He's the John Wick of homesteading. "... is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will. "
Something a lot of us know nothing about unfortunately lol
He'll become the real john wick if something happens to minion
@@otaku_dexx7347noooo....😢
Don't think about that.☹️
Those whom practice wickedness will not be delivered by it. Please advise paradise trouble short
and he seems to have fun too while doing it.
Watching your posts, while I love the life you're building, I know that I'm too old and too lazy. Your posts let me live vicariously through you. 😁
When I was a junior in high school my family bought 50 acres and we lived in a Army squad tent for 4 years while cutting down trees to season for the house then cutting up lumber on a chainsaw mill and building our own home. We had cows, goats, pigs, chickens grew our own food and canned it all up on a wood cook stove my family still lives on the homestead and it’s been one of the greatest blessing to have such a wonderful way of life. Always hard work but it’s ours.
❤🙏
You seem so young to have your life so figured out. It's not my place but I'm proud❤
Nate would definitely tell you he doesn't have it all figured out. He would say hes learning as he goes and has some good skills that make his lifestyle easier
One thing I learned from hind sight is to build my storage/barns/shops way bigger than my first idea.
I now have 3 small buildings instead of one big one.
Trying to remember what item is in what building is a pain LOL Its usually a financial barrier but in a perfect world that would be my choice
I sure hope that Minion doesn't get jealous of the livestock puppy. He'll always be the king in my book!
I can't imagine you not having a project. You'll be pleased with the benefits of your current projects, once finished, but I expect you'll always find something to improve and something more to build.
I love how I stumbled across you and your vids because of your cat and putting him into a bucket and now I’m hooked watching everything!!
Me too! ❤️
Willpower and discipline. Rare attributes in todays society.
Working hard on your own stuff is still better than working crazy hard for someone else. More rewarding
So don't hinder others from life liberty and the pursuit of happiness by hindering your own family. Please and thank you, for minding your own business, you won't be minding mine.

Stumbling your own brother does not make anyone a high priest, no one will be saved by the works of the law😅
I really appreciate you showing youtube attention as well and answering our comments most people just upload their tiktoks and call it a day
I love your explanations, although you don’t have to explain yourself to ppl, you help us understand. I Love minion and the kitties and ducks and watching your homestead grow! Keep up the good work 😁
You are.. a good example of a good example. In many ways, for many people. We admire that , about’you’💜
Thank you for explaining everything you do. I’ve been wanting to start a homestead once I have the money saved up to do it.
That's some righteous wisdom for living a happy life 😊❤
Living a dream.....Good for you. Better to be building your dream than someone else's.
Just do what your doing Nate, no rush it's your life and you are in control of what you do and when
I enjoy that you seem to be enjoying the journey. After all, this is the only moment we are certain of!
I believe that he's actually a very busy man. He's taken on huge challenges. I don't think he's just coasting along.
It's going to beautiful. It is already awesome. I'm rooting for you.
So good to be active in decent health and have a purpose.
Like me, you're Blessed.
Can’t wait for the puppy and to watch it grow.
My recurring depression and audhd would not let me do this but I am mighty freaking impressed you're able to and also do it so well!
Why is guy so incredibly interesting? He’s got a great voice, loves ducks like me, and Minion’s a hoot! I like this guy.
I'm 4 years into the same thing brother. The To-do list is never ending, and if I don't know how to do something that needs done, my "entertainment" "down"-time gets spent researching and learning w/e it is that's approaching.
The only relaxation I get is from the depth of my sleep from exhaustion and besides property tax I'm beholden to no one. Everything I've built is a temporary structure, so no permitting necessary.
I started on an unused portion on my family's land . All thick woods. Its slow but its going.
So a buddy of mine got out of the military and moved to Idaho with his wife. He grew up being a farmer/farm hand before he joined at 18. He was a mechanic and his wife was an electrical engineer. His BIL is a software/robotics engineer. Well they now own 300ish acres of land and multiple kinds of livestock and grow a large amount of their own food in greenhouses on an aquaponics setup with 3 different kinds of eating fish. They have automated 90% of their daily lives in multiple ways. It’s very impressive but it took them 4 years of intense work and trial and error to do it.
Can't wait to see how wonderful your homestead will turn out in the near future, your work is inspiring Nate. Keep up the good work 👍
Been there, done that, and wore out the T shirt. Now, I’m happily ensconced on a half acre in a much smaller house and only one old dog. I play a lot of golf,and look at my pretty flowers.🙂
Your priorities may change a bit once Jen has moved there. Every day is always filled with routine tasks and such but as you start on the house, it will definitely change your process for a while.
