#23 4 Years Off Grid… and We’re Still Struggling with...

Hi 🌞, 4 Years Off Grid… and We’re Still Struggling with failure after failure... What is it really like to live off grid for years while trying to build food security, self-sufficiency, and a homestead from scratch? After four years of off-grid living, we expected to be much further along. Instead, we’re still dealing with unfinished projects, costly mistakes, delays, and the constant challenge of turning abandoned land and a ruin into a functioning home. In this video, I share an honest reflection on the biggest lessons from our off-grid journey: Trusting the wrong people when building our home Financial mistakes when starting a homestead The discipline required for self-reliant living City life vs rural life Why what we call “failure” may actually be part of the process Building a simple life in the countryside is far more difficult than most people imagine. Growing food, restoring land, managing animals, and creating infrastructure requires time, patience, and constant learning. But despite the struggles, this lifestyle also brings something the city never did: freedom, independence, and a slower pace of life connected to nature. If you're interested in off grid living, homesteading, simple living, rural life, self sufficiency, or leaving the city, this video shares the unfiltered reality of our experience after four years. Sometimes progress is slow. Sometimes plans fail. But step by step, we keep building.
