Bought 8 acres 5 years ago. Wasn’t my 1st choice of locations but it will have to do. It has pros and cons but it’s mine.. it was a canola field and I’ve transformed it into a home. Large garden, permaculture food forest (in progress) I’ve planted over 500 trees so far. To create wind breaks and micro climates. Installed irrigation. Raise chickens. recently installed a wood stove as a backup heat source in the winter. I have a dry creek out back with dam to capture water. It’s not perfect but it’s progress
I have a fireplace in my cabin house that I rigged up a detachable grill so I can utilise it for cooking woodfired steaks. When it's winter and its pouring rain I'm basicly barbecuing inside the house😂. I also grow hops on my property to make my own beer. Usualy stockpile in late Autumn and give out bottles as presents to family and friends. Always end up with a good few hundred litres of beer lol. Its an incredible feeling when you make your own products from the fruits of your labour. Congratulations on purchasing your land, sounds like your properly set up if the grid goes down.
I bought 28 acres of eastern MT prairie 9 years ago and put up a cabin and started prepping. Everybody thought I was nuts. I`m ready for whatever happens, hopefull SHTF never happens and I can live out the rest of my days in peace.
Friend, you are light years ahead of most folks, myself included. Praying for all of us to live out our days in peace--just feel so bad for the grandchildren. What kind of a world awaits them? God help us all!
Absolute most important survival tool is WATER. Nothing survives without it. All too often channels breeze past water. Thank you for having very intelligent and experienced guests on frequently.
depends where you live. here for example (eastern canada) water is so ubiquitous it's hardly a concern. Just need to know low-tech ways to make it drinkable
I bought cheap land on a forested hillside 9 years ago to go off grid. There was an old cabin on it that I fixed up. There's a lot you can do with a hillside and it's so affordable because no one really wants it. If you buy a tractor like a Kabota, you can build tiered flat areas for gardening, outbuildings and living. Plus, a gravity-fed water system works so great and is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than digging a well. I pump water from a creek into tanks that gravity feed down to my cabin. Another bonus is that I never have to worry about flooding. So, don't overlook those cheap hillsides! They're much more promising for off-grid living than one might think!
Wow thanks for sharing ! I know nothing about off grid living so i am learning and preparing. A well was a must on my list along with a river or creek. I’d love more info on how that works in detail. Maybe i can find a video on it. Unless you have one or want to make one 😬Thanks!
Yes, I drink the creek water. I treat it with food grade concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the tank (a little goes a long way and will store for years) and I also run the water through .5 then .2 micron filters. Comes out crystal clear and delicious! I've been doing it for years and have never gotten sick.
I’ve been on my homestead for 20+ years … I’m an old army veteran.. I’m not leaving or bugging out … I’ll either die with the bombs drop or I’ll die fighting .. but I’m too old and have too much invested (blood sweat and tears) to just leave …
Thank you for your service! I appreciate you! Yep, I agree…yes, in most cases will “stand my ground”…I would only have to “bug out” in the case of a nuclear blast.
One important point I think most preppers miss: big cities in the US are already close to gridlock traffic on an average day and ideal conditions. Now change that mood for panic stricken drivers with 1/4 tanks of fuel, no clear destination and no supplies…? The cities will choke themselves shut almost instantly when SHTF
It won’t be pretty when it happens. I’ve had prepper friends argue that big cities will spill out into the suburbs and countryside; my response is always do you know how much equipment and skill it will take for that kind of travel on an individual basis? Average people don’t invest in that kind of outdoor equipment and they sure don’t train or take classss for it.
A women from the Shenandoah Valley, VA. , tells the history of how all the deer were hunted out for food during the depression time. Her family is from this area and has lived there for many generations. It can happen pretty quickly when the SHTF and people are hungry!
Several years ago we bought 10 acres off grid, 30 minutes from the nearest town, 3 dirt roads off of a dirt road-and anytime we’re there we run into more and more people just like we would in a suburban neighborhood. Our neighbors are great, but they invite their friends and family to use their property so you’re never alone. My point is off grid/remote doesn’t mean people won’t congregate there.
got the wire mesh on the chicken run/shelter today and had freshly picked spinach from the garden which had grown on its own from seeds that must have fallen. Its a lot of work but it is nice to be able to walk out your back door and pick your dinner.
Just a suggestion from a long time chicken lady … did down around your chicken run and lay down wore cloth aka rabbit wire .. you want it curved from about 10-12” at the bottom of your run down into the ground … it keeps predators from digging under your run to get into your coop … chicken wire keep your chickens in but it’s not great at keeping predators out … but layering that wire cloth around the bottom and under around it makes it so they can’t dig under … it’s also prevents many from tearing in through your chicken wire ..
Good luck if you don't really know hope is. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. With God all things are possible. I was raised on a farm in Sask . I live off Grid in a mountain valley in BC. You need a boat to get here. Came here in 2019. I think mine rates 9 out of 10
I am looking to buy a small property....no house..it needs to be built like the old Europeans did. All animals come home at night. A lot is underground
Up in the wooded mountains surrounded by desert in Az. Hard to get to, have a water source, fireplace, started a large garden 3 years ago, still building it up, and its on a dirt road that you need at least an SUV on. Snow varies in the winter. Fingers crossed.
Actually seniors are one of the easiest people to start. Nice nest egg, house paid off and kids gone and all the time in the world. Best be in pretty good health though too

