Kyle you touched my heart hearing the way you talk about Shannon ❤️. Together you can accomplish anything. Love watching you both.

As long as you kids are happy then the viewers should be happy. Look forward to more videos more often.

Take the leap while you're young, life goes quick! I'll enjoy watching you two finding what brings you joy 😊

Don’t feel bad about being afraid of the wasps! I remember giggling at Chad when he would do some kind of weird dance when he would walk into a spider web!! And he would yell “Ninja!” 😂😂😂 I love watching y’all through this journey! I know your parents are proud of you!♥️

❤❤❤❤remembering it's the journey, not the destination. So excited for you both. YOU GOT THIS. Can't wait to see what comes next. So putting yourselves first, it will be the best decision you ever made. So proud of you both.😊😊😊😊Take care, Sandy in Central Texas🌻🌻🌻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

You've got to learn to laugh at the hard times so you can appreciate the good times even more. I think what you two are doing is very brave and I am proud of you for taking the steps to make your life better. God bless 🙏❤

I am so happy for you both. I remember being the deputy clerk for the city I lived in. I worked there so long because I couldn't make the same wage/benefits level anywhere else. I had to get so tired/stressed before I really realized how detrimental that was. I quit, determined to find a way to make it work, it was easier than I thought it would be. Don't look back! You will both be fine.

You guys are Very Special!! I'm So Excited to watch you grow as Homesteaders and learning about life!! God Bless and have a Wonderful Weekend!! 😀💕⚘

Love the name thorn hill!! Love your honesty. Your both very smart and you both know there’s ups and downs and with God you’ll over come. I’m very happy for your new journey and you’ll figure out with your faith and together where this is leading you. And YES keep posting!!

I'm one of those older people that have "been there, done that", and I do love to watch a young couple start out and work their backsides off doing what they love!

Congratulations! I left my job with Sprint after 24 years. It was wonderful. Went to work for an animal shelter which I totally loved. Way to go kids!

I love watching young folks like y'all take that leap of faith to do something that brings them joy. Ultimately, if you're not happy with your work life, it will eventually take your health. I will be here rooting you on as you building this homestead from the ground up. I hope the new well driller will be the one that gets water on your land so you can move out there and maybe get a couple of pigs or goats to help you clear those brambles. They love it. Have a Blessed day.

Sounds like you two have a plan that you've seriously thought about. God bless you both in your new endeavors

You got this. It’s all in gods plan, you just listened and than went for it ❤️🙏🏻

When I view a channel, I often listen to their goals, expectations and what is important. It is good to watch others that have a faith based channel. I worked for 40+ in the medical field and I often got burnt out doing what I love doing. I am now retired and enjoy just doing things I enjoy and enjoying life.

It’s great that y’all were strong enough to make this major change and step out of the box! I’m pulling for you and praying for you both! Enjoy your new way of life! Amen to what Shannon said! You have to do it! I’m really proud of you for “getting out!”

I love your videos and look forward to seeing them. I'm enjoying seeing what you're going to do with your property because you're off to a good start already. I can't wait to see your chicken house get built and you guys get your first chickens for fresh eggs. Your Dad will teach everything you need to know about chickens.

Kyle and Shannon, you are truly blessed to have this opportunity to follow your dreams. God Bless you.

Watching you guys brings back memories of when my Dad bought land on a lake. Clearing for the house, garage & yard, clearing & stabilizing the shoreline, building the buildings & sheds, clearing a spot on the back 40 for a garden it was a big chore. Seeing the changes pretty much daily was one of our rewards. We did it all with family & friends & now have many great memories, not just of the work we put in but the time we got to spend there after it was finished. It`s a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Prayers to you both

Hi new watcher and very impressed with what you have done; My oldest daughter worked at the same hospital for 37 years. Started at 18 and worked her way up front desk admitting all the way to the position of CEO for credential / procedural mandates for two hospitals with the Medical Management Corporation. Yes she did get her degree& Masters working for the hospital but she was always "on call". She reached burn out about five years ago but was too young to retire and it was the start of Covid. She was forced to work from home and did that for 6 months. A position came open with the hospital she started with and was able to step down from her Managers position and take a lesser position working for the hospital again. What was nice was all her time n benefits were given back to her so she had worked for the hospital for 35 years. She realized if she worked till she was 46 and one day she could take full retirement from the hospital. She will get Social Security at age 66!! She and her husband both turned in there resignation on same day !! He has been working in banking as you were Shanon even though he had a masters in Education. He has found a job working in a Christian Charter School and loves it. I know this is long but everyone needs to take a chance if life shows it to you God Bless both of you n good luck

Good luck to you, Kyle and Shannon! It is wonderful to hear your thoughts in life and living. Keep it up and be happy! I enjoy your videos immensely.

