Bushcamp - Rain Water Collection System, Ramcharger Revival, Making Rain Barrels From Garbage Cans
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In this episode we installed a rainwater collection system on the Offgrid Cabin. We placed the gutters and downspout and then made rain barrels out of garbage cans to collect and hold the water to use at camp. We also got the dirty ol ramcharger going which was a blast for sure!
Join my dog and I at our wilderness homestead in the Canadian North. This channel features videos on off-the-grid lifestyle and building, trapline adventures, hunting, fishing, trucks and much more!
I live off the land in a self reliant and self sufficient lifestyle. The land provides me with everything I need. My offgrid cabin is solar powered, heated by a wood stove and most everything I eat comes from the land; fish, eggs from my chickens, and many different wild game species. The lifestyle I live is essentially expense free and blesses me with the opportunity to do whatever I please.
In the winter months we head out on the trapline and ethically harvest fur bearing animals. Through moderate and sustainable methods I snare and trap these animals and work on, and sell the pelts at auction which provides a decent income for me to invest in my off the grid homestead and lifestyle.

Hey friends, I hope everyone is well. It's raining here now and the system has been working great, no leaks or anything.
All the best
Sorry about the RAM. F150 will also run forever.
Dude your channel is defo one of my favourites but I was born in 84 and you just made me feel accient lol. Do you do much hunting? Will you do some hunting vids please but I genuinely love all your vids and you've done soo well for sombody soo young you really are living the dream 💚
Another great video! You can make any chore quite amusing!! Dog likes his ears rubbed same as mine.. Quite interested in your projects for the Summer!! You can tackle anything you put your mind to... Don’t ever change👍 Get your farm work done: enjoy your time with your pooch, maybe some fishing?
@@emma-it7cj LMFAO I thought the same thing, I'm almost over the hill now I was born in 81!!!!
No worries guys old for a truck but definitely not for a person
"She's f*cking luxury" "Dump some coolant into her and see if she'll chew" I come for these gems! Love your channel.
I was just thinking to myself.. this guy should make longer videos.. and then he throws up a 45 min video.. sweet!
Haha thanks my friend
This 45 odd minute video went extremely quick for me it was that enjoyable. Absolutely loving the content. And having your pooch in amongst it all is the icing on the cake. Looking forward to the next one👍. (Wait til you hear this old beast🤣😂)
Haha thanks a lot my friend I appreciate you watching and all the kind comments!
And then it finally stayed running when he DIDN’T say how good it was running. 🤣
Just thought I’d say hi to all the Karen’s complaining about protective equipment.
Another great video. Also ordered a tee shirt and coffee mug. Can't wait for them to get here!
That's awesome my friend I hope that everything is as expected and that they serve you well. Hopefully they get there soon but everything is pretty slow during this pandemic
Like seeing you live the life you have and always remember it goes by faster than you think. Enjoy it!!
Man, I love this guy...he speaks to my very soul. And I had an 86" RamCharger that still lives on my buddy Cory's farm. :)
Badass old truck. Worth fixing up.
I'm very interested in this guys trapping . He gets really nice furs
looks good man always need water
I have an 86 dodge pick up. It takes 30 to 35 pumps on the ole gas pedal. I turn the key about 4 to 9 times. My famous saying!
"First try every time"" !! Try it bro its hilarious.
"I ate too much ramen" That was awesome lol! You could always just paint the downspouts and cans to blend in. Dang, here I thought the Ram was gonna be doing some ramming, that thing sounds sweet! Don't care much for that mouse piss smell though....never have found a way to get rid of it. Take care
Love the bush life videos! Sure is getting nice out there now. Take care.
Thanks my friend I am glad you enjoy
“Gotta roll with the windows down or you’re gonna get carbon monoxide poisoning” 😂
What a laugh.....best channel on UA-cam hands down. Funny as F$&k😂😂😂😂
cheers bro apprectiate it!
Great vid lol it’s funny pooch is always waging his tail like you are constantly talking to him and not the camera lol to much to comment on in your vids but really enjoying the longer uploads bro 👍🏻 stay safe eh ✌🏻🇨🇦 ps what size is your acreage?
I dream of a homestead lifestyle, I'm 24 and I make a good living operating cranes. So for now I save, save, save. But one day... I'm gonna move to greener pastures and live like this gentleman here. I'm practicing doing what I can with my crazy work schedule. But I cant wait to go closer to full time.
