At the very beginning of this video, I knew Jeremy would be fine in any conditions while wearing that mac-daddy mountaineer jacket.

My wife and I are in our 60s, we lovingly refer to you as the kids. When you put out a new video we simply say the kids have a new video and we set a time to join you on that journey. We are very thankful for you allowing us into your lives. Yes the kids grow so fast. Being our soul income for many years I missed out on so much so please enjoy them while you can,we can see that you have built a great family structure with them. We love you all. Happy new year!

There are so many bedridden, parentless people who are grateful for all the wholesome videos that you provide. Thank you for this.

Your kids haven't been sidelined, believe me. They are so full of adventure and you have given them an atmosphere where they can see how dreams can come true, team work makes the dream work, and many other valuable lessons without even trying to. If you have inspired so many followers, how much of an impact have you had on your little ones who know that you are working so hard to give them a forever home? I love watching your kids enjoy their lives. Some people take their kids fishing and hiking because they want to give them a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. I'm sure most parents would love to be able to give their kids a piece of land like you have. I think you are amazing parents. God bless you and your plans for 2023.

Only real men can wear a buffalo coat and you wear it well. You got a lot done this year and I am glad that you took us along for the ride.😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

I’m so surprised you don’t have over a million subscribers, come on people, if you haven’t hit the subscribe and all button get it done!! 🎉Happy blessed 🙏🏻New Year to you All 🎇

It’s been a blessing for all of us subscribers to be able to join you and watch your family grow into the wonderful people you all are, happy new year from the U.K. 🇬🇧

That coat is made for sub-zero conditions..lol Ya'll are like the fine wine, getting better with age, every year better than the past. I love hearing about your future builds and wants, knowing you will go through with them. The idea of separate living quarters, yet not, for the older kids is a grand idea, they definitely seem mature enough to try it anyways. Love ya'll ❤️, Happy New Year ❤️

I am remembering your build and there was one day that Kaimani was helping taking the protective covering off the windows and Jeremy helped him off the ladder and Kaimani slumped into dad's arms. I don't know if you knew that would be the last time for dad holding his boy like that. I remember thinking how bittersweet that moment was and it touched me. He has grown so much this year that yeah that was probably the last time. Now is the time for other kinds of memories to be made. For me the most cherished dad memories were hunting, fishing, working on house projects and doing mechanics, it really is when one door closes another opens. I am looking forward to seeing you making those kinds of memories with your kids.

Thank you all for always being you and being here for us to enjoy your journey! Looking forward to the new list to begin! HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

Many thanks to you all for allowing us all to watch your exciting journey this year, and i'm so loooking forward to seeing more in 2023. Wishing you all the happiest New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, SOUZA FAMILY!! Sounds like 2023 is going to be a busy year, too, albeit not in quite the same way as years past. My wishes for you all is a blessed, safe, and productive 2023! As always, much love to you all!! ❤️

Where I live in Minnesota it's common to have actual Temps of negative 35. I always waited as long as possible to put winter coats on my horses. The most important thing was to provide them with shelter out of the wind, give them lots of hay, cut back or eliminate grain and make sure they have access to heated water.

I wish I had put my work on the back burner more often when my children were young. Your children are very lucky to have such amazing parents. You have both worked so hard the last few years…time to have a little fun! Happy New Year!🎉

I want to thank YOU for allowing us to tag along on your very inspiring journey! You have blessed me in so many ways. You have made me laugh (Jeremy and his buffalo coat!😂), you have made me cheer on your progress, especially in the face of obstacles, and you’ve made me cry - usually tears of happiness and joy at the love you show your family, and the generosity you share with your community! Happy New Year! May it bless you!

Happy New Year to your beautiful family and all the animals! 🎉 It’s only been three years and you’ve built an amazing homestead while sharing with all of us. Wishing you the best in 2023 🎉 Blessings and much Aloha from Oregon 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🐾🐾🤙

You guys are lovely, always. This video has me chuckling......Melissa explains things with her non-wine glass hand, whereas I'm watching Jeremy's wine 🍷 slop around, almost jumping out as he expresses himself!! 🤣😂

It's hard for me to believe that have followed your channel all these years, and I have watched every post you have put out. You have come far pilgrims and should be very proud of what you all have accomplished in such a short time. Stay warm, and safe through this crazy cold weather.

Your “thank you’s” go both ways. It has been such a pleasure to watch you on your journey and your on-line family is so grateful for your hard work, generosity to others and especially your strong family ethics. God bless you all and can’t wait to start seeing those items being checked off the list. Happy New Year!

