Hey man I don't comment a lot on UA-cam but I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, and these videos with Al have really helped. Thanks again and I look forward to more 🙏
I just randomly stumbled on the channel. My impression of Al is that when he was told in school that energy wasn't free, he thought to himself, "not if you know physics." Using gravity and thermodynamics to replace pumps reduces wear and tear, and reduces system complexity. Truly genius.
This is what I think about when I think about living off of grid. I think more about returning to community rather than the actual experience. The idea that we would turn to one another again and help each other and get to know each other. This is such a kind, sweet video.
This one of the best videos on UA-cam for me. Thats a really Big title to give and have. But this video have all the things I like. Thank you so much for this video❤❤❤❤
Al certainly has things figured out, good on you for not letting this mans knowledge die with him. He is truly a treasure trove. I am truly jealous of this life, if the world stops he just goes on.
Great video. Love to see you and your friends living the "Off grid live style". Al's setup is amazing. Much love from Michael all the way from Denmark 🇩🇰
Diego And Al The old wood stoves were the first convection ovens because of the way they were designed they're circulate the heat around the box and Diego you can take a hot water tank or if you could find a cast iron one you can line that with copper tubing that they use in an air conditioner can an outside air conditioner and hooked that up and have the water go through and it will heat it heat it up from the stove it will naturally circulate come in from the bottom and go out the top into a holding tank My grandparents they had the water jacket on their stove on the outside then they had a hundred gallon hot water tank that shut off to the side there and it was a tank inside of a tank and it was insulated with asbestos cuz that's what they used in the old days and the inside tank was stainless in the outside tank was just steel they would heat up the water and it would last up to 2 days before it cooled down to where it was uncomfortable if you were taking a bath just something for thought
Al is one smart cookie , He would be the one to talk to about going off grid , He has a beautiful property with water source to use for the cabin , tree,s to use for firewood, His wood burner stove is Epic ! and so much more . Love how he has a couple outhouses great idea I feel. love the sauna and other building's . The interior is cozy, love where his kitchen table sits next to the large windows overlooking the water how epic, Al would definitely be an individual i could talk to all day. One would never know how old Al is . Al is living a very healthy lifestyle . I love this guy. London, Ontario, Canada.
You guys have an awesome relationship, learn what you can from Al wile you can. people like him with the knowledge he possesses are few and far between
Love this series! I'm moving to the PNW soon and this gives me a ray of hope to continue pushing to get up north and live closer to this type of lifestyle. Amazing. Thank you Diego and Al
Where all geting slower al so dont feel bad lol & its a good thing you do to help each other out.thats a nice cook stove and hot water set up hes all set up
These videos are a wonderful testimony to a life lived well. I love your videos. Al's been doing it much better than we did. I baked bread in a wood burning stove for 17 years and over 30 years later I still long for wood heat again. Makes the best baked goods. You get to know your wood. I heated an old iron on the top for ironing things I sewed on the treddle machine. Very remote homestead living in BC, near Big Bar Canyon.
The water situation could be improved by installing a tank above the roof but still taking advantage of the gravity feed. The tank would have a float switch so that when you use a certain amount, the water would flow into the tank at the flow it can manage, but allow you to have good tap flow. Great video and inspirational for me 😊
What an absolute gent I’m loving als posts from the uk and I’m inspired by his way of life I’d love to live off grid what a fantastic neighbour to have ❤ you have a beautiful life al
I have only gotten half way through this video, and watched part of another, but what stateis this? Looks very similar to where I live in Vermont. The one thing Al needs, I think, is a good hand pump for his holding pond when water is low. Just to get water to the house. Just a thought. Many live just like this where I am from and live. Back in the woods in Vermont. Love the channel so far.👍 Should set up a go fund me or something for Al. I never have donated money, but thats because I haven't seen anything really worthy in my mind. Id love to donatw towards a hand pump or whatever necessity for Al. I appreciate his life and how he chooses to live it.
We are in Washington. I'm from New Hampshire & my 1st wife was from Vermont. I have a new hand pump that I've had for 20 yrs - never needed it. But thanks
Absolutely enjoyed. Thanks for such enjoyable content. I’m so glad you are taking time to document Al’s alternative living…what looks like great living! Can’t wait for more.
Al is the very best kind of friend you could have. Do you ever drop off a care package of food for him? Excellent videos and I look forward to the next one.
I remember going to Mountain St Helens back in '97 and loved the nature around there. Spectacular and wild. Congrats on all of you who get to enjoy that beautiful place on earth.
Another amazing video. Al's a legend. We can learn so much from each other. Thanks for this inspiring video. Keep up the amazing work. Have the greatest day ever, love and peace.
Love the doggies and future bit at the end 😂. A very peaceful and informative video. I’ve actually never been up to that part of his spring. Really neat screen system.
@diegotrieshard hey Diego tell Al i said "take me to the Magistrate" he'll know what I mean. I don't know him and i used to live in that county. Heard all about "Al" and always admired him for saying that that day. Thanks, Eddie
Really good to watch these videos Diego. I have been doing remote camping in the Thompson Nicola Region (Kamloops BC area) on my own and have staying out longer and longer. Eventually I would like to make the same move you did. I look forward to more videos
Very cool video. Wonder if AL gathers truffles, mushrooms, ginseng and deer for food. I didn't see a garden so maybe he just drives into town for groceries.
Everything was great until the, double shitter. No thank you on the crapper. I like my privacy, even if my lady was next to me, hahaha Great video once again.
Poor Al trying to live a beautiful peaceful life yet dealing with the effects on nature we have caused. I too want to break away into this life in the next few years, before I am 50 for sure.
Typically girls-women are quick learners, starting the stove kindling from the top isn't brilliant its fundamental...& males- will typically complicate things...its likely due to us men being stronger in the reaction category of our brain instead of having the sensitivity normally associated to females strong suit ...top down= female, bottoms up= males. Hand busineses & running governments over to healthy compassionate, focused, sober,rational, deep feeling & deep thinking women, the wars will soon come to a screeching halt, more love will bloom, logic, pride & kindness will become more the norm❤
Hey man I don't comment a lot on UA-cam but I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, and these videos with Al have really helped. Thanks again and I look forward to more 🙏
I must say that you are not alone, I feel the same exact way. Take care.
How are you feeling right now? Hope you're OK! Not feeling great here either. Fingers crossed for a better outlook soon for all of us!
Same here and was surprised more people hadn't seen this video. Ye make people happy
I just randomly stumbled on the channel. My impression of Al is that when he was told in school that energy wasn't free, he thought to himself, "not if you know physics." Using gravity and thermodynamics to replace pumps reduces wear and tear, and reduces system complexity. Truly genius.
Al and his property are a gem. Thanks for sharing and hope to see more of Al's life ..
Al is amazing what a soul, you are so lucky to have a neighbor like Al❤
This is what I think about when I think about living off of grid. I think more about returning to community rather than the actual experience. The idea that we would turn to one another again and help each other and get to know each other. This is such a kind, sweet video.
Al's place is literally a dream home for me. coolest off grid home ive seen and by far the coziest. pacific northwest just hits different.
Thanks for letting us keep up with The Diego and Al show!
Al is a wonderful professor, engineer and man of exquisite taste, thank you for sharing his life's work with us
This one of the best videos on UA-cam for me. Thats a really Big title to give and have. But this video have all the things I like. Thank you so much for this video❤❤❤❤