It's a thing called RAID Wasp killer. It will even kill the nest. Ortho also makes a really good product that's good for almost anything, ants,Bees,Wasps,etc.

Thanks guys! Glad the wasps eventually let you get the chores finished. Looking forward to more K&S Get Out videos. 💕from Ky.

Hi from High Prairie Alberta Canada Kevin James Stout I am so proud of both of you for thinking of others and yourselves in the new chapter in life great job both of you also I think the name of your homestead should be Thorn Ridge

One thing you both have is saleable skills. You can do "How to seminars", take on a few clients for extra money and do it on your own time. You have the joy of helping others. Thanks for taking us on your journey with whatever you are doing!

Raving Gobbler…

Shannon, I love the name Thorn-hill (Acres maybe). The iris will bounce back even if damaged. If they stop blooming, dig them up and make sure the rhizome is visible (the creamy white part of the root). You literally can’t kill them. I’ve dug them up and just laid them on the ground and they still come back. Congratulations on quitting your jobs and good luck with future endeavors and keep sharing anything you do. That’s the beauty of your title. Your not limited to one subject or “Neisse”. Take care and God Bless! ❤️

We are so happy for you both! We are in our 70's and enjoy watching you and Chad/Rae, Gpa and Gma. We feel we are living your lives with you and when you laugh (we laugh), when you cry (we cry). God Bless and sending you lots of HUGS!!!!

Try to get sponsors for yourselves also, that would benefit you. Will say prayers that everything will work out for you both. You both seem happier now. Congratulations to you both.

Congratulations on really finding out what life is truly all about! The father wants us to find that joy in life, and help others. Enjoy the journey! Many blessings, Texas Deb 😁❤️🙏

Keep at it guys! You're blessed to be able to do this at such a young age.

Love your videos. I'm so HAPPY for Y'all. I'm one of the older ones that are reliving my earlier years through Y'all and other YOU-TUBERS I watch. Can't wait to see what Y'all do next out on your property. Keep praying and let GOD be first in your life and he will BLESS Y'ALL. Take care and stay safe out there.

Hello again. Do you wear cologne or aftershave when you go to The Land? Get some unscented soap and shower before going out. They should leave you alone. Good luck. Shannon, are you going to eventually have a garden, start canning, etc? So much fun and very fullfulling

Truely hope things work out for you both. As allways be safe. Peace.🇺🇸

I am 82. Grew up on a farm. I wish i could do what you two are doing. I am not physically able to any more so i really appreciate you tube and you all for making these videos. It is my television in my old age. I have not worn a watch since i retired. I do not watch news anymore. Have not in a long time but am a happier person not knowing what is going on in our world. Just like my childhood where all we had was a staticky radio. Never listened to the news back then either. I will keep watching you two live and learn. Enjoy

Seeing what a stiff wind does with the cutting of a small tree, please, if you're going to cut a big tree, wait for a lull in the wind! This is what I thrived on when younger, so watching the two of you in my rocking chair years is like I'm back in time doing what made me happy. I love the start up and the struggles to make dreams come true. Peace, love and lots of smiles. God bless.

Congratulations on being able to quit your jobs and do what makes you happy! love watching you and it is funny to watch Kyle and the wasps. can't wait to see you get a house built. Good luck and God bless!

Y’all have a great mindset, love what your both doing!

Two of the smartest young couple I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing you both! You two are absolutely wonderful! You’ve learned more in a year than most of us could in our life time! Grab the world by the “ ?!?” You own this! Good for you! Love you all so much,watching you guys make be believe

Im a 65 years old single disabled mother and grandmother who raised my kids mostly of what we raised or hunted and a big garden. Now i can't do that but still have a back porch garden. Love seeing what or doing and yes laugh at something you do. Watching from West Virginia

I love watching you guys, it’s a learning experience for sure, and I love to watch stuff like this. I have learned so much from other homesteading videos, gardening stuff, self sustainability and so much more. So keep the vlogs coming, I want to watch your journey unfold. ❤️

I like everything you do and everything you post. Hope you get good news on your well. You and your entire family are awesome. (Chad's family and Ralph's).😎

Those wasps hurt a lot and can sting you more than once. Great watching y'all develop your property and having fun together doing it. It will all be worth it one day.