I am thankful for the opportunity to watch your life and be inspired. It all started when I saw a video about Jeremy leaving law enforcement. Now you are one of my favorite family channels to watch! As you work on more projects with the kids, you are teaching them and building memories that they will never forget. When parents teach their kids a good work ethic they are preparing them to be responsible adults. We wish you all a Blessed New Year!

Happy new year. I appreciate you guys as a family I appreciate your service to the community. I like how you guys keep it real. You keep politics out of your videos. You guys involve the kids when you can. You actually work and get things done, unlike some other KZfaq creators they talk about getting things done and make a lot of excuses why they didn’t get anything done. And in real life if you want a drink you have it and you don’t have to hide it. Stay safe. Thanks 👍🏾🙏🏾🍺🎣😷🇺🇸

I first came across your YT channel when I was looking for a tutorial on rabbit processing. You were still in Washington. It's been a heck of a journey, but your efforts have all paid off. AND....It's been fun to tag along and watch. Congrats!

Congratulations on all you’ve achieved thus far, it’s very incredible to see from the onset of buying the property to now having completed your home. Watching your channel far exceeds anything on commercial television so keep on going. Cheers from Australia where it’s around 100F 🤠👍🇦🇺

They grow so fast. Glad to hear you are going to devote time to involving the kids.

Thank you all for bringing us a long on your journey. It has been wonderful. I dream about when I can get out on my little piece of heaven. Thank you all and I am so glad that I found your all's channel

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING US ON YOUR FAMILY JOURNEYS! Love your YT channel.

Jeremy,I remember the day you put your uniform and gear on for your final fay as a cop. I was scared for you guys too; but so amazed and proud of the support you gave each other. I hope you are exceedingly proud of your work and your families input. It warms my heart! Keep on keeping on!

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey! I have great respect for all of you. You are wonderful parents and just good people all the way around. I am looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings your family. Cheers to 2023!! Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year!

I've learned so much watching your story unfold. Hold on to these years with your children. Build those memories.

We built our own property 26 years ago and theirs still little jobs that need to be done or replaced now..we love that your on yt as been with you from the beginning..we have loved watching children grow into what they have become..beautiful...and your house is gorgeous...here's wishing you all great success and happiness in the new year....xx

Your channel has been such a Godsend/Blessing to me…no tv…along with the isolation of the pandemic…has been my GoTo entertainment, feels like you are extended family…have loved watching the progress you’ve made, sharing the up/downs, your kids’ growth, all the challenges, accomplishments you’ve shared w/all of us…Thank you for taking us along on your adventure!! Looking forward to seeing what 2023 has in C store for all of us! Abundant Blessings, joy, growth… for you in the New Year🎉🎈🥳💜🤗🙏🏻🍾💥

Thank you for being great people. You both set great examples for your children. Best wishes for the new year from The McHenry Family.

What an amazing, magical journey you All have been on! You both have created a Homestead to be so proud of! The kids are learning so much about commitment and perseverance and that with hard work, dreams do come true! Happy New Year and cannot wait for the next chapter!

Thanks for letting us come along virtually!!! Happy New Year One and All!!

Can’t wait to see everything you all do in the coming year. You all have become one of my absolute favorite channels to watch!

Thank you all for making us feel appreciated. A beautiful video!

Melissa you guys are a loving caring family who has touched so many lives during your journey and have made many lives better and gave hope to those who needed it. Everytime I watch your videos I get inspired and this year I want to finally take that step to improve and secure the future for my son and myself. That scary feeling of the unknown tends to hold me back but I know that if I don't take that first step then all it will be is a dream. I want to make it a REALITY. Somehow you give me strength and I have learned so much from watching you build your dream. Hopefully I can share mine with you. Thank you so much for everything that you do.❤️🥰

So glad I found you guys! I absolutely love watching your channel. I love that you are so family focused and that your kids are such kind, caring kids. Memories are all that any of us can carry with us wherever we go so make many of them! The kids and you will never forget or regret them. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Love you all and I wish a Happy New Year with many blessings in 2023.!

Happy New Year to you, too! I am so thankful for all the homesteaders I watch (I've said many times, there are four that are my favorites and that I never miss -- yours' included) and how each of you and your families bring me such joy... and hope.

