OK so a single panel charges 1 battery @ 12 Volt DC. Your inverter does not charge the blender it gives a 110Volt AC. From what you are saying if you had a 2 Panel system with 2 Batteries you can use a bigger inverter and will then be able to power the blender. Multiple Panels and Batteries with automatic switching keeps the batteries charged. The bigger the Inverter the longer you will get the 110 Volt for. You can charge the batteries whilst not doing anything else with he system during Light Hours. Some may even give low charge from moon light but you would need to check system spec?
So impressed with both you Jake and Nicole. My wife Nova and I started waitching your channel only about a week ago and decided to start from the beginning. Watching you build the yurt was inspirational. You guys a a delight to watch. You work so well together.
- back in the 70's (a few years ago) I made soooo many macrame projects. Plant hangers, jewelry, belts, lamp shades, and my favorite was my kitchen curtain. This winter when the days are grey and foreboding I hope you have a tote full of materials to fill your creative urges with beautiful objects and gifts. Drift wood made a perfect curtain rod to start my curtain :-) and I added all my favorite found treasures from the beach.
Jake you are full of wisdom and information. I watched you do a interview on FB and loved it. So inspirational. I’m 59 and this year is the first time I have ever attempted to garden. I watched the Back to Eden Garden and then found your channel. I want to get healthier, lose weight and grow my own food. I am struggling to get my husband and family on board. Something you stated in the interview in regard to children that I totally agree with. When you and Nicole have children I can absolutely see them following in your footsteps. Both you and Nicole will be able to impart in them your wealth of knowledge and skill with gardening and beliefs of permaculture and sustainability. Can you imagine the impact they will have to our planet. You and Nicole will raise such beautiful humans for sure. You both are warm, loving, compassionate. I was adorable how you gently redirect a little mouse out of your vehicle. Most guys would have killed it. Things like that and it’s so amazing watching both you and Nicole compliment one another. You build each other up and it’s beautiful to watch. I love you guys. Wish I lived there so I could learn hands on from you. Your both blessed to have each other. Love you guys bunches. My favorite UA-cam family.
I've learned, over the years, never try to control or stop the water. Channel it. Give it the path of least resistance and you stand a chance. You guys work so well together. Love it!
We did that without the lumber in '78 exploring our property and sank our GMC Van up to the axles. Our neighbor used the largest tractor we ever saw to free us. Good job guys !!
At my old job we would pioneer a road and for bridges we would throw three or more nice size trees across the gap we needed to span and then nail boards across it for the platform and then a couple going the direction of the road for the tires to ride on. We used thick timbers about 4-6” thick. Just an idea.
Hey hey. What you made to cover the ditch is called a corduroy road. Maybe build a very low bridge over the ditch for the future or put some flat rocks across so the water can still pass through? Enjoying this much!
Woo Hoo! A beautiful stove to cook and keep you warm! You literally "Moved Heaven and Earth" clearing your new driveway! And I notice you have quite a nice collection of trees lined up waiting to be planted! It takes great momentum, focus and vision to implement your dreams. And you're doing it! You two are amazing! Way to go Guys! :-)
Jake Nicolle both of you'l make beautiful inspiring couples , your Yurt is so spacious & beautiful & cozy , God bless both of you , love watching your amazing videos 💐💐💐💐👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats on getting the stove in! It looks great. If you can, get an insulated, double-walled stovepipe. The hotter the inner pipe can stay all the way to the top, the better it will draw, and the hotter the stove will get with less wood. I'm old, but I loves me some HUMMUS! And I was in my 20s during the '70s, so I've done macrame too! ✌🏻
For the bugs, there are head netting ....try Bug Bucket hats or mosquito hats. ...Eliminate or cover any container water around you. It's harder to achieve this living in the woods, but in your immediate area can only help. There are also natural herb/oil remedies/sprays you can create and apply..... Suggestion for macrame, because it is hard to hold while braiding. you can use mini clamps to clip it onto any sturdy object. This frees up both hands for braiding.
