My name is Mike, and welcome to Ouachita Mountain Living (pronounced Wah-sha-ta).
This channel documents my full journey — from being overweight and struggling, to building a homestead, to rebuilding my health, mindset, and self-reliance.
I speak plainly, I tell the truth as I see it, and I don’t dress things up to please everyone. Some videos are reflective, some are humorous, and some challenge modern thinking — all without vulgarity, just honest conversation.
If you’re interested in rural living, personal change, hard-earned lessons, and thinking for yourself, you’re in the right place.
