ONE ACRE would be enough for me and my husband! We love country living, a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, bee hives, and animals (4 chickens, 1 sheep, and 1 dog). That's it!
Moved from the city out into the country and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! Rural life allows you to be yourself, to live YOUR life, not the life your neighbors have. People are friendlier and life is just better out of the city.
My boyfriend and I grew up in the country. When we turned 18 we moved to cities for 7 years. We just put an offer on a house in the middle of the woods and we cannot wait! Looks like the offer will be accepted as the sellers just called and offered us an additional 38 acres of mineral rights as long as we maintain the oil wells!
My wife and I live in LA. We are longing to follow in your footsteps and buy some land. Mainly to take care of animals and show our daughter the true beauty of nature.
I enjoyed it. Now I’m thinking about doing this too. And one benefit i thought of is if I build a large workshop I won’t have to pull permits like you do in. The city.
Thank you so much for this video it’s so refreshing to hear someone like minded. I live in Rhode Island and I’ve always lived in the suburbs neighborhoods and now I live in the city I have a home it’s still a neighborhood. I’ve been here for 20 years I’ve raised my son he’s a teenager now and I have two dogs and a cat and like you I love to be outside and watch the animals and I get my happiness from that open space that I don’t have The neighbors are too close and they complain about too much that I feel that I have no freedom to really even enjoy my backyard, if my dog barks etc. so I’ve been looking at houses in a rural area of my state with about the acreage that you have not all usable of course but still space between people where I can breathe and relax on my personal time. I know the amenities are a little further away and there’s different types of systems like well water and no trash pick up things like that. But I’m ready for the change I’m 50 now and I wanna spend the rest of my life in the environment I truly want to be in
I’m happy your video came up. I understand fully about the noise. I live in AZ in a small town, and have recently moved onto my friends 40 acres, in a RV. It’s a learning curve moving from a traditional stick and brick, but I wouldn’t change anything. Leaving behind family and familiarity on the very east coast was a little sad. I say little because I was absolutely finished with the explosive city growth and sky high rent, utilities, etc. I’m not high tech savvy like coding, writing programs, nevertheless , what I do know I find it challenging coming up with an idea to generate an income and where to find these online jobs. Indeed, Monster, etc., or even the remote job websites have been fruitless. I get a lot of junk mail. Any helpful directions? Thank you
I used to live in Belgrade, MT and moved to a Sarasota, Florida for a bit due to my job and man oh man, do I miss living in the country. The people are so much easy going and it's not about money, money, money out there like it is in the city. Anyway, I go back to Montana in May or June - and I am so happy to be back out there. I can just be myself again.
Makes me so happy to think of you and your family out there brother. Also makes me so happy to think of all those people moving back out into rural areas. And man, those stars at night must be AMAZING.
I can’t stand small towns where everybody knows your business better than their own. I would love to have a remote property with no neighbours within a few hours drive to a large city. Just the best of both worlds in my opinion!
Awesome video. I grew up in the countryside and now live very close to the city. I so can't wait to move back with my daughter even just for the morning air.
Hi I would like to see more of your living spaces me and my family are from Las Vegas we are a family of 8 and Are done living in the city Please share war videos with me thank you for your time
Thank you so much for making this video! Exactly what I needed to hear. I’m moving from Salem Massachusetts (satanic Salem) to a farm on Vermont, very anxious but excited
I will never ever buy a house in a neighborhood, I absolutely hate neighbor goods not the lifestyle I want for my kids, I like to be free and want my kids to be free
speak for yourself. As an ex-country person I hate that close-minded echo chamber and only caring about myself mentality, and farming sucked. Truth. Glad to be rid of it and moved on. I’m free of the countryside and snobbish elitist farming neighbors. No regret.
My number one reason is there's no traffic!!!!!!!!! Second I'm not a big people person so I hate being around a lot of ppl plus I've always loved the thought of a small town
Not to put your business out there but what do you do for work? Does your wife work too? This is the issue I'm having and is making me hesitate to make the move.
That is a very good question. I think this is the largest roadblock for most people that want to make the jump. For me, I am a business consultant (mostly dentists). I do this 100% online which gives me the flexibility to stay home. My wife is mostly a full-time homemaker though she is working on starting a gym here locally (her channel is fitlifewithalisha). That said, it was a process to get to this point. When I was trying to transition out of a regular 9-5 job, I started several side-hustles to help bridge the gap. That including everything from building chicken coops to sale and buying used washers and dryers to fix and resell. It was lots of work and sacrifice, but it was worth it to get us in a position where we could move to where we wanted and buy what we wanted. I think the first step in this process for this type of move (and most everything you want in life that seems out of reach) is to clearly identify what it is you want (with extreme specificity) and then acknowledge what it is you are willing to sacrifice to get there. For me, it was trading wasted TV time in the evening and weekends to build chicken coops and fix appliances. It took some time, but we got there. I hope that offers some clarity. Thanks Marcel for asking the question. I think I'll do a follow-up video on this topic.
I wish we can , but cant find anything we can afford, they want 500 k to 1 million dollars, here in dallas fortworth, if anybody know anywhere in this location, affordable let me know thanks
@@MikeGreenOutdoors Indeed, I have many reasons why I left it but its nice that your one of the surprisingly few country people who are gracious and kind enough to deal with and embrace other perspectives and find them equally valid. If only more country people would be as such. I'm frankly tired of the city vs country fighting - its like fighting over what is better - vanilla or chocolate.
@@fredrubble4305 I have Jesus Christ and I don't need nasty hypocrites like you in my life - regardless if you live in the city or country. May God lead you to the truth.
I live in a booming city and I’m bored to the day 😂.. same shit different land. same with dangers, though there are surely less in the country but if you dare watch some @thedisturbingtruth you’ll be convinced otherwise 👀😬 the devil lurks in every corner..
We are finally getting out of the city and into the country TOMORROW!!!!
I envy this freedom. It really feels like we're living like cockroaches in the city. theres no space it's gross
The big reason. The city people are acting crazy .
As a city person, I can confirm. We city folk are indeed, quite crazy.

