Don't forget to check out City Girl's new video! ua-cam.com/video/WtjPAmc9Olo/v-deo.html
This was a great video Russel! Those beavers are amazing creatures but I especially liked that you put food into it...I always liked when you did that. That property with the pond was gorgeous I was hoping you were going to catch a bass and take it home to cook. Thanks for sharing and see you on the live stream!!
But I didn't put food into the beaver.... Oh, I see. Thanks Kristi!
For some reason watching Russell fight with the beavers reminds me of Bill Murray in Caddy Shack and his fight with the gophers 🤣🤣
Yep. Figures.
It's awesome when people are kind and generous to give you a fishing pole and invite you to relax and enjoy your self
Yeah he's a good guy.
Great video Russell, enjoyed seeing all the different events of the week!! Hope you get your atv back soon, that’s a lot of walking!!
Thanks Ruby!
ABSOLUTELY stunning views Russ!Id trade my life for that life on the river any day!!Thanks for the scenery.Toward the beginning of the video,i was thinking "he forgot his gas cap"but you found it!Glad to see you feeling better(im 65,and my health is#1)Stay safe sir and say hi to City Girl and Willow&June Bug!!
Thanks Brian! Life on a river, can't beat it.
Yay you found the gas cap and made it home! Go Russell!
Some days things work out, Lyn.
Russell, you always seem to find the shots that show how beautiful and unique nature can be. Great video again
Thanks Paul!
Love watching how quick those beavers can rebuild the dam.
Did you see this one Cindy? ua-cam.com/video/YHZ8DBl5SYo/v-deo.html
Damn, I love Beaver 😁😋 ... Sorry just had to comment when I read that 😉
Hence the expression "Busy as a beaver". LOL
Great video Russell! That underground creek was fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
It would be really cool to see those underground caverns, Alex.
Hello! I like you both very much as a couple. Russell you are brilliant, insightful, non-conformist, honest and authentic with yourself and with all of us who are happy to watch you, every week. You seem like a very nice person, with ideas, creativity and ingenuity. You are not afraid to show your strengths and weaknesses. I like you because you do what you want, how you want it, and when you want it, at your own pace. You chose the way to live your life, because that was the way you wanted it to be. In Greece, some years ago, lived a great writer, NIKOS KAZANZAKIS, who died in 1957 at the age of 74, and on his tombstone it is written: 'I believe in nothing, I fear of nothing, I am free'. Russell you are free, because you are true, decent, genuine, and independent. I admire you and your wife who seems to be of the same beliefs and values as you, I admire you and have tremendous respect for the life you chose to live. (Even if is way far from my preferences). I like people who respect everyone, they are kind to everyone, but they are not dependent on anyone, they stand on their own two feet and don't care about anyone's opinion and do exactly what they want, while respecting everyone around them. They are complete, balanced in their own imbalances, and so is your wife, whole and honest. No wonder you make such a nice couple. You seem to me like two straight shooters, independent, full of love, respect and appreciation for each other. By the way, the photograph you chose for the refrigerator door, is revealing of your sensitive and caring heart. I don’t know what came over me and declared my admiration to you, but my gut ordered me to write these few words. Sorry for being such a blabber mouth. Yes, you are free my friend, so free indeed. I wish I could meet you both, but this will never happen. I will keep watching your videos though every week. My admiration to both, and my best wishes for your speedy recovery. Be well!
Well said.
Very well said and I agree.
Well those are very nice comments, but I think you might be giving me too much credit.
You have articulated almost my same exact thoughts. I first saw one of the viral vids from last winter when we had a huge snow storm here in Ontario, one video in and I knew ...I had to go, all the way back to the very beginning. I forget how many videos Russell has made but I dare say it’s a few hundred for sure. I watchEd her every single one and forced myself to not watch any new current videos that came out. I’m kinda weird like that I’ve done this on a few channels. I was so taken with this concept of just giving up the “city life” and through much strife and many trials Russell not once gave up, not once. Sure, maybe he sat a thing down when things weren’t going right but he came back to it and finished it. I grew up in the Country, my little village only had 300 people it still to this day is around that. I grew up in a poor farm, the kind where the thing that grew the best were rocks :)
Through all of the videos one thing remains true, Russell’s deep love for his beautiful wife and his commitment to this way of life he has chosen. I’m not sure I could do it for much more than a week but, I don’t watch because he is “like me” I watch because he’s someone I aspire to be. Your comment was lovely, I enjoyed every word. I too have been known to be a little wordy...I don’t much care anymore, lol...I always enjoy the comments like “ who cares”...ha ha ha on one such lengthy comment I now have over 45,000 “likes”. I find that so funny 😆. So, when I read someone’s comment trying to be snappy “ who cares”...I think, “ well, apparently about 45,000 people do, that’s who” lol. The Internet is a funny place!
