Could You Survive Off Grid? What If The First Few Days Where Like This? 

What is Lane's web address for the jet stove?

With all of your possessions and all that you have going for you, your greatest treasure is ROSE!!!!!

I moved to Chile in 2013. Never looked back. Free. Safe. No taxes. No stress. Just living with my family. Jim

Your right!! Your wife is adorable.

I lived off-grid in the mountains, 8 miles from the nearest road, for a decade. There was a small spring at the bottom of the property. At first I would fill a 5 gallon jug with water, tie it to a backpack frame and carry it back up to camp. Eventually I came up with a 1,000 gallon wooden tank that I mounted 15 foot up between three pine trees. The repurposed an old generator motor to run a pump, and pumped water up to the tank. For hot water in the summer I used a 100 foot coil of black PVC pipe laying on the ground in the sun. It would sometimes get too hot and I would need to drag half of the coil into the shade. For hot water in the winter I built a wood stove using construction bricks, and put a coil of copper tubing in the flu. It was amazingly sufficient and I would need to careful not to build too big of a fire in it or it would turn the water into steam. It also doubled as an outdoor stove for cooking on. --- Even though I moved on-grid 20-some years ago, have grid electricity and a nice well for water, and now live the closest I have lived to "civilization" (15 miles to the nearest town) I still do a lot of things the same as I learned to do while living off-grid.

The French Canadians created awesomeness with that dish! Awesomeness on Gridlessness ! Yummy!

Could I ? Yep. And I'd love it!

my parents just sold our house in abbotsford and we moved to teepee lakes area. i love it out here you guys are a huge inspiration

I wish so bad we could have come for the camp out. You guys are the best I love you guys and your channel. I need to get me a gridlessness hat too!

Nice looking land I just built a cabin in the middle of no we’re in Nova Scotia and I love it

The pump up yard sprayers make fantastic outdoor showers. Get the 3 or 5 gallon tank with the hose, you can just spray off and easily rinse out those nooks and crannies.

This family is so precious!!!!!!

Thank you for all your awesome videos.

Jeff, you became a leader, bro!

Totally awesome. What a great adventure those people at the Off Grid Campout must of had.

Great job, looks like everyone is having a wonderful time.

The hot sauce is the 🔥ticket! Seriously great video, as always. Never tire of seeing the positive energy!

Great video again guys the girls as always showing off skills that are impressive to see way to go can't wait for next video thanks for bringing us along

Love this, thanks for sharing the fun. The food looks so good.

Loved this video, so wonderful to see part of the fun living in the wild. Cheers and thanks for sharing this.

Truly love all your Videos and your family.

Excellent video. What a cool bunch.

Outstanding job. Looks like a lot of fun. Good luck and God bless y'all.

Great job again Nice to see so many like minded people young and old

You all are amazing people.

This looks like it was so much fun!!! I miss camping!

Looks like a fun time, great video.

Such a great looking setup! Really wish it would have been feasible for me to come see it in person with my wife and kids! But a gridlessness video is the next best thing! That is so much for sharing your family and friends with us all. It truly means a lot! Dave in Florida

Loving your shower with two styles of trees for back scratcher. Stay all excited, you are your enough to enjoy another round of camping. My outdoor days are limited to 1.5 acres with trees and plants. Perhaps when I’m older and my spousal unit is gone I will venture one last campsite away from our kids and other people. Cheers guys. Wishing you and your family a blessed week and gentle weather. Peace

So nice I would feel like I was home. Great guys. Take care and be safe out there.

Yep, I can see myself contemplating in the banyo. With the beautiful scenery. To me, anything outdoors in a beautiful majestic place is great 👍

beautiful camp site and beautiful nature

Been watching your channel for almost 2 years now! Love all yall do. ORANGE TEXAS.

Awesome camp. I'm sure it helped those folks who attended. It's gonna take a community to get through it.

