We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

Я ВАС ОЧЕНЬ ЛЮБЛЮ ВЫ ИДЕАЛЬНАЯ СЕМЬЯ
ЭТО ПРОСТО УГОЛОК СЧАСТЬЯ НА ВСЕЙ ЗЕМЛЕ
А БОРОДУ ТО ПОБРИЛ НЕМНОГО - НАДОЕЛА ДА
Я СМОТРЮ КАЖДЫЙ ВАШ ВЫПУСК И ПРОСТО БАЛДЕЮ
СКОЛЬКО У ВАС ИНСТРУМЕНТОВ - МОЖНО СДЕЛАТЬ ВСЕ ЧТО ЗАХОЧЕШЬ ПЛЮС АРЕНДА ЭКСКАВАТОРА ПОДЪЕМНИКА - ПРОСТО СКАЗКА - МЫ О ТАКОМ ДАЖЕ МЕЧТАТЬ НЕ МОЖЕМ
It is so encouraging to see parents teach their children to be responsible, and to introduce them to greater responsibilities in a timely fashion, rather than to wrap them in bubble wrap. Kudos!
🤣 How times have changed... My parents didn't buy my vehicles. I had to mow lawns and detassle corn whatever odd end jobs cleaning up yards etc. Bought a moped at 14 paid for everything including insurance. Definition of teaching responsibility sounds like most Millennials these days...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@centosx I think you're missing the point. Think about how much further you could have made it if you could have bought a small truck instead of a moped because your parents knew they could trust you to take care of it and went 50/50 with you. Imagine that, after giving you more and more responsibility, they decided that after learning to change the oil, check your tires, knew how important road safety is, and the cost of ownership, you could have expanding your lawn mowing business with a vehicle and a better lawn mower with the help of your parents.
That's how this works. You don't tell your kid to go work an entire summer for something that you already know they can handle, when you can more than afford to find their dreams and responsibilities, so that they can go further than you ever did.
It's about developing a better legacy in your kids, not recreating it.
@@centosx It want simply bought for him. Carter earned that truck by doing the chores on the farm. And it's going to make everyone's life easier on the farm. Win win for the whole family
@@centosx Farmers buy vehicles needed to run the farm and their kids learn to use them. That's what this is.
@@JCrook1028 Bingo!
The greatest book of wisdom of all time says if you raise a child in the way that they should go, when they are old they will not depart from it. You two are going to leave the world with three wonderful kids. Marriage is a partnership, not a fairy tale. However, if you get the partnership right, the fairy tale will follow. You two have figured that out. I so enjoy watching you. My favorite vids of the week.
Well said B.Y.
What a confidence builder for Carter, to be trusted with the responsibility of his own farm vehicle! He’s showing real maturity. Congratulations!
So happy for Carter, I know he’s a big help around the farm. Definitely make it more efficient. The wall is looking great.
Congrats man. Hard work for Mom and Dad pays off!
Your children are so grateful for what they have and what they are given-it's very heart warming to see them respond to new experience!
I was driving at 11 in rural area of the country. 😆 Congratulations Carter
I've wanted one of those for years. Can't believe I'm jealous of a 12 year old. Hug your parents, son! They're good ones!!!
Cool, I loved your son's reaction. I like the truck too. I was driving on my Grandparent's farm at his age and those are memories I shall carry with my for life. P.S. Josh, you look very handsome with your beard trimmed up neatly.
I agree, his beard looks really good.
I agree, Josh looks great with his trimmed beard.
Totally agree! 🧔👍
First thing Carter says... "Make farm chores so much easier".... That kid ais a freaking GEM!! Raised right and turning in to a quality young man!
Love the way you two work together
That's great, well done!!! Your son is at a perfect age to start off road driving. He will be such a confident and skilled driver by the time he gets his road license. Starting out on a manual clutch is wonderful too and the right hand drive is way cool! Excellent job on the stone work, it is really sharp looking (like the trimmed beard 😉). What a great shed your underdeck space has become.
In some states you can have a farm license when you are 13.
I learned how to drive on a manual and I’m eternally grateful. I can drive anything.
Manual gear? No problem at all!
Here comes new helping hands for upcoming projects. 😁
Gosh, this brings back memories! Pawpaw used to throw us the keys at 12-13 and tell us to run down to the barn to get him some tobacco, or down to the local store and get him some. My parent didn’t find out until we were all grown. And it was in Yawkey, so no one around for miles! Great memories. ❤️
As it should be!!!
In my family, all of us began driving at 13 (the last 3 generations).
Some mud/off road tyres and (and maybe a bull bar for moving Leon) plus a water bowser, first aid kit, small tool kit and a radio and Carter will be set👍
Your editing skills have become stellar!!! Both sets of parents have to be so proud of the family you are building! Love the story of your life.