It's unlikely you'll need encouragement since you're so motivated and dedicated to doing all the things on your homestead. But if you ever get distracted, you can just announce what you're trying to do and this crowd will cheer you on! We all love what you're doing and enjoy all the updates!😘
You have all those plans in your head and we love seeing projects as they unfold! We know you're not a slacker but sometimes priorities change. But in the end, everything will be completed!☺️
Well a farmer once told me donkeys are good livestock guardian animals and they are low maintenance if you are doing cattle
all the power to ya friend. sounds fantastic! good thing you got Minnion to keep you in line!?!
There's always firewood to cut! And we got 2 stears last year the fence is the most difficult part but it is definitely worth it
That’s what we’re all here for Nate…. and minion. Can’t wait until all that stuff happens.
That loop was clean af
Gold Shaw farms I believe can help you with a livestock guardian dog that is good with birds... especially ducks.
Love your videos! I'm proud of you too.❤😊
You are the my inspiration to keep pushing to I ca get to he point your at, you cool af your plans cool af and I'm gunna kee watching
I think you have a wonderful Vision😊
I'm sure that adding some cattle would make the place smell great.😂
Willpower, discipline, and a tendency to not mind dirt being everywhere I imagine 🤣
Car port works a a animal shelter especially for caves
Good luck! Good luck! Good luck! Anyone with brains knows that luck doesn't create homesteads, build buildings, raise healthy livestock, build efficient infrastructure ie: water and , Plumbing but, it looks like you've got that other stuff covered so, I'm wishing you good luck hoping that you get all of your future projects done with some ease and are able to enjoy every step along the way.
You make living off grid and starting from nothing look easy! I think that might be why so many people like your Channel. We get to enjoy all the fruits of your labour without the back-breaking hard work and organization! Oh yeah, and we get to see your ❤loyal and very handsome sidekick❤ you're the best minion❤!
Thanks again!
It's inspiring to watch you grow your dream over time. I've had to scale down my dreams lately but I will be back at them up again as my health improves.
So excited to see all of it unfold definitely inspired my 10 year farm plan ❤! You an Jen are my favorite can’t wait to see y’all living it up on the homestead 😊
You have done such a great job of training minion! I am sure any livestock guardian dog would be such a great addition to the homestead. They would also have the very best quality of life with you, on that gorgeous property!
Can’t wait to see what breed you choose, and training updates.
Godspeed my friend.
Off grid living... I bought a catamaran sailing yacht, I even make my own drinking water from the ocean
You have a very healthy back - it all requires a lot of lifting, carrying stuff, and moving heavy things.
My granny used to have a homestead.
It always require a lot of work.
I like that you are moving towards your goal.
It's inspiring to see that 👍
Those car ports make nice buildings and animal pens if you frame them in with wood .
Have you heard of a gaurd donkey? It might be worth a thought
Super cool thing to do. That said, my executive dysfunction could never lol! More power to you! Keep sharing your story and inspiring people to do the hard thing in their own lives!
got this recommended 9 months after it was posted and it’s amazing what you’ve accomplished in less than a year. can’t wait to see how the homestead looks in 5 years time :)
I want to add to this: if you are autistic or have ADHD or some other neurodivergence that's got you thinking you're "lazy" or just don't have any willpower, don't assume you wouldn't be able to do this! I've struggled to hold down jobs my whole adult life but getting to work on my terms has taught me I'm not actually lazy at all.
What about a guard goose, they are scary. I'd also love to live like you, it seems so nice and I love all animals😂
Keep up the good work brother
Completely understood!
Started on raw land bout 6 yrs ago.
It’s definitely a process!
Same here, just a little furthur along in process...GREAT CONTENT!
You're doing well on the subscriptions so that should help
Big dreams. The best ones I have. My back is hurting just thinking of what you have ahead of yourself
Since you have small animals (chicken and ducks) I recommend you get a blue nose Pit rather than a Sheppard breed cause the Sheppards are bread to kill the smaller ones and itd be harder to train them not to eat them. NOTE: It IS possible to train them to ingore their instincts but it'd be a little torturous for them since everytime they see the ducks they would feel the urge to eat in every fiber of their being. Pits aren't meant for hunting they were bread to guard kings chambers and castles. So long as you get a pup or an already well train pit. Keep in mind that Pits are naturally curious and energetic ESPECIALLY as a puppy but a lot of treats and patience and you couldnt ask for a better livestock guard dog. I actually have a pit as a guard dog over my bunny farm. She and tge bunnies are really good friends and one black one especially has a special relationship with my pit that the bunny will put her head in the pits mouth when my pit yawns and my pit plays with the bunny and is VERY careful not to hurt her small yet fluffy friend
We pray we all will be able to follow you till all your dreams come true 😊
You got this Nate!
You have amazing will power and discipline!💕👏👍💯
U should keep or relocate the car port for extra storage / shade area
You sir, are a model for all us that we would be well served to imitate
My dad moved out to the backwoods (and fields) with us about 50 years ago... and he is still out there in the house he built himself, despite being in his 80's. 40 miles from the nearest town, ten of that dirt roads. He is another owner of an epic beard.