Kuulest off grid vid I've seen in awhile. Makes SHTF seem like it's going to be fun. Never forget to always bring humor into the lives of those around you as it's a necessary ingredient to cohesive adjustments

So. I just found your RU-vid page a few nights ago. So refreshing. I love watching all your work. You guys are doing an amazing job at making off grid living look do able. May God Bless your while family

fantastic! well done.

I love sunshine too !

Looks like a good time !!!

Cool guys ,watching from south east Ireland

Hey guys just wanted to thank you for the great leather bound journal...it's beautiful...thank you very much!

Your whole family is so awesome. Your videos are enjoyed by my whole family. Thank you so much for taking the time to entertain, educate, and inspire so many people. Also, why are you not all scout leaders? You would be perfect.

I really enjoy watching how awesome you are raising your girls. Yah bless

A great cover of your " mash- up"! Abbi n her truck saved the day!!!! Girl's teaching team...you did great! * Rose * you outdid yourself with your kitchen/ food prep/ meals served!!!! Wow!! - Jeff/ Dave- what can I say??? Lol! Awesome 👌! Thanks for sharing 👍!!

Not sure how you did it, BUT Rose is not only GEORGEOUS, but she cooks AND bakes!!!! Good stuff !!! New camp is awesome, I am very sure people will want to visit and learn.

Great video guys

Great video God's Blessing on all your adventures

Love you guys. Thanks for giving back so many years of advice and life experiences... I bought a stove.

your living the life I could only dream of. I'm so happy for what you and your family has achieved together. congratulations guys.

Yes Yes & YES to your question at the Start. 🙏🏻👍🏻🤩👏🏻

It's a great idea. Need more people out ,showing everyone how help the world.

Really amzing and beautiful Great job to you all. The food truck truck is really fantastic.

It looks Awesome 🙌. You Folks did an amazing job. Have a blast! JO JO IN VT 😆💕🇺🇸

we are thinking about doing something similar with our new land. We are hoping to get a simple cabin built before we move there, but you guys have given me the confidence to move even if its not up yet

nice I like the sunray over the clay-oven looks like an initiation mood of Super Preciousness

Nice setup you have.. Of course it takes money to even get started, that's a big problem for a lot of people.. And it's so cool that you have friends doing it with you, makes the world of difference.. Great stove.. you must have a good source of water nearby to get all that shower water etc.. Many blessings to you all on your adventures in survival.. you got a great start💖💖💖

Wow sooo much Birch could use that at our cabin we have none .It is what we use for smoking fish but we have to bring it from our house in Okanagan . looks like you had fun and ate well.

I've been off grid for over a year and have had it much rougher than you do. Constant cold feet in the winter isn't fun! It will get better. And I wouldn't give up the peace and quiet here for anything!

I used a similar system for a toilet, I used dry dirt not wood chips and no bag in the five gallon bucket. I just buried the contents when it was full. Worked rather well. Only used it for about 8 months, but now I have a real place to live.

Well Done Guys, Well Done 👍

FABULOUS!!!!

Dude... . You all's energy at like 830 minutes is what made me have to have this comment... It's when you know you did something right.. Haven't even finished the video but there is where it let's me know something is right...

Congratulations ✌️

Wonderful. You guys are amazing. Wish I could have been with you, but I’m a little old and located in Africa.

So FUN! 💗💗💗

Keep sharing at it Folks and Friends.

I love roses laugh 😁

Hobbit house and earth berm is such a fabulous idea Jeff for a camp in the woods. I wish there was a remedy for national bird of the Canada, Mosquitos !! enjoyed watching this episode, specially outdoor kitchen setup!

I just bought a Titan and it surpasses all of my expectations compared to the rest of the ones that I looked at online for the same price the quality of this one surpasses all of them we do a lot of camping and a lot of the campsites we go to don't allow us to have an open flame and this is perfect it makes for easy setup clean up once you're done you just pack it up and you're on your way thank-you Minuteman

Looks like a fun time!!! 👍❣❤❣👍

When y'all were showing the tent, I could actually smell it. Haven't been out in the woods for longer than I like to admit and truly miss it. Grew up in the Pacific Northwest and camped all over the Peninsula and Cascades. Now I'm stuck in Denver and hate it.

