TOOL IS GREAT

Happy Christmas, 7 Kin fam. Sounds like yall had a tough go over the holidays, we're just glad everyone is happy and safe now. Spitting facts right out the gate, my friend. It took some time, a few choice words and maybe matrix dodging a large tumbler before I learned this valuable lesson with my wife. Thankful and grateful that we worked it out but there were definitely times where we had the look getting passed around the dinner table. Be proud of that accomplishment and hard work, yall deserved it. Much love, bro.

i have watched hundreds of hours of homesteader videos, but i get more useful information, inspiration, and motivation from yours than all the rest combined! thank you for the wonderful perspective and advice!

Straight up wisdom my brother

Now that things are aligned, I’m “rooting” for the completion of the jelly doughnut cellar!!!

I hear people like to use humor as a coping mechanism for making mistakes. 😂 The saying in my family, jack of all trades and master of none.

I still try to get things done but me and the over lords ( gov ) are going I two different directions 👍😁

Your story reminded me of a story my sculpture teacher in college told us. He was showing slides of his previous works when he got to one and said "See this?.....I made it, I set it up, I took the picture, and I watched it fall over". That was when he learned that he needed a different approach.

Great... now my husband plans on referring to his figure as Yukon Gold. Lol

Haha you're root cellar attempt turned out to be water catchment feature. Well I was going to add this type of question to my question in your last video. But there was no way I could have worded it to get a response this good.

Hope the family is doing well.

We are living similar to you. Same costs and expenses. I like your comment about how people believe what they believe, and can't see life any different.

The humor is great! I like the attitude. More then anything. I own a farm on grid, working on the off grid part now. Water is plentiful here. Solar water is going to be my priority next year. Everything I own is paid for,

They all fake disability that's how

living off grid is not easy option, its a life style and it is hard work. Trying to be self sufficient and sustainable at the same time as having to work and provide an income, especially as a single person, is extremely difficult but possible.

Nice video guys!

Looking good guys!

Living with your means is key. I learned that even living life simpler is living within your means. Pretty cool 😎. Thank you

Just sold my house. Bought 5.5 acres for $20000. Raw land. Power close by. A natural spring. Trees. Bought a camper for $5000. My Uncle is an electrician. I'll build a cabin. I'm getting out of the rat race.

Just curious at what point does the sweat investment actually just qualify as just needing something to do anyway.

I love your videos they make a lot of sense! But my wife wants to know how you deal with health insurance? This is her big hangup 😮

How many acres do you have. I bought 9.5 last year in the Ozarks . Got a well and electric ran but have not built a cabin yet. 2 more years till i retire and move there

I installed a remote starter in my wife’s jeep today. Was a little worried but I just did it. Only took me 45 minutes and it’s perfect. Zero snafoo’s …. I’ll be dipped!? Love ya love your show! Glad to see ya back. Hope all is well!

Just started out on my 40 I got septic and hulling water. Next up solar. Not having to pay rent or elc is helping a lot. For a lot of people it is hard to start doing something different from what they are used to doing. I grew up in the country. So I'm used to being on my own. And making do.

Hi

Great!! My common sense is speaking again. Hello folks. Total truth here❤❤

Good Afternoon ! Another great 1. TAKE CARE..

Hello sir, I Hope you are Well? Do you Need A Professional RUclips Thumbnail designer? Let me know please Thanks

Good Morning 7 Kin ! Hope you all had a Great Christmas. TAKE CARE..

The real question is how do you find someone honest that will sell you land you can afford in your own country!!

Watched this awesome video and then subscribed! I wonder if they have the same kind of real-estate thing here in Canada?

"The sheep spends its whole life worried about the wolf only to be eaten by the rancher." Bars. You've earned a sub with that line.

One bit of sage advice: In most states, it is considered the responsibility of the BUYER of a piece of land to find out what Easements and restrictions exist on the property before the sale. If the seller retains mineral rights and they find something like natural gas on the property, they can literally force you to move buildings, demolish fences, driveways etc. You may not even have legal access to the parcel. Do your own Due Dilligence on any property you are serious about by doing a records search at the county the property is located in before making an offer.

Help him out by 👍 other comments.

You are the most REAL person I've seen so far on Utubeeeee that makes TOTAL sense!!! Thanks man. I'm looking at selling my tiny business and investing in a property. I am not sure where, but I LOVE the 4 seasons. Until I get into them?????? I want a big hill that I can set up a hang gliding and paragliding school at. OH,, And use myself. LOL I also want to have a stream running through it for multiple purposes. Energy generation, water supply, and beauty. Hill must be more than 1000 ft high above ground level at least. No obstructions in front of it to create wind turbulence. Hope you're taking notes. LOL..... I need your knowledge and will watch ALL your vids very soon. I will now binge watch your channel!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 58 now living in AZ. HATE the summers, but LOVE the winters. It's all give and take. I just need to find out what I can take, and I know 30 days of 115 are NOT it!!!!!!!!!!

