Priceless. I’m embarking on a 5 acre remote project involving rehabbing a 12x12 log cabin. It would have been so easy 20 years ago, but now at 63 with some health issues it is way more a challenge. Pray for me, lol.
Rooting & praying for you !!! My husband and I just bought 11 acres totally off grid with a 366 ft log cabin. Hasn't been taken care of in years we have so much to do......day by day, doing what we can afford and have time for. We hope to retire here in woods ❤
Thank you Brooke for giving smaller channels a chance to be recognized!!! Jay and Jen at Off Grid with Jay and Jen are good people !!! Also, I am enjoying watching your son’s videos. He is so young. He is a fine young man!!!
Beautiful, just beautiful. But you know what really impressed me? The way Jen looked at Jay. She is absolutely head over heels in love with her guy and that is a beautiful thing to see.
Such a Fun and Exciting Day for Us Brooke....Thank you, SO MUCH, for coming over and Checking out our Cabin. It was a Dream come True having you here. You have brought us Much Joy, Motivation, and Happiness over the years watching your videos.....We Appreciate everything you do on TH-cam for so many people.....A BIG WOOT WOOT to you for that =)
Jay and Jen! WOW! What a beautiful home you have! You both are so talented! Thank You for sharing your off grid adventure with us! ❤ I will be checking out your channel tonight! 👍😊 🐕 🐕
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you both! There's so much honesty and inspiration here. I'm sure this will inspire many people to get started on their own project! 👏
Wow! 60k for paradise. Awesome land and views, beautiful cabin, handsome, smart couple living the life. hard work and frugality. Very inspiring couple!! Thank you, B!
What a great cabin with beautiful views. Well done Jay and Jen . Thanks Brooke and Dave for introducing them to us all. Happy Christmas to all of you from UK xx
Hiya *our Brooke* . . wanted to leave a big happpppy holidays -- continued BEST of everything - congrats on all your continued success annnd so much more. May 2024 be FAB just like you & yours. Hugz from the shoreline of the Salish Sea..esp. to the bestest ever doggos. @@therealgirlinthewoods
I’ve been watching Jay and Jen for years! Love them ❤ and especially love that you featured them and all the hard work they have put into their homestead. I love when the You Tube community supports each other by sharing collaborations like this one. Thank you for giving them the spotlight they deserve 😊
I'm 50 and building my cabin now. I couldn't imagine waiting another 15 years to be retired. No way I could do the same amount of physical work as now.
I've enjoyed watching this couple recount how this all came to be. They are so open about how they watched many videos and started small. Not fancy just practical, cozy and so doable. 'No number two's inside' Great system! ❤🎉
Local building codes and permit fees can crush a dream. That was my first lesson in home ownership. It's a tough lesson. I ended up selling at a slight loss and moving on.
I built an off grid cabin. Its no where near as awesome as your accomplishments. I did it with no power tools, no vehicle, no money (zero dollars) and by myself. I had a lot of people ridicule, doubt, steal and try to hinder my hard work but I stayed persistent and worked very hard. I look up to you and others to combine your wisdoms with my own. Thank you for giving me wisdoms that you don't even know you gave. Natural springs and power inverters are a blessing.
They did a great job. I am impressed that they had no experience and created a cozy home, shed, and outhouse. It looks like they are remote and living their best life. Funny, I like the bathroom and outhouse the best.
Brooke, This was a great tour of another wonderful off grid build. Your little Moose especially loves to visit like-minded folks and their fun loving off-grid pets. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Even inside watching we all step outside and get happy memories with Jan and Jen.🐈⬛
Brooke you are inspiring, so hard working. Just a beautiful person, teaching people how to build things and constantly giving of your knowledge. Hugs to you Brooke you are a jewel.
Jen and Jay your house 🏡 is fabulous and homey and comfortable remember nothing in life is perfect you did a fabulous Job peace and plenty of Love 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Great video! My husband and I are on our 3rd winter in Southwest GA. We started with 3 acres raw land, we have 6 acres now and a cabin (190 square feet) and have been slowly building our 400 square foot "tiny house". We are so close to running power to the tiny house. Outdoor shower..... Yes we shower outdoors and even my kitchen is outdoor but we own it ALL. Our truck is our workhorse too, we take good care of it! Our goal is to have an indoor kitchen before next winter. Our woodstove is our best friend and we are about to build our "outhouse" from Brookes outhouse video, we are modifying it just a tad, we do have a septic system so we are plumbing a toilet, just going to bucket fill the tank for now. ❤ You two are inspiring!!!!! The place is beautiful.
Love your channel. I've watched you and your husband build all your cabins. It's so cool that Jay and Jenn watched your channel and were inspired by you. I watched Jay and Jen build from the ground up. It is also really cool that you interviewed them and toured their property. I know that this is a day that they will treasure always. I am so touched by this. All of you are real. Down to earth people. Bless you for this and also for all that your future brings.
Beautiful! Congrats to Jay and Jen for staying motivated and focused on completing their dream! I'm sure they have motivated and inspired many now, including me 😊 Thanks for sharing!
My dream! Lots of regrets, my first marriage was to a house builder who REFUSED to build me a house... by the time I divorced him with no money it was all out of reach. Today we would love to try this, but I'm 64..... I still do furniture refurb, but no building anything large... praying we can do this some day!
My husband would buy boat trailers and build pirate ships for parade floats and events. But never built anything for us. God forbid he try to build us a house.
Brooke and Dave: THANK YOU for another great video! Jay and Jen have an absolutely beautiful home and property! I will definitely check out their channel! I have had so much fun watching how folks like you all live off grid! NICE! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy!
it was nice of you to visit J&J.. they are a kind couple living and doing the things they wanna do with their lives... on just 1 porperty. Thankyou for your point of view. :)
They are awesome! The algorithm recommended me their channel a few months ago & I’m glad it did! Love their content. Michiganders know how to do it! 😎 Awesome vid, Brooke. I love that you did this!
This couple is so precious and their cabin is so beautiful! ❤ Just as beautiful as those in fancy magazines for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thank you for showcasing them, I'm glad they have a channel, it will be nice "visiting" them as I do you guys. Stay safe and GOD bless
I love the idea of no neighbors!!! Heck, I love it regardless! Very cozy cabin, and beautiful surroundings!! I’ll be subscribing to their channel, too!! ✌🏼💚
Hey, Jay and Jen! I didn't win your price is right, but it's all good. Lol. You two did an awesome job building your slice of heaven. Everyone take care, God Bless and Merry Christmas! ❤
YAY! More people living off-grid! Thanks Brooke & Dave for the introductions. I'll check out more of their videis now. Great cabin and what a lot of work they've done. Kudos to you all and have a wonderful Christmas From Linda in the mountains in New Zealand ❤❤❤❤
Hi again BROOKE What a great couple with the best common sense work ethic and commitment to their dream. They have ended up with a wonderful off grid cabin in the woods! Thx as always for sharing. Catcha next time.
Oh my just looked at that view and property the cabin is so epic id not want to leave . love love the interior and the steps to the loft I love the steps that go up like that .love the open concept and high ceiling's , this place is so very well thought out and layed out. love the cute bathroom one dosnt need a big washroom, The bedroom great size, Wonderful work folks , Yes I shall follow you, thanks Brook for taking us to see this cabin. Ontario canada.
The peace of mind and tranquility from living such a good, simple life is evident. Knowing you, and your family will be able to thrive regardless of what else is going on in the world is beyond wonderful.
Beautiful. Makes me want to live off grid even more. My dream retirement is to buy homes that need to be renovated to sell. When I make enough to build off-grid, that will become my next retirement project.
Brooke so glad to see you doing these video's of other off-grid families..... Nice to see you and Dave in the same video it is always such a pleasure. Went over to Jay and Jen's site and look forward to seeing some more of there video's. Happy Winter to you and your family. Ask Dave if he would do some video's working with your son. I would like to see more of them being that Dave is such a good teacher.
Loved this video , what a beautiful cabin , we just finished a 16x24 off grid cabin ourselves , it took us 7months just the two of us with no help from anyone or outside sources, its a good feeling, thanks for this 😊
Everyone should be allowed to do this... it is a crime that in many semi rural counties they have so many rules and codes it almost forces everyone to build or buys something so big it is hard to afford. So glad you uploaded this Brooke, you're the best!
I did the same thing almost 40 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did!
Still enjoying it at 68 years old!!
How awesome ❣️ I wish I had 😕
Awesome, I wish I had the discipline 20-30 years ago to do what I’m doing now at 63, restoring a 12x12 log cabin on 5 acres in northern Wisconsin.
So did i, log home wood stove, barn, and I'm 68 also.
Priceless. I’m embarking on a 5 acre remote project involving rehabbing a 12x12 log cabin. It would have been so easy 20 years ago, but now at 63 with some health issues it is way more a challenge. Pray for me, lol.
🙏🙏❤ Best of Luck to you as you begin your adventure!! Take it slow and easy! 👍
😇🙏 prayers,wishing you good health to enjoy the fruits of your labor. God Bless
Godspeed
Rooting & praying for you !!! My husband and I just bought 11 acres totally off grid with a 366 ft log cabin. Hasn't been taken care of in years we have so much to do......day by day, doing what we can afford and have time for. We hope to retire here in woods ❤

