It’s been a month of extreme weather in New Zealand and that has taught me a lot about the importance of personal resilience. Going off the grid has never made more sense to me and I’ve never been more thankful for the systems I’ve installed in my tiny homes. We hope you find this deep dive into the EcoFlow system valuable and that you enjoy this video. With Love, Bryce & Rasa

So many times, for so many years I have been promoting REDUNDANCY in building a house, flow through ventilation, logical movement flow within and improving the environment around the house. Thank you sooo much for sharing, “Living Big In A Tiny House”. I hope it’s a fully and completely successful venture. May God bless you and keep you.

I have a few Ecoflow portable power stations to use as emergency back up power in my home. I hook up to solar and remove items from the grid when I can as well. I love ecoflow products and you are so right to recommend being serious about your real consumption. When I first started using them, I was in shock over how much power even small things that are on all the time pull. I don't have enough power to run my entire household, but I can keep my fridge and freezers going as well as lights and other odds and ends. Which is a great feeling. We get hurricanes and big storms here so outages are part of life. Having backup systems to keep yourself operational and self supporting during an emergency is incredibly important. Love the new tiny and excited to watch your upcoming adventures.

@@alexandramcleod2079 I have all the River sized products and an original Delta as well as a new Delta 2 with add on battery. Which I LOVE. I'm running my computer right now on my River Max! I like the small products for small applications like the computer or a fan or something. I can place the power station where I need it and not run extension cords everywhere. I do run extension cords to plug in my freezers but that's mostly due to where I have to place my solar panels. I keep the power stations inside and run long cables to the solar panels. I hope that helps!

Coming from the place of exposure to so many off grid situations with this channel, gives you an expertise beyond just plugging for your job! You chose who to promote instead of working for a company and promoting them because you work there. This lends much credibility with me!

Bryce. It might be a good project for you to look at all the different appliances (not just your area) that one would use and what their power needs would be. You mentioned being smart about what one chooses. I know I’ve been interested in the Cinderella incinerating system, but until I questioned the supplier several times, I really had no clear idea of specs and power need (the power usage cycles up and down, not a constant pull). But this applies to refrigerators etc. Things like induction burners, InstaPots and slow cookers have different cycles. Tankless water heaters is another item I need to know about. So, you see, you could do a multi part series on appliances etc. You would be someone that encompasses all facets of tiny living - you have such a big following and knowledge. Thanks

This is a great system! It's nice to see off grid systems being developed that are simpler, and more streamlined.

The first thing I researched when the power came back on in Napier was a power station... Ecoflow kept appearing, Ecoflow River was my choice. Thank you for your review 😊

Excellent video. Now that I’m aware of it, I can’t help but think about ventilation for tiny homes. I need ventilation in my 2k sq ft home for three people to keep VOC’s and C02 at safe levels. In small spaces those two things would go up very fast to unhealthy levels. Mechanical ventilation of some kind is needed for sure.

Bryce and Rasa, this is an amazing on-the-go-home. Brilliant example and tutorial of how to uphold the foundational reasons why going Tiny authentically reduces one's footprint. And this system may well, if it's not already demonstrating that larger homes may soon be able to do the same. Thank you!

Great looking house and glad they sponsored your new travel home! Have fun on next adventures!

Plug & play is certainly valuable. But, to your point, redundancy and flexibility in times of trouble are too. A plug & play system can sometimes introduce the challenge of getting replacements when things go pear-shaped. Whereas, if your system is less homogeneously constructed, you can get parts from more varied places. (Definitely not slamming EcoFlow, but highlighting another consideration to weigh into choices.)

@@HegelianEpoch exactly. My first thought was that I'd have zero idea how that unit was built, thus no idea how to fix it if it went wrong. I'd have thought that would be the first lesson of off-grid living. It's actually quite ludicrous that we've designed a system of living (society) where almost everyone has no understanding of where their basic needs come from! Or what to do when they're not available.

Wunderbar , endlich wird das Thema Solar nach vorne gebracht.👍

SO sorry to hear what you guys are going through.... as if the last 3 years haven't been enough under Jacinda Ardern. Am not techy and will not be designing or moving into a tiny... my flat is tiny though! Lol. This incredible kit was also recommended and installed by Max (of Max & Occy fame) who travels round Oz in his amazing camper van, so Ecoflow now has 2 verifiable top rated reviews. Shall pass this info on to those I know going off grid or planning a van conversion...

Oh no! I stayed in Auckland, and Manaia on the Coromandel peninsula, waaaaay back in 1989. We stayed in a retreat center in Manaia and took short day trips around the North Island. Such beauty. It is just chilling to see the footage of roads just fallen away. My heart goes out to all who have been affected, and hope there are resources and organizations that can help.