Really glad to see your up and about a bit more Russell. That place you were at is beautiful.😃
Thanks Wayne!
It's interesting to see another approach to off grid living. We have had our off grid cabin for over 20 years here in the Yukon. It's not fancy, as everything has to be hauled in over very rough trail behind the atv or skidoo. Our trail in the non-snow months takes about 2-3 hours, while in the winter months, via skidoo, we can shoot across the lake and cut off 2 km of rough trail and cut our time down to a mere 30 minutes! Depending on how many trees we need to cut off the trail that is. lol! When we first took over the cabin, the beaver had eaten themselves into starvation. With trapping, we have managed to bring a healthy population of beaver, muskrats and river otter back to our lake and stream.
How is the ice fishing?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Not bad! Got a nice pike yesterday!
Don't overdo the heart ❤️ Russell, we wanna see you around for many more years, especially after your recent op
Hello Russell. Thanks for sharing. Can’t get enough of those busy beavers! Take care.
You can't get enough? Yeesh.
Really enjoyed this week's video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, Simon!
Haircut and sandwich looks great. You have been busy. Thanks so much for this video. It was very entertaining and nice to see you up and around. Love you too Russell.🥰🎃
Thanks Deb. Haircut and Sandwich would be a good name for a band.
Holy cow, that would be one super solar set up, otherwise known as the SSSU system or ultimately, the SSSUS. I loved that river, that was so cool how it flows under the limestone like that, what a nice area. I do love your gas filler with the pump, I knew that you would find your cap, you’re not the rag in the gas hole kinda guy.... Wow Russell, isn’t that trail to your house about 3 miles one way? Holy shit, that’s 6 miles a day, 3 with a backpack and you’re on slow heart medication, dang, what a freakin hardship! And there’s those pesky beavers, like don’t they have anything else to do? This last build was like the footings for a condo, sheesh! Lastly, that was a very good commercial, nice, honest job there!
Well said💚❤️💖
Thanks for the comments, Nena. It's 3km one way. So about 1.86 miles.
Couldn't agree more with what you said about tipping. Most of the time I'll hand the person who gave me good service cash because I don't trust the tipping system a lot of the time. I'm always worried it'll just go to the business owner or get split amongst everyone. The tip should go to the person providing the service and the level or service they provide to you.
You said it, Rob.
I really enjoyed this video, as so much content from many different subjects. And they were all interesting. I enjoyed seeing how many leaves that have accumulated around your property. I planted around 700 trees of many different varieties on an old cow pasture on my farm and the leaves this year were spectacular, but I fortunately can drive my lawnmower around and kind of shred the leaves and let mother nature take care of them along with fertilizing the grass. I hope to see you tonight on live feed as it would be nice to see you both. Take care and stay healthy.
700 trees! That's a lot. Yeah the leaves on the ground are awesome. But City Girl almost lost a potato today because she couldn't find it in the leaves.
Il
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin good golly what a potential disaster.
Hi Russell. You sure did quite a bit of walking! I also take meds to keep the heart rate low. Fun stuff. The beavers are busy there. We have two on our lake but have not figured out where they are living. There is no hut on the lake anywhere. I keep an eye on them though. Have a great weekend guys.
Thanks Emily. I’ve discovered in a few places that the beaver lodge is on shore. Look for a pile of sticks.
Yay! A long video 🥰 Question: since the ATV is at the shop, will City Girl have to hike in with you to the cabin? How to do transport the "stuff"? I realize now how important the ATV is.
Caroline I hiked out to the road to meet her and we hiked in together. And today we’re hiking back out. A lot of hiking going on.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Well it must be a beautiful hike. Wishing you both a great week ahead! I hope you get your ATV back soon.
