Welcome to Suburban Jersey Dad
How this began...where it's going.
Welcome to Suburban Jersey Dad
Hey, I'm a regular suburban dad from New Jersey with zero pro experience, a tight budget, and a habit of diving into projects way over my head.
From backyard gardens and swingsets to pop-up camper fixes, outdoor cooking, and now clearing our raw 12-acre off-grid mountain property in Upstate NY — you're watching (and reading) everything raw and unscripted.
We make mistakes. We laugh at them. We figure it out using YouTube tutorials just like you. And our biggest hope? That seeing our real progress (and epic fails) gives you the confidence to try things yourself.
If we can do it… anyone can do it. 💪
Whether you're a hesitant homeowner, fellow parent wanting to build memories with your kids, or someone dreaming of a little land and more self-sufficiency — you're in the right place.
What We’re Working On Right Now:
- Ongoing development of our 12-acre mountain property (land clearing, trails, off-grid progress)
- Backyard builds & home improvement projects
- Gardening experiments & growing food on a budget
- Camper upgrades & family camping hacks
- Outdoor smoking, recipes & backyard cooking
New videos drop weekly on our YouTube channel. Come laugh, learn, and get inspired with us.
