I'm off grid in North Idaho. I heat with a wood stove. When I need to leave the cabin for a day or two, I have a Toyotomi oil stove that takes over heating my cabin. It burns agricultural or red dyed diesel fuel very efficiency. I got the stove recommendation watching "An Alaska Homestead" on UA-cam in their 2 part episode How to install a Toyostove. A great channel. So I now have a second source of heating that comes on automatically if I don't want to get up to tend the fire at 2 am. Very well made, simple, very little power required and it directly vents through a wall without a chimney required.
So nice that you have a faith something that is dying around the world my wife and I are doing are ministry as much as we can still waiting for our places of worship to open but zoom has allowed us to have our meetings every week looking forward to the time when the world will be a paradise again and all the wickedness will be gone Psalms 37:10,11
Got a lil hack for you. Scoop your ashes teeter the shovel left and right leave the coalin the stove then pour the ash and clinkers in the ash bucket. Now place the bucket safely on hearth and let them give you heat while they cool. Then dump. Now dont get me wrong i run mine none stop. So im doing this while the some coal remnants are ready to fire back up lil dry stuff and a log .
The onion factory reminds me of the Radium Girls. They were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint.
I love watching you videos you have made a very nice place . I have been watching your channel since you were living in a tent till now. You guys are great love seeing your son and daughter they have grown my goodness. I’m from West Virginia
I saw the thumbnail to this video and thought something happened to the Tundra! I own a Tundra and have had no problems the past 6 years! Glad to know it was for show!
It' is always fun to get away during the winter.. happy anniversary as well. And, I will again offer to look in on the place or help when you are in need. I'm just down the road. Blessings
You should be able to pull the knobs off on the stove top.🤣🤣🤣 Sounds like y'all had an awesome trip. I'm glad. The only thing that ruins a trip quickly is an emergency. One day I hope to have my giant RV parked in your RV spot. So, be thinking about a 50 AMP outlet, please. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello Johnson family🖐 good to see you again. Pretty pink water in your toilet. Lol That was a cute pic. I thought you broke down. 🖐🙏God Bless you take care & stay warm. They do have foil liners to put in the burners. ✌✝️🙏🇺🇸
When the paths get icy, it's good to have some dry ashes to spread on them The trees are small. You can cover them with sheet plastic, tarps, chicken wire, etc.
UA-cam really does wonders, it brings us all so close even though you're thousands of kilometers away. Looking at ya'll all togged up with that snow vs the 35 degrees in Johannesburg South Africa this afternoon is so cool. Really enjoy the channel and progress. Please continue to keep it real.
So good to see Tux having the trip as well!! we have here in Australia foil protectors that go under each gas burner and I use them all the time and I have bottled gas like you have so I know it's safe. They do last a good amount of time too and you can wash them and re-use them. Try Walmart, Lowes, or some other big store that carries cooking accessories. PS Happy Anniversary to you both!!
I worked in a warehouse like you said that would do Onions . When it was time to do the onions ( on a big machine ) all the crew would go on break except for 1 guy who would do the onions .
I REALLY WISH YOU GUYS WOULD PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! HARNESS YOUR LITTLE DOG TO A SEAT BELT STALK. YOU CAN BUY THEM AT ANY PET STORE OR WALMART. HE WOULDN'T SURVIVE A CAR ACCIDENT & THAT WOULD UPSET NOT ONLY YOU GUYS BUT ALL OF YOUR VIEWERS TOO. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia. (P.S. you would get fined here in OZ for not having your dog tethered)
I just saw something you really ought to see. I was watching Lumna Acres on UA-cam. They are also making videos on building off grid. They are in Vermont and it is snowing there. You are ahead of them as they are just starting sheetrock. They discovered a non-sponsored product called Blind Mark. You can see it on their video: Here We GO!!! The Calm Before the STORM | Building Our OFF GRID House in the WOODS - UA-cam The product they found is to locate electrical boxes when installing sheetrock. It worked so fantastically on their first try that I bought one as I will be sheet rocking soon. Too bad they didn't have a link because they received no influencer's reward for my purchase. Check it out at the following three points in the above video 20:50, 24.35 and 26:20. Did the Moose get much of your fruit trees while you were gone?
