Tips for living off grid in winter in a travel trailer: purelivingforli...
Waking up to snow on the ground brings back many fond memories of childhood for Jesse. One of which is learning to work hard by removing snow from rooftops with a snow scoop. This tool helped Jesse earn money to buy things he wanted. Instead of being given things Jesse's parents gave him opportunity instead. The work ethic and training learned at a young age has become an asset on our off grid project where the work never ends. He's just not sure if having fun clearing the driveway was his idea or some clever trickery by his parents! :)

how to get one million youtube views
love you mom and dad
If you want a million views someone on this channel is going to have to put on a bikini and some work boots and go frolicking in the snow while shooting a rifle in slow motion ...while your wife films it.
lol
There is a strong correlation between bikinis and well-performing channels. I wasn't gonna say it, but since you brought it up...
Gentleman Adventurer oh man I would share the heck out of that...course I shared this on Facebook with my 325 friends and family!!!
LOL "while your wife films it"
God, PLEASE let it be Alyssa who dons the bikini, PLEASE...
Happy Holiday's, You Two !
You two always look like you're having so much fun. Sounds like you're a great pair for this journey. Thank you for sharing with us!
You guys were so genuine in this video. Nice work. :)
Love the snow scoop--much better than shoveling! And it's multi-purpose, too!
Even the deer are watching your off grid adventure! Thanks for sharing your stories about developing a work ethic as a young man.
Folks have a Merry Christmas.
Great video.Never stop having fun. We are 68 and 71 still heat with wood and wood pellets. We were snowshoeing yesterday. Try to get out even when temp. is 10 or below. Only missing a hot tub. Husband won't budge on that. Have a great Holiday and keep those videos coming.
Life is work, and work is life - wise words, love it!
The deer in the back ground are awesome wish I had a snow scoop as a kid
If you wipe car wax in the scoop and leave it on there the snow will not stick as much
I have been watching you guys for a couple of months. Just realized you guys are in Idaho. I live in Meridian and my Wife and I want to start doing this. Your guys videos have helped me and my wife to start looking for land and start homesteading.
I don't know if you do this or not, but lubricating your snow shovels and snow scopes help tremendously with clearing the snow off. I like to use silicone spray. Works like a charm!
You need a woodshed.
Back in 1979 when I was a 15 year-old kid with my first car... We did something like Alyssa suggested with the car... We got the bonnet (hood) from a 1964 EH Holden car, flipped it upside down and towed it behind my car in the paddock (field)... I had friends coming from school with crash helmets etc and we surfed through the long grass. BIG FUN!
I loved shoveling the driveway with my dad. Thanks for the good vids.
Hope you guys have a great xmas and new years. Be safe out there. God Bless.
You guys get a million thumbs up from this guy. the two of you have become an inspiration.
Alyssa and Jesse, you guys are great and you're never too old to have fun and do kiddy things. Great👌👍London, England. No snow for our Christmas 😟 It's SOOOO magical ❄⛄❄⛄❄
Can you do a winter homestead cooking video!! How do you guys cook your food in the trailer, etc?
I love the sense of humor you two share! So much fun to watch!
Take care!
I now want a snow scoop, that thing is awesome!
I'd love that snow shovel. lol I may not be part of a million views but I sure like that snow shovel. :)
I wish and Alyssa a Happy Holiday with tons of success at whatever you attempt.
Who could dislike this video?
DrizKhalifa Haters gonna hate
+Northeast Homestead Potaters gonna potate. ;)
Clinton voters !
Both my wife and I really enjoy your videos , thank you. John
Love watching your journey! Merry Christmas 🎁
good to see your having fun.
Love the video's. My brother and I had plenty of snow shoveling jobs all winter in Northern WI. and quickly learned about working for $$$. We were 11 and 12 YO. Did it for years. We learned quickly that the more elderly customer we found the more tips we earned :)
Merry Christmas
Y'all are so much fun! I understand why you have a lot of views! So both of you have grown up with snow! Jessie your parents gave you an excellent work ethnic! You too Alyssa.
I enjoy watching your adventures. I too got 40 acres in northern Wisconsin and started to build my off grid cabin. That was 30 years ago...LoL I have learned a lot about everything by watching UA-cam. You guys are a treat to watch. Right now I am totally off grid and have went through most of what you guys have. Made a lot of mistakes, which have all been corrected. Everything costs, wise choices from the start are very important .Keep the vids coming, if I can offer some advice, it's yours ! Keith
Merry Christmas to you and your family and a happy new year. Thank you for sharing your amazing video, it was a pleasure to follow you.
