    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 😊

    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❤
