Thank you all so much for tuning in! Remember to check out Ally's hand-made goods bit.ly/Allysstore and any orders made in the next week or so should arrive before Christmas!

OH MY GOSH! The support has been unreal. Thank you Kyle for this amazing, selfless and beautifully-done gift, and thank you to everyone who has shopped! You are all such blessings. Getting to work on these orders with a HUGE smile on my face

Why do people have to be so mean?? I can hear the grief in your voice and I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I'm an elder, and I would be thrilled to have you as a neighbor, and so happy to see younger people happily building their future!

Kyle - Shawn James (You Tube name :My Self Reliance) had to deal with unhappy neighbors. They may try to hide it behind the guise of environmental issues or whatever but in most cases it's jealousy and the fear of the unknown. Your stories are visually stunning and the narration is that of an old soul. You and Allie are amazing!

Your intent is pure and it's sad that they cannot see it. You have thousands of us cheering you on, praying for you and supporting you as you walk through the obstacles of life. Let's pray that their hearts can change and they can see the beauty you are adding to the world.

Small towns can be both a blessing and a challenge. Hang in there!!!

I can’t believe those crystals y’all found! What an incredible gift from nature.

Songs in the order they appeared: New canon- garden friend Calming rain- candelion I remember well- Cody Francis More than yesterday- Daniel kaede

Kyle, I know you know this but it won’t hurt to remind you. “What you focus on expands.” You can’t fall into other people’s short sided expectations. My husband and I are retired. We are grateful that we live half the year in a small town on the Connecticut shoreline and during the colder months in San Diego. Over the years we have come to understand the “small town mentality.” When change is hard and perceptions are misguided. We applauded and cheer for both of you with every video on both your channels. Moving forward you always have to be true to your visions. As long as your efforts don’t harm others it’s full speed ahead. Hope you are feeling better! We were sick in September. No fun. Happy holidays to you both.

You are an amazing couple, the love and caring warms my heart. Seeing two people working together to achieve their dreams gives everyone hope, it can be done. God bless you both

Gosh you are such an inspiration. Setbacks and curveballs have been my life this past year as well. Some so heavy I thought I’d never find my path again. But we eventually hit one back, right? You should be very proud. That is the challenge - to keep on keepin’ on. ❤️. Love your videos so much. It is my Sunday ritual. My mom fell in love with your channel as well for comfort in her last days. She passed two weeks ago. So I am watching this Sunday and it means a lot. Keep going! ❤️

Dude I’m up here in Maine and it’s the same thing. The elderly own the entire coastline and nobody is allowed to explore. A young person buys a plot to put a cabin and the local town board goes nuts. PS let’s hang out in our VW Busses

Your content is awesome . I leave this world for a while to watch Trout and Coffee. My favorite videos are the ones with Ally. You two are doing great work. Thank you for giving my mind a good place to go.

Understood tipo. Kind of a mood killer, if people knock you when you're felling high. I love Ally's spirit. Very genuine, like her products I'm sure.

We purchased our home, here in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, from the husband and wife who built the home. The man they purchased the land from got 'seller's remorse' and would bring a lawn chair to the corner of the property while the house was being built, stare at them all day and threaten to sue them whenever he didn't approve of the way they were building the house. Some people in this world are just not right in the head and need to find things to complain about. It's not just your neighborhood, Kyle. There are nuts everywhere. LOL

Keep doing what you're doing and screw the naysayers. Nothing ticks me off more than good people being hassled by negative miserable people. Keep on keeping on man!

Thank you for telling the good story as well as being real and sharing the hard, not so cool and difficult chapters. If you ever watched Shawn James’s difficult decision to have to give up his cabin due to phycho neighbors harrasment- you are handling things like a confident, educated gentleman that you are. The love you emanate vibrates right through the screen and always reflects back to you. Your body had enough and forced you to recognize it with down time. You are like the Chrystal jewels you found in the forest-strong, rare, absorbing and reflecting the beautiful energy of the Earth!

