We ALMOST Gave Up on Homesteading When...

- Today we are talking about several of the times that we almost decided to quit homesteading or at least parts of it. Not everything works out as planned every time...but you have to keep going.

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

I don't even homestead. I live in an apartment and work in a casino, but I look forward to your videos every day.
How funny!
I love watching your videos.
The best on TH-cam 🌹
God bless you guys 🙏 good luck 👍
Same here! But I HAVE had a garden before, in Ozark, MO! Missouri’s best crop are rocks & weeds! 😢. I live in Washington state currently. Watching this vlog channel keeps me in touch with my Missouri roots.
I just commented basically the same thing to them yesterday on another of their videos! I live in the middle of a suburb of Oklahoma City (Moore) and the only gardening I do is flowers and herbs and peppers in pots in my backyard! But I have learned so much from them, I almost feel like I could homestead too. 😁
Living vicariously😁
You both come across as so down to earth, honest and humble. I think that's why I like your channel so much. With 151,000 subscribers, you are clearly doing something right...Love from Canada. God bless.
so true so genuine hugsssss from Ontario Canada
These good folks are my neighbors. They love up on the plateau. And i reside down in the valley by Hunter Creek. Keep up the good work.
Canada here sending some live! You two are awesome 👍 your hard work is so motivating. Don't ever stop.
I meant sending love 😂
Hi from 2022 when they have 733k subs!!❤❤❤
And now you have150,000 plus viewers and you are great teachers I look forward every morning the frist thing I do is look for you thank you I think you are awesome
I'm thankful that you guys didn't give up. You guys really encourage me
Thank you so much or your testimony....it's so important for others to know that they are NOT a failure but that they only need to persevere through it all. Thanks for the laughs too....you guys really went through it!!
Great video of encouragement & faith. You are the 1st homesteading channel I watched. I just happened upon you by accident. I’m not even a homesteader! I am now hooked on them. I learn so much through them. It’s not just about homesteading, it’s about life, it’s successes & failures. Also love the recipes & homeopathic methods you use. Keep up the great work & I’ll be watching. Love & Hugs from Ft. Worth, Texas.
This is exactly what happened with me. Now, I wouldn't miss a video :).
Me as well. Although I do can my veggies and cook from scratch most of the month. Occasionally take out pizza. I wouldn’t miss a video either totally Love you guys.
I look forward to your videos -- I always learn something new or different. You both are great teachers. Keep it up.
The keywords...We prayed about it! The Lord works in mysterious ways! 💋🙏
Congratulations guys. I appreciate all the content and knowledge that you share.
The Lord has led me through some very tough times over the last couple of decades. I give Him praise and thanks each and every day!
Your truth and honesty is so refreshing, no sugarcoating love ya
Is the new sitcom “Bless This Mess” about you two? BTW I love watching your videos!
I almost gave up on life. But through chronic illness here I still am knowing He has a purpose for me and I will persevere as you to have. Thankyou for this video Kevin and Sarah. You truly are a very special couple. Kylie xxx
Keep moving forward. The homesteading life may make you feel better and improve your life. 👍
@@rosejafari8917 thankyou so much for taking the time to be kind x I'm not a homesteader but my dearest wish would to be able to be one
Never give up on life. It is very difficult to stay alive than to die.
Just remember Life is what we make of it! It's a push, not a drag! 🙏
Almost sounds like the only thing missing were the locusts! Test for you determination. And, you passed! We're all glad you did, all of your Traditionalists
Life is not a cabbage, it's a tree. It will weather many storms & the sun will shine on its face for many years. God Bless.
Loved you comment Scot G!!!
My day is incomplete until I watch you and Kevin and Jess and Miah @ Roots and Refuge. Thank you for the opportunity to live my dream through your adventures. God Bless
Kate McPherson I wish I could have it 👍🏼 10xs for your comment because I feel the exact same way. Watching Living Traditions Homestead and Roots and Refuge complete my day!
Thanks for hanging in there and showing if you keep working it will pay off in the long run. Love and respect, peace and blessings. ☆☆☆☆☆
Good morning! Thank you for not giving up and sharing your message/information with us. Enjoy your day. God bless
You two teach by your approach to all things. You both make it sound doable and fun. Never give up!
I jumped from Cali, to VA. Best move I’ve ever made.