hi Diego I want to visit al's place ...beautiful place
I too have a good old friend called Al, met him when I started doing traffic control, taught me more than anything they taught us doing my ticket.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THANK YOU AL FOR SHOWING US AROUND‼️ I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Great video. Love to see you and your friends living the "Off grid live style". Al's setup is amazing. Much love from Michael all the way from Denmark 🇩🇰
Coffee is natural. Technically booze too.

OH, that's on the Fraser River.

Thank you Diego for sharing Al, that man it is a Treasure......!

Great and inspiring video, guys!! I am loving Al's set up big time!
Love the doggies and future bit at the end 😂. A very peaceful and informative video. I’ve actually never been up to that part of his spring. Really neat screen system.
I really like these videos and appreciate your attention to the details. Great to get some ideas in case I need to use them in the future.
I absolutely love these videos, you're doing a great job man keep em coming !! Now to binge the rest of the videos i havent watched :D

Really good to watch these videos Diego. I have been doing remote camping in the Thompson Nicola Region (Kamloops BC area) on my own and have staying out longer and longer. Eventually I would like to make the same move you did. I look forward to more videos
Diego I want to visit that wonderful place 😍😀
Please let Al tell us about his life some more
Lemme know should you ever see property for sale in the area. Great video.
These videos are so great thanks 😊
AL LOVES DB COOPER
Heads up for the future, always eat breakfast before going to a hermits house for breakfast 😂😂😂
😄
Diego, Tim Currier who Al knows recommended rain water collection system as a back up
Hi Tim
Very cool video. Wonder if AL gathers truffles, mushrooms, ginseng and deer for food. I didn't see a garden so maybe he just drives into town for groceries.
I grow a few things, don't hunt
One thing that’s on all of our minds…. Where does Al’s Income for groceries come from?
Al is a legend!
Investments & Social Security
between you and Wranglerstar I'm pretty convinced the Washington country side is ideal
cara q massa viu, parabéns
Lokked online for one of those wood cook stoves. And boy they are not cheap. They are between $5,000 to $7,000 dollars.
Nice.
Everything was great until the, double shitter. No thank you on the crapper. I like my privacy, even if my lady was next to me, hahaha Great video once again.
I was thinking the same thing. lol.
I think one is for urine and the other crap so they don't mix and smell.. but 2 people could use them at the same time I'm sure Al won't mind ..
@@OrionMcKay1 i know your wrong!
It’s great when you can learn from older more experienced minds and then help with tasks that are getting difficult for them .
It worked great for potty training the kids
Hope the water levels rise some more, I heard him say he needs rain, I pray it rains for the man and the sake of living
We had some rain. All is well
@@albutterfield712 awesome!
In the uk they are trying to ban wood stoves,in Ireland they have banned all internal fire places
What did Al do when mount saint helens erupted in the 1980’s? I was living in southern Ca. and my car was covered in ash.
Watch my life story, part 5
No pest walking around in kitchen.. interesting..i would love to see how he lives

Poor Al trying to live a beautiful peaceful life yet dealing with the effects on nature we have caused. I too want to break away into this life in the next few years, before I am 50 for sure.

Baken is healthy, it contain natural fat acids good for you artery washed them inside natural fats are good for Ells age ,coffe I love coffe
You have bigles
Mennonite have stoves like this,you can foun them on Market or Kijij sure I was look for them
Which would be more expensive? Buying a new stove like that or buying a repurposed antique?
They don't build them like that anymore
