We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"
We are sorry for the delay in videos. We’ve had a tough time as a family and needed to pull back, slow down some, cry some, and start again. Thank you so much for all the love you’ve shared with us ❤️
Just move on, dont back.
What happened guys!!
Sorry about your loss and I'm glad to see you guys back running full steam ahead.
Love you guys, morn your loss I know the feeling with losing a fur baby. 😥
@@lastfirst9791 Chuch, the dog recently passed away.
You gave your dog a great life. Mourning his absence is healthy…the tears are normal IMO. Shows that you are empathetic, caring human beings. May the force be with you…..always!
It's always hard to lose a member of the family which you'll dog was. I myself still cry when I think of all my dogs and cats.
It is always so hard to lose a great friend.
Each dog I have adopted holds a special place in my heart, they are all family. One in particular, a Bull Terrier/ American Staffordshire mix, adopted me.
He was my shadow for almost 10 years...he has been gone now for 11 years...and I find myself sobbing as I write this.
They are all special.
Each of them has a particular personality...
Your pain and anguish will seem torturous at times.
But you will heal. Your lives were made better by the love you shared.
I wish you healing and love.
Joe.
Thanks for sharing Chuck (and everything else) with us. Dog lovers understand how important they are to us.
I couldn't have said it better.
It’s the worst that they don’t last forever. ❤️🙏😢
The hard part about losing Chuckie is not that he's gone... it's that everywhere you go on your property you can still feel him there! He is such an integral part of your story...and always will be because love is stronger than death! Our hearts are sad alongside yours! Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California.
I live within 3 miles from Disneyland, love this Family and the journey they are on!
All of us pet people know what you're going through Erin and yes we even shed tears for your broken heart. Love you guys, stay strong.
It's so nice seeing a man who is such a good dad and husband. I didn't have that in my childhood or my marriage. It is so beautiful to see.
I agree. It’s like a diamond in the rough. Men like Josh are not easy to stumble upon. I never had it in my life either. I saw my dad once in my life. Im a widow now, but my son had a good father. It is beautiful. God bless your happy home.
believe it or not there are more good ones than bad ones
@@debeeriz hasn't been my experience, but I'm hoping to find one. LOL
@@Piaphamu if you hang around in pig styes, you are bound to find pigs
@@debeeriz really! Where are they, hiding.
I’m really devastated about Chuck and when Erin started crying, I started sobbing. I hope the family is doing better. I know how it feels like to lose your doggie. Love you guys ❤️
Dang, glad I read your comment first. I'll save this for later when I'm ready for a cry.
I’m glad I’m not the only one.
@@josepherwin5122 ditto
Yes so did I.... I didn't know about Chuckie yet either and when she started cry I lost it to... I didn't believe my ears at first .
Y’all- seeing the bush, flowers being planted has me, a combat veteran, balling my eyes out. Oh how our pets become so important to us. My dogs give 1000% of themselves. They exist solely to comfort us. I feel your pain.
Similar life here. Love my dogs. I trust Pets Before people.
Same here. Had to stop the video because I could no longer see it.
Thank you for your service!
I’ve been watching your channel for quite a while. I do believe you guys have managed to turn your channel into a TV Series.
Good job y’all deserve all good things which come your way👍
Really sorry for your family’s loss, Chuck was an amazing companion keep the happy memories alive and he will always be with you.
With parents like you, it's never surprising that those kids are as wonderful as you are, we love you guys and Chuck too! 🙏 ❤️
So sorry for your loss. Losing a member of your family is always tough, take all the time you guys need. Family always comes first. We'll be here when you're ready.
Chuck will always be remembered for the smiles he brought to us. I know he was a beloved family member. Sending a super big hug.
So sorry about Chuck. A dog with real character who lived a long life in a loving home. What puppy could ask for more? So glad you’ve drawn together as a family to grieve and celebrate him. What a lovely resting place for him.
