Current administration could give two flying turds about them.
I really have enjoyed all your videos. You have a soothing voice and great personality. Can't wait for the next posting.
Tail up like that means Mr. Ramsey is very happy. And the way he "booped" you was adorable.
He struttin..😂🤣😂😁Goofer, loves his water fountain.
Love the go go cart and the cozy cabin.
That Ramsey is a good cat. He minds better than any cat I’ve ever seen. Great video!
u r always so busy! good job.
Good way to live take care of chores and being care free 😊
I love watching your videos it takes me from my issues. Plus you are so funny, love Ramsey and Rory❤
Hi Jenna, Rory 🐈⬛, Ramsey 🐈 👋🏻Hope you're doing well my friends 😊Have a wonderful weekend 🌞God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always! 🫶🏻
You can usually find rubber gasket strips that will fit under your door. You can put them on with screws and a drill, use silicone or construction glue first. You can also Gerry-rig a rubber strip with an aluminum strip (flashing cut down) and screw that on even at angles.
I just love how resourceful you are. And you have the most adorable smile!
Agreed
You could spray a light coat of wd-40 on your generator , It will keep moisture out of unwanted places and keep the rust at bay it has many uses !
Change fuel filter, and air filter as well, we have a 13,000 watt generator and a 10,000 watt generator, as well as a 10,000 watt welder/generator. I change oil on one generator and have it on standby when the other one needs a service, my wife uses those for power on a mobile dog grooming trailer. Spend a small amount now to save a bunch later, I love your videos and how you live simple, yet have everything you need, and learn what you need to stay self sufficient. Keep it up.
Thank you 😊
I LOVE ALL OF IT, SOLAR INCLUDED
I really impressed with your awareness of your world around you. Keeping up with those things that make your life safe and fun.... Thanks.
Hi Jenna...I'm down in Florida, Last week we lost our generator to flooding..now we're expecting another hurricane, not sure what's next for us . One thing for sure..I'm getting to old for this. Love your videos , I feel so bad for folks in Tenn and NC . Stay safe up there...😊
Please be safe. I hope the next one stays away from you!
Milton is Cat 5 OMG
Wrapping my fresh water hose with pool noodles today. Figure it's better than nothing. Don't have a way of having a heated hose.
If you take a proper sized piece of threaded pipe, male both ends and take one end and put into female port of oil drain on generator, you can extend the drain and make much easier to drain. Just cap off with female cap. Did this on my snow blower, makes life a lot simpler and less messy! Great channel!
Thanks!
Learning alot from you in your Videos. I'm a fellow 'Scotian and my two sons decided they would buy Campers with their summer job money. My 13 year old bought a Pop Up, so easy peezy, just Spring, Summer and Fall camping for him. My 18 year old on the other hand bought a 28' Fifth Wheel. He plans on trying to live in all winter. Love that we found your Channel and can Prep for the Exact same issues you have (or don't have) lol. Appreciate you and your content 🤟
Thanks so much, love hearing this and wow, 13 with his own camper 😮, that's awesome, I would have been in heaven at 13 with that
@@gypsyjenna Right? Lol I feel the same way. If I could do it again I would be in a Camper on the road traveling... with the Tiny Home Movement and the way things are going here in Nova Scotia (and all of Canada) camper life is going to be the only life anyone can afford lol. I told them how much rent was, they did the math and realised 4-6 months of rent could buy them their own "Home"... so that's what they did lol. See you on the next one, stay warm! 🤟🇨🇦
@whitetrashandhellbound6905 you tought them well! 👍
@@gypsyjenna damn right he did
@@gypsyjenna I'm the 13 year old the oldest one of our he's younger brother and I have camper it's not winterized but I rather be in a camper then in a house
lol motion light Mr. S ??? I laugh because when you came to the tree across the path while out in the buggy my first thought was time to turn around 🙃
Great little life you have there … Keep on Keeping on 😊
if you can get some housewrap fragments or cut some cheap tarps up you can put a short flap over the housing of your generator to avoid further rust. OR scrub it with steel wool and vinegar and dab Rust-Oleum from the can. Or do both. I am expert on small amounts of rust.
All the best from New Brunswick Jenna !
⛵⚓🍻 Glad I found your Channel !
You're doing it Girl !
👍😀👍
YAHOO! The generator will be so happy no have fresh oil in it! I love the Aero mint chocolate bars myself, but I'll have to try that one sometime.
