Any suggestions or tips for us as we begin looking for houses/homesteads is ABSOLUTELY welcomed. You know any other sustainable ways to save money when creating a home? Let us know! We SO appreciate you and are so happy to be here weekly again! :)
Your beautiful family gives me hope. I appreciate your kindness in our world. ❤🏳🌈🙏Oh look, I legally changed my name too. I am forever wishing you health and happiness.
Thank you for sharing the news and updates. I love the whole background behind becoming, officially, The Dürt family. Re/ sustainable homes … check the state/city/county where you are landing because more and more areas are providing money and tax incentives for homeowners to go green with their energy … solar panels for home energy etc. And that used to be very expensive but like I mentioned; many places are catching onto the importance of making sustainable energy a priority … in MN/WI there are many counties which will pay/give credits for people to place solar panels on their homes basically for free. And of course composting and rain water barrels and all sorts of things you probably know more about than I do! I also love the beautiful books that can be found at thrift/second hand/repurposing shops and areas. Good luck on your journey to your new home! Sending all my love. ☮️❤️🌷
@@zerdanphunrab there’s something so spiritual and freeing about creating our own names. Can’t even describe it. Sending you love and happiness as well!!!
Just remember with a new home you need to plant an apricot and apple tree. Both these trees will prov8de fresh fruits that you can use in many ways. They are also ways greeting family and friends. As for the inside of the home try and find wooden furniture from thrift stores . Solid wood furniture achors the home plant a mixer of flowers and fruits and vegetables around the outside of the home which will provide you with fresh food year round. Mix in some mint plants which will keep ticks and other animals away also garlic. These are also great additions to cooking and health benefits. Mint has great vitamins and can be added to salads or made in jellies and teas
I shop at the goodwill. Nothing like paying $5 for a dress shirt that's barely been worn and it's a designer brand. That basket you bought is gorgeous.
Okayyyy way to make me cry in the first five seconds, Matthew, jeez! And Elliot, those thrift finds are SO EPIC. You preach that thrift gospel! Also YAY OFFICIAL DURT FAMILY!!!!!! You three are pure joy.
So happy that intro could speak to you. I was basically giving myself a pep talk in that moment. And glad you are enjoying our thrifting content. With us getting a homestead, prepare yourself for a lot more of thrift scavenges! :)
Thank you! The name was created by my inspiration for eastern spirituality and Frederich Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" which is why it has a little German flare. And thank you for the compliments! We really need to get to know you more!!!
Congratulations on your new names! I have reservations about writing this, but here goes. First, stop thinking this has to be a difficult or challenging time. Tune into your spiritual source/family, and ask for guidance. This is how my husband and I have always done it. When looking for a home - to live in, or for rental property - we talk about what we want in general. Then we call a realtor, and give our requirements. The realtor looks for options for us and schedules showings, maybe a total of 6-8, over a two day period. We ALWAYS find the house we'll buy within those houses we look at. Back in 1976, when we decided to live on a sailboat, I contacted a broker, told him our requirements, and he sent paperwork. He was in Florida, we were living in Michigan, and one of the boats was called Tropic Moon (a 42-ft., steel-hulled ketch), that was located in Grenada in the southern Caribbean. It was the only boat we looked at, and it was our home for 14 years. We buy used cars this way. When I go in a bookstore, I ask my spirit guide to lead me to the books I'm meant to buy, and I walk right up to them. That's not to say there isn't plenty of hard work ahead of you to make your dreams come true, but if you can understand how guided you are, and what a resource you have with your spirit family, it makes decisions a lot easier. We never have the attitude - if we keep looking, we might find something better. We pick something that will work for us, and then do the work to improve it and make it ours. If I were in your current situation, I'd look for property that has an extra building or two on the land and set them up for Airbnb, or something similar. We've never done that, but from what I hear, it sounds like a way to practically print money. Unless you're taking outside employment, this might be a way to generate income while you're developing your property. And since you're such friendly people, I could see this working for you. Well, you asked!! 😉I wish you the best.
