Blue and Craig answer questions about the off grid homestead life: how they found their property, what are the biggest challenges, what are their future plans, advice for others wanting to live the off grid homestead life, and more! This is the full 40 minute interview.
I am mesmerized by the forest… by the intricacy of life in the woods. Every square millimeter teems with fantastic variety — mosses, insects, flowers, grasses, mushrooms, trees. Even the rocks are filled with ever changing life. Only the most magnificent God could create all of this from nothing. Woods are my worship. And my worship is simply to be astounded at how awesome is our God.