Summer does go fast, but at least you didn't lose all yours waiting for everything to get finished up in the province you don't want to be living in anymore LOL. I was planning on moving my trailer onto my property tomorrow, but it's been raining all day today, and it's supposed to do the same tomorrow. 😢
Hope you're looking forward to thanksgiving, it's next weekend. I wanted to do a turkey, but I don't think there's anyway I can fit a turkey in this camper oven lol. I picked up some turkey breasts, so I'll do those instead. OH, I was looking at propane stoves at the cabin depot, and I found one that I think I can get to replace the camper stove I have, then I'll have a full size stove!!! It only uses electricity for the ignition, and for the fan that is in the convection oven. Also, the oven has A LIGHT!!!! lol. I might have to invest in one next year.
Hope you're having a great weekend Jenna, and I hope your weather is a lot nicer than it is here this weekend.
Oh cool! I do think those little ovens will hold a small chicken at least! If you were willing to give up on the turkey 😅
Yes there are some nice smaller stoves/ovens that are still bigger than the RV ones. Thank you for all the oil change reminders! Haha, I need stuff drilled in my head sometimes because my ADD brain has my mind everywhere all at once! Glad it's over with, will do it again in Spring, orrrrrr pre winter next year! 🤣😂.
The weather here is overcast and misty but we honestly need rain so I'm kinda hoping for it!
Jenna, good call on getting the 5/30 oil. Cold weather makes a difference. Change it every 100 hours of service to extend the life of your generator.
Another real person video that I love and a real personality and of course the two boys❤ your one of my Canadian video that I will always watch and support ❤️ thank you genna😊can't wait till your next one🎉
I think that rust is the edge of the gas tank. Put rust converter on it b4 you get a leaky tank
Looks like a peaceful life ❤
Enjoyed the time with you!
Ramsey is adorable love that 🐈 what a personality ❤ I think he is the star of the show😊 but your the best you go genna❤.I love Canadians.what great people ❤️
😂 sure how I stumbled on your channel but love it! I started from the beginning. Really like the snowstorms, display of survival, and what it takes!
I use fully synthetic oil on my Mazda 3 hatchback and it is what you should buy at Walmart best anytime of the year cheers from oakville Ontario
You got threw some hard times just by waching your real personality and being a real person love it😂 you and me peas in a pod keep creating great content and your so funny love your channel buy the right oil next time LOL😅 you go girl❤
I'm currently in a stage of rust battle, still on grid got an old flood prone cottage. So wood rot and vehicle for . My current nemesis. Alot cheaper than rent or car payments. But if you let it go they got you. So rust reformer or any name then primer paint. Hold on longer . Wood anything underneath keep dry. I to a barely surviving
Another great vid ❤
Maybe keep a maintenance list ?
So Jenna....how many trick or treaters do you get.Probably in Canada the say....Trick or Treat aye..How bout some crullers you hoser.I always love the reruns of that old show SCTV with John Candy....Martin Short....Rick Moranis....Eugene Levy....Andrea Martin....Joe Flarhety....Cathein O'Hara....Dave Thomas.....and the rest .Back in the day....i thought that was way better than our SNL series....which still goes on but not as good as it was in the 70s.Thanks Jenna.....you hoser......
Nice afternoon for you. Generator ready for winter. Door sealed up. Enjoy the last moments of warmth. Have a great Sunday and week.
Thanks and you too!
dont throw away you change generator oils, used cooking oils, collect them and built a used oils cooking stove, it can used on outdoors to save you propane use
You should go with the 5w30 full synthetic….it’s only a couple dollars more..just for extra protection and if you don’t get to the oil changes right away
Indeed you have fixed the front door…😁
Red Green used to say duct tape is the handyman’s secret weapon, you seemed to enter a new contender with spray foam
damn u got that swag with that happy dad😂
It's cool seeing your cat outside not running away climbing trees or eating a bird I think he loves you Jenna here is kitty mama I'm glad you finally got a bonfire this year I remember when I was younger and my mother was dying she told me to remember her when we had a bonfire it's been so long since we've had one but anyway if I can not doing it I'm enjoy watching you doing thank you for your video
Awee, thank you for that story 💖
The designers of equipment like generators seemingly love to locate the oil drain plug right over anything that will spread the oil all over everything!
I would put some caulking over that foam you put in your door hole. Foam collects moisture and might rust the inside out again. Love the videos!!
Another interesting video, kid. Got a kick when you said, “I ate the whole thing”. Musta been chocolate.
