    You guys should do a gravity fed water system. If you have a high enough point for your tank it’s really easy and makes life a lot more bearable. Unless you like a dry cabin in which case I’ll shut my big mouth and enjoy the show.

      First time viewer and that was my thought also! Pipes freezing would be a problem. Don’t know where the water table is but a hand pump inside the house would be so convenient especially during the canning or hunting season. Nice that it can feed and sleep so many people.

Quyana (Alaskan Yupik "eskimo" for thank you!) Glad to see people out there STILL have that old school respect! Nowadays, all I hear is "for all the haters out there...blah blah blah" 🥴 keep up the great work you do! Would be fun to see more planting, caring for and harvesting of your garden, along with canning what you grow!

    Using the porch around 3 sides of your house is extremely smart. Almost all other off-girders have a woodshed that are various distances from their cabin, IMO, this is not very smart. But you "nailed" it with the location of your wood. Needless-to-say, you derive many benefits from the location

      Mice are the biggest risk emerging from woodstacks. If they identify the cabin walls as potential shelter or food source they will gnaw all surfaces until they find or create a gap. They love nesting under floors within insulation. As their droppings accumulate rats will be attracted and if there is a fresh water within c. 100 yards they'll establish nests and work in rotation to gnaw their way in. Stack wood away from the cabin in a covered wood-stand and keep porch and decking swept to DELAY the inevitable. To woodland rodents you're essentially creating their Nirvana🐭

    I had a 20x24 cabin at 9800ft on Pikes Peak in Colorado for 13 years. I started with a wood stove but quickly figured out getting up at 3am to add wood was going to be a pain. I replaced it with a propane stove that had a thermostat, a 100lb propane tank would last 11 days in the dead of winter that propane tank also heated a normal 40gal hot water heater, propane dryer and cooktop. I had 2500 gals of cistern water and used a simple sump pump to pump water to the shower, sink and toilet. I had a 4500watt inverter and small battery bank like you with a backup generator if the batteries ran out too fast. Love your place, enjoy the simple life while you can.

      True. But there's never seems to be enough. I'm always cutting wood and I always viewed a portion of the porch stash as untouchable in case I'm flat on my ass unable to cut from sickness or injury or general lame ass syndrome. I call it the "strategic reserve" and as such the porch stash is precious.

      We cut woods in winter for many reasons. First, the sap is gone, so it'll dry much faster. Second, it's much easier to drag timber on snow than on dry ground in summer. Third, there's no mosquitoes. We then cut the wood and let it air-dry for one to three years before using it.

Might I suggest one of those -- I don't know what you call it -- but you could screw a handheld shower nozzle onto the spigot in the shower to control the water by hand. This would be more water efficient for a military-type shower. I'm sure you all have considered that. I'm just throwing it out there. Lastly, I bet you all have a marvelous time and are making lifetime memories when you go to the cabin!

    Wow what a beautiful cabin/property you guys have. I live off-grid in the mtns of Colorado. Snow is the biggest issue when using solar panels. May I please make a suggestion for mounting your solar panels. Move the panels slightly beyond the edge of the roof, maybe a foot higher than the roof, so the snow from the panels will fall to the ground rather than pilling up on the roof. With them a foot or so higher the snow from the roof can pass below them. I put a piece of PVC pipe on the handle of a shop broom extending it 15', this gives me the ability to clear the panels from the ground. At 79 years old I don't like ladders LOL ! Best of luck to you guys and take care of each other......🙂

    Last couple videos I saw from you guys was getting things ready for a garden and then that hellacious storm hit and caused the devastation and you were cleaning up. Honestly I checked the channel over the next month or two and didn’t see anything. I’ve gotten no notifications about any of the videos. Past few days I kept getting this video in my feed. Took me a few days for it to tickle my old brain into remembering hey I know living simple. Refreshed and stilll had to go search for this video. lol. Anyway so happpy to see this video and I’ve got some catching up to do ! Take care and much love from Maine

      Yea I was pretty bummed ! Figured the clean up from that storm made you rethink UA-cam. But always really liked what you were posting. So happy that I have some catching up to do. Gonna try to take my time and not binge but no promises. Lol. Always appreciate the responses 😁

    Looks great, solar vacuum water heater would be my next purchase. Could you store rain water for flushing and washing - snow in a tank for cooking? Here in uk they used Ice house pits for refrigeration and snow tanks for fresh water.

    • @living.different

      We aren’t here full time so bringing water when we come up , isn’t a big deal right now 💦

      I suppose no use over facilitating if you are using occasionally. If your batteries went from 60% to 90% in an hour you might be able to also use a lithium Power bank, ecoflow, bluetti etc to store excess power in the cabin for entertainment or fans. I run my solar to 12 130 deep cycle 12v lead acid batteries then charge the lithium battery packs off these. Use for crock-pot slow cooker, fans, lights and charging laptops and phones. Lovely cabin and well edited.

    You may like to consider installing a good composting toilet-indoors for those inopportune times (bad weather etc). One bale of peat moss lasts me over 1 year as compost media.

    Super nice camp. Wondering how far away that lake is. For a water source, you could build a 5gal bucket filter system.

    • @living.different
      @living.different  9 місяців тому

      The lake is a bit far for a water system but we did dig a very big pond which we collect water from for dishes and showering 🙂

    I highly recommend the Jackery solar power generator system as a back up. For one thing it's portable. For your indoor composting toilet get a grow mat and set it on that the jackery would be perfect for that and keep it from freezing. We have the 1000 model but for you I would suggest the 2000 pro. Also you should look into the Sun Mar composting toilet. Doesn't require water or electricity and can handle a family of 4 plus quite nicely and bring your toilet needs in doors year around.

      Got that right. It's going to get down to -4 tonight, so I'm glad the wood is on the porch. Who cares what the neighbors think. My neighbor just had the oil truck fill up his tank. Hate to have that bill. O well stay warm.

    I'm watching for the first time. A dry cabin is something I find hard to deal with. Bringing in water from the outside doesn't work for me. I would have to have some kind of a pump well for water and a septic system to get rid of water / waste water.
    Everything else I like a lot. What a great way to live without interference from the outside. Fun
