The listings for doug&stacy videos for the last couple weeks have disappeared from their video list. does anyone know what is going on ?? today is (aug12,2023)
I'm a 65 yr old woman and not a mechanic. 5 years ago I Had an old pickup that the heater core went out on. I needed that pickup to get to and from to work as a housekeeper at a small hotel. It was a bitter winter. I watched DIY videos. I bought a replacement heater core. It was only 27 degrees out that winter morning. I plugged my electric blanket into an extension cord and draped on seat-to keep me from freezing while I leaned over-upside down for a few hours at a time and between breaks to replace heater core-without pulling entire dash. It worked great. I had several tell how awesome that was, even a few mechanics said they could never had done that. If you have a brain and can learn, you are Limitless
Reminds me of the time I told the veterinarian I feed my pets a raw diet. "What??!! You're not a trained nutritionist!" Well, I managed to feed myself all these years, I reckon I can figure out how to feed a dog and cat 😂
I’m an old lady, but I did all of my own solar setup. I did the research and purchased and installed my system. I did pray “Lord, please don’t let me kill myself” before I made my connections. Lol. Electricity scares me, but I hate paying for something that I can do myself. It isn’t rocket science. I don’t need a gatekeeper for life. These people should mind their own business
Nancy smith-Baker: I’ll make a video showing my system. Mine is small, but it works. I have 400 watts hooked up and 500 more ready to add. I’ll try to get the video up before Fridaynight
I am not a licensed electrician. I have taught myself with YT, internet readings, & consulting with a retired electrician. I have wired numerous houses owned by me or my family. Our City inspectors have both complemented me on the quality of my work. You can learn to do (almost) anything.
I’m a libertarian and 🤷🏼♀️ I just believe in my God given rights that are supposed to be protected by the constitution and the other parties clearly don’t and are super corrupt. We Al have inherent worth and dignity and are free and can be responsible for ourselves. That’s all. 🇺🇸
I interpret this video not as "I'll follow the codes and do as good a job as a professional" but as "I know better than the codes, you can't tell me what to do...". I believe your way is the correct way. Follow the codes because the codes are the result of bloody deaths. Not "I can use my common sense and it'll be OK".
I’m glad to see that it was not you and Doug who were arguing. This country is dividing its people. And honestly, I think the preppers and off the grid communities are the last standpoint. Be strong people, it’s going to be rough for a while.
It’s one thing to try and push a message out. it’s another to openly deceive people for clicks. He knew people would click on this just because of the thumbnail and the title. I mean read the comments. Hardly anyone even watched the video before commenting something along the lines of “you and Doug into it?”
I commented on his video not to bash, but to point out a flaw in his advertisement of a gold and silver group. However, I stand 100% behind what You've commented on here that we need to remain in union with one another. The enemies greatest tool is to separate and divide groups even within their own groups or cultures to wield power over them unawares. Pointing out a different point of view is not and should not be taken as bashing rather enlightening us to another perspective that we can thus learn from together. Whether one takes that knowledge as useful or not is completely up to them. That's the beauty of individualism that these crony gatekeepers as he calls them fittingly hate and want their collectivism to be the ruling statutes in our lives. Be well.
I don't know if I mentioned on this channel before but as a kid, my dad built a solar heater for our house out of black painted beer cans and river rock. Cooked us out of the house-2 story-in the winter to the point that some days we had to crack open windows to regulate the heat, Had a small windmill on top of his Ham radio tower that ran our lights and fridge. He would remove the windmill in late fall and replace it with a giant wooden star that was covered in Christmas lights. Everyone in town loved it. These things can be done cheaply. This was back in the 70's.
@@debwallace100 My dad is in his late 80's now and doesn't remember much about it. It was a 1 story triangle box. we cut beer cans in 1/2 and he painted them black, then nailed them on a board covered with tar (?) paper I think. Behind this board was a 4-5 inch air space from bottom to top. then it was filled with river rock . Can't remember what held the rock in......Chicken wire? At the top of the air space was 4-5 mini fans that blew the heated air out. Sorry, thats the best of my recollection.
