  • Today I talk/walk you through 24 hours of off-grid living in a cozy cabin, alone in the woods with my dog. I talk about my off-grid systems for heating, running water, electricity, cooking and more. I also find the time for some skiing, firewood chores, banjo pickin', and a wood fired sauna. Hope you enjoy! CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE for access to my channels original music or my Norman and cabin merchandise:

      Hi I’m an Alaskan Athabaskan and very happy and proud to see what you have done with the skills of my people thank you so much for your amazing videos I have to say I have learned from you this time around. And am very grateful and happy to come across your videos and I will continue to watch so I can get back to my place back in the woods of my long lost life of where I grew up the city is just not for me and I knew that just came to help take care of my dad who has recently passed he is no longer suffering so not need for sadness cause death is a part of life and we all knew that. Now I am ready to go back to my life on my land back home after I save up to rebuild there Watching your videos really gives me so much hope and focus on where I need to be 😊❤. Keep up the good work.
      My village is

      My father literally saved my life from beyond the grave. thanks dad. he knew. big tough man with a heart of gold and a brilliant mind.
      Greatest gift a man can give his children? I'm proud of my father. Of all men past and present, I wouldn't wish for anyone else.
      I love that his Dad follows his videos.

    I put a rain water collection at my cabin 4 years ago and it’s hands down one of the best systems I put in. It’s one of those “I don’t know how I lived without it” kinda things.
    You won’t regret it

    • @user-wi9hv2pb2q
      @user-wi9hv2pb2q 5 місяців тому

      absolutely. in fact the acid content interacting with the system is my only concern. I've got more air pollution than some.

    This was the perfect video to see how the daily cabin life goes at your place. I must say that Norman is the most German Shepherd looking Husky I've ever seen. He's so cool to watch and I look forward to seeing him in every one of your videos. I'm looking forward once again to seeing you rebuild that dilapidated wood shed.

    I used to watch a guy like you do the same thing. It came during a time and mine and my children’s life where it was just comforting. I found you a couple days ago and it makes me feel like I’m watching Bob Ross in Alaska off grid😁
    Thank you for your humility and smart ideas! So calming and cozy to watch .

    Got to be the best of off grid videos i have ever seen. You are at the top bro. Your story, your attitude, your whole story is well made. I feel you have a good support network and if not it makes it even better. Its all so well thought out. Your family is great and supportive of your venture i believe. So keep it up, have a blast enjoying nature and being self sufficient. I say a prayer for you and yours. God Bless the dog and all you love. You have got it going on bro like you deserve.

    Your are doing a fantastic job with video.
    May I offer one little tip. Dawn dish washing detergent will take the oil right out of skin on your hands. If you use some dish washing gloves you can protect your hands and they will not dry out and crack. It took me years to figure this one out.
    All the best ...

    Your living the dream, I live in southern B.C. and often think about selling my house down here and heading up to the Yukon to do the same thing, Can be a tough way to go sometimes by the look of it but the rewards would outweigh the difficulties I think. Enjoyed the video

    WoW! A hour and 15 minutes to charge the power station. Amazing. Regarding carrots most dogs enjoy carrot pieces as treats. Excellent snacks for training as they are non fat and good for them. The night shot of the lit up cabin looks like a calendar picture at 25:18 Thanks for a great video and I'll take your videos over watching the news any day of the week. >@^_*@

    In regards to your 6 year old expired pancake mix.... many years ago, my brother and I were helping my 80ish parents move. I was working in the basement clearing things out. I came across canned pears in a Mason jar that were about 50 yrs old. I was ready to dispose of the pears, when my mom said... don't throw those pears out, I'll eat them. They looked fermented and really gross. I would have loved to see the look on her face eating the pears 😮

    1 egg, 1 cup milk, 0,5 cup flour, 0,5 teaspoon baking soda, a pnich of salt.
    That ought to get you 3-4 american pancakes. Nice to save for later, even eating cold.