Hey Russel, you won't beat those beavers. My trail is 60kms long. I dedicate one day a month just for trial maintenance. And every trip I make I will move a few rocks off the trail and into one of the many holes. After 7 years of living at this place my trail is much more drivable and no more mud holes or water crossings...The beavers wont build that dam any higher as they don't want to flood out their lodge...You can build that area up, but its up to you how you want to accomplish that....I would rent a skid steer or small backhoe and have at her for a few weekends.... Best of luck, thanks for the video....
Jed that is one long trail. How often do you go to town?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin I can drive in as close as 12km from my place by truck now as they put in many logging roads over the years, it will be down to 6kms as they will be logging an area closer to me next year. I go into town twice a month usually sometime more....As kids we could take the train up and walk in 12kms but the trains stopped dropping people off at their stops (cabins on lakes along the tracks) years ago. It would cost 5.00 but the funny thing is the conductor never collected the money from us lol...back then 70-80's you could load canoes, atvs, building supplies or whatever on the train....
Great video Russel. My word those beavers are quick workers. I agree about the tipping, We went out last weekend to celebrate my birthday, absolute Crap meal but the waiter and waitresses were lovely. We paid the bill for the food but gave the waiting staff cash in hand. I just hope the got to keep it. Such a lovely slow pace of life you & city girl have when she's there, and a beautiful picture of you both too.Goes without saying hugs for those gorgeous dogs, Hugs UK
Good luck in the hunt Russell. I go to camp tomorrow (Saturday) for 3 weeks, 2 of which are for the deer hunt.
Good luck!
The beavers return with a win but again Russell returns to sabotage their dam. I was wondering if an electric bike would assist you in getting in and out to your car if you didn't have to go through the swampy areas? At least for the next month if you could rent one it might be easier on your body. I enjoyed seeing the underground creek. It reminded me of our regional wilderness preserve where I use to live, where there were four secluded campgrounds near where the creek bubbled up. It was so peaceful camping/sleeping there. Have a restful week.
Hey ER, by odd coincidence, I have an e-bike waiting for me to pick up. Will be doing a video on it soon.
Maybe you could incorporate all your solar equipment in your new shop. See what Ray thinks about a permanent catwalk so you can remove snow safely. Maybe a access door from the loft to the catwalk.
When you're talking to The wizard see what he thinks about putting some skis on your ATV trailer for the winter maybe ratchet strap those to the tires like the wrecker trucks do.
Always love to see the classic rock T-shirts you wear 👍🏻 hoping the ATV repair bill isn’t crazy huge. Nice young buck on the camera… good luck - looking forward to the opener myself. Take care Russ and thanks buddy, cheers
I'm betting the ATV repair bill is going to be huge.
One way or another, I would fix that road. I would frame the area with the proper size tree parts... so many were knocked down with that storm months ago... after "framing" I would fill the framed area with chips from a wood chipper---- then I would add bags of dry cement.... and expect that to absorb the water..... just as people pour bags of dry cement down post holes ... the cement hardens ... just doesn't make sense to run the ATV on the "road" ...
That sounds great. When can you start?
Teasing the wizard 🧙♂️ 😆. Great 👍 video. Love the beavers 🦫 ❤
Oh I shouldn't do that.
You need to get a Coleman bt 200 x fat tire minibike for emergency use to get in and out to the cabin. Pretty cheap and super easy to maintain but do a decent job off road.
Yeah one of those would be awesome. But I do have an e-bike on the way.
I love the beautiful picture of you both, that you picked to put on your fridge. Great video. It would be great if you could borrow that backhoe to fix your road.
I like the tractor your friend had and the backhoe. That road destroys your 4 wheeler.
I'd love to borrow a backhoe for a while.
I don’t usually tip at a drive through and even most call in orders. But, if they are like really friendly, good vibes, then I will leave a small trip.
Thanks for video. Trees are beautiful there. Very nice picture of you and City Girl for front of fridge! Hope Halloween party doesn’t have any tricks. 💕
Thanks Patricia!
The whole tip thing at a fast food place is unwarranted. If you are at a sit down place, it makes sense.
Great idea to mount all the solar stuff on the other side. Did you check out the price of the ATV that you saw? Really enjoyed this video.