All these things are the road to your dream (FARM). Invite the Walkers and Townspeople to a community supper at the cabin. My Friends and I do them once a year! Great food great talk .It works, have your Mom and Dad help ! they're even more local than you! Make really cool signs and post them on the walk path. Ally should make some small samples to give to the unaware. Show them you mean no harm...Luv you guys✨🎄🎇

Love both you and Alley’s videos. Makes my heart happy to see all the beautiful places you show and you guys with friends and family having fun.

Small New England towns are difficult. They don't bend to change and bristle at the thought of a slight difference. All I can suggest is to remain yourself and be open and kind which you are. Making one friend is all it takes. Communities are tight but getting just a smidge involved really opens the door. Hang in there❤️

Everyone is thrown curve balls but when you can hit a few out of the park that's what makes life so special. Loved the piece about Jon's truck. Happy Holidays and I hope it snows a ton.

I bought Ally’s Candle and lip balm and I’m hooked! I use them both everyday!😊I just popped on Etsy and ordered more products from Ally! Merry Christmas!

So sweet of you to shout out an ad for Ally. I have an Etsy shop too hence I understand the value of it. 💙

I wonder if someone noticed but you and John always remind me about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn). You guys are great!

Kyle, I’ve followed you since around the time you left the news station. I live In your area and think your an amazing young man and have done a great job on fixing up that property along the River. I have hunted and fished all the hill town areas and unfortunately there is a segment of people who like to think that this slice of beauty is all their own. I was fishing a stream in the area in front of a property and a couple said I must remove my self from the stream and cease fly fishing. As an older man in my 60s I have been disappointed that a way of life is not what I pictured it was going to be because of others. Keep your chin up, keep being you and continue pursuing the dream of owning your own farm one day.

Do you Kyle, keep up the solid work, we're here to cheer you on!

Thank you for your beautiful stories. I can’t stop watching them. I also have them on in the background and they are very soothing and peaceful.

@Trout and Coffee 6:00 I truly understand how you are feeling kyle... Those people are ugly inside People can walk in your property freely? You own the land or just the cabin? Take care of your health Greetings from Portugal!

God bless you both. Hang in there and I'm praying for your healing.

So sweet of you to do the AD for Ally. I hope she gets a lot of orders now😊 That was not fun to hear about the neighbours. They will get around.Just be yourself and they will eventually see that you don't mean anything bad. I always watch your and Allys videos. They are so so so amazing. Can't wait for next weeks video✌️

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with bullies, they should be ashamed of themselves. And when you're ill (and when you're working hard), taking care of yourself is still 'getting stuff done'. You can only work so hard for so long before consequences start to hit. Wish you a speedy recovery from being sick but please, take long-term care of yourself as well. Give yourself as much care as you give your vehicles.

As a 27 year super rural small town resident, I will be honest, I was in your shoes and now I am in their shoes. I don't think I have any wise wisdom. I notice those come in pull their weight, take an active part with out being a know it all and want to preserve the rural life tend to be accepted more quickly and by more. Love your channel and all your videos.

Rejection is aweful. I'm sorry you are experiencing that from your community. Hang in there. Enjoy this Christmas season with your family and friends. Be around people who love you. 🙂

It’s a thorn in your side for sure. You can hope people will change their perspective, get to know you, appreciate what you’ve done and that’s work hard “ and make a life, unfortunately, they don’t and may not. Your being intentional about the farm , the cabin is a stepping stone, a valuable one as you’ve learned so much along the way and will you will just appreciate the farm even more. You’ll be ok. Manage your stress, the body is listening 😵‍💫🤧

Just know that we are all pulling for you.I live in the south, so I really enjoy seeing the beauty of nature changing seasons. We get about a week of fall and maybe 3 of spring. Otherwise it is so cold you don't want to go out or so hot you will faint. I wish I had half the talent you do in doing your renovations. Keep going forward! You guys got this!

I found you and Allie separately. One day I noticed some of her video of fall colors was like yours and then heard you mention your girlfriend's name Allie and put two and two together. I have ordered from her Etsy shop and have loved everything I have received. So wonderful for you to pitch Lucid Lavender here. I hope it helps her small business thrive.

