The idea to build a shipping container home was definitely one of the wildest ones we've had and if you've been joining our weekly videos for any amount of time you know that's saying something. Without question, it's a project that is much more difficult than we thought it would be but we're having fun along the way and that's what counts. Join us every Sunday as we continue to create off the grid homestead vlogs, sharing our adventures as we build our own alternative lifestyle of living off the land and building a home out of shipping containers!

How did we get here?
After a year of full time travel living the van life, we had to adapt when the world changed. To keep busy we’ve converted our tiny house on wheels into a fully functioning off grid home that has everything we need. Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We've spent the last year doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we'll need in the future. That led us to needing a place to live while we realized our dream of building a shipping container home. After lots of searching we finally discovered Geodesic Dome's and it was the perfect fit for us while we took our time with the container home.

Thanks again for understanding where we’ve been the last couple of weeks…it’s really hard to condense all our feelings and emotions into a 20 something minute video each week, especially the weeks where we’re feeling overwhelmed and are struggling. If it’s all the same to you guys, maybe some weeks when we’re feeling that way we can switch up the video content and go for an adventure somewhere, maybe hit the road in the RV for a little while or even just make some fries and have red wine together LOL... anyway, I hope you don't mind if we start switching things up every now and then, we miss you too much when we don't post these Sunday videos ❤
it is ok it is your life we are just following along so if u want to switch it up you can.
You do what you need to do! If that means taking us along or not, I'd bet money we will all be here when you get back. I also think some little adventures would be a fun change up, I like vicariously traveling with friends! Squishy hugzzzz!
Do what feels right for you guys!! And I'm glad you boys are back❤
It's Your adventure we are just along for the ride! Some mini vacations would be awesome. I am disabled and can't really travel so you will be helping me travel through you! ❤🙏🏼
Whatever you guys decided to film, hey, we are all along for the ride, we definitely need our tyler and todd fix on Sunday, not the same without you guys ❤❤❤
You know, in life, I'm constantly reminded, "if you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain."🌈🌈
So true!
So true ❤
Thank you. That was what I needed to hear.
YES!! 💕
Dang, that’s a lot of things to process, then do. I am so sorry guys.
I adore you guys….. “I could have been a surgeon…… push or pull?? Todd, you are a delight
It warms my heart to see a video update of your trials, tribulations, and victories. Anytime you have set backs you have overcome them. To see you so rested and smiling is awesome. May your days be bright and your nights be quiet. Best wishes from San Antonio, Texas, USA.
I’m so grateful for both of you. I’m a single mama, I homeschool my daughter AND work from home. It’s crazy how the two of you, through your videos, have become 2 of my favorite people to “spend time with.” Your content is so calming for me. I appreciate you both so very much!! ❤❤
Means so much to us ❤️❤️
You have a flat head, then the Crossy is Philips, and square is square…….
You have really blown the ‘cabin in the woods’ idea way out of the water!!! 🥰🎶❤️🙏🙏🙏
HA! Ain't that the truth?! 😂
Welcome back, Guys. You were missed. I hate that you have been delayed on the home because of others’ ineptitude and hope you are able to recoup those monetary losses. Cheers to you five!❤
Never a dull moment. Hang in there guys…
If Todd and his gadgets, assembling them and wine doesn’t cure what’s wrong in this world nothing will! You two amaze me. After starting with the new challenges you are then tearing up flooring, digging up potatoes and making fries. As always thanks for taking us along (of course you make the rest of us look like slackers but you are forgiven) !
Ground cherries are also called Cape Gooseberries (not the same as the usual green gooseberries) and are a member of the nightshade family so they are related to tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant. They are also closely related tomatillos which also come in those little lantern shaped paper coverings. Just a little FYI in case you didn't already know. Cape Gooseberries are seedy so they are easy to just turn a few under and have them volunteer back in future seasons. With all you guys have been through lately, I am surprised to see that you still have wine left. It is good to have you back, I have missed your adventures. Sometimes hard decisions have to be made and you have to take matters into your own hands that you had hoped (and paid) to have others handle for you. It is all part of taking on such a huge project and you will both be stronger and even more elated when everything is completed. Keep on focusing on the prize, guys. See you next week.
Wow, this is so awesome, Sherry.
I am so glad they're in season. Just made a roasted cherry tomato and ground cherry sauce (with pimento pepper to balance out the sweetness) with gnocchi last night!