😃 he’s a good kid he deserves it congratulations 🥳
CON GRA TULA TIONS !!!!!! 🙂
My brother was driving a tractor at that age! I’m so excited for your son! Nothing like farm life!
I so love this family! I’d bet this young kid is going to be a hard-working and successful businessman!
We all do
Yes indeed, they have put Carter into position to succeed, and I believe he will show mom and dad what he can and will achieve in his new venture, good luck to you Carter!
He is also a great helper. We have seen that.
Hell yeah! Those mini trucks are the coolest, and it's right hand drive! Carter is going to have one heck of a time in that thing. It's also great how the first thing he thinks of is that it's going to help him with his farm chores. Such a responsible kid. He's gonna be one heck of a catch for some lucky lady in the future.
It so cool what you did for Carter and in helping the parents. Living on farm teaches so much responsibility for all of those that involved. Thank you and have wonderful week. PS Nice to see the cat again. :)
Go Carter, go!!!!!
You so deserve your first vehicle, with your parents as good examples, you will grow to be a fine young man….
Way to go Carter! He’ll be the last man in America 🇺🇸 when he’s an old timer. Nice to see you all raising men! And a Lady.
I drove all the farm trucks, trailers, tractors, all the implements and motorcycles by ten or twelve. All of it, farm life, the work, coordination, schedule, finishing jobs, creativity, imagination are skills that are priceless and I will never outlive them. I can't thank my family enough for that and countless other ethics and skills they taught me. You guys are an amazing family. I salute you as parents/teachers/preparers of generations and your children and their children will appreciate and love you in the deepest sense all of their days. Thank you!
Congratulations Cater. What a Great Gift it will be so useful on the Homestead as you said. Will make chores so much easier. Carter learned to drive it quick also. Really neat that all sides lay down. Really good for loading and unloading. Congratulations on your new ewe lamb. She is cute. Mr. Leon is adorable and yes I agree with Josh. He loves you dearly. Ellie is so cute and growing so fast. Peace from Mineral County WV
we need a longer explanation and description of the Suzuki. where did you find it and what motor and drive train does it have? it's a great fit for your farm
This is really good for a 12-year-old. Learning how to drive a manual at his age on the farm is perfect. This will help him to really learn how to drive and prepare him for when he gets his license.
I drove that same mini truck when I was a hunting guide in Idaho.
I've had a bull elk and 6 hunters in the back! They are awesome little rigs👍
I love that you give your kids a lot of responsibility and also the rewards that come with that responsibility. Too often parents don’t recognize that their kids can handle it…and get to benefit from the many rewards responsibility brings. Self esteem, a work ethic, and yes….even a mini truck sometimes are just some of the benefits. Congrats….the truck is adorable!
Stonework looks great guys. Adds richness to the elevation.
This channel is about building, a home, a family, a LEGACY. I have no connection to you guys, other than the YT subscription, but I'm so proud of you. No intention to be patronising, but just an (slightly) older guy loving your family and what & how you do. Sooo much love visible, great stuff, thanks!
Oh my lord, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the range of emotions cross your faces. Seeing Carters reaction and watching him drive off was magical, loved seeing the absolute pride and excitement you all felt. He's a credit to you, they all are. 💗
Erin’s always happy to let Josh do things his way (as long as it’s exactly how she wanted it done ha ha!) 😊🤣👍
What a great start to this video, the smile on Carters face was amazing
Great family vibes & togetherness x
Ain’t gonna lie! Got choked up when Josh was teaching Carter how to drive manual! Good bond memories with my pops, teaching me how to drive for the first time with manual pick up. 🤙🏼
Congratulations Carter🤙🏼
Ya’ll are awesome! Many blessings, and WOW! The house is coming AMAZINGLY❤️✌🏼
My brothers were plowing fields, and hauling hay in a big farm truck by the time they were 12. I think it’s great.
We had horses as a kid, so I drove our F-150 in the field at 12 pulling a trailer as my father and older sister were putting and stacking hay on it. Great way to learn how to drive.
My son was driving a tractor on the roads at 12. All our boys started driving by 10 alone on the farm.
I remember doing this during the summer at our cousins farm...small bales were a lot for a pre-teen/teen
Hi Guys you can see the pride in Carter's face he is one very happy 12 year old and I wish him the best of luck with his new truck nice video
I love you guys. You're a ray of hope in this challenging world.
So glad to hear your cat is healing up. Thanks for letting us know.
Oh my gosh you guys. God bless. Your entire family interaction with the animals crushes me to pieces. Your children will forever be engrained with life on the homestead. Amazing Josh & Erin what has transpired there. I literally am now at a loss for words. Keep up the amazing work that you all do as a family. There are many times I have shed tears with your videos.
