About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

Luv, luv, luv your new opening with esthetics like serene drone shots combined with intriguing music. And then integrating those throughout. REALLY adds to the flavor!

The aerial footage really makes the videos pop... Really cool to see the lay of the land, especially in the deep snow. Thanks for the content Doug and Stacy

[jalleman]

I really like your comment on closing the loop on the homestead.The old saying ashes to ashes, dust to dust has much more strength than most think.Great video guys

Hi guys, I actually use my wood ash in my coop, goat pens and rabbit shed to help the smells stay down, it works like lime but better (this is then covered with shavings, straw etc and it's of course cooled) and then when I clean the pens it's all incorporated into the muckings which I compost. Some of it I compost right on the beds themselves and as we head into mid to late February I'll start putting it into my compost bins for mid summer applications. Glad to see more videos! Looks like we are actually going to be hit with our first big snow of the season this weekend. Stay warm, safe and pace yourself if you have to shovel out! I know my husband and I will have to 😉 The puppers was cracking me up looking at you like can I have some chewing peace please 😁

When I was younger, I would put the ash on the driveway for traction in the winter. Especially on ice. Works wonders! If spring came and had ash leftover, I would dig a hole and bury the ash. I called it an ash hole. I guess I never thought about putting it on a garden. Now I know! Thank You So Much! Shalom!

That's good to know, I have used some of my ashes for dust baths for my chickens.

I love your choice in tunes🧡 When I say, I love you guys, I truely mean, " I love you guys!" Great video, as expected 😊 It's super cold, out East, here! I guess we're in for a nasty storm this weekend. God bless and keep warm & cozy. I'm sure you will.

[thelibrarymouse]

Ready for MORE SNOW?!!?!!!! 😄❄❄❄ We live near you guys and get hit by the same storms. The last which brought you 2' brought us only 4". (I was disappointed... I LOVE snow.) I'm happy they're predicting maybe a 1' for us up here this time too. Stay safe and warm!

P.S. This year our winter gardening has been my hubby prepping our blueberry and raspberry rows so he can lay woodchip mulch down in early spring. I'm also trying out new herbs (nettle, catnip, lemonbalm) and practicing using them to see if I want to add them to my herb patch in spring. 😊

(Naomi Shubert) I watched this one a few days ago,  but forgot to say thank you about the hint with the wood ashes.. My garden is I think over acidic so think the wood might help that from what I have read so planning to do a bonfire next week as don't yet have wood burning stove.

[RedRoadgifts]

New to this channel just love your videos and learning as I go.. Thank you so much.

[wahnitafinnegan]

I am so glad you are back with your videos I so enjoy them and learn a lot. Going to have my husband watch this one we have a wood stove so he can put the ashes on our garden bed now.😄 (he does watch your videos but he was out and I cheated and watch it without him)

[phillully]

some good gardening tips Doug & Stacy.. that's guite a wood stove it has more uses than just heating the house or cooking on top of.
and i never knew that a wood stove could have a water tank?
that makes it so much more convenient to modern living.
Warm and comforting. till your next video take care.

I grew up in the 40's and just what your two are doing I guess my Grandparents did but I don't remember, wood stove, then coal stove, then electric stove and the years went by.
I am so glad that I grew up bye my grandparents and the life that I lived. I cherish it everyday as I am now in my late 70's thanks for what you are showing I love it.

The little house after the big snow. Maggie brushing her teeth on that bone. Dusting the garden beds, my grandma's wood stove was a little vit bigger then yours. The firebox ran the width of the stove the cooktop and the oven were about 3 foot by 4 foot and the hot water tank was 3x3x 1.5 matching the firebox on the opposite side. So it was about 7 ft by 3 ft by 3ft. Cooked by water heating up and circulating the oven. Better temperature control and kept the kitchen warm. Twenty-one loaves of bread if we used a baking rack inthe oven or a Thanksgiving dinner for about 60 family members. Of course you took two days to cook everything. Desserts first then the fixins and finaly the two turkeys.

On the farm, you recycle and re-purpose everything. I love that you have very little waste.