I'm so glad you two didn't give up.. I learn so much from you and just plain enjoy listening to you, and following tour journey
I am so grateful for you guys. This morning, anticipating listening to you was the only thing that got me out of bed. I thank you and so does my work!
So GLAD you stuck with it. Your generosity of spirit is a gift! Thank you. And continued blessings.
My Pop called it "sticktoitivness".
It is encouraging to hear of your journey, and that you have overcome the pitfalls along the way. Hope you always
do well.
Great job guys! I actually teared up when you showed your award and talked about it. Very inspiring.
Awesome video guys thank you for sharing your story.. going through a rough patch right now and your story of perseverance and optimism really helps thank you so much
I really love that you got the TH-cam award, we are all really happy for you!
I truly believe that your Christian testimony is as important as your homesteading message.! Keep giving God the glory and he’ll bless you richly!
I agree with what you said maybe someday we can have them give them their testimony I think that would be awesome
Keith S ....I agree . Living on a homestead helps you see God hand in everything you do. Learning to trust in God to guide your decisions is essential for success!
IT IS GREAT listining you all knowing the Lord is leading.
I think you guys are great! I've learned so much from you and I'm glad I happened upon your channel 💜
Congratulations on your silver play button ▶️ I enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing
Congratulations on the silver button! Thanks for all the encouragement. I was so happy I got to meet you at Baker Creeks Spring Festival
Wow!!! Now your subscribers are at 607k!!!! You are both great teachers and are encouraging so many. God will continue to bless and use this, your ministry.
Congratulations!!!!
God is so gracious and kind❤❤❤
I very much enjoy the variety of your videos. Raising different animals, growing different crops, kitchen craft, home repair, chicken math, and so much more. I have to keep watching. You may show something that I have no need for, or interest in today, but the subject for tomorrow may be something I really need. You have even shown me things that I did not know I was interested in, until you showed me. Thank you and congratulations.🤗
I'm so glad you never gave up...You guys are the one channel that I watch religiously. You know that before you know it....you guys will soon be at 200K...❤️😊❤️
Congratulations! The willingness to persevere as well as listening to and trusting God in the still small voice in your hearts is everything. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on your award!! Yay!! I am a new watcher one month plus. I came across your videos and have been hooked. I really enjoy the things you talk about. I now make my own bread after watching Kevin make bread. You two are a highlight in my day. Keep up the good work!! 🙏🏼 🙌
I needed this video, I just started my TH-cam channel and nobody watches. My garden the last 2 years was a disaster. If I could be 1/10th as successful as you two, it would be a dream come true. Congratulations on your milestone, you should be very proud!
Thank you for all you do. Thank you all for not give up. God bless y'all
Thank you. Congrats on your TH-cam award.
We look forward to every video, and we have learned so much. Congratulations, and much love, from California.
You two are so delightful!😀 You remind me of my husband and myself. We actually went through everything you talked about here. And ah boy, how I love y’all turn to God and wait on him. 🙏❤️🙏
I totally care about what you guys have to say. 💗 Discovered your channel at the beginning of the pandemic trying to relearn how to garden. We only live 25min outside of City on 1 acre. Lived here 25yrs and now that we are retired and semi-retired you guys are letting me see the real potential of this land and how we can be more prepared through these uncertain times. I look forward to your videos and have been binge watching older ones. Thank you for sharing your lives. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Always follow your heart and dreams and most of all, listen for God's voice. He is always there and is in charge. God Bless!
I wish I could have known all about homestead when I was younger, I have about given up on gardening as I am 87 yrs. young, but still enjoy your wonderful videos God Bless.
135 lots people up at this time in 10 minutes span. u guys are just nice relatable folk so i keep watching. congrats! i wonder how long u can call out loud before ur next neighbor hears you where u live? A simple way of life looks very attractive.
I'm so happy the both of you didn't give up. Congratulations on your award.
Looking forward to many years of watching your channel. For bless.
I’m so great full for your videos, you inspire me to preserve no matter how long it takes to achieve your dreams!
Good on you guys. I don't miss a day. Hate that you don't upload on the weekend. 😔. Thank you. You do a brilliant job and many more happy days.
Thank you, I needed this inspiration this morning!
This video was one year ago and now look what you have now!!! Lots of followers and a beautiful wholesome family and homestead!!! Love you guys and keep doing what you do!!!!!
I know that you are crazy lecture so well. We just recently bought 7 1/2 acres of raw land in Douglas County. If everything goes as planned LOL we will be neighbors to you as a crow flies. Keep up the good work love your videos.
