As a father to 6 daughters and soon to be off grid as well, the video was beautiful, the systems you all have implemented are awesome and the homestead is beautiful. However, the real success that you all have created was the last few minutes of your video where you were praising God. You both have given your daughters what my wife and I are trying to give our daughters that is more important than off grid life, sustainable living or success and that’s a strong relationship with Jesus, faith in the valley of the shadow of death and the love for family that is gone in our present world. Been a very longtime viewer and am happy that this is the only channel on RUclips I let my kids watch without worry of what’s coming on. Kudos to you all for not being afraid to show your faith to the giants of the world.
I grew up in a large family in Wisconsin. We had wood heat and cooked on a wood stove, only cold running water. We had gardens and animals and an outhouse. We had a river to fish and swim and a forest to hunt. We didn't have money so I thought we were poor. I don't know why I ever thought getting a job and living in town would be better, it's not. This video brought back a lot of memories, especially the end with the music and singing. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas to you!!
I'm 53 and I saw some stuff in my life already , but you guys squeeze water from my eyes . You're having a positive impact on people's lives. God bless you.
You prepare for the winter all spring, summer, and fall. The more you prepare ,the more time you can enjoy the company of your loved ones through the cold winter. I know you and Rose 🌹 have passed on so much knowledge and experience to your wonderful daughters. Im absolutely overjoyed that you shared this one with us. I'm almost 70 and you brought back memories of my childhood. We had a farm with pigs,cows,sheep, dogs, chickens and gardens.We also hunted wild pigs,red dear,fish eels, and birds. Mum made butter, bread,cheese, and so many other things to fill our tummies. I really loved that you all rejoiced in the lord and Jesus with song. What a way to warm your ♥ ❤❤❤❤❤❤ heats at the end of a winters day. God bless you all. Paul from New Zealand.
Seeing all of you singing together made me cry. You are the richest man in the world. Love you all. Next year, my family and I are moving back to Texas, and hopefully, we will be able to go to your camp out. It's been more than 6 years watching all of you living this amazing lifestyle. Hopefully, one day I'll do the same. Xoxo
It is quite impressive how the father nurtures his daughters with rugged hands and a gentle heart, guiding them through nature’s vast embrace. Beside him, his wife stands as the steady flame, weaving warmth into every corner of their home, her strength the soil from which their love grows. Together, they cultivate not just food, but a life rooted in unity, resilience, and grace. Their shared labor, a testament to devotion, blossoms in the wilderness like wildflowers after the rain. What a beautiful bond, to raise a family where nature is both the provider and the teacher. Their love is the harvest that sustains them all. This is once a life time content one can enjoy. please keeping making more. Love from Pakistan.
Thank you for putting the song in at the end praising our Lord together as a family. That was beautiful. Merry Christmas to you all and may He continue to bless you.
Awesome talent,s you should throw more singing in your videos. Without a Rose you would only have thorns.The ladies are all wonderful beautiful flowers in their own right but you are so blessed to have a Rose.
Seriously in all my years of watching homesteading videos this video tops them all . I thourally enjoyed every second of watching your beautiful family 😊
You and Rose have created a beautiful life for yourselves and your family. This is one of the most heartwarming videos you have made and in a world that forgets the meaning of Christmas, you just gave everyone a perfect example to follow. Despite the trials and sometimes hardships of off grid living, you just showed us the reward that is yours for all the hard work. God's Peace to you all and my warmest wishes for a Blessed Christmas.
OK Rose, teach classes on making cheese, butter, canning, etc. The girls can teach us how to make knives, journal books, etc. I will sign up!!! Please!!!
Merry Christmas to you all! You are living a dream, while some are dreaming of living! Life off leash or life off grid is the hardest and simultaneously the most rewarding kind of living!
Love this video because it let's us see you! Just being real! I think I have been following you since you started your channel. Watching the girls become women. Deb and I absolutely love what amazing parents you two are. Your girls are people to be proud of. They skipped the me generation. Good job as parents. Absolutely love you guys!