I love when the You Tube community supports each other by sharing collaborations like this one. Thank you for giving them the spotlight they deserve 😊
That is awesome! Cute couple with cute dogs and I LOVE their cabin and simple lifestyle. And you gotta love no mortgage.
I'm 50 and building my cabin now. I couldn't imagine waiting another 15 years to be retired. No way I could do the same amount of physical work as now.
Good work Starting Robert.....we feel the Same way
How wonderful that you are doing it now.
I've enjoyed watching this couple recount how this all came to be. They are so open about how they watched many videos and started small. Not fancy just practical, cozy and so doable. 'No number two's inside' Great system! ❤🎉
"If you wait for it to be perfect it will never happen." Great words to live by.
Local building codes and permit fees can crush a dream. That was my first lesson in home ownership. It's a tough lesson. I ended up selling at a slight loss and moving on.
We love Jay and Jen. Been watching them since they started. I love you guys interviewing everyone building their off ride properties.
What really got me was The American Flag 🇺🇸 Flying high and proud, Thank you 🙏..
Jay and Jen have been one of my favorites to follow the last couple of years.
Love you Jay and Jen. So happy you are being featured on this channel. You deserve the recognition!!!
I built an off grid cabin.
Its no where near as awesome as your accomplishments. I did it with no power tools, no vehicle, no money (zero dollars) and by myself. I had a lot of people ridicule, doubt, steal and try to hinder my hard work but I stayed persistent and worked very hard.

