This is how we were meant to live, free of rent, just living off the land, very happy for you guys

This guy is talented. He could probably start his own business doing this for people

Single Mom here, so nice to find this, I'm planning on doing this in Eastern Oklahoma in a year from now, been in the works for a very long time ❤

I’m 59 and have failed at everything else. Needless to say, I have nothing. Something like this gives me incentive and purpose. I’d like to give this a try. It seems and appeals as liberating.

You , my friend are living the REAL American Dream. Cheers.

I'm paying a Grand plus a month for rent just outside Chicago. I work my ass off all day to barely get by and all I dream about is living the life you are living, my man. You make it seem way more realistic than its ever possibly felt. Incredible. Well done.

Well…I never really thought about living off grid ever. But this is inspiring me to make a plan to do it

The number one reason more people dont go O.T.G. is they cant make the sacrifice to just go do it and possibly be uncomfortable till you figure it out. It's hard work but the peace of mind cannot be bought. Im glad i happed to find this. I usually skip this stuff, find it to be real trendy like.

A homeowner here on Long Island, NY my whole life. Worked over 35 yrs now, I'm dying to get out. I know I would be so happy if I would just get up and go. Still difficult to get the ball rolling.

What a friendly, down to earth, and all 'round decent man you are. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to have created this video and to answer questions for us. You sure have a beautiful property and a perfectly quaint little home. Enjoy ❤

Great work. I just took my family completely off grid and documenting our journey here in Oklahoma as well. I just subscribed and will be watching for tips.

Short simple and to the point video without all of the fluff. I like it

You’re living my dream! Congrats on your freedom 👏

Keep on trucking 👍🇺🇸

So encouraging that you shared your process of becoming a home owner living off the grid🤩.

Excellent video. This is my dream. I hope it’s not too late for me.

Great video! You’ve reached a younger audience as well lol! I’m 19 just now becoming interested in off grid living! Love the content thanks for the inspo😁🐐

I think this is the most realistic off grid video I’ve seen. Thanks for the content. I’d love to see more details about each system and how they function.

Subscribed!!! This is what I'm looking for; if I have to stay alive, this is the way I want it.

Looks very peaceful!

Very Smart ! :-)

Good video! Your KZfaq short made me hungrier for the lifestyle change. Keep posting videos like these, your helping motivate the masses.

I find your channel very inspiring and I love the style of your videos. I think you are both doing great and look forward to your progress. Kind regards The Water Cyclist

don't mind the criticism, sure there are various ways of doing this. you've created a straightforward and accessible way for people to start the "off-grid" life. props to you man!

Love this! New sub. Hope you put more content up as you do more projects. I’d love to see your garden when you get it going.

I’ve been binge watching your videos because you’re living my dream. Thank you for posting your journey openly and helping guide us! Best of luck in your journey and I look forward to a future garden :)

Nice job buddy! Sadly You'll get the haters comments and most of us will only dream of you have accomplished in their lifetime! But you have inspired me to keep pushing my off gird project! Last year after COVID i finally convinced my wife we need land out in the country, with a long driveway and at the end of it youll get met by someone that knows what he doing in life... Keeping it simple!! End of story, thanks for sharing!

I'm looking to do the same i live in Oregon my credit is ok but i might have to go bankrupt. just want a new life. i want out of the rat race. my landlord will not sell me the house I've been in for 11 years its falling at thank for your videos.

It’s illegal to collect rainwater in my state but I’ll move for this type of living

10% interest on a small amount for 7 -10 years beats the hell out of 7%(or even much lower) interest on a much larger amount for 30 years ...... chess , not checkers 🤘

Dam Brother... Absolutely Love What You've Done to set yourself up.. Down and Dirty, Easy Peazy... Very Inspirational... Keep the Great Content Coming !!!

I just did it. Selling my house and bought a small homestead already. My taxes alone go from 3100 to 260 a year. Homeowners 1275 to 550. Thats just for starters. Im done with it all.

God bless bro! I like the fact that you took action on your goal! Please keep us informed on your progress step by step.

New subscriber brother! Your place looks amazing! Hey i know nothing about solar powering stuff so if you would do a video showing step by step start to fini think everyone would love it. Thanks again man. This is Mike in Charlotte.