God bless from Montreal
Buddy there’s nothing wrong with us helping you to continue producing great content.
Should get a 55gallon plastic potable water container for your rain water catch system. But install your drain spouts before placing your tanks in place. Your other one sitting on the ground built a wooden platform for it
Could use one high up for a shower too.
Looking good there. Great to see that water system up and hope you get some rain while you are away from camp. Love the older cars, they last and last. My 84' has been across the states about 6 times, pretty certain they run on love. Never had to replace nothing but the timing belt recently and when I did it was missing more teeth than an ugly cousin and she still got me another 1000 miles to get home and didn't crap out till I go right in town where I could get her repaired.
Once they started putting computers in them and making them out of rain gutters and old beer cans, shit went down hill. About being positive, man I wish I figured that shit out long ago like you did. No truer words, be happy for what ya got and change it if you don't.
Hello from Wisconsin. Thanks for the best laugh in a long time buddy. Starting the old Ramcharger was funny as fuck. Hearing protection lmao.
Haha thanks my friend
A Quick easily built pedestal to support your water tank up higher would provide an easy gravity water source for any future in cabin kitchen sink/tap also just wanna thank you for the great content and inspiration you have helped provide for me to get back to the basics and go off grid keep it up man
We just love you! You make us laugh so hard. Your cabin and hen house are awesome. And you're quite impressive with what you do at your age. ☺️
Thanks my friend I appreciate that and am very glad that you guys enjoy the videos
love your dog when your into a project , he says ,, ohh boy , here we go again , I'll lay down ...
I love you trapper!
And I mean that in a non- homosexuality way.
Chooch it!
Get about ten of those fucked up voltage regulators dodge thought were a good idea. Lol wreckers are running out but china makes by the boat load.. another great vid bud
Hey, not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but maybe check the rain barrel for any mice before drawing water - that's a spice you don't want. Those little bastards get into everything 🐀
That’s be the great thing with how they’re covered, should keep the little bastards out! Yup, found one in mine, thankfully when it was dry. God they were bad this year.
Thanks for this vid - I look forward to seeing new ones now. Cheers!
Hope you will keep making videos, mate! You're pure gold! Really, really entertaining to watch!
Why waste a good ratchet strap ,,,, a couple good raps of binder twine outta do the trick !!!
With all the carbon emissions going into the cab you should be able to get rid of the mice in it🤣😂🤣
That’s probably what happened to the one outside the door, made a run for it, too late, ahahaha. There’s times I have to rewind cause I’m laughing so hard.
Should put gutters on the chicken coup also make it easier to water them
Sell your pelts on your ebay store. Loyal fans will pay a premium versus selling them to a buyer. 👍🏻
Hey thanks bud I was thinking about selling a couple but would sell for fair pricw
Traplines and Inlines They are going anywhere from $69 to as high as $199

It really doesn't matter.
I like this guy.
Hey buddy great video as always. I got me an old truck and I love it too. To bad to see the old girl go but it happens. Keep safe out there👍👍
Thanks buddy I appreciate you watching
Dont worry Cougar is supervising. All is under control.
Oh man that was the longest wait for a video just found your channel bud 2 weeks ago and binged watched all your awesome vids .. Love the build going to be doing something exaclty like you thanks for putting everything from start to finish on the cabin.. Cheers from Elliot Lake Ont
Love your videos and lifestyle here in Alabama keep em coming my friend I'm hooked
Thanks my friend I am glad u enjoy
Thanks my friend I am glad you enjoy
the mouse likely died of carbon monoxide poisoning. hahahaha..... JK
Loving the longer vids, had some issues sleeping just threw this up in the background and out I went
Please don’t heat any food in it’s own can. Almost all tin food cans are plastic epoxy lined to prevent rust, and prolong shelf life. If you notice, cans are most often white or copper colored inside. That’s the epoxy you’re melting and eating with your beans, or soups, or whatever. Uncoated cans ended decades ago. Also, you need a way to filter birdshit out of your water. If you wait til you take a bucketful, then filter it through a screen, you’ll be drinking from a barrel of birdshit soup.
Lol, this is the biggest crock I've ever seen. Just Googled the shit. Why don't you give it a try eh? Epoxy lined food cans gtfoh.
