Love ya brother lol can't build up the weak by pulling down the strong ✌️ stay vigilant yall and thanks for being in my corner....by the way THIS CHANNEL (Hillbillies) ACTUALLY KNOW US PERSONALLY ✌️ and are doing the Thang! Oh and that oven is in the outdoor kitchen and runs off propane and we did a whole video on it ✌️
We've known Doug and Stacy for several years and had the privilege to visit their home and set at their table and eat a meal that Stacy cooked on their stove. While there, we also watched Doug staining the boards for theor outdoor kitchen. Some people are just jealous and trying to up their channels.
Hillside channel popped up on my feed this morning...never seen them before. I left a lengthy comment saying the same..seems sone are jealous. It's nice to see this channel, yourself and other stick up for good people. We've all got to stick together when something is right. We are living in crazy times where good is bad and bad is called good. Haters everywhere. Be blessed friends.
I agree it's mostly jealousy. Which is flat out ridiculous. If you're homesteaders and you're jealous, you're not homesteading anymore. That means you're the Smiths and trying to keep up with the Jones family.
@Joel Benson your exactly right lol. Everyone wants to be a social media influencer now. And are mad at the people who started their channels years ago and put in the WORK.
That young couple has a lot to learn. Those of us who have been doing it for a long time don't have to work like crazy all the time and we do not need all the dodads that they seem to think they need. My great grandma raised a mess of kids without running water and no electricity either.
It's obvious Doug and Stacy have worked hard to get their place organized and functioning smoothly. Doug has talked about changes he had to make to improve their place so it runs smoother. These people on the video clearly haven't watched many of their videos. Doug and Stacy are also working to teach and give back to the community.
That lady can’t survive without cabinets and countertops? How sad! My mother raised the first five of us children in a house with no insulation, cooking on a potbelly wood stove. Our water came from a pump in the backyard. She washed clothes in a galvanized tub with a scrub board. The only cabinet was one of those freestanding units that had the flour sifter built in. We had electricity--one lightbulb that hung from the ceiling in the living room, which was also my parents bedroom. We managed just fine! If she ever has to do without, she will be totally lost!
obviously its impossible to survive the way we (and generations before us) were raised. we must all have died years ago. as she said in the video, your too busy, you dont have time to make video's. yet she found the time to make a video bitching about another channel. karen needs to move back to the city where she can be taken care of.
@Peggy Lee, in the video he says the name of the channel. They are "outting" fake youtubers but are going by opinion with zero facts. Looks like controlled opposition to me.
Doug and Stacy built a great homestead. They worked hard and is showing/teaching others that they can do the same. I am thankful for people like them. I pray they continue. Thank you for standing up for them. They are fantastic people
Doug and Stacy, They are definitely off grid. I have watched them through their Journey. Jealousy is never a good place to be. I will always follow Doug and Stacy, Stacy has taught me to ferment foods and plant, I have 6 of the same raised beds that Doug builds by watching his videos.
Doug and Stacy are absolutely amazing people. They have a heart for people, they give so much of them selves. They are excellent teachers. They are genuine. I remember when Doug visited you. Whoever these people are they are a trolls to the extreme that’s all I can say. Their opinions stink. And PS I have a toaster oven in my cabin. Lol. Anyhow. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
I enjoy Doug and Staceys channel Any one that truly believes that there will be a SHTF event is NOT going to show where all their supplies are at My great grandparents lived a few miles out of Homedale never did have running water or indoor bathroom They passed away early 1970 the entire house was smaller than kitchens nowadays They were Homesteaders
As a youngster i remember the outhouse and a outside handpump A heater in the living room and the bedroom had a blanket in the doorway You didn't waste heat in a bedroom I'm afraid we have become soft incomparison to our ancestors
Geez, wake up man those two don't grow 90% of their groceries, smh, she has what 3 small raised beds for gardening and a few sheep. In other videos she admitted to going into town and buying groceries and doing laundry while trying to make her viewers believe she washes them out back by hand. Her husband lies a lot about many things and it will be their downfall someday. This is my opinion and if want to argue and stick up for folks you never met and don't know, do it, cuz I'm not interested.
@@tamtam777 but yet you just stuck up for someone you didnt know . Imo doug and stacey share valuable knowledge. That video by hillside homestead shared nothing useful or helpful, and was just downright nasty and hateful. A lot of stuff from d&s was taken out of context. And I'll bet that smear video by hillside homestead got them their most views ever. Doug gives away a truck to get views. Hillside homestead shit talks others to get views. It seems like u think the definition of living off grid is doing the most difficult chores ever, all the time.
@@jayfassett5631 you said it-Doug has to give away a truck for views...living off the grid independently, and running a working farm is hard work...I know this because I grew up this way on my grandparent's farm so until you have lived this lifestyle don't bother telling me what I should believe...
People say I live poor, I call it living simple.. The older you get the more you know and learn to live simple.. Down sizing. You know what it feels good to live simple. Doug and Stacy just tries to teach what they've learned over the years. Love this video thank you Blessings to you and your wife
I don't know, the older I get, the more stuff I'm accumulating to make daily chores and things easier. Due to not being able to some of the things I used to do.
Plus, they ferment a lot of food. Not can. They clearly don't follow the channel. The attack on their religious beliefs didn't sit well with me either. Both Doug and Stacy have talked about faith often.
Unfortunately if someone doesn't understand the faith, they dont catch the parrable way of speaking. How sad of them to jump on another person's way of sharing their beliefs.
Thanks for speaking out on this - that was such a ridiculous video. We love Doug & Stacy’s life lessons & have implemented them on our new homestead. Anyway, we’re glad we found your channel! New subscribers here :)
Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen the video but it sounds like they haven't watched many of Doug and Stacy's vids. I think Ms. Kitty said it nicely, they are naive. So sad people feel they need to attack others. Thank you for speaking out in support of Doug's character and the legitimacy of Doug and Stacy's true life! Bless you and Ms. Kitty! ❤
Wow ! We still have a metal desk with a piece of plywood on it for a kitchen table. It's been 26 years ! I had scaffolding for cupboards for a lot of years. Crazy people think you have to have a big beautiful kitchen that's crap ! What's gonna happen to her "functional" kitchen if SHTF ???? I like Doug & Stacy ! I like yalls videos too. Just regular people !! God bless yall !! Hi miss Kitty !
Amen! I’ve seen beautiful kitchens whose owner couldn’t cook, and it didn’t help the taste a bit. I’ve had awesome meals from a tiny kitchen with beat up old pots, as well. Looks or adds nothing to the end result.
I agree - my dads place looks just like yours 100% off grid- we lived in a camper with 5 kids for 3 years while “I” built everything we now have with my hands.. starting from Raw ground. You can make next to nothing work! 🙌🏽 😂 anything is do I able when you put out the effort
I slept in my vehicle, cooked on a grill using twigs, palm fronds and wood I picked up, toted my water in gal. jugs and took "whore-baths" etc. 4 years straight!! While working a full time job and a part-time job!! 😂 😂
A smart prepper would not show their preps in todays age with everything going on, maybe 5 or so yrs ago but not today, doug and stacy know their stuff. i have learned so much from stacy with fermenting and preserving
My husband Sweeper and I have a old 1870s Farmette and we've been trying to get the place warmer, and redoing one wall we found the insulation to be Old Corn Cobs...
I almost passed your video up thinking you might be one of the ones attacking Doug & Stacy. Glad I didn't. I'm a fan of theirs and now follow you as well. Doug & Stacy are REAL! I've seen all of the inside of their cabin & that other couple have no clue what they're talking about!! Doug & Stacy have FAR MORE than 3 raised garden beds!! Ignore the haters & if y'all aren't already following both this channel & Doug & Stacy's, you SHOULD!!
I watched that ridiculous video! Those two are a prime example of a lost generation - most millennials don't have a clue about real life! I've said for years that Gates, Zuckerberg and Jobs ruined an entire generation of kids! Everything to them is a tik tok, snapchat or instagram moment with perfect filters and all the modern amenities! Maybe they homestead in the Meta world LOL! You and Miss Kitty are awesome! This is my first time seeing your channel but will definitely be watching for now on!