Nice one man. Wishing you success with it all.

This is unbelievably fantastic! You just can't do this here in the UK. Envy! ❤

Enjoyed the video. I have been flirting with the idea of just getting out of upstate NY. You are never ahead here.A lot of labor setting up a homestead pays off. Keep up the content and get those chickens! 😁👍 God bless America 🇺🇸

Thank you for the link in your reply on the short video. I'm the one in the UK that said it's virtually impossible to do that here these days. Should move to the USA lol Great video & will be watching as you develop your lovely property. Subscribed 😊

Great info man! Thank you for making this video. We should all strive to be more efficient.

Just moved operations onto our 16ac farm this spring since retiring and have spent time on it between tents and now tiny houses. In fact I’m responding to you right here inside the unit while wife sleeps in the other section. We put in a garden again this year and filled 1/4 ac with peppers, tomatoes, cukes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, butternut squash, 3 varieties of watermelon, green beans on and on. I’ve been preparing for this for eight years since I first bought this farm, have solar and wind power being installed with my son helping me as he is learning about this alt energy. Just had to share and give you 👍👍for your effort and say howdy. Howdy

Genius. Pure genius. Gonna do this..

Nothing wrong with getting back to the basics, the inner peace you gained by breaking free from the rat race must be awesome. Currently looking at getting on some land in the Kiamichis, but haven't quite found the right property at the right price point that I don't need a full on Rock crawler to get to.

This is the way I want to live when I retire - not there yet by a long shot. I want anywhere from 30 to 50 plus acres waaayyy out. Want to be able to be self sustaining like you are. Loved the video. Looking at more of your videos. Blessings.

You got this. An excellent retreat. Can't wait to see the gardening, and the chickens 🙂

Almost all of my money goes to rent so I am looking at alternatives. I’m sick of paying $2,700 a month for an apartment. They’re about to raise the rent again.

great setup you have going on and thank you for putting this video together excellent job...Like how you got house cheap and water tank bartering.

This is fascinating. How did you learn how to do all of that solar and water hookup stuff? You are set! It just makes me wonder why all of those 'tiny-house' folks are running around looking for places to park. Why not just buy some land like you did?? Maybe they have to get permitted or something... Thanks so much for sharing.

Beautiful place you have kinda reminds me of rural Florida. What’s sad is in Florida they’re trying to kick people out of tiny homes and travel trailers even in the country. I still don’t understand why..?! I’m going back to a simpler life. Sick of my rent going up every six months to a year. I clicked on your short and thought wow this is exactly what I have been wanting to do. Devine intervention ❣️🙏 You are blessed sir. Congratulations to you and your wife. Yeah animals are a lot of work even dogs and chickens. Get a cat lol they own you and not the other way around plus they keep rats and snakes away. Not 💯 percent but I would take that chance lol. Fresh eggs is nice. My brother has chickens and they are costly they need love and care. Glad to hear you’re not there yet. Spoken like a true gentleman. Enjoyed your honesty. I can see how happy you and your family are even without meeting the wife. Enjoy that tree swing! Priceless…❤

Please provide information on what you used for the house foundation. Also, how did you learn all these skills? Thanks for the video. You are a cool guy.

My solar panels generate between 3000-4000 watts per hour on a good day, sometimes hitting 5000 watts. My central air conditioner draws roughly 2500 watts when it's running and when it's in heating mode it draws about 3500 watts (there are no heat strips the compressor just runs at a higher speed) but since the HVAC unit only runs intermittent, I always produce more electricity than I need. The drawback to solar is I produce a lot less in the dead of winter, still enough to power my house but not enough to run the heat pump, that's where the wood stove comes into play. The solar production picks back up in the spring and in the fall I use the excess power I produced during the summer so I can use just the heat pump at those times.

You did it the way that was best for you and your family, the fact that you care enough to share with others makes the it perfect...

I live in Tulsa. This is awesome!!

This is beautiful man one day I hope to have something like this life is too expensive these days

This was really cool to watch man.