I never bothered with burner trays that you buy, I just folded up several layers of tin-foil and moulded into place under the trays and then replace as needed. It goes into recycling and a new 'tray' is installed. You might try hanging bags of mothballs from the fruit trees. Some animals hate that smell. You will probably have to end up bagging that moose. Now that they know that food source they will come back again and again if you don't.
The knob should all just pull off your stove for cleaning. It makes it much easier to clean behind them. Just pull them off and throw them in warm soapy water.
Martin, one week away from home? Jesus, that must be very cold when you come home. I hope all went well for your family. Stay safe and healthy and god bless you.
I've been to Indonesia. I have family there. It's beautiful if you have a comfortable life. But fruit is so abundant and grows all over. I love it. My favourite fruit is rambutan.
We used to put tin foil under the burners. Once they started putting those bowl thingies under each burner... We wrapped THOSE in tin foil. LOL You can always toss the tin foil. Sometimes what drips, stains anything that you have under the burner.
I used to have to take customers to visit Gills Onions in Oxnard CA and I always cried like a baby. I'm sure it was fascinating but I could never see anything the entire tour. Meanwhile the employees just worked like it was nothing. We did some frozen onions at a plant we had in GA. We were having a meeting in the plant one day, not on the production floor, and the owner said we looked like a bunch of college kids smoking dope with our eyes red.
Your ashes should go in the compost pile. Think like a forest fire that clears the under brush and makes the forest healthier. All that carbon helps enriched the compost. Yes just like that.
@Marty Man, The property is big enough and with family building skills you could build a smaller building away from main house as a air B & B? just a thought? Love ya guys.
Good evening. Hope you get all the water out of your lines, so they don't freeze. Safe travels. Can't you take the nobs off the stove and clean it then. Have Anniversary to you both.
Congratulations on your anniversary! Love that you're not ashamed of your faith in YAHUSHA HA MASHIACH ( JESUS CHRIST)! That is the reason why our HEAVENLY FATHER Keeps Blessing your family! Keep up the awesome work! Love you all in Christ Jesus! 😊
I wonder if an electric fence will keep the mooses (meese?) away. I've been zapped before and while it was far from deadly (at least, the one I touched), it was also pretty unpleasant, and might persuade them to eat elsewhere.
Why don’t you add an access point on the external side of your home , this will stop the need to keep moving your compressor in and out of the crawl space. Great content as usual
How come you guys didn’t put a wood heater in garage and suit? Even with furnace you can save on gas if you burn a bit of wood when someone is in there
A tip to clean your stove. Items you'll need. Papertowel, Saran rap, amonia, blue grade scrubber sponge (this type of sponge will not scratch the enamel of most stoves, check your manufacture for cleaning instructions), scrub brush with plastic scraper. Step one: cover the stove top with papertowel (works best with a sealed stovetop), Step two: saturate the papertowel with amonia, Step three: Seal the stovetop with saran wrap overlapping the saran wrap to cover the entire stovetop (this is to seal the stove top so the amonia dosen't evaporate and to keep the amonia smell out of the kitchen), Step four: Let it sit over night and the next morning remove the saran wrap and papertowel, using the sraper side of the brush with the blue scrubber sponge clean the stove top. The baked on food should come off easily. Repeat or let the amonia set for 24 hours. Step Five: Rinse the amonia off the stove top.
those silver things underneath your burners are called pie plates and you cut them to fit and you get them at a dollar store or some kind of supersaver for cheap and when they wear out you just change them for cheap they are made out of thick tin foil
You can usually pull knobs off of appliances to clean behind them. They are just friction fitted.
I'm off grid in North Idaho. I heat with a wood stove. When I need to leave the cabin for a day or two, I have a Toyotomi oil stove that takes over heating my cabin.