Great video. All too often people are afraid to pursue a dream and spend the rest of their life regretting it. Way to go Jay and Jen.
They did a great job. I am impressed that they had no experience and created a cozy home, shed, and outhouse. It looks like they are remote and living their best life. Funny, I like the bathroom and outhouse the best.
Did it 30 years ago in WEST VIRGINIA and still living in it . Raised my daughter single parent she is 31 . My profile pic is the garage.
Jen never stops smiling!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate these kinds of videos you and your husband create. Its been a lifelong dream and I am almost there.
Brooke, This was a great tour of another wonderful off grid build. Your little Moose especially loves to visit like-minded folks and their fun loving off-grid pets. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Even inside watching we all step outside and get happy memories with Jan and Jen.🐈⬛
I have been enjoying Jay and Jen for the past few years, they are wonderful. I hope they will become more successful due to this.
We love Jason and Jenny. ❤ And I'd lose my mind if Bush radical and Girl in the woods came to my place. 🥰💚 Love this video.
lol
Learning as you go and debt free…excellent!!! Beautiful view!
Those doggies are in doggie heaven living there!! Great job guys!!
Brooke you are inspiring, so hard working. Just a beautiful person, teaching people how to build things and constantly giving of your knowledge. Hugs to you Brooke you are a jewel.
Jen, ya got any sisters? Jay already got the gold mine! Well Done!
Jen and Jay your house 🏡 is fabulous and homey and comfortable remember nothing in life is perfect you did a fabulous Job peace and plenty of Love 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I am so happy you and Dave interview my guys they always talking about you and Dave may God bless the four of you guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💙
Love watching Jay & Jen and anyone from Michigan. I miss Michigan but heart surgery had me moving to Arizona. ❤❤
Dreaming is nice. Doing it is better. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing the cost info. May Yahuah bless this homestead.
‘Just do it. Don’t wait until you retire.’ I like that.
Great video! My husband and I are on our 3rd winter in Southwest GA.

My fridge was $300 too, and we love our Berkey.

This is crazy I just recently found their channel and subscribed to them. The only thing that’s missing is a cat 🐱
Love watching these folks as i do you and Dave.

What a wonderful place! Looks comfy and cozy! You learn as you go.. and as they said everything is perfectly imperfect! Amen! Fantastic job! 🌟✨️🌟
We are both disabled your age and living a homestead lifestyle in our 5th wheeler. You can do it! Wishing you the best of luck and much success!
Beautiful homestead.🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
That's how I have done most things in my life. I have taught myself everything I wanted to know how to do.
Love the way they did the siding with live edges. But wow... built with $60K ? Phenominal. Love the two rolls of paper philosophy. 🤣
Very cool... slow and steady pays off!
A lovely restful place and home. They did well.
Great to see all groups of ppl from 3 of the channels I always watch there eh! Thanks for sharing

Beautiful place, such great scenery.
Thanks for showing their place I found them a few months ago see several of you guys videos
Such a delightful couple! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Very nice i love it. In place of the 12V system i would use it in 24 Volt. More efficient and the batteries are working too.
What a neat couple - their dogs too! Good frugal living, hard working couple making a decent life for themselves.
You two are sooo cute. T.Y. for sharing ur home & experience
Beautiful cabin! Congratulations
Their place is so cool & beautiful😘

Hello Lauried, Happy New Year !😊🎇 Can I ask you a question?
Your home is beautiful
Everyone should be allowed to do this... it is a crime that in many semi rural counties they have so many rules and codes it almost forces everyone to build or buys something so big it is hard to afford. So glad you uploaded this Brooke, you're the best!