Unless you're gay, black, muslim, or pretty much that isn't a god loving American. A whole cult lol

Best decision I’ve ever made. Worth fighting for! Best of luck to you.
Interestingly you where right on point four years ago. This applies today even more!
Truth
I've lived in the mountains, swamps big Cities and the Country. I love the Country.
I enjoyed it. Now I’m thinking about doing this too. And one benefit i thought of is if I build a large workshop I won’t have to pull permits like you do in. The city.
I loved the part about raising kids in that environment. It's so true!
We finally got out of the huge city of Mesa AZ! So happy to be in small towns of OR now. Can't wait to get our own farm!
I agree to many out towners moved in it way to packed for a small city it's size.
J Ds You seem butt hurt. Get some butt cream and heal those wounds!
I salute you, sir! Greetings from Bavaria :)

I’m a millennial moving out of the bay to NC to have my own farm and live in a small town. Can’t wait! Great video :)
Check out Justin Rhodes channel. I believe he is in NC. One of the best YT farm channels there is. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video. I grew up in the countryside and now live very close to the city. I so can't wait to move back with my daughter even just for the morning air.
Hi I would like to see more of your living spaces me and my family are from Las Vegas we are a family of 8 and Are done living in the city Please share war videos with me thank you for your time
Thank you for sharing. This is great input.
Glad it was helpful!
Proud of you guys... great channel 👍👍👍
Moved to country 2017, 3 acres still in the city unincorporated infill area, love it!
Thank you so much for making this video! Exactly what I needed to hear.
I’m moving from Salem Massachusetts (satanic Salem) to a farm on Vermont, very anxious but excited
Best of luck. Vermont is beautiful.
God Bless you and your family! May your farm be blessed and produce more fruits!
I'm sick of city life. I'm sick of the crowdedness, pollution, high crime, traffic.
Make the jump. The country life is calling… thanks for watching.
I will never ever buy a house in a neighborhood, I absolutely hate neighbor goods not the lifestyle I want for my kids, I like to be free and want my kids to be free
Word brotha!

Emily Greene Lol liberal cities are full of snobs! Lol
Thank you very much.
Country kids are smarter. The class room is smaller. My kids where there 3 years and was way ahead of the kids in the city . When we moved there.
Angela Stewart No they’re not. Often they’re no different. Maybe you need to travel more outside your town.
That dog was so happy with the alpaca’s I almost tested up 🥲
That dog is the happiest thing on the planet. Haha - thanks for watching.
Thank you so much
My number one reason is there's no traffic!!!!!!!!! Second I'm not a big people person so I hate being around a lot of ppl plus I've always loved the thought of a small town
Yes!!!
i need to leave southern california just not sure yet where to relocate to
Yes you do!
I know the feel, I'm in Irvine. If I'm lucky, I'll be in Colorado in 6 months.
@@graken9222 i like irvine too colorado is nice ive only been to denver and its getting expensive
I would love the privacy of the country, but I live where there is snow six months of the year...
Ah, six months of no mowing or weed control. Sounds delightful :)
I was born a country girl and decided to return to a country living due to strong ties.
What do you do working from home? It's something I've been dying to do. I want to be able to work for myself
Business coach.
My uncle owns a ranch in the desert I would live there if the heat went down and I had internet
starlink will be a viable option soon.
I don't care too much for country living, but the taxes are a killer
Thanks for watching.
That goats not having it haha
Do you or your friend have any videos on the bee hives and making money from them in getting started
We do not. Sorry!
This is my prayer, but we don’t have the money. I want to move out the city.
We worked towards it for 15 years. Keep focused on what you want and it will happen for you.
@@MikeGreenOutdoors unfortunately, I don’t have that long. I’m sure it will work. Thanks for the response.
Live in Ogden and looking to move out to the country too. Great info. Thanks and keep it up.
Some beautiful areas not too far out of Ogden.
I am jealous of you country people
Where in southern Utah do you find agricultural land?
Everywhere, both high and low elevation. We are mostly sheep and alfalfa country around here.
Please tell me how you very your water

Wha5 about garbage? Do yo7 hav3 to go to th3 dumps every week?
Nope. The county picks it up at the end of our road. Granted, we do have to drag our can about 300 yards to get it there. Inconvenient but worth it.
I wish we can , but cant find anything we can afford, they want 500 k to 1 million dollars, here in dallas fortworth, if anybody know anywhere in this location, affordable let me know thanks
It took us 15 years of working and watching before everything came together for us. Be patient and it will happen for you.
Do they have black people out there? Just outta curiosity.
Liing in the city is not living good 4 u
Agreed
*living