Took a year of saving $ and planning but leaving my narcy abusive husband was the hardest and smartest things I've ever done. 26 year marriage. I have no living relatives or friends. My cats are my family. 14 years after divorce he still stalks me and messes with my utilities. He told the judge theres nowhere I can go that he won't find me. Ive had to move 11 times in 14 years. I bought a house, I'm not moving again. I'm standing my ground. I was told to buy a self-protector, so I got one and took a class. People can be crazy.
Odd this comment appeared here. I was commenting to a true crime channel case similar to mine and watched this video before watching that one. Hmmm...??
@@susiea1419 An injunction is nothing more than a piece of paper--absolutely worthless. I knew someone years ago in NY who had one and wound up unalived. Changing states is nothing, people hire a PI and find you. Being able to protect yourself is definitely the way to go.
Most people think they need 100 acres for a homestead!!!! You don't!!!! Get 1 or 2 acres !! You can grow food have chickens!!! Go for what you can for a Bug Out Location!!!!
That totally depends on what that one or two acres is like... our previous place was only one acre, but the property could only handle two batches of meat birds per year and a pair of hogs every three years - that's not enough meat for two people to live off of!
Those who know how to do what I call "3-dimentional gardening," in which you grow all your food plants in rows on standing and / or hanging racks of planter boxes or self-feeding hydroponics stations made of PVC piping, know how to make a fully self-sustaining homestead out of as little as 1-QUARTER acre! Most people thinking of prepper gardening and only think of gardens on one plain of simple flat land instead of building UP FROM the ground to as high as you can acquire the materials/are willing to do the building work/have tall enough ladders to manage on whatever tiny sliver of raw land you were able to afford on a shoestring budget. One thing the army taught me was how to do what you can with what you have or can most easily acquire.
You need to have about 10 acres of land a Acer of land for garden and your house and a barn and a chicken coop and a beef and a milk cow and hogs you have to be close to a town for lumber and nails and job and a small creek for water these things you have to have for survival you can't grow everything .
@@Knight_Who_Says_Nee the problem with going with hydroponics is fertilizers, water supply... And what about the plants with huge root structures? Not feasible for off-grid situations. Plus, humans are primarily carnivore, so we need to be more focused on growing the foods that our animals can eat (note that brassicas are toxic to most livestock, so forget about them!) AND foods that store well over the winter so we can feed our livestock when there's no forage!
Man Curtis's channel is what got me into prepping through gardening, once i started looking into gardening more I started seeing the value in storing up other things and bam I was gone lol.
In Maine, the Army Corp of Engineers is essentialy tripling the 'Vet Cemetery' and I've been told MANY abnormal drills are being run coast to coast. 🤔 Edit: The current cemetery is already large and only about 40% full.
My son is the director of two of the national cemeteries. It is normal for the VA's NCA (National Cemetery Administration) to expand years in advance of anticipated need, which is based on demographics of veterans in the area of the cemetery. Remember, Vietnam vets are elderly, and their spouses and up to 2 kids can be buried in the cemeteries too. Nobody is planning for some secret holocaust, and if they were, the last place the government would invest in advance is cemeteries. They are simply well run places of honor as they should be.
Yeeeeeeeeaaaahh....I grew up in the bush , real bush , son of a WW11 Vet who served in the Pacific theatre . As a child dad would take me into the jungle with matches and a knife and string , no extra clothing , a I gallon bottle of water each a compass and map of the are . Wed go into the jungle 150+ kms away from home then track through the jungle living off the land and heading home fashioning shelter , finding food , purifying our water from streams when we ran out of our initial load . Sometimes on school holidays dad would take me further out...200-250kms out then track back home from there . One thing I know is that armed only with a knife I can literally disappear into the bush with a 5minute start and outside of God no one is finding me and I can live in the wild indefinitely... and live well . You can have all the preps in the world , all the fancy gadgets and gizmos and still NOT MAKE IT PAST THE FIRST FEW MONTHS . These chats are informative and entertaining but really do nothing for anyone in the REAL WORLD . When someone talks about"prepping"(for want of a more appropriate term) and starts including "comfort" items I stop listening ....they just don't have the correct state of mind . Good Luck ppl .
My wife and I used Back to Basics book back in the 70s and lived off Grid all through the mid nineties then moved to rural Oregon and my health was weekend but we have been preppers and preparing for this sense then.
I personally think that generally this would work, but different situations for different people will also work. Just make sure that you at least this food: water, salt, beans, rice, vegetables, powdered milk, powdered eggs, flour, sourdough start to make bread or flatbread, and other storage or canned foods that will bring variety to your meals. Stay safe.
Are we able to defend these large properties? Are invisible boundaries going to be obeyed? If you have food planted do you think people wont find your property and figure out how to take it? Idk if staying in one area like that is the way to go.
@@chupacabra304 Nope. A sitting target is a sitting duck Gardens take a long time to grow and a preserving them is not a easy or quick task. The woods are full of foods if you know what to look for. Clothes you can have that will keep you warm. It is not without a plan. But sitting means more and more will come for you if they think you have something they want.

