Watching you two on Sundays and Wednesdays is my therapy... I'm old, my body isn't what it once was, and there are days when I get down because of that but you two never fail to lift my spirits so thank you for thar.
Idem ditto!
Same
Yep yep!!
Bien dit ! Vous vivez tous les deux la vie que je voudrais si je le pouvais, et vous regarder et vous écouter est tellement thérapeutique.
Y a-t-il une chance que vous puissiez avoir un vlog/blog de rechange comme sauvegarde pour jouer pendant une semaine dont vous avez besoin pour faire une pause ?
Me too, I love these two women and what they are creating together! ❤❤
Rollin on the River - not the deep end. Love you!
Garden Tip: don’t plan projects at harvest time. Harvesting food, washing prepping, canning, storing and prepping your garden for next year takes more time than you think 😊.
Such a great tip!
*Sigh* I hope I take my own advice this year 😂 I wish I was a better canner but it takes soooo long!!! And if you get it just a little bit wrong you either waste your beautiful homegrown food or spend days in the loo 🤭 So prep vac seal and freeze it is and even that takes time and has to happen right as things are ready to get the best freshness and it’s not like I have a huge garden 😂😂
Do you follow Mel's Four Square Gardening method?
One thing my wife and I learned in our fifty years together is to never go to bed without saying I love you. Even if that was the only thing we said to each other that day. We always found the next day was going to be find. And like Crystal says we were joined at the hip and did absolutely everything together.
Been gardening and canning for 40 years. My favorite thing next to knitting
👆Thank you 👆 for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️
☝️✍️Get in touch with me, I have something to share with you...
Yes, for the gardening, I'm new too, took the deep dive!💜💜💜
YES to the gardening vlogs!
You gals need a screened front door - on a spring that automatically shuts! Will help keep the critters out☺️
Crystals laugh and smile got me hooked
Having watched most of their videos, Crystal is just so darned cute that I always wanted to ask her how she handles getting hit on by no doubt tons of men. lol
@@GaryJones2012 paying a complement to a girl who most know she's not single is not hitting on. thats in ur mind only. Just saying
I have been watching you guys on RUclips since you started Van Wives.. Thanks. Being an only child, and old, you are like family.
Well done on these Podcasts girls. Really love them. Off course you fall out sometimes. You are a normal couple. I loved that you never go to sleep on an argument. My wife and I were together for 30 years before I lost her last year, and kept to this. Also I apologised. Not always my fault but thought it best to do this. I'm sitting here with the model of your cabin that I made, so you are always with me!!
You two ladies are made for each the chemistry is electric between you work together so well
You wouldn't believe how quick 52 minutes 53 seconds went, I could listen to you two for hours. The best thing about having a disagreement is making up, and do it quickly. I loved gardening when I was able, I can't wait to see your garden. Don't forget to grow “runner beans”
Lots of love from Mike. ❤❤❤❤ one each for your dogs
Crystal!!! I have to tell you about a term I invented!! Harrytrekwars. I don't watch and refuse to spend time on Harry Potter, start trek and star wars. I have nothing against them, it's just not for me. I invented this term 16 years ago and I've held true! I just wanted to you know you are not alone on those! When someone references one of those I just tell them "harrytrekwars" and they they go "oh that's right. You wouldn't know" lol it's a thing!
Your video editing is really well done!
I’m really enjoying your podcast. Thanks for sharing so much with us. Congrats on your gardening success. 🧡🚜🧡
Crystal, your not alone in the Harry Potter saga and the other chosen titles! I am a lot a like! You two are so ch fun to watch, thanks!
6:40 Fun is the KEY 🔑 🥰
Gardening. Sitting on the couch. Jumping in the pond. Doing chores. Doesn't matter. Just do You, We will watch. I love all 4 of you!!
I have never watched Harry Potter or star wars, and I'm doing just fine lol . I love watching you two, you make me smile !
Same...😊
Crystal .... I'm with you on Harry Potter, StarWars etc. Don't be ashamed ... you are among friends. 🎉🎉🎉
Loved this Podcast. It's the 1st time I've been able to just sit and pay attention. Going on 7 yrs, huh.... we just celebrated 50 years married and so much of this conversation sounded familiar. We absolutely love your Sunday posts. Thank you for sharing!
There are definitely Moose in Nova Scotia. There are two different species, Mainland Moose and Cape Breton Moose. Hope you safely get to see a wild one!