Carter thanking you over and over….shows his gratitude and what an amazing child.
We're enjoying seeing their family being built
All walls start from the bottom, so put in the first course of stone lined up with the bottom edge (will look neater) and continue up from there
congrats Carter. you work hard. you do the job as described by your parents. and the reward is beyond your wildest dreams. seat belt young man. drive slow, beware of your SISTER and BROTHER and the animals. respect your truck, keep it clean and it will serve you a long time. Proud dad moment for sure. Mom is all smiles too.
It may be for farm use only but it is a great gift for a great young man from even greater parents. You could tell how surprised he was. Thanks for sharing.
Quite possibly your best video ever....and y'all have had a bunch of GREAT ones. Carter: "I thought we were coming down here to cleanup" had me smiling because he had no idea and was so appreciative. You packed a lot in this one, Erin. 👏👍
Seeing Carters reaction made me cry. He's such an awesome kid. It's gonna be so good seeing him doing his chores with style now.
Awesome video guys. Its great watching your son deserve the trust you have in him and to do his jobs more efficiently with a farm truck.
Congrats to Carter
On a mini truck
He is becoming a young man
Congratulations to both of you for being his parents , good job.
looks beautiful, great job.
Takes me back to driving my grandad's Farmall Tractor and 1959 Ford F100 (3 on the tree) around the farm as a young teen .
What a well deserved truck for Carter for all the hard he has done, not to be outdone by what all of you have accomplished. 👍
Congrats Carter on your new truck. I’m glad it will make chores much easier for you. Carter is such a responsible preteen. Wow Carter, you deserve it. All you kids are so responsible for their age. Even your little princess who finds the eggs and takes such good care of them. I’m impressed with your entire family. I love your farm. You and your kids rock!
Awesome Carter, up and running now. Now would be a good time to introduce the young heifer and calf to halter training, it would pay to read up on it, but if you do just remember to not leave the halter on when they're unattended. The whole place is looking tremendous, and now a functioning farm. You guys are great, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🐨🙏🤟🇦🇺
I think you are the most wonderful parents and have the most amazing kids love your video
THAT little truck is so kool and perfect for around the farm, great choice.. 😁😁
That young man is not only adorable he works hard and is a great helper!!
A well deserved and needed gift!
He's certainly responsible enough to handle it.
I just love this!!!
Always a wonderful time from Wild Wonderful Off-Grid!!!
I was like, "What a 12 yr old driving a truck?" Then it hit me I was driving a 2-ton tractor at 12....My cousin was 8 years old driving a 6 ft tall Massey... Yeah farm kids are made of different stuff.
What an awesome 🏆 addition to the farm nothing like a mini truck 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
He looks good behind the wheel!!! He is the one of your kids that is really interested in farm/ranching, isn't he?
BRAVO CARTER!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Just got one for light farm use, the low height of the bed helps you load unload unlike anything else. They run forever and have beast frames. Enjoy !
The pure joy of getting your first car is overwhelming, so very happy for your son. Wishing him happy & safe travels in it!
More responsibility creates strong work ethics. God bless your family.
The cutest thing ever .....the whole episode! Carter is so happy, and has been working so hard. The kid(s), the cat, The Leon and you two......so much love! Build was fun too. 😉
Now Carter has himself a truck to go alongside his small business. Hope to see updates on that. So cool! Fan from Cincinnati.
Brilliant video. Happy times and the love and affection in your family is and should be an inspiration to all. Beard looks good Josh...
Keep up the fantastic work on the house and the farm.
That so called screw-up on the door will be a great reminder of how much fun you two had building it together!
Man, this vid had SOOO much comment-worthy material, but I'm just going to say what everyone else is expressing...we viewers love The Meyers, and greatly appreciate your sharing your lives with us.❤👍
Love everything that you guys do. Your skills at building & planning, your work ethic, the calm you both keep when things aren't quite right. Your fabulous kids & the way you speak to them as young people & the respect they give you guys, the love and care of your animals and the overall love you share for each other. It gets my mind off of the troubling issues around and makes me try & look at life in a more positive manner. Can't wait to hear the name of the baby goat!
I HOPE YOU SEE THIS !!! A trick to doing the grout to hold the stone on the wall. Make a circle with a hole in the middle on the back if the rock with the grout. It makes a suction effect and will hold better so you won't have to put so many screws or having rocks hold them at the bottom. Sometimes they are to heavy and need some help but most of the time it will stick no problem. I've done a few walls in my time
Carters true character showed through with his excitement on the mini truck but also allowing his brother and sister to be the first to get in and check it out. Awesome sibling role model you guys raised! Congrats on always moving the farm forward.
Thank you for the Binx update! She looked so blissful in Josh's arms.
You did a great job today with everything. Great parents that you are, yay. Amen.
