My Name is Mike and Welcome to Ouachita Mountain Living, — where this channel took an unexpected turn… for the better.
What started as a DIY and homesteading journey in the woods slowly hit a wall. I was documenting projects, fixing up my old place, and sharing rural life tips — but let’s face it, the algorithm didn’t care. Then one day, I sat down, hit record, and started talking. One video turned into a series… and I haven’t looked back since.
Now, this channel is about real talk — life, culture shifts, personal experiences, and the strange world we live in. No scripts, no sugarcoating. Just me, living solo in the forest with my dogs and saying what a lot of folks are thinking.
If you’re here for DIY and homestead content, don’t worry — I still do that too, but you’ll find it over on my other channel: The Dogman @thedogman2, where I post hands-on projects, how-tos, and all the sawdust you can handle.
Thanks for following along — wherever the journey goes next.
