WE LEFT THE CITY TO LIVE OFF GRID (1 Year TIMELAPSE)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2022
- It's been 1 year since we left the city to live off grid. Having moved to the wilderness of Tennessee with ZERO experience to develop our raw land into our forever Homestead. On our road to becoming Self Sufficient we learned from day 1 how our lives were about to change for the better but not without the hardships that come with building a homestead from scratch. Using Solar for our electric and rainwater harvesting for all of our water needs has made our daily routine living in the woods a challenge but rewarding. We attempted to grow our own food with our first ever organic garden, built multiple rainwater collection systems and learned to live without the amenities we were so used to while living in Los Angeles. Moving our lives towards a minimalist lifestyle has taught both Jes and I how to appreciate everything we work for and the journey of learning will lead us all the way to building our own cob cottage.
Although our Bushcraft skills are at a minimum we keep pushing forward and with every failure we learn a better way of how to homestead. Living off the land is not something we ever thought was possible in today's society but with determination to escape the rat race, we inch our way to a happier, healthier existence not only in harmony with our own bodies but in oneness with nature all around us.
Follow our off grid vlog Little House Off The Griddy and lend us your experience or learn from what we do right or wrong. We hope you enjoy our first year off grid timelapse as well as our off grid journey. We sure had a blast and hope you Stay tuned for more from Sean & Jes

@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY oops lol thanks again
Just found your channel and very inspired... I'm in east TN also, and saving for land to start my adventure... and can't wait! Did you go through a realtor? And,what about building codes?
@Tammy Stoddard Hi Tammy welcome to the channel 😀.. We chose Scott County for that reason of building codes ( they are very off grid friendly here) and as for land we went through Landstruck.com
They have been amazing to work with and helped us get the land of our dreams.. looking forward to having you on this journey with us..
Sean & Jes
Hey by the way need anything give me a shout. Can find different stuff sometimes thru other people.
dude your homie who came out next to the waterfall said it best "its like the more you challenge your fears the greater your experiences are."
100% truth
I am so impressed at how much hard work you guys are constantly investing.
Thank you so much we ate really just figuring everything out as we go and do our best.. Appreciate the kind words ❤️
I know I'm a year late but this is awesome!
Thank you 😊
Im old all i can do now is dream what yall are doing. Thank you so much
Well we are so happy to have you on this journey with us 😊 welcome to our channel
@@OffGridGrowing I live in Cleveland Tennessee for a while then move back to Texas where I was born and raised.
What part of Texas

Good for y'all...best wishes to you both in living a life many of us only dream about!! I'm 64, and not sure I'll ever get to enjoy trying the offgrid life out.
Thank you ❤️ we may be new to this lifestyle and inexperianced but we are giving it our all
Go for it I'm 64 and love it rise and hunt for about 90 percent of our food go to town once a month total solar power and rain water collection it was hard first but love it now
Aww … you have such a beautiful chemistry between you two!
Thanks yea we are in this fir the long haul.. thank you so much for watching and hope we see you on next Sundays premiere 😊
I watch many off grid videos. I have to say that this one is the best I have seen. The skill sets that the two of you bring sets you apart from others. You have an uncanny ability to think outside the box and come up with plan B when plan A falls through! 😊Well done and keep up the great work 👍!
Thank you so much 🥰 we are doing our best at living this lifestyle.. Still a ways to go
You two seem to have so much fun living everyday! ❤
We try our best 😁❤️
This video makes me feel so good. 🥰
Its been a great year babe!!!
That's so amazing what yall are doing. Me and the wife have bought our camper and spent alot on our solar power. We have it set up to live completely off grid. We are in our semi truck about 27 days a month and hopefully soon we can find property and do what yall are doing
Thanks 🥰 sending positive vibes your way in hopes you find the perfect piece of land for your dream.. Welcome to our channel
Great time lapse! The polar plunge is just as funny a 2nd time.
Hahaha! I relive it everytime we watch it. Thanks for watching guys.
Where is that waterfall?
I have a neighbor and family friend who also built out of cob. He made his house in a circular design maybe 25 feet across. When he had a son, he made a simple room out of plywood in like 2 weeks. If yoh want some inspo., ask 😀
How did the cob build go?
SO very inspiring! Peace and Love and gratitude for sharing this!
Peace and blessings, and thank you for watching.
Thanks for sharing your homestead journey with us.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Oh good for you! We did something similar, sort of, we left the rat-race and moved into our camp (building it up as we go) to retire. You guys are living the dream, looking forward to catching more videos. ❤️
Congratulations and be blessed

Hey thanks and super nice to meet you. That's awesome that you getting started on this path. We love it and haven't looked back. Thank you so much for watching and looking forward to hearing more about your journey 😊
How do you get around purchasing land without first having to put in a septic? I have been searching for a small piece of land for over a year now and I have been told I have to put a septic in first and that would put me over budget. I am wanting to travel and I'm in the process of looking for a motorhome or travel trailer and wanted to also have a homebase.
I sold my house and have enough for a rig and some land but I'm being told that I would need to put in septic and also some have told me I would need to put in water... I don't understand this. I would appreciate any information that anyone has. Thanks
@tinadoughty925 so it all depends on where you are and if the land is unrestricted land. Check out Landstruck.com as that's who we got our land from. Tell them we sent you and they will take care of you 😊 great company to work with
@@OffGridGrowing