Nice to see all those smiling faces. 😁

Dave needs his own youtube channel. Building furniture!!!

Love it.

MORE!!! You had to get more footage than this. I need more. I’m to blasted old and broken to do it with you, so I need more.

I really enjoy your video

We just bought a wood fire hot tub! Oh my it works so well!

U guys are such an inspiration 💫💗🥳 Ur event looked Ahhh-mazing !!! We really wanted to be there with u all but currently we are in Niagara on the lake . However we do plan to follow ur path but we are starting with a 45ft coach bus to bring to the land . My husband and I can’t get enough of ur family . U guys r incredible , thank u so much for sharing ur journey. Side note … can it get any better … poutine in a forest 😯what the 😜👍🏽👍🏽🥳 Cheers to supporting local 🙏🏼💗

Underground shelter with South facing access, would be awesome and a dream!

I own a 100 acre century farm. I'm thinking of putting in a solar so I can get off the electrical grid. We just had a storm that knocked us out for 5 days. Cost a fortune keeping the generator going so we didn't lose all of our meat.

Looks like you guys had a blast on the inaugural Gridlessness campout and ill bet that poutine was second to none and the icing on the cake being the hot sauce, i sure would like to attend but I'm about 3000 miles away on the opposite end of the country from you guys i know gas is very cheap but i just can't afford it lol ,been living the camping life for most of my life now and we have a hunting cabin 20klm back in the woods so i get how much fun being out of doors can be, i enjoyed the video and it sounds like maybe your looking to buy more land and build more off grid campsites 😀

Looks like it was a great success.

presently my arthritis prevents me from travelling one day though that may change & then I will have the help to make the trip. But it looks a very interesting & friendly 4 days in the woods The food looks fantastic Hmm. Les England

good one

YES! Berkey! My favorite!

First few days? My wife and I lived in a dome tent for 3 months while I built our offgrid home. I grew up tenting while hunting and fishing, for short periods, but I officially hate tents now. 😂

I learned my lesson watching your earlier videos. Turn the AC down to as cold as you can get it, fire up the BBQ and eat some steaks with roasted potatoes while watching. It feels like you're right there except I really did drool when that poutine showed up even though I was eating steak.

nice i am basically inlove with the lifestyle.

Well I survived alone and off-grid for 3 months at a remote cattle station, 100km to nearest town, 40km to next property. I was there as a caretaker while the owners were away for 3-4 weeks at horse events and we got record ran and they couldn't get back in to the homestead and of course I couldn't get out. Lots more to the story, but the main difference to your area is that apart from the recent rain, the 1 million acre place is effectively an arid desert.

Stove looks well built have herd good things about all there products I'll have to try one

Very cool and a new thing for gridlessness idea.I am expecting something....... lets see what a future brings to us! Odotellaan joitakin uusia ideoita(waiting for some "crazy" new ideas)

boy I'm hungry now. When Canada opens up again I would love to come up

Was that a treadle lathe? I LOVE IT!

Amazing 🤩

Oh thank god those were only wood chips. I saw something dark in the bottom of the toilet and was mortified. 😂. Hope it all works out well. Wish I could have gone and met you guys.

this way to cool

Wow, I sure wish I could have made it there. I do hope you will do it again!

So wish we could have made it. But five wee lambs on the ground and still milking one of the cows. We had the fortune of being able to live in our old "normal" house while building our off grid dwelling. We're in our garage for now with our 5 young kids. This year we're working on the barn/hayshed and hopefully get some work done on the house site. 😊

Awesome

That camp is awesome until the end of May when all the mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, horse flies start making their appearance. We have an off grid property in the U.P. and you must have a way to get away from those demons because it can make for a pretty miserable experience. What I think I enjoy the most is getting to use my ingenuity to come up with solutions to make camp life easier.