I've only been following Doug & Stacy for a short while, but there's no question that they are the real deal!! I love watching them & appreciate very much them sharing their knowledge with us. Thank YOU for taking up for them... you are a true friend!!!
@endtimesareuponus8930 my comment on this video was to the maker of this video. If you have something to say, say it to him. I wasn't talking to you. I'm not here to argue with you... I'll just report you.
Ty for sharing. Watched Doug today, I guess he has a lawyer. Good for him ! Love Doug and Stacy. It's going to be a wake up call for many like that person when shtf. God help us we lost our way
Just came across your channel, nice of you sticking up for your friends. Hearing them loud mouth Karen's complain about Doug & Stacy. Bet you the loud mouth Karen's came from a silver/gold spoon hanging out of their mouth and decided "lets homestead "!! Unfortunately this is today's society now, lets talk shit about other people because we are clueless and ignorant of other folks!
I agree. I saw a video somewhere and they were claiming to be off grid. And they said we even have horses just in case the grid goes down. Well now that statement just said they were preppers. Not really off grid. I’ll try to remember where I saw that video.
We're building our home from scratch, started this spring. I'm only one man and we have no cabinets yet but seem to be doing just fine lol. I've been watching Doug and Stacey for years and I like their videos. Homesteading is making do with what you've got believe me I know, our whole last year has been just that. People think they need all these things to live, it's a fact that we don't need all that crap to live quite well. We planted a garden, raised a pig, and some birds. We have a wood stove, our hands are warm and our bellies are full really what more does a guy need? People are too spoiled, they think cabinets and counters are important hahaha.
Just found y’all and am a new subscriber. I’ve been following Doug and Stacy for a few years now and been catching up on their older vids. They sure seem real to me. You can watch them build and grow. They teach and show how they do it. I guess some people just want to live the city life with solar and canning and call it off grid. It’s not. Duh! Shame she thinks yelling makes it more important. Maybe she’ll learn. Doubt it. And all I have for an oven is a toaster oven and have had for nearly 10 years now. Cooking for 4 on a hot plate and this toaster oven. So much more is possible than most people think.
Been watching you and Miss Kitty for years and love you both. Holy Smokes I agree , they are not worth bothering with. There are always idiots out there that gotta cause trouble for others.
its kinda lookin like hillside homestead might be fake. I love how they faulted him for not building his cabin out of fire wood ! "why didnt he use logs from his log business?" Cause its a firewood business ? but he used a kit ! There are 0 trees around his homestead ! Someone should tell hillside homestead that logs come from trees ! not only do i believe hillside homestead is fake , they are not too bright. Im half way through their video .will not be finishing it. Thank you for your input.
Don't these people have anything better to complain about? Homesteading is different for each individual/family. Not everyone starts out with a full cook stove, building supplies and a kitchen. I have seen people that purchased land live in the back of their pickup truck bed camper while slowly building what they can. They cooked over a stone firepit outside using a steel grate and wood. I respect people that do it themselves because it is back breaking work most days. You folks aren't a reality show on TV on 24/7. I have little respect for 'Hillside Homesteading with Karen' complaining about others. Sorry for the rant
Thanks for defending our friends, Doug and Stacy, I am grateful that he helps keep us informed on what's truly going on in the world. Continue to enjoy your freedom.
Show us on the dolly where the real homesteaders hurt you. 😂 Doug and Stacy are absolute gems. I never show my preps to anyone because it ain't their business. I've told people what's coming and to prepare but they're content to keep living their lives oblivious. So glad I found your channel!💚
I enjoy Doug and Stacy and Patera....I side stepped the drama....Never heard of Hillside Homestead.....Not into channels bashing each other.....Devil doing his do diligence....🤦♀️🤷♀️
That is hilarious! Fake homesteading? As if Stacy is the authority on what homesteading is... Or isn't. Next she'll be taking you to task because you buy some groceries. Everyone does it a bit differently!
I tend to avoid the silly drama for clicks videos like the one you played here but I'll say miss kitty called that one right. As usual. In regard to the cooking/kitchen comments. I live off grid. No running water, no electricity. Not even a generator. I have one but haven't used it in 4 years. I cook on a small woodstove 7-8 months a year or a hobostove, or 1 burner propane stove or Colman stove in the warmer months. Don't have a counter or cabinets. Do 95% of my cooking at home. Anything I don't cut right into the pan or pot gets prepared on top of a 5gal bucket lid with a plank of wood on it. Even mixing and kneading bread or biscuits or pie dough. I cook that stuff in a Dutch oven on top of the woodstove. I dehydrate veg and Jerky on racks above the stove. Store what I grow in the 16ft octagon cabin I live in. That I built. I've lived this way for 13 of the last 19 years in different places. Those folks aught to try living in a canvas wall tent for awhile. That'll teach ya all the stuff you DON'T need. It's nice to have all the stuff but ya don't need it.
I have been watching Doug and Stacey for a long time. I’ve learned a lot from both of them. They really care about us. They are the real deal. They have mastered it.
I had the same reaction as Miss Kitty when I watched the video. I ran and told my husband that people were saying you can't live without a certain type of kitchen. I watched the video to hear them out but couldn't stop laughing. We are currently on the grid but in 2021 during the Texas snowstorm my husband, our 6 children and my mother-in-law all lived in our 25 by 13 living room. Our100-year-old house had almost no insulation. We cooked on our wood stove that wasn't even for cooking. Every now and then the power would come on and we would use the toaster of oven. The only time we left that room was to go to the restroom and another part of the house which was freezing cold. So it basically felt like walking to an outhouse in the winter. my kitchen was a wood stove, a bench with the toaster oven on it and a bookshelf with some canned goods stacked amongst the books. We made it just fine.
Thank you for speaking up for Doug and Stacy. I feel the same. I seen the video this morning, never seen their channel before and spoke up as well. Channels attract a different type of people I've noticed. The ones that have attacked Doug and Stacy seem negative and want to talk about other people negatively and create drama. Others speak on the negativity in the word to bring awareness so we can prepare for the REAL shit going on and being done to the world. You seem like my type of people. Be blessed.
Wow that lady sounded angry. I'm pretty sure Doug and Stacy are the real deal. I love watching them. I love Miss Kitty's calm and poise. We need more people like her.
Good for you making some noise! Love Doug and Stacy. The person you’re thinking of is Patara from Appalachian Homestead. She’s my all time fave homesteader, no offense to anyone. I just happen to be Cherokee as well, like Patara, and spent tons of time in TN through the years on family mountains. ❤️✌🏼
I was born in Kentucky in 1960. Things had gotten better by the time I came along, but my grandma, her 5 siblings and their parents survived on what animals the family could raise, what they could grow, kill, catch, barter for, and sell......if they had extra. Their shack had a dirt floor in the kitchen, a wood stove, no running water and an outhouse. The only photo that I know about of one of my great aunts is her in a giant winter coat holding a double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun, and there was probably 8 or 10 squirrel tails hanging out of the pockets of her big coat. She wasn't out shooting for the fun of it, and that wasn't a _selfie_ for "Insta." Eight people require a fair bit of food. Luckily though, they had plenty of _'cabinet space,'_ so that got them through the really bad times, and they all survived just fine. Those lost Hillside "Homesteaders" wouldn't last a week having to truly provide for themselves. The first time their Internet went out they'd call 911, or if their toilet wouldn't flush they'd move to a different house. It's frightening how disconnected and just plain dumb many people have gotten. I had a grown man come up to me at a gas station a good while ago. He asked if I knew anything about cars. I said I knew a little, and asked what the problem was. He said his brakes weren't working right. I asked if he had checked the fluid, and he actually said, _"what fluid?"_ I guess maybe I just expect too much. People can't even go camping anymore. They have to ruin it by "glamping." What the.....?? If you're gonna take all your "stuff" with you, why not just stay home where your stuff already is? Just get on RUclips and watch a video of someone else actually camping. I truly believe we're now in a time in the US where, if everything somehow suddenly stopped - no electricity, no running water, phone service, heat or well-stocked grocery stores, a huge portion of the population would just sit and starve to death after their food ran out. I can picture most people in the cities hanging out their front door, looking up and down the street and thinking, _"who's coming to save me, and when?"_ Never thinking about maybe trying to help themselves. Homesteaders my azz! If they can't get it by texting, clicking, calling, having it delivered to their front door or picking it up at a drive-thru window, they'd be finished. A day of reckoning is coming, and the herd is gonna be culled.
