You are all amazing. The outpouring of support by everyone has been truly overwhelming and quite frankly, INCREDIBLE. You've made me so excited for the future and the adventures to come! Whilst I'm planning my next big adventures, i'll be posting little adventures on my instagram, i'll see you there legends: instagram.com/jacob_harrell/

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 on beating cancer, getting married, buying a house, a return to your career, building a sweet little abode AND adopting Muddy-- she's the cutest addition of all!! Inspite of cancer, you made your life an adventure. You should be very proud young man! Wishing you and Muddy ALL the best in the years to come. Stay healthy!! 🤗💖🍀🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

Being able to change your mind about something and decide that you need move in a different direction is just such an important ability. The montage in this film was just beautiful and I can see why you are a successful film maker. I loved watching you make your gorgeous tiny houses and I’m so happy that you’ve beaten cancer. Good luck with whatever you attempt in the future - I’m sure it will be fabulous.

When you posted your video of canoeing down the river with some tea and some cake, I was in the midst of a depression that made me feel like nothing had a purpose. There was no point to me, or others, or the world. Watching you canoe for miles, simply for the joy of it, started me back on the road to health and purpose. I’ll never be able to thank you in person for that, but I pray you continue to find joy in mundane things. I’m so grateful that I can again. Thank you.

Jacob, you might not remember me but you replied to a comment I left about a year and half ago. I told you that your video transformed my life and gave me the inspiration to build my own home. I saved every penny from that day, and I begin next year still. I had no idea about your cancer. I have a similar genital condition and have an operation 31.08.23. You candour, and transparency has been unlike any other story on UKposts. I'm English too, so I found you relatable, easy to follow and fun to watch. Thanks for changing my life for the better. You genuinely have been my sliding door after a divorce and mid-life crisis. Thanks mate and all the best in your future. Will update you with my documentary of the build, as I edit videos too.

No failures, just experiences and lessons, you will be back!!! You are made of solid stuff and are a good soul XOX From Ireland

This is sad, but a sign of the times. People can't afford to dream anymore. Not for long anyway. But I wouldn't exactly call this waking up. It's the silent, dark restful sleep after you dream. I've heard said if you settle for this, you only wake up before you die just to see what you've missed. So hopefully he means it when he says he'll keep exploring life.

I think this is one of those situations where you get to know someone from seeing their videos online who, despite never having met, can’t help but call him a friend. All the best to you in health and future, my man.

Jacob, I'm sorry your dream didn't work out. I love your new house. I feel like you might recapture this dream in the future. Your work on the tiny cabins were beautiful so you might try it again sometime later, maybe in a different location. Best of luck!

The most important and bestest news you beat cancer Jacob, you have a beautiful wife, gorgeous home , scatty dog. I’m sad about the small home business but it’s selfish reasons I will miss watching the adventure as to be honest I could never decide who was the daftest you or muddy what I do know I smiled and laughed each video so thank you . I wish you and your family love and blessings for the future x

Here's to The New Adventures! :) It was lovely of you to share this one with us.

Well I just want to say I’ve really been enjoying this little corner of the internet. This channel has always felt so real and organic, which is refreshing and honestly a little reassuring being in a youtube space where most of the people I subscribe to tend to present a very put-together front. It’s difficult to account for failure, especially while existing in a society in which failure is disavowed as merely a setback. It’s difficult to face the fact that you can work so hard for something, pour such love and energy into it, all with no assurance that it will work out in the end. But at the risk of sounding cliché, I truly believe it’s the process - the journey - that matters most. I truly believe, especially from experience, that failure opens just as many doors as it closes. Aside from building something physically, you built something internally… You learned to overcome new obstacles and proved a level of dedication and skill which is now a scaffolding by which you will reach new goals and dreams. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors Jacob, and I can’t wait to see the places you’ll go!

Glad to hear that you're doing well, the business not working is a bummer, but it's awesome you've got such a positive attitude about it.

This is actually the first video of yours I've seen, and I find it really encouraging. I'm glad you tried chasing this dream, and even though it didn't work out in this way, I'm sure the experience will help you on your path to the thing that does work. This video you've made makes it feel ok to try something, even if it's not a sure thing. Because even if it doesn't work out like you thought, it's worth it. Best of luck to you ❤

From what I heard everything just sort out by itself. You got married to a beautiful wife, got maddy, got a job that you love doing and bought a house for your family. That is something to celebrate. So the business didn't turn out. But hey you got everything else just nice. Cheer up.

I’m impressed you crammed so much living in 28 years, good for you. Your next 28 will be even more amazing 🎉

I would do anything to be able to live in The Cotswolds. You did an awesome job. Glad that your cancer was taken care of. Don Hooper Ocala Florida USA

Thank you so much for posting an update (especially when many content creators just ghost their viewers when plans dramatically change). Full faith in whatever project you do next!