Suggestion, if you hang the tarp over your wood pile like a tent, you won't have to sweep it off as often, or it will be a lot less accumulation and you could just shake it off.
As a little boy living in the suburbs in Cleveland, I would make "bank" shoveling driveways and mowing lawns.
The trick in the winter was knocking on door when a few inches accumulated, shovel their driveway and sidewalk and come back in a few hours and do it again. I called it double dipping.
Twenty-five to forty dollars for a Saturday's day work was good money for a 10 year old kid back in the early seventies.
As always a good message and fun to watch. Hppy Holidays to you both and everyone who watches!🎊🎆🎇🎉
this is good , you both having fun together ... i like that...
hey guys just want you to know I stay updated on all ur videos and love all that you do. honestly fuck a million views. you guys are a humbling experience to watch and overall generally inspiring but from me to you I will start sharing your videos. happy holidays and best wishes
Al
I love following your homesteading life! Thanks for posting video's of your journey! :)
You guys are awesome! Doing this slowly in Colorado!
Hope you guys have a great holiday, envious of you guys loving the dream making your own way out there. Cheers
I'm loving your videos. It's reminded me of our own goals for getting off grid here in the uk.
If you ever get/make a woodshed, put the tarp over the woodshed roof in such a way that would allow you to lift it and get the snow to slide off it using cables or something, or sheets of ply on a hinge, otherwise you'll just be using that brush of the roof of the woodshed.
On the topic of child labour, I don't think it was just trickery; I remember as a young kid wanting to help my parents with chores and projects (my dad used to do some carpentry in the garage) and I see this with the kids of my friends too as they've come out of toddler-hood. I also remember the pride I had doing my first job (paper round @11, I was "15" for 5 years in that shop, and ended up using 6 different names, lol, as other kids came and went) and I totally agree with you about seeing the expended effort, learning to delay gratification and acquiring the reward. That feeling of MINE as a distillation of a whole lot of my effort.
This was very much at odds with my parents who were REALLY into academics, and rubbish with money (something I've inherited to an extent): I was "lazy" at school (WORSE than a waste of time, finding I have to consciously un-school myself in different ways as time goes on) but I'm a "workaholic" now (seem's I've got some learning to do when it comes to working smart, but it's a term that's really rather galling given the amount of money I chuck their way), along with other families we know that see their kids having to work as something barbaric, and they're always whining about work themselves.
I don't think this is just about taxes and welfare (or benefits as they're called here in the UK): There's a developmental thing going on here. I find the idea of someone subsidising my existence abhorrent, whereas most of the adults seem to wish they were still children. This isn't a "millennial" thing either, but genX-ers and baby boomers. Its like something out of Ayn Rand. If I ever have kids, it's really something I'll have to give a lot of though into.Still, enjoy the snow; it's quite a lovely day here in London, almost spring-like.
We had a flat roof in Climax,Colo at 11,318 ft! My job was to remove snow from roof!
Snow tunnels everywhere were used to get to propane tanks (smiley)
From the mountains of Northeast Tennessee, and the home of Davy Crockett,
we wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
this channel is awesome. you guys are awesome. this idea of living off grid is awesome. best of luck to you two of you!
Fun! Just build a little sloped roof over 8" posts.
you guys are a lot of fun to watch!
loved the video and the deer in the back round
You both are cute. I'm sure it's not always all laughs, but I'm glad you're having fun and being silly.
Merry Christmas to you all enjoy your videos. Pray you all have a safe Holiday season
👍🎄🎄Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎄🎄👍
Merry Christmas Folks
Put some cooking spray or silicone spray in the scoop and it should help with the snow not sticking to it so much
You guys are awesome! Totally enjoy all of your videos.
Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the great work.
You are one of three families that I watch on UA-cam all the time but you are the only one I have not been able to figure out you make good videos educational I've learned a lot from you but there's a Twist to your personality I just can't figure I know you are hard-working you've had your own business that I get but there's something else and your personality that I just cannot pin down hey have a Merry Christmas
Yep, that's why I live in lower Alabama!
lol... looks like ya'll were playing and working at the same time...nothing more fun...be safe and warm...MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL...
you do need a wood shed :-). Merry Christmas. Looking forward to you continuing your off grid adventure in 2017.
aww did you guys see the dear in the background when she said "your costs so dirty" there were like two dear chilling up there and then ran away.
I think that you guys are great. I will someday be doing the same thing but in Alaska. (hopefully). I enjoy watching your vlogs because i have learned alot from them. You guys are definately determined and I cant imagine what you cabin is going to look like. I would like more vlogs, but I understand that you are very busy. Thank you for putting your experience out in the youtube world. Have a great holiday.