👆Thank you 👆 for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️
I have been slogging away in my garden for the past week, loving every minute of it and aching from head to toe. This 65 year old body feels everything - but, that’s okay. It is so nice to sit down and watch this podcast. You have made me relax and just enjoy hearing your perspectives. BTW - on occasion, I do go to bed angry and I usually wake up with a better perspective. 😂🤣😂 FYI - one of the best garden channels on RUclips is Garden Answer. Laura knows her stuff and has a work ethic like you both do. I look forward to seeing more of your gardening journey.
You are each beautiful human beings, but even more so together. Cheering you on in your life pursuits.
☝️✍️Get in touch with me, I have something to share with you...
I am really enjoying these podcasts! I would be interested in hearing an in depth one on plant based eating, recipes, what a typical day of food intake looks like! Love the energy and healthy lifestyle you both have!
The gardening is my favorite part! It’s so satisfying seeing the yield.
Fun podcast today, Ladies! Y’all made cleaning out my car way easier!
Enjoy your 🍕! *woof woof*
Not surprised at your podcast success. You two are entertaining as Bella and Izzy! This one was especially good. Loved your insight into relationships and really enjoyed the in depth honesty. This was the one that will keep me watching/listening. Today I did dishes and prepped for my shower while I listened. Thanks for the boost to my mood.
They secretly can't wait for the next polar vortex, don't let them fool you. wink wink. eh? Besides who wouldn't like listening to these lovely ladies? Come on, 10 out of 10 stars, that's your rating! :)
Thank you once again, your pod cast makes my week way better. I can get things done and be informed and entertained. So look forward to listening to the two of you.
Love getting to know you on the podcast - and also love that you offer it as a video version!
Can’t wait for Porter’s episode!
What about a screen door to help solve your indoor bird and spider problem? It’s not as nice as having an open doorway, but it beats co-habitating with spiders half the size of your hand!
I lived with gigantic spiders in my young crazy days and to this day I don’t know how I did it, haha.
Always was excited for sunday to watch the progress of you two, and now I get to look forward to Wednesday for pack chat. I am thankful you guys expanded your time with us and sharing your lives!
As a Harry Potter fan, just wanna say it's okay to not watch them! I wouldn't have watched them if I hadn't read the books when I was a child. You had other things going on and that's a good thing!!
Feedback appreciated 👍
Message let's talk✅💌
I love the contrast of Jazzy sitting there in a singlet and Crystal in a jumper. I just love listening to you both. Xxx
Awww Crystal I don’t blame you for not watching! You’re more of an outdoors person! You like to live in the moment. You don’t strike me as the type to sit down for hours and watch tv 😅 youd rather see the world!
I've never read a word of Harry Potter or seen any of the movies. I think you're adorable, Chrystal.
I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I would never hold it against anyone who isn’t. “To each his own”
So not a movie person - on the Crystal band wagon with that lol 😂 People tend to be really passionate, about showing you all the favorites, so no worries there lol! Sending love to you both, and pups - Happy Spring/Summer! Loves
You bring so much joy to us - you deserve every ounce of love and success that circles back around. Love you oodles. xx
Loving your soul tie happy vibe! Love you two and your fur children. From Norte California.
Great podcast guys , love the gardening 👩🌾, there is so much to learn but it’s fun watching it all grow , try perpetual spinach it doesn’t mind the cold . 🐶🐶❤️
I’m so grateful that you two decided to start this pod. It lets us into a deeper side of your lives and personalities and I AM HERE FOR IT! I feel like I’m sitting on the couch with my besties! ❤
Me too, I feel the exact way u do yay. 4 us..XOXO
Such a joy to listen to your wisdom. Looking forward to the podcast with Porter…such a cool dude. He definitely made your projects easier and more fun!
Someone mentioned you shouldn’t make plan during harvest. Such a true statement.
So, Jaz, you’ll want to be researching preservation: canning, freezing, drying or root cellar?
Start planning now.
Also, this was a great one. You two didn’t take long to settle right in to podcasting. I think that there are many reasons for your success. One is that you are authentic and another is you
always include your listeners.
☝️✍️Get in touch with me, I have something to share with you...
WHOA WHOA WHOA I can relate with not seeing Harry Potter, but Mean Girls too? OMG!
Knowing where and how an animal was raised is most important.... my grandparent's, and my dad's family is one of the most prolific farms ,once dairy, then horses, then pigs, then now bison.. but acres of plant life as well.... they raised all of us to respect the land and animals. You take care of both and the best thing to do is when it comes to either... make it quick and be thankful... home grown farm families get why meat is sold... they also understand why. Soy beans chickpeas, eggs, corn, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, salsa, and everything in it.