Maintenence is important, self Maintenence is looking 🔥.
I always love having a open fire, its the first thing i do int he winter when im wild camping in the UK , have a great October. great video
Thank you Happy October! 🍂 🎃
Sweeeeet... homestead chores done, a Rrrrip on the quad, and a Fire... Well done GypsyGirl, 🏁🏁🤙🤙💙💙Be blessed🙏🙏🙏
Howdy there Jenna,
Nice to see you fixed the gap at the bottom of your door. That should hold it for a while.
Yep, looks like the oil in the generator needed changed all right 👍. My brother used to put 20W 50 in his pro street car back in the 80's. A bit thick but just right for a high horsepower, high r.p.m. motor.
I like the little cut scene with Ramsey and his fountain. No dialogue needed.😅
Nice little meal and beverage and ride on the buggy. Yea, not getting all the things done you plan to do in a year, is me, every year.😂 Just make sure you get your wood pile built up so you and the kitties can stay warm and cozy in the months ahead.
Yep, 'tis the season for all things spooky. 👻. You know what's coming up, your favorite part of the year..,no not Christmas.....The winterization of the trailer!!! A nip in the air and the beautiful smell of antifreeze. 😊
Take care and stay safe from the Samsquanches out in 'da woods.😊------Steve.
Thanks Steve, starting that woodpile is on my list! Winter is coming whether I want it to show it's dace or not!
Best to change the oil / lubricate everything / all maintenance and do what you need to before we get hit with snow. Have a great weekend !
Thanks, u too!
Hi Jenna, simple and fun video.......
Hi Jenna it's Tony I cannot believe that every week we both go through different things with our campers but this week I'm two days ahead of you I changed the oil in my generator 2 days ago I like to suggest that you do the same that I do I have a piece of plastic underneath may I also suggest that you have a covering over the sides of the shed that is it's in so that the rain and snow doesn't get to it but you will still have ventilation hey sweetie hopefully next week neither one of us have any dilemmas as always I will see you in the next video be safe take care of yourself and the cats may God bless you you know I am your potential BFF cuz we both have a lot in common we live in campers and deal with all the dodo
generator.. its been in the faraday cage a while. the non ethanol gas i know last up to 16 months. i stopped using the stuff.. gas extender stuff? anyways it is sticky messed up spark plugs so no more. the oil i change every 25 hours of use & its 15w50 mobil 1 synthetic. but its florida so hot as hell.
we got another hurricane soon. milton so it might get used if the power is out more than 12 hours & batteries run low.
i REALLY need to eat better..
that ride looked awesome 👍 i miss those days.. my friend had a old car lot hundreds of classic cars i got pics. plus all my old classic cars.. now i have a van.. no boats no honda 750 bike no oil truck or hot dog truck.. just a van & pics of past.
winter is almost here.. with the added hunga tonga moisture should double or triple whats been prior?
stay safe 🙏 i look forward to your next vid. glad your door got fixed 👍👍
A video i watched on generators the other day claims that you should always use small engine oil on generators . I didnt know that all these yrs , lol . Im gonna change mine in a few days and switch to that . Dont know how critical it actually is but the video i watched kinda convinced me . Just wanted to mention . :)
Thanks for the info!
You are a super trooper Jenna! I need to do my generator too. Check the air filter too. It doesn’t know what type of oil you’re putting in it. Would have been fine for atleast the next time you do this again. :):)
Jenna, All Your Videos are awesome.
Mostly Informative, Entertaining, Love the Cat's!!
Ramsey my Favorite 😊.
Enjoy the beautiful Fire, enjoy a few Brews ❤
First thing that caught my eye!! A simple Saturday?? This can't Jenna! lol I need a fire pit night! Oh, and a beverage! Have a good weekend!
Thank you, you as well! Light the fire and crack a cold one! 🍺
I love your setup.and a I am a fan. My mother was from Novs Scotia and I spent a lot of time there when I was young. My dream is to retire there and live an off-grid lifestyle like yours.
I suggest using synthetic in your generator.
Awesome! A Gypsy Jenna vidya to entertain us while we do stuff around our off grid RV home🐶🐶🤠. Today's chore involves branches, leaves, and very sticky fingers 😉
A good day to wear gloves! Gotta hate that pine sap, it's the gift that keeps on giving!