Jean, I am SOOOOO happy you took the time to offer this advice. Wow. I really need to know more about you and your life. You don't happen to share your story online at all, do you? We definitely allowed our intuition lead the way in this process. I did a TON of research on the homes I wanted to check out, but it wasn't until we were physically in the space that we could emotionally and spiritually know what was right. By the way, we found one! We put in an offer. It was so easy, we knew right away. More details in our newest video that goes live in a bit. Also, we soooo were interested in a property that had a second building and we thought it would be perfect for AirBnB or to host any farming volunteers. But it was in shambles. So, for our home that we put an offer in, we are hoping to find a small cabin shed to convert and turn into a little place for guests and volunteers and and airbnb hosts to sleep in. Anyway, keep the advice coming! We MUST know more about your life!!!
I just discovered your site and I love you all. I will be following you from now on. I will have to find and watch your videos. Watching you makes me so happy
I love your videos. I have missed you and I can’t wait for you to be in your new home. Curated table setting and all. Bowls, books, baskets and flowers. The bin shopping segment was awesome! As you probably know from Mallory, I have always loved thrifting. And used, all cotton, cloth napkins… yes, love them! And clothing too. Congratulations on everything that is happening. Love to Uma and the kitties. I look forward to seeing you soon!
Oh, we can't wait to be neighbors with Mallory and Josh and to get even more opportunities around you! We just love you (and are so deeply inspired by you) so so so much! And of course, we are SO excited about this upcoming chapter with your daughter. Big things happening!
The BINS!! Elliot's smile after thrifting! What amazing finds!! This whole video feels like I'm sitting there chatting with Elliot, especially as they rampage about consumer culture 😂Congratulations on the name change! So fun to binge as I am catching up with your now weekly videos!
Oh my gosh I couldn’t even wait to watch to the end to start commenting! I LOVE everything about this video! I love everything “old” or “previously loved”. My mother’s favorite stores were the thrift stores and she had the prettiest tablescapes and most welcoming and comfortable beds with mismatched sheets and quilts and charming pillows. I have recently started buying thrift items to use the fabric for sewing “new” and useful items. AND WHY do we need new stuff?? Our planet needs our TLC so bad! 😢 Keep sharing your story and thrift hauls! Love you guys! Safe travels, your fan from Omaha ❤
Awe, I love your enthusiasm and nostalgia in this comment. How special. I think it would do us all some good if we started living more like your grandmother. The future ways are from the past. As for using materials from thrift stores, yes! Elliot wants to start making Uma's clothes once we settle down on our homestead.
Firstly the purple colour flower is so amazing... I Love the toy which is purple and colour and green mixed which Eliot bro gave uma ... i love that ...ant the book also ..you both and Uma's together picture clicking is fabulous ...in my state buying a house not so costly but in you areas i don't know which is better for you ...and i don't get this type of childhood memories , playing , enjoying so i saw uma and i feel happy always
I want to see the world through your eyes! I love how you both are so one with nature. Your entire "living outside the box" life philosophy is so beautiful. I can't wait to see the homestead you create in the Appalachian mountains. Love you guys! Safe travels! ❤❤❤
Thank you for caring about our story so deeply. We truly appreciate you! And yes, homestead life is just around the corner. We thiiiiiink we have found the perfect little cottage for us, but more details in the video that's live in little bit. :)
Congratulations Elliott Matthew and Uma on officially becoming the Durt Family 💕 That's so awesome! Thrifting is literally life. Your rant was so spot on. My way of thinking is if we just stopped manufacturing everything and we had to share or repair what is already manufactured we would still have plenty! Love and peace beams to you 3 beautiful humans. Safe travels 💞 So much to look forward to! So grateful for your generous spirits 🌻
Love you, SO MUICH!!! I'm so excited for this next chapter in your lives, your new name, and more thrifting for Elliot!!! (say it with me . . . MORE BOOKS!!!!)