You don't have to worry about those flowers around the Bradford pear, they are bulbs and can even be mowed over after they have bloomed, They are very easy to dig up and transplant to wherever you want them as well! I have been here with ya'll the whole journey and will stick w/ you through your journey! Rock on K & S!

Congratulations on your life decisions about your careers. I can relate as I had made that same decision in 2004 in my 40’s for similar reasons. Keep going the way you are and you’ll never regret it.

So proud of you 2. I enjoy watching your videos and can’t wait to see where this journey takes you all. Prayers.

Watching your channel and the fun you're having, clearing the land, brings back so many wonderful memories for me. Thirty-five years ago, my husband & I bought 30 acres of "untamed" land. We spent many weekends clearing, burning, getting stung, dodging snakes, etc. and, eventually we had cows on it. Unfortunately, circumstances prevailed, and we were never able to build on the land. We had a travel trailer to sleep in, and even spent one Thanksgiving eating hot dogs out there. Five & a half years ago, my husband passed away, and I've had to turn over the "ranch" to my kids. It breaks my heart, but, watching the JOY that y'all are experiencing with your land, is a Godsend for me. Keep up the great work y'all. I'm watching & rooting for you.........🥰❤❤

Good for you both. After 21 years of doing what I was, I stepped back as well. Managing is not my thing, and when I went to a lower position, trying to help others all that happened was getting thrown under the bus and not appreciated at all. As of March, I work for pennies at my son's elementary school. My sleep schedule is better, I get to play with the littles, and the smiles on their faces when I help them is priceless. I'll get the summers off as well. Time for my family and myself. I haven't had a week of vacation since 2018. So kuddos my friends. I enjoy watching you two.

I love you two! As well as your spirits!!! Awesomeness personified! Congratulations on becoming free and opening your lives with us, and exploring a new and educational experience of living!!!

Good news, that you are going to go for what you really need and want. We did it 53 years ago and look back and see it was so worth it. But, I swear, I figured you both to be in your low 20’s! 😊❤

Good for you! I worked for the same company for 30 years and retired at 56. I had 78 people to direct and never enjoyed it. After retiring I have learned more on you tube than I thought was possible. I continue to watch and learn. 😊👍👍

As almost 67 I know I won’t be spending time on a farm. 30 years ago my best friend had animals and I fed horses, cows, goats, dogs, cats and pigs. After she died from cancer my helping on a farm was over. I found a lot of great people on KZfaq during the pandemic. I don’t watch tv. One channel led to another. I have no idea who most “celebrities “ are but I can tell you the names of the animals on many channels. I know the families. Finding Adler farms and then Grandpa was what I needed. Then finding you was great. Watching all of you rebuilding your lives is amazing. Watch out for the wasps. God bless.

I really love you two! You are so honest, and I appreciate everything you're going through, both good and bad, enjoy your land, and each other (and wasps and thorns will one be a memory one day)!

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. Always look forward to the next video

You need to learn the trick of chopping wood using a thick tire. Use a small thick tire and stand your wood up in the tire loosely, after splitting the wood each piece remains inside the tire until you remove it, no chasing wood, no wood pieces flying up and hitting you.

Y’all, people thought I was crazy for years because I turned down management positions. I know what it takes to be in management, and while the money is nice, the stress is not. I cleaned swimming pools for 5 years and loved every day of it. It was mindless work, but brought me so much fulfillment, knowing that I was helping people enjoy their summers to its fullest. Now, I drive semi’s. I love my job driving. Kudos to you for finding your way out of management! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Love you guys!!!!

Keep doing what you're doing, its great!! I worked my entire adulthood making little while raising 3 sons. But I made it work and as long as I had my boys to come home to that was all that mattered. My last job, 15 yrs, I grew to hate but loved the people I waited on every day and stuck it out. Getting hurt at work wasnt even close to how I thought I would retire but I saved and am doing better now than when I was working! You can do it too! My only regret is now after watching you, Chad and others I wish I could go back and have chickens & goats.

You two make me happy. I laugh right along with you. If those are irises, you can dig them up, keeping a dry place and replant them where you want them in the fall. Iris and Dahlias are my favorite flowers to grow. Bottom line, as long as you put Christ in your life, He will guide you through everything. Wasps included. Love you.

