I may be in the minority here, but I actually prefer seeing more of the "intimate" and "mundane" rather than socializing or activity based content. Your lives are unique and far from boring. So even if something seems normal or boring to you, it's interesting to us. Or, at least it is to me 🤷♀️
👏👏👏👍 so true for me as well, i love living vicariously thru them whatever they are doing...i go to a different place then HERE for a minute or 2❤ Happy 2024
I agree! 😊😊
I agree - I really enjoy just seeing how ppl live, and what they eat as well!!
I agree, though I enjoy the other also, but I learn so much in these talks. How things work, etc. Things I do without thinking that are dependent on a grid and a social structure and power grid.
I am planning to buy a book Barron… as previously stated.
Excited for the audio reading :). Wtg!! Elsa & Barron
A beautiful worn leather couch would go great with the green chairs. And goes well with pets, too.
Exactly! Caramel/camel leather. Goergeous.
Yes, any neutral would look good with those chairs, beige, brown, grey, cream, black. Elsa - look how warm your outfit looks with the green.
Normal to Nomad to Homestead ❤️
I LOVE the digital copy of Normal to Nomad I got a couple days ago. Awesome advice, pictures and reminiscences. Thanks kids.(I’m 75) My husband and I are living vicariously through your adventures as we sip our coffee and watch you at breakfast time.
I like the green chairs too. I don't know much, but it's very obvious that you both worked very hard building your house, and maintaining your household.
Have loved watching you guys for years and your house build is amazing! Love your pups, your family and friends, all your adventures! Cried with you through your great loss and love watching your progression in life! Thank you so much! You’re a very bright spot in my days!❤️❤️❤️
NEW POINT OF VIEW: Start to say to yourself, "I can believe it."
Absolutely love this
I am SO excited for this! And I'm so sorry for all you went through in the book process. And I'm so excited you are making an audio version I will happily buy/donate for that!
Happy New Year, guys. Been watching for years, love everything you guys do. When I was 13, my Grammy (affectionately known) as 85 was turning to 86 and my parents had dropped me off with her so they could go party down. That night she told me every new year eve, she would reflect on the year, think of an exemplary human with a selfless soul, and exclaim to yourself they are your human of the year, and to strive to be like them in the future. So this year, I am choosing your neighbor James. The guy is so cool, and simply a great human. If we all had a neighbor like him, the world would be a whole lot cooler. I hope you all have an awesome 2024! ❤
Elsa’s married to an author! (said in a sing songs voice,) LOL. So appreciate your choices, authenticity, and industriousness to co-create the life you’ve dreamed together. Also, amazed and impressed with the community you’re creating. Sending lots of heartfelt energy your way for a loving and soul nourishing year ahead. ❤
Same, to all of that. Elsa and Barron, I didn't know you guys were married. So congratulations on that AND your super amazing homestead, and sweet Pilot and the book. So many cheers!
Leather sofa 🛋 will go perfectly with your green chairs 💺 👌
You need to say the printers name! CALL HIM OUT! So that others do not have to go through what you have been going through.
I had to reach out to get my pre-order and Barron (and Elsa's mama) got me the book super quick and I appreciate it so much. It's so hard to get a book out the door, I hope you can find a better printer situation soon! As someone who also has a spouse who publishes books that situation is a nightmare. :( Thank goodness the print quality was quite good!
Of course you built your own house! No need to defend from the nay-sayers! I’ve watched your journey since the Scamp days. You two have great timing. Bought your land at a good time, and you’re ahead of the curve on living off grid. The country has changed a lot and you two are right where many of us would love to be. 👍🏼✨
What a life you have made for yourselves! You are such an inspiration no matter what you do…
Thanks for sharing with us 🙏🏼
You guys have done a great job and you will probably work on your house for many years as you live in it. You are doing a non conventional house so don't let people comments bother you.
