Hey man I don't comment a lot on KZread but I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, and these videos with Al have really helped. Thanks again and I look forward to more 🙏

Same here and was surprised more people hadn't seen this video. Ye make people happy

Al and his property are a gem. Thanks for sharing and hope to see more of Al's life ..

Al is amazing what a soul, you are so lucky to have a neighbor like Al❤

This is what I think about when I think about living off of grid. I think more about returning to community rather than the actual experience. The idea that we would turn to one another again and help each other and get to know each other. This is such a kind, sweet video.

Al's place is literally a dream home for me. coolest off grid home ive seen and by far the coziest. pacific northwest just hits different.

Thanks for letting us keep up with The Diego and Al show!

Smart idea staying off coffee and booze. Well done bringing this man’s natural way to light.❤

Great video. Love to see you and your friends living the "Off grid live style". Al's setup is amazing. Much love from Michael all the way from Denmark 🇩🇰

Coffee is natural. Technically booze too.

This one of the best videos on KZread for me. Thats a really Big title to give and have. But this video have all the things I like. Thank you so much for this video❤❤❤❤

I just found your channel, the Al videos are the best!!! He’s an amazing man.

Diego And Al The old wood stoves were the first convection ovens because of the way they were designed they're circulate the heat around the box and Diego you can take a hot water tank or if you could find a cast iron one you can line that with copper tubing that they use in an air conditioner can an outside air conditioner and hooked that up and have the water go through and it will heat it heat it up from the stove it will naturally circulate come in from the bottom and go out the top into a holding tank My grandparents they had the water jacket on their stove on the outside then they had a hundred gallon hot water tank that shut off to the side there and it was a tank inside of a tank and it was insulated with asbestos cuz that's what they used in the old days and the inside tank was stainless in the outside tank was just steel they would heat up the water and it would last up to 2 days before it cooled down to where it was uncomfortable if you were taking a bath just something for thought

Al is awesome. His house is my dream house ❤

You guys have an awesome relationship, learn what you can from Al wile you can. people like him with the knowledge he possesses are few and far between

I too have a good old friend called Al, met him when I started doing traffic control, taught me more than anything they taught us doing my ticket.

Absolutely enjoyed. Thanks for such enjoyable content. I’m so glad you are taking time to document Al’s alternative living…what looks like great living! Can’t wait for more.

Love this series! I'm moving to the PNW soon and this gives me a ray of hope to continue pushing to get up north and live closer to this type of lifestyle. Amazing. Thank you Diego and Al

Great and inspiring video, guys!! I am loving Al's set up big time!

Think al might be the inspiration i needed to devote to my own off grid life . Thankyou for this great coverage. So detailed andgood.

Another amazing video. Al's a legend. We can learn so much from each other. Thanks for this inspiring video. Keep up the amazing work. Have the greatest day ever, love and peace.

These videos are a wonderful testimony to a life lived well. I love your videos. Al's been doing it much better than we did. I baked bread in a wood burning stove for 17 years and over 30 years later I still long for wood heat again. Makes the best baked goods. You get to know your wood. I heated an old iron on the top for ironing things I sewed on the treddle machine. Very remote homestead living in BC, near Big Bar Canyon.

Al is awesome. Sometime I will live like Al.

I really like these videos and appreciate your attention to the details. Great to get some ideas in case I need to use them in the future.

Please let Al tell us about his life some more

Where all geting slower al so dont feel bad lol & its a good thing you do to help each other out.thats a nice cook stove and hot water set up hes all set up

I remember going to Mountain St Helens back in '97 and loved the nature around there. Spectacular and wild. Congrats on all of you who get to enjoy that beautiful place on earth.

Love the doggies and future bit at the end 😂. A very peaceful and informative video. I’ve actually never been up to that part of his spring. Really neat screen system.

Al is the very best kind of friend you could have. Do you ever drop off a care package of food for him? Excellent videos and I look forward to the next one.

Al is one smart cookie , He would be the one to talk to about going off grid , He has a beautiful property with water source to use for the cabin , tree,s to use for firewood, His wood burner stove is Epic ! and so much more . Love how he has a couple outhouses great idea I feel. love the sauna and other building's . The interior is cozy, love where his kitchen table sits next to the large windows overlooking the water how epic, Al would definitely be an individual i could talk to all day. One would never know how old Al is . Al is living a very healthy lifestyle . I love this guy. London, Ontario, Canada.

I absolutely love these videos, you're doing a great job man keep em coming !! Now to binge the rest of the videos i havent watched :D

I'm envious of that oven ngl

What a cool guy

Absolutely love these videos with Al ! Keep them coming.. Looking forward to seeing you guys go on some more adventures

God you just have to love Al , bless you for looking out for him, though he's a man of many talents it's good he's got neighbours like you 👍

What an absolute gent I’m loving als posts from the uk and I’m inspired by his way of life I’d love to live off grid what a fantastic neighbour to have ❤ you have a beautiful life al

@diegotrieshard hey Diego tell Al i said "take me to the Magistrate" he'll know what I mean. I don't know him and i used to live in that county. Heard all about "Al" and always admired him for saying that that day. Thanks, Eddie

Thank you Diego for sharing Al, that man it is a Treasure......!

One thing that’s on all of our minds…. Where does Al’s Income for groceries come from? Al is a legend!

I have only gotten half way through this video, and watched part of another, but what stateis this? Looks very similar to where I live in Vermont. The one thing Al needs, I think, is a good hand pump for his holding pond when water is low. Just to get water to the house. Just a thought. Many live just like this where I am from and live. Back in the woods in Vermont. Love the channel so far.👍 Should set up a go fund me or something for Al. I never have donated money, but thats because I haven't seen anything really worthy in my mind. Id love to donatw towards a hand pump or whatever necessity for Al. I appreciate his life and how he chooses to live it.

What did Al do when mount saint helens erupted in the 1980’s? I was living in southern Ca. and my car was covered in ash.

Dipstick want his breakfast

No pest walking around in kitchen.. interesting..i would love to see how he lives

Lokked online for one of those wood cook stoves. And boy they are not cheap. They are between $5,000 to $7,000 dollars.

In the uk they are trying to ban wood stoves,in Ireland they have banned all internal fire places

lol Al didnt shared his food with him tough he said he is invited to his breakfast

Very cool video. Wonder if AL gathers truffles, mushrooms, ginseng and deer for food. I didn't see a garden so maybe he just drives into town for groceries.

between you and Wranglerstar I'm pretty convinced the Washington country side is ideal

Baken is healthy, it contain natural fat acids good for you artery washed them inside natural fats are good for Ells age ,coffe I love coffe

You have bigles

Mennonite have stoves like this,you can foun them on Market or Kijij sure I was look for them

Which would be more expensive? Buying a new stove like that or buying a repurposed antique?