Wow haven't seem Carter smile that wide since I started watching.
Such a fun time for him and the kids getting that little truck for the farm. Happy for ya Carter your growing up fast and becoming that young man mom & dad need around the farm.
You've proven you can Handle so much of the farm chores and now they've paid you for your hard work.Thats how we all grew up and the way we are suppose to grow up as Americans.
Little Ellie is the cutest little girl on earth.shes juat precious with the farm animals but especially that new baby lamb.
Love the banter between you two.Dont mind me I'm just here for quality control 😅🤣 so funny then I'm glad you agree with cutting the 45 Josh 😅😉
Leon just did not want to let yall close that gate.Cant we just leave it open mom. Haha
I never did figure out what Ellie said near the end on the deck when yall were finishing up the rock on the wall.
You said I will keep that and play it back to you when your 13 i think but I didn't get what Ellie said.
God bless yall 🙏
Such a wonderful life you are building for your family. It is great to watch.
So pleased for Carter. He’s growing up and this will help keep him responsible. So much happiness and love for each other and your animals. Your cat looks like she’s recovering thanks to your attention and care.
Happy to see her recovering. Art least 6 of her nine lives were used on that one.
I have one and I use it every day. A little advice have the timing belt replaced and you will be good for years. I also put on atv tires made a big difference
Leon is a laugh, a real character.
Way cool for Carter. I did some work on a farm in Illinois as a young boy. I can remember that time in my life still today. It inspired us to get a small property in the mountains of western North Carolina to escape too when we can.
The stone wall looks awesome!! Carter was so excited and that is good responsibility training too. The new baby lamb is precious 💕
It's nice to see this active presence of animals close to Elli and her siblings!
Absolutely pulls at the heart strings watching you guy's❤🙏👍✌
That is awesome!!!! Josh you look SO much better nicely trimmed.
Thanks Josh and Erin for a great video. So many things happened here. The stone wall looks great so far, new truck for Carter and he is so impressed with it, your cat recovers nicely, the new lamb and the love you portray in your family. It is by far the best series on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love you guys. ❤
nice that you did that for him but its ashame that the truck is right hand drive now when he gets into a western vehicle its gunna screw him up
@@petefroehling8704 Not really. Where I stay we drive right hand vehicles as a rule but I also drove a left hand truck. It is a matter of adaption.
And Leon ! Don't forget about Leon ! lol
@@elmanualdelgalanotoñal My apology. You are right. Leon is a huge character in this series and he acts very well especially when he closes his eyes when Erin kisses him. 😂
Such a good idea to teach the youngsters to drive at an early age. And to engrain in them a sense of responsibility and self-discipline at an early age. Will stand them in good stead in later life.
That’s an instilled memory a young man will recall to countless dinner-dates and forever after want to emulate for his own family.
Perfection, guys. Perfection. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️💖
Man I remember when my old man gave me a lesson to drive when I was only 10 and man did I nail it ,impressed him somewhat.......😃
So happy your cat made it, because you love her and saved her.
The tru k is great little addition to the farm and will serve it good.
A lovely episode! First truck, first spring birth, plus the usual fabulous atmosphere that your entire family creates, watching you is a lesson in how family life ought to be done.
I know he was happy and the truck will come in handy round the farm
You kids made this old senior cry again tears of love!! Carter, you have been given a Big Reasonability son that most kids your age will never have.
Please be careful and don't let your parents down. Wishing you all the best Carter!!
Happy that the cat is healing. Great job of getting the Isuzu for your son, especially in a standard. Your are doing a great job of raising your children to be independent.
I really loved seeing the cat! I loved seeing Leon! I love the truck for the boys! I love your channel! Hugs
Brilliant. Fascinated by introducing a Right hand drive , stick as the first independent car. Nothing will phase him in the future.Stone face looks amazing and you have to be so proud. We grapple with more snow and nice to see spring in your part of the world.
Best from Laramie.
Great purchase for the farm. I'm sure your son will be happy to put it to work.
Ya gotta love 'em. If the location of the diagonal timber is their biggest problem, they've got it made.
Thanks for update on the kitty. I was really worried for a worse outcome since we hadn't seen her. :)
Elly had a little lamb, little lamb , little lamb,... love you guys , that truck is awesome!
I love how much your whole family love and treat animals. Great job mama and dad
A big pat on the back for you guys. Reminds me of what I experienced growing up as a kid. Didn’t exactly have a farm but we kept three horses and all the chores that goes along with it. There was always some kind of building project going on. Mending fences, pouring concrete, painting the house and sheds and maintaining the pool and mowing the grass. With chores and projects to complete comes responsibility. I cherish all of it as I look back and see it carries on in my grandchildren. My parents like you guys are a blessing.
