So many people have been asking me why Jesse? Why? Why do you want to put yourself through this much work and headaches to build and develop a property off-grid? Well, in this interview style video, I share exactly why I am doing what I am doing. Thanks for following the journey!

“I’m not afraid of hard…I’m actually looking for that”.

"I'm not afraid of hard." The most compelling, visceral, appropriate commentary I've heard in years. Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us.
You’re not crazy. You’re a good man trying to do the best that he can for his family. Modern society has nothing to offer your boys. You have an opportunity to give them so much more. I wish you all the very best of luck.
I don't think anyone could have said it better than this!!!

Enough of the no pain no gain sanctimony. Modern society and its advances offered his son the option to lead a full life despite having a disability.
Absolutely spot on and well said.
I worry about this for my son. I luckily grew up in a military family so had a bit of a sheltered community wherever we lived. We had free range to run around woodland, airfield, assault courses etc
I had little interest in playing video games or watching TV. My parents had to force us back into the house must days especially during the warmer months of the year.
I now live in a suburban area in a pretty nice city in the UK. I know the childhood my son will have is going to be different from what I had which sucks.
Well spoken, Jessie. You may not realize it, but you have inspired many by sharing your journey, experiences, and honesty . Thank you, Brother.
You have come such a long way, I remember you introducing yourself and admitting your addictions.
You are opting for a clean wholesome life that isn’t an easy option but it’s so worthwhile.
You are building a little universe for you and your family and I couldn’t think of a better one.
Hats off to you, you are a very brave man who is taking the chance to provide what’s truly important in life.
So easy for children to get lost in technology, at least now they will live in the moment and pay attention to their surroundings.
You have made the right choice absolutely no doubt.
Jesse, I have been following you for years and you keep surprising me, especially with this video. You tend to kinda clown along but this was so different and very touching. I hope it all works out for you and I will gladly follow you on your journey. Thanks for sharing this with us. And love and best wishes to your family.
You ain’t crazy for wanting more “life” in your life. Many of us are feeling the same way. God Bless!
My oldest son will be 7 in a couple weeks. He has microcephaly along with some other things. It humbles me to see everything you have done on your channel, because for the last few years I have been letting myself believe my situation makes it too hard to get to the projects that need to be done. I appreciate you telling your story, because it shows me that it can be done. Thank you.
Wise move... God bless your whole family.
Well said Sir. we have a special needs grand daughter and we love her all the same. she is 20 now and seems to mellow out to a degree. My son loves her as strong as the day she was born
Just thank you Jesse for sharing this video. 🤝
Very inspirational video. I admire your discipline and dedication to your family.
Makes me so happy to see you and your family enjoying yourself the way you do. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. You are such a source of inspiration!
Great introspect. Thank you for sharing it with us. Congratulations and your elder boy will have a blast in the island.
Your new independent life style and strong attitude make me envious. You realized how the modern tech world was adversely affecting you and your family and you did something about it. Courageous. I commend you.
I’ve followed you since you made your first video Jesse. I’ve been very inspired by you. You are not loco mi amigo! Love long and prosper!!
I love this message man. I wish I had the funds to do something similar. Never inherited a dime, work hard for every dollar I make. Gonna try my best to live a similar lifestyle.
I wish you an the family all the best in the world samurai.... you deserve everything that comes your way god bless man..
You are doing what i dream about doing. Keep up. The good work
I'm really happy for all of you man - there's been a huge smile on my face the whole way through, I loved every minute it.
Some of us _know_ and seeing others finding that same life is a real joy. I want this for everyone in the world but it's a sad fact that only _some_ will ever go and take it. Yeah it takes a lot but what it gives in return is priceless. Good for you Jesse, good for you all :)
I’ve been watching your videos for years…. No doubt this is my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
Hearing you talk about your special needs child and the choices you made.
My opinion is you did not made any sacrifices.
You are just a responsible parent.
Good job.
As a woodworker I thought the urn video would always be my favorite and it prob will always be.....but as a dad this one was really motivating for me. Thanks for always being awesome, Jesse!
Thank you for sharing, you have always given me inspiration and joy in the things you have been able to do. I look forward to seeing your progress on the property.
“Your dreams should have to adapt, they should not be sacrificed.” That was awesome thanks for that Samurai!
Good on ya brother! Your intentionality for life and your family are both humbling and inspiring. Blessings
Not even a minute in and I feel like I understand you completely. Love what you're doing and where your mind is at. Keep it up brother
God Bless you and your family! For a few months I would skip over your channel but since you started this project I have come back to the point I look for your video's every time I log on to CZcams. Thank You for sharing not only what you do but how you do it and still take care of your family.