That was a really enjoyable video to watch. I loved seeing the beautiful property you visited. I hear you on the frustration of businesses asking for tips…I don’t like it at all. Tips should be a personal gratuity not something asked for. We’re already spending a lot of $ on what we’re getting, don’t ask for more. I’m so glad you’re feeling better.
A guy had a problem with Gophers eating the roots in his garden and he placed Juicy Fruit in the tunnels that they made. It worked and they died underground and did not require burial. If you were to make larger balls of double bubble and place them after draining the dam dam they would eat them and clog the intestines and they would die in their lairs.
Russell so nice to see you out and working on whatever you are going to be doing in this video for all of us to watch. I have to ask you a question about the dead tree limb on your atv vehicle. Why do you have a small dead tree limb attached to it. I have no idea why but was just wondering as I am curious about why you have it on your atv. Be careful while you are out and about on your property this week.
Louella, can you take a guess why I'd have a branch there? It does serve a purpose.
nice to see your enjoying life and again i love your place you guys are blessed
Thanks Ernie!
Wow, all that walking to fix the atv. Sometimes life is harder there but sometimes more fun, relaxing snd enjoyable than the city. I think over all better than the city. But probably really hard if someone is old. Take it easy with your health. Your just right out of the gate. Great video, thanks 🙂
Thanks Mary!
Great video Russ. I think the tip should go to whoever served you. Nice seeing the beaver dam. It’s amazing how fast they repair it.
Thanks Scott!
Great video. Video management and drive space has been a nightmare for me. I am trying to determine if I should keep the raw files from my older videos or not. I did have an 8t usb drive but the usb part died is i need to pull the drive out and make sure it is still good. And they say drive space is cheap...
I've kept all my old video files, but I'm notsure that's the right idea.
Once again the beavers are busier than Russell can keep up. Hope you get your ATV back before winter sets in and definitely before bagging a deer. Fall color is fading up there just as we are coming into full color in Virginia. Looking forward to live Halloween show tonight. Pea soup...
Hope you enjoyed the livestream, Sue!
Oh the visco in the front diff already burned up? I tore mine out before it went and replaced it with a mechanical torQ locker which makes it full 4-wheel drive instead of having to speed up and spin the wheels before they lock up, which makes it possible to creep through the mud and snow.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds good.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin The front-wheel drive on the ATV, it's usually the visco-clutch in the frontdiff that sooner or later wears/leaks out. I tore mine out and put in a Torq locker, machined gears that can move some when steering but otherwise lock-up the front wheels.
The Visco is basically a fan-clutch with goo inside it that gets warm and expands by friction when one frontwheel spinn and then locks the wheels up.
The Visco-clutch has seals to separate the goo from the oil and only lasts around 1000miles or so before breaking and leading to front diff rebuild..
The Torq locker was a bit expensive (500$ or so) but gives the machine real 4-wheel drive and eliminates the bad Visco-clutch design which costs more money in the long run.
Great content as usual - good to have som channels that aren't all streamlined. Greetings from Norway.
Hi Russell, I’m a little behind on your video and live post. My husband has the same thing that you are going through with your heart. They have him on medication twice a day. We know the time will come to have the procedure you had done. Really enjoyed the video. We are in Maine enjoying our 50th anniversary. Rented a house for a week. Family came up for a few days. We are heading back home tomorrow. Take care of yourself. Tell city girl hi. 😊
Hi Russ and Alicia. Thanks for the great video as always. Sucks about the ATV. Get better and pea soup.
Thanks John!
I totally agree on the tipping. I keep cash and hand it to the one I want to tip. 👍🏼😁
I think that's the way, Rita.
Thank you Russel - what a good video as always. The picture is very romantic and nice, and I am sure that City Girl will be glad. I have ofte been wondering how long it is for you either to go by your vehicle or walk to your car - how far away is it? Looking forward to your next video. All the best to you and City Girl.
Russell, I can sure commiserate with you on the high cost of things these days. $500 for a new seat is definitely a lot of money. I too went into total shock when I shelled out $700 for a new Mustang seat to replace the uncomfortable seat that came with my new Vulcan 900 Classic.