Folks seem to forget we come in with nothing and leave with only memories. Everything stays here. Be kind, encourage the young to live their dreams and Love hard. It’s all worth it. Finish what you started with your head up and follow your dreams. Wishing you tight lines and wonderful holidays.

A king stays to defend his castle when under attack. Stay and fight for your right to be there. Been following you for years. Loving your journey, keep going.

I love how real you are on your channel man. Sorry to hear about the unapproving neighbors, that's definitely a bummer. Another great video though as always!

We bought a house in an upscale area for a good price because a family trust was wanting to get rid of a rental property. None of our neighbors are friendly to us - a single woman and daughter - after ten years, I think because our property value brings theirs down (?). We love our home, and I am very proud that I have bought it myself with money I have earned. No one can really take that away. It would be nice if our neighbors were more neighborly and didn't turn their backs when we drive in. That they would appreciate the good things we've done here, and that we are quiet and considerate. It is sad to know they would not have our backs if we needed help, but such is the nature of humanity I suppose. Love what you have and stay strong, you are an inspiration.

The project of making your very own Cabin really inspires me and also reminds me that anything is possible. Love watching your Stories. My favourite. It's been a while I watched your videos, I've been caught up with many things and today when I got the chance to watch this, it reminded me to take things slow and enjoy the moment. Thanking you from a small town in India.

Go meet these older people !!once they meet you guys and get to know how hardworking , Down to earth and kind they will absolutely love and support you! Change is harder for older people cuz they fear the worst!! Keep working hard for your farm and it will become your reality!!!

Keep your chin up! You are young an able and all will move forward...like everything does. Glad you have each other to lean on! Take good care!!!😊

Boy Kyle I'm so sorry to hear that people are so bitter at your dreams, life is crazy and to short for this. Thoughts and good wishes to you and Ally ❤👍🙏

My wife is sick with the flu, the dog is going nuts and the kids are getting nutty…I watch your video and just feel a sense of relaxation and focus…so I put on a Phoebe Bridgers Christmas album, I tidy up the house and appreciate what I have and where I am right now. So…thank you for bringing some peace of mind.

Hey, we're local too and I get it. We've walked regularly down that way for the last 13 years, and I think it's beautiful that you've made a magical special place even more special. Keep on doing you! Sometimes, the world just has to make room for us young folks. Don't know if you know our place, but we've been working on it for years...you pass it often I bet. Anyway, we all have to just follow our path, can't please everyone. As a musician, mother, and creative soul I have learned we just have to follow our best selves and those who can understand us will be drawn to our journey too. Keep on trucking! ☺

Man what a great promotion that was for her, got me teared up how passionate she is.

Keep the faith. Radiate good intentions. Act as though you are loved and respected by your neighbors, offer to help them when appropriate, ask them for help when you can, take over something from the garden, ask for advice about something, admire something about a neighbor’s place out loud, confide in the neighborhood gossip that you bought the place yourself, that you work, that you dream, that you struggle, and ask for their advice. Works danged wonders…I live in a tiny village myself, I know how challenging it is…showing your vulnerability is hard but it calls out the best sometimes in the most hardened hearts.

Thank you so much for sharing your heart here kid, and letting us into your life. You’re a great guy. Praying for you, God bless and keep you🙏🏻❤ Also, love Ally!! She’s my homie☺️😉 Get it girl!!🤙🏼

Hang in there Kylie. Set backs will be with us throughout our lives. As you often say "All in good time".

The old folk in New England! Sometimes their way of thinking gets handed down to their children too. Ive run into that obstacle myself in NH. Hang in there Kyle and Happy Holidays!🙏🎄

Good fences make good neighbors! Get you a good survey, corner posts to establish boundaries, and a solid cattle guard at the road. If the problems continue stretch come sheep wire, build a nice dry stack fence, or a nice split rail to blend in with the forest. Familiarity does not equal ownership. I have to remind folk of that in my small town almost daily.