The sleeping dog lying on your lap is adorable, just like a little child on a car trip sleeping secure on mommies lap..

Glad you didn't get Covid on your trip. Stay safe! All the best to you and yours! Cheers from Texas!
I saw the thumbnail to this video and thought something happened to the Tundra! I own a Tundra and have had no problems the past 6 years! Glad to know it was for show!
Tux is a good traveler. He is really dozing.
She would have no problem getting a ride with her bright smile. Lol
Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a good day. We miss your daily videos. I was wondering where you was just today. Safe trip but I bet your home now.
that's just so typical, dog crawls to the front, makes a bed and out to it !
Your family is beautiful. Thank you.
It' is always fun to get away during the winter.. happy anniversary as well. And, I will again offer to look in on the place or help when you are in need. I'm just down the road. Blessings
That thumbnail did trick me, thought you guys broke down. Holy smokes! That’s a lot of driving! Hope you had an awesome trip 😃
You should be able to pull the knobs off on the stove top.🤣🤣🤣

True but it makes a mess.
Tux is absolutely precious laying there. It was funny b4 Julie let him up there to lay down,he kept sizin her up like "where can I lay down"😂😂

You guys building the house and doing it all as a family is inspiring!
Congratulations on 21 yrs I personally am on 37 yrs. Love your videos

Thanks for answering my question!! I saw my name on screen !! That's cool !! I made cyber news ....
Lol :)
With all of life's challenges, we learn for the next time. Keep on going.
Wow love the music at the big meeting…powerful!
Good afternoon. Beautiful day. Virgil and I are recovering from covid. Didn’t hit too hard but tired us out.
Surfing in Idaho really does happen. In the Southern part of the state near Boise they surf in the rivers when it goes thru the water gates. Fun
So good to see Tux having the trip as well!! we have here in Australia foil protectors that go under each gas burner and I use them all the time and I have bottled gas like you have so I know it's safe.

Congratulations on your anniversary,we are about to have our anniversary at the end of May,it will be our 53rd year.
I’m glad you had fun at FHU. I sat right behind you in open forum on Monday!!
Great stuff! Love the intro, the road trip footage, everything.
Hope you got home safely!

Happy Anniversary! Love the videos!
Tennesee, there is a guy who built olso a off grid cabine in the great smoky mountains, Smoky Mountain Outpost.
Gr from the Netherlands
Hello from Tennessee! I am about 90 miles NE of Nashville.
Happy anniversary guys!!!

Did the Moose get much of your fruit trees while you were gone?
Haha, so glad someone asked about morgning, I'm danish, and to me it sounds like you're saying it in danish - "God morgen" :)
The dog makes me want to take a nap and I just got up a couple of hours ago lol.

