I’m from Newfoundland. Natural sun and soil aren’t our strong suit, however, hunting, and fishing can be a unbelievable strength. If indoor greenhouses ever becomes novel, Nl would be amazing. There are a tremendous amount of beautiful atlantic ocean views.
I know they are invasive, but moose are an incredible resource.
@@Raymond-wj4ol Not invasive, just not native. They were intentionally introduced with the intent of naturalizing, hence why they are not invasive.
The timing of this video is an insane synchronicity for me. Weirded out. Thanks for another one, good sir.
i bought my first property 12yrs ago here in central nfld 0.9 acre water front no property taxes with a decent house for 37,500. i just bought my second property a newer home built in early 2000s with 0.5 of an acre same community no property taxes for 84k. if you dont mind being 30mins from town to go grocery shopping there are a lot of options here
No property taxes ?? Drool…. sounds like a by-gone era….
Newfoundland is not really that far north. At least where most of the people live. St. John’s is further south than Vancouver and all of western Canada. The main issue is the cool and wet summers which makes for a difficult growing season. Also the soil is extremely poor in most areas. But there are over 100,000 moose on the island for 500,000 people. And plenty of fish – you need to be near the ocean, which is not difficult. Also lots of firewood available. with some greenhouses it could work well. Also the winters are relatively mild in southern Newfoundland. Much warmer than central and western Canada winters. But the weather is wild, microclimates are your friend – down in a river valley vs top of a hill can be a game changer.
I’d love to hear about Minnesota
We just came back from a driving trip through NFLD and NS. We landed in St. John’s, then drove through Gander, up to Twillingate, then to Corner Brook and down to Port au Basque. It is beautiful country! Since most things must have to be trucked in over the ferries, we were surprised at the lack of farms and even gardens on the properties that we drove by, and we took the scenic route off the main highways many times. There were a few farms around Stephenville. You would really have to work at building soil, but the fishing and hunting would be amazing!
Living in Saint John NB . Seen like a real life zombie today at north end McDonald’s. No shoes on. toe nails looked nasty. When emt said he was calling police he hid in the utility closet. I left after that. Later that day they had the bathrooms on lock.
Curtis please do a video on Nova Scotia !
Great places to grow and homestead there !
insane snow and ice. poop agriculture. Hunting and fishing is the way to go.
Curtis, as someone who watched many of your videos and have the greatest respect for what you have accomplished, I have one comment. If you have the wearwithall, why waste your time setting up in Canada. The climate is nasty, the government is anti citizen and morally, financially and ethically broken, and with an immigratgion invasion it is the perfect setup for a social chaos when the economy collapses. Living costs are astronomical. Why not set up elsewhere (more tropical enviornment) where land is cheap, the climate is better and costs are much lower and gov’t is more friendly to its citizens. Just seems, that no matter where you homestead in Canada, you are fighting obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. It becomes ,not a game of lifestyle change but more a struggle of everyday survival. Sometimes the idea of homesteading is exciting and challenging but why not do it where climate and living costs are more in your favor.
What your describing is just not what we experience here. Where would be better in your mind?
@@offgridcurtisstone Southern US, central america and I have a few wealthy friends who love Uruguay. Paraguay seems to be up and coming.
I was born on the rock but grew up on Labrador….Labrador had two seasons while I lived there…. this winter and last winter…..not much of a growing season. Better suited for the hunter/gatherer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw Kenny Rogers perform in St Johns about 10 or 11 years ago. St. Johns is populated, but leave the city and the farther you get, the harder the dialect is to understand. it’s as bad as rural Georgia, you just can’t understand the accent.
I love that part…. you could if you had a sync will.
Can you do Nova Scotia next please
Im from northern new brunswick ! Newfoundland has its own weather patern and pritty harsh at times! They dont call it the rock for nothing! Only go there if you like isolation!
Mr. Garry here from GBL-The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 🇨🇦! Here with FULL SUPPORT!
Happy to spend a few minutes with you Brother and offer mutual friendship to you and to anyone watching and listening!
Please do Nova Scotia!
we have a 1 acre kinda urban homestead in flatrock NL. It’s outside of St. John’s. The town I live in is incorporated. Unincorporated towns and areas are the best places for homesteading as they don’t have imposed regulations on things like farming and livestock. This being said, in our small town I’ve been able to forge a thriving space where we can grow food, raise animals, etc within the regulations no problem. The soil here is horrible but easy to build fertility with animal and cover crop systems. Tropical storms, hurricanes and wind in general are huge issues and almost none of the forests are climax forests due to the lack of fertility, ph, lack of fertility. Planning active shelterbelts is a must. We generally have less than 110 frost free days so season extension using greenhouses and row covers is a must. We have a 4 season greenhouse with a gaht that I designed myself so we grow year around no problem. for the most part crops don’t need watering but in the past 2-3 years we’ve had drought in July with about about 1/2″ of rain the whole month. Its a decent place to live, I have everything I need. It’s fairly costly to get off the island…but i’m not looking to go anywhere….