Had to watch a 2nd time, love to see the progress of your home. The yurt just gets more and more cozy and beautiful with every new addition! Great job guys :-).
For a future project, go upstream to just inside your property line and dig a cistern. Get a small solar panel and low pressure pump to move the water up to the garden to an elevated tank with a couple of petcocks in it. Free water for the garden.
Obviously city folks who know nothing about 4x4 trucks. A mighty big production throwing boards to get to the yurt. I wouldn't have laid down a single board in those conditions. (And if I had, I'd have only used a couple and laid them in line with the road and drove along their length to spread the load.)
Home sweet home !! Beautiful stove ! I enjoy watching your channel a lot, this is awesome !! You guys work together great that's awesome !! I'll be watching for more
Love the video! I am amazed at all the work that both you and Nicole have done in such a short time. The Yurt looks awesome! Congratulations guys! I am so happy for both of you. Yep I would live off the grid in a heartbeat but unfortunately my family would not agree to it.
I see that you are often struggling with bugs while being in the shade. A good natural way to help deal with this and provide a nice ambiance is to fill an old kerosene Latern (like a Dietz) with citronella oil. It has a natural lemongrass terpene in it that mosquitos do not like.
Only 24 hours after finding your channel and I’m 28 episodes in. UA-cam’s recommendation algorithm must have gotten a revamp cause I shoulda been recommended this channel years ago!
haha amazing getting such a heavy item inside the Yurt, the edge of the doorstep makes a great pivot, maybe this is wear i can see some simple engineering techniques, find a suitable heavy plank, lay on the floor with one close to the door step, get the stove close to door, get as high as possible, lift the other end of the plank so you can get the end by the door step under the stove, Nicole can take over that end and push down and or stand on it, with her body weight at a distance from the stove will left it very easily together with Jakes brute force and Grrrr can simply slide the stove inside, Shimples or, if that board had been longer, Nicole stand on it to help raise the stove, Jake adds timber below outside to level up, then role inside, the wheels were more hinderance and things could have ended badly, trapped fingers against door post for example, that would make them throb all night
1:38, I agree with you 100% Kake. I don't like raincoats at all, I would rather get wet. After all, we get wet when we shower, so a little water never hurt anyone.
Great job Jake, driving the truck backwards up the driveway. Also, I loved the two angles you shot as the wood stove came through the entrance. And Nicole, I love the bracelets, but, how in the hell can you sit in that position so comfortably, lol. I wish I could.
You might want to get a wood chipper and cover the ground around your place with wood chips. It will absorb the water and keep things from being as muddy later in the year. A thick layer of wood chips might last a lot longer than scrap boards. Also, nice job on the yurt and thanks for sharing your adventure with the rest of us!
Привіт.Ви дуже добрі люди.Ваше ставлення до природи радує!Великий позитив та спільна праця надихає на велике спільне щастя. Хай вам щастить у всьому! Посійте у лісі грибницю білих грибів.Це смакота.Дякую.Дякую що ви є!Більше таких людей як ви.Па-па.
Culvert and gravel is for life, a bridge will deteriorate over time and will be many more man hours of work as well as cost. There must be a neighbour with a backhoe or excavator you could use.Not to mention you can block off the culvert to hold water for emergency purposes if the need arose. If the swamp does hold water.Just my 2 cents.
11:46, After you get the stove in the Yurt, I think one of the next things is to carve out a turn around spot so you don't have to back down Yurt Lane (Your Driveway).
Hey Jake, Glen from Phoenix. Your blender probably only draws 300 watts on low. The battery is about 40 amp hours times 12 volts equals 480 volt amp hours. A Volt amp equals a watt. So, 480 volt amps hours (AKA what hours) divided by 400 Watts, theoretically gives you a little more than an hour run time. That should have made your head spin a little. So just remember your battery is 480 Watt hours. So you can draw one watt for 480 hours, or 480 Watts for 1 hour, or 240 Watts for 2 hours. Or 960 Watts for half an hour. That should help you figure out your run time on a brand new car battery. Hope that helps
Hi from South Africa guys, when you start being stuarts to the forest around you, you can use the wood you cut to build a cord road. Hard work but long term pays.
