We ALMOST Gave Up on Homesteading When...

5 років тому

Today we are talking about several of the times that we almost decided to quit homesteading or at least parts of it. Not everything works out as planned every time...but you have to keep going.

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

I don't even homestead. I live in an apartment and work in a casino, but I look forward to your videos every day.

I love watching your videos. The best on UKposts 🌹 God bless you guys 🙏 good luck 👍

@renanims6630 3 роки тому

Same here! But I HAVE had a garden before, in Ozark, MO! Missouri’s best crop are rocks & weeds! 😢. I live in Washington state currently. Watching this vlog channel keeps me in touch with my Missouri roots.

@bethreaves403 3 роки тому

I just commented basically the same thing to them yesterday on another of their videos! I live in the middle of a suburb of Oklahoma City (Moore) and the only gardening I do is flowers and herbs and peppers in pots in my backyard! But I have learned so much from them, I almost feel like I could homestead too. 😁

Great video of encouragement & faith. You are the 1st homesteading channel I watched. I just happened upon you by accident. I’m not even a homesteader! I am now hooked on them. I learn so much through them. It’s not just about homesteading, it’s about life, it’s successes & failures. Also love the recipes & homeopathic methods you use. Keep up the great work & I’ll be watching. Love & Hugs from Ft. Worth, Texas.

Lived here 25yrs and now that we are retired and semi-retired you guys are letting me see the real potential of this land and how we can be more prepared through these uncertain times. I look forward to your videos and have been binge watching older ones. Thank you for sharing your lives. Cheers from 🇨🇦

@missykuss9975 5 місяців тому

This resonates with me. My husband and I are older. Me:61 and he is 68. We are buying a 14.5 acre homestead (vintage 1880’s) and are going to be retiring there. The place is in pretty good shape, but there’s a lot to be done. Clearing fences, repairs to barn and sheds, taming extensively overgrown gardens, etc… This is our dream, but there are fears that we’re a bit old to be starting this. But we’re both pretty strong and healthy and we’re hard workers. We’re moving from NW Arkansas to southern central Missouri too and leaving behind family and friends. It exciting and scary. Wish us luck!

Sarah and Kevin, your story is an inspiration!!! I am a 71 year old lung cancer survivor who has managed on one lung for 4 years and I had pretty much given up on doing anything more than crocheting. However, your videos have re-energized me and given me hope that the Lord kept me around for a purpose and he sent me you! Your real life story will encourage my youngest son to live his best life and my husband and I have something to talk about - the garden. This year has been disappointing in it’s production but that poor yield has given me the time I need to watch your videos and learn SO MUCH! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a God-Sent reinforcement of his will! God Bless you and your family! Deidra in NW OK

Love the trees blooming in background. Gotta love Spring. I cannot even imagine not living out in nature in the country with animals and wildlife. I am a cattle rancher and have bred goats before. I have had ducks and chickens. My older son died I almost gave up.The grief was overwhelming and I could not care for them all them. I still breed pure bred Santa Gertrudis cattle. Now I have my younger son missing everyday is a struggle but with God, nature around me, good friends get me through. Bless you for sharing.