I know ground cherry as physalis, have never heard it referred to as ground cherry before
“So I guess we’re not doing the cotton candy machine either then” cracked me right up! Thanks for turning around a bad day! ❤️
Every time “I feel cheap” makes a cameo I still LOL! 😊 I love the balance you guys find between crazy hard work and fun and relaxation! 2am fries and wine = yessss!
Guys I'm 65 live alone in the woods in Georgia with my 2 dogs ,love watching you share your lives ,going thru cancer stuff right now ,God bless you guys!
Hi Tyler, I hope you find comfort each and everyday with the love of your dogs and nature! I pray you healing and a remarkable recovery, you are worth it!!!
I've been following y'all since you were still touring the USA in the RV, and, over the years, my hands-down favorite moments are when y'all set up the camera, have a "little" wine, and work on projects together. Love y'all!
Hey guys, you are the owners of this whole thing, go where you want to go. Should you need time off and away, just drop a note. Believe it or not, there are people who care about you and what happens to you. I enjoy seeing you and your story. Thank you from an old man.
You were greatly missed but at the same time I was hoping you were taking care of your mental and physical health. It is always an honor and a pleasure when you share your life with us but I want you to enjoy doing it, not feel pressured or forced to do it. To see you today so happy, free and relax was so worth the waiting. Many hugs to you both and the fur babies.
This, and SO many other reasons why, is why I don't advocate shipping container homes to be 'cheap alternatives'. They're not. They are absolutely a *style* choice, but never cheap. I'm so glad that you two are keeping your smiles despite the many, many challenges.
You guys are so patient! You keep going like a Duracell batteries! Amazing! If you need to cry, cry! Laugh if you need to laugh! Getting away for a needed break is a good idea too! I enjoy seeing your critters being themselves while you work in your garden! Rolling in the dirt and weeds, kitty meandering along coming to check the action. Overall your love for each other and willingness to carry on helps you to persevere!
Nothing sucks like re-do’s on a home build .... first: step outside, scream at the top of your lungs, kick rocks (every one of them) & then after a long nap .. go for it! You two can overcome anything & always make it work out in the
end. Your beautiful “castle in the forest”will be another gorgeous creation when you are done !! I can hardly wait.
Hello from Wales🏴. Been thinking of you folk since Friday as the storm hit NS. Are you OK?..hope you’re safe. Oy! So much unexpected extra work, and you amazing guys just seem to take it all in your stride😳. Take care. XX
Tyler and Todd, any content is welcomed content...house build, gardening, traveling, RVing... whatever! Hang in there. We're on your journey. ❤ xxx
You know it's Sunday, when Tyler and Todd are on our screens. Having my pizza and going to watch the vlog. Welcome back guys.🤗❤️👍
We're doing the same for supper tonight!!
@tylerandtodd Nice Tyler and Todd enjoy your pizza. So happy you wonderful human beings are back. Sending you love from Vancouver BC, Canada 🇨🇦 🤗 ❤
Hi guys I hope your safe from the storm you just went through.💕💕💕💕
Fry cutting was priceless 😂. Glad it worked out, with the vent system. Keep contractor's in line with quality assurance for their work. Have a great week.😊
The thing that strikes anyone immediately about you two incredible guys is that that even when adversity rears its ugly head, you two face it squarely and can even laugh!😅😂😅😂❤
You two are hilarious. I’m so sorry for how much trouble you’ve been having. It’s always such a pleasure to share a Sunday afternoon interlude with you. Keep smiling and loving your your so sweet family. Nana and Boo 🐶 in Ottawa
One step back, two steps forward. You’ll get there eventually. Very happy to hear you are both in a good place! I am hoping TS Lee didn’t set you back! Thanks again for taking us along! ❤️
I watch you guys every week. I love how you manage to get all the stuff done and still have something left for humour. The fries cutter episode completely cracked me up. Thank you so much.