OMG! Thank you for reminding us of this. We won't be in our house until later in October and we probably won't get to start seeing some of the benefits from our homestead until spring. This is the perfect reason to go wild foraging! :)
The most important thing to me about "you create your reality" is not letting other people live your life for you. some people try to impose on us what the ideal life according to them would be, and until we realize that we are living for others and not for ourselves, how much time has passed?
Wishing you beautiful people well, and Uma keeps on growing up into an amazing strong young lady! All credit to her fabulous dads and families, friends who appreciate your life and personalities. Keep being you, wild,and happy!!!!🥰💕X
Safe travels Durt family. 😀 It is always sad to leave family, but sometimes you need an adventure. So cool you found a thrift store thst is a real thrift store. So many in my area have turned into huge enterprises and I feel have lost their purpose. As fir refreshing clothrs..I find sunshine to be a good deodorizer. Thanks for the video.
Sunshine IS such a good deodorizer. Thanks for all your best wishes. We are so excited to begin this next chapter. New video live in just a little bit. :)
Love you all, safe travels & congratulations on the new name!! What you said about repurposing clothes and items, reminds me of how I feel about housing. Every place seems to constantly under construction of new homes/apartments/etc. But there are plenty of amazing existing homes that are straight up fabulous! Sure, move in ready is nice, but older homes are just built better, and have so much character!
Gosh, I can't love this comment enough. We are currently looking for our next house, and we fell in love with one that was built 100 years ago. We can't wait to begin our homestead and to make it our goal to not buy anything new.
A little wear on furniture and drapes in the south is a sign of old money. Lol,, that’s what the older people said years ago. I love the little things I picked up as a child.
Congratulations on changing your last names, I really enjoy all of your videos. I'm not sure where you plan on moving too but get what your looking for with enough land to home stead on. I shop the thrift stores as we and watching utube channels how to go fruit trees from seeds. Right now I seeded 2 nectarines and 4 apricots stone fruit are true to the seeds. Apple trees are not I started a granny smit Apple from a seed now it this spring I planted it in the ground it's going to be a crab Apple good for making jelly.
Hey there, Terry. So we are trying to begin homesteading ASAP. We actually put in an offer for a little cottage this week (more info in today's video that will be live in a bit). It looks like you're doing a lot of the things we want to be doing! Keep sharing!
You’ve grown so much since the beginning. You’re great people. Happy trails my friends, I truly hope you find your perfect homestead. Lots of love and thanks for brightening my day ❤️❤️🌈🌈
Awe, thank you so much, Jamie. You really have been with us since the beginning. It feels so special to have you along as we venture into the next chapter of life. :)
Congratulations on changing your names so you all have the new last name, so exciting. Sadly I've been married 3 times and have changed my name multiple times. Yikes, what a pain in the behind. You now get to look forward to changing your social security cards for all 3 of you and your driver's license and all documents, contracts, credit cards, etc... Sorry now days it takes, time, effort and money to change your name. Good luck on your journey to your new homestead.
That's so interesting. I was wondering if women have to go through all of that when they change their names to be their husbands? That's wild. Yes, we better get all that stuff lined up, huh?
Yay, for the Durt family!!!! So happy for you all! I know that great adventures await your family. Yes, I try to never buy new if I can buy used. I got all our flatware for the camper from a thrift store for $2! And it's not cheap stuff, it's quality flatware. All my serving pieces are from thrift stores and most of them are vintage lead crystal. It's amazing what you can find! Safe travels and good luck on the homestead hunt! Love you all!
This is so awesome to read! Keep showing us your ways. As we move into our cottage and begin homesteading, we want to make it our goal to not buy anything new.
