Rainwater, ph 5.9, copper pipe= holes and copper sulphate in your water and ringing the bath.

Come back

Really useful set of videos on this, thanks for uploading! I'm looking to do something similar this winter and was just wondering if your hot water tank is a sealed unit or can air enter? Just thinking about how to stop it potentially exploding from the pressure but I'm guessing it's not fully sealed and hence not an issue?

Great system. About to do something similar. What happens if you turn off circulation? Can you use the fire without heating water or could the pipe work overheat?

Water ok. Eating eating more plus Methane And burning is Best Way Stay warm .

Methane. Better

Solar no good. Waste of money

We had a similar system in the 1980's that my father installed on the woodstove. Ours had copper pipe zigzagged across the stove. The system would easily get the metal 30 gallon tank to 130 degrees fahrenheit after several hours. Here is my advice for better performance.. Pressurize your system on the cold water intake line where the water enters the cabin. Your water will circulate better under pressure. The most important thing is to insulate your hot water tank. This will make a huge difference. If you move the coil into the fire box somehow you will get hotter water. Insulating the tank will probably make the biggest difference.

Black cats are a reality, I have seen them in Wales and Herefordshire.

🇿🇦 I'm from suif African 🇿🇦 we'll I believe you fouks no OL an but the electrical fun and games we have In 🇿🇦‼️I whant to thank you for your video it will be able to help us to make oure life easier . Vincent for suif AFRICA 🇿🇦

Buy a simple plate heat exchanger (£50) and use that to pass the heat from the stove loop to the hot water tank. On the clean side add a thermostatic mixer valve and set the temperature to your shower temperature 38 or so and then you can heat your shower water on demand without it needing to come from a tank.

Hilarious!

Haha! Great ending. Subbed.

Yes, it takes quite a lot of energy to heat water up. The number 4000J comes to mind for what you need to get 1 degree C rise per kg of water. Another way to think of it is to say it is over 1 Watt Hour per degree. I don't know how many kg you tank is but it looks to be quite a lot so I say you are doing well on heating it up.

Just stumbled upon your chanel. I'm also in South Wales. Did you build your cabin yourself? I'm dreaming of escaping the rat race and living in the woods, just need to find a goos plot first

Water heaters use a clever trick you may be able to put into practice in a future design. It will take more plumbing and more pumps but here is the idea. The hot water tank is something that can take some number of PSI. You need to arrange something to limit the pressure that can build up. The cold water is fed into the bottom of the tank and the inlet inside the tank is angled to make the water go around the bottom of the outside. This means that if you take water out of the top, the new cold water will be the last taken. The heat exchanger can then be made to take water from the tank, heat it and put in it back near the top of the tank. again the inlet is angled to the side so the hot water goes around the outside of the top. It turns out that if you can stop water from mixing, cold water will happily stay at the bottom of a tank and work like a big piston to push the hot water out the top to the shower.

My dude, you can do better than this! No pressure relief valve to prevent a steam explosion. And what will you do about the inevitable build up of scale inside the piping wrapped around the flue?

Absolutely brilliant , good on you for for doing everything yourself , really enjoyed watching this and got some good tips . Thanks for posting this...Cheers

Would the system benefit from a small pump for the radiator line around the flue ? Wonder if that would speed up your times?

Where are you located? You sound English but I doubt you're in the UK.

Do they not make a barb fitting that could connect your 12v soft tubing to the copper pipe?

those strip lights are not powerful enough for growing anything and causing your seedlings to be "leggy". use florescent tubes/cfls or a proper led strip light from a hydroponics store. even a warm windowsill would do a better job.

Pumas (mountain lions) are not black. They are mainly a sandy coloured or slightly grey coloured. More than likely a black leopard or black jaguar.

i use 24v hybrid all in one. system is similar to u i use 2x 260w panels and a larger battery bank wired to main 240v CU and ring circuit and a step down box before for 12v lighting and pump blade fuses . same as you not ideal as limited morning sunlight. wales eh dark dreary roll on march!

Be careful whenever you bring steel and copper together. There is a concept called galvanic corrosion, especially if there is any zinc in the steel. Any exposed surfaces that are touching have a potential to corrode because of electro-chemical interaction between the two metals.

My God, are all off grid people Arnot in a hurry to say anyting.

Yoy should speak slower... I couldn't keep up 🙄🤔😜

I don't know where you served, but I would of never made an habitat like that ... worst thing I could do was to cover myself in foliage in cold and damp conditions !!! If any thing I would of dug a hole under that downed tree and used the trunk as a roof ridge . As for water .... Either buy or learn to make a draw straw ! ( Draw straws are hammered gently into trees to draw it's pure water ) And finally.... Warm drinks in high temperature lowers body warmth and cold drinks in low temperatures heats the body !! You give a thirsty man chilled water in the desert you will probably kill him...

Thank you for this… it just popped up due to my off grid power research but very happy it did I’m gonna try it out but my wood stove is only a propane tank at the moment

I just hooked up a coil of copper around my pipe, the water got so hot it almost exploded the cpvc pipe that was no where near the copper ends it connected to. I need to know what i should do to prevent this and the best way to control it.

Do you ever find that your pump gets clogged up with gunk after a while? Maybe the water in my area is too hard but after several months I always have white flaky crust gunking up the lines.

I can’t watch you mate! You’re so boring, and quite depressing to watch! Good luck!

😂

This is excellent! How warm will the water get?

Very cool video, thank you got putting your life on the line for us

I can see how cold you were getting up in the morning by the colouration of your mouth. It was so cold last night and snow not far from where you were. How many times did you get up for your circulation? No food since 4pm the previous day for energy no hydration, not exactly winter gear either. And you spotted Pleiades straight away too, damn I love you. Well I definitely take my hat off to you for doing it. 👏 ❤️

Is that a dog bowl chimney cap

1984 great book.

great little video mate. as you had no issues and it works perfectly, is it safe to assume your holding tank is vented? also how long from a cold start would you say it took to heat up the water in the video enough for a shower?

Hello

Thankyou I found this very relaxing therapeutic even ..look forward to more youl be flying soon 😎

Man , you have some crappy solar exposure for sure, need to get rid of some of those trees to the south.

Thanks, from Oklahoma, USA

Excellent, well done . You can't beat keeping it simple..

Make more films .I found this excellent 😍

I am smart enough to know that I don't have the skills to last beyond the food that my pack can hold. However, I always look to having my gear be as long term as possible. I want my BOB gear to last a long time and not have to buy a new item every time i use it. Eg: flashlight vs chem stick, poncho liner vs Mylar blanket, The only things you should find yourself replacing on a regular basis is food, toothpaste, soap, and batteries.

Informative and beneficial video

For lightweight hiking/camping in the summer, I'll take the Helikon poncho, zips up into a sleeping bag. Good review of it on Corporal's Corner. DId you have a water filter? Highly recommend the Grayl purifier, don't think there's anything better available without the hassle of tubes, pumps, or waiting on gravity. Expensive but worth it.

Really well detailed and explained with 2 complete kits. I noticed your hare snares were already pre assembled. Could you make a video explaining how you made them and how to set them up for success? Thank you.

Great setup. I would put something down on the grass first in case you lose stuff.