We watch Doug & Stacy all the time and turn to them when we have questions on project and how to do things. Never met them and it sickens me when people assume they know something about someone when in the end they don't know nothing. Like how you speak your mind and don't hold back, keep up the good work.
I feel ya. I live in a 10x20 cabin. Just one room but the way I arranged what furniture I do have makes it feel separated and cozy at the same time. My counter is short. Its only 4.5x2 and I cook on a hotplate and Instant Pot. I don’t have running water but I manage. I have electric but purposely DO NOT HAVE any television. Its all good. People can adapt. I just don’t normally cruise on off grid channels because most seem too doom and gloom for my taste. I’m wild, whimsical, chase butterflies and grow my own. Very happy woodland gal here. Don’t need drama or gloom. Rock on! 🤘
That was hilarious 😂 too much time on their hands! Miss Kitty is priceless and you are beyond funny. "Off grid trolls" really entertaining. Please keep your videos coming and if anything it's going to get you guys more subscribers. Loved it thanks for sharing.... # 1 Idaho Hillbilly and Miss 😺 you rock!!
Glad you spoke up and did this video,all of you that have come out of the system of things have encouraged us that are struggling to do the same and have learned alot from Doug ans Stacy and channels like yours.Keep on sticking together.
Was Doug and Stacy little cabin build that inspired me to build my little cabin, I'm going to keep adding onto it and build something that I will eventually live full time in. For now it's still a dream and a getaway from the madness
New to your channel. I’m building my off grid farm. I only have a countertop with 2x6 boards on milk crates for shelves. One 2 door cabinet holding up the countertop. Not living there full times yet, but am there 3-4 days a week. Have to be in civilization for my grandson. My farm is over an hour away and gas is too high to go back and forth more often. I have a neighbor that helps me with my chickens when I’m not there. That’s called community. Those people won’t make it in a grid down. Bless their hearts. I learned a ton from Doug and Stacy. WOW!
Lol!! From what I can tell Hillside Homesteading is a "Glitter & Glory" channel that has resorted to mudslinging to gain popularity....wrong move...lol. All I can say is you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig..lol. P.S. Kittys reaction to the video was priceless!!! Loved it!! I like your channel because it isnt labeled. You are what you are and you do what you do...no smoke and mirrors needed! Have a good one!
I just wish Stacey also had her own channel. Doug cuts her off in most of their videos and Doug is mostly about politics and worldly stuff now. I started watching their channel for homesteading tips. Wth?
Shit my grandmother was a mail order bride and she was Amish herself, I remember her canning on a wood cook stove and cooking all 4 seasons on that wood cook stove everyday. And now part of my house I live in the living room was part of a log cabin that my other grandmother used to live in one room no bathroom she had her kids and there was 5 of them , and when my dad built onto the house I am living in now shit he went down to his mothers place brought up the chicken coop and the goat house and attached it to the cabin to make extra rooms an one of the bedrooms does not have insulation in the walls the other one has book pages and sawdust in the walls. And we used to have a wood cook stove in this house I am in now but went more modern since grandma passed away But everything still standing and I am living in it as well i write this message.
I just found your channel! So excited to find a fellow Idahoan!! I'm in Southern Idaho. Thank you for calling out those idiots!! I love Doug and Stacy!! I don't think any one has the right to make these outrageous claims especially just to try and get views cuz no one has ever heard of them
Good video Man! The rainbow scalleywags are madder than a wet hen at Doug and Stacy you know they gonna make stuff up. Stay warm, spring times almost here.
We use a campers oven on our wood stove for baking , oven quit working on our gas stove. Our counter is 5' long. My barn house has a little over 800 sq ft. It would be nice to have more room but then I'd have to cut more firewood to heat it.
So glad you’re addressing this. That couple of weirdos are nut jobs. Seems like they popped up out of nowhere. Just listen to that crazy woman rant and make a complete fool of herself. 🤦♀️ Doug and Stacy are awesome. So real. Nothing more needs to be said.
I have a video coming out tonight where I'm talking about how Doug and Stacey have really impacted my life through the years it was actually Doug who gave me a lot of information and encouragement Six years ago I'm also mentioning your name as well and I'll make sure I link your channel to tonight's video
I don't think Doug and Stacy are fake homesteaders. Last time I checked there wasn't a rule book for homesteading. Some people just think that if you don't do it the way they do, you're doing it wrong. As far as cooking goes, I lived in a garage and cooked on a kerosene heater. You make due with what you got. Where's your store at? I'm just north of Council.
A truly entertaining you-tube channel that you offer n from many perspectives , ENJOYN YALL FROM SOUTH CAROLINA , WER ALL MY NEIBORS ARE TREES !!!! KEEP DOIN WAT YOU DO !!! YEE YEE !!!
We live in a house that was built in 1904. There was horsehair and mud plaster in the upstairs bedrooms. Like you my brother is in construction and he said I'm building on top of it because that's one of the best insulations you can have
I just started listening to you and you’re entertaining! I wish we were younger to even consider living off grid. Our yard keeps us very busy, and we will just continue to enjoy watching and learning new things from all of you 😊 You guys stay healthy and happy!
Picture of our old homestead house in Idaho County history book was old in 1907. Walls are hollow with pack rats and wood peckers. House floor drops off from settling. We actually think we are living pretty fancy. Spring water in the kitchen and bathroom.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I think one of those videos was the one that made me subscribe. So glad I did! You and miss Kitty have a great day and I look forward for more videos!!
When folks start insulting other people and calling them all sorts of names, I have no interest in anything that they have to say! Thank you for being a decent human being!
There is a tremendous difference in Mountain Men/ Women and Doug n Stacy. I think you guys are all real I watch Doug n Stacy I really like them. Still very different from you'll! All of you have true grit and are smart enough to know what is coming. The rest of the states are going to be in big trouble. You are correct in that when things get truly bad and people are starving they will be attacking those that are not very very sad here in our country
Thank you for your video. Funny is that this Hillside Homestead has evidently removed their video about Doug and Stacy. They probably got a rude awakening!! Love y’all’s channel
Absolutely. Help and love one another! Doug and Stacy are one of a kind! Keep fighting the good fight! Wow, I can't believe someone thinks that living off grid is fake!!! Wow shame on them.
I was born poor. I seen my mom cook on a wash tub turned upside down propped up on rocks over an open fire. Mom never had running water until I joined the army & sent her money to put one in. Used cardboard for insulation if you had any at all. Never had indoor plumbing until I joined the army.That was in 1989.Remember one summer of eggs, greens, beans and new potatoes. If we had have had gas, electric, etc we dad gum sure would have used them... so off grid is subjective.
Found you a few years back thru Dusty (Alabama Pickers - RIP, Dusty and Tris 💔). Thanks for doing this vid - I refused to increase the algorithms of HH harpies channel by clicking on their nonsense. Doug and Stacy are the completely legit. As far as not a real kitchen, in the 1980s my great-gran was still living in a two room house - just a main room and a bedroom, the rooms separated by a quilt instead of a door - built in the late 1800s. When I was in college she still had no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no solar and no generator. She was still doing all her cooking/baking/canning all on her wood stove, using an outhouse, had a stocked cellar and was drawing her water from a cistern, and lived just shy of 100. She taught me how to live completely off grid.