A small diameter ice auger with a siphon tube would be handy to reach water for survival if there's a lot of frozen lakes, just had the idea of placing ice augers around near lakes in Northern climates for everyone's survival in emergencies.
There is absolutely nothing to worry about and here's why. There are only really two cases in which a person could rationally worried about something first case is things you cannot control and since you cannot control them it makes no sense to worry about it. Then there are things that you can control therefore if you can control it then it makes no sense to worry about it because you have control just control it. Its that simple theres nothing else to worry about
Thats right… On a side note, i was half expecting to see some nonsense about religion or jebus halfway through your comment lol. Thank you for NOT talking about fairy tales hahaha
Excellent video, Nate. More of these. Very helpful, had enough gloom and doom. This video is worth 100 times the value of a gloom and video. The "Let me fix my world here at my home" videos are worth me stopping my chores to watch. Thank you, Nate. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How I envy my friends that I left from Philippines. I was just talking to them about pros and cons. There, you won't freeze in the night. With 7000 islands accessible to fishing, you can't starve. With sun all year round you can grow food. 😢
I'm here in the Philippines now. I was actually thinking about returning to the US, but I'll wait until after the New Year. I mean yeah the US is crazy, but for me it's the devil you know I suppose.
@@Mhel2023 If you are Philippino, you are better off staying in the islands, because the world is close to World War III. America will be nuked by Russia and China. There will be no electricity or food in America. The Philippines will not be attacked by China, they will be focused on America. In the Philippines you can live off the food from the ocean, coconuts, bananas, mangoes, and the such. The ocean will feed everyone in the Philippines. You don’t have to worry about snow, ice, and lack of food in the winter months. The people who will survive WWWIII the best are the natives living in the Amazon jungles of Brazil.
Got my farm, got my well drilled, septic in, a large Creek with fish, and the privacy of the mountains. Now both 91yr old parents are unable to live alone. So it's waiting...
Move them there and see how you need to change things for when you are old and need someone to take care of you. Also, just getting wounded can ruin your day and make it so you need someone.
Mine is waiting too, while my mom’s cancer takes her out in the next 6 months, and I am in the city taking care of her, my hideout is all set and waiting for me too.
650 acres rural texas red river county, feels fine to me, so im staying right here. 4 sources of water, plus ponds, few cleared fields, mostly timber. Dirt roads. Very few neighbors, but lots of family. 5 mins to fuel, 30 mins to small towns, 1hr to 3 large enough towns. I love red river county. Hopefully, I'm far enough from silos, and if anything happens in dallas, I just have to pray for favorable wind directions since I'm 3 hours out.
The thing you are not taking into account is our collapsing environment. I have my forty acres in the middle of nowhere but lately hoards of people are moving in, building huge houses and the first thing they do is start poisoning and killing off the wild life. Over the last five years, the insect population has completely collapsed. There are zero bees, wasps and flying insects have all disappeared. All the birds that lived on them have disappeared. All of the toads and frogs have disappeared. My trees no longer produce fruit because there are no pollinators. There have been incredibly powerful insecticides developed over the last few years and in the USA’s unregulated reality, these are being applied everywhere without regard to their effects. I have been communicating with people all over the world that are experiencing the same thing. Our planet is dying.
Now for the good news! Jesus died for everybody, paid the cost of our sins, so we may be found righteous on judgement day. Look into Jesus and Bible prophecy. There is hope !
@@firstlast1047 the planet will remain but most of the life on it will not. Not everyone has the same blindness you do. I assume you live in a city and don’t see what is happening but I have been watching it for 70 years and know that there is a serious collapse going on. We are all condemned to death at the moment of birth and since there are billions of planets in billions of galaxies I am sure the universe doesn’t give a shit what happens here but if you have children, it might mean something to you. It is what it is.

@@offgridcurtisstone How are you feeding your help? Or are you guarding the perimeter by yourself 24/7 while you pickaxe a hillside to grow food? Obviously a city guy.
Remember, when it comes to long term survival off grid, MEAT and FAT are KING. The return in energy and nutrition you get from animals is FAR superior than a head of broccoli, or a peach, or a pile of corn. If you live on a property, put your energy NOW into creating the MOST abundant wild animal habitat. Ponds, deer bed areas, perennial plants that wildlife love to eat. You are farming ANIMALS, to survive long term. Plants are survival foods, not THRIVING foods. Deer LOVE to eat the leaves off of young sunflowers and other garden crops. Don't look at your garden like its just for you. It'll attract other food you can eat....like deer, racoon, ground hog etc. Let nature provide for you, dont try to completely control nature. Build systems that allow nature to do its work for you.
If you’re a prepper and you have a homestead, you’ll be the first to get hit. Best bet, if you live out in the country, make your house look abandoned, don’t fortify it at all. Lock it up, by securing doors and windows, make it as impenetrable as you can, but have a fall back position. For instance, my plan is to bury my food and other provisions on my property. Don’t keep anything of importance like guns ammo etc., stored in your home. Or if you do, store them in your basement, if I retreat to my basement, I’ve got a hole that I can escape out to undercover, under my porch and run directly into the woods unnoticed. To another fall back position in the woods to a creek system that’s connected to miles of other creeks. That will be my highway system, it’s low, and covered, I can move for miles from location to location, scoping out neighborhoods with thermal to see if I can go into houses and see what I can use.
I agree. I'd say that its much better to be immediately adjacent to a smaller town. If you have a homestead that is totally isolated it will be VERY easy for bandits to raid it and VERY difficult for a single familly to defend it.
@@diegoriveira3579city prepper has some good videos on prepping in an apartment Depending on the “catastrophe” you’re not always toast But since so many in the prepper community love catastrophizing “if you don’t live in a rural area a gorillion miles away from civilization with a nuclear resistant bunker you’re already dead” They end up being their own worst enemy. That being said: if there *is* a apocalyptic scenario, zombie plague, FALLOUT style nuclear war, Mega-volcano pops off, or dinosaur killing meteor landing right on our butts ☄️ cities with their population density certainly make it harder
@@diegoriveira3579 none of us have the resources mate. Keep prepping. It may just be food shortages that see the zombies emerge. They’ll make us all fight each other first. They don’t need nukes , just supply shortages
Gangs will take you out. Have a place to go and a means to get there. Can you run ten miles with a bug out bag on your back? Neither can I. I suggest at the minimum an electric bicycle. It will go down paths and a good one will get you many miles with little effort. Or a small gas motorcycle. These will fit between trees and metal posts that will stop a car. Highways will be blocked and turn into free fire zones pretty dang quick. Have trails you scout out you can use. If the gang cannot get you out they will try to burn you down. Do not stay in anything that burns.
Curtis is one of the only homesteaders who really gets it. I am glad he is in this space. He never focuses on dividing people. Him and More Than farmers are the only two I follow anymore.
Consideration #2 - The concept as presented by Curtis Stone has a great many positive points. The challenge for myself is the issue of this narrative verses what history has provided. Yes, in many cases there is advantages but compared to what occurred in Venezuela recently, it might be a liability. As I've gathered, the farmers were the first to be attacked by the gangs. That society usually includes large extended families living in the same household. Those fairly significant sized numbers weren't able to defend themselves; this is similar to people residing in villages in Medieval times. Those residing on their own land was easy prey.
Medium size pair of Vice Grip adjustable locking pliers is the most useful tool in my opinion, with a multiple tip screwdriver and a pair of small wire cutters that slide into rear pants pocket to carry easily everywhere, are 3 of the most useful tools, like pocket knife.
I find living with and being really poor, you find the best community and willingness to help in the right places. My village area is quite poor but we work together well and watch out for each other items. We do have a couple people in town that wont help and try to make life harder, but I'm hoping they will come around when they realize that all we have is each other.
I'd say that its better to be immediately adjacent to a smaller town. If your homestead is totally isolated it will be VERY easy for bandits to raid it and VERY difficult for a single familly to defend it.

