  • I've lost a lot of respect for the Dervaes after I heard this. This is sad because the Dervaes inspired me as well.

  • The problem I have is we should all be acting as a community,and not bickering like children.I have the utmost respect for the Dervaes in their endevers,until they start hurting people who are trying to accomplish similar things.I believe they should be able to TM anything they came up with,but the term Urban Homestead has been around since the 70's.I changed what my channel is called, as to not get anyone in trouble.I just find it sad that we have to be concerned with words rather than actions.

  • I'm sure Mr Dervaes will make a lot of prepper's unhappy as they can be considered homesteaders. I wonder if he would send a letter to somebody in Canada ?

  • How about: Urban farmer, urban farming, suburban farming, urbanbilly, suburbanbilly, urban hillbilly, suburban hillbilly, city gardening, city gardener, F- the Dervaes farming, F-D- farmers.

    LOL

  • Someone could patent or copyright all pairs of words in the English Language. Then we could no longer talk.

  • oh no, you might have to call your garden something else! boo hoo.

  • How about "Homestead Urbanis". Yea, I could be one of those.

  • What you are doing is GREAT!! That guy who wants attention doesn't matter to anyone!!! Keep up the good work!! THANK YOU!!!

  • Keep doing what you're doing.  I use that term also, and I'm sad that Dervaes is doing this. He inspired people and now he is hurting this movement.

  • On 7 Apr 2011 Denver Urban Homesteading filed a Petition to Cancel the trademark on "urban homesteading".