Looking forward to the new year with everything you all have planned and letting us come along in the journey. You are such amazing family, I can truly see why you all are becoming the number one channel people are watching and seeing how much this channel has grown over the course of the two years I been watching is truly amazing.

Thanks for sitting down and answering the question on everyone's mind : what's next! Love all the ideas you have and it will be fun watching you achieve your goals. Yes for the kid's getting involved. It will be a skill for their future, even if they choose other paths in life, they will be able to fix things. I look forward to every Saturday morning to see what this week has brought, kinda like having coffee with family. Hope you all enjoy bringing in the new year tonight and have a happy, healthy 2023!

Happy New Year to you all. You’re all so inspiring. You remind me so much of my husband and I when we were your age. So ambitious and full of dreams. Now we’re about to downsize from 50 acres to a suburban lot. Hoping to sell our farm in northern Illinois at the Wisconsin border and retire in Florida’s sunny state. So at 66 and husband at 76 we’ll be starting a new home build again. It’ll be our 3rd home build. So much to do.

This has been a great year and I am honored to spend it with your family. Can’t wait to see what next year brings.

Happy new year from our family to yours 🎉. A huge thank you to your family sharing in this journey you are on. For us, it’s been so much fun watching and seeing what you’ve been challenged throughout this build. Thank you for being vulnerable, thank you for seeing the needs in your community and acting upon it. I’m excited to see what 2023 brings to your family. 🎉

Thank you all so much for being so loving and really love this situation for everyone..................U all are so amazing..............thank you for everything.............

Yesterday, my boys were 3 and 8 years old. Today? 30 and 35. It happened in the blink of an eye. I love being able to watch your children grow. The next horses that find you might just love a barn! Happy New Year!

First, I just want to say that I'm so glad I found your channel. You guys are so inspirational, the way you raise your family , your values and all the hard work that you do. Job well done and as always, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Happy New Year to all of you. Sending good health, happiness and all the love your way. 🤍✨❄️ Much love from Vermont.

It have been an absolute pleasure following y'all! You guys are by far my favorite you tubers. I'm looking forward to next year. More changes coming. Hope you guys stay warm and have a Happy New Year! As always thanks for taking us along for the ride! ♥️

You are a joy to follow as you move thru your new life skills and have built not only a home but are raising up warm loving children, that seem content without all the useless stuff that kids have. You brought us along with you thru the pandemic and continua enjoy watch your family flourish🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️

You guys are the best! Thank you for letting us come along!💕☺🐴🐑🐈🐓🐕🐇

Oh it's been an absolute pleasure following you and your family these past few years and so looking forward to seeing your journey this next year! Loved this video! It's simple but very personal and hearing your discussions about upcoming projects! I will never forget when you were offered a television show. I honestly think you made the right choice! You and your family are such a blessing and an inspiration to us all! Happy New Year!!! Looking forward to 2023!!!

Happy & Blessed New Year to all of us ... We had our Arctic blast last week in Michigan. Cold,cold,cold and the wind was brutal. Thank God we had plenty of warning to prep ahead for livestock,much like you have done in Idaho. I have enjoyed watching your channel from the start. Keep up the good work!⚘️

Hope you all have an amazing new year, thank you so much for all the entertaining videos, looking forward to more next year 🐰🐰🐰

Only discovered you a few months ago, but watching two and a half years of your videos has been an awesome journey. What I have most enjoyed is finding not just you amazing people, but feeling like I'm a small part of an awesome community. I havn't felt that in a very long time and I can't thank you enough for giving us all a place where we can do some pretty amazing things. Have a very Happy New Year!

I'm looking forward to 2023 with y'all. I feel as though I can have a "memory" reboot of my own childhood just following along with you folks. I love this channel and all that you share with us. Time really is a moving thing and it waits for nobody. We must all use it wisely. God bless y'all and Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! 🎉 May God continue to Bless your family. ♥️ Thank you for allowing us to follow along on your journey, to laugh, smile and sometimes she’d a few tears with you. You have been amazing KZfaq friends. Can’t wait to see what next year brings. 😊

Hey, it's been life changing for me, too! Following you guys has been not only entertaining but also illuminating in so many ways. Thank you all for letting us into your world. Great stuff, personally and materially. I'm looking forward to more next year! What will you do with the barn, will you demolish the apartment you built? Well, Happy New Years to all!! Much love! G! 💖

Glad you've managed to sort the animals for the harsh conditions, I hope it worked. May all your wishes for 2023 come true.

Love you guys!! Looking forward to 2023. Happy New Year and good Blessings for 2023!!