Check out Lye water egg storage. Raw eggs can last almost 1 yr if kept in lye water. Many folks have more eggs than they can eat daily so this method of storage makes total sence for winter when egg production drops signifigantly
The only thing about this is that it won't work with eggs from a grocery store because they have been washed. The eggs need to come from a farm where the eggs have not been washed.
Loved this interview. It was great information and answered a lot of questions for me. As you were talking about the bunker I also thought there might come a time when you need a bunker to keep your wife and children safe from horrible people coming through an area. I think about that with my 4 granddaughters. Sad times we live in but it is real.

There's 2 acres of the most fertile soil you'll ever find, here that is isolated and nobody can use it except hunting, camping and gardening. Was surrounded by local government flood control ditch and reservoir that isolated it, only one neighbor with a millionaire's home on the only side without water. It's wooded with several vernal ponds, otters and Blue Herron in the giant drainage ditch that passes through the East side with ownership of both banks. We can legally grow 10 cannabis plants for living needs here that makes the soil valuable. I could use half of it, and could use a partner to use the other half, it's not divisible.

There wont be gangs. People fight eachother for scraps. Only small groups of people (10) may make their way a couple hundred km at the most. Outside that radius you wont see marauders. 🤔

Where is Jesus? What is Jesus doing for us? He dies for our sins yet so many people are sinning every day since he passed away, how many people have died over religion in history let alone Christianity it’s all a cult to divide one another into believing in a false prophet when in reality we are all individual gods, Seriously bro some magical guy in the sky is answering your prayers like how do we know if Jesus was even real or a “god” question Your own freaking religion!! I believe in God the one true creator of this world, that’s it not some prophet…
@@DMTEntity88I've questioned my own religion more then you have your own beliefs practically guaranteed. Jesus is coming back soon. We are living in the End Times as documented in Revelation.

@@DMTEntity88Jesus is very real. I pray you find that connection with him and soon. It's all in scriptures. Not saying prepping is a bad thing though. Always good to be ready but at the end of the day,,,"We" are not in control.
The best is to have a bait ( house ) . You need a underground bunker not too far . Close to that a tree hunting sleeping stuff . You need 2 other place to sleep for all bad scenario .
A++++++ Get to know your neighbors. OFFER to give them rides wherever/whenever they need. Take them thrift and yard sale shopping. The reward to you will be immeasurable.
A key to what I did for privacy and security was to get workers from other cities which would stay and work fast so they could leave and obviously I only payed them when all was 100% done. Getting people from around know your home, secret places, bunkers etc.
That's great,buy Some land get some animals build a homestead.Great advice considering most people are living paycheck to paycheck in this economy..and that most people in this country live in either urban areas or suburbs and don't have the luxury of that kind of prepping when their just trying keep the lights on and feed their family.
You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, and so on. Start there. That is 14 people, not including aunts and uncles, that are aging, and some live on farms that could use a young willing-to-learn person such as yourself. The age of the average farmer is in the late 60's. So quit whining and think in generational time, instead of consumer time. You need to watch the John Wayne movie, "The Quiet Man", to understand how country people think. The scene where the men at the pub decided that he was entitled to buy the old homestead over his rival, BECAUSE IT WAS HIS BIRTHPLACE, is still in effect in the county that I live in right here in the U.S. Watch the darn movie and try to learn something.

Consideration #1 - Unless an individual was going to under take this approach by themselves, that persons spouse would have to be on board. That would need to be both the continued hard work and the matter of non disclosure. Preppers in general represent a percentage of the general population of 2%? Of those of us, what would the guess be of spouses being fully on board? An example being my wife, she was raised in India as an expat. What I was unaware of is that the family had many servants. Her fall back position when things get tough is to withdraw.

I’d say a homestead of 2-10 acres within a rural community where you have like minded neighbors is best. If you can defend the whole area, block roads, have a local militia comprised of neighbors you’ll have a better chance of survival. Other issue: both Nate and Curtis live in Canada so while Nate is way more prepared with respect to weapons, it’s still Canada and what happens if U.S. raiders cross the unenforceable U.S./ Canada border with all the assault rifles that are NOT banned in the u.S.? Canadian farmers/homesteaders like Curtis, who to my knowledge has never done a weapons/gun video, will be easy pickings….
We strategically relocated within BC two years ago from south to north and it has been such a good decision. We chose somewhere more than a tank of gas from a major city. Was wondering what part of the province this guess is from. Interesting video- thanks!
Ive been looking at you chanell all afternoon. Now i find this video, 4 hours after it was posted!!! It wasnt listed (to me in Australia) for 4 hours!!
I agree 100%. I'd say that its better to be immediately adjacent to a smaller town. If your homestead is totally isolated it will be VERY easy for bandits to raid it and VERY difficult for a single familly to defend it.
We were eating our peaches from our peach trees this year in TX while our in laws were just thawing out in N ID from all the snow. We can garden all year here in TX. ;)

@@slaveofYAH I wouldn't rule it out... We're watching events come to pass that the bible predicted 2000 years ago. We are getting very close to the end. Our savior Jesus is coming! Make sure you're ready.
Bought 8 acres 5 years ago. Wasn’t my 1st choice of locations but it will have to do. It has pros and cons but it’s mine.. it was a canola field and I’ve transformed it into a home. Large garden, permaculture food forest (in progress) I’ve planted over 500 trees so far. To create wind breaks and micro climates. Installed irrigation. Raise chickens. recently installed a wood stove as a backup heat source in the winter. I have a dry creek out back with dam to capture water. It’s not perfect but it’s progress
I have a fireplace in my cabin house that I rigged up a detachable grill so I can utilise it for cooking woodfired steaks. When it's winter and its pouring rain I'm basicly barbecuing inside the house😂. I also grow hops on my property to make my own beer. Usualy stockpile in late Autumn and give out bottles as presents to family and friends. Always end up with a good few hundred litres of beer lol. Its an incredible feeling when you make your own products from the fruits of your labour. Congratulations on purchasing your land, sounds like your properly set up if the grid goes down.
I bought 28 acres of eastern MT prairie 9 years ago and put up a cabin and started prepping. Everybody thought I was nuts. I`m ready for whatever happens, hopefull SHTF never happens and I can live out the rest of my days in peace.