It's so hard letting go of a furbaby no matter what age. They're leaving takes so much with them including a piece of your hearts. Just know he's always watching over you all and gives his official seal of approval...job well done.
Sweet Chucky - he lived a good life and was VERY loved. He'll watch over the place forever. Glad you kept him close by.
I can feel how hard this was to film and edit for you,
you captured the feeling of absence so beautifully. Sad, heart breaking but also so beautiful :(
So sorry to see Chuck go, he's been such a big part of this, he will be truly missed. Sending love and strength to you and the children xxx
Hello Ann how are you doing?
As a rescue home for sick and elderly dogs I feel your pain. The sense of loss is sometimes overwhelming and it leaves a scar on your soul. We currently have 7 fur babies and like all the others, regardless of how long they share their lives with us we will treasure the priceless memories. Its hard to not shed tears of sadness when they leave. We have learned after so many losses to shed tears of joy for the time (always too short) they spent with us. They made a difference in our lives. All we can hope is we made their lives more comfortable in the end. Losing a freind of any type is never easy. Our hearts go out to you. Be strong, visit happy memories, laugh and cry. they are never far away as they live in your heart. Hold your chest and smile. They are there.
Just a heads up. With ducks, you need to make sure that you have at least 5 females for every male. If you have too many males they usually end up over mating, and can end up drowning the females in the process.
So sorry for the loss of Chuck, such a wonderful supervisor he has been. The flowers look beautiful that you placed for him.
Absolutely broke down in tears when I saw Erin crying. I think we all understand the sense of loss when a pet that we so very much cared for passes away. I am truly sorry for your loss, guys. I bid you all the peace you deserve.
Here's to Chuck! Long may his memory remain. Your love and care for all your creatures is heartwarming and uplifting. Thank you so much for sharing!
Here is a beautiful epithaph to a Dog by Lord Byron :
Near this Spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferosity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.
Rest In Peace Chuck
I am literally fighting through the tears to post this, So very sorry for your loss, through your videos you made it very clear the love you all had for Chuck, and the wonderful life he had with you, and it’s with that love, he will forever is smiling down on you
I love who both of you are. Thank you for sharing this new view of you to us. You are both even more adorable for seeing you caring and vulnerable to your loss and missing Chuck. I love both of you for how you play and also support each other through all you do. Praying for you and all of yours throughout every remembrance of you too.
The beautiful sunset after the storm was like a new beginning after loss. It’s nice you can remember Chuck together as a family with so much love.
I'm sorry for your loss of Chuck, he was a stand-up guy. A regular on vlog, always showing up to check up what you were doing. He will be missed by his fans...
I’ve been with you all from the beginning, you’ve become a part of our lives as well. We feel your excitement, your achievements, your frustrations and your pain. We’ve watched the kids grow up, Josh’s beard forever changing, the incredible relationship between the two of you, and your incredible family/animals bond. Rest In Peace Chuck, we will miss you very much too!!
Chuck had the most amazing life with an amazing family. Heaven on earth I say… now he can see, no more pain, no more age standing in his way. Playing with all the other doggies with wings having a blast! He is telling them about you and all the fun journeys you have taken him. He is the talk of heaven right now❣️❤️🌻🙏❤️🌻
Hello Cindy how are you doing
Hugs to you Erin and the rest of the family. Its very hard when you lose a family member. Xoxo
What a great life Chuckie got to live!! Thank you for sharing him with us.
Same thougths.
Living with this family was a blessing to him.
I also know what it's like to lose a 15 year best friend. I still have tears. You all just do what you need to do, we understand. It is good to see you back though.❤
It’s always difficult to lose a loving pet. Chuck was a beautiful part of your family and will always be remembered with love!
Josh, Erin, and family. I was so sad to hear Chuckie passed. I cried with you. Love your family and all your critters. Thanks for sharing your home and life with us. We look forward to every video. Praying for peace, comfort, and joy. Above all, joy. God bless.