@gypsyjenna but it will protect the paint on your car for a lifetime 😂
Put a longer spout for oil drain, I did that for my lawn mower, looking good
I place a flattened cardboard from my Amazon boxes under my gas generator when ever doing my oil changes to catch any spoilage.
good idea too service your generator - a lot of people had generators south of you that wouldn't start after the storm that came thru last friday western carolina's to virgina!!
Yes, I need to do it more often, I can be bad with that
Yup people still don't have electricity here in South Carolina but up in North Carolina by lake Lure and the bat cave it's awful.
@chrisp308 very sorry to hear this, I hope things get better there very soon!
@@gypsyjenna I stopped to watch your video because watching things of all the destruction in NC,TN,SC, and my home state of VA was getting to me. Donated what I can, and can now only offer prayers. Thank you for giving us a reason to smile.
@Snickelfritz_ I sure hope things get better down there! A lot of devastation!
You should definitely do a bbq and chill at that lake spot before it get too cold
You might want to sand Prime paint the top of the generator where it is Rusted I believe that's the gas tank prevent problems down the road
That used oil can still be used if you buy those oil stoves for cooking.
Wow Rory is not skinny anymore, looking good. Aero Truffle that's not fair we don't have it here it looking so yummy.
If I lived there, I would build a closed in porch at one of your doors and put a washer dryer wood stove and a freezer. So you never track snow or mud through the rv, now that’s just what I would do, not telling you what to do with your home. I m having idea for my rv soon
Nothing like a fire on a fall evening! Thanks for sharing. ✌
Thanks for watching!
Have you ever used Lucas oil stabilizer,and they also have a 5w30,I swear, it's a magical product
Yep, I have!
As cold as it gets up there, I'd have figured you would use a 0W-30 or something..... easier cold weather start up and circulates easier in cold weather.....
Full synthetic would also help.
Yes, fall is here, still hot here. Was 102F today down here, i wish the hell it would hurry up and be winter already. Ramsey, what is up with that tail man? Looking like a remote control cat dood!! lol
Getting dark a lot earlier now. Are we still doing the spring forward fall back crap with the clocks, thought we were gonna stop doing that, i dunno where we are with all of that. Shows yah how much i pay attention to the world at large. The whole worlds gone crazy and i am just so disengaged from it. Blah
Getting about time for you to stock up your wood for the winter eh? Winter is almost there for you, wish it would hurry up here. Be safe up there, watch out for Sasquatch!! 🥰🙏
Wow, still VERY warm down there!! Too warm eh? I hope cooler weather heads your way soon!
Good for you on getting the oil change done. I am wondering if you have tried adjusting the valve rocker arm clearances.
If you still have the manual you can look that up otherwise lots of help available on YT.
I watch Chicanic? for help with small engine repair and maintenance.
I had a similar experience this week,I heard air blowing under my entry door it was early in the morn when the sun was coming up so I got down and looked and I could see light.Sure enough the mfgr didn`t use treated lumber and the wood rotted out.I fixed it but I will just say thanks menards
Loved your stroll with Ramsey 😊 and everything else. Such a cozy video. Also had to go get a snack in the kitchen after you shared your delicious dessert. No regrets here either 😂
Haha cheers to that! 🍫
Hi Jenna, wanted to suggest the pink stuff to get your rust off. Wipe on rinse off with water 45 minutes later.
Thank you fir the suggestion 👍
Gee Jenna, you could have put a board of the right thickness on the bottom of the door to seal the gap. The foam might ware off over time. Enjoy your week-end.
It might but I can easily fill the gap again. Have a great weekend as well!
Hey girlie, great vid. Ramsey is like a puppy ♥️ No sasquatch talk, it's the wind? 😳
Good morning Jenna i seen you change your oil question does your gen have a oil filter? I always like the little road trips and fish trips. It's going to start getting cold soon there better get your fire wood stacked. Oh nice out door fire pit. Thanks for sharing and enjoyed it alot. now that bat thing was cool
Hey Tony, it has an air breather, sponge type thing but no filter. Yup, wood stacking is on my list!
Greetings Jenna it's your viewer from oakville Ontario thanks for the presentation I always enjoy your postings 😊 my family has a cottage up in the Muskoka region and it's partially off grid and I invested in a champion generator
Good gennys, mine is a yard works which is made by champion. It's still going strong!
Good going on trying to use spray foam to fill the gap under your door. A way to fill it completely & fit the space better , put plastic down on threshold . Tape a piece of plastic on door ( wrapped like in an envelope) close the door & use filler straw in between the two layers of plastic. Keep door shut while it dries. Peel away both layers of plastic & voila - perfect fit 😅
7:41.... hahahaha NOMZZZZ 🍫 (NO REGERTS😂).