Absolute most important survival tool is WATER. Nothing survives without it. All too often channels breeze past water. Thank you for having very intelligent and experienced guests on frequently.
Really depends on how much energy storage one has: the fat muscle ratio one has, matters as well; same with how much the ratio is.

I bought cheap land on a forested hillside 9 years ago to go off grid. There was an old cabin on it that I fixed up. There's a lot you can do with a hillside and it's so affordable because no one really wants it. If you buy a tractor like a Kabota, you can build tiered flat areas for gardening, outbuildings and living. Plus, a gravity-fed water system works so great and is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than digging a well. I pump water from a creek into tanks that gravity feed down to my cabin. Another bonus is that I never have to worry about flooding. So, don't overlook those cheap hillsides! They're much more promising for off-grid living than one might think!
Wow thanks for sharing ! I know nothing about off grid living so i am learning and preparing. A well was a must on my list along with a river or creek. I’d love more info on how that works in detail. Maybe i can find a video on it. Unless you have one or want to make one 😬Thanks!
Also, can u drink the creek water?? I mostly wanted the well for drinking water.
Yes, I drink the creek water. I treat it with food grade concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the tank (a little goes a long way and will store for years) and I also run the water through .5 then .2 micron filters. Comes out crystal clear and delicious! I've been doing it for years and have never gotten sick.

One important point I think most preppers miss: big cities in the US are already close to gridlock traffic on an average day and ideal conditions. Now change that mood for panic stricken drivers with 1/4 tanks of fuel, no clear destination and no supplies…? The cities will choke themselves shut almost instantly when SHTF
You have got that right, most days in Baltimore, there is nowhere to go but a crawl.
Yep
Only 1, 2 lane hwy eastbound out of the lower mainland Fraser Valley, BC . Go north, 2 lanes. Or swim/boat west. That's it.
Your totally correct I agree
It won’t be pretty when it happens. I’ve had prepper friends argue that big cities will spill out into the suburbs and countryside; my response is always do you know how much equipment and skill it will take for that kind of travel on an individual basis? Average people don’t invest in that kind of outdoor equipment and they sure don’t train or take classss for it.
A women from the Shenandoah Valley, VA. , tells the history of how all the deer were hunted out for food during the depression time. Her family is from this area and has lived there for many generations. It can happen pretty quickly when the SHTF and people are hungry!
They finally chose to reintroduce deer into many states, you can read about it, I was shocked; even squirrels were rare for years.
Yes - go to Cuba and see how many wild animals they have.

Several years ago we bought 10 acres off grid, 30 minutes from the nearest town, 3 dirt roads off of a dirt road-and anytime we’re there we run into more and more people just like we would in a suburban neighborhood. Our neighbors are great, but they invite their friends and family to use their property so you’re never alone. My point is off grid/remote doesn’t mean people won’t congregate there.
Thank you for keeping the constant flow of information going as it should be, the transparency of your channel is so refreshing.

got the wire mesh on the chicken run/shelter today and had freshly picked spinach from the garden which had grown on its own from seeds that must have fallen. Its a lot of work but it is nice to be able to walk out your back door and pick your dinner.
Thats all you eat for your meals? Spinach? Yeah sounds nice
Picking fresh is the best. I have a variety of herbs, greens etc. out back and 3 tomatoes are amazingly still fruiting under there despite frost 🙂
Just a suggestion from a long time chicken lady … did down around your chicken run and lay down wore cloth aka rabbit wire .. you want it curved from about 10-12” at the bottom of your run down into the ground … it keeps predators from digging under your run to get into your coop … chicken wire keep your chickens in but it’s not great at keeping predators out … but layering that wire cloth around the bottom and under around it makes it so they can’t dig under … it’s also prevents many from tearing in through your chicken wire ..
Give me the strength to endure what is to come
You got it

Stay close to Jesus. ❤️
Good luck if you don't really know hope is. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. With God all things are possible. I was raised on a farm in Sask . I live off Grid in a mountain valley in BC. You need a boat to get here. Came here in 2019. I think mine rates 9 out of 10

