I think Rose is way more valuable to the homestead than a stove. Finding a lady who would be willing to live in the initial conditions you experienced? She is definitely one of a kind. Love your family!!

I looked up "healthiest thing in the world" ... came across a picture of Rose over a caption that read "A unit that is cared for by a woman, mother and wife that loves and tends to the physical and emotional needs of her husband and children, who in turn love and value the woman who is central to the success of this cohesive group that we call family...the foundation of a healthy and stable society".

I got a spot of land 40 years ago, had some Lumber delivered, and built the first section of my house. We are completely off-grid and self-sufficient. Today that house is 5000 square feet, it is indistinguishable from any house in the city. My wife and I raised 7 kids so we needed the room. We also home-schooled our kids, three started University at the age of 15. Over the years I built on according to our needs. In the beginning the solar power was really expensive and a little bit primitive. Now the house works like any other house with Electric appliances thanks to the huge battery bank that I have. Bottom line, It's doable people, make no mistake it's not cheep and the expenses are all front-loaded. But the payoff is priceless. Everyone of my now adult children has a good relationship with the Lord, that's what matters to me the most.

Sold and subscribed when he told his wife, “you’re the heart of the homestead”. So sweet.

Your wife is the prettiest, most beautiful lady. Her eyes practically twinkle and she has the kindest smile. What a happy family and wonderful life you made together.

"Rose" is truly a beautiful woman/wife/mother. Everyone around her is blessed by her presence. ANDDDDD she made the pie!!!!

Your wife is more precious than the finest gold. May God bless you and your marriage

You provide the most beautiful content and you deserve support. I am an Arab national residing in Germany. I am a fan of hunting and wildlife. How I wish to spend the rest of my life like the wonderful life that you live in the wilds and forests among deer, bears and fish and in the arms of the beautiful nature. I wish you happiness and progress. Keep waiting for new trips from you every Love you

Yes, we would need a quality wood cook stove. But more importantly, you would need a quality lady like Rose. She certainly is the centre of your existence.

When I was in 3rd grade we lived with my grandmother and that is about the exact same stove she had, we would take baths in a galvanized tub also. Wow, that brings back memories, I am 69 now. Thanks

My grandma cooked on a wood stove. Grandpa chopped the wood and shoveled coal for their central heating. They also had a two seater outhouse when the one tiny indoor bathroom was full. Since they had seven children, the house was full indoors and outdoors during holidays with an abundance of grandchildren

My family in the coastal rural areas of the West-coast of Southern Africa had these stoves. As a youngster visiting from the city on extended holidays, I remember that these stoves were constantly kept warm and that there was always something on the stove cooking or backing. Hot boiling water for tea or coffee and the kitchen in every house in the small village was an "open house tea room' for all the kids in the village. With fresh bread and homemade jam any time of the day ...cookies and rusks to dip into a hot cuppa.  In the evening we sat around the long kitchen tables playing cards while the heat of the stove kept us all warm, no electricity just oil lamps lighting up the game and it was easy to see the stars at night, all you had to do was open the top half of the kitchen stable-style-door and allow the brightness of the night sky in. You guys are great. Thanks for the memory flashback.

Rose is so awesome. What a great mother and partner. She impresses me every video. This whole family and Dave is awesome.

ROSE! Everyone needs a Rose!💗

Rose is an absolute treasure, the oven is old school and perfect for your lifestyle. I love all your cast iron cookware, I have a collection of Lodge cookware myself & a 1930's Griswold waffle maker that I purchased from the U.S. Enjoy your off grid adventure.

I grew up with a wood cook stove much older than that one. It was EVERYTHING! I had a warming oven on top, a regular oven and we used it to keep water hot in a large copper boiler. Easier to use than people think. You learn where to cook on top, in the oven, etc. It actually is more versatile than modern stoves in many ways.

The old cookstove sure is nice. Have been around a few when I was a kid. The heat from wood can't be beat. Great video ! Rose is definitely the heart of the family. The huckleberry pie is a favorite, and looked delicious. 👍

When my mom made a pie and had dough left over she would put cinnamon and sugar on the dough and coil pieces up. She baked them for treats for he4 3 boys. She called them “squirrelies”!

Well I'm convinced that the world needs more Roses cause she Truely is the heart of the homestead. Anyone can save up to buy a wood cook stove. But landing a beautiful smart and kind partner in crime. That is a very key thing in a successful happy life. My hat is off to you Rose.
