, summer is shorter. I think they've switched to clover for one of their summer crops - they plant three a year. Loving how beautiful your spring is, my favourite time of the year! 100 % do the full video you suggested.

Good video. Like the addition of the cow. Homestead tour would be interesting.

That’s how we grew up in Southern Indiana!!! We had almost everything we needed in our cellar or gardens. We grew our hay, our corn and squash for the cattle. My dad was amazing.

A video of the whole enterprise as you’ve suggested, would be really meaningful, as it would portray everything from A- Z with perhaps a time line of achievements

Well I will just say this I am so glad you guys are back up in the north love you guys

I would LOVE to see each part of your homestead and how it functions.

a homestead tour would be great

a tour of the operation, that would Kewl, with a capital K!

It was my understanding that the nomadic herdsmen, like the Masai, harvested blood in the same way as the milk of their animals, and consumed both fluid foods in their peripatetic way. Brilliant system when it is so hot and there is no way of storing nutrition better than using the animal to do so. Jeff's thought of showing the homestead system would get my vote, and a sort of day-in-the-life where you show your daily tasks and chores also.

Extraordinary video and great to see your Homestead highlighted again. ahhh, they were so young in the Africa adventure photos!

I know eh!? We dug up those photos and fell down the old-photo rabbit hole for a while:)

It's always fun to see our favourite family doing their thing. Cheers folks.!

I get a kick out of the whole "prepper" mentality and how many of them act like this is the latest greatest way to deal with the current set of issues facing us. And they balk at the idea that being prepared is a term coined almost 200 yrs ago. They want to argue with me about it! And I just shake my head and say: "You were never a boy scout or a girl scout, were you? " The answer is "no". So, of course, they never knew the scout motto. And that motto is "Be Prepared".

So thoughtful and it’s real lesson , much needed in our life. ❤

Yes, we'd love a tour!

Hi All, im glad your Home safely and your Trip was all you had hoped-for 👍. She is a very Pretty Brindle Cow😍. Sure a refresh on the Property woukd be good. Did you ever have interns in your little House ? JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲 💞

Yes, please make a video about all of your homestead & the importance of each component & how it all works together, would love to see it! 👍

Awesome video, good to be back home? That would be a great video series. Thanks from Queensland Australia.

It's funny. We were raised milking cows and not once did we ever wash the udder. Maybe that's why we never get sick now. I'm now 50 and sure do miss having a milk cow.

I would love to see about the root cellar for sure! The whole homestead would be awesome!

Great to know you have been to my country Kenya. Maasai culture has created enough curiosity all over the world which has helped to market Kenya as a destination. Considering where humans are as a civilisation, I hold a view that this tribe's ignorance is commodified and exploited with little returns and impact on their education and health. I hope you learned that they still practice female genital mutilation and under age marriage of girls. I hope you had time to visit other parts of our country. I am Adam also but not a Maasai. Welcome again.

GREEN Grass and High TIDES for EVER !!

That's some real wisdom right there

Love watching all your videos, so a homestead tour would be great!

Would love to see a whole tour Hope youre friend from Africa got to see it you said hi

Everyone needs to learn how to save heirloom seeds! It's a lost art and there's more to it than one would think.

Saludos estoy muy contento 😃 por la bendición kllego a tu familia bendiciones a la persona de África cuidense mucho 🤠

Yes, looking forward to the homestead tour video! What crops do you grow? What size is your garden? Do you grow all your vegetables yourself? What methods for storing vegetables do you use? I'm planning to try growing my own vegetables (on about 40 m2). Probably you can teach me something!

Yes please show us your homestead setup. 👍👍

Yes show us how you live so we can too! Anything that can help us up and coming off Grider's! Like how much solar do you need to keep your freezers working all year?

Sounds like you figured out what Jack Spirko of The Survival Podcast has been espousing for the last 15 years. If your prepared for the most likely things in life, a bad storm or a loss of income you are prepared for the bigger stuff.

Dexters are my favourite cows!