Just wandered In because your hat got my attention! The drama is too bad. People are judging too quickly these days! Live and let live for the folks questioning channels. I like your style Sir!
Enjoyed your video, have a two brothers in Salmon Idaho. Beautiful Country there. I'm glad you brought to attention about people living with out running water and cooking out side . I live in Kentucky and have lived with out many things. No plumbing out side bath room wood heat ext. It has been done for hundreds of years.
I saw that hater video as well and left my 2 cents more than once, sad to see folks pushing nonsense and even more sad how many in that comment section willing to accept the lies those ppl were selling without ANY proof whatsoever. Humanity has fallen so far!! I'm glad Doug says his peace and doesn't back off a bit and I hope he and Stacy both realize how many have their backs!
Maybe there is such a thing as poor homesteading and middle class homesteading, just as it is in the city. Just because you’re off grid, doesn’t mean you have to live it hard. They are still practicing living OFF GRID, but in a modern way that better comforts today’s living.
Thank you for sharing your opinion about the hillside hillbilly video. This is a time where we all need to come together to share our knowledge and skills that make us all ungovernable. People who tear others down are to be pitied. Doug and Stacey are 100% the real deal. They are true patriots and people of God who give from their hearts. Stay vigilant people. God bless us all.
All can say is thank you for exposing peoples lack of knowledge of survival and what it takes just to live in comfort! I'm not sure if you notice but that ladies voice puts her in a different generation she has no real knowledge of your alls life experience!
I came here from Homestead Tessie's video on this drama. It appears that Hillside Homesteading has deleted that video. That'll teach you. I don't understand why they would think criticizing an established RUclips channel would get them new followers. They had a few extra views, but if anything, it will drive people away. The homesteading community is all about building up each other so we can all be prepared for our government's destruction of the American dream.
Adapt is right..lol ...and there sure is alot of attacking other content makers, malice, hatred..and they're making money off of it. I won't participate!! World has gone mad! 😢
Wow you got to be kidding me. I've been 100% off grid for 6 years over here in Eastern washington. I don't have a counter top. I use the top of my dresser and hope chest for my counter. I cook in my wood stove and on my woodstove. You don't need no oven to cook. I don't have plumbing in my house I haul my water from my spring. That lady hit a nerve with me. She's absolutely ignorant. And why in the world does she care how others are living and providing for themselves. I own 20 acres it's not all gardens. Just because someone doesn't show you everything they do and have doesn't mean they are fake. I feel for Doug and Stacy. That other couple making waves they need to get some type of hobby other then putting others down
The lady's channel is "Appalachia's Homestead with Patara." I'm subbed to her and "Off Grid With Doug And Stacey." I just figure it's their battle, not mine. I have enough of my own battles to wage.
Its not them that is spreading lies..it is that other you tube channel. That couple is the ones telling lies about Doug and Stacey. Yes Doug and Stacey snd Patara had a problem.. I believe it was a Big misunderstanding that took place. Plus there were other people actually causing trouble...satan at work. I pray for Patara and Doug and Stacey that God will heal whatever caused the problem in the first place. But this other thing..is some other channel spreading lies. That one is the one Doug is bringing a law suit against. They need to be stopped!! Be careful, be cautious, be mindful, be watchful, be prepared, above all PRAY.🙏📖🛐🕊️ show ❤️ like Jesus then if need be 🔫🏹 then victory 🙌🙌
I don’t know anything about the other channel but I was raised if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. I’ll be praying for them. I love Doug and Stacy and have learned a lot. I’ll also add that I’m a new subscriber here. I’ll be praying for all y’all too just because. 🙂 God bless y’all and have a good one.
Bro I wish I could say that can’t believe all of the (let’s call it) trash talk, people need to get over themselves and it sounds like pure jealousy. I don’t know Doug and Stacy personally and yes I watch their channel everyday as it is one of the most useful channels that I take the time out of my day to watch and will continue to as long as they are teaching the homestead way of life. Same as with my new found friends the Idaho Hillbilly and His better half Miss Kitty they are the salt of life and share and teach the Hillbilly way of life and between them all yea they are friends that I have never met as of yet but I will one day soon and until then just always remember y’all never stand alone my friend as this is one Hillbilly to another just saying you never stand alone as y’all have a friend in this Hillbilly God Bless and stay alive!!!
Just found you while researching homesteaders on youtube! Hi to you and Miss Kitty! Have a great weekend. Blessings! Oh, and I love Doug and Stacy and all you other homesteaders out there. I'm learning from all of you!
New here! I love Doug and Stacy. I have both her books and have tried some of the recipes. I saw the video and was shocked. That lady is just pure jealous that she does not have her life under control like Doug and Stacy. My grandparents never had running water. Their woodstove had a water reserve, so there was always hot water. It also heated the house. They did not have cabinets in their house. I remember things in the hallway to hold the dishes. The water used came down the mountain into a creek in their backyard. Their refrigerator was an ice box on the front porch til years later when they got electricity. My grandpa had a hole cut into the ceiling that allowed heat to go upstairs to the bedrooms. They had a little brown shack for the bathroom. I have my grandparents old wooden wash machine that they used as well as mom for years. I live where Amish live and no electricity, running water, etc. Their transportation is horse and buggy. . Doug and Stacy have their outdoor kitchen, which is bigger than my regular kitchen. I store my cast iron in my oven til I am ready to use them because I do not have enough storage in my kitchen. Heck, you make do with what you got and you make it work.
I love Doug and Stacey too. They are real truthful people. I too store my cast iron in my gas oven. Cause no room for it anywhere else. Don't have cabinet for them. Plus the heat keeps the pots from rusting. A win win . Be careful, be cautious, be mindful, be watchful be prepared, above all PRAY.🙏📖🛐🕊️ show ❤️ like Jesus then if need be 🔫🏹 then victory 🙌🙌
Love ya brother lol can't build up the weak by pulling down the strong ✌️ stay vigilant yall and thanks for being in my corner....by the way THIS CHANNEL (Hillbillies) ACTUALLY KNOW US PERSONALLY ✌️ and are doing the Thang!
Oh and that oven is in the outdoor kitchen and runs off propane and we did a whole video on it ✌️
Keep up the good videos Doug and Stacy, we love you guys here . 👊
Always👍🤠👍
That Hillside video… I couldn’t even comment on it. Didn’t even thumbs down it. 😵💫
Hi Doug & Stacy..this just popped up to watch. New sub here.
..
I've enjoyed your channel, love the little cabin
We've known Doug and Stacy for several years and had the privilege to visit their home and set at their table and eat a meal that Stacy cooked on their stove. While there, we also watched Doug staining the boards for theor outdoor kitchen. Some people are just jealous and trying to up their channels.
Agreed
Hillside channel popped up on my feed this morning...never seen them before. I left a lengthy comment saying the same..seems sone are jealous. It's nice to see this channel, yourself and other stick up for good people. We've all got to stick together when something is right. We are living in crazy times where good is bad and bad is called good. Haters everywhere. Be blessed friends.
why do you feel it's a privilege to visit these folks?
I agree it's mostly jealousy. Which is flat out ridiculous. If you're homesteaders and you're jealous, you're not homesteading anymore. That means you're the Smiths and trying to keep up with the Jones family.
@Joel Benson your exactly right lol. Everyone wants to be a social media influencer now. And are mad at the people who started their channels years ago and put in the WORK.
That young couple has a lot to learn. Those of us who have been doing it for a long time don't have to work like crazy all the time and we do not need all the dodads that they seem to think they need. My great grandma raised a mess of kids without running water and no electricity either.
It's obvious Doug and Stacy have worked hard to get their place organized and functioning smoothly. Doug has talked about changes he had to make to improve their place so it runs smoother. These people on the video clearly haven't watched many of their videos.
Doug and Stacy are also working to teach and give back to the community.
😂😂😂😂😂Doug & Stacey are clearly CONS and you've completely fallen for their 🐂💩
Lol.