Odd this comment appeared here. I was commenting to a true crime channel case similar to mine and watched this video before watching that one. Hmmm...??
If it is true a judge would have ensured an injunction. And if true you would have changed states and told no one where you had gone
@@susiea1419 An injunction is nothing more than a piece of paper--absolutely worthless. I knew someone years ago in NY who had one and wound up unalived. Changing states is nothing, people hire a PI and find you. Being able to protect yourself is definitely the way to go.
@@susiea1419 You are obviously very young or very inexperienced.
Most people think they need 100 acres for a homestead!!!! You don't!!!! Get 1 or 2 acres !! You can grow food have chickens!!! Go for what you can for a Bug Out Location!!!!
That totally depends on what that one or two acres is like... our previous place was only one acre, but the property could only handle two batches of meat birds per year and a pair of hogs every three years - that's not enough meat for two people to live off of!
Those who know how to do what I call "3-dimentional gardening," in which you grow all your food plants in rows on standing and / or hanging racks of planter boxes or self-feeding hydroponics stations made of PVC piping, know how to make a fully self-sustaining homestead out of as little as 1-QUARTER acre! Most people thinking of prepper gardening and only think of gardens on one plain of simple flat land instead of building UP FROM the ground to as high as you can acquire the materials/are willing to do the building work/have tall enough ladders to manage on whatever tiny sliver of raw land you were able to afford on a shoestring budget.
One thing the army taught me was how to do what you can with what you have or can most easily acquire.
absolutely
You need to have about 10 acres of land a Acer of land for garden and your house and a barn and a chicken coop and a beef and a milk cow and hogs you have to be close to a town for lumber and nails and job and a small creek for water these things you have to have for survival you can't grow everything .
@@Knight_Who_Says_Nee the problem with going with hydroponics is fertilizers, water supply... And what about the plants with huge root structures? Not feasible for off-grid situations. Plus, humans are primarily carnivore, so we need to be more focused on growing the foods that our animals can eat (note that brassicas are toxic to most livestock, so forget about them!) AND foods that store well over the winter so we can feed our livestock when there's no forage!
Man Curtis's channel is what got me into prepping through gardening, once i started looking into gardening more I started seeing the value in storing up other things and bam I was gone lol.
In Maine, the Army Corp of Engineers is essentialy tripling the 'Vet Cemetery' and I've been told MANY abnormal drills are being run coast to coast. 🤔
Edit: The current cemetery is already large and only about 40% full.
Maybe they are getting ready for all us baby boomers.
My son is the director of two of the national cemeteries. It is normal for the VA's NCA (National Cemetery Administration) to expand years in advance of anticipated need, which is based on demographics of veterans in the area of the cemetery. Remember, Vietnam vets are elderly, and their spouses and up to 2 kids can be buried in the cemeteries too.
Nobody is planning for some secret holocaust, and if they were, the last place the government would invest in advance is cemeteries. They are simply well run places of honor as they should be.

Sometimes on school holidays dad would take me further out...200-250kms out then track back home from there .

@@Mimi-zh7wcthat would be so cool. Show us how to live off grid without all the fancy tools and gadgets
I personally think that generally this would work, but different situations for different people will also work. Just make sure that you at least this food: water, salt, beans, rice, vegetables, powdered milk, powdered eggs, flour, sourdough start to make bread or flatbread, and other storage or canned foods that will bring variety to your meals. Stay safe.
Are we able to defend these large properties? Are invisible boundaries going to be obeyed? If you have food planted do you think people wont find your property and figure out how to take it? Idk if staying in one area like that is the way to go.
Yes, and the trouble with the tiny UK is, every property can be found easily apart from somewhere in rural Scotland or the lttle isles.

This spring the wind has been more of an aggravation than other years
That is why when you go all over the prairies, all the old homesteads have huge wind breaks of trees and shrubs built all around them.
Wind is annoying and destructive

There is absolutely nothing to worry about and here's why. There are only really two cases in which a person could rationally worried about something first case is things you cannot control and since you cannot control them it makes no sense to worry about it. Then there are things that you can control therefore if you can control it then it makes no sense to worry about it because you have control just control it.

The thing you are not taking into account is our collapsing environment. I have my forty acres in the middle of nowhere but lately hoards of people are moving in, building huge houses and the first thing they do is start poisoning and killing off the wild life. Over the last five years, the insect population has completely collapsed. There are zero bees, wasps and flying insects have all disappeared. All the birds that lived on them have disappeared. All of the toads and frogs have disappeared. My trees no longer produce fruit because there are no pollinators. There have been incredibly powerful insecticides developed over the last few years and in the USA’s unregulated reality, these are being applied everywhere without regard to their effects. I have been communicating with people all over the world that are experiencing the same thing. Our planet is dying.
Now for the good news! Jesus died for everybody, paid the cost of our sins, so we may be found righteous on judgement day. Look into Jesus and Bible prophecy. There is hope !

@@firstlast1047 the planet will remain but most of the life on it will not. Not everyone has the same blindness you do.

Remember, when it comes to long term survival off grid, MEAT and FAT are KING. The return in energy and nutrition you get from animals is FAR superior than a head of broccoli, or a peach, or a pile of corn. If you live on a property, put your energy NOW into creating the MOST abundant wild animal habitat. Ponds, deer bed areas, perennial plants that wildlife love to eat. You are farming ANIMALS, to survive long term. Plants are survival foods, not THRIVING foods. Deer LOVE to eat the leaves off of young sunflowers and other garden crops. Don't look at your garden like its just for you. It'll attract other food you can eat....like deer, racoon, ground hog etc. Let nature provide for you, dont try to completely control nature. Build systems that allow nature to do its work for you.
If you’re a prepper and you have a homestead, you’ll be the first to get hit. Best bet, if you live out in the country, make your house look abandoned, don’t fortify it at all. Lock it up, by securing doors and windows, make it as impenetrable as you can, but have a fall back position.
For instance, my plan is to bury my food and other provisions on my property. Don’t keep anything of importance like guns ammo etc., stored in your home. Or if you do, store them in your basement, if I retreat to my basement, I’ve got a hole that I can escape out to undercover, under my porch and run directly into the woods unnoticed. To another fall back position in the woods to a creek system that’s connected to miles of other creeks. That will be my highway system, it’s low, and covered, I can move for miles from location to location, scoping out neighborhoods with thermal to see if I can go into houses and see what I can use.
I agree. I'd say that its much better to be immediately adjacent to a smaller town. If you have a homestead that is totally isolated it will be VERY easy for bandits to raid it and VERY difficult for a single familly to defend it.
Nice pipe dream. Fall back to where?? Becoming a refugee??? A real man chooses a hill to die for not "fall back"

Gangs will take you out. Have a place to go and a means to get there. Can you run ten miles with a bug out bag on your back? Neither can I. I suggest at the minimum an electric bicycle. It will go down paths and a good one will get you many miles with little effort. Or a small gas motorcycle. These will fit between trees and metal posts that will stop a car. Highways will be blocked and turn into free fire zones pretty dang quick. Have trails you scout out you can use.
If the gang cannot get you out they will try to burn you down. Do not stay in anything that burns.
Curtis is one of the only homesteaders who really gets it. I am glad he is in this space. He never focuses on dividing people. Him and More Than farmers are the only two I follow anymore.
Consideration #2 - The concept as presented by Curtis Stone has a great many positive points. The challenge for myself is the issue of this narrative verses what history has provided. Yes, in many cases there is advantages but compared to what occurred in Venezuela recently, it might be a liability. As I've gathered, the farmers were the first to be attacked by the gangs. That society usually includes large extended families living in the same household. Those fairly significant sized numbers weren't able to defend themselves; this is similar to people residing in villages in Medieval times. Those residing on their own land was easy prey.