Hi Kyle, sorry you are dealing w not so friendly neighbors. As long as you are following the codes for building in that location, then you can stop worrying about your impact. Their response to your cabin, is their problem. We cannot control other people, nor would we want that burden. Deep breath, rumors are all over…keep busy, do not let them rent space in your head. They cannot afford it anyway😏 Hope you have recovered and feel better! Rooting for both of you! ❤️🥾🥾🐾🐾

Why don’t you have a get to know me gathering and invite all of the town to come for donuts and coffee and talk to them! Once they get to know you and Ally maybe they will realize they are being fearful for no reason! Just a thought! ❤

@6:00 Amen. A lot of people go through that, not that exact situation. but it happens often. Living well is the best revenge!

Thanks for sharing all the beautiful things life can be. You will find your special happy place one day. We learn from our struggles as I'm sure you and Ally have. Always look for the rainbow. Merry Christmas! P.S. placed my order for some of Allys wonderful products!

OOoh we know you ain't well if you don't want No Mudd!! Hope you and Ally remain strong and healthy, as we are all pulling for you both!!

Glad you are feeling better. Sorry the neighbors aren't welcoming. I do so enjoy your chats and will check out your partner's products. 😊

I live on farm and in small town outside bigger city and you will always have these issues with people. It's either your animals or building or whatever and it is hard when it's your neighbors and people talk and you feel uneasy at own home and conflicts or confrontation. Wishing you the best. I had neighbor keep changing our river thru our property and changed land because of them above us doing colverts and working on thier property or people on our land or building on line or not letting you access your land you can't get to except by easement so I understand and hard when these people have connections with the county you need help from. Been here decades and 1st moved in at Christmas had ornaments made and cards for every neighbor but no one responded and still feel like outsider when this has been home always maybe next town over but really all same . Keep doing what you want and makes you happy don't give in as it won't stop.

Just keep moving forward you'll get there lol💕,, from a very snowy cold OLD England 💫❄️🙏🎄🎅🌟@ALI IS SUCH A SWEET GENTLE SOUL 💫you two make me smile 🤗

They are lucky to have you as a neighbor!!!

Love the Cody Francis Acoustic tunes you use! I listen to them regularly.

I’ve been watching for a couple of years enjoying your gifts and talents. I work in local government, albeit in southern Appalachia where regulations are thankfully less restrictive. I’ve often wondered how you’ve been able to build the cabin in Massachusetts without constant permits and inspections. I think it’s ironic how 180 the yankee spirit of freedom and ingenuity has turned. Best of luck. You have a wonderful way of seeing the beauty in life.

always enjoy these videos! I’m also from New England and seeing a different perspective is refreshing

Mom always used to say, “When you’re going through hell, keep going!” I miss her every minute. Happy Christmas!❤️🌲

You know, you get the most resistance when you are doing something worthwhile. Hang in there and try to enjoy that beautiful place.

Good morning! I had a ‘96 Trooper for several years. It made it 276k miles before the engine quit. I was in a bad way working all over Atlanta and felt I needed a newer vehicle so I sold it for $750. The 4 wheel drive still worked perfectly and it still looked great. I’d driven it to any upscale Atlanta function proudly. I regretted selling it. I tried to buy it back years later but I couldn’t make it happen. I have all intentions of buying another one. I love the way they look and drive. I was told they’re hard to find parts for. Idk I built houses in Atlanta for 34 years. When neighbors complained about what we were doing I’d ask them why didn’t they buy the property so they could do as they pleased? They’d say “I can’t afford to buy all the property I’d like to keep the way I like”. I’d usually let it it go at that. Or, I’d say- “so you want to control what others do on their own property, gotcha” You’re kickin butt my friend! You got this! Godspeed.

Hang in there , let people get to know you and in time it will be ok . And realize u can’t please everyone and just know that’s ok 😁👍

OMG this cabin reminds me so much of a friends…he had started working on it.

One of the things I love about you both is how even in the midst of such hard, non stop work on your place and the doing of your lives, that you take the time to observe, experience, and appreciate nature in all it’s wonders. Right down to the little things. Thank you for sharing your journey and your heart with us.