You and your channel pop into my head every few weeks Jacob. When that happens I smile and think, wow, what a lovely story your journey has been and continues to be. I think what makes what you've done here so special Jacob (other than your personality and film making prowess) is that any one of us can reflect the kinds of challenges and victories you've had over the years in our lives. It's bittersweet, but ultimately human. Wishing you all the best and continued health and happiness!

From one weirdo to another, be well my friend! Looking forward to your next adventures! ❤

You're an amazing storyteller.I'm sorry this didn't work but I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

I watched this video on August 5 2023...i have watched many of your videos in the past. You actually succeeded in helping me and others keep dreaming and planning for our own tiny house ventures! Thank God you are healthy again... married...loved by your family. Until we see you again! God Bless you!😊

Best of luck on your newest adventures, Jacob!

Oh my gosh! I’m so sssaaaddd😢. I love your little cabin and everything you’ve done on your channel. I don’t understand the bureaucracy with tiny houses. I just moved into my tiny house on wheels in a community in NE Tennessee, USA. I wondered why you disappeared; it makes sense now. All the best to you, your wife and, of course, Muddy! ❤ I’m looking forward to whatever is next. ❤✌️

I'm sorry your original plan didn't work out, but here's to many more adventures!

Jacob I for one was never following because of one thing, such as your tiny homes - it’s because of your humour, honesty, vulnerability and integrity. Keep on keeping on, and we’ll be here. (Maybe just introduce us to your lovely partner more often! 😄)

I'm so happy, yet sad, yet happy once again for you. I'll keep watching. You know, it'd be fabulous to see your plans for the different tiny house endeavors you've created/put forth. 😀

I often encounter people filled with regrets. So when there is a a choice to make, I ask myself what would I regret more? Yeah, I’ve had failures but very few regrets. Besides this little house honed skills for maintaining a house. Carry on 😊

I'm really touched by this. Not sure what to say but that's for bringing us all on this journey with you and for this video explaining the past year 💙

Planning permission beaurocracy ruins and kills so many amazing ideas. It’s happened to our neighbours next door who put in for permission to replace an ugly flat roofed 60’s monstrosity kitchen extension to their listed building with a fantastic, not off the wall, not ugly, completely in keeping with the houses in the village, matching stone etc. The heritage planning officer said she “didn’t feel it was right’ and wanted them to do a double height extension rather than single story. They now have permission for that BUT now can’t afford to do it at all because it’s 2 stories high, building costs have risen etc. all because of a planning officers feeling. Feelings shouldn’t come into it. It should be because it doesn’t meet criteria not because someone in planning doesn’t feel they like it.

I have been intrigued by tiny homes for many years now, but the big problem is that where housing is incredibly expensive and a tiny house would be a real find, tiny houses aren't welcome; and in the countryside where they are welcome, there's no real need to be so frugal with space. Congratulations on getting planning board approval, that's where most tiny house dreams seem to die, and your dream got past that. Knowing when to pull the plug on a business that isn't working out is a real skill you share with my brother and his antiques business. He saw the diminishing returns and chose to close before he went broke. Too many entrepreneurs lack that skill, pumping everything they have into a lost cause like my cousin who opened a restaurant and bar and did not give up until he ran thru all his savings, and his house, and was flat broke when the police finally shut him down because too many rowdies had taken a liking to the place.

Thankyou Jacob. I wish you and your family all the best with future endeavours. Will be staying tuned in. Love and thoughts

Hey man, as a fellow uni-baller (Cancer-free since ‘03!) I just want to say that I really missed your videos this past year! And as sad as it is to see your tiny home dreams fall by the wayside, you’re a talented and capable dude and I can’t wait to see what you have planned next for the channel.

whatever you do in the future Jacob - I will be following. all the very best for your next steps, just keep going. greetings from my tiny house in Austria, you were one of those big, big inspirations to make my dreams come true! ❤

It's not LIKE a real house because it IS a real house. I could never do this. I love the montage of all you accomplished - got me crying. While moving on can feel like failure, now you have everything you've learned to use going forward. I have subscribed so I won't miss what you get up to next! Best wishes from Indiana!

Amazing story, and channel. Keep posting please 😊

Jacob what a wonderful charming man you are. I stumbled across your hot tub bath video, sitting on my laptop out at an old converted farm house in the middle of nowhere Sweden where I have recently emigrated to, so I can be with my partner, it's minus 30 outside right now and we are surrounded by snow. I came for a little inspiration in designing my hot tub (with respect your bath idea, whilst great concept was not it) and instead I got a life lesson about being authentic, courageous and being grateful. Thanks young man, you are going to do great at anything you put your mind to and although I only watched two videos... I hope you made a tidy profit selling your land on with planning, I would easily argue your little cottage was a huge success and I wish you your partner and your dog a beautiful life together. I also like that the translation on your video confused marmite with mum. Here's to Mums & Dads making good men like yourself. Peace!