I have loved being on your journey with you all since the beginning! Thank you for sharing, and the positive encouragement and love you have for everyone is amazing 🥰Hope you all have a happy and blessed New Year!!

Great end of year video. Snowing - taking care of the animals. Short chat reflecting on this year - and looking forward to things coming in 2023. Bless you guys. Stay warm. Happy New Year! ❤

So by now the very low temperatures will be with you, I hope you are all snug and warm, and your animals are all well. Thanks for the chat, it seems like a lot of projects are planned for next year. A very Happy New Year to you all, and knowing you two, you will bring happiness to others. Love from Mike. ❤

Thank you for letting us share in your journey. You are one of my favourite KZfaqrs. I have laughed so much with the antics Melissa and Jeremy have gotten up to . I wish you both and your family a happy healthy prosperous new year… lots of love Sue from Ireland xxxxxx

I love you both and the journey you have embarked on.. your kids have grown so much in the last year... thanks for letting us come along for the ride !! Happy New Year to you both from Sydney Australia and hoping you all have a safe, enjoyable and prosperous 2023...Greg 🥰🥰

I love how you do the animals hay and not shavings for hamsters. You truly love your animals. I know it's cold and getting colder but you guys get snow, here in Oklahoma we get rain 🌧️ freeze 🥶 then snow ❄️ then more freezing rain 🌧️. Very dangerous

It has been amazing watching your journey up to this point! It's hard to believe how the years have passed! Looking forward to your 2023 projects, but chuckle when you talk about getting the house complete! After 30+ years, we realize that a house is never done 😉. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments! Happy New Year! 😀

You have been one of the joys for this tough year. I am so grateful to God for you and the hope for our future plans. May God continually renew you and fill your lives with the blessings. Happy New Year. God bless you and yours, The Akowa Clan

You have lovely children. I love the way you include them, talk about them, and take time out for them. They are so blessed.

Happy New Year to you all..we were refurbishing our house this year and we love it..although we are in our mid 60s..love doing things ourselves..which we did..you have worked so hard this year and it shows..well done..

Morning Jeremy & Melissa 🤗 the cold snap was brutal over Christmas 🥶 so happy you're in your home & building memories with the kids 💖 thank you for taking us along for your journey - has been a blessing 😉 take care & Happy New Year 🥳🙏

I think your plans and wishes for 2023 make a lot of sense. As for the low priority pond, talk to Aquascape for what they call a recreation pond. They have collaborated with many KZfaq channels and sometimes do group builds like they did for Kamp Kenan and Dr. Pol. Who knows what might be possible. You do a lot for other people. Maybe something can be done for you and your family. Happy New Year and a blessed 2023!

We love your channel and all the good you do to show love and kindness to others! Your stories from this past Christmas made me cry😢because of the kindness and thoughtfulness you’ve shown to others! Many more blessings to you in this new year! P.s. we would love to meet your family someday in person or visit the beautiful state of Idaho! God bless you all!

Happy New Year to you guys and family. It has been a wonderful year and many accomplishments and setbacks that only made you all stronger using the setbacks as learning tools to get better. You are excellent parents and care takers for your animals. Glad that you are finally in the house. Stay Warm and increased blessings in the coming year.

Glad to know that you guys will continue to entertain us with all of your fun projects. May the new year bring you peace, happiness, unity and among all Health.

We can't thank you enough for taking us along with you on this family journey. You have not just entertained us, but inspired me to take on my dream of building my forever home. Stay warm!

I'm glad you're able to focus more attention onto the kids but I'm sure they're very happy to have a home & learning to make sacrifices is itself a great life lesson you're teaching them too. I hope you have a very Happy New Year!

Your welcome and also thank you for the very nice content you create and letting us join on your journey. Your good people and deserve all the best. Kind regards, Love & Light from Belgium ;-)

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Happy New Year! It seemed like Eli just turned 7 yesterday. Time sure flies. My kids went from babies to adults overnight it seems. You are wise to spend all the time you can with them.

Happy New Year to you all & thanks for sharing your lives with us all. I love your projects but love more the times you go places as a family.

