Choosing The Ozarks - Homeschooling, Gun Laws, Raw Milk And Regulations 📷 [MY Video inside]
In a Steemit Exclusive! Jaimie and I answer questions about why we chose the area we did for homesteading? You won't find this video on YouTube as we've labeled it "unlisted".
The Ozarks covers a sizable area over southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. It's a region covered in small hills and mountains with a variety of cultures and people groups scattered within. You could almost describe it as a state unto itself just known as "The Ozarks".
Believe it or not, the rural area of the Ozarks has lost population as people raise their families and move into the cities. The draw of technology, convenience and internet service has pulled many people from the Ozarks. Left behind are aging land owners with no children to pass the land down to and so it goes up for sale. That's where the homesteaders come in!
There is a small group of people who have decided to leave the cities for various reasons. Our reasons included;
- eventual financial collapse
- no healthy food in stores
- zoning and regulations
- high property taxes
Some folks are wanting to buy up this land that is going up for sale and begin building on it and enjoy some of the freedom that comes with it. They are frogs deciding to jump from pot that is ever increasing in temperature.
But the Ozarks is divided into two states and like it or not, those state laws effect our lives and the way we want to live. Which state is better? Which provides more freedom for Homeschooling, Gun laws, Raw milk and government regulations like building codes and zoning?

Thank you so much that video was so packed with information. I live in NJ and they regulate us to death. Working towards leaving. Keep up the great videos.
Wow, yeah, NEW JERSEY, Get out when you can. Wishing you the best!
I was in NJ and left many years ago to VA. Best move I ever made. NJ is not a good place to be right now.
Sharing this to get folks woke up!

New rules this year in our favor. ☺️
Very good format of the video, liked the interaction, I hope you do more! Also enjoyed the fact that you didn't make this available on Youtube!!! I bet you can't wait for SteamQ??
Yeah, we are going to do more like this. Not all but some.
I am jealous of your location to say the least. Such a beautiful area!
I follow your youtube channel and have learned so much to add to my own #homestead adventures #thl
THanks for watching! It means a lot!
This was one of my favorite videos by you both :)
Thanks!
Also, the more junk in a yard, the lower the property values making it easier to buy land, which is fine by me also. Goodbye to Illinois, and hello to where the Ozarks meet the Ouachitas, looking forward to the freedom. Great video for homesteaders considering their options.
The Quachitas...another good place to live with very low government interference. GREAT CHOICE!
Thank both of you very much. This gives me a new direction to look in. Keep steeming ahead!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
You should start your own reality show about what life is like in the Ozarks. There are actually people who are looking for people like you to film and make shows out of. Think about it, you could make some easy money while representing the life you've chose to live. Nice post!
We've been interviewed by lots of those networks and entertainment companies...the problem is they all want to create fake drama or take over your brand. NOPE. Sorry, not for sale.
Calm down, you are on the verge of creating a mass influx of people to the Ozarks. Lol. The wife and I and kids spend a lot of time in the ozarks and are in the process of shopping for land now with intentions of buying mid 2018 (paying cash so need to save a little more). I'm am frequently asked why the Ozarks. I reply with; I want to be far away from the city, live a simple life full of hard honest work, live the good life cause it's the only life I have.