What comes across with you ladies is you’re living a authentic life to you and for me that’s what so attractive about you ladies luv from Brian
Thanks Brian xx happy we can share it with you all
Can’t wait for Porter 🥳
I love watching the podcast, it feels so cozy, like friends around a campfire. Maybe its all the blankets and sleepy puppies. Whenever I need motivation to write I tune in and feel my own energy go up from seeing both of you interact with each other and us. Have you ever thought of sharing some of your recipies? I know I've been jealous of some of the tastey treats I see you eat, especially the pizzas!!
Gardening it's a lost art. We need to take our power. I really enjoy everything you do. 🎉❤
We love to watch because you are both authentic, happy and live an interesting life. You are both amazing. I’m 64, retired and I like happy people and I love travel and building cabins. Love watching you two. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. ❤❤❤❤
Feedback appreciated 👍

Hey girls I'm so impressed of how you two just keep adding layers of enthusiasm on these podcasts. Also again both of you're personalities are just so amazing ❤ it. I have had a really bad headache the last 36 hours. But seeing and hearing you two talking life is just so liberating and weirdly is helping with my headache. So once again thank you two for another great podcast episode 😜😁👍 . Stay safe all ❤ Michael 🇩🇰. PS. Nico says wuf wuf to Bella and Izzy.
#Porter!!!! Yay
I am loving the podcast! Only found it after last week and really makes my late nights laughable listening to you both! Crystal loving the seek discomfort merch too! You both are bossing it with how you present yourselves as creatives and it is a genuine pleasure seeing allof the proects come to fruition through your hard work and determination. I started growing my own food in my garden here in Spain two years ago and I am obsessed ever since, so the gardening obsession is real! Plus the saving on fruit and veggies is amazing!
I enjoy the gardening videos…diy as well. Love the whole channel 😊
I use orange essential oil with a little water in a spray bottle. This keeps the spiders away. I would do the outside perimeter and in closets. ❤
I cannot express how much I love not just this podcast but also the RUclips channel! You both are just so amazing and so inspiring. I am the same way I am I feed off of the people or energy in the room, I can literally get along with just about anyone. #porter Crystal I haven’t watched those movies either…. Yikes I know I have tried several times to watch it and I just can’t. Sorry Did you get Izzy & Bella together? Or did Jasmine have them when you met? I’m just curious. I love the gardening vlogs! I don’t have enough room for a garden so I have been doing plants in pots. I am so excited for fresh tomatoes 🍅💜💜💜💜
Love the green yoga house! You're fun, inspirational, enthusiastic and your homestead is wonderful. We all need a shot of what you share.
Yes, having fun and enjoy listening … you’re really great❗️👍 🎉
👆Thank you 👆 for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️
Wish I was your neighbor… I’m a Special Education teacher from New York and would love to have a summer place near you two! Keep up the great work on your channels…. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM 💐🦋🐝💕
I'm just glad that you are doing gardening because I have been wondering how the fruit trees have been..I remember you planting some.
this is great, i really enjoy the main channel, this is a fantastic insight into the conversations/thoughts that go on outisde of those videos
Cougars are amazing! I love them! The wildlife factor is definitely a plus to your cabin life.
I love these talks, so good.
“Do whatever you want to do in life, man”.
LOVE that!
Pro tip LOL: 1) Put on a screen door for fresh air, 2) Put decals on the windows that you don’t mind looking at; intersperse them on the windows. We do this in NH USA to keep birds from flying into the windows & getting hurt or dying. But, true story:
My Mom’s house had a sliding glass door between two rooms. During a family gathering, my niece came running from one room to the other. Oops! The door was closed. Man, she bounced off that door like a basketball & had an egg on her forehead about the size of one too. I felt horrible for her & went to love her up; brought her to her mom, who was one of my sisters. Poor kid.
I know I’m going to h*ll l, bc I’m laughing so hard right now remembering the look on her face, that I can barely type this. Ya, so after that we stenciled & cut out apple (represent love) window decals (you can probably buy them) so that wouldn’t happen to anyone else. OMG though, that was too funny thinking about it later & since.😂
PS Please don’t put up window decals of birds so the birds mistake your windows for a place to try to mate. Ouch.
But please put on a screen door; at least keep the rats out (& other zoo animals. Haha).
BTW, you don’t want to get bats in your attic; they’re great for eating mosquitoes but would be difficult to get out. My great-grandfather used to put a blanket gently over them & release them outdoors. He was a State Biologist after all & they are cute but can carry rabies.
Glad you’re having Porter on. Yay! Another great podcast. The powerhouse cabin wives😉
I love Bella's bark in the intro.
Ladies! Sounds like its time for a screendoor!!!💕
Love all the building, gardening all the steps in-between . The step by step adventure of how to live your life off the grid dream land and home. Loved all the van life adventures as well.
#Porter !!!!