We have learned to do so many things on our own! We lived in our house about a year and the well pump went out, we didn't have the money to pay someone to pull it, we looked it up on RUclips and did it ourselves! We wanted a deck out back, we now have the biggest deck I've ever seen complete with an aboveground pool we got for free and put up ourselves, we've knocked down walls, installed tile and new toilets, we've built chicken coops ... All with zero experience, we took the time to research and learn how to do things and we did it!
Wow - me and my folks grew up in an old house with knob and tube electrical wiring (since replaced) drinking raw milk, unpasteurized apple juice, and eating honey straight from the tree 🤔 Surprised my people thrived and survived on that old farm for over 200 years😂
Well said, Zach. There always seem to be people around--especially online--who will tell you everything you *can't* do. Generally, they are not doing anything themselves, and they want to tell you why you can't do it either. I avoid those people, especially when they work for the gub'ment.
We had a regulation 'runaround' with County code officials (damn I hate that word). We were building an addition to our home. Several aspects of our build were cited and we didn't pass inspection. Unfortunately for them, the officials were using an outdated code book..my husband was a construction superintendent then and he challenged their findings. He even had a licensed Architect (friend) sign off on the building plans and work completed. It was fun to see that those officials had to withdraw their paperwork against us. The world is full of Karens....never forget 2020. We're still in lockdown, but the barriers are invisible.
Awesome meeting you Zach and your boys were perfect gentlemen, a rarity nowadays. I really enjoyed your presentations you inspired my wife and I. Sincerely, your amputee friend.
Wow! A testament to the parents n grandparents' dedication and, of course, to the boys (Caleb's n Joshua's) own decision making. Jamie was one dedicated wife n Mom to those boys. I'll be honored to meet her one day in glory💕
You are right, I wired a generator into my house electrical panel back in 2009. I am not an electrician but I can read. If something went wrong, I knew how to fix it. We lost power for over a week and it was there to keep our fridge on. Felt really good!
When our river house went under in 2017 we had to completely gut it. To hire someone to rewire, re plumb, and remodel would have been outrageously expensive and out of reach for us. Spend hours and hours on RUclips. Wired the whole house myself, replumbed the whole house myself, and remodeled the inside ourselves. Tens of thousands of dollars saved. Plus we learned so much. Point is if you live in an area where you won’t go to jail to do so, DO IT. You can do it.
Amen brother!! Thank you for continuing to encourage me to get out there & do thing myself!! I even planted my very first garden this year!! I also started reading 📖 my Bible daily too!! Shalom & blessings 🙏🏼🤍🙏🏼
My husband is a master electrician. He was responsible for basically memorizing that NEC book when it came out every year or so. It's a law in the state we were in, that a current copy be on hand. That book cost over $200. Most of the code is something to make someone money. It's hard to explain, and yes, there's safety discussed, but many of the rules and regulations have something to do with making one of their friends money.
Great conference with great people. Thank you for putting in time and effort to be there. Its not easy to leave the homestead. Much appreciated! May Yah bless you and yours. 🙏🏻
You are so right. Since I was a kid, I followed behind my dad who was not certified, but because of his job could have been an electrician. Together we rewired his house and "passed" with flying colors. Later, my husband and I moved into a home and there was an electrical cover, placed on by a professional. I pulled it and found live wires...no covers, no tape...a fire waiting to happen.
I'm sure that if people watched more videos from Will Prowse on RUclips they would be more confident to tackle more solar projects themselves. He's a fountain of Knowledge.
As an actual Electrical Inspector, I agree, for the most part. Homeowners can learn to install their own electric adequately. It is difficult for a layperson to navigate the code, but there are plenty people online willing to help. Unfortunately, some of the best locations for good advice are set up as a pro-to-pro discussion forum. Electric is nothing to take lightly, and there are things in the code that I believe address very unlikely safety hazards (but ones that exist) that do more to help manufacturers make money, than keep people safe. Just make sure you don't just listen to any yahoo on the web.