By helping your dear partner with her business really means a lot to her for sure and for me you both deserved to be called as a power couple🥰

Great video. In a few years, your current troubles will be funny memories. ✌️🐐✌️

My God I totally understand !!!! Thanks to you and your KZfaq channel it helps me get through anxiety !!! Happy Holidays💙

It's 2am in morning watching yr story..I am so proud of you both 💙🙏🏼

When you have property…it never ends. I have 40 acres and trust me, it’s never ending…but so lucky to have it! Enjoy your content… and always look forward to your videos!

You and your family are Amazing- Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year.

It’s such a lovely vlog. Enjoyed watching. Thank you ☺️

Hang in there, Kyle and Ally. Hope by now you're feeling better. Cabin is looking up!

In regards to bringing stuff in by sled- if you buy something along the lines of a jet sled for ice fishing and make it so you pull it by bars instead of the rope that comes with it, you can fly and they’re plenty stable. Cheers man!

always a pleasure hearing and watching your stories....👍👍

Kyle, people can suck. Sometimes change can be intimidating but rather than pointing that finger at you they need to look inwards and ask why they feel intimidated. Thank you for keeping it real. Know in spite of all the haters, you have so many loyal friends online and those that love you in person. We see your heart, intentions and goals are pure. You deserve that land as much or more for all the sweat, blood & tears. There’s something I need to remind myself when I feel down about other people’s actions and that is I must be doing something right to not be liked by all. Stay true to yourself and know you’ve survived all the tough days thus far... you’ll get through this too even when it’s discouraging. Keep doing you!! Looking forward to more awesome content & be sure to enjoy the holidays 😊

Good thoughts and positive energy sent your way. I pray for your health and peace of mind.

Life's curveballs are what makes us stronger. Hang in there and keep swinging! Happy Holidays!

Love your Christmas gift to Ally! That was such a sweet idea. Love both of your guys channels and Ally's products look amazing!

Love Ally Marie's channel and store :) 🤩

Ty for posting this. Ty for showing yourself being sick and life not always going perfect. I know I needed to hear your message at the end, and I'm sure many other people did, too. 🙏🏻

Good attitude! Great support from your loved ones. Ally, you're terrific! Life is made interesting when "stuff happens" so just enjoy the ride...you're Never Alone 😇

You can tell your have a good heart and soul just the way you express your love and gratitude for you friends and families 🤎🤎🤎💯

You’re making me feel better about all the curveballs I’ve been thrown several and it’s just me and I live in the city trying to be eco-friendly ,organic, trying to do teaming with microbes, got the compost bins going three,But there’s so much more to do but you make me feel better thank you Allie and keyle

You have this Kyle. Stay strong and stand your ground.

I’m from Brazil and because of you I finally started making videos!!! Thank you for changing my life.

Wow! Beautiful crystals

Love both yours and Ally's content. I got sick before Christmas and didn't feel good until just a few days ago. Hope you two are ok now. 💞

It was so refreshing to hear and see the last two videos that you have life stress, too. Everything looks so perfect through your lens. I've been tuning in since 2020 to escape all of the craziness and I love the simple life. We want a life that is less stressful on our acreage too, but work and fast pace, everything takes away from the simple enjoyment at times. I am saddened that people can not see how pure your soul and intentions are...give them time they will truly see you one day and regret their cruelty.

I love that you have goals for a farm. The peace and joy of the cabin life until the farm is a blessing even with the neighbor issues. Enjoy your time there learning and dreaming of what's next. Oh and I highly recommend Ally's channel and creations!

So enjoy your relaxing videos.

Woh! Check outs those gorgeous crystals!!! 😍🥰😍

It hurts my heart. You’re such a kind soul we need more people like you in the world. I can’t believe you’re going through that my heart goes out to you. That is so sad. I’ve been watching you for a long time. I love your stories and your journey I’m so excited to see what else you have in store. I’m here for the long run, you matter and what you want matters in this world so keep going. Thank you for all that you do.❤🙏🏼♥️🌞

I love the pure love and goodness of your friendship with Jon, he seems like sure a sweet soul. Love your content Kyle, always makes me feel good. Praying for love and positivity for you and Ally.

Your wish came true and you’ll get to spend time in your cabin with the snow today my man! Enjoy it and soak it all in. Positive thoughts positive energy.