I find living with and being really poor, you find the best community and willingness to help in the right places. My village area is quite poor but we work together well and watch out for each other items. We do have a couple people in town that wont help and try to make life harder, but I'm hoping they will come around when they realize that all we have is each other.
I'd say that its better to be immediately adjacent to a smaller town. If your homestead is totally isolated it will be VERY easy for bandits to raid it and VERY difficult for a single familly to defend it.
I used the book Back to Basics back in the 1980s as my learning tool when I moved to the farm. It was pre-internet.
I'm 47yrs old. $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!❤️
I'm inspired.
Please spill some sugar about the biweekly returns, I would be really glad
$350k and more, Christine Evelyn Mackie is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christine E. Mackie is the kind of person one needs in his or her life!
Wow 😱 I know her too
Miss Christine Evelyn Mackie is a remarkable individual who has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life. Her unwavering wisdom have been invaluable assets, enriching my journey in countless ways.
I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Christine Evelyn Mackie.
I do love a good chat between my fave 2 survival guys.. keep up the good work guys.
Check out Lye water egg storage. Raw eggs can last almost 1 yr if kept in lye water. Many folks have more eggs than they can eat daily so this method of storage makes total sence for winter when egg production drops signifigantly
Its called Water Glassing eggs
Will they taste pickled?
The only thing about this is that it won't work with eggs from a grocery store because they have been washed. The eggs need to come from a farm where the eggs have not been washed.
I have seen this but wonder what the lye does to the eggs. Does it harm the human body?
Loved this interview. It was great information and answered a lot of questions for me. As you were talking about the bunker I also thought there might come a time when you need a bunker to keep your wife and children safe from horrible people coming through an area. I think about that with my 4 granddaughters. Sad times we live in but it is real.
Nuclear War: A Scenario. Annie Jacobson just put out a RIVETING book on nuclear war. Excruciating detail description of a nuclear detonation.

Great show with great guests
Excellent show, as usual Nate...Curtis is amazingly informational...I really enjoyed this episode!
Up in the mountains, with all those trees, yeah, a fire will take you out. Lol Just ask anyone that lived in Paradise California.
Bigfoot. Some of them eatz hoomanz
Thank you for all information and videos you bring to us it’s so helpful and make sense. Your family and you have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤
I live a short distance and between the AFB that houses the B52 bombers and a government munitions manufacturing and testing facility and my home is less than 3 miles from and Interstate…I’m a goner!
You just described my location. Maybe we are neighbors?
Nice 😊
99% of us, even the preppers, are goners. There are soooo many things that have to go perfectly for someone to survive it's virtually impossible.

I live close to a base considered

I want to say I have ENJOYED THE HELL out of these conversations with Curtis Stone!!!
Thank you for you EXTREMELY VALUABLE CONTENT Nate & Curtis!!!
The coming mini ice age will certainly be that "wild card" A?!
Love you two guys and much respect to both of you. Been listening for years...
But you gotta get outta Canada ASAP, for so many different reasons. Not least amongst them being the political system and coming mini ice age.
It's the bit they're all missing. Politicians be acting crazy, running up national debts like there's no tomorrow. Well they know its bunker time. Cold is coming.
When you put in your electric well, you also need to put in a manual well for emergencies.
Anybody see the flooding videos coming out of south Florida the past few days?
Another storm is developing in Gulf of Mexico for next week.
This one might be headed a bit west they projected.
Just some things when considering where you want your land.
Hurricane vs tornado vs snowstorms vs flooding etc.
a lot of things that you are talking about is what I learned from studying for my Architecture degree. Urban planning specially.
There's 2 acres of the most fertile soil you'll ever find, here that is isolated and nobody can use it except hunting, camping and gardening. Was surrounded by local government flood control ditch and reservoir that isolated it, only one neighbor with a millionaire's home on the only side without water. It's wooded with several vernal ponds, otters and Blue Herron in the giant drainage ditch that passes through the East side with ownership of both banks. We can legally grow 10 cannabis plants for living needs here that makes the soil valuable. I could use half of it, and could use a partner to use the other half, it's not divisible.
What state?
@@jasonrobles161 Michigan, in the green thumb, it's special and an amazing find of land that was even donated to a church that claims to know nothing of history, its being sold through Berkshire Hathaway Realty.
where are you located?
@@toniwaldrop1401 I own a house in a Flint suburb bought cheap in 1990s after it was confiscated in Drug War, I grew up on a farm in Lapeer County, east of Flint.
Nate!!! I absolutely loved loved loved the 2 episode interview with Curtis!! for me this is THE best interview/video on the subject of surviving I have seen. The very unusual, innovative and thorough ways Curtis has developed are just so interesting! And I'm so delighted you are also moving in this direction! Would love to see more of this kinda stuff, is also more inspiring, that there ARE enjoyable ways to thrive and survive. Thanks Nate!!!!!!
Old underwear in reference to a hime?? All this seems cool, but where do you think gangs of arned people are going to come looking for people who planned and prepped?
Have your own gang of prepared individuals to cooperate with and defend one another. Easy 🤷🏽
I agree. These people will be wandering in packs of HUNDREDS. Lawless, hungry and with nothing to lose.
There wont be gangs. People fight eachother for scraps. Only small groups of people (10) may make their way a couple hundred km at the most. Outside that radius you wont see marauders. 🤔
@@kenhalinmckay5438 Any community has risk of gangs. Even a small town for a couple hundred will have young, desperate men attacking the weak. Assuming you are safe will be your downfall.
Teams, weapons (melee, and distance ), organization, and training! The more dense the population, the more members you will need to defend your area of operation and to protect your space.
Hi Nate, Thanks for another great thought provoking interview. You are one of the best interviewers I have seen. Your questions are well thought out and bring up good points that expand the discourse drawing out your guest's expertise.
Denver is safe from the big biblical wave. The earth will roll on its axis and we have the old equator back (see coral rock in arctic or mamoth frozed alive) It's modeled to be a safer spot. Before and after the event.

