United States
Приєднався 28 жов 2021
Follow my off the grid journey in the beautiful hills of Tennessee. Building cabins, bridges across multiple creeks, putting up wall tents, open fire cooking, camping, hiking and more on nearly 30 acres of pristine wooded countryside.

See and hear thru video and music the experience of what it's like to be without the convenience of electricity, running water, plumbing or heat/AC.

How I Tapped a Rock Bottom Ground Spring | 50th in Canadian Rockies | Itehil Portable Water Purifier
Finished tapping my spring using bentonite clay and hydraulic cement. Overall, it was a successful learning experience as I'm getting about a gallon per minute of fresh, cold spring water.
Celebrated my 50th birthday mid-May in the Canadian Rockies. What an unforgettable trip.
Thanks to Itehil for sending me their portable water purifier to test out. Seems like a really useful product to have on hand. You can buy one at a discount below:

In the last video I installed a rainwater storage system with gravity fed filtration. Unfortunately, there was no rain to test the system out. Three weeks later and we are ready to see THE RESULTS!

Weekend at the Cabin Installing Rainwater Storage with Gravity Fed Filtration - Will it Work?
Переглядів 56 тис.2 місяці тому
I designed a rainwater collection system for my off grid cabin and really have no idea if it will even work. Rain is in the forecast this week so we will find out. Up until now, I have been hauling water from my home to the cabin. I’m not a plumber, so leave some tips, comments on how you think it will do or how to improve it. I’m sure it will need some tweaking. Next video will be a full revie...

Переглядів 21 тис.3 місяці тому
After some weather and snow delays the bridge is finally complete. This bridge is needed to get to the future cabin build site. The hills are roughly a 35° incline/decline so it’s not an easy trip. The maiden voyage was almost a disaster as I started sliding backwards down the hill. The only thing that stopped me was a large tree. Once I regained traction, I.made it up the hill pretty easily.

What is The Off Grid Experience? | Ten Years Ago | History Lesson | 2024 - Age of Deception
Переглядів 29 тис.4 місяці тому
This video provides a commentary on how and why I decided to start this channel. It details events from 2013 to present day and also highlights some facts about our country’s history that many may not know and certainly not taught in schools today. 2024 is setting up to be one of the most interesting years in memory. Deception is all around. Be not deceived… #offgrid #homestead #constitution #2024

Was able to take advantage of nice weather the past few weekends and get the bridge 90% done. Started laying the decking after getting the bracing secured. Still need to add a few lag bolts. I also tried sharpening one of my axes with a file for the first time . #offgrid #bridge #asmr #cabin #homestead

