Their food comes from their backyard, and their medicine comes from herbs. With no carpentry and farming skills, they built a tiny log home and live with no grid, solar, or wind power and survive using natural resources: water, natural sunlight, and fire from candles and wood. Their homestead is 100% self-sufficient and was built from the ground up. They sold their home in a large Midwestern city and hand built an 800-square foot log home on 11 acres. They realized how hard they had to work to pay the tax man and for a lot of stuff they did not actually need.

You can find Doug and Stacy on YouTube or Facebook. Now we have a passion for teaching what we learned so others can live a simple life as well. Today I am growing, harvesting, and preserving most of all our own food, collecting rainwater and gravity feeding it to our cabin and raising sheep, chickens, and ducks. By the soft flicker of the oil lamps and the heat provided by the wood cook stove, I am sitting here reflecting on one of the best decisions my husband and I ever made. Doug and I have more energy, vitality, and our health is better than ever. Living a simpler life has become more rewarding than we could ever imagine. I will never forget the wonderful feeling of empowerment and satisfaction the first time we slept upstairs in our loft when our home was finished. I would come up on weekends to help until the cabin was finished in late September.

I thought I would feel sad, but I felt so free after that first step! Moving from a 3,000 sq. This downsizing experience was very cathartic. All that “stuff” would not fit in a 600 sq. If we were going to do this, we had to be 100% committed. The next thing I know the doorbell was ringing nonstop and Doug was selling all our belongings online…even my favorite stainless steel kitchen table…and a for sale sign was in the front yard! However, this next chapter would be like no other. One night in rainy rush hour traffic, Doug and I committed to re-prioritizing our life.ĭuring our 20-year marriage, we had plenty of adventures. By educating myself about living a holistic life, I was ready to change my whole lifestyle and my husband was as well. I learned that the stress from toxic foods, environment, and hectic life needed to change. No doctor could find anything wrong with me until I visited a naturopathic physician. I was experiencing some major health issues that were affecting my day to day life. We call it “Living the Pioneer Lifestyle in the 21st century.” We found 11 acres in the Midwest with no electricity, no solar power, and no public utilities.