Thank you , we have been watching you learn and grow as a family for many years. LOVE the song at the end :) Such a perfect song and Praise the Lord amen :D
Just watched your latest video!!! Thanks for the song! So Special! Merry Christmas Burkinshaw Family! I pray God's sweetest blessings on your entire family!
Beautiful. I love that it's like hibernation but with food. Lol. The food looks delicious. I love that you have the root cellar and greenhouse now , I can gear the pure joy when you talk about those improvements. Thank you for sharing lovelies ❤❤
Wow! What a wonderful, almost dreamlike family video. A bit educational, a bit motivational and a whole lot love. Thanks for making my Christmas day even more special. And a very nice ending showing your family's gratitude for the Father. Good stuff!
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family! You are a true hero.....Your presentation's brilliant ! Thank you for teaching a new generation...Blessings!
Wow! It takes a lot to get me emotional. But, when all of you started singing together, I got teary and have to walk away so that my wife doesn't see me. Being an only child and not having my biological parents, loosing my mom when I was only two days old and my dad was too young to take care of me. I always think and daydream how my life would have been like if my parents were still around. Seeing your family doing everything together makes me happy and I wish I had the same experience when I was young. I have my own little family and I'm doing my best to do the things that I was unable to do with my parents. You and Rose did a fantastic job with your kids. Oh and the view is not bad as well. Totally beautiful!
Yes I lived and love off gird living in Alaska in the 1970s in Chitna 210 miles or so from Valdez hand built cabins. Hallelujah y’all sing so beautiful and what makes it even more it’s all about Jesus The Christ whom I’ve by His grace and mercy served and preached, taught, instructed by His Words about O. T. & New T. Coming, Life, Death, hallelujah Resurrection and Ascension and Returning soon and very soon. Hallelujah & Amen love y’all ps watched all and followed y’all, begging till & still subscribed.
Ya know, Jeff; wasn't sure before this if you were Christian or not, but that song in the end took away any doubt. Thanks for that and thanks for another vid. Hope y'all have a great Christmas, cheers
Funny thing is, when Rose was bringing you breakfast at 10 I was thinking if I had me a Rose like you. Well anybody could enjoy the off grid life and then near the end of the video you reveal that very thought....LoL...Anyway your math 40k+40k=1M farm should have been 40k+40k+??=1M farm. Brother may God Richly Bless You and Your Family more than He already has. By the way I have my own Rose on our homestead and I wouldn't be able to get done what I do without her. You have a wonderful Family. Have a Merry Christmas. Also for those still wondering the mystery part of the equation is "HARD WORK".....
Absolutely awesome. Thank you. We are Canadians in the UK coming home to begin our off-grid adventure. You and your family are an inspiration. Love that you keep our Father the center.
Merry Christmas Jeff,Rose,Sarah, Abigail, Julia Christian and Kenzie 🎄🌟🎁🎅 JO JO IN VT 💞. Our Temps are fluctuating so much we are Snowless 😢. You all have used your Bodies,minds and souls to make a beautiful Home🎉. JO JO IN VT 💞🤶
Really enjoyed the song at the end. Your life looks like a lot of work at times, but the rewards seem to far outweigh the work. It's been awesome watching the girls grow and learn so many things, they never cease to amaze me. Thanks for all that you do.
Хорошо, что есть ИИ,который переводит на русский и мы понимаем о чём речь идёт. В России многие любят ваши видео, вы очень душевные люди, мы всегда рады когда у вас получается выполнить новый проект 👍👍👍!!!
What a Father, what a Savior, what a friend! Loved the family singing along in praise.
Me too! It was very heartwarming to see and hear the family singing and worshiping together.
The way you ended this video is a Christmas gift to all your viewers.
That song at the end. Yes! We didn’t know you loved Jesus. So… we’re pretty happy now. Also, love the off-grid life!

Merry Christmas!
Same here, in Fort Atkinson.. Small world
Reminds me of growing up in a tiny village in the western Ukraine in the 1980s. Now living in US the last 27years
The family singing while doing the dishes was a beautiful gift to us! Thank you!!!! Merry Christmas and God bless us all.
