you will read how dedicated folks expose the lies and chicanery of one Troy W. Reid of Lewiston Michigan and his Youtube channels THE DO IT YOURSELF WORLD, THE OFF GRID PROJECT, TECHMAN 2015 and TR TECH TACTICAL.
He is a faux homesteader/off-gridder/prepper/survivalist who makes a mockery of these vital subjects. Watch a few of his videos and you see he is nothing but a lazy jobless bum who makes half-assed videos that don't show him actually doing anything related to these topics, at most he shows half-finished projects.
He is expert at making subtle subliminal suggestions to his gullible viewers about how poor he is, how he can't afford everyday items like a box of screws, tires for his car, etc. in order for his viewers (he loves conning the elderly) to send him donations and gifts.
Yet he brags about having several jobs, has a $700 phone, several vehicles, 16-18 acres of land with several structures (that he may or may not actually live on - there is evidence that it's all a "movie set" where he does his pretend homesteading) and never seems to want for anything... yet he loves to look like a pauper to get people to send him stuff. He even bought a $700 mini-bike with money from a "bring my Filipino bride home" campaign - a mini-bike he rides through the mud on with a TEENAGED BOY while his pregnant wife is home alone! YOU CAN SEE THIS RIGHT ON HIS VIDEOS.
Real homesteaders like the Fouch family on Youtube don't accept gifts from viewers and teach their children the same, to earn their own way in life by their own honest labor. Troy says it makes his viewers feel good to send him stuff so he never refuses anything. He is nothing more than a grubby con man and e-beggar, and this new forum will expose all his lies WITH SCREEN CAPS FROM HIS VIDEOS AND COMMENTS.
Good work sir!
I have been watching his fake homesteading videos for 5 years and all he does is claim poverty and show his ignorance on each projects he starts and never finishes. He is too stupid to look on youtube or google for help on doing things correctly and hasn't learned a damned thing in 5 years. Most of his viewers are just watching for the train wreck, me included.