Apparently your Google is broke, Tard. I’m trying to help a good dude keep from poisoning himself. Wait, I think I heard your mom holler that dinner’s ready.
Another simply Outstanding video. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids. God bless and be safe. Jim
Thanks my friend
Ur awesome, just like me and my friends...lovin the videos bud ..keep it up
Deadly bud those beens
Thanks buddy
If everyone was as smart and layed back as you the world would be a better place. Really enjoy your calm approach to everything bc im a basket case.
Hello from Ireland, I just came across your channel 😊 your a mad fucker😁great video 👍
Plot twists and poochie, is that his name? Gotta love a lab. This channel is deadly, thanks for taking the time for us! COVID pushed my OTG plans in overdrive, started with needless self isolation, all just earlier than anticipated. I’m also alone but wish I had enough sense to do it at your age. Loving living the dream, wrong nails, screws, brackets and all, lol. . Amazing how resourceful one becomes when town isn’t close. Thankfully, I at least have Google or I’d be NOWHERE! Thanks again for the improv and great ideas, (made me own outhouse thanks to you) my evestroughing is on the list for next Summer and love the spigot idea. RIP Ram.
I'm so excited to have found your channel! Been going through your video's for the past few hours... can't wait to see what's to come. 🇨🇦
Right on, stuck at work and you upload. Gonna be a good day.
Yeah but if you put on your hearing protection , you should be safe from the carbon monoxide poisoning ....
Haha nearly fell over
Do you have some kind of storage shed that you built? Where do you keep all of your tools and gear? For example-- when it rains, where do you put the generator?
Chooch.
A word that has entered my future vocabulary.
I'm going to work "loud as piss" in there too.
You make me laugh with your dont give a fuk attitude, only issue I have is how often you put out a video it needs to be more often lol
Haha thanks my friend and I'll work on that no worries!!
Hi Guy, Love your video's, How wide is your cabin? (thanks), have a great summer :)
Thanks buddy and it's 10x10 with 10x16 loft very small
If the trapping doesn’t work out you should be a car salesman,
Thanks for this! Your innovative and creative and I really enjoying watching your projects and how you figure it out! Love your dog!
Yeah, Coop seems like a super cool pooch
Thanks my friends
Pull the labels on your barrels off while they are easy to get off... if you leave them and then try to take them off, it is more difficult..... 😊. Your place is getting very comfortable... love it! 🌀❤️🌀
I love it. One thing to do with the rain barrels is add an overflow pipe. When they're full, that water will leak right next to the house, but if you add some hose near the top, extending maybe a few meters away from the cabin, it'll be golden. I'm excited to see future videos when you prop the cans up higher and make more alterations to everything.
You can buy a downspout adapter that changes the position of the downspout so it will run down the back edge of the house. Why you could even connect the two downspouts to meet in the middle of the house back wall then run into a single barrel, or have 2 barrels connected for in case of overflow if the first barrel is full.
Keep safe out there stay working or you wil go mad like the old trappers do im 60 and still at it till the next time
I have had a few old trucks I used for plowing snow when I was in my 20s that I had to have the windows open just to breathe lol... I'm 47 now and still alive lol
Great video as always. Those old trucks are great, but they do get awful gas mileage. I remember back in the early eighties when I was a little older than you are now thinking that new trucks were crap compared to older 60s and 70s trucks. 😂 I guess it’s a matter of perspective. I would love to have a truck like yours right now. I like your water collection system. It’s simple and will get the job done. Nice job.
Thank you my friend and they sure are great. My dream truck is an old ram charger with either 4bt or 12 valve cummins!
Hey buddy,
Ya know after looking in the shotgun seat of the RC yer rain barrels look mint beside the house, eh. Shame about supertruck but nothing lasts forever. U keep giving er. We'll wait for the next vid. 👍
Thanks buddy
You rock Canadian style
A small 12v submerged pump in your water barrel will be cheap as chips, can be linked to the solar power system easily and plumb it straight into the cabin for when you install your sink :)
LOVE THE TRUCK AND YOUR LIFESTYLE. IM JEALOUS!
Keep givin er, love the old thundertruck. Ramen is quick and easy. Water collection system should make things a bit easier, a good 2 or 3 foot long log would work well as a stand for your water drum. 👍
You need some SHUR FLO gutter screens to keep debris out , don't want all that trash going into your water supply .
