WE LEFT THE CITY TO LIVE OFF GRID (1 Year TIMELAPSE)
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 03. 2022
- It's been 1 year since we left the city to live off grid. Having moved to the wilderness of Tennessee with ZERO experience to develop our raw land into our forever Homestead. On our road to becoming Self Sufficient we learned from day 1 how our lives were about to change for the better but not without the hardships that come with building a homestead from scratch. Using Solar for our electric and rainwater harvesting for all of our water needs has made our daily routine living in the woods a challenge but rewarding. We attempted to grow our own food with our first ever organic garden, built multiple rainwater collection systems and learned to live without the amenities we were so used to while living in Los Angeles. Moving our lives towards a minimalist lifestyle has taught both Jes and I how to appreciate everything we work for and the journey of learning will lead us all the way to building our own cob cottage.
Although our Bushcraft skills are at a minimum we keep pushing forward and with every failure we learn a better way of how to homestead. Living off the land is not something we ever thought was possible in today's society but with determination to escape the rat race, we inch our way to a happier, healthier existence not only in harmony with our own bodies but in oneness with nature all around us.
Follow our off grid vlog Little House Off The Griddy and lend us your experience or learn from what we do right or wrong. We hope you enjoy our first year off grid timelapse as well as our off grid journey. We sure had a blast and hope you Stay tuned for more from Sean & Jes

@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY oops lol thanks again
Just found your channel and very inspired... I'm in east TN also, and saving for land to start my adventure... and can't wait! Did you go through a realtor? And,what about building codes?
@Tammy Stoddard Hi Tammy welcome to the channel 😀.. We chose Scott County for that reason of building codes ( they are very off grid friendly here) and as for land we went through Landstruck.com
They have been amazing to work with and helped us get the land of our dreams.. looking forward to having you on this journey with us..
Sean & Jes
Hey by the way need anything give me a shout. Can find different stuff sometimes thru other people.
dude your homie who came out next to the waterfall said it best "its like the more you challenge your fears the greater your experiences are."
100% truth
Great quote.
I know I'm a year late but this is awesome!
Thank you 😊
Im old all i can do now is dream what yall are doing. Thank you so much
Well we are so happy to have you on this journey with us 😊 welcome to our channel
@@OffGridGrowing I live in Cleveland Tennessee for a while then move back to Texas where I was born and raised.
What part of Texas

I am so impressed at how much hard work you guys are constantly investing.
Thank you so much we ate really just figuring everything out as we go and do our best.. Appreciate the kind words ❤️
Aww … you have such a beautiful chemistry between you two!
Thanks yea we are in this fir the long haul.. thank you so much for watching and hope we see you on next Sundays premiere 😊
I watch many off grid videos. I have to say that this one is the best I have seen. The skill sets that the two of you bring sets you apart from others. You have an uncanny ability to think outside the box and come up with plan B when plan A falls through! 😊Well done and keep up the great work 👍!
Thank you so much 🥰 we are doing our best at living this lifestyle.. Still a ways to go
Good for y'all...best wishes to you both in living a life many of us only dream about!! I'm 64, and not sure I'll ever get to enjoy trying the offgrid life out.
Thank you ❤️ we may be new to this lifestyle and inexperianced but we are giving it our all
Go for it I'm 64 and love it rise and hunt for about 90 percent of our food go to town once a month total solar power and rain water collection it was hard first but love it now
This video makes me feel so good. 🥰
Its been a great year babe!!!
That's so amazing what yall are doing. Me and the wife have bought our camper and spent alot on our solar power. We have it set up to live completely off grid. We are in our semi truck about 27 days a month and hopefully soon we can find property and do what yall are doing
Thanks 🥰 sending positive vibes your way in hopes you find the perfect piece of land for your dream.. Welcome to our channel
You two seem to have so much fun living everyday! ❤
We try our best 😁❤️
Great video guys. Y'all are doing awesome.. . Much love .
Thanks Stephanie 😊 been missing ya
So love watching videos like this hopefully by next year I have mine tiny cabin here on mine grandparents land
Welcome to our channel ❤️ hope you get in your tiny home soon 😊
Well done guys! it's great to see people doing it! We just started 7 weeks ago and we too got much inspiration from Stacy and Doug which is where we discovered your channel :) Congrats on making it!! there need to be more people doing this in our opinion, it's good for the soul, heart, and world! xx
Hey thanks and super nice to meet you. That's awesome that you getting started on this path. We love it and haven't looked back. Thank you so much for watching and looking forward to hearing more about your journey 😊
How do you get around purchasing land without first having to put in a septic? I have been searching for a small piece of land for over a year now and I have been told I have to put a septic in first and that would put me over budget. I am wanting to travel and I'm in the process of looking for a motorhome or travel trailer and wanted to also have a homebase.
I sold my house and have enough for a rig and some land but I'm being told that I would need to put in septic and also some have told me I would need to put in water... I don't understand this. I would appreciate any information that anyone has. Thanks
@tinadoughty925 so it all depends on where you are and if the land is unrestricted land. Check out Landstruck.com as that's who we got our land from. Tell them we sent you and they will take care of you 😊 great company to work with
@@OffGridGrowing

I have a neighbor and family friend who also built out of cob. He made his house in a circular design maybe 25 feet across. When he had a son, he made a simple room out of plywood in like 2 weeks. If yoh want some inspo., ask 😀
How did the cob build go?
Good for you guys. I hope for your continued success. Keep it simple, keep it real.