Tux looks so peaceful on mom lap
Thank you guys for the info on the stove. I can deal with the cleaning as the long as the oven works lol.
Tux fast asleep bless him😊 love watching you guys from england x
Hello ros
nice video and julie you have amazing lovly laugh have a nice day greetings from the netherlands you guys rock
If you save your ashes, they work great spreading them on icy walkways.
Happy wedding anniversary 🎉🙏🏽
You dog is adorable all crawled up there on your lap. I wonder if his friend missed him.
You can use pie tins like I used to use when I couldn't find the right one
Cleaning tip; turn off the fan when removing the ashes from the stove..... I've had to learn that lesson a few times over the years.
lg
You should have put antifreeze in the washer's drain hose to protect the pump because it doesn
't drain fully. Just sayen.
Happy anniversary! That was a nice way to celebrate!
Hello all and Happy Anniversary
The knob should all just pull off your stove for cleaning. It makes it much easier to clean behind them. Just pull them off and throw them in warm soapy water.
Martin, one week away from home? Jesus, that must be very cold when you come home. I hope all went well for your family. Stay safe and healthy and god bless you.
I've been to Indonesia. I have family there. It's beautiful if you have a comfortable life. But fruit is so abundant and grows all over. I love it. My favourite fruit is rambutan.
Morgen is the German version of morning (and also: tomorrow). Maybe you're channeling some German :)
Hello Nicole
We used to put tin foil under the burners. Once they started putting those bowl thingies under each burner... We wrapped THOSE in tin foil. LOL You can always toss the tin foil. Sometimes what drips, stains anything that you have under the burner.
Good to see y'all again
Woops ok you answered my question just a minute after I asked, my bad buddy😂😂
I used to have to take customers to visit Gills Onions in Oxnard CA and I always cried like a baby. I'm sure it was fascinating but I could never see anything the entire tour. Meanwhile the employees just worked like it was nothing.
We did some frozen onions at a plant we had in GA. We were having a meeting in the plant one day, not on the production floor, and the owner said we looked like a bunch of college kids smoking dope with our eyes red.
Since you guys burn mostly softwood Pine in your wood stove how often do you have to clean a chimney
HOWdy JOHNSONS,
Day-To-DAY CHORES (maintenance)
MOOSE-TRACKS on the FRUIT Trees !
COOP
...
Great video! Pak Martin gettin bold tho😂👍🏻
Your ashes should go in the compost pile. Think like a forest fire that clears the under brush and makes the forest healthier. All that carbon helps enriched the compost.
Yes just like that.
Ashes are good compost for potatoes 🥔
loved this use of your 'travel time'
Happy Anniversary👍🤗❤
Rumah idaman👍👍👍
prayers for safe travel.
Get yourself a Solar Electric fence to keep the animals out.
@Marty Man, The property is big enough and with family building skills you could build a smaller building away from main house as a air B & B? just a thought? Love ya guys.
Happy Anniversary
Good evening. Hope you get all the water out of your lines, so they don't freeze. Safe travels. Can't you take the nobs off the stove and clean it then. Have Anniversary to you both.
I hope you put at least a quart of anti-freeze in your washing machine and disconnected your dishwasher supply line. If you have a dishwasher.
I have heard someone says "why don't have a sawmill?'. I'll say "you use enough log to keep the house warm".
Congratulations on your anniversary! Love that you're not ashamed of your faith in YAHUSHA HA MASHIACH ( JESUS CHRIST)! That is the reason why our HEAVENLY FATHER Keeps Blessing your family! Keep up the awesome work! Love you all in Christ Jesus! 😊
I am pretty sure that the wash machine will have places where water is trapped unless you blew it out too
You can get used oil pipes and 8 ft fencing that will keep the deer out. Don't know about moose.
Hi Martin like your videos and stuff
You might want to get electric wire primer one is a good electric wire and fence
Hey guys if you go to Dollar Tree they have those stove trays to catch all the mess for your stove. They are as it says $1.00
GOD BLESSINGS OVER YOU
I wonder if an electric fence will keep the mooses (meese?) away. I've been zapped before and while it was far from deadly (at least, the one I touched), it was also pretty unpleasant, and might persuade them to eat elsewhere.
Try using salt instead of anti freeze.., this will stop you flushing chemicals and it’s got to be cheaper .
Walmart has foil ones to line stove burners with.
The size that fit our stove?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving its just heavy foil so you could cut them smaller with scissors
We have a unique propane stove in our off grid home. Sparky, batteries have been going strong now for over four years.
Why don’t you add an access point on the external side of your home , this will stop the need to keep moving your compressor in and out of the crawl space. Great content as usual
How come you guys didn’t put a wood heater in garage and suit? Even with furnace you can save on gas if you burn a bit of wood when someone is in there
What kind of security cameras are you using? Just found your channel.
Where have you been? I’ve been waiting forever for you guys to come back on. Love watching your videos
We are here!

Dang you should have came on to Georgia.. i could have seen you guys...
those silver things underneath your burners are called pie plates and you cut them to fit and you get them at a dollar store or some kind of supersaver for cheap and when they wear out you just change them for cheap they are made out of thick tin foil
Ashes are good for your garden
You forgot the drain pump in the washing machine ? !
Yeah, I hope they drain that pump in that washing machine too. It's not that hard to replace though.
Yeah but wil make a mess if not caught in time
What about the water pump in the washing machine?
i cover the top of mine with tin foil when i cook the chuck it when dirty