I am cackling. You two are hilarious. The sun is getting to you.

I’m 74 and live on my own. I love watching your whole families. My son is 46 and has been in IT for 25 years. I have heard him talk exactly like you did. But he is staying. Maybe someday he will do as you. As for the wasps find the nest and spray. Faith will keep you safe. All love from Country Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

Are you allergic to wasp bites, if so be careful. They do smell your fear.

I'm getting ready to turn 63, and I learned two yrs ago that working for other people, had reached its end. I was the dependable hard worker with skills, working with a bunch of young people whose main goal was to see how little they could do, and still get paid....and a boss who catered to them. I said, NOPE, no more! My 90 yr old father thought I was crazy, as he grew up thinking differently about jobs....but, I was ready to be happy. ......I also have a strong faith in the Lord! Because I am active, love to do my own repairs, yard work, and gardening, I am able, and healthy. I'm also available to help my family too. I love it! ....and I still have dreams I would like to accomplish! God Bless, and have fun living life! :)

I'VE TOLD YOUR DAD AND I'LL SAY THE SAME TO YOU TWO. IT WOULD BE SUPER AWESOME TO BE NEXTDOOR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS WITH YOU. YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS SO GENUINE AND HONEST AND DOWN TO EARTH. IT'S SO FUN AND ENJOYABLE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. GOD BLESS YOU TWO.

Those irises will be ok

Thank you for the update all the struggles you have faced getting to where your at would be good to hear to learn from even the daily stuff I've never lived in a RV so its interesting to me but do really enjoy you two working out on the land making your dream come true step by step

I love watching you two be happy. I will be 75 this month. Blessings in your day, God is good.

I lived in Osage Beach, I wish I could have met ppl like u all, I left 6 yrs ago now 72 has not been easy, lost everything, displaying the elderly should not be, starting over has been a nightmare so glad to see kind ppl💋💋💋💋💋👏👏👍👍😍😍

I for one will be watching things progress every step of the way! Congrats! And good luck for your future!

Kyle they smell your fear ,me im allergic and yes run and scream like a girl 🤣

I’m 65 yrs old and love watching the adventures your going on!

Hey, I, my husband and my mother are doing exactly what you are doing...at 82yrs, 75yrs and 65yrs old. We are doing it on our Social Security, one step at a time. We hurt like heck at the end of the day, and love every minute of it. We moved in on Christmas day and lived through the cold winter with no insulation, totally off grid. We wish we had made the decision you two did a long time ago. God bless you both. You will be in our prayers.

I have allergies 🤧 real bad so I say good riddance to the pear trees!

I am truly jealous of your wonderful adventure. I'm 72 and I was going to retire all everything and buy a mini mobile home and travel. Well that didn't happen so I really enjoy watching all my homesteaders on KZfaq.

I commend you both for talking over your dreams and deciding to leave the 9 to 5 world and start fulfilling your dreams. You both are like a clean slate. Make plans, write down your goals and see the big picture. You have the opportunity to walk hand-in-hand working on projects both big and small to make a house your home. Blessings as you start your life-long journey.

Never a dull moment. 👍👍👍Just had to stop by and see what you youngsters are up to. So happy you got to see a wild Turkey- they come up here and scratch around under the bird feeders. Keep some cracked corn scattered around and you’ll have a friend for life. 🥰🦃

If you can do it now! Do it! My husband and I had to work hard and long working and raising 2 children. We were in our 50's before we were able to own our own land! I'm happy to see you doing this together!

Great that you are building community and bartering with others. We did what you are doing years ago and ended up on acreage with a homestead/farm. We barter food for help, donate extra to friends with pigs, swap chickens, and barter farm products with a larger local farm for their customers or restaurant clients. We love the land, gardening, eating fresh organically grown food and the animals who help us. We believe that it is vital to grow real food.

Love all you've done and can't wait to see everything you do!

I'm so happy for you guys, your whole family make my days so much happier. You are living my dream ,building a life in the country on your own land. I can't wait to see what you do next. I hope it works out with the well water guy and you can get moved onto the land. 🙏 for you all from across the pond 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Bravo guys. I pray you look always to our Father for leadership and direction, and that you have a wonderful time on your journey. I love watching you, can only do KZfaq, but love every minute of it. Love the whole family and watch you all.

"Which Saturday of the week is today?' Thats what I call it when I lose track. Love the eclectic nature of your channel. Keeps it interesting due to the variety. Keep up the great progress.