Well done bro

I'm in my 40's now and have been thinking about doing this. Thanks for making this video 🤘🏼

I live south of Tulsa. Currently looking for land a little further south and maybe west of where I live currently. Prices have gotten outrageous. It’s worth it though. Getting away from everything and living off the land is the way it should be. I’m divorced now so even better haha. I’m ready for a bigger garden than I have now, a couple head of cattle, chicken and fruit trees. I’m in my early 30’s so I think by the time I hit 40 it should be completely self sufficient with all the necessary additions added along the way while learning. You have a great set up there and I appreciate your insight.

Not sure why I clicked on your video today, but I am glad that I did. I love your piece of paradise that you have built. My thing has always been self-reliance, I do not want to have to depend on anyone for anything, especially those set up to profit from me... "Do Not Feed The Billionaires" I did do some experimentation with Aquaponics and Greenhouse Gardening...sadly I am still owned by the electric company, the Oil company and the insurance company... I absolutely hate it! Very Happy to see someone doing as well as you...inspiring.

Nice, very nice. With all that is going on, the bovine excrement hitting the fan (classy way of saying shtf) is not the time to be building a garden and chicken coop and stocking it with chickens. Need to be doing that all right now. And to ensure the safety of the garden and the chickens, fencing. We bought our house and a small bit of land it is on pretty cheap. But, there was no fencing. Nice thing about fences is it keeps what you want inside and what you don't want outside. But, here is another benefit. It is a trellis. The outer fencing has black raspberries, climbing rose (which provides rose petals for jelly and or tea) and (rose hips for the best winter source of vitamin C in winter time), grapes, the list goes on and on. I have dwarfed plum trees where their branches are woven into the fence so fruit is easily picked. I set up rows within the fenced area where again I use posts and fencing as trellis to grow all of my climbing fruits and veggies and beas/peas. Growing grains and producing some of our own syrup/sugars and we are getting more and more off grid every year. And ya know what? The food tastes a whole lot better too. Oh, we use heirloom seeds so we can reproduce our seed that sprout true year after year. Take care y'all!

Would love a tour of inside of ur home even if in beginning stages. Giving us ideas of how to make it while not yet having all perfect. Thanks for your help & ideas. Love turning others trash into treasure for yrs…Goodwill, Thrift stores etc. I used to find things along side roads too

I really appreciate you doing this! Very motivational and informitive.

Just so wonderful. !!!!!!!!!!!!!$$$$$

Way to go. I’m thinking about moving off grid I’m single my wife passed away. My daughter passed away. I’m a truck driver. I’m always on the road. I’m spinning 18 holes a month on a house which I’m never there. I want to retire in about eight years or so I’m definitely looking into doing this. Love the video. Keep up the great work. Have a great day.

Living in Illinois, and we hate it. Our school system, is the only thing keeping us here. (Believe it, or not, they leave politics out, and teach what they’re supposed to). But, as soon as our youngest graduates, in 2027, we’re heading to Tennessee. Looking at land, now. Not sure if we’ll fully go off grid, bcz I’m disabled, but we somewhat will. My husband, and I, love country living. Your vid was very helpful! ☺️

This is exactly what me and my wife want to do but I wanna do it in West Virginia or Pennsylvania that’s where we are now pa I’ve slowly been gathering up hat we will need solar panels and wind turbine all the outdoor equipment the power tools I’ll need axes etc all I have is a couple nice tents as of yet but I’m a contractor so I build for a living now so I’ll just have to get my property and some lumber or do a log cabin while we live in a tent at first but good for you man your living my dream ❤

Great job sir, love the build and thanks for sharing knowledge, so helpful, envious!

Looks good thank you for the show and tell.

Thanks brother for all you do. This information is a huge help to my life for things to come. Thank you very much. Many blessings to you and the family

My grandparents left me land in Alabama (90 acres) but I doubt I could get my wife to join me on the farm. Our house will be paid off in 18 months then we plan to travel to different places (warm weather states) for vacation home. I grew up on a farm so I'm use to the simple life but it would be a big adjustment for my wife. Enjoy the good life my friend. Close to retirement but not there yet.

Thank you for sharing your living experience with us I really appreciate it. I might want to try this one day.⭐️💪🏻

Living the dream. I'm so looking forward to it. I can not wait to be where you are. Thank you for your videos and information. I appreciate them and you.

I like him. So southern and transparent. Lol 😅Thanks for this video. 😊

Excellent!