I soooo love this channel and how you share the journey with us all. So nice to see your beautiful wife more too! Happy birthday!
The image is wrong: smaller house!
That green paint isn't cheap, why not go with a cheaper yet durable side by side such as a Kubota?? The 4x4s are strong little things that can accomplish more than what i would have guessed. If you search you can usually find one that is a year or so old and either been traded in or repossessed.
How many acres you have??? Sure would be nice if you could build a damn for the creek and have a little pond
Good stuff keep it up thanks for your content
Beautiful cabin. I love it.
Happy late birthday brother hope you enjoy Canada cabins looking great keep up the good work bro
lol thought that was a toaster
It kinda does look like one...haha.
God bless you, Brother.
Grandson of the forest
You are not off rid you are using a video camera. LOL don't mention the trolls you are OK ! Come move out west we'd love to have you!
Living off grid does not mean living like a caveman
Happy Birthday
Thanks 👍
Cool 😎
how much overhang did you leave on your logs
1 ft. On roof overhang. 6 " on wall logs 👍
excellent video.thanks
It’s nice that you made a number of conveniences and comfort not just for you but also your wife. And things that you have put in place I feel like they are definitely off grid no matter what somebody thinks. It’s not like you’re getting power from electric and water from a faucet from the People have to pay every month. And I do think it’s a little bit nicer than off grid like the old days because we didn’t have these new things to help you build up the things that you have made. However, in the old days there was a lot of people that were just like you. so I’m very proud of your work and I love your cabin. I would love to have a place set up like you have. But at my age, but I can dream along with you as you live it
Very nice ✝️❤️✝️
If you don't have waist length hair a 4 minute shower is enough lol. for me it's a little longer than that.
Just found your channel, going to check out previous videos. Enjoying so far. Thanks.
Thats a good catch basin but it should feed your main tank that is sealed except for a air vent keep all critters out. And spring lizards hav to be able to get in the pipe they keep it flowing??? I ve lived in the Appalachian s all my life My 500 gal tank has 2 catch basins .and my out pipes are at least 6" off the bottom. I clean them every fall Just trying to save you sum hard knocks learning
Awesome vidiography, NC USA 🇺🇸
Happy Birthday. The pictures you shared of your visit to the area of Banff are beautiful. We pass through that area from where we live in Southern BC, to family in Alberta. Always photos to take. Different seasons, all have so much beauty. God's creation is amazing, if we but open our eyes. Nice work on your spring. Will you need to do anything for the " spring", to go through winter?
Thanks. One of most beautiful places I've been 👍
Will never forget my four years of being stationed in Montana(Late 70s Early 80's). Spring, Summers, Fall were fantastic backpacking adventures as much as possible. Been to some of the places you show. In the winter we had a favorite song from Randy Bachman/Neil Young - Potage and Main - 30F below, you stay inside and rock and roll.
It's a beautiful area. 👍
Thanks for the nice video. ✌️😁👍
How much fall to the cabin ? Wondering if running a line to the hot tub and one to a large tank to feed cabin,the over flow could feed a small micro hydo set up to provide some power. Bentonite is amazing stuff.
Cabin will be above have to use some type of pump to get water there or just do it the old fashioned and way and carry it.
I feel at peace just watching you enjoy your property
@OGE Is that crooked tree at 4.26 one of those native American trail markers, or just a crooked tree? Nice videos, regards from UK 🇬🇧
Haha...I think just a crooked tree.
👍👍
Great choice of music... fits the scene....
That looks like a great setup!
I love watching all your videos, I'm from Tennessee also
Rocky Mountain High!
Happy 50th birthday. Thank you for producing the videos, I find them informative and relaxing. M
Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Interesting video. One question I have is the seasonal water flow in that creek and whether there’s a chance of water running on to your spring. It seems pretty level with the creek right there. I’m guessing that you’ve already thought about that but I’m curious either way.
Good question. The Spring is a couple feet above creek. Will definitely have to monitor it when we get torrential rains. 👍
Nice job! Back to laying track for my outdoor ride on railroad! Happy Saturday!
Thanks for watching 👍
Good Morning Sir. I really enjoy your content. Its very thorough and you explain everything very well. It is very exciting to share your journey. Absolutely loved the Photos. You def have an eye for capturing the Beauty around you. Which means you have to see it. Some miss the details but you capture them. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thanks Billy. Well said. You have to see the beauty to really capture it. In a fast-paced world, that's hard to do sometimes.
Another fascinating video my friend! Many happy returns for your recent birthday and wonderful pictures from your trip. Your property is looking so pretty right now. Cheers from Australia xoxo
Many thanks!
Hi man, greetings from Italy. Very great job, but i have 2 questions for u: 1° why did you change the logo of your channel and 2° i cannot find anymore the videos about the beginning of the construction, i wonder if you deleted them and why. Enjoy your life with your family. Bye
Thanks. The new logo is a better representation of the channel.
Great information if we decide to do this too, THANK YOU
Glad it was helpful!
Is the soil too rocky for a sandpoint well next to the cabin?
Yes. Clay and rock.
It's great to see u build a spring. I planning on building one on my property soon. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Birthday there eh!
Thanks 👍