Good job moving the stove, I personally would have rolled the stove onto it's side through the door on to the cart and then rolled it back up on its feet to set it in place but, you did it just fine. As for the power you'll eventually need, just get a bigger inverted. Something that lets you push the power to 4k watts would have powered the blender, although with only one battery, not for very long. The road looks good, a few dump trucks of dirt and some rock would really make it better and maybe usable in the spring.
In the great northwest you better do something to that road to make it more drivable. With all the rain up there that "marsh" will be the entire road, you need some rock on it
23:00, Ok, so I know it would take more than 1 battery to power the blender you just got. But you could make hummus the old fashion way and it comes out the same. I've seen an Arab restaurant owner in Jerusalem use what looked like a mortar & pestle to crush the garbanzo beans. Then he added the herbs he finely chopped and mixed it with olive oil. It looked so good and without electricity. I've been to Israel twice and the hummus is amazing and always fresh with no preservatives and all the junk you see in store-bought hummus. OMG, I wish I had some right now.
I am watching your videos all the way from pakistan (Asia) Love the work you have done I myself want to live offgrid in a peaceful place and your videos would really help me Peacful life away from all the noise of cities is a real life indeed
Good day Jake and Nicole. I somehow stumbled onto your videos on UA-cam and have been amazed and impressed! I am especially impressed with your "living of the grid" which is how I think I found your videos. Jake, I too am a long time martial artist and love the outdoors but I work a lot of hours and my job and life can get pretty stressful! I have been thinking about becoming a vegetarian (not Vegan) as I feel the need to be much more healthy. Can you provide some ideas on how to slowly but surely break away from meat. I don't eat tons of meat but it is a big staple of our families diet. BTW, I wish both the very best as you both look great together! Take care!!
That wood in the mud will last a few days. For longer lasting 'bridge', try medium-sized rocks from your property topped with sand from the beach. You could then also add all those small trees that were tossed aside from the clearing.... Did you clear the driveway in front of the yurt wide enough so you can U-turn?
Nicole & Jake - Another very well edited video with awesome content. Great job telling the story of how you got that monster stove into the yurt. It's amazing how much the alders fill in those roads in the summer when they have leaves. Do you feel a bit claustrophobic on the road compared to when you first got there? It's great that you found more edibles when clearing the driveway - salmon berries are everywhere and huckleberries are our absolute favorite... though be careful if you have a lot on your property as bears really love huckleberries too! Thank you for sharing your story and hopefully one day we will hear back from you! Lance & Carol - Victoria
I want to live off grid,permanently. Would love to have a place to call my own . all I'll have though is a hammock and survival gear.No,van living isn't for me . I want to rough it,test my limits,survive off the land . Living in a van, to me,really isn't living . And get away from the cities and the population, people are driving me cray cray.
I really enjoy watch you all I have off the grid. And I also love your bracelets. They are very nice wish that I do that but I got psoriasis on my hands and it is so hard for me something like that love to have one love your videos
Hi from Florida, Jake you have a good find when you matched-up with Nicole, also it goes the same with Nicole teaming up with you. Good luck with the rest of your home building, I wish I were younger to do the same. Chas***
I'm not gonna lie i feel like i got click baited the first time i watched a video😂😂 but i am glad i did!! I love watching your video and how you 2 work together.
u 2? are the second time ive subscribed to ANY utube channel......I love u guys!!! Keep up the awesome life ^5sssss & much Respect & Blessed Be!!! (hugs)
Just to set your minds at ease, buy a winch for that beast!! So many trees around, get into a problem, winch right the heck out of it. That things so burly though, I can’t imagine you’d have too many problems. Weight in the back should help if anything. Great vids!