6:31.... "your venturing too far child" lol 😂. RAM-say is so cute on his drinking fountain?
Haha, he is obsessed with that fountain. This winter I'm gonna have to find room for it inside and room is something there isn't a lot of here, haha 😅 🐱 💧
I enjoyed the video Jenna.
Hello Jen, me and the sailboat left in June where that cane just hit and another one is coming for a direct hit to fl. Meh-
We we sure did extend on the embutcherment of the door. Agreed, match its crazee.
I had a beloved 2000w genny I ran like a champ some 3 full years on the boat. Had I changed the oil more often maybe could have gotten longer. The engine failed the Jen didn't. ❤
I have been able to become more dependant on the solar ( minus air con) The Jen does that. 😃
I think sometimes of playing around and uping the amps of the solar or getting a few 1200v fp capacitors but then the system becomes a bit unsafe. Three 340w panels create far more electricity than I use.
You're so pretty Jenifer
#Modellotyme
I got a new truck tag yesterday. I'm headed to town to buy a bigger chainsaw, a 20 inch Stihl. They're $50 off regular price. I have a little dead memosa tree to cut at my aunt's house.
Have a great weekend!
@@gypsyjenna Thanks, I will. You do the same. Let us know about the Sasquatch or if it's another grouse or something...
@DavidPotter-k1d haha I'm thinking Sasquatch this time but I'll keep you in the loop! 😅
You have made a good life for yourself. Bats in the belfry? Signaling Batman? Bat sh%t crazy?? :)
All 3 of the above, perhaps lol. Just felt like a spooky evening. Gotta love this time of year 🍂 🔥 🎃
I love to hear your voice on fast speed. Keep on videoing girl.
AIR FILTER SPARK PLUG
Thank you. I fixed my door. You made it not intimidating!!!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
I always liked good folk :'l became a hermit by 20 as so many preying on the good Ole folk :-( appreciate you :-)
I'm almost 60 now.
You definitely sound like a Tom boy :-) shame so hard to find a friend that lasts or a home no one is feeding on. But you and I got it. I got a wife after 35 yrs that we can come exist well. Less time in life but still a prize . Hope you find one a mate a friend. You can actually trust long term. The off grid is awesome when you learned how ❤
Generator has a charging circuit for charging the battery unless it is broken 🤣👍🇺🇸
Yeah mine has a separate cord I believe and I haven't used it since the last battery crapped out
Spray foam the bottom of the door totally a me move you sure ya haven't been talking home repair advice from me 😂😂😂😂
Looks like a cool area where you live. You are one cool lady. I need the oil changed in about 5 engines. How much do you charge an hour? 😅
I want to live off grid love your videos
I'm envious. 95 F today in nebraska
Holy lightning! That's hot! 🔥
I live in a fifth wheeler to it gets rough sometimes especially in winter 🥶
Agreed! Brrr
I hope Diddy don't have anything to do with the death row record beer!!😂😂😂😂
Nah I'm pretty sure he is bad boy records
Loved the video especially the bats😂
Nova Scotia has about 3,000 lakes and from what I have seen, they all look like the one you stopped at. Walmart would have cheerfully refunded you for the 10W 30 and certainly you could have exchanged it. Maybe you could use it in your friend's buggy there. Cheers from Kings County.
Thanks, that buggy has definitely drunk a few of my other bottles of oil I had laying around, haha
i leave the oil plug out. pour in a little new oil to get the last of the black shit out and refill.
Not a bad idea!
Hey GJ, would any weatherstripping have worked? I guess if you’re happy with it, we’re happy for you, lol. Hope all is well for you from a big fan. Was going to suggest a trickle charge but you beat me to it, lol. Jenna, if you can find one, they make a hose that has a fitting that screws into the block of you motor, it drains the oil away from everything. My house generator came with one is the only way I know. My lawn mower is just like that, a booger bear to drain the oil, ugh!
A drain hose is a good idea. However, if you cannot find one with the proper thread to screw in, save a used plastic pop bottle, either the 2L size, or a smaller one. Cut it apart to fashion a bit of a funnel to direct the draining oil away from falling on that cross brace.
Hey,look at the bright side, you only do it once a year, lol.
@stanpatterson5033 I was gonna do that! But then I was so last minute I thought, ahh well I will make a mess this time and do that next time! Haha
