Growing your own food sounds wonderful until the crops don't grow enough to cure hunger or are raided by animals or insects or die of plant disease or drought.
I love how ur children looks happy, even though they were use to a different life in having everything easy,and now they're just beautiful kids they will soon realize that mommy and daddy made the best decisions for them❤ just subscribe to ur channel i love it
This is what I call life and living. Wonderful! So good for children to grow up experiencing this. I'm longing for country living, not off the grid as you but still, living far from the city. What are you doing about the childrens education? You should find out about digging a borehole, you don't have to do it the expensive way, do it jua kali, by getting some locals that know how to do it. You will desparately need water during the dry spells.
Yeesss i was about to right the same, got me feeling anxious for him man especially when i saw him puling his fingers out fast 😧, don't know how but i knew this was going to happen seing how he was pushing his hands in. Please bro use a stick or since you like to build you can build a stick with the same shape and size as the entrance of the feeder (male type) at the head of the stick for more safety.
I just came across your video just now and I love what I saw therefore, I subscribed. I live in Alberta Canada which is very cold right now so I am jealous
You are such a humble and intelligent woman. The way you explain offgrid technology, I guess the modern farm machinery on your homestead is some Canadian influence as well, and above all you seem to be enjoying the rural lifestyle. The kind of knowledge we need in Africa. African Americans who migrate to Africa must learn from this, most of them are just whining about this and that, yet here is a Caucasian girl handling Africa like a Pro.
@@wearehomesteaders1257 I feel sorry for you because unless you and your Kenyan husband have many children to take care of you at old age when you can no longer take care of yourself, you will spend your old age in painful hardship physically and financially. Make no mistake about Kenya - it's a third-world nation lacking the social safety net that most Western countries offer or lacking the comparable quality even if it offers some to its residents. Kenya is also far from being a harmonious society, being divided by regionalism, tribalism, ethnics, religion, politics and, of course, wealth. Unless you are a woman who grew up in rural Canada doing things old-fashioned ways, I doubt your happiness in Kenyan countryside would last.
...well in. My. Opinion,.? WHO CARES,... About ah. Caucasian living the. OFF-- GRID,..Life W/O. ? ...WHAT ? COMPLAINING.?? .❓❓ ❓ ..PLEASE Again....➡...WhO,...G I V E s ah * F L Y I N G -- F * U * E.....👀 🙄 ❓❓❓... ...Certainly,... Not. M e
True. I'm doing the same. Leaving Canada and moving to Honduras. The land is ready, trees have been planted; we're just sorting out some things in Canada and should be leaving in 1-2 years.
I grew up in central Kenya with a similar context & all i can contribute, unsolicited btw, is that your children will be the greatest beneficiaries of such a life. The amount of grit, discipline, joy, & improvasiation required for such a life are all the principles they'll inherit from y'all & implement as tenets of their own lives.
I am New subscriber and welcome 🤗 to my beautiful, comfortable and lovely country Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪. I wonder 🤔 which part of Kenya are you residing? Otherwise, I am here to enjoy your vlogs ❤. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏.
Wow, nice!! I also moved from USA to rural Kenya; and recently started a RU-vid channel to share my relocation experience. Glad to see that I'm not alone in this journey 🙂
Peace and blessings I truly love your journey as we also moved from Europe to Kenya and are now living in our farm. I admire your courage of doing things differently. Do you make butter from your raw milk cream? I been contemplating starting a RU-vid channel but i am such an introvert and i have all these doubts in.my head. How did you find the courage. I truly admire your channel for it's authenticity, you dont copy and paste. I wish you more views.
Yes we do make our own butter from the cream we get. It's amazing the number of products you can make with just milk! We fell in love with the land and didn't have a choice but to homestead because it was off-grid. It's a challenge many days but we also wouldn't have it any other way. Digging in the ground and being in nature and with our animals is so therapeutic! Ah so you're in Kenya too after moving from abroad. I find having different cultures creates such a richness!
I love watching your vlogs Was wondering what happened to you guys as I haven't seen much of.you guys lately Love to see more of this humble and hardworking family
I've never tried growing peanuts! You can buy them raw and make your own peanut butter... We have tried growing macadamia nuts but it is so dry where we live and they didn't do well. But we'll keep trying!
@@dokumentipodroz3973 okay! What's the status there currently? What about the neighboring war- I had Poland is on target if they give in a runway for F-16's this isn't going to be well. Someone invited me to podkarpackie voivodeship..
@@dokumentipodroz3973 fine, then translators would not assist either in a 21st century a world of technologies people would hardly navigate and travel without a tour guide because the gadgets installed in world maps then is useless and money making as a result of wrong and not exact directions!
0:48 recycle the trash, which will create compost for future produce and if you get a bio digester you can use all your food scrap and animal waste as a source of fuel for the bio digester, which in return will provide free gas for cooking and hot water if connected to a boiler. this way you have nearly Zero waste and you continue to live off grid. 👊🏿
Do not burn, Turn the paper into briquets where there is cellulose from wood. I note there is NO DRIP Irrigation. I need the TV and Internet. Lots I would do different BUT appreciate the sacrifice and tenacity to DO IT.
She sure does enjoy the alfafa straight up, but I chipped a bail to maximize on the protein intake in a measurable manner. It's not labour intensive at all, I think of it as involving not Tiresome. (The guy chipping).
Well life decisions are simply personal, personal within a holistic environment, period. Life is better lived by individuals who do not seek external views and perceptions. Period
Canada is a very harsh place to live. Weather, taxes, depression, no chance of getting in a relationship etc.... there are so many reasons to leave from this place. I would rather also live in my ancestral home in India one day I wish, life is so simple and beautiful in those countries away from big cities
I know it is satisfying to grow your own fruit and vegetables. I assume you make your own butter from having a milk cow. Your ways remind me of my childhood. 😊 Continue to share with us. Thanks !
Thanks and yes, you are very right- we make our own butter. It's been a challenge to learn as this way of living as been quite lost. Also very rewarding
@@wearehomesteaders1257 I can remember my grandmother giving my sister and I a Mason jar of cream to shake until it turned into butter. It was fun as a child. That was many many moons ago.