Hi you all. An other name for ground cherrys ist; Physalis. The fruits of the Cape gooseberry wrapped in the lanterns are edible. They grow as large as a cocktail tomato, taste sweet and sour and have a very high vitamin C content. For this reason, they used to be eaten mainly by seafarers - to protect against scurvy. Today, physalis fruits are used in fruit salads or chutneys and are used to decorate desserts. The fruits can also be eaten dried. Enjoy and lots of hugs. Karin
Glad you were able to harvest some potatoes. It is so discouraging to have a crop destroyed by pests or disease. It really makes you appreciate farmers! This year our lemon crop was devastated by black birds who pecked away and ate the peel! A flock of them ruined about 50 lemons in one day!🤬We didn’t know birds would eat lemons! We built a cage around the tree and they managed to get inside a couple of times. Finally we bought cloth bags to put around the lemons so we did get about 15. Next year we’ll be ready!
Every time you have a big old hiccough your plan B always turns out better (I’m thinking the stairs especially here, a million times better than it would have been)! It’s going to be totally amazing! Take care, it’s not a race, it’s an adventure! ❤ from the uk!
Says every gardener, who ever gardened……”…..not as much as for the effort we put in.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
FYI, potatoes can be stored with dirt on them to harden the peels.
The fact that you guys took the time to fix the mistakes may seem like a headache at first but will ensure a beautiful and long-lasting home for years to come....can't wait for this, I can almost see your vision and needless to say, it will be a MASTERPIECE. Great content... thnxs.😊
Ground cherries will reseed themselves. You can make jelly or a pie with them. Plant a good size patch of them next year and you won't be disappointed. Take a few berries that you can use for reseeding.
You got this and be safe during the hurricane!
You guys know what its all about. When things get tough laugh a lot and make commercial grade fries with the few potatoes that made it through the blight.
Hi guys,nice to hear you had a brain break,we all need that at times..oh i have a commercial grade too! Or so ive been told lol..❤
I have always appreciated the down moments with you guys doing the everyday things and the nightly wine and dinner times loving on the animals, cutting your hair times etc.
Missed you guys. But, life happens and I am grateful you're kind enough to share it with us. I'm sure whatever works for both of you, will work for your subscribers. Hope you're both safe from the hurricane.
Pat the fries dry with a towel; coat lightly with cooking oil or spray; season to taste; place fries in pan in a SINGLE layer (not heaped up lol); roast or air fry
Those berries you were showing are called gooseberries in South Africa. Love your content 💙
I like this episode today,your ground cherries are called cape gooseberries here in new Zealand and are ready when the case is clear and u can see the orange/ yellow fruit,you can make a preserve out of them and also dip in chocolate and let harden,apparently its a nice sweet and sour taste (an aquired taste) here they self-seed and can grow like weeds
We call them physalis over here in the UK, which is their scientific name I think (Physalis peruviana).
@tyler and todd it was great seeing you and the furkids back and overcoming these challenges with your typical humour. Glad to have you back!
Personally I’ve never considered the taste of cape gooseberries to be particularly an “acquired taste”. Theyre sweet and tangy like most berries, you just need to make sure you let the fruit ripen fully ie: wait till the husk has turned transparent before picking. We used to make a cape gooseberry crumble, which was yummy.
You guys are so stinkin' cute together! Love the cooking banter! I'm sorry you had to tear up your floor.
Little tip from a former chip stand worker. Blanch your french fries before cooking them! Tastes tons better and takes less time to cook!
"I'm pretty good at wearing headlamps." -- Priceless!
The Jewish New Year's Festival just came to an end (2 days). What a great way to start the new your with you guys.
Every time I see the logo at the beginning of your videos, I think how cool it is bc it includes the kids 🐕🐈⬛🐕❤. Love it!
LOVE volunteers in the garden!
Literally fell on my dogs on the bed over the Fry Cutter Family History !!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
So happy to see both of you today. ❤️
Proof what incredible guys you are always going forward even when setbacks punch you in the nose the dream is there still going strong I was thinking the chipper wouldn't be finished until next years crop was picked great job love you guys x
You poor guys! You guys have an awesome dream! Most times you have to climb Everest to reach them! That’s the way it feels anyway! But the feeling when you reach it will be amazing! You will be able to enjoy it for the rest of your lives!
Welcome back to our old Tyler and Todd. This was a great video since you weren't so stressed out, and finally have a good game plan.
Life happens, glad your getting the house stuff straightened out, hey next time get a bigger baking sheet for the fries , you guys are the best
I laughed while you were setting up, cutting and making the fries. It was just what I was needing. Thanks guys!!
Was honestly so much fun
You do what you need to do! If that means taking us along or not, I'd bet money we will all be here when you get back. Love and hugs!!