Sorry for you loss of Chuck. I know how hard it is when a family member goes away. It´s really tuff and it takes time to go on. Love to you all.
I knew that this was coming from the last video but it was just heart breaking to watch and read the faces on this wonderful family. Don't be concerned about the delay...we certainly understand. Your place is looking so beautiful and I am happy for your progress and the joy it brings you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Crying again. Chuckie will truly be missed. He would have loved all the new grass. Sending hugs to you all. Thank you for sharing. 💓🐾💓
I love how you guys share so much with us. Hang in there guys.. No worries on video delays we are not going anywhere
Yes I jumped the gun on them a few weeks ago when the Wednesday video and the Sunday video didn't drop.
So I sent a post on their last video asking if they were all right was worried something may have happened.but nope they were just a bit overwhelmed with school projects and work on properties so this time I said nope not dojng it LOL I just trusted they were busy and needed time to figure things out.
I enjoy and envy their life they've built so much I guess I've really become attached and excited for the next video to pop up. They are quite the couple and family with all there critters being part of the family and show as well.
Have a great day 🙏
One of my fav quotes from a while back:
Erin: "well how is Chuck going to get in there?"
Josh: "He's going to fly in... with his cape on."
Safe passage, ol' buddy...
Just know we too are devastated at Chuck going on through. Such a lovely memory for all of us.
Hugs from Laramie.
Ps. 7 inches of new snow.. In his lovely memory.
We will all miss seeing Chuck stupervising you all! All dogs so loyal for so many years, it is hard to let them go when they ultimately leave us!
I have watched you guys since the beginning when you were all living in the RV and measuring out for the foundation of your house and I have followed you ever since you have such a beautiful family I have laughed I have cried and have always supported you guys but by far this was the hardest one to watch because Chucky was a legend and I absolutely loved him I know it's hard to fathom but he was the star of your channel and we all loved him and he will be dearly missed and I'm so sorry for you and the kids to have lost such a perfect little being I recently adopted a micro teacup Chihuahua and I could only imagine losing her so thank you guys for allowing us to share in this grief with you I cried like a baby when I heard it I'm so so sorry for you guys 💔🐈⬛
Yes I'm just now finding this out. When did i miss this and what happened please? 🙏
Chucky passed away in between their last video and this and if you go back there last video was them putting the grass in so it's been about a month maybe but they lost their precious little dog and they took a few weeks off so today was their first video since so if you go back if you just click on wild wonderful off grid and go back to their last video you'll see Chucky he was there he was supervising LOL he was a sweet little dog and we will all miss him
@@butwereallsombdyspecial I believe he just passed, he was an older dog.
@@shainazion4073 that's what I thought and I sure hope so. Thank you - I finally saw the announcement today from 12 days ago? This isn't normal for my notifications.
My entire day has been very somber for all of the family.
😔🤲💜
It’s been a journey watching your family grow on your channel. And now a tear for Chuck. He’ll be waiting at the rainbow bridge.
Love the love in your family!!! Rest in peace, Chuck.
We are crying with y’all. 💕 thank you for sharing Chuckie with us these last couple of years.
It was always the highlight of the video when Chuck came to inspect the job's, I always looked forward to seeing him, it always made me smile, I miss him myself, can't imagine how you guys feel, he was part of your family. Rest in peace Chuck.
Awww guys! So so sorry for your loss! Sending lots of love to u and your family ❤️
Always remember that you gave chuck a Wild Wonderful Off-Grid life.Never easy to loose the Ones we love.
You guys are alway amazing with your shows I have enjoyed watching you for years and my husband loved watching you before he passed away 23 months ago. We watched you together every show. You have made your place a beautiful safe place for your family and the happiness radiates from all of you. That you for sharing your lives with us. I am 74 now and my husband and I built a log home together about 36 years ago. We had our nine children the oldest 16 and 5 of them worked with us. It was beautiful. The memories are forever with me. Love you guys and may the Lord bless and keep you and your family.