Thank you so much 🥰 it definitely was the best decision we could have ever made
I just found this channel. And I have typed in Off Grid living. Very often. Until I typed in Off Grid living in TN. It never showed up. Key words get followers.
Welcome to the channel my friend 😁.. Ranking fir those keywords can be difficult but glad you found us
Can’t help but smile through this video. This is such a beautiful thing to see. I wish you both the best of luck and hope to create an experience like this someday soon! You guys are living the good life!!!
Thank you so much 🥰 welcome to our channel... If you every have any questions we are an open book because honestly we had no idea what we were doing. We just jumped in with both feet..
My 1st time watching. I thought the way you approached the project was great. You included just the right balance of ups and downs. The way you included friends who visited also added to the very encouraging story you told. Congratulations on your success!
Hey thanks Tom we really appreciate that
Beautiful video
Thank you so much 😁 we worked really hard on it. Hard to choose the footage to use
You're right Sean this did make me smile. Love to see you guys at peace in nature and doing so well with the minimal and most important things God gave us. Bless you both. Much love always - Jesse

Hey how are ya and thank you soul much.
I often asked Richard what he was doing on that mountain in Tennessee. I knew his son lived there but I did not expect this. He told me OffGrid and Growing . I had no idea of what that meant until our friend from NJ sent me your link . Wow, am hooked now. So well done.
A very educational job well done.
Thank you so much ❤️ I'm sure lots of people were like the mountains on TN why are you there lol

👋 from space coast Florida. God bless you guys. Exactly what I'm waiting to be able to do. Keep up the good fight. 🙏💪❤️
Hi Mel welcome to our channel ❤️.. We hope your wait is soon to end 😊
@@OffGridGrowing thanks
I just watched the video for the first time.... It just goes to show, can do anything if you have lots of $$$$.
Lots of money?????? We started this with zero savings and our income is under $1000 a month total.. it takes time energy and being creative with what you have. We hope to show people that you don't have to have lots of money to do this, just have the will to keep pushing forward until things fall into place
You guys ROCK!!!
🥰
This is One of The Most Beautiful Videos I have ever Watched! It moves My Heart to see a Man and a Woman, with Dogged Determination and Spirit, Create a Life of Simpler Life, that has its Challenges and Struggles. But, with a High-Level of Creativity, Hard-Work and Patience, Build a Living Situation that meets Their Basic Needs. Life is What We Make it. This Couple made it how We are Suppose to Live it; Surrounded by Beauty and Simple!
Thank you for this kind and beautiful comment ❤️.. We do our best to keep pushing forward towards our goal.. It may take us some time but we are definitely committed.. Welcome to our channel 🥰
First time watching the channel, love it guys,new subscriber
Hey Skeeter welcome to the channel 😀. Thank you so much for the compliment.
Look at all of that free carbon ( Brown Leaves ) for your compost bin. Although I would shred them somehow first. Wow cool video this one , The encyclopedia of your native plants that are on your property is a wonderful idea. thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 😁
SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!
Thank you Kelly ❤😊
You’re welcome! You’ve come so damn far in a year. I’m so glad that you were able to get your dream land to be able to call home. ❤😊
Let's hope this next year is even a bigger year.
Lol. I loved the ""no way, no way!!""" ...at the creek. Too funny. It totally would have been my reaction too! Except I would have tripped & feel in anyway hahaha
Lol Jes almost did 🤣
Good job .
Wish I would of video my start of my offgrid journey. 6 years offgrid ,

Cool video! I had to subscribe! ✌️❤️
Thank you 🥰 welcome to the channel
If you've got a moving body of water on the property, that's free 24/7 electricity. A mini hydro system with a few LiFePo4 batteries and an inverter would be highly beneficial and allow for some conveniences.
Yea absolutely... we have talked about doing that in the future
Our creek flows most of the year
The best thing I used to restore the black kettle look on a cold cast iron wood burning stove was non stick spray. The excess has to be wipe off. With the first fire, the windows and door should be opened or cracked for the first 25 minutes for any smell to go way. It’s comparable to seasoning a cast iron skillet. It makes the stove look new again. It needs to be done annually, after the last fire of the season. Unlike many products used to blacken the stove may have harmful chemicals.
Ok that's good to know 🙂 thank you
I’m so happy to see this. I was watching some of them but then I must have missed out on so many. Did your name change. Regardless you always make me smile and you both are amazing.
Hey Thanks 😊 yea we did change the name we just felt off grid & growing described us better
Great video guys, I think once you start building your channel will grow more. Hope so anyway. 👍🙂
I hope so too! We will just keep plugging away :)