I grew up on a dairy farm in upstate NY. We had a tractor powered generator as a backup for milking the cows and cooling milk when the grid was down. We had a 3 way switch that allowed for the generator to power the farm without back feeding the grid. The same system could b used with solar panels and batteries to power a homestead. Also that would allow a homestead to generate power to the grid and be paid by the power company as another source of income. The power company would also install a back feed blocking switch to keep your panels from feeding the grid if it went down. If the grid went down you can just switch to your batteries and still have power without feeding the grid.
Haha, I follow Doug&Stacy too and just seen their video, at the boat when he’s lost his hat 🤭 Anyhow, it was fun watching the video you’ve shared at Patreon of you and the boys at noble wares and the house. Thanks for sharing that, your knowledge, and continuing to empower us to research, learn, experiment, and do (design and build) things too! I know one can do things we’ve never imagine we could until …we’ve tried and did it! Wish I was at the conference too!
Zack, How does anyone who homesteads travel ? I asked this to Doug & Stacy couple of years ago, and I never got a reply. My wife and I grow some food and have a few animals and can't leave our home for more than a day. We have never found anyone reliable enough to feed our animals.
I have heard them say, Zach, Doug & Stacy, also the Mac's, that neighbors friends, their short list of family and friends take care of general chores.. that's why they talk about "community" getting to know people in your general area that do & live the same way you do! Grace & Peace to you! ✌️🤓💜
In 2021 i learned how to Can watching RUclips. This year I’m on a freeze drying kick 😆😆 RUclips is a great resource to learn new skills! Bought the freeze dryer because we have more milk from our cow than we can reasonably drink! HalleluYah
Raw milk is magically delicious and healthy too! Thank you, Zachary, for sharing these truths and debunking the fallacy that we need to be micromanaged.
We are building our off grid home right now. We are working on our electric and waiting on our solar power system, which should arrive in a couple of weeks. This is our second solar project on our homestead. A year ago we did our barn and guest house. Solar on the homestead is very viable, you just have to not be addicted to all the conveniences of our society .
Getting my tickets early for next year...2nd year i missed it!!! Hannibal is my hometown...love and miss the river...been anxious for your report to come up and it was this...wow!! Glad you and the boys had a great time...see you at Marshfeild!!!
My husband and FIL are not electricians, but they can wire a house... Husband taught himself and built a solar system for our rv that worked perfectly. If you are smart and careful, you can figure everything out. "Codes" here in the US are crazy overboard, just to overregulate us and keep us from being self sufficient.
3:40 Spot on!!!!! I once explained to a girl that I have far more nutritional knowledge than a 4 year nutritionist due to my 10 years of Automobile University (listening to cds in the car) and she just looked at me like a deer in the headlights, lol. I have no degree. I don’t need one!
Whole milk is awesome .... I couldn't agree more with all you said in this video. After watching your latest video on beef, I remembered fodder growing systems. Growing fodder biscuits is the answer to your ability to expand your herds and bird flocks. By adding other seeds to mostly grass you can tailor the nutrition of these fodder biscuits to your animals needs. Imagine you need more calcium, just bake and crush eggshells and add to the fodder biscuits after a few days of growing. I've heard of vitamins (crushed tablets or liquids being added and absorbed into these biscuits.... genius feedibg method!!!
I was scared I was going to have to choose between you and Doug for a second. 😂 You're totally right-know how it works and learn how to fix it yourself.
This is one of the reasons my husband won’t hire anyone to do any work on or around our house. 1. They will never do as good of a job, in today’s “moral” society, and 2. For the exact reason you said “ if you do it yourself, you can find the problem to fix it”. My husband is the “go to” guy to fix everyone else’s stuff, because he has always done it himself. It’s a great opportunity to learn and be more self sufficient. Also a great tool to have for bartering.
I love Liberty Daily! I found it after the Drudge Report went in the toilet. It's way better. That store looks so cool! I'm going to tell my friend in MO about it. I bet her grandson would love it.