Hello Deborah how are you doing
I cried when I heard about Chicky. I cried again watching this video. I raised two chows who loved my youngest daughter's, they were killed one by one. I must say one of best breeds to protect your family. No need to train just give them love I assure you will be impressed to there loyalty. I loved Chicky.
Can only imagine how much you are all missing Chuck he was a lovely dog with an awesome character he always made me laugh , RIP Chuck he had a wonderful life
Absolutely incredible! Your production, photography and nuance are perfect. The emotions you are able to capture is of the highest level. I have been following you from the beginning and I have the highest regard for your abilities. What an episode I just watched. Your future is bright. My sincere compliments.
I can see the heartache in Josh's eyes when seeing how upset Erin is. Being the "rock" in those situations is very difficult. Often times having to suppress your own grief to ensure your family is ok. Well done being there for your family and giving them the support they need Josh.
Josh is an excellent husband and dad.
Josh is a great husband & father, he'll take good care of his family. I know it's hard on Josh too, Praying for all of you, God bless you. Take time to grief and rest, we understand your loss.
Your video showed an image of the house from a distance that really showed the incredible contrast with the stained deck and stone wall that really caught my eye. I cant believe how awesome the house looks from the field. You guys need to capture that into a large framed picture to hang on a wall inside the house
RIP Chuck. It is always surprising how much of our heart a loved pet takes up. He will be watching from above. Thank you for sharing your lives and adventures with us.
Beautiful videography Erin, the purely genuine love that you have for each other is an inspiration to us all,
Sleep well Chuck , tanks for the memories.. ❤️❤️
It's amazing how our little fuzzy friends attach to our hearts. You guys did well choosing a spot to remember him.
Now I'm over here balling........it's so hard when we lose our pets!!! Everything is looking great!!!!
It is wonderful watching how well the both of you work together to make your dream home come true. With just the two of you doing the majority of the work it can at times seem overwhelming. You both handle the stress of adversity very well which is part of life. Life does not always go the way you want or wish it would. Sometimes it is necessary to stop take a break realize you have accomplished a lot already. Good luck.
My heart aches for your loss. Bear hugs from me to your family. I loved watching your son wrench on his own bike. They are learning life skills to put them far ahead of other kids their age. Love your family!
What happened???
@@AngriestAmerican Their dog Chuck passed away.
RIP Chuck I feel for you all it is hard for every one when this happens stay strong and remember the great time with him sorry for your loss.
Your tears are of love and sadness missing him, but his spirit has tears of joy for you and knowing that his spirit is always near to protect you guys...
I never met him other than seeing him on your videos, these furry things just have a way of engraining themselves in our lives and spirit. I truly believe my love of animals has made me a better man. Love always remains!
Proud of Hayden too. Such a great example set by his parents that I'm not the least surprised. Beautiful walk being planned and built. RIP Chuck, you are loved and missed.
hmm, I think it should be WIDER
they will regret that they didn't make it as wide as the staircase.
I’m so sad to hear about Chuck. “It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.” - John Grogan (Author, Marley & Me)
Nice to see the kids growing up and taking on tasks for themselves that tells me that you both are bringing them up properly. Beautiful video and it is okay to mourn foreman Chucky's departure he is smiling down on all of you.
Never forget that everyone is different. Just because you see kids doing something that you dont see as "proper" doesnt mean kids are brought up "properly"
Other then that have a nice day :)
Once again Tip of the Hat to ole Chuck - thanks pal, these two would still be living in a van down by the river if it wasnt for your tutelage, Sweet dreams buddy
Every time I watch your videos, I always look forward to two things : hearing Ellie laugh, because it’s filled with pure innocence and wonder…and seeing Chuck.
Chuck represents all that a good dog means to a family. Loyalty, unconditional acceptance, devoted companionship, good humor, the occasional odd smell and the willingness to be hugged almost brutally by small children.