I really liked this video. The creek and limestone were awesome. It is amazing what water can do. You should really buy a John Deere gator. You can have a windshield and enclose the interior. Then you could have heat and air conditioning. The bed of the gator has a push button dump feature (which we use to dump horse manure or brush). We use our gator every day for everything. Then you would have so much room for groceries or wood etc. If it rains or snows you could put a tarp over it while staying nice and dry in the enclosed cab. We put automatic on it for 1000.00. Total cost 16,000.00 for new. John Deere had the biggest dump bed and it has never really broken down. A little minor things you could fix. Anyway, Happy Halloween and as always beautiful scenery.
Thanks Ilka. I’d love to try a gator for a while.
Hey Russell, great video and have been watching for years. As I’m watching this one I recognized the road on your way into the solar project in BF Nowhere. I have a cottage on this lake and I can confirm there are no 10lb bass. Biggest one I have seen or heard of was 6lbs
Even 6lbs would be awesome, Kevin.
Great video Russell. I do enjoy them and seeing the places you go to , so interesting as I live in the UK. That place where you were working is nice but your place is so much more beautiful and such a special place . Blessings to you .
Penny, I'd love to land 10lb bass from my pond, though.
Can you introduce fish into the pond, is it aloud .
Sure, there are already fish in there
Wow! Those Beaves did a dam up job! ;) Too bad you couldn't haul all those "twigs/branches" back where the watery part of the trail is and fill it in?. I know it would be a ton of work. Love how Willow was just hanging out in the sun :) Little Sun Wolf.
Love the end.. Have one more ;) See at Booxefest!
Indeed, Kelly, difficult to move all those sticks.
Looks like the beavers are still hard at work😂 maybe bring someone in who can trap and rehome them a distance away
There are a million beavers out here, Jeanie. More would move in.
Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Great video Russell. I love it when I see that the video is over an hour long. Loved all the different content.
Greetings, Carol!
My husband and I were just talking about that the other day .How everyone expects a tip now . Its kind of ridiculous there not waiting on your table . There not making a wait staffs minimum wage . Wait staff usually made a lot less than the cooks of cashiers not sure if that has changed all the sudden since covid . But you know what I am looking it up and if they are tipped the employers can pay them a lower minimum wage maybe that is why there are doing it now .With all the minimum wage hikes .
I’m pretty sure Subway has standard pay rates at every restaurant, yet only some Subway’s have the tipping feature.
Good luck Russell!! If the truth comes out, it was the beaver that killed off the dinosaurs!!
So when it comes to zombies you're a runner instead of a fighter.
Sometimes the best offense is running like hell.
This lack of blood supply can cause fatigue, even when you're resting or being only slightly active. Everyone gets tired from time to time, but the fatigue that accompanies a heart condition like Afib is often described as: Constantly tired. Drained.
Yep.
Lot of walking in and out with out Your Wheeler Russ.
How far are you from Cecil Skinner ? he has piles of defect panels that he is repairing . Bad Diodes
maybe You can get more from Him.
That new Panel system looks to be out of square ?
Mike M.
Thanks Mike. The panels did look out of square. Not sure if it actually was. Might have been a trick of video.
Hi Russell, A great vid. as usual. Love the beaver dam clean out but what happened to the pipe with the screen at the end? Love the scenery! And you and Alicia too❤️💚💖💙🤗
Right... where is the pipe?
Yes where is the pipe, I forgot to add that in my reply
Judy the pipe is completely buried in mud. Not sure what to do about that.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Thank you soooo much for the reply Russell. I really appreciate it!!! Too bad about the pipe.Wish I had some ideas. The only thing I ever knew how to do with mud was make mud pies as a kid😂😂🤗💖💙
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin yes, thank you. But we can't let the beavers win. How about when the ice melts, using a larger pipe where the old one is, and adding a vertical pipe in the pond, half the diameter, with holes in it on the dam side, and a float on top, with two anchors upstream attached to keep it in place.
Whew! Yes, a Rube Goldberg creation but imagine the videos of creating this weird thing.
All above assumes the beaver destruction is worth the effort. I love the determination in so many vlogs.
Beautiful kitchen cupboards!!
Thanks Judy!
Besides the rain, do you wash the solar panels with any kind of cleaning solutions? Just a thought since I am sure they have a coating of chimney dust/dirt/oils on them. Maybe it cuts out the sun a bit. Make sense?