I often asked Richard what he was doing on that mountain in Tennessee. I knew his son lived there but I did not expect this. He told me OffGrid and Growing . I had no idea of what that meant until our friend from NJ sent me your link . Wow, am hooked now. So well done.
A very educational job well done.
Thank you so much ❤️ I'm sure lots of people were like the mountains on TN why are you there lol

Thank you so much 😁 we have been improving with every video as well as learning new off grid skills everyday. Glad to have you with us on this journey
First time watch your great video and look forward to watching others
Thank you... Glad to have you along on the journey with us
The best thing I used to restore the black kettle look on a cold cast iron wood burning stove was non stick spray. The excess has to be wipe off. With the first fire, the windows and door should be opened or cracked for the first 25 minutes for any smell to go way. It’s comparable to seasoning a cast iron skillet. It makes the stove look new again. It needs to be done annually, after the last fire of the season. Unlike many products used to blacken the stove may have harmful chemicals.
Ok that's good to know 🙂 thank you
Congratulations on your guy's new journey!
You guys will make it on this journey to live off the grid! I admire your tenacity!
Brenda, from Glenwood Springs Colorado!❤
Thank you so much Brenda
Beautiful video
Thank you so much 😁 we worked really hard on it. Hard to choose the footage to use
At peace in nature and doing so well.
Thanks 😊 we are loving it for sure
Love this. Congrats guys xxx
Thank you 😊
Such a great put together video, land, and builds! Proud of y’all! This has been my dream since I was a boy. Pushing my mid 20’s and just got my CDL to work hard and save up and make it a reality! It will only get better. Peace to y’all and blessings!
Thanks you 😊 we really appreciate that and wishing you well on your own journey making the dream a reality for you as well. If we can help in any way let us know
I just watched the video for the first time.... It just goes to show, can do anything if you have lots of $$$$.
Lots of money?????? We started this with zero savings and our income is under $1000 a month total.. it takes time energy and being creative with what you have. We hope to show people that you don't have to have lots of money to do this, just have the will to keep pushing forward until things fall into place
Great video y'all!
Hey how are ya and thank you soul much.
Love the book idea
Thank you
You guys ROCK!!!
🥰

Appreciate you watching 😁
I'm about to start my offgrid journey in southwest Tenn. at 65yrs old

I missed the live chat 🤦🏻♀️ I loved watching your timeline video it was wonderful

Absolutely I’ve watched y’all from the beginning
We truly appreciate that. It nice to hear our hard work is appreciated 😁
you guys are brilliant, uk
👋 from space coast Florida. God bless you guys. Exactly what I'm waiting to be able to do. Keep up the good fight. 🙏💪❤️
Hi Mel welcome to our channel ❤️.. We hope your wait is soon to end 😊
@@OffGridGrowing thanks

We are inching closer to being host our friends! We are looking forwsrd to that day soul much. Thanks for the love and kind words! Blessings
What county are you from I live in Lawrenceburg tn.
We are in Morgan
Can you live in a camper permanently in Morgan County? I’m looking for areas that allow us to live freely in our RV.
@bettyluvsjoe all counties have restrictions. You will just have to call and check their regulations. But just about all counties have un-restricted property
If you've got a moving body of water on the property, that's free 24/7 electricity. A mini hydro system with a few LiFePo4 batteries and an inverter would be highly beneficial and allow for some conveniences.
Yea absolutely... we have talked about doing that in the future
Our creek flows most of the year
Look at all of that free carbon ( Brown Leaves ) for your compost bin. Although I would shred them somehow first. Wow cool video this one , The encyclopedia of your native plants that are on your property is a wonderful idea. thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 😁
I love you video Exciting If I was younger i'd be doing the same thing But I'm a little over the Hill And again enjoy the video and I'll be watching More Stay safe and stay healthy
Thank you 😊 we are happy to have you with us on thus journey.. Staying safe is definitely a must
Lol. I loved the ""no way, no way!!""" ...at the creek. Too funny. It totally would have been my reaction too! Except I would have tripped & feel in anyway hahaha
Lol Jes almost did 🤣
Awesome beautiful ❤❤❤❤😊
Thanks 🤗
Y'all are living the dream
Doing our best ❤️
Love your videos. We are slso iff grid and have come a long way from when we started and still have a long way to go here in alaska