I knew when I saw the title of this video that both of those things were unlikely. Children are resilient when they’re young and I loved hearing your baby girl giggling with the ducks. The world needs more of that joyful enthusiasm. God Bless her!
I’ve never felt so strongly about someone else’s pet, much less one I never actually met. I have lost a few really great dogs, it’s hard. And I cannot stress ‘hard’ nearly enough. My heart goes out to your family. May you find peace in this time of sorrow.
Bless you, Chuck! You made a family, and a lot of their admiring fans, very happy while it was your season to do so.
hearing ellie say Mommy!
So very sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. He loved his family and brought so many smiles to all of us. I just adored him too. Rest easy Chuck. bless you all. 🕊
Hello Kerry how are you doing
It’s tough to loose them. They become an important part of lives. The place you laid him to rest looks so peaceful. I couldn’t help but cry with you.
My deepest condolences on your great loss, losing a pet like Chuck was no doubt like losing a part of your family, lots of love from your Canadian Neighbor's
Thank you for sharing this, we can watch anybody build stuff, it is the Incredible family connection that sets you apart! So sorry for your loss.
RIP Chuck…Thanks to you all for sharing your lives with us and rest assured he lived a very fulfilled life there with all of you. Build inspections will never be the same!
I've watched you from the beginning and Chucky was always there managing and supporting the construction and the family. It breaks our hearts that it was his time to cross over. There's not a dry eye in the house. We feel you😭. Just know he is watching over you and you will see him again one day on the other side. My prayers are with you.💔🐾🎆🥰💋
Hugs ya'll. It is never easy to lose a pet, especially one you've had for a long time He was special and I know there is a big whole in all of your hearts. Part of life, but never easy.
Thank you for those quiet reflective moments to remember Chuck. His passing still hurts deeply. 😥
I love your channel and have been watching from the beginning. As a dog owner/lover, I have been fearing this day for you as I have watched Chuck getting up in years. Praying for comfort and peace during this time. You guys are great...such an inspiration. You have a great family and are doing a wonderful job raising you kids and growing your homestead. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride. Stay well.
I am so sorry for the loss of Chuck. I always looked forward to seeing him as he always brought a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing him with us!
Chuck, helped raise those kids & cheer the two of you on in all you do. He was always, staying so close to you 2. 💓 Thanks for sharing this part of your life as he was part of our experience with all of you too! Thanks for sharing it with us, it just adds to the richness of all of you. Thankyou & big 🫂 🤗 ❤️ 💙 💜
So sorry for your loss of your buddy, Chuck 😔. God bless you all and I wish you peace and comfort through this tough time.
The amount of love in your life is magical.
So sorry to hear about your loss. The connections formed in this life are like nerves. The loss is like a wound. You can feel it physically in your chest. That means it was real.
Erin, hang in their, I lost my Lab two years ago, now I remember him fondly without the breakdown, but it took awhile. Josh truly loves you, he shows it in his eyes every time he looks at you. Your a good man Josh.
I'm really going to miss Chuck. He was a great supervisor, always happy, always at the ready. He looked just like a baby Zuul, and he was cute. When they make such a huge impact on your lives, you will never forget them.
I am sorry to hear of Chucky's passing. I just lost my girl Libby in January and understand how close to them you can be. Thank you for sharing this private thing with all of us. Chuck had such an awesome family and had a great life! Prayers to your family as you move on.