This was so helpful. I live in an area prone to crazy weather and second your statement about building redundancy into basic needs. It’s so important! Great video!

Thank you so much, Bryce and Rasa for going through this. I checked to see if Ecoflow kits are available in the UK and they are! I'm so happy about this as I really want a straightforward power system when I eventually build my own tiny home :)

Thank you Bryce and Rasa for the EcoFlow review. This would be a good system even for a fixed home for emergency purposes.

That is a very cool home you've got there. I'm glad you've found stuff that works for you.

Great information Bryce. I wish you & Rasa safe travel and happy home💜beautiful home🦋 Thank you for sharing~~

Thank you so much for this video and brilliant review...just the questions that needed answering. We have major, crippling scheduled electricity blackouts in South Africa and I have have seen Ecoflow advertising their systems and have been seriously considering this option. This has given me peace of mind. Thank you Rasa & Bryce

Ecoflow has done a good job with their various power stations and making them easy.

I’m impressed with your research, scripting and as always the beautiful imagery. Seven years ago I started a simple off grid van/home backup system. Ecoflow’s scale able plug and play simplicity is now my first choice for a 21st century small home (independent from archaic electric grid monopolies) Thank you for leading so many of us towards a lower impact future.

It's been awful looking across the ditch and seeing the mayhem of floods & cyclones which usually happen on our side, not yours! So glad you and Rasa are going off-grid to help insure you against the ravages of our increasingly extreme climate. Love the portable solar panels! Cheers from Melbourne 😊

A lot of storms happening in the mid west U.S., too! Feeling for everyone whose been affected in any way.

Bryce is such an honest and genuine person you immediately trust him and anything he'd recommend anyway. You just know that it has to be right for him to believe in it before he'd recommend it 😊

Great to see you let your hair grow long again. I have enjoyed your videos for some time and don't comment often. Even though I live in an apartment, I find storage and decorating inspiration from small house videos. Keep up the good work. God bless you.

I am happy you mention the weather nightmares going on in your part of the world, I am glad you’re both well, and I am very sorry for those two many cyclone victims. - I bought a Ecoflow set (Delta) last autumn, so not too much experience here in Ireland, I managed to load both batteries though (same portable panels as you).

I dig the EcoFlow products. After watching this, I will be using the power kit instead of conventional electrical wiring for my cabin.

Amazing hi-tech house. Love how eco-friendly it was.

Thank you for the great recommendation & explanation!

I love this video. Ecoflow is indeed a game changer...

Safe travels to you both love and blessings to everyone

Just one thing to be aware of with high frequency inverters such as Ecoflow. Is that if you use an appliance with a high inrush current, such as a table saw. Then it gives a really nasty voltage output to protect itself. This weird voltage output won't hurt the saw. But it is quite likely to damage other things connected. Which is why I would recommend using a low frequency inverter such as Victron. Low frequency inverters are just bulletproof. Let just put it like this. I've never seen a high frequency style inverter in any datacenter or place serious about their constant voltage supply.

If I do a tiny house I am definitely going with this solar kit!

nice videography

So good talk about autarky and the problems that have surrounded New Zealand so far thank you for this Sry for my bad English

Thank you, that was very useful. Saved it for further purposes.

I'm so sorry you've had so much dangerous weather in New Zealand, the destruction and loss of life and peace of mind is indeed a wake up call for everyone to work towards community, kindness, caring for each other and realizing that we need each other more now than ever. The solar system is amazing, though I am sure priced probably beyond many people's means.

I love your tiny home, you made a very good decision using ecoflow

happy trails to you!

Super beautiful house!

Awesome set up!

Much love to you guys 💕💕💕

Hey Bryce and Rasa, I hope all your friends and family/ies are all safe. I did actually think of you both as I checked on some of my friends and family in the North Island while sitting in Europe. You guys literally had the worst summer, it's awful. The same type of awful as the Australian Fires as I was in them! I agree, the weather does nothing but cements the need for greater acceptance of Tiny Worldwide. I hope governments start waking up and realise that they're needed and they aren't 'gypsies' or 'trailer trash' but actually modern homes with the same creature comforts on a tiny scale. All the best! Looking forward to your future videos.

It's the way you explain for me. Your delivery is perfect 💯 %. Bryce you're amazing. The Oscars should put KZread channels as a category for creators. You're one of the best. God bless you and Raza ( I hope I've got her name right) 🙏 ❤

Looking forward to your adventures.

This one is really bloody beautiful. "I want that one"!

so helpful. thank you!

We were lucky in that the tiny we bought, to live in while we wait on the one we designed to get built, had a full solar package on it and a rain catchment system already on it. I wasn't going to do solar on our dream home but have decided now to do it. I'll definitely check out EcoFlow.