Happy for you , your health , wife, dog and new home ❤

Well this sux! I'm going to miss the tiny house builds and all the adventures that would have taken place there. I was waiting for you to set up so I could visit. 😞 I'm so glad you are well. It's great that you are confident in your life plans. You never want to stay "stuck" in something for someone else. Look forward to whatever adventure awaits you. Just don't make us wait so long. I'm invested in your life now. 💕

You have exactly the right attitude for having a good life. Best of luck on your next journey. Thanks for posting!

Congrats on the new home! Thanks for taking us along for the Tiny House. Looking forward to your next adventure. And glad to see you making new vids for GBS!

Jacob, I was worried that your cancer had returned when you stopped posting….so even though it is sad that this particular dream ended, I am happy and relieved that you are doing well and moving forward with life! Best wishes from Colorado!

Good luck with whatever comes next 👍

It’s really brave to do what you’ve done and are doing. And this is really inspiring and helpful ~ its painful and sad to go through these stages, and your sharing of your story is amazing adn beautiful. Thank you ❤️

For some reason this came up on my feed today & I LOVE IT!!! You are an amazing young man & I will definitely be back for more of your content. May you & your bride have many, many, MANY happy years together. Love & respect from East Texas 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Beautiful craftsmanship……well done. Wishing you peace and happiness as your journey unfolds.

You have just a wonderful attitude about life and the things that come your way (good or bad.) You are truly a survivor. I can't wait to see what comes next for you!

Congratulations on the new adventure!

I'll be looking out for your next adventure. I hope I see you soon.

Every video was such a joy. You are a treasure!

This is the first video of yours that I've seen and although it's sad to see someone's dream being over, I just love your attitude to life and I'm sure that what with your enthusiasm and talent you'll do great, wherever life takes you. Wishing you all the best!

So proud of you!!! You are doing fine!

Thank you for sharing your honesty and your deep feelings. I will be going back to watch your channel as I did not know of it before now!

The world is changing too fast, sometimes we just have to adapt and make decisions we don’t expect.

You're a talented guy. Keep it up Jacob !!!

You are brave and curious and inspiring. I have learned much watching you learn much! Keep going and can't wait to see what is next.

Hello from Connecticut, this is the first video I have watched of yours yet i felt so connected to your journey. I typically watch tiny house videos and permaculture videos. Rarely subscribe and even rarer to comment but you my friend have touched me with your raw beauty. Cheers buddy, looking forward to seeing more of whats in store!

No doubt about it Jacob, you are truly amazing, somehow finding inner strength to move on to another focus and purpose to your life. Cheers!!!!

I’ve enjoyed watching your talent and I know your next adventure wi be fabulous! Best wishes!😊

This is the first of your videos I've seen and I love it. What a journey you've been on! My ears pricked up when you said you're 28 because that's the time of the first Saturn return and an entry into real adulthood. People usually make big 'responsibility' decisions at this time just like you have ie getting married and buying a house. So you are about to begin a whole new chapter of your life and I wish you all the very best ❤

You bounced back from every setback. I have my doubts about how long tiny houses will be tolerated by landlords who would rather rent bigger houses and make profits - even if the renters need rent assistance.

When you get a new subscriber after watching this video, that's me. Looking forward to looking at your playlist of videos and enjoying the collection you have. Well done on your journey thus far. Bravo.

Beautiful house with beautiful handiest inside. Beautiful videography! Blessings on your head as the future unfolds.

You are amazing. The world has changed soo much over the time that you have had these major events in your life. You've continued to smile through these events. You've given me hope that the world isn't in such bad shape after all. We need more positive videos like yours that are just as infectious yours.

You make me happy watching you. Good luck and best wishes to you. From Tx

you should be proud of what you have achieved, everything that we go through is a learning experience that teaches us and grows us as human beings. Onwards and upwards I always say, good luck with what ever new venture you about to embark on.

Each one of us sometimes has downs. Fortunately, there are also ups. Life would be boring without learning how much we have inside of us. Your knowledge is so precious. Keep going man!

Looks like you had a great idea great adventure now a great adventures.awaiting you another time soon .Happy life

Sorry to hear about your operation. Medical issues change everything. I had emergency surgery, in May, for a bowel obstruction. I was on my way to camp host in Idaho for the summer but the surgery changed everything. I ended up with a colostomy, to save my life. The good news is I am having the colostomy reversed in November and have been able to keep weight on. But it also means living in an RV is horrible and no longer fun. But it means I'm stuck, too. After my second surgery, in November, I want to spend another winter in Texas, but I will have to see.

You've given us so much joy. Don't go away!