From one special needs father to another, you rock dude, it's the challenges of life that give us purpose, stay strong.
Man you and your wife are awesome parents. By deciding to take the (calculated) risk of going off grid for the benefit of family and kids shows you both care for your kids. Well done Samurai, a real man.
You are 100% correct...keep on this track and you will live a great life...
This is definitely in your top 10 best videos!
Really happy for your new life/family chapter. And for sharing it here.
My family and I started our new chapter 4 years ago after leaving the mainland and setting in the Comox valley. Best life decision ever. Lots of back and forth the first couple of years to BC children’s for my son treatments but doing lots better now.
Wishing you all the best…
Looking forward to see your dream/vision coming to fruition in the next few years.
I believe this is the best video you've ever done. God Bless your family.
Thanks for sharing, couldn’t agree more with your chosen path. Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
You’re such an inspiration. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. ♥️
Beautiful, Jesse. Thank you for bring us all along!
What an awesome video. You and your wife are awesome people. I appreciate you sharing your story. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Thank-you Samurai Carpenter. I like your thought process and aditude I hope it continues and you preserve through the challenges in your path. But these three remain; faith, hope, and love. May you lead your family in the good positive direction, leading your family to honour and respect what we were made to do. I pray that you are blessed and achieve this goal.
You have made the right move, just like i did one year ago , with my wife and four kids . well done ....
Thanks for posting Samurai! Love and Respect to you and your family from Bunbury West Oz.
You and your family are inspirational. I can't imagine a better thing to do for them than what you're doing out there. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I really appreciate you speaking from the heart and your experience. All the will.
The voice inside of you - that you just can't escape without loosing self respect. You're doing the right thing, and I believe there are thousands, if not millions, that sense the same thing as you. I'm heading full steam in the same direction, much thanks to yours and other great creators videos. Truly grateful for all you do. Chris, Oslo, Norway
God this was incredibly moving - did not expect to get me right in the feels! You're an inspiration.
What a beautiful message. Thanks for showing how human you are. 🙏🏼
Good for you and your family. I think doing this will make you all stronger in all aspects of family life. The look on ALL your boys faces says it all.
Your words makes me crying of Joy, I love u all Forever!! Big hug from Italy
To see the smiles on your family's face is all you need know you made the right decision . Love your videos ......God bless you and your family
I did this in the 90's- and while things never go the way we imagine them, theres not a moment I regret... and I'm sure you will find the same. Not knowing what will happen next or how they will turn out is the is the start of somthing unimaginable. Best of luck!
I found comfort in your comment...I am about to enter the unknown in about a month. Your words brought reassurance.
You're very brave for putting yourself and your family out there. This is very inspiring and making me think over life.
Much respect to you. Thanks for setting a good example & being an inspiration to millions all over the world.
Wishing you and your family all the very best, thanks for sharing the adventure with us. Peace Samurai.
Dude, you and your family are amazing! I hope you keep making videos for a long time, and I hope you find all the peace and joy you seek! God bless!
You’re an awesome dude Samurai, my 3 brothers and I all follow your videos, sometimes we watch new ones on the building sites we work at and it draws a lot of attention. I love this new series and am working towards the same end myself. You did it a good time for the kids too, if they got much older you’d have a battle on your handsi
Amen!!! COuldnt have said it any better! Im envious of you! God luck and looking forward to seeing your progress.
You did and still do the best for your family and yourself!
Keep on the great work, I wish you guys all the best!
Brother, massive respect!! All the best to you and your family and enjoy your amazing place!!!
From the content I have watched for the past few months, you are a good person, wanting to get more out of life for those you love and care for. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing this content - you are an inspiration and I'm grateful to share the journey.
As always, you are real, encouraging and an example to all. Thanks Samurai for sharing with me
Good on you, well done and good luck to all of you 👍🏻 its great to see your journey, thanks for sharing it
Beautiful video, bro. Really happy for you! We’re building a skoolie to get away from the typical modern life. Keep pressing on man. God speed!
Thanks for sharing, Jesse! You and your family are good people! Greetings from Norway!
Amen brother! Good luck, and look forward to watching you build your dream!
“I’m not afraid of hard… I’m actually looking for that”
What a superb mindset.
Thanks for sharing and bringing me along on the journey
I really enjoyed this format and your thought provoking answers. Thank you for sharing
Brother, this is an inspiring message and just the kick in the pants that I needed today. Thanks for doing you!
Great video! Very touching and deep conversation. I really admire what you and your family are doing. I wish you every success!