That lady can’t survive without cabinets and countertops? How sad! My mother raised the first five of us children in a house with no insulation, cooking on a potbelly wood stove. Our water came from a pump in the backyard. She washed clothes in a galvanized tub with a scrub board. The only cabinet was one of those freestanding units that had the flour sifter built in. We had electricity--one lightbulb that hung from the ceiling in the living room, which was also my parents bedroom. We managed just fine! If she ever has to do without, she will be totally lost!
obviously its impossible to survive the way we (and generations before us) were raised. we must all have died years ago. as she said in the video, your too busy, you dont have time to make video's.
yet she found the time to make a video bitching about another channel.
karen needs to move back to the city where she can be taken care of.
That was hilarious
That Lady.. What lady.. I'm new I don't understand?
@Peggy Lee, in the video he says the name of the channel. They are "outting" fake youtubers but are going by opinion with zero facts. Looks like controlled opposition to me.
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY ,
Funny that I just found this channel!
Even funnier that you guys found this channel!!!!!
💖😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄💖
Doug and Stacy built a great homestead. They worked hard and is showing/teaching others that they can do the same. I am thankful for people like them. I pray they continue. Thank you for standing up for them. They are fantastic people
Doug and Stacy are very real and honest!!
Doug and Stacy, They are definitely off grid. I have watched them through their Journey. Jealousy is never a good place to be. I will always follow Doug and Stacy, Stacy has taught me to ferment foods and plant, I have 6 of the same raised beds that Doug builds by watching his videos.
Doug and Stacy are absolutely amazing people. They have a heart for people, they give so much of them selves. They are excellent teachers. They are genuine. I remember when Doug visited you.
Whoever these people are they are a trolls to the extreme that’s all I can say. Their opinions stink.
And PS I have a toaster oven in my cabin. Lol. Anyhow.
Love you guys.
Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
i like Doug and Stacy. they tell everyone just like it is. and Doug was right about TSC being woke joke.
I enjoy Doug and Staceys channel Any one that truly believes that there will be a SHTF event is NOT going to show where all their supplies are at My great grandparents lived a few miles out of Homedale never did have running water or indoor bathroom They passed away early 1970 the entire house was smaller than kitchens nowadays They were Homesteaders
Buddies grandpa had a house with a hand pump well in the kitchen, and an outhouse out back .. in the 90’s still. 😁
As a youngster i remember the outhouse and a outside handpump A heater in the living room and the bedroom had a blanket in the doorway You didn't waste heat in a bedroom I'm afraid we have become soft incomparison to our ancestors
Geez, wake up man those two don't grow 90% of their groceries, smh, she has what 3 small raised beds for gardening and a few sheep. In other videos she admitted to going into town and buying groceries and doing laundry while trying to make her viewers believe she washes them out back by hand. Her husband lies a lot about many things and it will be their downfall someday. This is my opinion and if want to argue and stick up for folks you never met and don't know, do it, cuz I'm not interested.
@@tamtam777 but yet you just stuck up for someone you didnt know . Imo doug and stacey share valuable knowledge. That video by hillside homestead shared nothing useful or helpful, and was just downright nasty and hateful. A lot of stuff from d&s was taken out of context. And I'll bet that smear video by hillside homestead got them their most views ever. Doug gives away a truck to get views. Hillside homestead shit talks others to get views. It seems like u think the definition of living off grid is doing the most difficult chores ever, all the time.
@@jayfassett5631 you said it-Doug has to give away a truck for views...living off the grid independently, and running a working farm is hard work...I know this because I grew up this way on my grandparent's farm so until you have lived this lifestyle don't bother telling me what I should believe...
People say I live poor, I call it living simple..
The older you get the more you know and learn to live simple.. Down sizing.
You know what it feels good to live simple.
Doug and Stacy just tries to teach what they've learned over the years.
Love this video thank you
Blessings to you and your wife
The Lord says we don’t all have to live simple. The Lord can bless with abundance and some of us appreciate having such.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 show me the scripture maam.
I've also learned the older I get, I really don't need all the " stuff" I thought I did
I don't know, the older I get, the more stuff I'm accumulating to make daily chores and things easier. Due to not being able to some of the things I used to do.
They overlooked that Doug and Stacy have an outdoor kitchen that I'm sure can be used several months out of the year.
Plus, they ferment a lot of food. Not can. They clearly don't follow the channel. The attack on their religious beliefs didn't sit well with me either. Both Doug and Stacy have talked about faith often.
I agree, clear they don't follow them.
Unfortunately if someone doesn't understand the faith, they dont catch the parrable way of speaking. How sad of them to jump on another person's way of sharing their beliefs.
Thanks for speaking out on this - that was such a ridiculous video. We love Doug & Stacy’s life lessons & have implemented them on our new homestead. Anyway, we’re glad we found your channel! New subscribers here :)
Thank You and WELCOME 🤠😸
Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen the video but it sounds like they haven't watched many of Doug and Stacy's vids. I think Ms. Kitty said it nicely, they are naive. So sad people feel they need to attack others. Thank you for speaking out in support of Doug's character and the legitimacy of Doug and Stacy's true life! Bless you and Ms. Kitty! ❤
Thank You 🤠😸
Wow ! We still have a metal desk with a piece of plywood on it for a kitchen table. It's been 26 years ! I had scaffolding for cupboards for a lot of years. Crazy people think you have to have a big beautiful kitchen that's crap ! What's gonna happen to her "functional" kitchen if SHTF ???? I like Doug & Stacy ! I like yalls videos too. Just regular people !! God bless yall !!
Hi miss Kitty !
AMEN
Amen! I’ve seen beautiful kitchens whose owner couldn’t cook, and it didn’t help the taste a bit. I’ve had awesome meals from a tiny kitchen with beat up old pots, as well. Looks or adds nothing to the end result.
I've been watching Doug and Stacey for years and years. They're the real thing!
I agree - my dads place looks just like yours 100% off grid- we lived in a camper with 5 kids for 3 years while “I” built everything we now have with my hands..
starting from Raw ground. You can make next to nothing work! 🙌🏽 😂 anything is do I able when you put out the effort
RiversideHomesteadLife@gmail.com
If ya ever wanna chat
I slept in my vehicle, cooked on a grill using twigs, palm fronds and wood I picked up, toted my water in gal. jugs and took "whore-baths" etc. 4 years straight!! While working a full time job and a part-time job!! 😂 😂
A smart prepper would not show their preps in todays age with everything going on, maybe 5 or so yrs ago but not today, doug and stacy know their stuff. i have learned so much from stacy with fermenting and preserving
You said that better than I could. ❤
My husband Sweeper and I have a old 1870s Farmette and we've been trying to get the place warmer, and redoing one wall we found the insulation to be Old Corn Cobs...
I almost passed your video up thinking you might be one of the ones attacking Doug & Stacy. Glad I didn't. I'm a fan of theirs and now follow you as well. Doug & Stacy are REAL! I've seen all of the inside of their cabin & that other couple have no clue what they're talking about!! Doug & Stacy have FAR MORE than 3 raised garden beds!! Ignore the haters & if y'all aren't already following both this channel & Doug & Stacy's, you SHOULD!!
Welcome aboard!
I watched that ridiculous video! Those two are a prime example of a lost generation - most millennials don't have a clue about real life! I've said for years that Gates, Zuckerberg and Jobs ruined an entire generation of kids! Everything to them is a tik tok, snapchat or instagram moment with perfect filters and all the modern amenities! Maybe they homestead in the Meta world LOL! You and Miss Kitty are awesome! This is my first time seeing your channel but will definitely be watching for now on!
Thank You and WELCOME 🤠😸
I've only been following Doug & Stacy for a short while, but there's no question that they are the real deal!! I love watching them & appreciate very much them sharing their knowledge with us. Thank YOU for taking up for them... you are a true friend!!!
@endtimesareuponus8930 I'm not sure what you're replying has to do with my comment. 🤔
@endtimesareuponus8930 my comment on this video was to the maker of this video. If you have something to say, say it to him. I wasn't talking to you. I'm not here to argue with you... I'll just report you.