Did you do more interviews with the awesome builder that worked on your house? He had so much knowledge to give and seemed like a great person to learn from
I think you need to”dry” January. Dry from work. Y’all need a break.💞🕊🥰 Don’t use James as a measuring stick.
My husband bought me the book for Christmas. I'm super excited to read it! Love the green chairs...love the house! 😊
Your youtube videos are so much a documentary of your lives and, since you’re learning as you go, I’m also learning as you go. I love it! The idea of using an RV water pump from your cistern is actually pretty brilliant and so much less expensive. I’d want to see the outside water line under ground. Is there any way you could cover the line where it lies, instead of digging a trench (impossible due to solid rock) to bury it? Would that be too terribly damaging to ecosystem. Will you have a washer and dryer in your home? The washer could go through a lot of water. SUGGESTION: Consider the recycling of water pre-heating, so that that water that comes through the lines before the hot water flows can go back into your cistern. I have one on my small travel trailer and it really does save quite a bit of water.
I bought the book & I've had it for awhile. But due some vision issues(old age) I haven't read it yet. So I think it would be really cool to have the author actually read it to me! And with the two of you it would be like chatting with some good friends.
Love the green chairs… love the behind the scenes chat on non traditional positive world outlook spending time to build a home scuba-suited to y’all ! Enjoy your hot showers!!!🎉
I'm loving the more raw-opinionated takes on what you're going through right now. So happy you're back! :)
So glad to hear this feedback, thank you!
I just got my copy of the book! So excited to read along with you guys and getting the behind the scenes info! Love the green chairs? U need a deep pile shag rug to go with them!
Love the chairs. But.... I like your log/coffee table even more!!!! Great video!
When I saw your chairs I thought WOW- they have gone all fancy on us!! They are beautiful!!🤗💖
your book is great, you guys are great!!
Fun to see you two !! Blessed with twice in one week,What a great way to rest a bit.
You two are peas and carrots, for sure. There aren’t many couples that could live together in a Scamp as long as you did without getting loopy. I’m so impressed. That’s love, man. Love the house, and look forward to seeing more finishing vids. Love you both.
You two have done a great job building your house and putting it together. You should be very proud of yourselves. You need to give yourselves a big pat on the back. So Happy New Year. Hope it is a blessed one.
It didn’t just all happen, you manifested it❤️
I still think the name is perfect! you guys are living far from a normal life. I am so enjoying watching your journey. And chairs ROCK!! 16:02
Yes! We are in way up northern California but it makes it near impossible to be off grid. This is where we are supposed to be but man. ITS HARD. 22:27 so glad your podcast is back and I love that you are reading the book next. I’m gonna follow aloud with my physical book 51:50
when you're that good (james) 20% can equal 100% of other ppl.....let the haters hate....what else do the haters have to do?....love your channel.......
I love your cups n your chairs . Do u guys dont worry about what others think its your home which is absolutely gorgeous. I love U Guys n Your Home Its U ....
❤❤❤❤
I’ve always thought of “WE” as plural. And your “WE” is very clearly your community. Keep lovin those haters, friends. 🌀❤
I don't think you went "back to normal" at all. Drilled your own well, built a passive solar house and living off grid are all next-level advancements to living in harmony with the earth.
So excited for this!!!
I love your green chairs. Green of every shade is my favorite.
Pathological Lairs are addicted to this behavior. They can't help but lie. When you confirm you are dealing with this type you need to IMMEDIATELY drop them and sever all ties.
Thanks so much for producing this great audiobook series. I’ve followed you two forever through all your Scamp adventures and “living small” in Colorado winters! I’m so happy to see you both kicking back and enjoying your accomplishments on your home building. We just moved cross country to relocate to western Nevada near Tahoe in the Sierra. We lived in a home we built(with a Mennonite contractor & his family of carpenters) for 30 years & were ready to downsize and live in an area we love because of great weather (300 + days of sunshine but still 4 seasons). When we worked full time, we dreamed of someday relocating to a new geographic location that would give us better quality of life with more sunny days to enjoy the outdoors. You both must be so happy to have more room to enjoy your surroundings in Colorado & cooking indoors! Happy New Year! Wishing you both good health & many happy years together!