Hey Ace. I’m sorry Libby isn’t with you any longer. Lost my Buddy last year and it still hurts. No,it still rips my heart to shreds, it’s worse then hurting. It’s torture some days. I bet Libby was so special to you, and there will never be another like her. The thing about owning pets is that one day you and your friend will be separated from each other. Usually by death,and we have to accept that when we get that lil puppy that fits in our pocket or shoe, that we’ll also have to tell them goodbye one day. I’m sure Libby is missed, and I felt the pain in your comment. I asked myself if the experience of watching my best friend die, and not being able to do anything was worth it. I came to the conclusion that the love I shared with Buddy was worth the pain I feel now, and I wouldn’t change getting him for anything in this crazy world. I’m so sorry for anyone that’s lost a friend,a pet, and a family member all rolled up into one. It’ll get easier,but it’ll still hurt Ace. Keep on keeping on. RIP CHUCK,RIP LIBBY, RIP BUDDY
I’ve been watching your channel from the beginning, but this is the first time I’ve commented. We moved to a cabin in the woods a few years ago, and two years later lost our version of Chuck - our 15 year old chihuahua/corgi Simon. I know this pain so well and thank you for sharing Chuck with all of us. He will be so dearly missed and well remembered by many.
Thank you for letting us all be a part of your family life. I have watched every video of you all from the beginning, even when Erin had Ellie as a toddler on her back, whilst you were putting up the A Frames together. Chuck will be missed by all of us viewers as well as you guys. R.I.P. Chuck you will be able to check on Josh’s work whilst enjoying your bone’s in heaven. Thank you for all your hard work guys, and I look forward to seeing the rest of the house being built as you go forward. Thank you from Lee in Wales UK.
God bless you both have a beautiful life both of you have been done a fantastic job but God bless you both
I appreciate being on your channel and I still love you be safe and the children
we will miss seeing chuck.thank you for allowing us to watch your family.i look forward each time i sit down to watch you guys. R.I.P. CHUCK 🐶
I am really going to miss old Chuck too. I always anticipated a shot of him in your videos. A wonderful communion you had for him.
All our dogs that have passd over the years are buried with an almond tree in our-garden in the middle of France - our vet said this was a good way to remember them as you can talk to them as you wander round the garden - So you will never be without Chuckie a great character -
Your tribute to Chuck really touches the heart. God bless you all.
It broke my heart when Erin was crying It's so hard to loose a fur baby. I am so sorry. I am waiting on my soil erosion mats to get delivered. Then I am seeding my back yard again. So excited to see it worked. I guess I had confidence in your research because I bought the straw erosion blankets immediately after your video.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Oh, that kills me. I LOVE how much you love Chuckie, and all your animals. I’m so happy I found your family. It gives me so much satisfaction to watch your progress and interactions. Each of your family inspires me and motivates me, it really does.
Hello A Random how are you doing
Where are you from?
Always remember that he's watching an when you see a butterfly it's him letting you know he's still there with you sending hugs
Hi Paulene how are you doing
I’m so sorry for your loss, and our loss, I love that little boss. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Sooo sorry to hear about Chuck! The loss of a fur baby is tuff! Take your time to grave and enjoy the memories you all had with him...
Chuck lived an amazing life and shared so many memories with you guys, I’m so very glad to have have watched those times. Losing a pet is very hard, praying that you guys have the strength! May Chuck always be in your heart ❤️ 🐾
Pets...are family!. Prayers up, Chuck will always be there in your hearts and mind. The love you gave him and he gave back will always be a testament he was a family member. So sorry for your loss, its never easy. 🙏
I know how y’all feel, I lost my “buddy” last sept. I had to have him down as he could not get up. And was 150+lb bullmastiff. I’m sure he is there in sprit and or watching from doggy heaven. Stay strong you all got this. ✌️❤️
Sorry for your loss. It's hard and a lot of people don't get that bond and are like ours just a dog... they are not.. it's been like 2 1/2 years now since I lost my best friend and it still hurts every single day. Specially when she saved me from cancer but I couldn't do the same for her. I'm not super religious but I feel like she's waiting for me in whatever is after this life.
@@unknownnln9172 thank you. I’m sorry for your loss too. And remember all dogs go to heaven 😉
Losing a furbaby is always tough, especially when he's involved in everything like he was. I'm sorry for y'all's loss😪