Dude, you should be so proud of the path you and your wife are choosing. This video and the timing of it was so needed for me. Thank you for always sharing and being authentic. Praying for you and your family as your journey through this life.
This world needs more people like you and your family. I hope you live your dreams...and your kids also.
Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work getting the kids outside!
I'm working toward similar things here in Scandinavia and hope I can get just a little bit of what you've done done for myself. Your channel and work is really inspiring and motivating to me at least. Good luck going forward with everything. Thank you.
Thank you. You are the most adequate and brave man I've seen so far. The man of steel. All the best to your family.
Right on, special needs kiddo dad here. Appreciate you opening up brah. Thanks for inspiring me to be more open to the challenges ahead. Currently live in SE Asia, I’ve heard an expression here that considers Nature as the third parent.
My autistic son definitely responds well to nature, and like your sons, his typically developing brother is growing up much more compassionate and accepting than many kids his age.
Been following your channel for some time and this proves that you were gifted your ability with building and vision for a reason. You are one of the few real men we still have in this society of ours. Stay strong to that family you have and enjoy all that god has given us!!! Stay blessed
You hit the nail on the head, figuratively and literally. To grow in all ways. Physically, mentally, and spiritually! You are living life in the most ingaging way. Its great you have this philosophy. Live, laugh, love.
You are a determined, brave parent warrior. I think we all struggle with the same things but you are taking action which is super inspiring. Love the woodworking aspect of what you do but this is next level. Keep it up.
You are making life changing decisions. For the betterment of your family. Keep it up! Blessings from New Zealand
Such an inspiration.. I strive to be like you my man 🙏🏽
A very sensible & talented man with a great family ethic... Good luck to you all 👍🇬🇧
Hi Jessie, one word for you.. Respect! Awesome decision and attitude. I wish you and your family blessings and love as you undergo this wonderful journey. Regards, Mark (South Africa)
You’re not crazy, you’re living the life you have right now and not taking it for granted. I am a bit torn now , because I’m watching you on a screen rather than doing my own stuff. This is all getting a bit deep. Thank you for making your vids. I do enjoy them.
I have watched so many of your videos and been incredibly impressed with your woodworking skill, but watching this i am even more impressed with the person that you are, samurai out never, always in my friend
Good quote, "I'm not afraid of hard, I'm actually looking for that."
This is what keeps us strong. God bless you brother.
Your work is inspiring and motivational. Thank you and I appreciate you.
Man, YOU’RE not crazy!
You’ve made the right choice(s). And are able to reason them out as well!
Keep up the good work! Stick together, talk it through. Stay strong.
Your bond will only grow stronger.
Thank you again for sharing this portion of your life with us.
I really appreciate it!
So enjoying this series. Always looking forward to the next upload. God bless and stay well.
Glad to see you doing so well. Hope the best for you!
Thank You for this video. It helps shine a light on what I need to change in own life.
This is the video !Samurai will live on for many many years! Good one ☝️ thanks from Ladysmith bc
What a lovely man! All credit to you, you. Sitting there, breathing in that fresh air, looking out over that lake, what could possibly be better! You have a lovely family and I wish you all the best mate on your life’s journey
Your vulnerability from this video really helped me open my eyes to my life. God bless you man!
Good for you! I wish you the very best of luck in all that you do.
I live in mountains in France, rural area, I am just happy every days to see the summits around
Been following your channel for a very long time. I actually do woodworking because of you. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless, man. And keep up the good work.
That's a very inspring story. Thank you for sharing.
Looking good my man. Happy to hear that you are taking the steps to be in a better place. I for sure am in the same boat and struggle with screen addiction, being out of shape, and injured in the past few years. Always an inspiration Jesse!
Definitely not crazy, inspirational, thoughtful, talented, real and definitely family driven. I started watching your channel based on your carpentry skills but some of your best and thought provoking videos are those where you share your life journey, your definitely someone people should consider as a great human being, keep getting stronger all the luck for your future endeavours.
'The greatest affliction in the universe, is to never be afflicted.' So glad you are trying to live your dreams, and embracing the 'hard.' Inspiring stuff man. Thanks for sharing Jessie!
You are a wise man. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Wow! This was amazing to hear. I’ve been watching since the stone sink and have seen exactly the things you spoke about. Crazy how funny it is making fun of butt cracks reveled during a build or making something was acknowledgement of, in your words not being focused on health and the memories that last. Thank you for sharing your journey, seriously. It is an encouragement to me as a voyeur/viewer. God bless you as you strive to focus on the more important things that last and letting us tag along for the journey.
