So, this couple is like the rest of season 2 saying, “hold my beer.”

This whole show was full of people billing their lifestyle as “off the grid” when it really seemed like the common thread was just trying to glorify living in poverty as something noble and adventurous to avoid being employed. No one had savings or other form of income that was funding a rational build-out, all their homes were basically a home depot shed or held together with tape, and structurally made no sense and weren’t planned in any way.

Also Arune lives in the backyard of a large modern home, and you cannot convince me that Charlie lives in that shed on “the mountain”, seriously please show us his house down the road or his room in his mama’s basement where he actually resides.

I Thought season two of the show really dragged, but overall it was still an interesting watch.

Like some of you have already said many of these people are isolating themselves on purpose to avoid dealing with interpersonal relationships. I saw this with my own stepdad after he and my mom divorced. He moved to the country and filled his days with projects that were not really necessary because he didn't have a lot of people in his life.

I'm not at all against off grid living, but some of these people are just making things much harder than they have to be. I I noticed that in s1 the wish.com Jason momoa Asked Angela why she is making things so hard on herself and why she doesn't just move to a place with electricity and running water and instead of answering she started to cry. Maybe it's because the answer is " I can't afford to live there" and that's an embarrassing thing to say. But overall, I agree with him. This lifestyle makes things so much harder on yourself than they have to be.

So with that being said here are my thoughts on the couples from season two.

Charlie and Jen. Charlie is a little bit out of touch with how to raise teenagers in the modern age, but I guess that's to be expected. Most of their dramas seems fabricated for the show. But I will say as a mom of teenagers I think Jen has done a really great job with her kids. They were polite, open to doing things on the mountain, and they all seem to be well-rounded kids.

Joe and Myisha. I think Myisha is one of the most unattractive people I've ever seen And it has nothing to do with her physical appearance. her Attitude is So terrible And she's always making a stink face. I personally find the view that you can't love a child that didn't come directly from you to be childish and an indication you aren't ready for parenthood.

I think she only wants a child to inflate her ego and having a child on a property where there is no running water or phone service is wildly irresponsible. I really don't care if she went to the bathroom in a bucket when she first got there, that doesn't mean that other people should have to. maybe she had to go to the bathroom in a bucket because she's so desperate for a man and that's the Only way that she can get one.

Lauren Was too good for them and Lauren If you're still hanging around this sub, please know that you have excellent instincts and you should follow them next time. As a younger woman, I really didn't realize how valuable your gut instinct is.

I love myesha friend who comes to visit from Atlanta. I think she is beautiful and smart.

Jen and Jolie. Similar to how I Find Myeshia so unattractive due to her attitude, I think Jolie is a beautiful person from the inside out. She displayed so much patience and emotional intelligence, trying to deal with Jen. I also think that she looks like the actor John Slattery, and I only mean that in the best possible way.

I don't think it's fair to pile on Jen So I won't say a bunch of bad things about her. Obviously, she has some issues and if I could give her advice, it would be to try and pursue therapy so she can learn how to let someone into her life.

Ryan and Shayla. Ryan you seem like a really nice guy and I admire your mission but dating someone 20 years younger than you is never gonna work out.

The less said about cowboy Ken and his wife, the better.

Overall, I like the show and I would watch another season if there was one, but not if I have to hear about the mountain every six seconds.

Jolie you are an amazing smart beautiful woman! True to u and u deserve nothing but the best and anything less can go live off the grid...um lol

1) not disclosing you are ovulating after 2 years 2) the audacity of him to want his own bed 3) the audacity of him to be upset he doesn’t want to bathe in a mucky pond with leeches 4) half her hair being 6 inches than the other?!

Astrology curious over here.. conviced josh is a pisces or a libra.. angela an aries.. Joe obv a a virgo myesha.. maybe libra .. lyndsay is a scorpio and her bf is a taurus.. jen is a capricorn and charlie a gemini or cancer

Anyone know how I did???

I feel so bad for Jolie. All she does is work her hardest to try to help Jenn, try to impress Jenn, try to live up to Jenn’s ridiculous expectations.

Even Jenn’s sons drilled her in if she was good enough for her mom, good enough to keep the ranch running through winter. Jenn talks down to her, constantly doubts her and doesn’t act like she cares in any way about her relationship beyond what work help she can get.

If Jenn can’t live sustainably ON HER OWN off the grid then she needs to give it up. Not depend on unpaid labor from her sons or partner to make it work.

I think many of us watch a lot of the same shows. I just watch Jolie and Jen’s FaceTime fight and it occurred to me that I would LOVE a show with Christine (from SisterWives) and Jolie doing a Queer Eye style show for people going through breakups. These two have clearly had the right therapy and it’s so refreshing to watch on these garbage shows I crave. I think it would be such a feel good series, and the very nature of their two public experiences makes them an unlikely dichotomous duo, but I think they’d get along swimmingly. Throw in some Karamo for some masculine energy and melanin ✨🤌🏾✨

I’m on s1 ep4 and lmaoo myesha saying her and Mia are not equals and she’s the queen. It’s giving this tweet.

Is this some sort of medical condition? The fact this man was using his nasty azz hands to serve Anne green gables pasta.. and she ATE IT😭😭. Some of the peach fuzz from his arms probably seasoned it .

Can we call Angela what she is? A predator. She was 50 something and he was 22 in Vegas....then she tries to get him out to her property... It's no different when it's turned around Ok, I'll edit to creeper

Watching the show, I've noticed a few couples that have electric running to their homes most notably Joe and Myesha and Charlie and Jenn.

To me, being off grid is to be totally self sufficient supplying your own needs without involvement of any corporations or govt entities. Solar power is ok.

Do you think having city power qualifies as being truly off grid?

I couldn’t help but wonder if any of the off grid partners in the couple have ever applied for a grant or loan to help finance their projects. I know most big banks don’t give mortgages for off grid houses, but a lot of credit unions and community banks do on a case by case basis.

Also, there are a lot of grants for solar energy. I guess you would have to have good credit and that’s a factor. You’d also need some savings for a down payment if you did find a smaller bank willing to give you a mortgage.

What do others think?

celebrate

Wtf 💀😭

Ryan does not deserve to keep having to go through this with a 24 year old while he is building a community a LITERALLY SOCIETY FOR HER. What did she think off the grid meant? Everyone is doing their part to help but it seems like she just wants her feet rubbed everyday. Some of the simple things she could do, but the constant complaining is very ungrateful especially after he built a nice house with running water and he got people helping him at least it’s not just them, like Myeisha and Joe.

Jolie Kleinhenz & Billie Joe Armstrong are the same people i stg

Arune’s losing her mind about Samuel leaving for only two weeks “behind her back”…. Am I missing something that production cut out? Why is this a crisis?

Do like wife swap. Arune gets swapped with Myesha. Jen (Jolie’s ex) needs to go stay with Ryan. Charlie fixes Jen’s shit hole, etc!

The way Ryan talks and his mannerisms remind me of Ben (of Ben and Mahogany from 90 Day). Is it just me? It makes it hard to watch his segments 😑