Do the tell all video on the homestead. Should be interesting. Take care, jack

I remember the video's of building the root cellar. What an engineering marvel. IMHO

You got a MILKER ! Seen That !! 👍💯

What a beautiful life ❤

Love this video! I grew up with having to milk cows every morning! We made whipping cream, butter, buttermilk and such! It all tasted sooo good! It was theee best butter! We actually had to put whipping cream into a large jar and then shake it back and forth till it became butter. Hard work, but soo rewarding! And yes, please do a video on your homestead!❤

Thank you for the continued motivation and inspiration❤

Glad to see you guys home safe but time to get the garden planted and do some bear hunting! The govt hates you, that's why we love you!!! Keep it up 😁

I’m glad you guys made it home, it was probably a trip of a lifetime but I enjoy your videos at home better 👍

Alot of work but best way to live . it's how were suppose to do it yes it would be kewl

Up until last year, I made all of my own butter from raw milk for years and years. I still have quite a few bars in my freezer to use up. SR

Yes, that would be cool!

Tour? Yes please.

Que bonito es ser de racho y tener animales y sobrevivir de ellos saludos atada la familia y ay tamos al trillón

More Video's Please as I was starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms from the lack of Gridlessness since the last Video that You posted.

YES, do the vid. Include explanations of what you use (like, was that cheesecloth in the closing shot?) and why, what works and what doesnt. Pls.

but for those who never had it before, milk straight out of cow, still warm, taste like 3, 4 times as good compared to pasteurized milk out the shop.

Would love to see video of the whole homestead.

You cats are awesome thank you for sharing

We have been talking about getting a milk cow too but we need fencing first. We also like your channel. Great to see homeschoolers thriving and doing things while learning.

Electric fencing. Portable, cost effective, can change the pasture in 5 minutes with practice. I did it. Greatest thing since sliced bread.

Yeah that would be cool seeing all the components that I've watched you make one bye one come together to make what u got now

That's good eatin.

God will provide, you should definitely do a video if you guys end up making butter.

Yes on the homestead Video 📸

Awesome to have another vid to watch. Keep posting more please.

So basically the Maaasai do like we did growing up on the farm!

Familia lovers

The whole homestead story and workings woyld be awesome. Defo an interesting video. Milk looks so frothy and so fresh. Yum. Im heading to America from Ireland in a week or so .....to PA where my wife is from , then im driving us to Ohio and Amish land and dood again. Loved it last yr. Then bk to PA and then im driving down to SC 😁....gota get used to drivbg on the other side of the rd again. Great video guys.

Your video idea sounds cool!

Just a little difference in technique. We used to clamp the pail between our knees and do the two front teats first and then the back two. I noticed your cow has two more vestigal teats as well

Enjoyed your travels, but glad ye're all back home safe. Good to see the root cellar's still standing! 🤣 All those Naysayers who said, you done it wrong. 🙄🤣 Aye, dairy isn't straightforward these days...

Full video tour please!

I see some cheese videos coming up. I mean after you've tired of all the ice cream.

Thanks for the video and your work!

Great idea.

Cool video guys thank you

Another great video Jeff. The milk bucket cam may be a KZread first, cool shot. If the calf is to be raised for the freezer, don't make it a pet and don't name it. It is very hard to butcher a friend. We raised one (Homer) but when it was time, we had to trade him for one that was already butchered. Also, I'm sorry but the picture of you with the Africans reminded me of Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura, When Nature Calls. Lol, glad you are all home safe and sound.

@@Gridlessness I always liked the SCTV guys too. John Candy, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, all very funny Canadians. We had a guy on PBS here in Wisconsin named Red Green that was hilarious but I think he was a Yooper. (Upper Michigan) Which is very close to Canada.

Jeff your such a great storyteller and make everything interesting. The experience and knowledge you and your family bring to bare is so enjoyable. Thanks so very much for sharing. God Bless !

YES PLEASE ☀️

How about a daily routine video, a day in the life… ? I’d like to see that.. even just follow Rose around for a day would be fun.

Recuerdo las tasas se ven geniales

Dexters great choice ..dairy ..meat ..even train able as draft animals

I would like to see a video series of the ranch and how you have everything working. How did you decide to be where you are? Was Dave there first? Did he buy land from you? How did the girls fare when they were younger? Ie. Friends socializing? Just a curious viewer.