Ty for sharing. Watched Doug today, I guess he has a lawyer. Good for him ! Love Doug and Stacy. It's going to be a wake up call for many like that person when shtf. God help us we lost our way
Love Doug and Stacy... and appreciate them sharing and educating us.
Just came across your channel, nice of you sticking up for your friends. Hearing them loud mouth Karen's complain about Doug & Stacy. Bet you the loud mouth Karen's came from a silver/gold spoon hanging out of their mouth and decided "lets homestead "!! Unfortunately this is today's society now, lets talk shit about other people because we are clueless and ignorant of other folks!
AMEN!!! Thank You for coming by and WELCOME 🤠😸
I agree. I saw a video somewhere and they were claiming to be off grid. And they said we even have horses just in case the grid goes down. Well now that statement just said they were preppers. Not really off grid. I’ll try to remember where I saw that video.
We're building our home from scratch, started this spring. I'm only one man and we have no cabinets yet but seem to be doing just fine lol. I've been watching Doug and Stacey for years and I like their videos. Homesteading is making do with what you've got believe me I know, our whole last year has been just that. People think they need all these things to live, it's a fact that we don't need all that crap to live quite well. We planted a garden, raised a pig, and some birds. We have a wood stove, our hands are warm and our bellies are full really what more does a guy need? People are too spoiled, they think cabinets and counters are important hahaha.
Just found y’all and am a new subscriber. I’ve been following Doug and Stacy for a few years now and been catching up on their older vids. They sure seem real to me. You can watch them build and grow. They teach and show how they do it. I guess some people just want to live the city life with solar and canning and call it off grid. It’s not. Duh! Shame she thinks yelling makes it more important. Maybe she’ll learn. Doubt it. And all I have for an oven is a toaster oven and have had for nearly 10 years now. Cooking for 4 on a hot plate and this toaster oven. So much more is possible than most people think.
Been watching you and Miss Kitty for years and love you both. Holy Smokes I agree , they are not worth bothering with. There are always idiots out there that gotta cause trouble for others.
Nope. I say hit them in the pocketbook. Slander suit big time
That lady is a couple fries short of a happy meal. Doug and Stacy are pretty up front
I think she is missing all the fries and the toy also.
No doubt
its kinda lookin like hillside homestead might be fake. I love how they faulted him for not building his cabin out of fire wood ! "why didnt he use logs from his log business?" Cause its a firewood business ? but he used a kit ! There are 0 trees around his homestead ! Someone should tell hillside homestead that logs come from trees ! not only do i believe hillside homestead is fake , they are not too bright. Im half way through their video .will not be finishing it. Thank you for your input.
Don't these people have anything better to complain about? Homesteading is different for each individual/family. Not everyone starts out with a full cook stove, building supplies and a kitchen. I have seen people that purchased land live in the back of their pickup truck bed camper while slowly building what they can. They cooked over a stone firepit outside using a steel grate and wood. I respect people that do it themselves because it is back breaking work most days. You folks aren't a reality show on TV on 24/7. I have little respect for 'Hillside Homesteading with Karen' complaining about others. Sorry for the rant
Howdy folks, Doug and Stacy said come watch y'all so here we are. 😁👍
Thanks for defending our friends, Doug and Stacy, I am grateful that he helps keep us informed on what's truly going on in the world. Continue to enjoy your freedom.
Show us on the dolly where the real homesteaders hurt you. 😂 Doug and Stacy are absolute gems. I never show my preps to anyone because it ain't their business. I've told people what's coming and to prepare but they're content to keep living their lives oblivious. So glad I found your channel!💚
WELCOME 🤠
I enjoy Doug and Stacy and Patera....I side stepped the drama....Never heard of Hillside Homestead.....Not into channels bashing each other.....Devil doing his do diligence....🤦♀️🤷♀️
That is hilarious! Fake homesteading?
As if Stacy is the authority on what homesteading is... Or isn't. Next she'll be taking you to task because you buy some groceries. Everyone does it a bit differently!
Hey Hillbilly! Thanks for supporting Doug & Stacey. I never miss a video of theirs, they are REAL PEOPLE and have great hearts.
I tend to avoid the silly drama for clicks videos like the one you played here but I'll say miss kitty called that one right. As usual. In regard to the cooking/kitchen comments. I live off grid. No running water, no electricity. Not even a generator. I have one but haven't used it in 4 years. I cook on a small woodstove 7-8 months a year or a hobostove, or 1 burner propane stove or Colman stove in the warmer months. Don't have a counter or cabinets. Do 95% of my cooking at home. Anything I don't cut right into the pan or pot gets prepared on top of a 5gal bucket lid with a plank of wood on it. Even mixing and kneading bread or biscuits or pie dough. I cook that stuff in a Dutch oven on top of the woodstove. I dehydrate veg and Jerky on racks above the stove. Store what I grow in the 16ft octagon cabin I live in. That I built. I've lived this way for 13 of the last 19 years in different places. Those folks aught to try living in a canvas wall tent for awhile. That'll teach ya all the stuff you DON'T need. It's nice to have all the stuff but ya don't need it.
Good Morning My Brother
I have been watching Doug and Stacey for a long time. I’ve learned a lot from both of them. They really care about us. They are the real deal. They have mastered it.
I had the same reaction as Miss Kitty when I watched the video. I ran and told my husband that people were saying you can't live without a certain type of kitchen. I watched the video to hear them out but couldn't stop laughing. We are currently on the grid but in 2021 during the Texas snowstorm my husband, our 6 children and my mother-in-law all lived in our 25 by 13 living room. Our100-year-old house had almost no insulation. We cooked on our wood stove that wasn't even for cooking. Every now and then the power would come on and we would use the toaster of oven. The only time we left that room was to go to the restroom and another part of the house which was freezing cold. So it basically felt like walking to an outhouse in the winter. my kitchen was a wood stove, a bench with the toaster oven on it and a bookshelf with some canned goods stacked amongst the books. We made it just fine.
Just found you, you're so refreshing! Also, I'm not freaking telling the world what I have for prepping. That almost makes us a target!!!
The woman you were trying to think of is Patera from Appalachia Homestead. She's out in East Tennessee. I like her channel. :)
I actually have been watching some of her video's and she has some good stuff
You're a true loyal friend to Doug ! You're doing what all true friends should do for each other...👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for speaking up for Doug and Stacy. I feel the same. I seen the video this morning, never seen their channel before and spoke up as well. Channels attract a different type of people I've noticed. The ones that have attacked Doug and Stacy seem negative and want to talk about other people negatively and create drama. Others speak on the negativity in the word to bring awareness so we can prepare for the REAL shit going on and being done to the world. You seem like my type of people. Be blessed.
Wow that lady sounded angry. I'm pretty sure Doug and Stacy are the real deal. I love watching them. I love Miss Kitty's calm and poise. We need more people like her.
She is For Sure a Jewel
Good for you making some noise! Love Doug and Stacy. The person you’re thinking of is Patara from Appalachian Homestead. She’s my all time fave homesteader, no offense to anyone. I just happen to be Cherokee as well, like Patara, and spent tons of time in TN through the years on family mountains. ❤️✌🏼
I was born in Kentucky in 1960. Things had gotten better by the time I came along, but my grandma, her 5 siblings and their parents survived on what animals the family could raise, what they could grow, kill, catch, barter for, and sell......if they had extra. Their shack had a dirt floor in the kitchen, a wood stove, no running water and an outhouse.
The only photo that I know about of one of my great aunts is her in a giant winter coat holding a double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun, and there was probably 8 or 10 squirrel tails hanging out of the pockets of her big coat. She wasn't out shooting for the fun of it, and that wasn't a _selfie_ for "Insta." Eight people require a fair bit of food.
Luckily though, they had plenty of _'cabinet space,'_ so that got them through the really bad times, and they all survived just fine.
Those lost Hillside "Homesteaders" wouldn't last a week having to truly provide for themselves. The first time their Internet went out they'd call 911, or if their toilet wouldn't flush they'd move to a different house. It's frightening how disconnected and just plain dumb many people have gotten.