My easy fix for all my canning problems was to STOP CANNING! Now, I make dry and smoked jerky DAILY, then vacuum seal it in Mason jars. I have approximately 4 year's worth of shelf-stable dried beef to date. I now use my All American Pressure Canner to make distilled water from captured rain and have approximately 2,300 gallons stored.
It took us 3 months after moving to our land to attempt setting up our solar, because we were concerned about doing it right. It can be done but it's intimidating.
Zach, I've been Messianic 30 years. My wife and I were led to the wilderness. Building our farm now. We want 48v system at our house. We could use some advice.
They wanted to implement codes to line the commissioners pockets. I was in the middle of my log cabin build and we fought it and rallied the town to recall the commissioners. 2 of 3. No codes were implemented. Work on the local level to change beuracrat power. We are grandfathered in and made it just under the wire.
Zach, the guy who got angry with you, was just silly. Of all the things to get upset over...oy! Doug n Stacey. I started watching them again. I really appreciated his candor recounting the events during his childhood when a pervert attempted to abuse him 😢
Zach, as one of those licensed electricians. Couldnt agree more with your sentiment on the NEC. If a person foes the research, understands yhe INTENT of the code and aome fairly basic electrical theory anyone can build a system that is totally safe.
I sat through both of your classes this past weekend and thought they were thorough and enjoyed them immensely, I dabble a bit in electrical work, and I didn’t have a problem with anything you said, thanks again
They are always going to be here… some people are just angry to be angry. I was watching someone’s live stream that were telling people that liquid dairy is bad for you and you shouldn’t drink it, which is pretty broad. There’s always a safe way to do things. Like my RDC (navy version of a drill sergeant) would say, if you’re gonna do something stupid, be smart about it.
Knowledge is power. For those of us who have mechanical aptitude and common sense to research the projects we want to complete, we represent a threat to the established gatekeepers in perceived lost revenue. Regardless of whether the project includes electrical, plumbing, or other licensed trades, there will probably always be people who want to tell others to hire someone rather than do it themselves.
It seems like I have a memory of Cody Wranglerstar once talking about how everytime he did a project around his property some busybody would turn him in to the local building inspector. There's a jackass in every person's circle of influence! I appreciate what you do Zach! God bless. P.S. When are you going to put out more Torah videos on your other channel?
I’ve had quote, “professionals” do plumbing for me to the tune of $5,000 and they made several mistakes, they were packed up ready to pull out of my driveway and I went to check my water and only had cold. They “forgot to hook up the hot? Really? Another time I paid $300.00 for a plumber to be at my house less than 15 mins and changed out a cartridge in my shower.
Speaking of canning lids… I’ve had some problems with Ball brand lately… several lids out of a box I just opened had dinged edges! 😢 (meanwhile my Chinese lids are holding their own. Go figure)

I know one can do things we’ve never imagine we could until …we’ve tried and did it!
Wish I was at the conference too!
Hannibal!!!! My BFF lives there. We love that town!
Thanks for taking time to share, educate and encourage people. ❤
Zack, How does anyone who homesteads travel ? I asked this to Doug & Stacy couple of years ago, and I never got a reply. My wife and I grow some food and have a few animals and can't leave our home for more than a day. We have never found anyone reliable enough to feed our animals.
I have heard them say, Zach, Doug & Stacy, also the Mac's, that neighbors friends, their short list of family and friends take care of general chores.. that's why they talk about "community" getting to know people in your general area that do & live the same way you do!
Grace & Peace to you! ✌️🤓💜
You form community.
@@christianshivers3713like 1000 times 😂 stay vigilant
You can build your own feeders that work like a hopper system.
Gotta make good friends with your neighbors.
Thank you great video can't wait to see you at the end of the month in Missouri at Ozark homesteading conference
In 2021 i learned how to Can watching RUclips. This year I’m on a freeze drying kick 😆😆 RUclips is a great resource to learn new skills! Bought the freeze dryer because we have more milk from our cow than we can reasonably drink! HalleluYah
Wow, I was just in Hannibal Missouri with my wife. Very cool town
so glad we meet you Zach. lots of information.
