I am so glad I found this channel! We are doing a similar thing, for similar reasons but.. slower. We bought 40acres back home (for me) in Alaska and are building a homestead while still living in Hawaii. I wish I started documenting ours from day one!!! LOL

I saw the vid about snatch pulleys and got hooked. So... I will start with vid 1 and share your magickal journey.

I love after watching channels I find for awhile. Going back to see the beginnings to Video #1. Love watching yawl.

New Sub, great video and can't wait to see more. Thank you.

Really well done. Great story

Oh to be young again! What a great adventure we are all looking forward to. A wonderful family taking advantage of all there is in life to enjoy.

I am interested to watch your journey. That’s actually a really good introduction video.

Great start to the channel!

🎄💙🎄 LIKED, WATCHED, COMMENTED 🎄💙🎄

You guys are our new favorite reality show!

Congratulations! I know your adventure will be so very amazing for many to watch. I am looking forward to seeing each episode.

Right on guys congratulations cool outcome. I feel the same way I've been working for a long time and met alote of people but I'm tired of the subdivision life also you seem to have beautiful land 34acres is a good size 👍

Congratulations on your new homestead. My wife and I did something very similar 4 years ago and couldn't be happier. Only difference is our property had an old farm house on it that needed a total rehab. We spent months looking for a place while living at a campground, only to find our homestead a half a mile away. Moved our trailer to the property and lived in it while fixing up the house. It took 5 months (thru the winter) to finish and now we are just enjoying a simpler life. Keep moving forward to make your dreams reality and enjoy the time together with your family because in the end that is all that is matters.

I had to find the beginning of your adventure, as I have a similar experience years age,although you have bit off a lot more than I did.

So excited for you all!!

Meg, I am so very excited for you and your beautiful family! What a crazy, exciting adventure! I can't wait to follow along

Congratulations on your new homestead , looking forward to seeing you all grow the homestead to what you all want it to be. Me an my girlfriend moved up to Greeneville Tennessee in December of 21 to a quiet country neighborhood we love it her. We we in Ocala, Florida for 38 years .

Wish you All the Best. I live in the northern panhandle of West Virginia for all my 59 years, its all I've ever wanted. I hope you accomplish all your dreams you have some beautiful property, it looks very similar to our home state. I'm a newbie to your channel and I'm still catching up. Looking forward to your build.

Wow I'm so excited to watch your journey. We live in NJ, and all my husband talks is about getting land to have "projects", privacy and be outside. We want to leave all this congestión behind. We have also 2 daughters 8 & 12 and this is just such an inspiration. But we have no idea of how to search for land 😕. It's so scary in my head . But I really want to just do it. I will go thru all your videos and see what else we can learn and will share your chanel with him wishing you the best!

Beautiful piece of property.

Off on the adventure of a lifetime!

This is awesome! Good luck on your adventure. Those berries appear to be raspberries.

Your land is so beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. I'll be here waiting you all. Take care

Just stumbled upon your channel. Different circumstances, but we just bought our SW VA property (61 acres) 2 years ago, and intend to retire there in about 7 years. We were really just window shopping for land online, and came across one that already had a cabin on it -- we fell in love with it, and purchased it not too long before the pandemic shut things down. I just bought my first tractor, so will be learning on the fly as well. We're thinking of doing more videos of our projects, so just have a shell of a channel right now, but hope to add to it as we spend more time there. Best of luck on your adventure!

How exciting!! So proud of you!

I came here after watching a number of your later videos, thanks for the background. I have just bought ninety acres of bush in Tanzania because my Tanzanian wife wants to farm, I was born on a farm in England many years ago, the challenge is both daunting and exciting, exactly as your project is to you, what I like best about your videos is your determination to do as much as possible yourself and as you learn so do we.

I just heard all the news from your Mom... Meg.........What a neat video! Clara and Autumn are adorable. Jon....nice to meet you. I will stay tuned.......Wishing you lots of fun and excitement in this new adventure.