I would show him your videos, but he is mostly blind, and only barely connected to the world (in order to have a working phone for emergencies - we had to use CB radios for that when I was growing up). He is one of the last Hippy-homesteaders left in the area out there.
Patients & persistence, love your work Nate 😏👍❤ 🇦🇺
Actually getting up early in the morning and not sleeping the day away is the key to successful homesteading.
😁
You're doing freakin' awesome, Nate. It's been amazing seeing the homestead grow and evolve, and you and your business, (as well as the lil' critters of course), along with it :]
I'm also sorry that your motivation dwindles from time to time and that you get goofy, mean-spirited comments. You're doing great work for yourself and it's good to see you don't let that get to you.
My sister and I are moving up north sometime in the next few yrs to start our own off grid life.
It's not gonna be easy but it WILL BE ALL WORTH IT.
Its gonna take us yrs to get where we wanna be but that's all part of the fun. Lol
Your voice is perfect for voice over work.
You're smashing it dude, Love the content, love your vibe, love your general demeanour, Hunter S. Thompson would love your shit...
I would love to homestead, just not on empty land! My grandparents own a farm that is mostly run by a neighbor, but he's planning on retiring soon. Some day the farm will go to my parents, who I know won't wake to live there. For now my partner and I help my grandfather out when we can as he transitions from growing crops to selling flowers, since he doesn't have the equipment to plant large fields with himself
I can’t believe anyone could even imagine that homesteading is relaxing!! It may be lead to a simpler life; but, by no means, does that mean that you get to relax all day.
hey Nate, don't forget about Lovely Jen !
In other words just like the people who settled America,
Nate you are a Pilgrim version 2023. 💪🤠😎👨🌾😀😀😀😀
Thank you for imparting your knowledge and wisdom. I’m about to buy my first house early next year. I’m moving back to the Mount Lofty Ranges where I grew up. My automatic lawnmower will be a couple goats and I’m looking into training puppies to be PTSD service dogs for veterans. I also have CPTSD and am really looking forward to moving further away from the city and crowds. Thanks for the tip on oversized outlet covers.
Good thing about live stock Guardian dogs is that once you have one well trained one. They will help teach the new ones and it gets easier.
Hey, at least you got to start with an empty field. We started with woods so thick the bulldozer got lost!
Thank you for sharing. Feeling inspired 💪🏼
Much respect, I wish I could do this myself where I live but it's a commonwealth
Dude i love your videos I can’t wait until I can make my own home stead
Ooh he could get the highland cows! The cows will be majestic and match his beard perfectly
I need to work on some long term goals. I don't even know what's getting me up in the mornings anymore.
Llama and donkeys are natural livestock guardians 🐴🦙🤩
Build a sick ass outdoor man cave area with a fire pit, grill, and bar n all.
You forgot the other magic ingredients - Jen & Minion! ❤ from across the pond x
I can’t wait for the puppy and the training ❤
Need me some of that discipline right now, tbh. I have issues maintaining it for long periods of time. I'm very stubborn and tough but that won't keep me alive when I need to be working every day to build shelter and grow food.
Depends on what breed of live stock guardian dog you get for the level of training you’ll need ,if you get a couple great pyrenees you shouldn’t have to much. Now if you get a Kangal that’s another story. I’d look into Spanish mastiffs
If it were me I’d look at it like it’s minecraft irl 😂
well done brother, keep driving !
Simple =/= easy
Complicated =/= hard
Living a simple life can be hard. You know what to expect and what to do (mostly), but doing it still takes hard work and effort. And if it's the life you want, it's well worth it.
Nice shades, Nate. I have a pair of them in my car. :)
It will be nice for Minion to have another pup to boss about Also, while he's big in heart he's small in stature and I would be happy to have a large pup to keep away the possible predators of ducks, cats, and possibly Minions.
Yea, it's a grind at times. The idea of moving to a city or even a small town is more painful than the worst discomfort I suffer here. I get to see the mule deer and my dogs don't chase them away. Mr. Beau Jangles doesn't like the bears though.
My cats let me know if there is anything concerning close by.
It's not for everyone but I can't imagine anything I would like better.
I want this life
Good job man you deserve all of it. Keep persevering and ignore all the dipshits, you gotta lot of love on your channel.
You Nate and Minion are my inspirations 2 cool dudes just living free. O and Kitchen Duck i love how they’re coming along.
If i tried that i probably couldn’t make it now. Imma gonna keep watching and supporting you guys and maybe one day ill build up enough courage and confidence to try something different like that.
How would you even start finding land you can do that on? I'm assuming a simple Google search lol. Idk, but that looks interesting. I just know my wife won't ever wanna do it unfortunately 😅
Will the guard dog make minion jealous?
Thanks to the sheeple....Nate will live comfortably