Raw milk is magically delicious and healthy too! Thank you, Zachary, for sharing these truths and debunking the fallacy that we need to be micromanaged.
That's so cool you were at Doug's and Stacy's. Really like your son's shirt. We miss you over there brother.
We are building our off grid home right now. We are working on our electric and waiting on our solar power system, which should arrive in a couple of weeks. This is our second solar project on our homestead. A year ago we did our barn and guest house. Solar on the homestead is very viable, you just have to not be addicted to all the conveniences of our society .
Thank you
Yeah, I heard it. If we didn't want to do things for ourselves we probably wouldn't be at a homesteading conference. Great to meet you, thanks a lot.
Getting my tickets early for next year...2nd year i missed it!!! Hannibal is my hometown...love and miss the river...been anxious for your report to come up and it was this...wow!! Glad you and the boys had a great time...see you at Marshfeild!!!
as someone who deals with the NEC daily i have violated it A LOT. Most of the code makers are execs from the manufactures.
And complicit for making homes unaffordable
and they are "afraid" to drink fresh milk! lol.
Noooo, does not apply to private property.
I literally just wrote that in a very long winded way! My husband is a master electrician, the NEC codes bug the heck out of him!
@@ericanorton71 there is a lot of good in the book but some is just dumb.
“Freedom or independence without complete self-reliance is merely an illusion…and a
dangerous one at that, eventually with dire consequences.”
i haven't watched in a while. the son in yellow ./white stripes got so big. growing fast.
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you, Zach. You always make me laugh.
Raw milk is the best!
My husband and FIL are not electricians, but they can wire a house...
Husband taught himself and built a solar system for our rv that worked perfectly. If you are smart and careful, you can figure everything out. "Codes" here in the US are crazy overboard, just to overregulate us and keep us from being self sufficient.
I’m sure this gentleman brought this up while giving his presentation later. Oh, he wasn’t asked to give a presentation? No surprise there.
Amen!
3:40 Spot on!!!!! I once explained to a girl that I have far more nutritional knowledge than a 4 year nutritionist due to my 10 years of Automobile University (listening to cds in the car) and she just looked at me like a deer in the headlights, lol. I have no degree. I don’t need one!
Whole milk is awesome .... I couldn't agree more with all you said in this video.
After watching your latest video on beef, I remembered fodder growing systems. Growing fodder biscuits is the answer to your ability to expand your herds and bird flocks. By adding other seeds to mostly grass you can tailor the nutrition of these fodder biscuits to your animals needs. Imagine you need more calcium, just bake and crush eggshells and add to the fodder biscuits after a few days of growing. I've heard of vitamins (crushed tablets or liquids being added and absorbed into these biscuits.... genius feedibg method!!!
My wife and I have done this for 33 years and we have saved thousands of dollars👍
I was scared I was going to have to choose between you and Doug for a second. 😂
You're totally right-know how it works and learn how to fix it yourself.
Thank you Zach for sharing this awesome content
Moving to MO in October, can’t wait!
💯% on point, u hit the nail on the head.
Doug's hat came off on the river. Floating down the stream
He was so funny
This is one of the reasons my husband won’t hire anyone to do any work on or around our house. 1. They will never do as good of a job, in today’s “moral” society, and 2. For the exact reason you said “ if you do it yourself, you can find the problem to fix it”. My husband is the “go to” guy to fix everyone else’s stuff, because he has always done it himself. It’s a great opportunity to learn and be more self sufficient. Also a great tool to have for bartering.
I love Liberty Daily! I found it after the Drudge Report went in the toilet. It's way better. That store looks so cool! I'm going to tell my friend in MO about it. I bet her grandson would love it.
Awesome update 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My easy fix for all my canning problems was to STOP CANNING!