May the wind always be at your back, and love be prominent in your life. Wishing you all the best in these new adventures.🎉

Looks like you have so many amazing things to look forward to !!!! All the best be happy 🌻🦋🐕🌈♥️

So many business start ups flop, but then, with better planning, deep thinking, and some business lessons learned, part 2 or even part 3 , it comes together. Have another go after settling in your new place. And well done on beating the C! 💪🏼 🎉

What a great encouragement and reminder to let dreams grow and change and take you to soft landings and lovely happy endinds. Congratulations on all those successes ❤

Dear Jacob I am so sorry to hear that you have experienced a terrible cancer by the ridiculously young of age of 28 yrs. The news is out that one of the the side effects of the jibbity (for that outbreak in 2000) is that the immune system is damaged with each jibbity and the results are worse after the third, fourth etc. i pray you stay away from further jibbities and sustain a completerecovery. And I LOVE your cinematography and film editing. Magnificent! All the very best to you and your wife in the next chapter of your life. Sending love from 🇦🇺

Every attempt is a success. This one is just over to make room for the next. Happy adventuring!

What beautiful work!

Jacob stay well and congrats on your accomplishments .👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just came across your channel & wish I had long ago. I believe I would have really enjoyed them. Unfortunately I don't do instagram etc. Good luck & may the Lord continue to bless you. 😊❤🙏

Wonderful human, so wise at such a young age. ❤

Thanks for being real❤

You gave it a go, and you built a great tiny house! Good luck in what comes next!

You singlehandedly convinced me to never move to England. 2 years to get a planning permission is just nuts! OTOH, I'm sure we have parts of the USA that is probably way worse! We have insurance companies who won't insure geodesic domes, because they aren't a old school traditional home, and we have lenders who won't lend money to buy a geodesic dome for the same reason. They don't care that the home is more likely to survive tornadoes and cost them less money. Best wishes!

There’s only success and learning. You had a wonderful adventure and now onto the next one. We wish you all good things!! 🙏💕🙏

One of the greatest things in life is that we can change our minds... and justify it to nobody. It's called life's experiences. Best wishes for the future.

All the luck for you and your fam. Enjoy the ride called Life 🎉

I've 😮 enjoyed your builds. God bless you and your family. Glad you beat cancer never stop dreaming about things God will provide.

Jacob, sometimes life and it's circumstances can just suck. However if we're lucky we can grow in experiences through the sucky parts. In the time you've had this channel, not only have you had some fun adventures but you've gained a wife (she seems so lovely too!), a very cheeky pup but most of all you have gained knowledge and skills that you'll use for the rest of your life. So...sometimes sucky can turn to lucky (ugh but I'm leaving it there lol). Long and short of it is that you are a young, talented and extraordinarily creative person and I can not wait to see what you get up to next! Thanks for everything so far and looking forward to seeing where life takes you next. Hugs!

Life is all about change. I was content living in my mobile home for the past 30 years. Now I'm going to have to move. Not right away but within a couple of years. It's going to take some time to get rid of stuff and pack and I have no idea where I'm going to go. I'm glad that you have a full time job and a home to live in. Best of luck to you and your wife.

"Life is what happens while you make other plans." Congrats on beating The Big C, on marrying your lady, on building your interspecies family, and on actually acting on your dreams (a form of success in and of itself, regardless of the outcome). I wish I'd accomplished as much back when I was 28... back in 1987.

This was one of the first few channels I subscribed to, I so hope I see you before it’s my time. I’m 71 not very fit and feel quite overcome that it’s taken you all that time to get planning permission that you’ve really had to move on so much. It’s sad all round for me, too many losses lately to comprehend. Hope to see you again Stephanie UK.

First of your videos I've seen, impressed. New subscriber!

Only saw this video now! Furst time seeing you! You didnt fail. I see a nice stop for bird watchers, school nature outings and more! Your dream will make other's dreams!

Though it didn't last, I still appreciated these videos so much, you inspired me to take control of my own life and create everything i have always wanted for myself. Best wishes to you and your lady ❤️

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

What a precious story ❤

I remember watching you’re building the tiny house. It was very beginning of the pandemic and was wondering what’s going to happen and worried, and then bumped into the small fairy tale house building that made me feel better. Things are supposed to be changing. The tiny house maybe would gone but memory stays with you the whole life. Good luck on your next eras.

You are a talented man. I don't see you abandoning your amazing building skills, even if its just for the most wonderful playscape for future children. Looks like your just taking a fork in the road. Good luck!

Oh my gosh I've missed YOU and the wonderful updates - I loved the hot tub video! Couldn't be happier for you, beating cancer, getting married & buying a house, AND the doggie😊 I'm older (67), and know that life will always surprise you. Best wishes and continued success🎉❤😅

Your an amazing man hopefully we'll see a Jacob Junior down the track? Your young & there's no telling where life will take you.... enjoy the journey ! 😁❤️
