A simple off grid homestead. Built from the ground up with your own hands. Thats the dream for thousands of people around the world. But, with cable TV programs and made up youtube videos, what does that look like in reality. In this video , my wife Brooke and I show the process of building an off grid homestead , start to finish, and what its actually like. Thanks for watching.
Portions of this video were provided by my wife's footage that you can see on her channel ( Girl in the Woods)....here's a link to her channel.

Do u got WiFi?
Eww I never build with birch tree on minecraft 😂
Great video btw.
Curious...why did you cut a slight angle of the short beams under the window?
Love this video, but I kept wondering how many miles out of town they are
This might be a stupid question, but does the metal roof need grounding for thunder-proofing?
Wow, I love UR build& U cook too!
You guys are amazing
Amasing video,excellent work ...and better philosophy of life ...humannity should regain simplicity in this life. a hug from the south..Argentina
"The chipboard garbage you're going to find at Lowe's" Love it!
this was a good vid
This is incredible
THIS! Is what we need to be teaching in schools.
My stepdad made a thing he called a "donkey" out of an old oil drum to use as a hot water system. It was perfectly fine for the tropics , I don't know how it would manage in the Arctic though.
It is like watching a movie. A step back in time. The beauty and simplicity of this lovely home, shed and out door shower. The only thing is in the winter people would wash in front of fire it would be too cold to use the outdoor one. Bet, no school or college could teach anyone the technique used. HOW DID HE LEARN HIS TRADE. A MASTER CRAFTSMAN. I would be afraid of wolves and bears getting in. Bears would break the windows! Enjoy here himestead😀👍👌👩👦🌲🌲🌲😁
Are you paying property taxes?
What a terrific video. And what terrific couple you two are! Can't say enough about the philosophical tidbits you add to your building narrative. We need a few million good men like you, and thanks a million for this hugely watchable, and very educational, video.
I'm fairly certain you know this by now, but on the off chance you don't, if you go just north of Fox on the Elliott Highway, maybe 1/5 mile north of the junction with the Old Steese Highway, on the West side of the road there is a small building with a freely available tap year-round with good drinking water. Lots of trucks have big tanks they'd fill somewhere else, but when we were heading out of Fairbanks to our place (just past Livengood) we'd stop and fill up 6-8 5 gallon jugs of drinking water. It's free.
Thanks for sharing bro. Learnt a lot.
Κάνεις το λουτροκαμπινε ξεχωριστά από το σπίτι και αυτό είναι λάθος ! Σε βουνό βρησκεσαιμπορει το VC ΝΑΤΟ χρειαστείς την νύχτα πως θα βγεις από το σπίτι σου μεσα στην. νύχτα. με τις αρκούδες !
Permachink. Lol
im looking to build some thing like that and im from Fairbanks lol....
I love all the things, but with only 4 acres how long do you think it will take to use up all your trees for firewood?
I've just done me back in!! I had to get up out of bed and do something!! Watching this video helped!! Thankyou!!
It used to be rural here, then through the campground people discovered it and the street lights came in and the stop signs and the homes and the drug dealers and people with toys and now we have a park across the road where teens drink and it has a plastic look... Time to sell.
We're doing something like this right now. Where did you get that jig for the chainsaw? I'm quite interested!
Live a simple life, be one with nature, a quiet place will keep your mind at peace all the time, great job sir
how do you earn a living?
Just amazing
He's just like me. Lots of glue and lots of screws.
if everyone was off grid there would be no trees left
Did you drive all four vehicles?
Just amazing. Thank you for sharing this :)
who was the builder referenced to watch to learn about building?
They have mini solar powered instant electric water heaters, will be good for making tempered water for the shower and or sinks.
Great video...loved the narration & all of your insights.
Great idea however will it stand up to a tornado as climate is changing everywhere
I just discovered this guys channel and I love it 🤣🤣
I love your videos, I'm off grid in missouri. And starting out from scratch your videos keep me moving forward with ideas for my place. Thank you!
I love it and watched all of it with interest. Well done
My dad couldn't have said it better, and that's the highest compliment I can give. X's&O's
I like the way I do it, versus the way you don't! Best quote I have ever heard! great video, channel and homesteading example! Bravo!
Awesome job, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
this was awesome to watch.
Amazing 👍
A very beautiful cabin!
Beautiful home and you did it yourself. 👍❤ It's amazing what people throw away. One man's junk is another man's treasure.
What do you do for work?
Ben Cartwright would be proud of you 🤠
I 💗 watching videos like these. Reminds me of Richard Louis 'Dick' Proenneke.
If I had no hernia I l’d certainly build one 🤣
no rent no mortage. don't be fooled you need to own the land and pay taxes on that/ nothings free.
Way to go!!!
Couple queations! I hope you see this and can answer! Where do you sleep? Does the water in the rain barrel get stagnant, if it sits to long?💗
How do you treat the wood against termites? is that something you have to worry about in the area of your build?
I love your no nonsense but encouraging attitude.
That's a beautiful finish to your cabin. I love your kitchen/dining/living area. I would have loved to see your loft space too. I adore the off grid/self sufficient way of life. UK.
Awh, the poet builder.
Bro, I was having a very nasty day ! I got to your video and I’m alright!
Anyone who disliked this video needs to have a good hard look at themselves.