Okay, I’m in! I absolutely love the area you are in. A lot of folks are feeling the same things you did but, for any number of reasons, are not able to do what you are. You are young and healthy so with your thought process, this is the time! It’s not going to be easy…not at all….but it’s going to be so worth it!! Don’t turn back…things are going to get a lot worse where you came from, and you are in the place to survive that, if you do the important things first…and are prepared. Use social media like wild animals!! Print out and journal as much 18th and 19th century lifestyle stuff as you humanly can! You know what you need to survive and protect yourselves…get it done. You’re going to sleep great every night…exhausted and satisfied with what you’ve accomplished! You are in my prayers.

This is my dream! I’m looking forward to following your story, congrats Meg!

Congratulations!!

So happy for your family. Glad we found your channel. We have a similar adventure ahead of us. We will be homesteading 60 acres in Franklin North Carolina.

Nelda and I binged watched E1 to E24 last Saturday. I think we're up to E43 now. It's funny, sitting down to watch a little TV yesterday, we looked at each other and said, " I wonder what the kids are up to today?" It's official! you're family! Great job to you all...love the setting, love the work, love the production, love the realness.

Hi guys! How exciting! I will be watching!! Carolyn- montys pet sitter

I have watched all of your videos mostly because my wife and I relate to you two a lot and your genuine personalities, we are going to do this ,we have two daughters as well,4 and 6 ,the only thing I’m struggling with convincing my wife is the isolation and loneliness part even to me seems daunting. Have you guys considered sharing your property with another family ,perhaps someone in your family ,I think what you have done is incredible and awesome, I have always wanted like 30 to 50 acres and multiple similar aged kids and adults ,if it’s the right people I think it would check all boxes that are conducive to maximum human health ,i study human health and I have compiled through extensive decade long independent research a list of all components of health which is our only true wealth , our health destiny can be dramatically altered for Both good and bad,you guys are on the right path , good luck to you all

Welcome to southwest va

New sub here. Congrats on your journey and new life path. We understand the excitement and fear… We just purchased land and will start our build in Sept. Greg & Cindy

Welcome to, as we say Southwest Virginia, My home for over 70 years,

Congratulations you guys! Rich and I are super excited for you and hope all of you have an amazing adventure.

I just found your channel..enjoyed watching...then I see TN tag with sullivan county hey I know that area....THEN I see you guys are living in SWVA...just wonderful i live in SWVA too..welcome

We have wineberries on our property. You have probably found out that they are best when the color is blood red. If the color is lighter red they are sour. Are you processing the black walnuts? Once you crack into one you can use wire cutters to remove the inner shell parts.

I’m so excited for you ! I’ll be following ! Ot sure if you remember me but we met at Curves in MB years back ( Joan Sturgill)

Got here from a comment left on Justin’s Rhodes channel. New sub here-💖💖-Blessings🙏🏻💖

Just found your channel. Watching from the beginning. We are doing the same in east TN just outside of Johnson City. Good luck and looking forward too watching you grow!

We live in South East Ky. Only a few miles from the top of Black Mountain and the South Western border of Virginia. Probably not very far from you guys. Welcome to the mountains! We hear Owls on this side of the mountain also :)

My husband and I close on 55 acres next month. He’s a TN farm boy who has worked in South Louisiana for nearly 40 years. He’s always wanted to go home and after the experience of Covid, we said if not now, then when? So we will be joining you, RV living and all!! Here’s to the next phase!!

We bought land in southwest Virginia last spring (2021). Curious to know if you guys are close to Mouth of Wilson, VA. We actually live in NC but will build a house in VA when we retire. We have a camper on our land as well that we stay in on the weekends when we are there. Virginia is a beautiful state!

Excellent video and I subscribed. Do you have access to power on your property and was that a priority?. I have also decided on southwest Va. in my property search although I'm just a few years older than you guys. By a lot.

Nothing liked the country it's quite and peaceful.