I had a grown man come up to me at a gas station a good while ago. He asked if I knew anything about cars. I said I knew a little, and asked what the problem was. He said his brakes weren't working right. I asked if he had checked the fluid, and he actually said, _"what fluid?"_
I guess maybe I just expect too much.
People can't even go camping anymore. They have to ruin it by "glamping." What the.....?? If you're gonna take all your "stuff" with you, why not just stay home where your stuff already is? Just get on RUclips and watch a video of someone else actually camping.
I truly believe we're now in a time in the US where, if everything somehow suddenly stopped - no electricity, no running water, phone service, heat or well-stocked grocery stores, a huge portion of the population would just sit and starve to death after their food ran out. I can picture most people in the cities hanging out their front door, looking up and down the street and thinking, _"who's coming to save me, and when?"_ Never thinking about maybe trying to help themselves.
Homesteaders my azz! If they can't get it by texting, clicking, calling, having it delivered to their front door or picking it up at a drive-thru window, they'd be finished.
A day of reckoning is coming, and the herd is gonna be culled.
AMEN
Truth!
Thanks for telling us the truth . Too many people don't speak up for truth.
We watch Doug & Stacy all the time and turn to them when we have questions on project and how to do things. Never met them and it sickens me when people assume they know something about someone when in the end they don't know nothing. Like how you speak your mind and don't hold back, keep up the good work.
I feel ya. I live in a 10x20 cabin. Just one room but the way I arranged what furniture I do have makes it feel separated and cozy at the same time. My counter is short. Its only 4.5x2 and I cook on a hotplate and Instant Pot. I don’t have running water but I manage. I have electric but purposely DO NOT HAVE any television. Its all good. People can adapt. I just don’t normally cruise on off grid channels because most seem too doom and gloom for my taste. I’m wild, whimsical, chase butterflies and grow my own. Very happy woodland gal here. Don’t need drama or gloom. Rock on! 🤘
That was hilarious 😂 too much time on their hands! Miss Kitty is priceless and you are beyond funny. "Off grid trolls" really entertaining. Please keep your videos coming and if anything it's going to get you guys more subscribers. Loved it thanks for sharing.... # 1 Idaho Hillbilly and Miss 😺 you rock!!
😊 thank you

Yeah, when I seen you walkin' out in your balmy snow, I says he's jest an actor wit a bluescreen behinja 😂😂
Glad you spoke up and did this video,all of you that have come out of the system of things have encouraged us that are struggling to do the same and have learned alot from Doug ans Stacy and channels like yours.Keep on sticking together.
Was Doug and Stacy little cabin build that inspired me to build my little cabin, I'm going to keep adding onto it and build something that I will eventually live full time in. For now it's still a dream and a getaway from the madness
New to your channel. I’m building my off grid farm. I only have a countertop with 2x6 boards on milk crates for shelves. One 2 door cabinet holding up the countertop. Not living there full times yet, but am there 3-4 days a week. Have to be in civilization for my grandson. My farm is over an hour away and gas is too high to go back and forth more often. I have a neighbor that helps me with my chickens when I’m not there. That’s called community. Those people won’t make it in a grid down. Bless their hearts. I learned a ton from Doug and Stacy. WOW!
WELCOME 🤠
Lol!! From what I can tell Hillside Homesteading is a "Glitter & Glory" channel that has resorted to mudslinging to gain popularity....wrong move...lol. All I can say is you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig..lol. P.S. Kittys reaction to the video was priceless!!! Loved it!! I like your channel because it isnt labeled. You are what you are and you do what you do...no smoke and mirrors needed! Have a good one!
I just wish Stacey also had her own channel. Doug cuts her off in most of their videos and Doug is mostly about politics and worldly stuff now. I started watching their channel for homesteading tips. Wth?
Shit my grandmother was a mail order bride and she was Amish herself, I remember her canning on a wood cook stove and cooking all 4 seasons on that wood cook stove everyday. And now part of my house I live in the living room was part of a log cabin that my other grandmother used to live in one room no bathroom she had her kids and there was 5 of them , and when my dad built onto the house I am living in now shit he went down to his mothers place brought up the chicken coop and the goat house and attached it to the cabin to make extra rooms an one of the bedrooms does not have insulation in the walls the other one has book pages and sawdust in the walls. And we used to have a wood cook stove in this house I am in now but went more modern since grandma passed away But everything still standing and I am living in it as well i write this message.
I just found your channel! So excited to find a fellow Idahoan!! I'm in Southern Idaho. Thank you for calling out those idiots!! I love Doug and Stacy!! I don't think any one has the right to make these outrageous claims especially just to try and get views cuz no one has ever heard of them
Good video Man! The rainbow scalleywags are madder than a wet hen at Doug and Stacy you know they gonna make stuff up. Stay warm, spring times almost here.
We use a campers oven on our wood stove for baking , oven quit working on our gas stove. Our counter is 5' long. My barn house has a little over 800 sq ft. It would be nice to have more room but then I'd have to cut more firewood to heat it.
So glad you’re addressing this. That couple of weirdos are nut jobs. Seems like they popped up out of nowhere. Just listen to that crazy woman rant and make a complete fool of herself. 🤦♀️ Doug and Stacy are awesome. So real. Nothing more needs to be said.
I have a video coming out tonight where I'm talking about how Doug and Stacey have really impacted my life through the years it was actually Doug who gave me a lot of information and encouragement Six years ago I'm also mentioning your name as well and I'll make sure I link your channel to tonight's video
TESSIE!!!! 🥰
I don't think Doug and Stacy are fake homesteaders. Last time I checked there wasn't a rule book for homesteading. Some people just think that if you don't do it the way they do, you're doing it wrong. As far as cooking goes, I lived in a garage and cooked on a kerosene heater. You make due with what you got.
Where's your store at? I'm just north of Council.
A truly entertaining you-tube channel that you offer n from many perspectives , ENJOYN YALL FROM SOUTH CAROLINA , WER ALL MY NEIBORS ARE TREES !!!! KEEP DOIN WAT YOU DO !!! YEE YEE !!!
We live in a house that was built in 1904. There was horsehair and mud plaster in the upstairs bedrooms. Like you my brother is in construction and he said I'm building on top of it because that's one of the best insulations you can have
I just started listening to you and you’re entertaining! I wish we were younger to even consider living off grid. Our yard keeps us very busy, and we will just continue to enjoy watching and learning new things from all of you 😊 You guys stay healthy and happy!
Thank You and WELCOME 🤠😸
Picture of our old homestead house in Idaho County history book was old in 1907. Walls are hollow with pack rats and wood peckers. House floor drops off from settling. We actually think we are living pretty fancy. Spring water in the kitchen and bathroom.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I think one of those videos was the one that made me subscribe. So glad I did! You and miss Kitty have a great day and I look forward for more videos!!
Thanks for standing up for Doug and Stacy, I am subscribing to you now that I've found you!
Some people are never happy 😃
When folks start insulting other people and calling them all sorts of names, I have no interest in anything that they have to say! Thank you for being a decent human being!
Love you both. I love seeing Miss Kitty in the videos. You are so down to earth people..
That's my kind of people.
Thank You 🤠😸
Thank you for putting out this video. I would much rather give you the view than to listen to gossip from a hostile person.
Dude.Miss Kitty is a real treasure..you’re a super lucky man
Yes I am!
Yes he is!!
There is a tremendous difference in Mountain Men/ Women and Doug n Stacy. I think you guys are all real I watch Doug n Stacy I really like them. Still very different from you'll! All of you have true grit and are smart enough to know what is coming. The rest of the states are going to be in big trouble. You are correct in that when things get truly bad and people are starving they will be attacking those that are not very very sad here in our country
Thank you for your video. Funny is that this Hillside Homestead has evidently removed their video about Doug and Stacy. They probably got a rude awakening!! Love y’all’s channel
Thank You 🤠
Absolutely. Help and love one another! Doug and Stacy are one of a kind! Keep fighting the good fight! Wow, I can't believe someone thinks that living off grid is fake!!! Wow shame on them.