Now, I make dry and smoked jerky DAILY, then vacuum seal it in Mason jars. I have approximately 4 year's worth of shelf-stable dried beef to date. I now use my All American Pressure Canner to make distilled water from captured rain and have approximately 2,300 gallons stored.
It took us 3 months after moving to our land to attempt setting up our solar, because we were concerned about doing it right. It can be done but it's intimidating.
It would be really great to see some more N2T videos. I pray all is well with you brother. shalom
Zach, I've been Messianic 30 years. My wife and I were led to the wilderness. Building our farm now. We want 48v system at our house. We could use some advice.

Verywell said Zack..👍
They wanted to implement codes to line the commissioners pockets. I was in the middle of my log cabin build and we fought it and rallied the town to recall the commissioners. 2 of 3. No codes were implemented. Work on the local level to change beuracrat power. We are grandfathered in and made it just under the wire.
And......move forward and carry on.
Zach, the guy who got angry with you, was just silly. Of all the things to get upset over...oy!
Doug n Stacey. I started watching them again. I really appreciated his candor recounting the events during his childhood when a pervert attempted to abuse him 😢
Some people just NEED someone else to tell them to not touch a hot stove or to not use a hair dryer in the shower.
Dead people is not a trite issue. There are codes and licensed professionals and required inspections by master electricians for a reason.
Authorities, officials and experts, the arbiters of truth. According to the media, these are the folks we must believe and obey without question.
Zach, as one of those licensed electricians. Couldnt agree more with your sentiment on the NEC. If a person foes the research, understands yhe INTENT of the code and aome fairly basic electrical theory anyone can build a system that is totally safe.
I sat through both of your classes this past weekend and thought they were thorough and enjoyed them immensely, I dabble a bit in electrical work, and I didn’t have a problem with anything you said, thanks again
I built my 1st raised bed this year with the help of Doug! Thanks Doug, many more to come!
Awesome 🙌
They are always going to be here… some people are just angry to be angry.
I was watching someone’s live stream that were telling people that liquid dairy is bad for you and you shouldn’t drink it, which is pretty broad. There’s always a safe way to do things. Like my RDC (navy version of a drill sergeant) would say, if you’re gonna do something stupid, be smart about it.
it always comes down to control.
Knowledge is power. For those of us who have mechanical aptitude and common sense to research the projects we want to complete, we represent a threat to the established gatekeepers in perceived lost revenue. Regardless of whether the project includes electrical, plumbing, or other licensed trades, there will probably always be people who want to tell others to hire someone rather than do it themselves.
Well said!👍🏻💯
It seems like I have a memory of Cody Wranglerstar once talking about how everytime he did a project around his property some busybody would turn him in to the local building inspector. There's a jackass in every person's circle of influence! I appreciate what you do Zach!
God bless.
P.S. When are you going to put out more Torah videos on your other channel?
He took a break because of his unfortunate divorce
Lead or follow or get the hell out of my way ,,, I'm doing it MY WAY !!!
I try to learn everything I possibly can. Then I put that knowledge to work in my everyday life.
Dude , Doug and Stacy are cool people. Rock on brotha
Really miss your discussions on your other channel
I wired my house for little to no effort. I’m not an electrician. I did hire one to make sure I did it right. He said I did great.
Do all electrical outlets in America have a warning label saying. Do not stick a screwdriver in outlet. 🤷🏼♂️
It's our lives to live as we see fit. Screw the Bureaucracies. If you do it and it hurts you learn.
I’ve had quote, “professionals” do plumbing for me to the tune of $5,000 and they made several mistakes, they were packed up ready to pull out of my driveway and I went to check my water and only had cold. They “forgot to hook up the hot? Really? Another time I paid $300.00 for a plumber to be at my house less than 15 mins and changed out a cartridge in my shower.
Lol😂❤ I saw the live where Doug lost his hat! 😅
Speaking of canning lids… I’ve had some problems with Ball brand lately… several lids out of a box I just opened had dinged edges! 😢 (meanwhile my Chinese lids are holding their own. Go figure)
Yeah wakey.