I grew up in a rural area, and I helped my dad do a lot around the house. But I've never had the chance to really build anything, even though I'm itching to. Your videos are not only great to watch, but they're really informative and inspiring, too. I love how you mention that folks don't need to know it all before they start, but then you also refer Larry Haun to go learn from or mention carpentry books so that those watching have a jumping off point. That's so helpful! You motivate me to be better at what I do, and to reach outside my comfort zone with projects that I've wanted to start but never had the guts to before. Thanks, and to Brooke, too!
Really well done video, I don't always make it through these types of videos but I love how you kept this relatively simple and instilled confidence in everyone to take on "do it yourself" projects.
To je krása 👍👍👍 to fakt nemá chybu 👍👍👍
What kind of savage puts farm fresh eggs in a fridge or cooler
Helps keep the varmints out of the food.
The pale backbone relatively whisper because hub aetiologically warm circa a hideous high pastry. holistic, shocking point
EXCELLENT JOB!! now all ya need is some solar panels and you guys will bee 100%...not saying you're not now.. But it would help....
Excellent oration.
The snotty spear secondarily exercise because inventory invariably admit beyond a kind foundation. racial, nutritious noodle
Two thumbs up. The only thing i would change is shorts switch it to pants 👖 just incase Safety First!
Sounds weird, but I'm worried about the guitars. Unsteady environment. lol
The vast squid correlatively joke because airbus conceivably interest out a late flock. insidious, guttural H habitual ketchup
I have a question, how do you get money to buy groceries etc... when living off-grid, especially 25miles out of a town, i wonder if you gotta keep working (but then u just live partially off-grid) or you save some money for the project, food & gas ? Great video ! 👍
What you said is on point, also great built ..even though I want to say " poor trees"
Hey man, nice build! Thank you for always dropping in little bits of encouragement for people. Very cool my friend! 👍
First off I would like to thank you and your wife Brooke for sharing with the rest of us. I really enjoy watching your videos. You make it were even a simple person can understand just what is needed to get the job done.
Our pleasure!
What an inspiration you and your wife are. This is our dream and thank you for helping us feel it's a little more attainable. God bless you and your family always... BTW your place looks amazing and the feeling of all that being done yourselves can't compare I'm sure.. Thanks again
Thank you

Love the commentary, the recommendations, spelling out the Larry Hauns name, and your philosophy on life. Thank you and bless your life journey sir.

They prayed they did the work thank them Don’t thank Jesus for for leading them to do every action they’ve made, thank them for taking action. Don’t take their work away from them to say Jesus did it, they worked hard.
There are also ways to build a gadget to pull water from the air.
How would you dig and build a basement when you are homesteading?
Could you leave the bark on the logs when putting them in the house?
8:36 Expert Tip: Have Brooke debark the lumber later in the season when it's more difficult.
You sound like one of the old Grizzly Adams Television program’s , and that’s meant as a compliment. Great video.
Now all you need is a decent solar setup and you're golden! Great video, I enjoyed immensely.
this is amazing and very helpful thanks for sharing your story and how you did it !!!!
The way you explain everything and the motivational speech you give is amazing, hope to try to make my own home some day, keep doing videos about your projects please, greetings from Barcelona, Spain