Just curious about your opinion, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to have the wood stove towards the center of the yurt. More even heat distribution during winter months. Idk. Just curious what your guys thoughts on that were. Thanks. Love the channel and all the work you guys have put into this style of living.
Stove in the center...In winter, their herb plants also in the center where that skylight is located.... On second thought, the stove would probably be easier to vent through the wall.
Just a thought. Have you considered putting in a culvert and raising the level of the track with gravel, to avoid getting stuck in the mud? Is it an option? I'm unsure how far off the main road you are.
Nicole, your braver than i am. walking that road in the woods where there are bears, i don't think a horn will help. just last night i watch a video about a guy who crossed a bear and her two cubs. the bear attacked him twice. i am not trying to jinx you, but if you don't carry a gun, bear spray would be better than a horn.
Could you live off the grid?? If No, Why not?
I would love to but my wife wouldn't go for it😔

Some good grade A gravel would work. Love your videos. Favourite chanel 💜

Your yurt was very nice ,very good!!

I love your videos. Jake you made Hummus look very easy to make! I want to try and make some here.
Culvert and gravel is for life, a bridge will deteriorate over time and will be many more man hours of work as well as cost. There must be a neighbour with a backhoe or excavator you could use.Not to mention you can block off the culvert to hold water for emergency purposes if the need arose. If the swamp does hold water.Just my 2 cents.

Hi from Florida, Jake you have a good find when you matched-up with Nicole, also it goes the same with Nicole teaming up with you. Good luck with the rest of your home building, I wish I were younger to do the same. Chas***
Your both getting there, keep up the good work. Good luck for the future.
I get it ~ The Nicole Stove burns coal too! | The solar panels are doing a Rain Dance
I'm not gonna lie i feel like i got click baited the first time i watched a video😂😂 but i am glad i did!! I love watching your video and how you 2 work together.
u 2? are the second time ive subscribed to ANY utube channel......I love u guys!!! Keep up the awesome life ^5sssss & much Respect & Blessed Be!!! (hugs)
Great stuff guys
Wow pretty intense getting that stove in!! Great job!!
Just to set your minds at ease, buy a winch for that beast!! So many trees around, get into a problem, winch right the heck out of it. That things so burly though, I can’t imagine you’d have too many problems. Weight in the back should help if anything. Great vids!
YAYYY congrats on your stove!!!
Loved the cover photo absolutely beautiful
☯️👊🏼🌱✌🏼
Good ol PA area. That’s my buddies old truck lol
Yeah the stove is almost done➕⭐⭐
You guys rock! Loving your progress. 😉
Dylan Pritchard Thank you!!
Beautiful Yurt and garden guys. In the event of a zombie apocalypse can i come stay with y'all? Great video
Heck, I'd worry more about Skynet when it builds the Terminators.
Just curious about your opinion, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to have the wood stove towards the center of the yurt. More even heat distribution during winter months. Idk. Just curious what your guys thoughts on that were. Thanks. Love the channel and all the work you guys have put into this style of living.
Stove in the center...In winter, their herb plants also in the center where that skylight is located.... On second thought, the stove would probably be easier to vent through the wall.
So happy that you finally got the road open !!!!! H U G E milestone !!! Hope your road remains a bit dry ! Great video !
It's going to make a great retreat in the future! A very wise investment.
There's a thing called a 2 wheeler, makes moving heavy woodstoves really easy.
Just a thought. Have you considered putting in a culvert and raising the level of the track with gravel, to avoid getting stuck in the mud? Is it an option? I'm unsure how far off the main road you are.
Nicole, your braver than i am. walking that road in the woods where there are bears, i don't think a horn will help. just last night i watch a video about a guy who crossed a bear and her two cubs. the bear attacked him twice. i am not trying to jinx you, but if you don't carry a gun, bear spray would be better than a horn.
If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to score your off-grid land? Was the process difficult? Expensive?
