Off-grid, because the grid can't contain us! Welcome to our off-grid homesteading family.
Sick of the same old stuff? We didn't want any part of it so we dumped the system and built a little cabin in the woods of northern BC, Canada. We enjoy everything outdoors; hunting, fishing, gardening, raising animals and just general homesteading. We love building stuff and developing new skills (some of which are actually very old).
Without debt we work less and have more time to explore! We spend more time in the woods, more time learning new things and more time with friends and family.

identical system i have... i get 15 amps at 55 volts ... bout 825 watts... been running it for over 30 yrs ( i have 2" poly pipe with 180 ft of head over about 250 ft distance)... single nozzle... and it never freezes ,.. even if it goes to 40 below for a month.(which it has a number of times over the years)
Add some aluminum powder or iron powder to the mix. Spectacular 🤩
Or if you had the grid, you sell back the extra.
Hi! Any ideas how to make dishwashing soap?
that was a blast to watch
I know you are having fun, But, this is the Most impractical off grid power system. I can produce 25K all day long with solar, charge 60K of batteries and No Noise and No Noise! All that work for such little power. And Most don't have wood available. We all have sun. I produce even on cloudy days.
Praying I can find one for under 1k! What a blessing finding one for 100!
to get the generator to stay running during abrupt load changes: weighted flywheel.
How do these systems hold up in winter? Do you have alternative strategies for when everything is frozen? Do you just store enough water to last the winter?
Just wondering if you ever got the Wood Gasifier up and running where you could use that instead of using gas in the generator.
O-Gaud! Don't tell everyone how much you're saving aka making off the property... Trudeau has Taxes for that. According to CRA that is Income and subject to Income Tax... Someone who may be offended by your prosperity could blow the whistle on you, then look out... Sheesh! Btw, I love the video and after looking at the "Get Together", I'd love to participate. However, I don't know if I could afford it. Also, You don't mention anything about Bathroom Facilities for those staying in a tent, as I would be... You might check that 🙂
Que buen queso.!! Saludos desde Paraguay 🇵🇾🇵🇾🇵🇾❤
"Those grow back" lololol
You could possibly make a natural filtration system, before collecting the water into maybe a tank and then running it through the generator.
This was a great overview / update video! Only suggestion is maybe it needs just a bit more Dave. 🤔
I make mine similar but use pulled pork shoulder and add a over easy egg on top.. Oh so good.. Love the family gathering.. A+ video
Id like to know the costs
Gridlessness part 3 electricity from wood gasification.
What is the white Power?
That smash burger is a heart attack in the making, but it looks so good.
my question is, do you guys only have this one channel or do you have another one or do the girls have a channel? inquiring minds want to know and cuz I would love to see the full video of the Northern Lights
Silver Tree Woodworking for the win!
I wonder if the large system is experiencing a backflow problem. The pressure might be pushing back on the system causeing the slowdown.
Wood Power is what people used to rely on & while it's good your responsible you can be even more "self-sufficient" with a Job paying a Energy Company. People need to realize Europeans evolved from methods like these 100s of years ago & whether you choose to use wood as a fuel or go to work & buy your electricity it requires time & commitment either way. While this stuff seems kinda fun modern living makes it so much easier to sustain human life. It's why we are living so much longer than we used to.
Please make a video updating how all the girls are doing. It seems like they just dropped off the channel with no mention at all, not even guest appearances.
Yay hot dave. 😁😁
In my humble opinion, I think that the turbine is not capable of managing the amount of water flow, all the water that enters the turbine helps move it but also slows it down, so you could be losing performance, you should try with less flow. water and test the performance, with a slightly larger turbine you would still have better performance for that level of water
"It's, basically, Fall..."
18:52 The day you create useable gas from wood, changes you :) A highlight in my own ledger. Congrats on a super quality build and test.
I had no idea muzzle loader kits were a thing. I'm ordering one right now.
I'm doing my own thing... no mortgage. $60 in power but I don't have solar yet...garden ...my 2 acres is only $60 in taxes...I can have 2 growing seasons. I have blueberries grapes and passion fruit just wildly growing...fruit trees .... don't have much for animals yet...I just started last year.
Nice work on the 3d Printing. Love that truck. I have a body I was thinking about dropping on my Silverado SS frame :)
🙏💕😎💕🙏
😅😅😅 Love you Loads
YOU DID GOOD, WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE.
Solar isn't free, in fact it's far from free! You had to buy everything to get and to store those "electrons", and on top of that, in time it will have to all be replaced. None of that is cheap so your electricity is FAR from free. SR
I love the channel. We need to see "Hot" Dave more often.
AS usual ---- well done -----
OMG im about to gag!!!!! You have trained these gurls well! hahahahahaaaaa
Thank you all So much! This Earth is Blessed for the amazing time you are spending here. I hope you have a Fantastic summer. ❤
throwing to fast. Or trying too hard.
Great to it working out for u both and your family 🇳🇿❤️

God provides.
You've got enough nuts there already.
Always a fun time hanging out with fellow Canadians who are living their own life, like we do as well. Might I suggest you get a clip on external microphone Cheers
How come Jeff ALWAYS gets the camera and microphone to jibber into and leaves all the work to Rose and the girls ??
I had wanted to comment on the Beer for Children video, but comments are turned off. I have basically almost been binge watching all of your channel entries since you visited the Tiny Shiny Home family a couple of months ago. I am so impressed with the family activities and interactions, that this is one channel that I would recommend to people of all age groups. All the girls (including Rose) are amazing and you have also done a pretty good job as well so keep up the good work.