You guys are so cool and you’re very inspiring. I’m proud of watching your journey. It is definitely not a normal life that you’re living. Those of us who have really lived outside of the norm understand that and I think most of your viewers do. Those chairs are rockin cool and I can’t wait to see the progress. Much love from Illinois.🎉❤
My husband is constantly building and he has multiple projects lol I love it and I hate it tbh. I get some really awesome stuff he builds but he literally is working between his 9-5 and project from before sun up to past sun down every day and I rarely get time with him unless I try working with him which doesn't work because Idk what I'm doing and he gets irritated when I basically am just getting in the way. Reminds me of James.
I preordered and after a long wait I finally received it. Thanks you guys for all your hard work. Been a long time fan, since literally the beginning back when Elsa was painting her body!!! 😂
Love you guys and it’s nice to know you guys are in Colorado. Sending love from Cortez. Hope to get a meet up soon
I think you should do a cooking video in your new kitchen. I love how calming and soothing they are. With outdoor videos dubbed in. Chores or walks or meditation. I loved the coffee videos. Supplements and what you're doing now. Health and alternative medicine videos. 😊
Your house was built by the two of you with family, friends and love.❤️❤️❤️. It’s beautiful!!💚💚💚. Blessings to you all!!💚
Thank you so much for all the work you put into Elsa Rhae and Barron!
I very much appreciate you sharing these 'visits' on youtube....as i haven't joined any of the other ways of online communication. There is So much negativity on some of them, I'd rather stay ignorant than read or hear it, which is not a good way to be either.
Am closing in on 80 (How the hell did I get here!!) and I just need positive in my life. I loved being in our RVs for nearly 40 years while my husband was alive and i so wanted to fulltime it but life got in the way.
I haven't followed you for a long time but I so appreciate what I have learned about and from you two and you help keep me on a positive path so thank you. I look forward to more podcasts (on youtube) as you settle into your intriguing home and to listening to your book.
Happy New Year from Saskatchewan!!!
Need Bullet Journal vid please please please please please please please please please please
Still Nomad❤ great to see you guy's ❤
HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉🎉🎉
I think you guys are doing it the smartest way! You're living in it as you build it, you get to see how it feels before you finish it. You can change it as it goes to fit your needs.
Hey guys! I messaged your Patreon, but in case you check here first, I wanted to recommend a printer that I work for in Central Iowa - Print Express! ❤
Hey!! Seeing this now, we’ve been a touch busy but will get back to you on Patron asap! Thank you SOOO much for any and all wisdom you have in this department!
Everything you guys talked about here is FASCINATING. Ppl should be aware of 15 minute cities and how much control our oligarchs want to have over us. It’s disgusting.
I am here to leave a thumbs up and can’t wait to tune in later to listen ❤😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Welcome back podcast! I got my book. I can't wait to follow along. I love all of the pictures!
I don't see what you two are doing as"normal", it's better to have a bigger dwelling and the way Elsa described it as one stove heating the house and solar windows pulling in the sun heat, is far from normal.
Congrats to Barrons new book, looking forward to reading it! I'm sorry you had a shade experience with the publishing company. Most likely he was behind on printing and made up stories to cover his_azz.
Happy New year to you both, wishing you a happy, healthy 2024.
Try building in California. Sooooo many rules/regulations and different with each municipality.
I received my book and it was only a little late. And in great shape I love the book thank you guys! Congratulations on getting the house. Almost done! Lisa.
Nice coffee table!
Thanks for sharing this journey with me. God Bless Ya'll Mucho Love from your friend in Michigan Tam ❤️ ♥️ 💕
So what doesn’t utube allow? I’m curious. Great vid. Thanks so much
I didn’t know you had a podcast & I’m super excited about that! I’m sure someone has already mentioned- to put your mics above your mouth. Perhaps angled down by your ear. To pick up your voice but not your breathing. Y’all are fantastic!!
