You are both right...
I blame the parents for this firestorm. Mom Facebooking? Why? If you are so off the grid, be off the damn grid. Don’t parade your lein too as adequate housing in a four season part of the country. The earliest settlers built solid structures out of lumber, stone and hand made clay bricks. Why? Because warmth and protection from the elements has been a tantamount survival skill passed down and refined over the centuries. Yet they CHOOSE TO LIVE LIKE THIS and (apparently via the confrontation over the NEIGHBORS WATER) they have not sourced a potable water supply. Do they use a latrine? Do they bath in the small pond shown? There are basic hygiene issues that their PUBLICLY PROCLAIMED lifestyle would make her FB friends WONDER?
And that brings me to the incident. Dad, with all those acres, no job and a lot of time on his hands, hasn’t found any water supply that HE owns? He steals from his neighbor, and when confronting her threatens her w/his gun, retaliation (he KNOWS where has lives!), and calls her a pretty nasty name. Hardly sympathetic.
And now local families, churches, are saying they had scamming issues with these two. So bad was their threatening behavior that the local Mormon church BANNED them and other local families (unschoolers, off the grid types saying “no thanks, don’t my kids interacting with them
Something just seems very wrong and off. This maybe a case of CPS being a stopped clock...eventually they’ll be shown as right on this one.
She has an entire blog as well as a SAlon for Grooming animals...she was or is remodeling in an old pet shop....
I honestly don’t get all this with this family...but maybe that is the point for them. They don’t want others to “get them” for one thing or another....
Here’s she introduces her kids and does seem to know them well....plus she speaks about building on this or some other land...it’s pretty confusing...but seems to me they’ve hit some rough waters along the way and ended up there...

I’m getting a sick feeling these two are playing the system...this gal is all over the internet....she’s opened a grooming business and remodeling it...very nicely I might add....in a strip mall....below are more detailed photos of the shed they supposedly lived in....but then I read they were staying with people. It gets so complicated because they were booted from the LDS Church...and more accusations these two con people...so who knows.
There’s even discussion where people the go fund me page was set up by a friend of her husbands who says he’s in business...but there’s no proof...when called on it he “wiggled” it’s just a starting business.
So this thing is starting to smell real bad! I think this gotofund is all about getting money to fund their new shop and attain a cabin om their property...there are people already willing to help them do this...
