Maybe you're like us and want a peaceful life of freedom and independence in the country.
When we lived in the city that is exactly what we dreamed of. In the city were dependent on someone else to provide us with everything we needed, like electricity, water, and food. We knew that if any one of those systems failed we would be stuck and need someone to rescue us.
So, we packed up our family and moved to a 7-acre piece of raw land in North Idaho.
We’re just regular middle-class folks with very little practical experience in building, gardening, or raising animals. But, we were willing to give it a shot and couldn’t be happier with our decision.
If inexperienced people like us can become debt-free and find a peaceful life of freedom and independence in the country, so can you. We’ll show you how by sharing the skills and tips needed to make the move through our inspirational videos.

Newest Video https://youtu.be/_nyeqo6lW0I One of the best things about living off-grid in the summer…
An outdoor shower.
Simple setup and a great view while you clean up after a long day working on the property.
I show how we set ours up in this episode.

👁️ *NEW VIDEO* https://youtu.be/_nyeqo6lW0I One of the realities of raw land…
No well yet means hauling every drop of water yourself.
In this episode I show how we’re getting water onto the property while we’re building our off-grid homestead.
It’s a simple system, but it gets the job done.

*NEW Video* https://youtu.be/_nyeqo6lW0I One thing nobody talks about much in homesteading videos…
Where do you go to the bathroom when you’re living at a temporary off-grid camp?
We had to figure out a simple off-grid bathroom setup while we’re building on the property.
It’s not fancy — but it works.

Rain is great when you're building a homestead… Until it starts revealing problems in your setup.
A storm rolled through our off-grid camp and showed us a few things we definitely should have thought through earlier.
Some of our plans worked.
Some of them didn’t.

This was one of the most dangerous things we've ever done https://youtu.be/IZEfSkPGkvo It could've turned out disastrous. We learned such a valuable lesson this day.

Do you remember when we first hand drew the plans for our house and turned them into the county? We've come such a long way since then. Check out our latest episode here.https://youtu.be/IZEfSkPGkvo

We've started a new series of videos where we are looking back at where we began. https://youtu.be/IZEfSkPGkvo We are finding lessons from those early days here on the Homestead. This is what our property looked like when we first bought it.

Just a quick update to let you know we’re still on vacation. We’re on the other side of the country now, visiting the Grand Canyon! It’s been over 20 years since we were last here, and it feels so good to be back.
We look forward to seeing all of you soon!
