    I have been very anxious wondering why you haven't been on in at least a month. I was fearful something bad happened... You will be MISSED, you bring educational information and share the good and the bad. I kinda live vicariously watching your WONDERFUL FAMILY experiencing homesteading. I appreciate your encouragement. Also, Michigan here. ❤

    THIS!!!!!! Oh my goodness I relate so much to this. Over the past 2.5 years of making videos for me, there has been such a mental process behind the scenes. My husband doesn't want to be on my videos anymore and so when I film, it really has to be just me in the room or outside for the most part. It has to be on my days off of work which is when I try so hard to be present with my family and things just need to get done. I've stopped filming if it's stressful or takes away from the enjoyment. It's such a balance to make it all happen. You guys have done such a great job growing your channel and people adore you, myself included! I look forward to seeing your videos and coming along this journey with your family. I absolutely LOVE that you guys have taken this moment to step back and reevaluate so you can move forward with a more clear head and direction of what you want this to be for your family. I'm here for you guys, cheering you on in all facets of your lives! ❤

    Do what you need to! Sometimes being a content creator on youtube is a lot like being a writer, and you will get writers block. Its good to take a few steps back if you need it to sort out the stress and anxiety. And as you unwind and relax you will come to the conclusion if you really want to continue or not. And if you don’t want to you shouldn’t be forces into it because that will affect the quality of your product. If you want to stop by all means enjoy yourself, and if there is ever an event you wish to share you will have all of these people here waiting for you.

    I really enjoy your valuable content. I get that filming and setting up a video can be hard. I would love more simple videos, too. Even if you don't put out a super informative, well set up video- like just a raw "day on the homestead type of video" with minimal setting up shots/editing and showing basic things you do on your homestead day to day- that would also be enjoyable and relatable to watch.

    I totally understand about wanting to just enjoy homesteading without having the camera there, focusing on the angle, etc... i did catch that you said that you'll explain this or that in another video... I look forward to that!
    Maybe you don't have to quit completely, just make videos when you feel like making them, or/and when there's a topic you want to cover!

    I love this channel but completely understand. We'd all be better off if we took a step away from social media. It's soul sucking.

    I think you should if it's not beneficial to your life. 4 kids animals and just being together with each other is hard enough. We have a small farm and raised 4 girls that are grown and married with children and surprised by a boy 13 years ago. Life is hard I also homeschool.

    Don’t quit on the community you created but I respect your decision. You will always be my favorite homesteader and the best example of a Christian man leading a godly life with his family and his farm animals.
    Maybe once a month?