You simply kill me. The look on your faces when those first fries popped out was priceless. Have a great week!
So happy that you are all more upbeat this week. That's what I admire about you two. Always willing and ready to bounce back. Appreciate the fact that you can speak so freely about crying. I gonna start allowing myself to start doing that. Too often, we internalize things and don't allow our feelings to break free!! Keep on enjoying life, my bros. ✌️ ❤️
So GREAT to see you guys again!!!!
OMG! The potato slicer is worth it’s weight in potatoes! All your hard work, and blood, sweat and tears, for the most delicious, fresh-french-fries!!! Yippie!
You guys know how you are part of the community. We all watch you. Stay the course.
"I just don't feel anymore" I felt that when I was building my house...lol Hang in there guys!
I seriously hope you do not have to pay for the mistakes of your contractor. We just had a new roof put onto our house & the little shop/shed. They came back to check on the only issue with a gutter & we just ripped it off & called it good for now. It's always something but best to catch them before a major issue like leaks happens. People think of leaks & buckets but not so much damage to wiring & hidden structures. It will be fixed & you can relax a bit. Things always work out. Maybe take a little road trip break!
You owe us nothing. You share when you want!
We are here for the journey, living vicariously through you.
As a person watching this for the last couple of years, I have enjoyed watching the honesty. That off grid is NOT all sunshine and rainbows, and come with its own challenges.
Keep truckin! Your vision is fantastic! And an inspiration!
lloved digging up my 20 potatoes
Missed you guys ❤ Glad to see you back and hats off to you both for facing all of those challenges with such positivity. Onwards and upwards! PS love Todd’s sense of humour. His reaction when Tyler mentioned going down under in Australia 😂😂😂
Loved this episode...even though it has been very rough the past few weeks. True life. You will get past it, keep smiling and keep posting. Can't wait to see your home when it's done. :)
Really dry off those potato slices before cooking for crispy results. Also you can parboiled for quick cooking.
Remember to put sliced potatoes directly into water bath to wash off the starch and keep them from oxidizing and turning brown!
OMG. You guys make me laugh so much. DONT EVER CHANGE. Sending love from Burlington Ontario. Ps. I would have blanched the cut potatoes before running cold water over them. Tossing them in spices and olive oil then top of oven to crisp
It drives me crazy all that planing and expense and someone installing does a subpar job ! I’ve been there many times with construction projects but still makes my blood boil!
Hahah ohhh us too!
Not entirely sure how to pin point...I never ever miss your videos. You two are so down to Earth. Innovative. Hard working. And such a sweet couple. Thank you so much for my Sunday Funday. Mwah
Appreciate you more than you know, Anne. xoxo
You two are the most patient individuals!!!!! With all of the challenges you have faced with your build, I WOULD HAVE LOST MY MIND! Thank you for being an example of patience and keeping your cool! Well done!!!!!
Just think of the lifetime of memories youll have once the house is finished. Glad you guys took the time you needed. Sure, it's a step back with the vents, but it'll be a huge leap forward once it's done. Sending you both love and encouragement from Miami. XOXO Chris and Eduardo
Oh guys what a headache having to rip the floor up and remove the siding on the outside 😩, love that gadget, there’s nothing better than homemade fries made from your own potatoes you grew yourselves, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Ugh, sounds like you guys went through a lot of stress.
I hope you're resolving the issue with the siding installers so that you don't have to pay for the replacement material because that was NOT your fault, either.
Let's hope the issue with the tower is quickly resolved, too. We don't want the stairs shifting away from the house.
Ventilation is good. These guys sound like they know what they're doing so, yay. It's ironic that you made the house so air-tight that you have to install ventilation so you can have fresh air inside.
Oh, no, the great potato famine of 2023!
I just tried a thing with some baby potatoes: wash well, put in a shallow baking pan whole, add sea salt & olive oil and bake. 5 minutes before they're done add shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt. Then garnish with sour cream (and chives if you like them). SOOO good.
We call ground cherries, physalis but folk call them syphilis
My parents friends have one of those at the cabin. They mounted it to a wall in the shed and put a bucket underneath it to catch the fries as they fall. Hope you are doing ok through Tropical Storm Lee :)
If you have gone to the expense of that chipper, you have to get a deep fat fryer. They will taste much better and cook quicker😊 love you two ❤
The weeds & esp the clover make good mulch/compost to leave all winter then chop up & turn under in the spring. Helps fortify the soil. Your garden doesn't have to be naked & tidy in the off season...🙂🥔🍅🫑 If the potatoes are far enough along, they won't spoil w/o the tops. Glad to see you're still getting some potatoes!