Not really, Colorado will not be safe at all! Not dureing a Polar shift event. Every mountain will shift East.

Trust Jesus not preps. Prep to to be wise.
Where is Jesus? What is Jesus doing for us? He dies for our sins yet so many people are sinning every day since he passed away, how many people have died over religion in history let alone Christianity it’s all a cult to divide one another into believing in a false prophet when in reality we are all individual gods, Seriously bro some magical guy in the sky is answering your prayers like how do we know if Jesus was even real or a “god” question Your own freaking religion!! I believe in God the one true creator of this world, that’s it not some prophet…
Jesus will save us after we die. You still gotta do the leg work
@@DMTEntity88I've questioned my own religion more then you have your own beliefs practically guaranteed. Jesus is coming back soon. We are living in the End Times as documented in Revelation. Jesus was a historical figure documented by internal and external sources. Read your Bible, pray and you'll find out all about him.
It is good to do both! Jesus tests us also! He will help those who help themselves! I am prepping like there is no tomorrow!
@@DMTEntity88Jesus is very real. I pray you find that connection with him and soon. It's all in scriptures. Not saying prepping is a bad thing though. Always good to be ready but at the end of the day,,,"We" are not in control.
Thank you @CanadianPrepper, great information
The best is to have a bait ( house ) . You need a underground bunker not too far . Close to that a tree hunting sleeping stuff . You need 2 other place to sleep for all bad scenario .
Great guest. Super important things to consider. Thanks Nate
What do you guys think about a property that's not remote but is surrounding by Amish?
A++++++
Get to know your neighbors. OFFER to give them rides wherever/whenever they need. Take them thrift and yard sale shopping.
The reward to you will be immeasurable.
Amish don't have guns.
Make friends with them definitely
People will be raiding the Amish properties as much as any other, especially with the prospect of there being food or supplies there
Amish are great neighbours.
A key to what I did for privacy and security was to get workers from other cities which would stay and work fast so they could leave and obviously I only payed them when all was 100% done.
Getting people from around know your home, secret places, bunkers etc.
That's great,buy Some land get some animals build a homestead.Great advice considering most people are living paycheck to paycheck in this economy..and that most people in this country live in either urban areas or suburbs and don't have the luxury of that kind of prepping when their just trying keep the lights on and feed their family.
Yep, these conversations, all I hear is,"Bla, bla, I'm rich. Bla, bla, I'm rich. Bla, bla, look at the funny poor people. "
You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, and so on. Start there. That is 14 people, not including aunts and uncles, that are aging, and some live on farms that could use a young willing-to-learn person such as yourself. The age of the average farmer is in the late 60's. So quit whining and think in generational time, instead of consumer time. You need to watch the John Wayne movie, "The Quiet Man", to understand how country people think. The scene where the men at the pub decided that he was entitled to buy the old homestead over his rival, BECAUSE IT WAS HIS BIRTHPLACE, is still in effect in the county that I live in right here in the U.S. Watch the darn movie and try to learn something.
Maybe you should have paid attention and planned ahead years ago. Your laziness is your problem no one else’s
finally a permaculture themed podcast, its a long time coming, great job! you can't talk about off gridding sustainably and successfully without permaculture
I live west of D.C. I’m TOAST!!!

So.... Loudoun co? Sterling. Ashburn... Sholes
@@joeblow8206 lol! Sterling. I was a Flight Attendant for over 15 years and had a 2 mile commute. I filled my car with gas once every 2 months! Everything has a season…
Consideration #1 - Unless an individual was going to under take this approach by themselves, that persons spouse would have to be on board. That would need to be both the continued hard work and the matter of non disclosure. Preppers in general represent a percentage of the general population of 2%? Of those of us, what would the guess be of spouses being fully on board? An example being my wife, she was raised in India as an expat. What I was unaware of is that the family had many servants. Her fall back position when things get tough is to withdraw.
I am thinking about bugging out on the ocean and stopping at various islands etc, buying a live aboard yacht...what do you think, would love to read your suggestions ?
Been thinking somewhat of the same thing buttttt.... if we are at war and one of the enemy ships sees you your screwed. Just food for thought
It's your best chance to survive a initial nuclear war. You'll be at a massive advantage in terms of survivability compared to those who are land locked.

Efficiency with your time and resources will be the fastest route to your goal. Be thoughtful and methodical, take your time and do it right.
I’d say a homestead of 2-10 acres within a rural community where you have like minded neighbors is best. If you can defend the whole area, block roads, have a local militia comprised of neighbors you’ll have a better chance of survival. Other issue: both Nate and Curtis live in Canada so while Nate is way more prepared with respect to weapons, it’s still Canada and what happens if U.S. raiders cross the unenforceable U.S./ Canada border with all the assault rifles that are NOT banned in the u.S.? Canadian farmers/homesteaders like Curtis, who to my knowledge has never done a weapons/gun video, will be easy pickings….
We strategically relocated within BC two years ago from south to north and it has been such a good decision. We chose somewhere more than a tank of gas from a major city.
Was wondering what part of the province this guess is from. Interesting video- thanks!
i have been trying to warn the people of my small town about the "raiders" when things go to shit... of course i am crazy...
Ive been looking at you chanell all afternoon. Now i find this video, 4 hours after it was posted!!! It wasnt listed (to me in Australia) for 4 hours!!
A community not alone . A village or town had a chance not solo . And so many guy’s say go north . I look at that as a longer winter not what I want .
I agree 100%. I'd say that its better to be immediately adjacent to a smaller town. If your homestead is totally isolated it will be VERY easy for bandits to raid it and VERY difficult for a single familly to defend it.

Glad to see you give information that’s useful. The news you give is something that has taken over your channel. Ground roots information is getting more and more critical. Great job!
