Remodeling My Off Grid Camper

January 19th, 2012   I just finished building a desk and a set of book shelves in my off grid camper. The camper originally had two twin sized beds in the bedroom. In all, it had space for 6 adults to sleep. Since I am alone, I figured the extra bed would not do

Winter Living In My Off Grid Camper

January 10th, 2012   I have moved my off grid camper even farther away from the nearest house. It is about 1,000 feet into the forest, in a clearing all its own. I also have full sunshine most of the day now, which helps with my solar experiments.   I am

Survival Gruel – Eating Your Survival Grains and Stock

I was thinking about how to use all those grains, legumes, rice and other dried survival foods I have put away with minimal cooking and preparation time. And it should be enjoyable to eat, plus fill you up nicely. And it should not leave the body starving for any necessary nutrients. &nbs

The Value Of Trade Items In A Survival Situation

Mainstay 3600 Emergency Survival Rations – Review

I recently tried the Mainstay 3600 Emergency Food Rations just to get an idea what it tastes like and how satisfying it is. It is not a good idea to suddenly need survival rations and then start to experiment with your taste buds. Food should taste good as well as providing all the necessary nutr

Buy whole grain animal feed for cheap long term survival storage. Storage, preparation and use of whole grains

After many weeks of research and considering the idea of buying “horse feed” for long term food storage, I finally broke down and got a bag. You can find bulk grains at animal feed stores for much cheaper than grain packaged as “people food” and it is normally the exact sa

Survival preparations do not need to be expensive. Many items can be found cheaply or for fee.

One of the biggest obstacles facing people who want to prepare for survival or an emergency is the cost. Many people spend thousands on expensive freeze dried meals, top of the line outdoor survival gear and expensive military style assault rifles. If I went with those ideas, I would still be sit

Dont just plan for survival and emergency preparedness – practice it

Some people may already be putting away supplies for a rainy day, so to speak. Many people plan for emergencies or a survival situation and stockpile food, blankets, ammo, water and other supplies, but never practice using any of them. What good is it to go out and buy a brand new shiny $1,600 as

Road trip and some things explained

Melanie and I are going on a road trip this weekend. We are going to my Grandmother's 92nd birthday. And I explain some things about our YouTube channel.   We were not sure that we were going to go on this trip or not. We only just made the decision for sure. At 92 years old

Winter Care Of Animals At The Off Grid Homestead

Many people have been asking about how we take care of the animals in winter. We make daily videos of our life out here at the off grid homestead but recently we have been busy with projects and have not shown the animals in a while.   People were threatening to unsubscribe t

Built Final Tiny House Loft Office Wall & Book Shelves

I finally got the tiny house upstairs loft office wall closed in. I also put up some shelves on the new wall to store our recycled pallet wood products out of the way. I have wanted to close in the tiny house loft office for a while now.   I looked around in our scrap pallet

Installing New Power Inverter In My Off Grid Tiny House

My old faithful PowerBright 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter finally died on me. Someone sent us a new PowerBright 3,500 watt inverter which I installed today in place of the old one.   First I removed the positive cable leading from the battery bank to the power inverter. T

Snowy Day At The Off Grid Homestead

We got more snow the other day. It snowed most of the morning, dropping 4 inches of wet snow and then turned to rain. I worked inside the tiny house on the computer and spent some time in the off grid wood shop on wheels.   Since it was slushing out - snowing and raining - I