Love that you two set down and had a chat with us. Taking a note out of Mom and Dads’ porch rock and talk time. Keep up the learning, the hard and easy things with enrich your life as well as your viewers. Thank you for taking us on you journey to country life. Missouri transplant to Texas. Sure miss the country living. I will watch through your lenses to see countryside.

Y'all are doing great. Love your videos and am looking forward to seeing your progress on the land. Prayers for good news from the well guy. God bless!

We are semi retired. We have a farm so we will never retire but it's our love to have animals, garden and improve the farm any way we can. Husband works at a factory during the winter when we can't do much. I take care of the animals ( team effort ). You guys will do wonderful your a team learn something new all the time and both do things out of your comfort zone. God bless you.

Taking steps toward finding your happy plebiscite awesome! The Lord provides in many ways: wisdom, strength, resolve, resources, & His plan for you. Kyle & Shannon your are walking in faith. Congratulations ❤

This is the best thing about KZfaq - freeing folks to live their best lives! Y'all are awesome.

If you going to be living in that camper for long term. Block up the camper to the frame on all four corners. It will take out the sway every time one of you move. Still use the factory jack but blocking up to frame will be a game changer on the moving

That's how I feel too! It's all about helping others! It was my career as an RN for 35 years until I retired. I really miss helping others now. Help I give now is minor.

I am glad you were able to leave the 9-5 working world. I hope the You Tube work will provide for your needs. You both look happy working on your land. May that be a big success for you. 💖

Kyle. Wasp traps that I set out here in Oregon are YELLOW. Just a hint for you, I'd put the tools in the truck in a different tote ( without the bright yellow lid). I'm allergic to bee's and I also don't wear yellow outdoors like where your land is. Great job kids. Wild turkeys are just big brown turkeys.

You all sound so happy 😃 I will look forward to all your new adventures. I also follow all the Morrows at I’ma survivor, Chad and Rae’s, Arms family homestead and others. As a disabled older woman that loves the outdoors you all make me happy everyday. I miss being in the trees and mountains everyday. You let me be there

You did right with the Bradford Pear. After a number of years they split and lose big branches in storms . They do look nice in the spring but that is so short a time just for good looks. So you can imagine what you would Find one morning after a storm half of the tree on the ground and are left with an ugly tree that would have to be disposed of. Keep up the good work and learn from life.

So happy for you guys. It’s wonderful to see young people like you to be able to see that money isn’t everything. Being happy with what you are doing is an amazing thing. You have so much to look forward to with your land. Best of luck with whatever you do. 🥰

I had a 25 yr old Bradford Pear that I planted when we moved to our location..we've been here 27 yrs now and our State Farm agent advised us to cut it down because the will blow over in a microburst or thunderstorm and crush your house..they have so many limbs and are very heavy ! Live how your place us coming along ! Mine was about 2 ft in diameter ..trunk size !

Kyle and Shannon your being HAPPY AND RELAXED is the best thing anyone could want. I have never been one to get out of my comfort zone but I will be doing that by end of next week. I too am making a change unfortunately I don't get to retire but maybe it will be close to it. GOD BLESS YOU AND COMFORT YOU!

I'm one of those older folks as well and I Never Had a Farm or lived on a farm had no clue what was involved. Now I actually live on some acreage and I've got a goat and I've got a guard dog and that's where I'm starting out and so watching your experiences helps me learn as well

My son (32) is feeling the same way! He’s been a chef all his life, starting as a 15yr old at a weekend, pocket money job as a Goffer (Go for this, go for that) from that to college and further studies over the years. What he can do with food is exceptional. For the last 2 years the joy has gone, last month he decided enough is enough. Next week he’s starting a job in an office, if it works out great, if not back to the drawing board. There’s no point in doing something that doesn’t bring you joy, it’s not great for your mental or physical health. I wish you both love and luck for the future, from the UK 🍀

Love your enthusiasm and work ethic! Heck, I just love all of you. Your parents have raised you all well and full of grace and love for all! Thanks for sharing your life with us!

I definitely enjoy and appreciate seeing you go through your journey of clearing the land, issues with the well, etc. It's important to know all these details for future land purchases for so many people. These are not things that always are thought about before land is purchased. Many people take for granted that they'll buy some land, dig a well, and have good water supply. Thank you for showing us these things. Many prayers and much love to both of you! 🥰🤗
