    I am a 76 year old retiree living on Vancouver Island, my week is taken up with anticipation of Sunday mornings, I don’t think you realize just how special you two are. I literally am transported into off grid living through you. I am so impressed by all the hard work you two put in and the dedication you have to succeed. Continued success in all that you do and my only wish is that your show was an hour long lol. ❤

    Back in 1970 something I took a NOLS wilderness camping course (highly recommend). They taught us one of the most important things is called "expedition behavior", which is basically maintaining positive attitude and continuing to help each other especially when the worst happens. You two are the essence of expedition behavior. It is inspiring to watch. Blessings. Be safe. Be well. May all your ups and downs have only soft landings. ☮🕊☯💙💛💙💛💙💛🙏4 Ukraine.

    Watching your awesome progress in just ONE year’s time is such fun. The planning, obtaining the right materials, hiring a team to work with you, executing the plan with enthusiasm, hard work every day, and committed determination to just do it! has gained you my admiration. I confess to a bit of envy too, if I am honest. Oh, to be young and strong and smart and have such a vision of life. Addendum: Just watched the last part of your video and felt so emotional about your truth. You shared with us the truth of the fear, a kind of sadness about what you were leaving behind, and the raw challenges you faced. That touches my heart.

    Around 12 months ago I suffered from a mental breakdown and in the time that I took off work to recover, I found your channel when I was seeking new inspiration and thinking for a transformed life. My recovery has mirrored your transformation of the cabin - uptime, downtimes but progress by living intentionally and without allowing fear of the unknown to hold you back. Thank you.

You inspired me to take a wood-working course and even though I’ve only made a cutting board so far, there are so many possibilities ahead. Cheers to a great winter ahead.

    Having grown up with a mother and two sisters who were good at accomplishing anything they put their mind to I was still surprised at what you two have accomplished since I started watching the channel during your van build. You tackled things I would have shied away from even in my prime (I'm 70) and I always liked a challenge. You are both impressive people, which is why I suppose you have over 300K subscribers and even more regular viewers. Much luck in your future together. May there never be an obstical you cannot overcome together.

    I found your channel like 2 months ago, I am so glad I did. I am finally getting to a place in my life where I can genuinely start looking at purchasing my own land. My job is fully remote so I have to make sure I can access the internet but that is my only limitation. Off-grid life is something I have always been drawn too and watching your videos on it has just rekindled my love for it. Currently looking for my own slice of heaven. Thank you for making your videos, its helping me understand the issues that might come up in a build like this. Keep being awesome.

    When I watch your videos and see your relationship, your love and your pure, unfiltered energy, I feel like I'm kinda stuck in the Matrix, just paddling on my way, go to work, have a vacation once a year, do this, do that but I'm kinda used to it. Your videos always gave me a shiny glance of whats possible, when you're outside the Matrix and living the life, you really want. I found you only about a year ago but I'm proud to be a member of the pack and I think you will rock this adventure together even further than you can imagine right now! Thank you! :D

Working on relationships is not always easy but it helps when you have love, humor and the positive energy that you both have. You continually astonish me with your dedication to the land and to your love. I wish I was your Mom, because your folks must be so incredibly proud of the young ladies that you have become.

You both are resilient, curious, adventurous, have the abilities of common sense and analytical thinking to bring your dreams to fruition. Liked how you spoke about "fear" and overcoming it...largely because you have a very loving and strong relationship. I'm an "AG1er" because of you. You are hard workers but have done or built other things to bring you balance - that awesome sauna! Looking forward to next Sunday's video and say hello to your adopted brother Porter - he rocks as well! H.
