    We lived in suburbia for 60 plus years. In 2008 we were leaving for home after a long weekend camping in an area we love. We saw a gorgeous wooded 5 acre rural foreclosed property for sale. After 10+ years of renovating in our free time, we have retired to it. We are so blessed to have had the foresight to move. We thought suburbia was life. Little did we know we were programmed to believe it. We turned off TV and worked on building our new life. We added to the acreage as lots came available. We never look back. We have a large garden and put up quite a bit of food from it. Its a great life. Nature is a wonderful thing. We still go to the food stores and are mainly vegetarian.. this is a farm community so there likely will be a variety of foods available to the community. We hardly skipped a beat during Covid. This little piece of heaven saved us.

    Thank you for this! We moved to 10 acres almost 2 years ago. I hear you on the hard work and learning curve. I’ve never felt so alive! I do more before 10:00 am than I used to do in a day in the suburbs. Our kids are watching and are looking to do the same.

A small older farming area… so peaceful…. I’ve been prepping for years, now I finally have a place to store the necessities…

    Pete, I’ve now watched more than 20 of your videos. I started with your chicken videos, since I’m looking to get my own flock soon. Your videos are well produced, enjoyable to watch, and inspiring. The background music is pleasant, and your audio/video production is above average. Have you recorded a video on your background? Curious to know where you used to live, what’s your day job (how are you paying for all your expenses?), how long you’re married, kids, what your wife thinks about this change, where you got your DIY skills, etc. I’ll be browsing through your channel to check out more videos. I recently moved out of big city life in California after 45 years to raise my family in a more wholesome location. I have no regrets. Keep up the good work. More people like me are stumbling upon your channel and learning and being encouraged by you.

      Thanks for the kind words. I was a machinist, tool maker and tool grinder for thirty years and had rental property along the way. I have no kids and the wife and I have been married 10 years. I've always been tinkering with mini bikes and lawn mower engines as a kid and always loved to fix and build things so I picked up a lot of skills here and there. Glad my videos could help you out. Things are getting really crazy around the world right now and it's very clear what the world leaders and the WEP's agenda is with climate change. I would stay clear or the big cities, we've all seen the riots and civil unrest, things will only get worse from here on in. Stay safe and thanks for watching.

    Pete, I grew up in the city, Cleveland, TN to be exact. Our lot was about 50-75' wide and about 100-150' long. Almost all of the backyard was a garden. We grew everything; green beans, tomatoes, peppers, squash, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes and a lot of other things. The newspaper came down one day and did a story on my mom. She was standing on a step ladder picking green beans out of a nearby Maple tree. My dad would also plant tomatoes any where there was a spot. Mohammed and put stuff in the freezer and we would eat on this all Winter long. I wish I had paid better attention. My mom could plant a

    At stages of individual lives, there may be the desire to live in the city. Other times there is the desire to live in the country. I grew up on a farm and was usually pretty happy to be somewhere else that was more interesting for me. Now I like both the city & country. Though right now I’d rather be on my farm than in my city apartment.

    Amen brother. When evil goes unpunished (Hillary, Barack, etc) then you know we are living in the last days. We are in a subdivision 20 mins from town on 1/2 acre lots and we’re considered agricultural. We have chickens. No rules. We can have whatever we want. We’re lucky. I have stuff stashed away and a huge garden in process. I dry a lot and can stuff. I have started seeds I ordered from Bakers Creek. Their seeds are awesome! I save seeds also. I just wish I hadn’t given up my 20 acre farm in VA. LOVE GRILLED SQUASH!! ❤️❤️❤️

  • @scottbaruth6386
    @scottbaruth6386 4 года назад +2

    I like living in the country, but it is a lot of work, and way more expensive. You need to really want it. Your first purchase is a zero turn mower, not the suburban 150.00 walmart model. Then some kind of barn to park it in, or one of your cars will sit outside. Hard to believe but even on 6 acres I still get to listen to the neighborhood dogs barking at night. I love to garden, and I agreed with everything you said except for the neighborhood association's being bad. Not everyone keeps a tidy homestead like yours, and IMO the association keeps you from getting a neighbor who drives your property value down. We bought, fixed up, and sold through the years moving up to afford buying land and building a new home, so property values were very important for me then. You don't have to drive very far around here to see a property where the wife says "oh my god, who lives there?" The big money jobs are in the city. I say make the money, and get out. But that requires a plan. You have to always have a plan, always I think.

    Pete, I’ve wanted to move out to the country for a long time but every farmer I know is in a mountain of debt. I work in aviation and make a decent living. Is there really a way to do it and not pile up debt?

    • @petebeasttexashomesteading
      @petebeasttexashomesteading  4 года назад +2

      Remember that we are not actual farmers, but homesteaders. All you need is a decent house with at least a few acres away from too many neighbors to grow as much of your food as you can. My orchard garden is 100'x200' and not full yet and it produces more food then we can store and eat. You'll have to consider getting a small tractor, some implements for it and a zero turn mower. I know people that don't make a lot of money and are country living and have all these things.

    • @trinaevans5778
      @trinaevans5778 4 года назад +1

      Depending on how long you’ve owned a house in the city can change that a lot. We sold our home in the city and moved out onto 12 acres. We bought raw land. The profit from the house has almost covered our costs so far. Which is land tractor water storage tanks...doing rain water collection (not allowed in some areas) and installing electric. We are doing an alternative building style. But we do have living areas. We are trying to be debt free. So we do what we can each paycheck. It just depends on what is most important to you and your wife. But an example for us when we sold the house it sold for 186k we bought back it in 04. And it was 97k. We are almost completely debt free now.

    There's a problem. A lot of city people are moving to the rural towns to make it into the city where they left. I live in Azle. When we moved here it was at 11,000 people. Now it's near 13,000. More housing developments are popping up and with it more hoa's. When our town's growing, more people are demanding our town to get bigger. More restrictions will pop up along with growth. We got out of the Ft. Worth/River Oaks area to have a small town life. We now have chickens and turkeys and I'm afraid of the day when these city minded new residents of ours will pull city leaders to stop people from having livestock altogether. These animals of ours are our babies and I can't imagine life without them. We had one lone busy body complain about someone's ducks. She cowed her way to make the hoa make that family get rid of their pets. Hoa's are the mafia.

God is a part of us all, inside of us. the kingdom of heaven is within us - luke 17:21. give to God (which is within us) that which is God's - the earth, nature, etc. if 'men' are all created equal, then we each should have access to equal amounts of land to live God's intended way of life. commercial farming could be left behind, and all of that land for animals would be divided up and the animals become part of everyone's homestead. everyone could contribute 10% of their crops/materials/resources to their local community. no taxes. love thy neighbor, share with thy neighbor, cooperate with thy neighbor.
