"The place I am looking for is more of a feeling than a destination." - beautiful words and you are so right! I was looking for a property for a long time, and just recently bought a place to build an offgrid homestead, and it was all just following the feeling! Best decision ever! Looking forward to following your journey! You have a new subscriber from Croatia 💛
@@OutdoorLifeOnTheRock I am sure you will find a great place! Just don't be like me and overthink it too much, or you will spend years searching for that "perfect" spot. And mine still isn't perfect, far from it, it was really a big risk for me, but before buying I spent a few nights there, and the feeling in the morning, ouuuu I just felt it was worth the risk and signed the contract soon after :) I am now a few months in, not living there full time(yet), but I am still very excited every time I go there. Sending you some positive thoughts and l a bit of courage to take the leap ;)
I just discovered your channel today and came away inspired by you--thank you, I needed this! I have so much admiration for what you have done up to this point for you and your beautiful young family, and I know you will live your dream. I am much older, now 63, but have this dream of wanting to live somewhere like Newfoundland, but since I am in the USA, I am thinking way up in NW Montana where there is still some affordable land right up by the Canadian border. I am so over big-city living and like so many, I am on the wheel of working my tail off to pay the overhead, and not only is it not very personally or professionally rewarding (except for helping my very nice clientele who I am blessed to work for), it is exhausting. So, I have to get the courage up to just move, hopefully make a living working my business remotely and get back to a simple life and 4 seasons. People like you remind me it can in fact be done!
Awe thank you so much ❤️ I’ve never been to Montana but I think that would probably be a great place for a similar life to get away from it all. Don’t give up on those dreams, someday could be today !
@@OutdoorLifeOnTheRock 👍🏻 I am lucks to live in a beautiful part of the world with many great things to see. Eventhough some of these things are a long trip from each other. My husband and I spent 2 years on the road travelling around our country and if it wasn’t for missing my children and grandchildren I would still be on the road doing it. It’s a great life.
Very much looking forward to further episodes and your adventuresI'm Pam from Coventry, UKWill need to get my atlas out to pinpoint exactly where you are🌎
Hi, love your journey thus far. I'm from Central Newfoundland originally. If I were setting up a homestead in Newfoundland I would look to Central Newfoundland because there are huge peat bogs which are excellent ground for root vegetables, and with very little fog, greenhouses would be an ideal way of growing things as well. However I think the choices ground would be the West Coast in the Codroy Valley. The ground is so fertile over there, it is unbelievable!
Thank you, this is excellent advice! I was thinking the same thing, I see a lot more farms and homesteads in those parts. We will be looking at places central for sure, maybe West coast even. I agree, for growing this would be much smarter. We need to figure out if we can make our jobs work with moving father away though.
Everytime I watch a TH-cam on Newfoundland I think.....I for sure am a rural Newfoundlander....even though I've never been there. Living in stuffy SW Ontario. I'm not young tho.... I'm 68. 'someday..................' ? ♥️🇨🇦
You can always make the change! I’d never been to Newfoundland before I moved here, best decision I’ve ever made 🥰. Don’t wait too long for that someday.
Very profound words, looks like this is going to be an interesting series....I'm coming along for the ride as well....hope you find what your looking for. Newly subscribed.
I am almost in the same boat as you are, except I am a country girl that moved to the city for work only to want to leave the city and return to the country. I already have some locations picked out, so just need to save up the money to purchase the 10 acres of woodland in the location that I pick.
Great video. If you plan to live of grid you need to think about hunting. Me and Andrea could help you with that part. We have a cabin where we hunt and fish and we could introduce you and you family in to it. If not, we wish you and you family just the best. Pat
The only problem with “Someday” is the best property wont wait for you. Someone else will grab your someday for their TODAY. We also waited for the someday..but then we were retired before we found it. Now we have our little slice of land we are getting too old to enjoy it. Dont wait.. live your best life now.
@@OutdoorLifeOnTheRock I guess I wonder how you narrowed down to Newfoundland aside from the beauty which I've heard reminds some of Mt Sur in California. The beauty part I totally get but there are many pieces to a move.

Hello from northern Wisconsin! This has always been our mentality... why someday when we're not even guaranteed tomorrow? ♥️ Beautiful place.
Thank you 😊 ❤️

@@OutdoorLifeOnTheRock Yw!

I already have some locations picked out, so just need to save up the money to purchase the 10 acres of woodland in the location that I pick.
Amazing, we’re looking more so towards some larger lots now!
I’m thinking we need at least ten acres as well, good luck with getting yours ❤️
Great video.

Me and Andrea could help you with that part. We have a cabin where we hunt and fish and we could introduce you and you family in to it.

Thank you, yes this is definitely something we’ve already talked about. We would love your help and experience with that in the future 😀
Great video. That beach and the surrounding coast is one of the nicest places on the Avalon.
Follow your dreams
👍👍
Thank you! 😊 It really is!

Yes exactly! We’re not waiting, luckily there’s a lot here available in Newfoundland, hopefully we find it soon 🤞
hello from Colorado good luck finding a cabin in the trees how about Nova Scotia or out west or maybe Nebraska
Thank you 😊
We love Newfoundland and want to stay, but yes those sound like great options as well!
Are you originally from Newfoundland or a transplant from another province?
Myself and Finley were born in Ontario, Jared and Logan are Newfoundlanders.

If you think music is more important than listening to you, I can turn you off.
Thank you, you’re right, I just rewatched it. The music is far too loud compared to my voice. I’ll try to fix this for the next ones!
