In this episode, we set up base camp on our raw piece of land in the Smoky Mountains — clearing space, unloading tools, and building our first real shelter: a humble tent shed that marks the start of everything to come.
It might not look like much, but for us, it means everything.
This is our first step toward a dream we’ve carried for years: building a homestead, from the ground up, as a family.
And it all starts right here.
👷♂️ This week:
– Saying goodbye to Jolene
– Creating a builder’s base camp
– Laying out plans for our first real structure
– Organizing tools and getting ready for the big push
New to the channel?
We’re Jordan and Desiree, and we’re building our mountain homestead from scratch, documenting every success, mistake, and lesson along the way.

We're Jordan and Desiree! Our newest crew member is Captain Oso. We spent 6 years restoring and sailing on our 30 foot sailboat, "Atticus I". We made it as far as Panama, when we decided to upgrade to "Atticus II", our larger, more reliable family sailboat. We are now heading towards the Mediterranean to start our sailboat family!
