    How much does our homestead cost? Do we have dads?! These are a few of the spicy questions we get on a daily basis, and today we decided to take a much needed change of pace to answer some of these questions. From how we afford updates to the cabin, to whether or not we want to get pregnant/have children, to how we first came out to our parents, these are some of the spiciest questions we get asked. And as if the questions weren't spicy enough, we put ourselves to a little spicy food challenge and ate hot foods while doing it, so we weren't just feeling these questions in our heart and souls, but in our nervous system! Is that where you feel spicy foods? Someone please comment below! A few other questions we cover in this video: where was our first date? Why did we choose a van? And what are some of our favorite TH-cam channels (Hello ‪@ryan‬ if you're seeing this)! Is there anything you've been itching to ask us that we haven't covered? Comment below, maybe we'll use "likes" on comments as a voting system!

    Our Journey! How did we get here?
    In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

    I am a retired Custom Home Builder, and met you while watching Eamon and Beck, and Max and Occy. I have not missed any since then. I have a great deal of respect for both of you. As a retired contractor, I love your work ethic, and the way you tackle projects, and the attitude you take when doing a project. I don't think we ever had any employees with your attitude and ability to figure out and complete a project. Not only that , but your personalities, and love for each other and for the work you are doing on the Cabin, and on the Videos you make (which I love) is truly inspiring . I did not lose my parents at a young age, but lost a younger Sister, and my Wife in a very short period of time years ago, so respect what you have done with your lives after unusual childhoods. I look forward to your videos every week and they never fail to bring e joy. I was surprised to hear that you weren't married, but your love for each other is obvious, and as a non betting man, I would bet on your getting married in the future. I just want to thank you for being a bright spot in my life. Many, Many People your age in the United States, have dropped out of just about everything. Thanks again and continue to do great work.

You do not have to explain yourself to anyone. Your warmth, humor, intellect, courage to try new things, kindness to each other and so generous with sharing the good, the bad and the ugly with all of us is so welcome. I love that you try and fail and do not behave like a rotten spoiled brat because it didn’t work out! What an example of good heartedness you both are. Genuine. That is a awesome description .

However, 21 years ago we had our son and I can tell you it was the most important and fulfilling things we ever did!! This year we celebrate 32 years together and 10 years married and although we had a 22 year engagement, getting married changed things and I’m so glad we did it!!

    Totally relatable. I lost my dad at 10. He was my best friend. We (my family) never talk about it. It's just not something my generation talked about. It was 55 years ago and I still miss him terribly. Keep talking about it. It keeps their memory alive and it's cathartic. As always, thanks for sharing.

    I have always been amazed and enamored by both of you and your incredible personalities, but today's segment brought it home for me. I just lost my dad less than a year ago and my mom 4 years. Your stories of love, adventure, and desire for a life that you two created on your own are amazing. I used to be someone different because of my business and 20+ years in the Marine Recon. Extremely structured and disciplined. Then one day I realized that my life was much more than it became and I realized that I should "Go where you're celebrated, not just needed by everyone else" as it was suggested by a close friend. That life is meant to be a constant adventure in order to grow. I'm proud of my past but more excited about the future.
    Both of you are beautiful, creative, and passionate people who prove on a daily basis that slow and steady doesn't just win the race... it allows you to create it. So in complete transparency from someone you don't know but watches and responds to you every week, your adventures were the catalyst for my decision to buy up acreage outside of Sedona Arizona, build a ranch completely off the grid and be happy and thrive. Best decision I ever made.
    You two are the best. Thank you for your inspiration. Until next week...be blessed. TJ & Loki 🐾

      @Lori L. Mangold Thank you. I'm a communicator, and I think we as humans need to show more gratitude and appreciation. Rather than whining and complaining as most do. And i meant every word i wrote.
      As to Sedona, I feel like I'm in heaven, and I'm sure Loki, my wolf hybrid, feels the same.
      Thank you for your kind words.

      @Lori L. Mangold Thank you 😊
      Loki is the Norse God of mischief,
      and he completely fits his name.
      The property is huge, and to the north, I have great distant views of the Sedona red rocks and snow-capped mountains to the north. I'm building a 3,500 sq/ft home with a separate barn for up to 10 horses. I just put in a well with tons of fresh water, septic system, and personality installed a PV/solar power system about twice the size of what the girls put in. With a degree in system engineering, that was pretty easy for me. Just time consuming and I needed a few extra hands.
      Waking up to the views and clean air makes it still feel like a dream.
      Be blessed. TJ & Loki 🐾

      @@tjmoss2832 Sounds like heaven. Especially once you get your horses. I grew up in Phoenix. My favorite escape the heat trip is hitting Flagstaff, hanging out for a while, then heading down Oak Creak Canyon before the sun goes down, taking in Oak Creek views, heading for dinner, then Oak Creek Brewery, then my hotel room.
      I never tire of this trip. Arizona has so many varying terrains, so finding new mountain bike spots is always a treat.
      Sedona really is a special place, the energy is very rich and unique. To be honest, I am glad property is out of reach for most people, price wise, as it keeps Sedona from growing, which would ruin it.
      Slide Rock has lost it's appeal since going full on touristy spot. Anyway, nice to chat up someone that is fortunate to live there and obviously appreciates all it has to offer.

    This was a lovely gift from you to your subscribers! You asked if it satisfied our curiosity. For me, yes. I’ve been watching you since the channel began. Along the line you have answer many of the questions but today was in much more detail and context. Also, the new ground of cabin life was very interesting and I thank you for those in depth answers.
    Musings:
    I’m happy that you talked about your editor. Most of the great channels I watch have editors. That is not to take away from the creators who do it all themselves. It is more to say that, for you two, having an editor frees you to keep making excellent content.
    Also, this video illustrates the beautiful dynamic, the love and the trust between the two of you. Not so much in words, but the visual representation of those human components.

It’s amazing to me a lot of the stuff that I have learned over the years was showed to me by my father, because he was handy is handy and it’s just blows my mind the stuff that you take on yourselves and have done. And you will become better human beings for it. You already are so even though there are those tough days you always can look at those great days and be super proud of yourselves I know my little slice of paradise isn’t totally off the grid, but I’m making it as close as I can to it and having the 10 acres is just mind blowing to me. It was a major bucket list item for me, and I finally did it on my own so always look at the good and the bad and be proud of yourselves. You’re amazing women much love Mike. 🌹🌹🐾🐾

    I know yall didn't ask, but it looks like your Monstera needs more humidity. This could be what's causing the browning on the edges of the leaves. If you put a tray with some rocks and put a little bit of water in it, then place the Monstera on top. This will provide the additional humidity it needs during winter time.
    Hope you have a wonderful week!

It sometimes isn't easy to open up about things, but it's something that neither of you are not capable of doing. You have amazing moms and families and I'm sure your dads would have been as equally proud of you.