Voice lessons!!!! That's where you should be!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL But seriously,, Thank you so much. I have 33 years experience in copier machine repair. Most small communities don't have someone like that locally and have to wait a week or more for repairs. Schools and municipalities. I know, because I used to serve a small community and was called out to others that I had to charge too much to travel to. I need to reach out and find the need in an area that I could be useful in with my high tech abilities. Then find land near enough to there to meet the need. Thanks again so much. You rock dude!!!!!! I just started watching your vids. LOVE your attitude. I may even start a utube thingy. I've heard it isn't much money, but hey,,, every little bit helps!!!!! Kinda gets ya off the couch too.

"when I haven't even a pot which to make tinkle" I love how weird this guy is.

I just have to wonder. How does one make money once moving away from the city? I'm all in if I can do that.

I am happy to hear that the utility companies are going to have a change of heart. I say it's about time actually. It's never happened before in my 58 years. Such an amazing time to be alive!!!!! LOL

I don’t want to steak 7 Kin Homestead’s thunder, but I started a similar journey about 18 years ago for my off grid retirement home. Bottom line is that the best time to do something like this was yesterday. The second best time is Right Now. It takes longer than you think but getting your property and getting stuck in kind of forces you to put one foot in front of the other until you get something comfortable and livable…. At which point you’ll have another problem: Keeping moving because it’s Comfortable and Livable and finishing all the little jobs and finish work to make it nice. If you can find unrestricted land in your area, you won the lottery. Everywhere else, you’ll be dealing with the county sooner than later. Water, and everything to do with it will be your biggest problem, biggest cost, and biggest hindrance. It was 15 years before I got a well on my property-that alone changed it from a place I could go to a Place I Could Be. Dragging water with us for all of our cooking, cleaning, and hygiene needs, heating all of that water with fuel that had to be bought (or cut, split and stacked if it wasn’t winter) the cost of the well, the cost in solar watts to get the water out of the ground,….. water is your biggest challenge. Little by little though, you end up with a place to keep the rain and snow off of you that has grid equivalent DIY’d solar power, high speed internet from cell towers or starlink, cheap propane on demand hot water, and you start taking less and less with you on your trips to go work on or enjoy the property. I won’t preach that you should be DIY’ing everything on an off-grid life-some people don’t have a knack for some tasks, but remember that everything you touch was made by man from materials that came from the earth-you can figure it out too with a little internet help. Some things make more sense to just pay for or buy outright-for me, that was my cabin. I would have taken far too long and spent too much money in gas and wear and tear on vehicles to end up with a cabin not as nice as the Amish would build for me…… but I DIY’d my solar setup and saved many, many thousands of dollars that way. Today I can comfortably live at my cabin for nothing more than taxes, food and insurance. It’s a great feeling to have done it pay-as-you-go and know that I have a backup plan if things got really bad with my health or the economy and I had to pick up stakes and move there. If I had a work from home type career, I could TOTALLY manage that. It’s not hard… you just put one foot out and take a step, then put another one in front of it-but if this speaks to you, make a plan and move in that direction Right Now.

You are absolutely awesome 👏🏽 new sub coming thru with my little dance

i hear ya. what you are spending just to maintain, falls away when you get to ''your land'' insurances, taxes, fees, day today you don't even realize. you kids are cleared eyed and putting one boot in front of the other. i believe your grandparents are smiling; wherever they me be...

a used rv for /3 k a running truck /prepaid. 100+ acres /50k to millions dog food we'll see i am retiring this spring. start cheap, move on up. just like the jeffersons...

It cost how much you have to spend the more money you have the easier it will be there now at least you have an answer to the title the one he didn't answer CLICK BAIT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice to see you back been wondering where you been

I mean no offense by this. Just want to offer some feedback as a person who's enjoyed your content in the past. The recent videos have all felt like advertisements with very little meat to them. You titled this video "How Much Does it Cost to Live Off Grid?" and not only did you not answer that question, but you turned the video into an advertisement for an ebook that also doesn't offer the answer. RUclips is largely psychology in that you train your audience to expect things from you. I've always clicked on your videos because you trained me to expect some value being shown in it. You're starting to train me to want to click on the "not interested" button which largely hurts your algorithmic push. I haven't done that yet because I hope these last few videos that didn't really answer the questions all that well are just temporary as you find your voice but just felt I should share this in case it helps. If it doesn't, just disregard as you're ultimately the driver of this channel. Just want to see y'all succeed and wish y'all the best as someone who will (hopefully) be living a similar lifestyle to yourselves soon. edit: feel free to delete this after you've read it. I take no offense :P