Merry Christmas yall from sunny Florida. Where we shovel sunshine all day...lol
Thumbs up... ENJOY.... THE SIMPLE LIFE
great videos ! great message .
I love you guys! You two are adorable!
I would still enter for a snow scoop. LOL Totally need to get one.
Awfully Cute... U 2 R !! 🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas Kids !!
awesome video...cool shovel... :)
You guys should try stacking your wood this year in a holz hausen. I think that's how you spell it. Drys extremely well and holds a lot of wood. Great videos. Merry Christmas
I like the deer in the back
You two are great! Keep up the vids
I was so thinking that about the wood in the container on in the scoop too!! Haha I love the videos keep them coming!!!
I'd love that thing!
You all really need a woodshed. That way you won't have to sweep the snow off the tarp every time. Just a helpful hint from my 106+ years of homesteading experience. Sometimes these comments kill me.
Catching up on your blogs and this one is so many shades of cute LOL
you guys are awesome!
And here I broke my back shoveling snow last year when we had blizzard in Texas...yes Texas
three inches lol my brother is from dallas and always calls me when its below 50 degrees. I live in south dakota. It was -30 with the wind chill last week. but totally understand the broken back.
Sean Kelly i live around lubbock tx and it was atleast 12-20 inches lubbock and the surrounding towns were shut down for a while i was out there pulling people out all day the shoveling was the next day lol
yeah, when i was truck driving i went through there and actually it was snowing when i went through. West texas is bad for that and FOG. i hate the FOG down there. terrible. lol. wasnt trying to be mean by the way.
Sean Kelly its all good i have friends there n dallas lol
I love your videos, and this one was very cute. I love the deer in the background, you trained them well. In my youth, we would skid big oak trees out, buck, split and stack them (short version) and one of my jobs was getting loads of wood to the house. I've moved 100 cords of wood with a poly sled, like a $20 sled from Menards, the long thin kind. I'd Pull it with a rope. thumbs up
you were freezing my butt off...lmao!
Love the videos. Do it your way so you can get the most enjoyment from your new lifestyle.Merry Xmas
you shovel works much better for sledding then mine ever has
I'd take a snow shovel.North Idaho is covered right now....
I wanna see you guys after the breakfast and coffee lol.
did you see the deer behind you on the hill when she was telling you how dirty your jacket was? That is great! there goes dinner.... lol
I'm in my 40's and I still love shoveling the drive way ect.. only take about 15 min if I really get after it.. and if I take my time it's a 30-40min job.
You guys are great......
Merry Christmas...:)

You are doing great in the videos. Spring is coming and you will have lots of opportunities to do garden videos. A woodshed would be helpful. LoL
Jesse I burn wood to heat our home for 99% of our heat. Have learned, like you, what works for you and what works for others. I do keep a fire ring next to our stove to hold about 2 days of wood on super cold windy days. Lets the wood dry, and any moisture on the outside from snow gets put back into the dry environment the stove creates. Less times back and forth to the pile. Also I don't tarp the entire way down the stack of wood. The ground and wood gives off humidity and the tarp keeps it on the wood. If the inside of the tarp is damp or frozen, that is a sure sign. If you can, lift the tarp even a foot off the ground and let it vent that humidity out. Drier wood and better burn, as you already know. Have a happy holiday!
Idaho! Aloha from Boise. new subscriber here! Hey, have you considered stacking your wood in a dome topped round stack? All the cool kids are doing it, and less snow headaches!
I'd say bring in a Floridian or Hawaiian who's never seen snow & have them run the snow scoop. My God parents in Maryland did that to me when I first saw snow when I was 16. they had me shoveling snow for a week 💪
I've never seen such a thing! ❤it
You are great guys! :)
at 2:15 Deers are rigth behind you guys. really cool. a little (a lot) jellose. greeting from the wanna be of grid german. :)
+Pure Living for Life I would SURELY do a snow skimmer giveaway! Awesome video guys! Thanks for sharing.
I have been trying to talk my husband into buying us one of the big snow scoops, but he is convinced that the shovel works just as good and costs less. Perhaps watching you two will convince him. :)
Hi guys, hope you had a nice Christmas. If you want to get snow out of the scoop without it sticking when you dump it, spray the scoop lightly with WD-40...
You should build a wood shed.
paintin the fence - Tom Sawyer - nothings more funner, more easier dunner :)
Marry Christmas.
You can try making a copper solar snow melting shield that collects water. Maybe cost you 40$
ski wax in the scoop less sticking ,,,, or Pam spray maybe ,, lol cooking with scoop !!!