Thank you!
This was a fantastic educational and inspirational video.
Pls dont give up.i still love ur videos
I personally thank GOD that you didn't throw in the towel and walk away from your homestead life, and on top of that, your TH-cam channel. I admire your fortitude. GOD bless your family and your life style. HUGS and blessings from NY State 👍🐾👣👣🦋🌠🏞🌌🤗. SUPER CONGRATULATIONS on your Silver Plaque 100k plus Honours. 👍🥰👏. I felt like giving up a month ago I found out I have kidney cancer, then 2 weeks ago by ct scan, that it is in my female organs and spine. But, GOD is my leader, and I know there is a plan for me. So, NEVER give UP, NEVER Surrender. HUGS and blessings for ev1. Happy Spring
Where would the world be without great teacher's... I love learning about new things!🙏🙏🙇🙇🙋🙋
Hi congrats Kevin and Sarah keep going on bless you I keep waiting for your videos though I am from India and I live in kolkata I know that I can't make anything like you guys but still I watch your videos and love to and learn many things that I didn't know ever existed
😀😀😀😀
Thanks for this video. We have been looking for a homestead for almost 2 years, and haven't found the right place yet and are feeling very discouraged. This is just what I needed to hear today.
Also I am attracted to you because of your faith in God .And your blessings you give at the end of your video
Me too.
This resonates with me. My husband and I are older. Me:61 and he is 68. We are buying a 14.5 acre homestead (vintage 1880’s) and are going to be retiring there. The place is in pretty good shape, but there’s a lot to be done. Clearing fences, repairs to barn and sheds, taming extensively overgrown gardens, etc… This is our dream, but there are fears that we’re a bit old to be starting this. But we’re both pretty strong and healthy and we’re hard workers. We’re moving from NW Arkansas to southern central Missouri too and leaving behind family and friends. It exciting and scary. Wish us luck!
And 1 year later, look at you go! 451k subscribers! Thank you for sharing your dream, your knowledge and encouragement.
What keeps me going is...what's on the other side of quit...? I enjoy learning from y'all...thanks for your encouragement
Listening to you talking about starting starting a TH-cam channel, brings back memories from when I uploaded my first video. Views come slow at the beginning. It takes time to be discovered and to start gaining subscribers. But your channel is growing fast now. With 5 videos a week, that really helps build your channel. Good luck, you have one of the best homesteading channels on TH-cam.
Thank you for your videos. I watch them from Stuttgart, Germany. God bless you!
Congratulations on your award!!! You two truly have the teaching gene!!♡♡♡♡♡
The land will not ever give you anything, you need to work for it and good for you to stick with it and conquer! For Sarah, I really appreciate your video about you personal issues and not given up! An example to all of us!
I am a balcony gardener with 50 pots. Your vids have inspired me to grow from seed, this year.
Fingers crossed!! :)
Missouri welcomes you with open arms
So glad y'all didn't give up! God bless...
Good morning Kevin and Sarah. It is nice to hear that everything isn’t coming up roses for others. Knowing some weeds are a part of life makes it bearable in the tough times.
Love this!! Hope the rain tomorrow doesn't cancel the farmers market!
Congratulations!! God bless you !
I love to watch you never give up you are awesome teachers God bless you 🌹
Last June we moved into our property and firstly had no hot water. Then the new cooker came with out the appropriate pieces to make it safe to use. Then the toilet went wrong throwing water everywhere, oh and we had two blockages on the septic tank that filled our path with sewerage. That was obviously a short piece but with in the first two months. We are still here and loving life xxx
You guys are not just tough, you are both stubborn as mules. You are focused, well directed, and well married to each other. Congrats on your award and I look forward to more vids. Happy days.
Glad you never gave up. Learn so much from you. :)
The You Tube award gave me goosebumps. Congratulations to you!
What great lesson for people : Don't give up! Keep pushing forward.
Too many people don't keep persevering and get to the goal they'd like to achieve. I hope some sincerely listens and takes your advice.
I admire you both and so very happy it all worked out.
Thank you for not giving up! It is often darkest before the light!
I love your videos because you both talk plainly and have good teaching ability. Well done.
