We are trying to become self sufficient and fully off the grid on a budget. This means growing our own vegetables, raising chickens, fishing and hunting for food.
But we recently moved to our new 18 acre homestead and had no idea that the weather here is 10 degrees colder at night than in town just 7 miles away. We get a lot of freezing nights all through summer. The first freeze killed our plants in the spring. The second freeze was during the "heat of summer".
Now we are trying to save what we can from our garden. We have been covering the plants at night to protect them from the frost. We got our first ripe tomatoes today.
We are making mincemeat pie from the tons of green tomatoes that fell off the vine after the frost. We hope to save as much as we can.
I am digging out some of the chili plants in hopes of saving them in pots. We love chili and hope we can still grow some.
You can watch the video here:
We are sharing all of our videos from the time we moved to our new homestead to the present. When we get you caught up, you will have the entire background story. then we will continue to share our daily videos and articles as we make them.

Please ignore the comments below.
Trolls from YouTube have found me here and are harassing me.
They spread some horrible lies about me and my wife in hopes of turning people away from us.
Many have believed the lies and joined them.
They harass us in the real world and online.
All we do is share videos of our daily lives on the homestead.
Please do not give them the attention they seek.
Please ignore their comments and do not engage them.
They are dangerous in the real world.
Thank you.
It is just another ho-hum day at the ON GRID DUMPSTEAD .
Link Knight knows from personal experience what a total dick Troy W. Reid is. He’s always worth a listen.
Great, concise video for newcomers, Link sums it up in under 10 minutes!
@thdiyworld, You should tell the truth about this disclaimer.
The so called "trolls" are a product of YOUR Abuse of your viewers.
These real people tried to help You with advise, questions, gifts and MONEY.
Once you Refuse them, you BLOCK them from your YouTube channel.
However, they did not just "Find You" as you falsley claim here.
YOU made a video Inviting them to join you on steemit to "have fun and help you make money".
Now just a few days ago, YOU made another video offering to UNBLOCK those Trolls from your channel.
Of course you did not get any takers.
Why would they want to return to comment on your YouTube channel when they have freedom here on steemit and on .sucks that they will never get on your channel.
Also you have absolutely NO Proof of them, or me, of "being dangerous in the real world".
Your viewers should know it was YOU that invited me to your residence in MI, "face to face" to "end it" because if I saw you, I would "piss my pants", but I can "only come during the day".
It is YOU that is dangerous.
And it's all here on the block-chain to read!
@offgridproject, THANK YOU for reposting my comment that Reid deleted.
We all can see Reid up is up to his old tricks.
Deleting comments that are True about him that he does not like.
Just like on his YouTube channel where he has absolutely no credibility.
@watertower
Its like the Bible, got to spread the good word
Theres more than one way to kill a chicken.
You can watch his crap for free here as well.

@thediyworld, Mr. Reid, why did you Delete my comment here?
Are you provoking me to actually come to MI to meet you "face to face with open hands but only in the daytime" (your invitation, remember?)
It proves YOU are the dangerous person here.
Also, you should not be able to make one cent just for Up Voting this false and misleading disclaimer with both of your Steemit accounts, thediyworld and diy-electronics.
Pure filth, that's all he knows!
He's a Scammer, even on here he's scamming!
This is Troy William Reid, showing off his unique saluting style from his army days.
Imagine if Troy fathered a male offspring, who somehow got accepted into the armed forces. Troy’s idiocy would live on through his son, Troy “Harebrain” Reid.

Not sure if anyone watches Trogs filthy daily life anymore but if you do you can watch it here for free so he dosent get paid.
Its worth FA anyways, just another unfinished, never will be crap project.
I've flagged it up for the false video dicription.
All he's trying to make is a rusty old tin box.
http://pakdailymotion.com/watch?v=ZtKuwLJCVd0k
He has nothing to film.
Zero content.
That's his daily life.
Well, he did film a wood box to put batteries in today.
Just to prove he is 100% On the Grid!
But we all know that.
I noticed trog is changing out batteries in his electronics lab and shows a propane heater keeping him warm. Real off grid shit there. He also doesn't seem concerned about the fact old or dying batteries give off highly explosive H2 so his enclosed shack is a explosion waiting to happen. Wonder is the battery he showed in the bathroom is giving off H2 around his precious family?
Maybe I can achieve a second flag . Folks , this fool will show you what NOT to do in his daily quest for immortality at this site : https://nicktube.com/watch?v=ZtKuwLJCVd0
holy crap that is boring...
put me to sleep 2x
I can see that Trog and i are going to get on well.
It’s no wonder he’s quiet just look at him although it’s lovely without all those Parrot answers.
You could almost hear the drone and the whining reading his comments!

Funny thing is, the day before this "killer frost" Turd Reid filmed himself dusting the leaves of the plants w/ a caustic fertilizer meant to be mixed in the soil...Another self made disaster by the Turd..