@@russellwatters5891Really? Ft Atkinson? Beloit!
I'm 53 and I saw some stuff in my life already , but you guys squeeze water from my eyes . You're having a positive impact on people's lives. God bless you.

Outro was brilliant! Watching the snow pile up on the log as the singing went on brought tears to my eyes.
Yes. If i had a Rose. You really need a Rose. 😊
You're good people.
Thank you all for bringing us in to your home.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Loved the singing of “God really loves us” at the end, beautifully done!

This one left speechless, the overwhelming joy it brought to my heart is indescribable. He does love us!
Amen!
Let’s get Matt’s off-road recovery to invite gridlessness to the off-road games !
This is the first video that I've seen in which you're open about your beliefs, I suspected before but the closing song was very warming. Thank you.
The singing was my favorite part.
There is more talent and skill and true life productivity in your family than in most suburban neighborhoods.
It was beautiful to hear the family singing. Merry Christmas! Jesus Loves You. God Bless You! 🇧🇷💛💚🇨🇦🤍♥️
With all your hard work in summers past… it’s seems the only thing left to do is pass the bacon and praise The Lord!!! So good… thanks for this one.
I am speechless. That's the best one one yet ,and IV watched a lot of your videos.
Excellent RUclips at its best, no time wasted watching this. 🌎
...may the Lord bless you and yours!!!
We sure appreciated your closing in this video! Without Jesus, we have nothing! May God continue to bless you and your family!
A beautiful way to close out the video with a beautiful song. Merry Christmas and Gods blessings on you for the coming year.
Thanks for the worship music to finish the video off!
My Family from Canada... Merry Christmas... from Geraldine Alabama 😎.....I wish I could, but I know my limits.. God be with you guys..
I just wanna greet you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...
What an amazing family living in paradise....
man o man you guys never cease to amaze me....great singing as a familly
You got me crying with happiness for you all. The singing put me right teary eyed ✌🙏❤
You truly have something special.
Enjoy every moment.
God Bless .And merry Christmas!
Amen to your last song. God does indeed really love us what a Savior and friend. Merry Christmas.
Wow! It takes a lot to get me emotional. But, when all of you started singing together, I got teary and have to walk away so that my wife doesn't see me. Being an only child and not having my biological parents, loosing my mom when I was only two days old and my dad was too young to take care of me. I always think and daydream how my life would have been like if my parents were still around. Seeing your family doing everything together makes me happy and I wish I had the same experience when I was young. I have my own little family and I'm doing my best to do the things that I was unable to do with my parents. You and Rose did a fantastic job with your kids. Oh and the view is not bad as well. Totally beautiful!
Wow, thanks for sharing. You’re making the world a better place with your little family!
Boy, you guys hit a home run with that last song! What a wonderful purposeful slower life you live❤
God is so good. All the time. His promises are yes and amen.
Blessings from Lake Country BC
He really does love us !
Thank you
Merry Christmas everyone!
Most beautiful video ever from you guys!!
Praise the Lord!! Loved the song guys it was beautiful!!! Please do more worship songs!! God bless x

Your channel is among the best on RUclips. Entertaining and a great family. It boggles my mind that you don’t have 2-3 million subscribers.
I can't wait to see the Wood Gasifier!
The final minutes are beautiful. Perfect. Merry Christmas.
The singing moved me to tears. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Best ending yet! Thank you. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!
Really enjoyed this video especially the family singing at the end.
By far one of your top 3 videos
Ya know, Jeff; wasn't sure before this if you were Christian or not, but that song in the end took away any doubt. Thanks for that and thanks for another vid.
Hope y'all have a great Christmas, cheers
I was wondering where you stood spiritually these days. So very happy to watch this video and rejoice. God bless you and your family. From our family.
I was wondering the same thing. My heart swelled with joy hearing them sing and worship together as a family.
What a beautiful journey. That song at the end was glorious, brought me to tears to know you are faithful ❤