My intro to gardening started with two busted doggie pools. I grew tomatoes, green peppers, and Watermelons. That was 5-6 years ago with lots of disappointment here and there. Every year my garden has doubled in size. Now I grow 30-40 lbs Watermelons! Determination and sacrifices is well worth the work. Congratulations on your success!
I have learned that when you teach others what you do..With their questions we learn more.
Huge thanks y’all, God put y’all in my life for a reason. Still cleaning up my homestead also.
Horace and I enjoyed this video so much! We have begun TH-cam videos for Horace's Meditations, Nature Lessons and History Lessons. We believe we have something worthwhile to offer others. Yes, it is hard to be patient, but his viewers are growing. We love what you are doing for homesteading life style . If we were younger, we would be right with you! Never give up! You are doing great! Ellen and Horace
What a breath of fresh air! There are so many skeptics out there that believe the only way is a 9 to 5 job and being stuck in traffic for over an hour. So happy for you and your family.
Congratulations on your award your videos are great and I will always watch you.
Wow! 100,000! And today 1 year later, 461,000 subscribers! Congratulations! You two are awesome. Love all your videos.
Love the trees blooming in background. Gotta love Spring. I cannot even imagine not living out in nature in the country with animals and wildlife. I am a cattle rancher and have bred goats before. I have had ducks and chickens. My older son died I almost gave up.The grief was overwhelming and I could not care for them all them. I still breed pure bred Santa Gertrudis cattle. Now I have my younger son missing everyday is a struggle but with God, nature around me, good friends get me through. Bless you for sharing.
So happy that you guys didn't listen to the negative naysayers and you kept working hard and trying to reach your goal! I am loving your videos, you guys are so knowledgeable and have so much to share!
I am so happy you all listened to God and never gave up! We all learn so much from you every day. Your smiles convey how much you love what you do and how happy you are to be doing it! Blessings from NE Missouri!
The look on Sarah's face is priceless.. She cracks me up. Thanks!
Thank God for not giving up ...its. he that helps us to focus our eyes on him....and He always brings hope to hopeless ....God bless and keep u in his care ....love your outlook on love ....
I face serious challenges every day. It is a constant battle. I appreciate you two.
I love how the grit that got you married so young, (in a Baby Blue Sequinned Tuxedo no less) that allowed you to dig in, get out of debt and buy your dream, has given you a little pat on the back, Kevin will appreciate the shine in particular. A man after my own heart (very little in life can't be improved by a sequin or bit of rhinestone or two in my humble opinion) Congratulations again guys you deserve it. What is it the most successful people say? "The harder I worked, the more success came my way"
Never, ever give up and ALWAYS have faith that God will guide you if you seek Him. Great testimony about perseverance and faith. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! I am on my first property in a house built in 1890, learning that it is not enough land for what I want to do. Looking towards our next steps.
I’m 67 and not able to do much outdoors because of an accident I had a few years ago but I very much enjoy your channel, I like your wholesome, enthusiastic approach to the problems you encounter on your homesteading journey. You are a great pair of teachers and parents and live a very “normal”life..
We are very GLAD, that you never gave up!!! Thank God!!! Be blessed!!!
So Inspiring. I'm retired, a gardener on a small plot, and a stock market trader, very independent, who never gives up. I've used so many of your ideas in so many ways. All I can say is thank you so much!
You guys make me want to cry...NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!! God Bless you and your family
Just loved and and wanted to say thank you for this encouraging video. I have wanted to homestead for many years, but can't get my husband on board. I have severe RA and he is afraid it will be too much for me. I believe it will help me feel better. You have strengthened my hope for having a baby homestead. Blessings upon you and your lovely girls.
Many of us care about what you are doing and we appreciate you sharing good times and bad. We also really appreciate you sharing your faith. Never give up.
NO! Thank you! Thank You for Holding on! Thank you for letting us into your home...It is a great Life! I had the animals..I had the life..I am older now... I miss what you have now..But the memories are priceless to me...
I have lived here in the Missouri Ozarks for 16 years now. I m originally from Central California, born, raised and live there 43 years.
Our first year in Missouri was very hard, we moved here in November and it just happened to be a cold, icy winter. I felt like someone had picked me up and dumped me in iceland. Summer came the humity and bugs were even worse. It took some time to adjust.
Now I would never live anywhere else. I watch as you lay down your roots and grow, we learn from are failures as well as from success. I see happiness an peace in your
smiles, and I wish you continued blessings from all your hard work and adventures. Enjoy this great Spring and sunshine today.