11:28 “We’ve been terrible plant daddies…” 🤣🤣🤣
What you in Canada call ground cherries, we in South Africa call Gooseberries. My grandmother had a gooseberry bush or tree in her garden and we used to pluck off those delightful berries.
Was so happy to get to watch your video today. Thank you so much for sharing. As far as you switching it up ? What ever you kids put out there I am sure it will be fun to watch so I will have a front row seat each week you put one out! Maybe not with french fries though, ,probably popcorn . LOL!!! Love you both and your fur babies. Til next time take care.
Hi guys, sorry about the setbacks on the build, but it is better to catch and fix early in the process. You will get through it. Good to see your smiling faces today. ❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE your dogs!! Squirrel’s ok, too!
You two are too funny and I love how you play off of each other ! The whole french fry machine action OMG ! I don't know how you stay so motivated with all the different issues you have run into. I really each the both of you.
Yea!! A new vlog, so excited!! Thanks for continuing to share!!😘😘
Hi Guys,
I'm SO, SO sorry that you've encountered all of this difficulty! It sounds to me like MASSIVE amounts of malpractice on the part of multiple contractors! You should not have to pay for all of the enormous amount of un-do & re-do! It's just wrong! Will you be able to make those who caused the problems PAY TO CORRECT all of this?? With Great Empathy, LTB, age 78
You guys are a riot. Like hanging out with old friends with a little wine. I have been called daddy, daddy bear, big daddy, buddy daddy, big red daddy, tv daddy, kitchen daddy, daddy nerd, and best daddy but plant daddy… that is a new one I want to earn! 😂
Honestly, the bar is really low. Just be gay and have plants = plant daddy LOL
I’m here for whatever you want to film I just enjoy your vibe and miss you on a Sunday when your not around and it really sucks when you and Jaz and Crystal don’t upload at the same time. Your both my regular Sunday watches ❤❤❤
Guys, I can't believe how badly some of those contractors screwed you over. It really makes me angry for you. I hope there will be some sort of renumeration happening, because of that shoddy work. I hope sunny days are in your future and that Lee is done harassing you!
Every time I see Lily running around outside I get worried some owl or hawk is going to snatch her up.
Thank you for being on Max and Occy's channel. I discovered you there. And Thank you for helping the Vanwives with their external cladding. See you next week. 😀
Hey Carolyn, welcome to our channel!! Looking forward to sharing all the fun times we had with the whole crew!!
That 'I feel cheap' clip never gets old. THE TOWER IS TOO HEAVY?!? That's the legal mess, right? Duct work NOW? You're breakin' my heart. But having each other seems to cancel it all out.
Good to see those "fresh faces"..One worries about two handsome men out in the wild....course your have Lily to protect you,and the boys... amazing" lungs" for the container,sounds like something that will last a lifetime.Its really coming together, almost brings tears...it can be done !
Cool weather, possibly another hurricane 🌀 on the way.Dafety and good health to you both !
STOP Todd in his loud voice had me laughing. I know you guys didn't expect to have some re-do work on your house performed by your previously contractors. Keep focused the end product which is your brand new home. Fall is here and winter around the corner do you expect your new home to be completed? Have a great week you two!
Y’all need to visit an
In-N-Out Burger …
.. they use that fries cutter but they mount it on the wall, the cut fries drop into a wash tub.
I wanted to add, every time you two are side by side I just smile. You both warm my heart and are beautiful people inside and out I believe that. I wish you both nothing but the best in your lives. Peace and blessings Todd&Tyler. 🙏❤️🥰🤩🤓
Dear Tyler and Todd, I am always amazed at how much work the two are doing. The whole house air exchanger is also really cool, too. Please stay safe with the hurricane on its way. I shouldn't worry, but I do. Sending lots of love to Squirrel, the boys and to both of you!
Love,
Mike
That siding job is unbelievable, I hate it when people cut corners and do shoddy work. So glad you posted I was worried about you.
It's great to see you both smiling
A little wine and humor between hiccups works while you guys work through to your dream. While we miss a regular Sunday fix we will be patiently waiting. Love and hugs