I was born poor. I seen my mom cook on a wash tub turned upside down propped up on rocks over an open fire. Mom never had running water until I joined the army & sent her money to put one in. Used cardboard for insulation if you had any at all. Never had indoor plumbing until I joined the army.That was in 1989.Remember one summer of eggs, greens, beans and new potatoes. If we had have had gas, electric, etc we dad gum sure would have used them... so off grid is subjective.
Found you a few years back thru Dusty (Alabama Pickers - RIP, Dusty and Tris 💔). Thanks for doing this vid - I refused to increase the algorithms of HH harpies channel by clicking on their nonsense. Doug and Stacy are the completely legit. As far as not a real kitchen, in the 1980s my great-gran was still living in a two room house - just a main room and a bedroom, the rooms separated by a quilt instead of a door - built in the late 1800s. When I was in college she still had no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no solar and no generator. She was still doing all her cooking/baking/canning all on her wood stove, using an outhouse, had a stocked cellar and was drawing her water from a cistern, and lived just shy of 100. She taught me how to live completely off grid.
I Miss Dusty and Tristan more every passing day 🙏😔🙏
@@IdahoHillbilly I know...I miss them so much.🙏❤️
Good to hear from Doug & Stacy's friends!
Just wandered In because your hat got my attention! The drama is too bad. People are judging too quickly these days! Live and let live for the folks questioning channels. I like your style Sir!
Enjoyed your video, have a two brothers in Salmon Idaho. Beautiful Country there. I'm glad you brought to attention about people living with out running water and cooking out side . I live in Kentucky and have lived with out many things. No plumbing out side bath room wood heat ext. It has been done for hundreds of years.
I Love Salmon and have a lot of Family and Friends over there 🤠
I saw that hater video as well and left my 2 cents more than once, sad to see folks pushing nonsense and even more sad how many in that comment section willing to accept the lies those ppl were selling without ANY proof whatsoever. Humanity has fallen so far!! I'm glad Doug says his peace and doesn't back off a bit and I hope he and Stacy both realize how many have their backs!
Maybe there is such a thing as poor homesteading and middle class homesteading, just as it is in the city.
Just because you’re off grid, doesn’t mean you have to live it hard. They are still practicing living OFF GRID, but in a modern way that better comforts today’s living.
It’s good to see you have a open mind about it. Thank you! I respect that
Thank you for sharing your opinion about the hillside hillbilly video. This is a time where we all need to come together to share our knowledge and skills that make us all ungovernable. People who tear others down are to be pitied. Doug and Stacey are 100% the real deal. They are true patriots and people of God who give from their hearts. Stay vigilant people. God bless us all.
All can say is thank you for exposing peoples lack of knowledge of survival and what it takes just to live in comfort! I'm not sure if you notice but that ladies voice puts her in a different generation she has no real knowledge of your alls life experience!
YT is sometimes a joke they got us all caught in a racket🙄
I came here from Homestead Tessie's video on this drama. It appears that Hillside Homesteading has deleted that video. That'll teach you. I don't understand why they would think criticizing an established RUclips channel would get them new followers. They had a few extra views, but if anything, it will drive people away. The homesteading community is all about building up each other so we can all be prepared for our government's destruction of the American dream.
AMEN! And WELCOME 🤠
It is up Nov 2023
Doug and Stacy are very informative and are real homesteaders.
Idaho Hillbilly thanks for sharing! The world has gone crazy!
Adapt is right..lol ...and there sure is alot of attacking other content makers, malice, hatred..and they're making money off of it. I won't participate!! World has gone mad! 😢
YES IT HAS!
I love Doug and Stacey. They have this way of life down to an art.
Wow you got to be kidding me. I've been 100% off grid for 6 years over here in Eastern washington. I don't have a counter top. I use the top of my dresser and hope chest for my counter. I cook in my wood stove and on my woodstove. You don't need no oven to cook. I don't have plumbing in my house I haul my water from my spring. That lady hit a nerve with me. She's absolutely ignorant. And why in the world does she care how others are living and providing for themselves. I own 20 acres it's not all gardens. Just because someone doesn't show you everything they do and have doesn't mean they are fake. I feel for Doug and Stacy. That other couple making waves they need to get some type of hobby other then putting others down
The lady's channel is "Appalachia's Homestead with Patara." I'm subbed to her and "Off Grid With Doug And Stacey." I just figure it's their battle, not mine. I have enough of my own battles to wage.
Its not them that is spreading lies..it is that other you tube channel. That couple is the ones telling lies about Doug and Stacey. Yes Doug and Stacey snd Patara had a problem.. I believe it was a Big misunderstanding that took place. Plus there were other people actually causing trouble...satan at work. I pray for Patara and Doug and Stacey that God will heal whatever caused the problem in the first place. But this other thing..is some other channel spreading lies. That one is the one Doug is bringing a law suit against. They need to be stopped!! Be careful, be cautious, be mindful, be watchful, be prepared, above all PRAY.🙏📖🛐🕊️ show ❤️ like Jesus then if need be 🔫🏹 then victory 🙌🙌
I don’t know anything about the other channel but I was raised if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. I’ll be praying for them.
I love Doug and Stacy and have learned a lot. I’ll also add that I’m a new subscriber here. I’ll be praying for all y’all too just because. 🙂 God bless y’all and have a good one.
Thank You and WELCOME 🤠😸
Bro I wish I could say that can’t believe all of the (let’s call it) trash talk, people need to get over themselves and it sounds like pure jealousy. I don’t know Doug and Stacy personally and yes I watch their channel everyday as it is one of the most useful channels that I take the time out of my day to watch and will continue to as long as they are teaching the homestead way of life. Same as with my new found friends the Idaho Hillbilly and His better half Miss Kitty they are the salt of life and share and teach the Hillbilly way of life and between them all yea they are friends that I have never met as of yet but I will one day soon and until then just always remember y’all never stand alone my friend as this is one Hillbilly to another just saying you never stand alone as y’all have a friend in this Hillbilly God Bless and stay alive!!!
Thank You My Friend 🤠😸
thanks for that!
Just found you while researching homesteaders on youtube! Hi to you and Miss Kitty! Have a great weekend. Blessings! Oh, and I love Doug and Stacy and all you other homesteaders out there. I'm learning from all of you!
Thank You and WELCOME 🤠😸
New here! I love Doug and Stacy. I have both her books and have tried some of the recipes.
I saw the video and was shocked. That lady is just pure jealous that she does not have her life under control like Doug and Stacy.
My grandparents never had running water. Their woodstove had a water reserve, so there was always hot water. It also heated the house. They did not have cabinets in their house. I remember things in the hallway to hold the dishes. The water used came down the mountain into a creek in their backyard. Their refrigerator was an ice box on the front porch til years later when they got electricity. My grandpa had a hole cut into the ceiling that allowed heat to go upstairs to the bedrooms. They had a little brown shack for the bathroom. I have my grandparents old wooden wash machine that they used as well as mom for years.
I live where Amish live and no electricity, running water, etc. Their transportation is horse and buggy. .
Doug and Stacy have their outdoor kitchen, which is bigger than my regular kitchen. I store my cast iron in my oven til I am ready to use them because I do not have enough storage in my kitchen. Heck, you make do with what you got and you make it work.
I love Doug and Stacey too. They are real truthful people. I too store my cast iron in my gas oven. Cause no room for it anywhere else. Don't have cabinet for them. Plus the heat keeps the pots from rusting. A win win . Be careful, be cautious, be mindful, be watchful be prepared, above all PRAY.🙏📖🛐🕊️ show ❤️ like Jesus then if need be 🔫🏹 then victory 🙌🙌
40degrees? I’m busting out a bike for a ride. Been no -40’s this Jan in N MN. If we just didn’t get all this snow in Dec… ready for spring already.