Currently listening to the 12/23 podcast while hooking up my water pump to fill jerry cans, using the instant water heater we have running off of solar in our camper trailer shower. That's our water set up (and has been for 2 years, highly recommend) while we finish building our off grid home in Cotopaxi, CO (started the build Aug of 23 and will have similar water setup).
Your debate of normal is so funny to be because all that you talk about is my normal day to day and it's so great to have it shared through your alls content. You help me to be able to express this way of life better as it's just so awesome and special to me that I'm frequently left in awe and without words. Thank you forever for all that you share and for being the wonderful souls that you are. Even though I don't know you all first hand (hope that changes someday), you're very special to me and help bring me even more joy while I do my property activities. Congratulations on all your hard work and learning that has gone into your beautiful home! So happy for you all and love to see it!
Happy New Year!!! You guys are doing great.
Just wanted to add some advice about the book shelves above the kitchen. Grease. You will be surprised at the amount of “Cooking Grease” will gather above your stove and cooking area. I have 4 foot cabinets, on top I add decorative items and stuff. I have to take the stuff down once a year to give them a good cleaning. I am always shocked at the amount of grease and gunk that accumulates. I wanted to warn you about this unspoken fact. If you add books up there, your books will be ruined in a short period of time. Anyways…. I just was feeling guilty about not mentioning this to you. I love books too. I would be crushed if I ruined my books by placing them in an awful location. Please think about it or cover them up with a plastic sheet to prevent the damage of the cooking grease mixed with dust.
Congratulations on your new home!!
Re the book: That’s a ridiculous learning curve
You could get chair covers?
I did order my book early and I did get it late. However, it was in good condition. I really enjoyed it.❤
Don’t worry about matching everything. Just get and use what you like and it will naturally blend in . With your perception and organic nature, it will naturally be beautiful. Example the mossy green chairs are functional but blend naturally with the weathered gray wood log table
I loved your book Barron!! Anyone thinking of trying the nomadic life should read it!❤
An interesting
" podcast"! Good to know about how your book is going..been..
wondering..? But didn't
want to invade your business..as it were??
The chairs suit your house well..n..maybe
look out your windows , n figure out your accommodation color
Pallet , from there..
The green is an anchor color..n earth tones to set the stage from there..taken from your backyard inspiration!!??
Enjoyed the visit..thanks for sharing this time n talents with
us!
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
You handle it so well but I find it frustrating how judgmental people are when they don’t even know your whole story. It’s not just about y’all tho - I see that in comments about news stories also. It’s fun seeing your progression and how much you’re enjoying things so many people take for granted.
Thank you so much for making the audio book free! I stopped consuming any Amazon products after working as a delivery driver for a few months and seeing how they truly treat people like cogs in their machine, and how bad their business methods were for their environment even in my tiny corner of what I was viewing. Will definitely be tuning in to listen.
Oh…..go with a brown couch. Everything in your home is a warm tone. You will want to remain in that tone or things will start not looking quite right or you may try to “fix” the room but never quite making the room work but it’s because of the mixing of warm and cool tones. Pick a tone and choose your decor based upon that tone. A grey color is a cool tone. Brown is warm and will go with the lovely chairs. I have been there and did not learn about colors and tones until later. I would have saved myself lots of headaches had I had been taught about some basic principles of decoration and making the home feel like a space that greets you. You want the home to be where you retreat from the world and you find peace. Building the house yourself is a great way to make it feel cozy.
We’ve got an outdoor Ecotemp tankless propane water heater that has a thermostat built in so when it gets below freezing it warms itself to stop freezing. It works awesome and I’d highly recommend
This is cool. I really want to get land to sustain our families. Idk about the cold but my kids (grown) really want to go to Colorado or Utah. It is pretty out there. 😊
Somehow we have to get this ignorant algorithm going for them again!! If anyone deserves it they absolutely 💯 do!!!