I don't wash them, Yep. They don't get dirty much. In the winter, sure, they'll get soot on them, but the snow cleans them off pretty good.
Those darn beavers. They are at it again the little devils. You should have a tee shirt with "Battle of the Beavers" printed on it HAAAAAAAAAAAA! The location where you were installing the solar array is beautiful. Nice having surf and turf dinner right on your doorstep. You should get a loaner ATV when you take yours in for service just like when you take your car in for repair. It is a necessity for you. You should ask them Russell. Your bagel breakfast looked awesome. Take good care of yourself Russell.
Thanks for the comments, Vanessa. I haven't found anywhere around here that rents ATV's. And if they had a loaner, it would have went to one of the 10 people ahead of me.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Time to buy a horse :) Russell. Good on gas. Just kidd'in.
Hi Russ! You need another smaller atv for a backup. A 350cc or something.
Hey Wayne, we'll probably get another one when City Girl is here fulltime.
That is really unbelieveable; certainly some pretty busy beavers. What pests!
Hey Russ!!, I can not believe you've not been subbed with an ATV!!, unbelievable!!, rasp rock !!, wow !!😃❤
You mean sponsored? That would be great.
There was something you said I was going to comment on, but I watched the video in two parts, so now I can't remember 😥, so I'll just say thanks for sharing with us, and love the time lapses as always!
Thanks James. One day, many years from now, as you're cleaning out your gutters, you'll suddenly remember. And you'll come back here and leave your comment. And we'll both laugh, because it will be funny.
Why don't you use your drone and show what effect the Beavers are having on the land and how much of the land it is flooding?❤❤❤❤
Hubert, it's hard to get a sense of things from the air, but here you go: ua-cam.com/video/PG7mup3dBgE/v-deo.html
Russel that bridge is just south of my hunting camp, you should've stopped in !
No way. That's not far from here. Is that where we were supposed to go fishing?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Russ I have a few boats and canoes , I have great bass fishing on the river at my place.
North of the bridge is all bass and south of the bridge theres a mix with Muskies !
Can you ride to that bridge on your bike or is it a car ride to there ?
Nice! You were at Beaver creek on Old Hastings Road a very historic old road , there are some old ghost town’s also in the area.
Good video!

Getting tired of the "guilt tipping" being forced these days as well. Oh, and the default is always 20%. Really?
Sorry! I don't understand the comment😔
??😂
"Guilt tipping" indeed.
Russell, hate to see you fighting the beavers for control of the water and land. Can you get any explosives to use to blow open some paths into the swamp land? That is how my uncle finally got a handle on his beaver problem.
I don't want to destroy the dam, just control the flooding.
Russell, are the boys ever going to finish the battens under your living room side? That would complete the exterior of the cabin. Stay safe!
You're not supposed to look that close, Haywood! But I can finish it, not much work there.
Russell you need a couple sticks of dynamite 🧨 to get rid of the beaver dam for a while 😜😂. I still love watching your channel and your place. That is a beautiful picture of you both 🥰. Hopefully you get your ATV quick.
Where can you buy dynamite these days?
that can am is a great machine , but not what you need. you should look at a bullet proof honda
My first ATV was a Foreman 450. But it didn’t have power steering.
Hi Russell. Please take care of yourself. I can’t live without your videos. Cheers from stupid ottawa 🍻
Thanks 007.
Great video! Happy Halloween everyone!!
Thanks Markus!
Another great video, and the photo you chose is perfect.
I have a question? First of all, like you I am off 100% off grid. 24v system 2.4kw. Apart from the fact I have 2 dying 2v 423amp hr Raylite batteries the system,for the past 12 years has performed without a hiccup. The winter for me has never been an issue, hardly ever having to run the gererator. I check the power station daily and would run the generator if the battery voltage dropped below 80% fully charged. My inverter is an Out Back Power Systems and controller a Midnite Classic. Sorry for the rant here. As I tried to explain winter has never been a problem until now, The summer though is quite different. With all the sun shine and the batteries are fully charged the inverter boots into Auxillary. So I assume more power than I need. Back to my question? If you uprade your system as you have suggested, will you not have times when you have excess power and what do you do with the extra power. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but you know this stuff so I thought, what the heck I'll ask Russell.
Final note. If you do shoot a deer, once across the pond you can harness the animal to Willow and June Bug, walk in front of them with a treat and they will follow and bring the beast up the hill.
