Each day at the homestead brings something new. You never know what we will be doing from one day to the next, which keeps things interesting for us and for you.
We are trying to become self sufficient and fully off the grid on a budget. We are on an 18 acre homestead with two house and a garage.
I am sharing our daily videos since we moved to our new homestead to give you the background story. When I have you caught up I will continue to share daily videos and articles as we make them.
I fixed my Snapper riding lawn mower and today I sharpened the blades and cut the lawn with it. I had paid $20 for this machine and it needed a lot of work. But not it is doing the job for me.
We are cooking in our outdoor kitchen these days to save energy and reduce heat build up inside the house.
We have been eating a lot more from our own garden this year plus fish from the lakes and chicken from our own homestead. It really feels good to be providing for ourselves.

It's so nice to see someone trying everything they can to live as they choose. It's a shame that many want the same, but aren't will to make the sacrifices required to live such a life.

It is a lot of hard work but very much worth it at the end of the day. We sit back and look over our homestead with satisfaction.

I find it odd you claim to have the time to sit back and enjoy the "homestead" I have a large garden along with chickens and the rest of the yard is heavily landscaped requiring many hours of work. Long hours working outside give us little time to sit back and enjoy it. But even with the irrigation systems and heavy compost and mulch we use to lower the labor involved its still a lot of work. How you have time to spend 10 hours a day on the computer and even take naps is so not believable unless you didn't think ahead and get your firewood or finish your greenhouses or insulate the shacks or get you solar hooked up to the cabin or get rid of the trees that will shade the southern sun from the pit greenhouse. I think I answered my own questions. You don't do anything of value on the trailer lot.

Yea. he works real hard, he puts up a video every 3 days does not edit it, and its only a 5 minute clip...
Working and really bringing in the money you'd do better paying for neck brace chris kid if you would say, " would you like fries with that? " you can do better you can wipe tables like the retards, then dumpster dive to feed the family.
the rest of his time is spent on steem it trying to look like a decent guy which he is not

I just watched today’s 5 minute sit down video. How lazy is this bastard? He loves telling people what he’s done in his boring monotone, but rarely showing anything interesting. T-liar is also very tired, no naps lol. He also whined about the cold. It’s always brutally hot or cold with this joke of a survivalist.
After 5 years of trying to make videos, he still has no idea on how to get the lighting right, making himself look like a creepier version of Lurch from the Addams Family. Apparently he shot a deer and is now going to put it in “storage”, which could be that big chest freezer that he acquired a few months back. That will be run on 100% ON GRID electricity.

Reid made excuses in the video proving he is NOT Off Grid and NEVER was.
He is also OBVIOUSLY grid tied.

The little man blew the side out of another deer today. He will now be ebegging for tweezers so they can recover the deer off the surrounding trees. Maybe some straws for fresh puree.

Not really. Mrs Dig came out and truly inspected.
I am sure you know that of course since you guys have already turned me in for violations and nothing happened.
That paint was for marking the land borders and markers when we found out we had 18 acres of land, as you also know because it was in my videos.
And, if I remember right, I got that paint afterward.

@thediyworld, No, I don't know that. I did not turn you in for anything.
Of course you wouldn't have proof of that anyway.
I didn't know you painted land borders either.
Did you show yourself doing that in a video?

@thediyworld, MissDigg employees Do NOT "inspect", they "LOCATE utilities".

Well, I guess you have to tell them that then. They came to check where I was digging and survey the area. Then they marked the ground and put a flag in.

One can of spray paint to mark 3,540 lineal feet of an 18 acre plot of land? Bullshit. One can of spray paint would barely cover 100 feet (if that). If you met with Miss Dig (not Mrs. Dig...which gives me more pause not to believe you) all you would have had to do was look in the back seat of their automobile to see a full case of orange spray paint and know how much they peel through in an average day marking utilities. Sorry Troy, given your track record, I don't buy it.

@thediyworld, You left your McDonalds soda on the table in the thumbnail photo.
Those coca-colas from the fountain are really good, right?
They say they use a special water filter on the soda dispenser and ice maker to make the coke taste so good.

@offgridproject, The paying members of Patreon have yet to receive the "exclusive content" as promised by Reid since January.
Each dollar level of membership is promised more "benefits" as the monthly payment increases.
He has yet to fulfill those since January 2017.
He gave up by February 2017 and posted No Content, nothing, from there until October, but continued to collect the monthly fees all year long, paid by the subscribing members.
Since October, saying "things will be different", he returned by posting the same free videos from his YT channel, but has failed to provide promised content and promised promotional contests and giveaways.

@watertower, It was only his family that bought into that "exclusive content" anyone normal would have unsubed long ago, he is more lazy after the baby and funny thing is he does not even care for the baby...
His sister said the parents are paying for everything, that troy was just bumming
I would not expect anything to change, troy grew roots to the couch
He posts a contest bet his alt wins again like last time on YT