Great informative video! 👍 Thanx you for giving the ideas most channels skip over such as what exactly to search the internet for when doing our own research & about how much you paid for everything. My hubby & I have been looking to do this exact type of set-up. ✌️

Been thinking about doing the off-grid life for a little while now. I would like to be able to live comfortably without all the crap everyone has to pay for in the city. I find it facinating and inspiring seeing stuff like this!

Doing what I can in a smaller type municipality (17k people). Tiny house on 1/2 acre thats paid for. Taxes 400 per year. Debt free & simple is the only way.

I love your setup, I just want to scale it all up for a bigger home.

Congratulations, you are living the dream!

Would love to know more about your income and how do you make a living paying the few (but existent) bills this you have. I feel like many “off griders” nowadays can do so because they have some kind of family money behind (not your case I would guess).

Really enjoyed watching your video , it’s inspiring and exciting to see what can be done without being super rich. Thank you for making this video. I might hit you up in the future for some questions. God bless

I'm to the point in my life where I want to move off grid, everything is so freakn expensive anymore. Don't need much to live and be happy. Great vid man, I shared it with my brothers and friends. Cheers bro 🍻

Love it ! I have the tiny house and garden and chickens only having what we need is the best feeling

This is the route I’m taking right now. Working on paying off my property, that I got the same way. Saving for my $8000 cabin that I saw alongside the road. I got my list of things I need. Solar. Water. Etc. thank you for making this video and the reminder on patience

I Love What You Have Done

Starting my research I think this is awesome

I'm all but off grid, the only thing that really separates me from that is my solar array is grid tied without a battery I only pay $10 a month to stay hooked up, no electric bill. That is the only utility service I have. I saved up and paid cash for everything. I won't buy an electric car either because they are too expensive and would require more solar panels. My gas car is paid for, bought it used for $2k and all my driving is for pleasure as I only live 5 miles from my job and stores. I do have electric lawn mower, weed whacker, chainsaw, and leaf blower though.

Thanks so much for sharing this!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Wow! God bless you brother. It's really helpful to not only see what you have but to hear how you've done it. I really appreciate you explaining the whole process for myself and my fiance. This has been our dream for the past couple years now and listening to you helps us get one step closer. So thank you so much brother. God bless!

I’m in a similar situation. In my opinion seclusion is man’s best friend. Secondly, anyone talking crap about your advice is just jealous.

I live off grid on the big island of Hawaii no rent no water bill no solar my cost of living is cheap

Never subscribed before. But ive never seen a usefull &selfless vid like this before either. T.y. for showing so many that there IS a way out of the sham/cam the gov has us living in. And u r right. If every one did this the gov would find a way to put a stop to it. I wish I had the bravery u had doing this. I think I could have the faith to try but 2 things stop me... My heart is failing at 41. My wife scared to leave a 90k job. But in n.j. 90 k ÷ 2 gets you nowhere fast..only to next check. I truly envy/admire u. At least someone made it out.

I just found your channel and subscribed. Hope to make the jump next year. 🤞🏽 Thank you for all the informative information on getting started. God Bless 🙏🏽

You know you have to have water and fences and solar and a place to live before you get animals. But, it does look like you are close to being ready for chickens or sime small animals. Get some cute goats, people will watch your channel just to see the baby goats. You are doing great. That land and house would be much higher if buying today. I just found your channel and enjoy how you explain things to where most people can understand it. Don't forget about the goats. Goats (and chickens) are a lot of fun.

Did about the same, 5.2 acres and a 14'x36' shed. Alot of work but I paid off the shed 3yrs ago and the land 6 months ago. The land is about worthless because it's mostly a hillside, but it power, water and septic ready to go.

Love your videos man I'm moving offgrid to southeastern Oklahoma on the 1st of September. I can't wait!!!

This is inspiring and giving me all kinds of ideas. I’ve been dreaming about doing a set up like this some day but to be honest didn’t even know where to start. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge

💯🎯😊👍👏⚠️🔥Love this video. I sooooo wanna be rent free. I plan to do this one day soon!!

Great job! Thanks for capturing your story on video. You really are an inspiration.

That’s a beautiful home you’ve created for yourself & your family, sir.

Hey! Good info thanks for sharing. This Mike I was fishing with you on the red river
