1st, it is an enjoyable show to watch. Sorta "Hillbilly Blood" supersized.
They start off saying that they are "living off the grid and Homesteading". I guess this is true if 'off the grid' means no paved roads and not cutting you hair or combing it. They have backhoes, generators, water well, electric tools, vehicles, animal trailers and a home that they call 'the barn' that they live in. Other than having a dirt floor and (so far) no running water - pretty nice place to rough it. Seems that they have plenty of cash to build, create or invent new stuff.
All conversations and scenarios are scripted for best TV effect. "We need a greenhouse so that we can make it thru the winter. Take the backhoe and dig out a spot to but it, use the pile of railroad ties to reinforce it and drill each one and use rebar for dowels. Or, they go the 'guy up the road' to pickup some goats and chickens previously purchased. See a Llama, only one around, ask if they can have it for free, of course they can and they corral it into a towed animal trailer that wasn't attached to the only truck they brought on they way up there.
Overall fun to watch, just to see what the next 'emergency' scenario will be, like Hillbilly Blood. I'm still trying to figure out why someone will would bring several very large trucks of (s)crap to a new homesite, except for an emergency/fun fix. The, lets go to the scrap pile and take 3 riding lawn mowers apart so the we can race them down the hill for fun. 1st episode had to go to the scrap pile twice, guessing it's going to be a valuable guest star during the season.