I like Barron's idea of expiring laws that have to prove effectiveness or desired performance to stay in place. What was the initial goal of enacting it and have those goals made any progress? Otherwise they are costing the public money as he said.
Point your microphone to the corner of your mouth. Then it shouldn't pick up as much of your breathing. Or do what you want we can deal with you breathing as a human.
Re: Phasing laws out . . . some laws (like the right to vote for women) people spent years fighting for. Gay marriage is another one. It would be devastating to have those laws phase out after a certain period of time and for people to have to fight all over again for those rights.
Your wearing a hat & a jacket in the house in the morning??? Of course your hot...
The tankless water heater is good choice for a place like yours. Normally its not recommended for bigger houses bc its limited on multiple outlets and people tend overwhelm the unit and then its not reaching to temp.
I have a physical copy, and I love it. 🎉congradulations 🎉
I wonder if they're putting money away for retirement.
I love my book. Thank you so much for putting it together.
Maybe we can all start leaving more comments than usual 😊
Multiple thrift store buddies is a blessing !
A physical book is so much nicer when taking on a trip.
You guys will hardly hear a tankless water heater running. I have one, and it's great! ✌
Is cooking indoors on your propane stove need some sort of venting?
I read the book! it's reaaaaaaaally good!
Awesome you both !! AM happy to see yous in your lovely house !
Love your build. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video. You two have sacrificed for a long time with this goal in mind. You absolutely win. Conservation of water is so important where we live. A blessing, not a given. So many take water for granted. You should be so proud of yourselves. Congrats on the book. Would like to get the digital copy. Will proceed with that.
Thank you very much for this kind comment 🤍
LOVE the green chairs
So happy for you guys, I love your content . S.C.
Hello, I realize you do not ship your book outside the US and I was wondering if you could tell me where I could purchase a couple of copies. These are for Canadian Veterans who have an amazing relationship with the outdoors. This includes bear beware education, Veterans healing groups, veteran outdoor sports for support plus many more veins of comradery support. In a nutshell, when I travel down south, is there a place or location in Washington state that I would be able to purchase your books Barron? I will look at other options such as ship happens just over border. Thank you for your conversations, you remind me of our children both in their forties. Be well.✌️
Shoot me an email. Barronlink at gmail and we’ll figure something out. 👍🏼
Love the green chairs.
Some people bake a cake with box mix other do so by scratch with lots of options. So nice that creative opportunities are out there for those who choose to make houses in a creative manner also with lots of choices and styles. As for codes and laws for building let us not forget that often those are put in place for the safety of people and those surrounding having learned from fires, floods, etc. Also in addition insurance companies need to know what it is they are insuring because with no codes/rules the exposure for RISK is higher. I too would like less "big brother" but in reality property values are maintained by having common rules/codes. When you guys get done with your building can you imagine a "single wide mobile" the next lot over from you or a blend of car salvage lot and dwelling? Obviously to maintain value in use and for resale rules maintain your investment. If next to you your view was blocked, which is amazing, by someone building something ugly or multiple stories preventing the view which you so enjoy? Again rules/codes and laws are put into place to not only insure safety but the enjoyment o four living experience.
Kudos to you both for being creative people I too like that flexibility of choice but guardrails of life help all of us.
We have exactly a single wide home in the lot next to us. Seems like people’s wellbeing and ability to thrive should supersede importance of property values. And if you want your house to be insured, sure the insurance company can vet it however they deem necessary. We shouldn’t be held to the same standard just to facilitate insurance companies. And my safety should be my responsibility. If I build something stupid and hurt myself, that’s on me.
Very much believe we can solve these problems without daddy governments legislation arbitrating our choices and limiting our ability.
Where are you. What state?
I LOVE THE GREEN CHAIRS AS 🥰
Brown goes with the green.