Wishing you all the very best and blessings for the new year! Thank you for sharing your lives with us, we are blessed by you every time you post…it’s beautiful. Sending huge hugs from St. Albert, Alberta 🇨🇦 ❤

Thank you guys for being my 5pm Saturday chill Happy new year All the love from SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 ❤️

Y'all are such an amazing family! I pray God blessed you in every new project and endeavor you take on. Happy New Year!!! 🙏🙏

Just the most sincere thank you for allowing us to live our lives along watching yours. I love the important lifestyle you are teaching your lovely children, and how you take the time in the middle of big projects to stop and do family things together. I wish I could do my life and raising our children with more family time.! Keep it up, you can already see how your children are turning out to think of others, not judging anyone and yet forming a loving and tightly knit family in itself.

This a great list to look forward to. The Pond would do if you put an aerator to keep it from freezing for the ducks and predators always looking for a meal. Happy New Year for all the good things that are coming our way.

Please don’t feel guilty about time with your kids. Your bambinos have access to you 24/7. They are seeing you problem solve, creating something form nothing all while loving each other and them❤️✨

Best wishes for 2023 from the Netherlands. I am very happy with what you all do, setting up something small that becomes big. especially for kids who were having a hard time, thank you angels.

Well done, guys! Your kindness and servant posture come through loud and clear! We all would benefit if we followed your lead. Cheers to 2023!

We lost one of our calves during the cold snap. Although he managed to deal with the two coldest night, so that was kind of unexpected. Having a stocked pond would be awesome. The pond will freeze even if it’s deep. Blue Lake is 50 feet deep and freezes pretty hard if we aren’t running aerators. So don’t be too afraid of depth in regards to ice skating. Look forward to following the rest of your projects.

Happy New Year, Souza Family!! I have loved watching your process every step of the way and appreciated watching the progress and the children growing up as we too are in the middle of making our North Idaho dream come to fruition with our married children and their children being part of it.

It’s been a pleasure to see all the changes in your lives. Challenges & obstacles. And just made it happen. To a wonderful couple awesome parents. Happy new year and a prosperous 2023.

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. I pray 2023 is kind to us all in our works and in our fun times. May we all be able to provide for ourselves, family, neighbors and those in need. God Bless.

Hi y’all! I am so glad to hear that you’re planning on upgrading quarters for your animals. It really gets too cold for them in your rough winters. The project of building your dream home was so fun to watch. I wish y’all God’s abundant blessings and grace in the coming year ❤️🙏🏼

It's been a good year and you guys persevered through it all. The home your in was no easy feat, but your guys kept going and then the drive, truly amazing. It's been a blessed year for me to watch your video such a loving and giving family... Happy New Year 2023🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing your kids involved and learning by your side. Years of watching my dad with his carpentry, electrical & building skills has left my family blessed with memories and a trade to support their families. Kudos to you and many blessings !

It’s been wonderful following your family’s projects and blessings for 3 years now. Always great family content and y’all inspire good things from so many. Gods Blessings for 2023 and beyond!!

Wishing all you guys a Happy New Year's. And thank-you for everything you have done and are doing for all those in need. 💓☮️🌄

Glad you're inside a warm home thank you for letting us tag along for it all. I can't wait to see more homestead adventures to inspire me! I want a greenhouse...and have a small plastic one for starters...but love gardening....can't wait to see you guys do videos on that kind of thing :) God bless this year!

I honestly don't know what I would do without being able to settle down, and come along with you gorgeous people on a weekly basis - and take those moments to truly stop...be still... and bask in the wholesomeness, love, industry, and sheer sanity of your world, when the rest of the world out there has me cowering in avalanches of bad news, disasters, crime, and hatred. Truly you keep me sane, Jeremy & Melissa!.. you give me hope.. you give me the ability to believe there IS a good world still out there, and that if I can only take a deep breath and go outside and trust, I too can find pockets of serenity, and success in navigating what has kept me cowering behind my job up until now, and in bunkering down inside, since I stopped working 6 months ago. You say to us that we cannot imagine how much you love and appreciate us for being on this journey with you - but in truth we are the blessed ones and I reckon there's not a single person among us - your subscribers, who doesn't wholeheartely adore you for being such lovely lovely people and for sharing your lives with us in this intimate and so incredibly warm and inviting a way.. May God, Destiny, Karma and the universe continue to bring you wonderful blessings, health, excitement, imagination and joy in the coming year, and above all, be safe, be warm, and know that we will ALWAYS be there if you need us.. just say the word.. 💓💓💓💓💓💓

The love and concern you show your animals, is heartwarming. God Bless in 2023.

From moving out of the RV..to the tiny home…to the big house build…the washing machine, the toilet. Sincere thanks on allowing us to follow your journey. Be well and the Happiest of New Years. 🇨🇦😊