Missed your Halloween live stream, lot going on here with the floods. Cheers mate.
Erich, sounds like a great system. I'm not sure what's going on with your inverter, but I can't think of a reason why it would do that. If your batteries are full, I would think you'd have more of an issue with your charge controller.
Yes I have more power than I need in the summer even now, but it's winter that's the problem. I've been trying to think of something to do with that excess power in the summer. Crypto maybe?
You look good Russell xoxo 💜 🫂 please take it easy while you are on those meds. I hope to catch at least 15 minutes of your live tonight at around 10:30 p.m. I wish I could watch the whole thing but Friday nights are not always good for me. I usually have company LOL hi to City Girl 🕊️🙏
Thanks! I forget, did you manage to get to Booxefest?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin
Safety first my friend 💜
I did make it only long enough to like your stream and then had to leave because I still had company LOL I hate missing your lives because they're so relaxing and fun to watch, funny too LOL
I mean ATV.. sorry.. we don’t have much use for them in England!!! Just umbrellas ☂ 😂
Never mind deer & bass Russ, you got beavers! 🤪
Yah that’s a real…. Super…. Benefit.
A tiny home sponsor how perfect. They should send you one for a guest house. Bagel sandwich yes please! You chose canned items to walk in ohhh my.... hilarious. There are so many funny jokes in this. That a boy check the food before you drive away. Gotta do it. Tip for a subway?! Just do your job. Lol holy crap cells on the back to catch reflected sunlight off the snow!?
Yeah, canned food. What was I thinking?
Hey Russel, great video and glad you are healing up from the operation.. If you buy another ATV do yourself a favour and buy a HONDA, pretty much bulletproof. Take care
I'll consider it, Dunk.
Love the picture of you and City Girl. Your haircut looks good, front and back.
Thanks Tmarie!
Well,. I think you need 2 ATVs for emergency use etc. What if.....??? Lovely fall colors in this video. The dam is the beavers choice. Cause they are to darn energetic. Ha. They are fast workers. Be safe. 🍁💕🕊️🎃🍁
Janet I think when City Girl is here fulltime we'll probably get a 2nd ATV, if we can afford it.
Darn squirrels! Causing all that flooding!
Hi Russell where does the water go when you open the beaver dam up?😊🎃
Jill, it does into the next beaver pond.
Haircut is nice! Enjoyed your video and appreciate your work producing it. Stay safe!!
Thanks Angie!
tried to tell you when you started. if they can hear water escaping, they work untill the sound stops.
Well I'm so happy you tried to tell me something I've known for 30 years.

I can see you need the ATV .Also those Beavers keep you busy ,It's a beautiful spot where you live...Greetings HR
Hey Russell , save some $$$ and get a piece of vinyl from an upholstery shop and recover your seat for much less ! Also those Beaver need to go , they will rebuild every night All night as long as they can hear water running
I guess I need to find an upholstery shop, Ann.
All of the Subway restaurants here split tips at the end of the shifts with everyone on that shift. I completely disagree with that, and I try to slip the tip to the person I want to give it to if I can. If not I don't do it at all.
What an inconvenience not having the Atv. You should pick up a used one as a backup. Glad to hear you’re feeling better
Thanks Geoff. In fact, I'm picking my ATV up Monday because they still haven't gotten to it and I need it.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin omg that’s not good customer service at all. Maybe the Wizard can help you out!
Greetings from Tehachapi CA, I truly appreciate your Vlogs.
Keep them coming, I watch daily.
Your health is primary. Yes! City Girl has her own vid Congrats !
You've been inspirational these past two years (Pandemic)
😷😕😉🤗😇 Best Regards , TTFN Cheers
Thanks Garey!
Good luck with the ATV!!
Thanks Bohanigan!
Ya those BP meds along with any other meds for your heart can limit your physical output and make you feel like crap most days....And yes 1 hour a day of walking and healthy eating will keep that waistline looking trim. I walk my 10,000 steps 6 days a week rain or shine....
Jed, I have a friend who started the 10k steps thing, did it for 10,000 days in a row without missing a day. He’s fighting fit.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin It really works great for losing weight and many other health benefits, I think it took me a month or less before I started seeing the results....