Greetings from Chiapas, México. Greetings Durt family! I love your new name andI love your idea of upcycling and thrifting things. I'm an old queer, Yes a boomer, but I've always thrifted and I always found second hand finds much more interesting. Besides I think society, in general has crapped on the world enough. I'm sure you've seen the docus about fast fashion and how all these bales of clothing end up by the shipload in Africa and Southeast Asia. After picking over the "best cloths" the unwanted, discarded apparel comes to rest in THEIR landfills or worse, the once pristine beaches, rivers et al. Anyhow I just love your philosophy. I so hope you continue. Good luck on your new adventure. With your positive outlook you'll make friends that are your family wherever you go. P. S. From the short glimpse I got from the lace pillow... I believe the under pillow fabric looks to be more of a 50s design. I'm not positive though.
Oh, wow! It's SOOOO nice to meet you, Michael! We definitely appreciate your concern with the dangers of fast fashion. As we begin this next journey of homesteading, we are making it our goal to not buy ANYTHING new, whether that's for our house, our clothes, or any go our farming needs. Wish us luck! I am happy to have you around to help us in this process. Sending you so much love this Sunday! New video live in a little bit!
Just please teach respect. Also nothing worse than kids that feel need to scream all the time and everybody is supposed to think it cute. Its not and the idea-they are expressing themselves, save it for home.
Congrats on the name changes and now you get to deal with social security admin to get new SS cards and the dmv for new licenses. More of a Hassel but once done it's done. Travel safely and make beautiful paths

Keep thrifting? :) A new mental project. I'm on it!!! I'm super pumped about seeing the three of you, and your new home, on the weekly basis. ♥

Lots of foraging opportunities this end of summer and September! Edible thrifts;))

I'm sure you've seen the docus about fast fashion and how all these bales of clothing end up by the shipload in Africa and Southeast Asia. After picking over the "best cloths" the unwanted, discarded apparel comes to rest in THEIR landfills or worse, the once pristine beaches, rivers et al. Anyhow I just love your philosophy. I so hope you continue. Good luck on your new adventure. With your positive outlook you'll make friends that are your family wherever you go. P. S. From the short glimpse I got from the lace pillow... I believe the under pillow fabric looks to be more of a 50s design. I'm not positive though.
Oh, wow! It's SOOOO nice to meet you, Michael! We definitely appreciate your concern with the dangers of fast fashion. As we begin this next journey of homesteading, we are making it our goal to not buy ANYTHING new, whether that's for our house, our clothes, or any go our farming needs. Wish us luck! I am happy to have you around to help us in this process. Sending you so much love this Sunday! New video live in a little bit!
@@thedurtfamily Best wishes to you and your lovely little girl and stay safe!

We are a ways away from Grandma, but I am sure she will be traveling to see her granddaughter. :)
Can you imagine all children raised up like your raising Uma, with knowing nature, love etc, what this world would be like ?
Awe, thank you, Nancy, for believing so much in our mission and our values. We appreciate you!
Just please teach respect. Also nothing worse than kids that feel need to scream all the time and everybody is supposed to think it cute. Its not and the idea-they are expressing themselves, save it for home.

You would be surprised how many people on here go to the "BINS" and resell the items to make a living.
I’ve actually looked up a few of the things I’ve purchase and found that they sell for over a hundred dollars online!
Congrats on the name changes and now you get to deal with social security admin to get new SS cards and the dmv for new licenses. More of a Hassel but once done it's done. Travel safely and make beautiful paths
yes, we've gotta get going on those details now! Wish us luck!
Who's baby is this ???
It’s both of ours. We’re both legally her guardian.
I get the name change, but "Durt"? Might you not regret this in 20 years? Some less in your face, such as "Terra" might ultimately be better.
I don't think we will. We've been using this name for us for over a decade, so not much has changed for us. It's just officially legal now.
How it is possible
You r both man .not girl
Who born this baby .
There's a playlist on our channel that explains how we expanded our family.
