I have the same routine for my water needs, rain water catchment in the summer and either melt snow or cut through the lake ice and get water from there in the winter. Been doing it that way for 8 years.

Thank you Kyle! You keep things simple and I sure appreciate that. I'm a 75 year old woman living off grid alone. Simplicity is my goal. Blessings to you and Sierra.

You two are doing so good with all the improvements, wow 👍👍👍👍

So happy to see you back at the cabin. This is why I watch. You're living the life I'd love to be living. Stay off the lakes for a while 😄

Great job. I guess you have to keep the water heater low so you don't burn yourself. Also, a rain barrel on the chicken house may be helpful for garden watering.

That’s a easy yet efficient setup on your water Kyle, nice job! Looking forward to your Cabin build next week! Woo hoo. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

Looking forward to the new cabin build. That's always enjoyable.

Great job. I will implement your installation method in my off-grid cabin.

You have certainly made great improvements to your life style in the woods, it looks very nice & cosy. I remember when you first moved into your first cabin - trying to get the woodstove to the cabin such a lot of very hard work - look what you have now it is great. So with your chicken Coop quite a way from the cabin what do you use to protect your birds, I imagine animals will try to get into the coop & grab the chickens. Enjoy your video's Kyle good content & how you have grown with your Off The Grid life style. Cheers

Won't the straight hot water into the shower be too hot for your body and burn you. The shower usually has a cold/hot mix and you make it comfortable for your shower. Maybe you have a secret alternative, just am worried you get burned. Thanks for a great video. Love you and thumbs up 👍👍👍

Nice job on the water system design. Good explanation of everything. I’d leave the propane tank inside. Easier to change out when necessary. Yard looks great!

Dude I think if you build a little cover on top of your deck it would make the front of your house look a lot better. Like one of the slatted wooden beam ones 😀

The property is really coming along. Lots of hard work pays off. Looks great!

Your running water must be so luxurious after so much hauling! Good job! I am concerned about dirt, elements in the barrels & pipes & germs. We have a well & septic. We use a Burkey water filter for drinking & cooking water. It’s not cheap, but much better than getting sick!

Rainwater and melted snow are great but I would still think about drilling a decent well .. just to have no worries with water ever.

Good Morning Kyle, really enjoy your Videos! As an enhancement you could get more Barrels and link them together using "Y's" on the valves. this would increase your storage capacity for the dry spells.

When it Did NOT rain for awhile, we had to call "the Water Guy" to bring a truck tank full of "city water" to us.

I have the same water heater for our semi-outdoor shower at our lake cabin and we love it. (Used it tonight in fact. We are can pump water from the lake.) I’ve been surprised at how many visitors have been interested in using a similar setup. Our latest addition was a portable clothes washer. It saves us the cost of a laundromat as well as a boat ride and 10 mile drive to the nearest town. I was amazed at how well it agitates and spins the water out of the clothes.

Thank you for the simple explanation! Some other off-grid KZreadrs get way more complicated with their explanation of their water supply and water heater hookups. You follow the KISS method I like. Keep It Stupid Simple. Even a fool has trouble messing that up! Now it makes me wonder, will this water system work in a fullsize house? I'm thinking probably for 2 people. See, by your example you get other people thinking of a way out of the ordinary to get things done the easy way! You've done half the testing for us! And you're happy with your explanation! Others get frustrated and confusing. One even says if you don't do it his way it won't work. I'm not dumb. I know there's always more than one way to accomplish a task! Thanks for the easy explanation! And congratulations on all of your accomplishments!

It has held up nicely for over 3 years now.

Have running water the old fashion way. Put the water tank up higher than the sink or shower, and use GRAVITY! It works perfectly for most things. Obviously you can also get solar powered or battery powered water pumps or camping shower systems that can be connected to a sink ... but gravity is free

You need a better constructed pressure treated wood base under that big barrel, and a better barrel, maybe a bit higher for better outlet pressure. The downspout needs a clean out port, upstream. The rain water should be prefiltered before the barrel. You can also buy cheap insertable gutter guards to stop leaves, needles and other debris outta your collection gutter. The wire ones better. Both the gutter and collection barrel should be cleaned regularly. You need some chemical water disinfectant in water storage barrels. You need to Berkey filter this water, but I don't think you're drinking it. I told you how to build and set up an outdoor wood-fired water distiller, for drinking water. You drink bottled, no?

Use pine needles to mulch your garden beds. Apply on top of a thin layer of compost. The new shed might also double as your power building. You could put all your batteries and some additional Solar panels on top of the roof to create more power. Run the line to the house and boom. You can find used panels with plenty of life in them for sale. They might require a little more work to make compatible with Ecoflo but there are plenty of vids on how to do it. Water system is awesome and will only get better as you perfect it.
