Its crazy how people would give hate to a man who is living his best peaceful life

@marywilliams7977

Mister you don’t have to explain yourself people are just jealous. Have a great day.

@hickok45

I have a Ph.D in observing envious trolls and haters. There are people who actually DO something, and there are people who sit and assume the role of critic, which is way easier than doing something.
There's always an ample supply of folks who can't tolerate anybody who doesn't conform to their own ideas.

@FaithInJesusOnlynotbyWorks

23 years old, and you hit the nail on the head. I did feel like I was wasting my life when I was working 60 hours a week as a cook! I wanted something more, I want to build something cozy, make it beautiful inside and out, and have a family. Make technology a little luxury instead of it being so intrusive in my life. I find you so inspiring, I hope I get there one day.

"YOU'RE NOT SUFFERING ENOUGH!" - Youtube comments

You're giving us free content and people give you shit. You made the right decision getting away from this crap.

@joycenagy3140

If "They" are not paying your bills, don't waste time on their opinions.

@barbarageddis1584

My father told me when I was young, “Don’t worry about what others think of you, let them worry about what you think of them!” You are doing something wonderful and many find it amazing.

@tammylee6141

It’s insane that you have to defend yourself when you are bringing us free content on how to achieve this life or parts of this kind of life.  You and your family are so appreciated for taking the time to do this.  Thank you!

@dansnodgrass3351

I am close to seventy years old. I can tell you with 99% assurance that you couldn't find a handful of people now days that have enough common sense and enough back bone to do what you all have done. You are very Blessed. God Bless You All

@whoknowswhat-n3x

THE HATERS HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING DIFFICULT EXCEPT HATE.

@U4EA2007

I laughed really hard when you said the animals would roll off the mountain, good stuff.

@hildegardkhelfa

"The pigs and chickens would roll off..." made me laugh so hard. Don't mind any negativity. You and Brooke are just doing fine and each of us has the own responsibility for living our own dreams (or decide against it for whatever reasons). You are not there to live other people's expectations. I enjoy both of your videos and am very fond about your wife's channel. We all can find our little nature islands, no matter how often and how intense, just nobody can make me do the first step. I have to do myself. And is it not wonderful being able to switch between offgrid and a life, where you enjoy more comfort? Why should it be either / or when it can be "and".

@nyoung827

I cant believe you even addressed the trolls. Their opinions are worthless. Keep up the good work.

@pastorpapamike

You absolutely nailed it. We built a cabin and lived off-grid around 40 years ago...those are the times we still regard as the best of our lives. Simple, active, productive activity. I'm 64 and you have me ready to do it again.

@kenyh6695

Off grid living to me is unplugging my wallet from the government. Getting away from cities and crowds.

@ArmsFamilyHomestead

It’s just amazing how people think they can push their beliefs of what you are doing and tell you how you’re wrong! Hahaha

@midwestmutineer7675

"Off grid" isn't "homesteading". We support you!

@chancehunziker87

Don't listen to the haters. They will never understand your kind.

@yjkwon79

Some people just love to complain/hate about everything. Don't mind them. Love your vids!!

@abrahamhunt5088

Dave you are very nice to even take the time to civilly discuss the immature judgments that some people who have watched your videos cast upon you. But we are all free to live exactly how we want to live and it is none of anybody else's business. I dream of living off good one day and I hope to be able to have as many options as you and Brooke have in your off-grid adventures. Keep on doing your thing and don't worry about anyone else. It was a pleasure seeing you and your wife on Alone and it will continue to be a pleasure to watch you guys over the next many years to come. Take care always.