DON'T buy plastic or the cheap metal screens [tiny diamond shape pattern] that Lowes Depot sells also get some 1/4'' zip screws .
Rain gutter business owner - says you did a real good job for a beginner , tip ; do the sealant work after end caps/jointed piece/elbow drop etc. is in place from the inside only .
Like/Subscribed/Noti'bell .
The rain barrels will help out alot. Nice job and you always manage to bring a laugh or 2. To bad about the Dodge.Take Care
It's possible you've blown the head gaskets / warped the heads by overheating the engine block. Hopefully it was just low on coolant :( Love everything you do, keep it up. It's great to watch...I've binged through the entire build so far and can't wait for expansion :)
Great vid, bud. Awesome community you have here. As I watch this on day of release, the vid has 3500 views and 82 comments. That seems like a crazy high ratio 👍
Thanks buddy and yes I sure do have a great viewerbase
You must be watching ziptiesnbiasplies Mint,just send it , Chooching and you put the old ram into the danger zone few times. If not keep up the videos bud. 👍
This was a video someone shared on Facebook...I like rainwater collection, and wanted to see your method. I didn't realize the video was 45 minutes long - not complaining.
I hit the "Subscribe button" the minute you fired up the old Ram. I am a GM (1990 S-15) guy myself, but much love for the old school iron - I was driving when that was the "Newest Model".
The Canadian humor tho - Best freaking part!
Tip: Stick a nail into the tip of your caulk tube it will keep longer and keep it from drying out and plugging up.
Always great to see you. The tree's are looking good with some color on them.
Love your love for the ram but damn I cannot imagine what that thing smells like inside wheewwweeee! All that bait. Lol
Hell yeah boy step on that gas pedal a lift and big wheels manual transmission and you have a badass truck 🤟
Awesome video man. Build those rain water barrels up on a pallet table or shelf. Keep up them uploads!!
Great vid..Hang in there on your projects..Like the Dodge, beast..And the water collection. Duces😎
I like the way you just get in there and do it... not to worry, it will work. And if not... then just fix it up!
Cabin is looking deadly man. Poochy is a great dog. Typical good lab. When I was your age I could eat like that too, never put on a pound, now, no way. Hope you find a good replacement for the Ram.
Thanks my friend! And yes very blessed to have him as sidekick!
paint the downspout. That's all it needs.
😂🤣😂, funny stuff. No internet, can’t do shit ! 😂
We need to send him a sharpie... would be deadly
Great video keep it going
Always great to watch your videos.your the best🤗
Another great show Brother! Always entertaining. Sorry to hear about the charger and see it go. It's been a tank. Best wishes my Friend!
Thanks buddy! Yea it's too bad but been a great investment. Congrats on the baby girl as well my friend!
@@TraplinesandInlines , thank the Brother!
Hope you find another dandy “standard 4WD old Girl” to meet your budget and your likin’!
Rain barrels should work great 👍
Good video as always
Thanks buddy!
Another damn fine video, sorry to hear about the RC, it is getting tough to find the good old trucks these days but then again you might get lucky and find a real good one at the price ya like too.
Thanks buddy and yea that's for sure!
Why not keeping the water collection.
You are slowly improving your house. 😎
Lookin mint bud ! That’s going to work great Keep givin er!!!
Thanks buddy
Another great video! I think you might need a bigger barrel or more of them. One side of my roof is about 4 times the size of one side of your roof, and I can fill a 210 liter barrel in 15 minutes in heavy rain, around one hour in light rain. And it looks like you get more rain than I do in average.
Love your channel!
Those little spigots would be nice for a garden hose for a small garden plot or even for a quick wash off when the water is warm.
Well if you can’t sell it for parts,could use it for bait!!!!lol!!!
Hey man, so much entertainment - from you sitting and chatting, to the action. Will you be doing more fishing videos? the one recently where you pulled fish out of the lake and ate them about 10 mins later was SWEET. Thanks for entertaining us!
For some reason I want a blue jean jacket lol
Once you own one.. you'll always own one! They break in to your body just like blue jeans they last forever
the ole canadian tuxedo.
@@phyllisstein1837 , I thought that was the mackinaw?🤣
whats up fella..! hope things are good
nest up a smoker lol
you need to build your self a small wood shed
Yeah, and a rake would help to clean up the scraps. It looks pretty rough
