I couldn't be more envious of you two. And I reckon I could smell that damper from here. I would love to come up and visit one day. But when you showed that huntsman crawling up your arm again, I nearly screamed. Well done and kudos to both of you for living your dream. ❤👍🍺

Thank you Wayne!

I'm loving the smiles on your faces & so pleased for you both. There's nothing like putting in the hard yards & then revelling in what you've achieved. I speak from experience as I fix or tweak everything around our home, having picked up many skills in my career. I retired early for health reasons 23 years ago, but we're living well because we're rarely reliant. on getting work done for us & we've saved a fortune. There's a lot to be said for being responsible with energy & living within your means. I love going retro & enjoy using our push mower, pulling weeds & walking instead of driving whenever I can. You're also on track for using what you NEED, rather than wasting resources because it's convenient. Best wishes from South Australia.

Thank you again! Yes totally agree. Working our way into this change of lifestyle is an interesting and rewarding experience. It more work but it's good work. All the best.

You certainly make great points! I’m slowly becoming an empty nester in central vic. Although I still live on the same property as my two adult daughters, I am living in a large caravan up in the paddock with my old kelpie and my two horses. I’m learning to manage power without overloading the van and I hope to have it fully solar in the future. My son is helping me renovate as I go to eventually have a functioning space that is more suited to my disabilities. Having the bathroom finished is next on my list! Thank you for sharing your journey!! Kel

Truth!

I love this series. There are so many people who would love to go off-grid like you. It's a dream. I'm far from off-grid but I have commissioned a solar array installation on my house. 21x 415W PVs, 9.6kWh battery and 8kWh inverter. It's still early days but thanks to the variability of British weather, I can say that in bright sunshine the battery charges up in a couple of hours but even today in pouring rain, I'm still generating over 1700W. I have an EV too and although the house is now completely independent of the grid, I am going to need to draw some power from the grid to charge the car on occasions. I don't use it much so I am hoping to mitigate that by careful management but if nothing else, my bills will become insignificant now. Next, get rid of the gas... but this will put more pressure onto the electrical system so I'll live with this installation for 12 months and see how it performs. That spider though... no thanks.

Just catching up Scott. Good talk Judy. Making damper as a boy scout and senior, up to rover scout, baked it straight in the coals, and another way was to wrap the dough around a clean stick and turn until cooked, fun memories. Being a country boy, huntsman spiders were a part of life, as were redbelly black snakes, swamp tiger, brown, black, and tiger snakes. Swimming in the Ovens river, and snakes swim very well. Good video Scott.

Tip for you Judy!! You know the curly things you get with a cheap electric mixer? They’re for kneading bread dough.( Scott should cut you some slack on power use for that.) My Missus Tania started making bread at home again about 12 months ago and went through the same drama (white, savory olive and sundried toms, raisin). Much easier using the mixer. 25kg bag of baker’s flour is about $20.00 to $25.00 Cheap for months of fresh bread, scones, damper, cake, cookies, gravy, etc, etc. Fresh bread, salted butter, fresh off the bone ham, mango and paw paw chutney, and a beer. And the world becomes perfect!! Cheers guys.

Great video guys. The fire got me thinking.. Have you thought about fabricating a nice big fire pot with a tall flue? I imagine the smoke following beauty (Scott) doesn’t bother you too much.. but simply adding another option to the way you stay warm when relaxing outside, or different ways of cooking. Just as long as you can still see the flames of the bush Tele. I’ve helped make them out of old large gas cylinders, hot water cylinders etc. We love them here in Tassie, and I reckon you would benefit too! Cheers!