Love gardening stuff. I would watch you guys doing it in the dirt.
I’m growing food in my apartment with the Kratky method. 3rd floor no patio. ❤ Yes gardening info is fun to watch. It is a necessity these days.
We love your gardening videos are fantastic. ❤
#Ba-zonkers! 😂. Absolutely love you Ladies! I love the gardening videos, but in all honesty all of your videos have something to give…you’re so raw, energetic, beautiful, real and of course inspiring…keep on trucking and you just reminded me to get outside in our garden! 💚🌱💚
Yes on gardening. Just spent 3 hours at a plant sale, ornamentals and edibles.
I went Plant Based for 4 years and was never so out of sorts in my life. I had rashes, back pain, arthritic like pain thru my knuckles and knees, I bloated up 40lbs and couldn't sleep. I was tired all the time, had vertigo and sweat profusely. I was a super clean vegan eating only tofu, beans, and quinoa with veg, fruit and loads of water. Didn't eat sweets or chips, no alcohol either. When I went back to eating animal protein everything changed. I lost 40lbs, all my pains ceased, I started sleeping well and all the other yucky things went away. My dietician said my body could not process carbs like other peoples. I now eat gluten free and only meats and green veg. I feel like a million bucks. Plant Based if definitely not for everyone, but good for you all to be able to .
There is never too much garden content! ✨
I have followed you for a long time and have enjoyed your travels and watching you buy the cabin and making it into a home. I just discovered your podcast and am excited to listen to your Q and A. Thanks Jerry
you ladies are some of the best parts of my week. Fantastic as always
I love the gardening videos.
Definitely love seeing the gardening vlogs!!
👆Thank you 👆 for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️
That’s so interesting that the plant lifestyle has helped you. My daughter has chrones , lbs,ibd and vegetables make her symptoms get so much worse. You guys are amazing!
Red peppers the worse
☝️✍️Get in touch with me, I have something to share with you...
#PORTER!!!!!🥰 luv you girls! Great podcast💕
YES to the gardening videos for me!! I am also a newbie who has become obsessed very fast, my house is quickly turning into a literal green house😂
What’s really helped me is when my therapist told me anger isn’t an emotion it’s a reaction. And I’ve been learning how to control both emotions and actions.
Your convos and opinions are truly so down to earth, authentic and accepting of everyone… to just be who you need to be.
You two are wise beyond your years and I love seeing you spread your zest and love for life. Your messages are so on point…especially to young people. And especially in today’s world … where just watching the news can bring you down. Instead, I choose to watch crystal and jaz … you two bring me up. ❤️❤️❤️
When I watch RUclips…..it’s either building or gardening. I have learned so much. I have 2-4X16 and 1-4X12 raised beds and some containers. I still have food in the freezer from last year.
So much fun! (and PORTER!)
Love you gals! love that you started a podcast. My question would be how you got started as RUclipsrs how you got sponsored, how you got noticed. how does a video content creators support your offigrid life. which I love, I love the cabin, the garden, the sheds, the solar, the greenhouse, spa, sauna. just so cool. you go girls!
I only just saw this and am now subscribed. That it is 3 weeks old, you may never see this. However, I feel a bit like Michael Billington. You make me smile and sometimes, literally, laugh out loud. I am hoping to hear that you have not been impacted by the fires.
Jazzzzzz reallllyyy? rolling rolling rolling ON THE RIVER 😂 but srs feel you :) don't we all have that song that we we are singing the lyrics wrong whole our live hahah
Just catching up to your podcasts, love that you started them.
I fully get the taking your dog everywhere with you, my Dog, Murphy is very much with me at all times, he loves going shopping.
Gardening is the best medicine.
I think u guys are genuinel|y happyi don't think people can fake enthusiasm !! Thanks for bringing lots of sunshine to the planet!
Love this week's video pack!
You two are so awesome! Please keep these going, I love the podcast! Now I have to find your RUclips channel!
We have a backyard garden. We built a greenhouse in 2020 during the pandemic. We live in Midwest USA. This year it’s been very hot so it hasn’t produced the amount as in the past but we love it. We talk about constantly. This year we had a wild duck 🦆 mallard come and nest in our flower bed. It was amazing watching and waiting for the ducklings to hatch. She only had one hatch. Within 6-8 hours she took the baby to a pond couple blocks a day. We named him/herWalker and his/her mom Thelma. It was amazing.
My sons ADHD classroom the teacher was awesome. She didn’t have a set schedule. If the kids were bouncing when they got to school she would go outside first. If they were chill then they would do desk time. It was the best grade he was ever in.
There are los of moose in Nova Scotia…they’re on Cape Breton Island 😊
#PORTER!!
