You guys are awesome. My wife just sent me this video this morning. Then I watched another. Then subscribed. Then watched 90% of the rest of your videos. A true marathon of your new life. This was so much fun. You guys are so brave. I did kind of the same thing 7 years ago. Except I'm not off grid. But it still is an adventure. Love your videos. Can't wait for the next one. Oh, by the way, think rocket heater. It's all over RU-vid.
our solution is rain water catchment and then purifying what we use for drinking and cooking. Our shelter right now is temporary so the tanks are above ground and outside, so we buy water at the grocery store for 39 cents a gallon. I generally get a dozen or so 2.5 gallon jugs filled a week (like you, it's just the two of us and a cat). We've just had a really good snowstorm, so we'll probably be melting snow and icicles for wash water, and filter it if we need to for drinking water. We use a Lifesaver brand filter, but I hear the Berkeys are good too.
Great job sir .... My husband has been in production and On Air his whole adult career so maybe I tend to notice the little things more than most ;) I want to let you know how much I love your video style . You don't stumble through your thoughts & get off track or speak to slowly etc you say what your are thinking and it comes out clear and smoothly and to the point ...Making it informative and entertaining - Easy to listen to ...Keep up the great work !
+Ozark Cottontop Oh good. You can spend an entire career mastering these things which is deceptive as most folks think, like most things it's just easy and everyone should do it. If we stutter, that's just because it's authentic and we don't have a million dollar production crew behind us. Two people and a DSLR Camera. Glad you enjoy it! :)
Pure Living for Life I love the realness of your work =) yet it flows very well and that is a natural talent - not one that is man made ... There is so much more to production than ppl realize.. There is even a art to keeping it real ;) My husband is a ''professional'' yes and I am proud of him but that is a whole other market ... I do NOT Mean that in a negative way toward anyone else .Heck I am in awe of everyone doing this lol .. It is just refreshing to view your style and I felt you earned a compliment on your hard work .... I wish I was as talented
back the truck up to the water source... leave the jugs in the truck and use a longer hose with a ball valve to stop the water and not make a mess in the truck
It is refreshing to see a positive video about the realities of off grid lifestyles. I am lucky to have made my off grid life on a boat were my solar power drives a desalination unit to fill my two 150 gallon fresh water tanks. Never a dull moment when being self reliant !!! Great effort and attitude sir !!! Really happy I came across your channel !!
+Alan Marine are you still living aboard your boat? I am wanting to make this transition in the next 8 years (before im 40). It has always been a dream of mine.
+sleepingsunrise Yes... I have lived on my boats since 1996. I don't think I could live on the land again :-) The typhoons and monsoons are an adventure, but just part of nature that is unavoidable and a little perpetration for it goes a long way !!!
We live about 50 miles south of you and have a few acres that we're slowly building on about 25 miles south of you. During the summer when everything was dusty, we needed water for keeping the dust down etc. Our solution was a 275 gallon tank that we hauled with a 3/4 ton dodge and filled up at a water station a few miles away from the property. Harbor freight has both 120v and 12v water pumps that we used to pressurize the water and used a simple garden hose to a sprinkler. Worked great, but we generally emptied the water tote while it was on the truck because 275 gallons of water weighs over 2k lbs. Luckily if we ever needed to get the full tote off the truck, we were able to use our tractor with forks on it. Also, a quarter gets you 100 gallons(at least at the station that we used). Anyways, it's cool to see what other people from our area are doing. If you ever need help, feel free to let us know!
Sweet! We've seen and researched a lot of tank styles. The problems are the same with all of them for our needs. We discuss this more on our blog for those that want to learn more. Can't wait to have a tractor or other similar tool. Will make these heavy jobs a lot easier!
Subscribed after watching your second or third video I've seen. Super cool to see so many people waking up and not wanting to be in the rat race anymore. That's where my wife and I are and we are planning to move outside of the city into school bus and then work on building an earthship and becoming completely self reliant. Permaculture, the whole shebang. Good luck and I look forward to more videos.
Moved off-grid over 30 years ago. Into existing, but primitive house. Had a drilled well in the basement with a hand pump. After 2 weeks of using a bucket for water-everything, we installed a used deep-well pump and ran it with a generator when we needed to fill a pressure tank. You quickly find how much water you really need and how much you wasted, before. Life was much more interesting, back then. Technology has greatly improved off-grid living.
This is great. I love those bottles. I'm lugging water in the big blue water jugs you get in the camping department and they are just too heavy, but I need water. It's free from a spring but it must be hauled in just the same. I just moved onto my property in October and started my reefer conversion. I'm living in it as I convert it. The wood cook stove was put in, on Dec. 17th, it was nippy. But you are so right no property is perfect but you make it work. Lovin the videos. Thanks.
That is my plan. I now have found my well and have welded my riser onto it. I'm putting a no freeze hand pump on that and it will pump into the bath tub in the bath house. The pump house/ bath house is a short walk from the house and it's a wagon in the summer or a sled in the winter. Only a short walk however. Much better now. The spring is always a good back up year round.
I am always amazed at people who have snow but go miles away to get water for their off grid living, when you have tons ( if you don't already know snow is just cold WATER)of snow right where you are living.!!!
Necessity is the mother of all invention!! Few things in life are essential but its amazing how essential those few things are. A LOG CABIN springs to mind. Good luck guys
I live off grid with no running water hook up but I have never hauled water to my place from somewhere else. I see you have snow on the ground there.. That's water !! Mother nature will supply you with all the water you ever need if you get yourself set up to catch and store it..
There are used food grade containers that you can buy,anywhere from 60 gallons all the way up to a couple hundred. To dispense from these type of tanks a simple method is to put a pneaumatic air fitting in the lid of said container.......then using a car powered air pump,pressurize the tank to no more than 5 psi. It will transfer the water in a reasonable time with much less effort. The 6 gallon containers could then be your backup water.
The old KISS is best. Keep It Simple Stupid. The more you add the more problems develop. I was raised (partly) on a small ranch in Montana so you kids are doing well. Look to the end from time to time to keep your goal in sight, but one day at a time is best. Good luck and hang in there or from my generation in the 60's--"keep on Truckin".

My property is on a creek. In the mountains (I'm actually in a valley. The mountains are 30 seconds away). An hour from the 2 nearest towns of any size, but only 20 minutes from a tiny town with a store. My cabin is off-grid, but there are power lines at the corner of my property. There isn't much of a winter (which is why I bought property in Oklahoma), and there's lots of rain for rooftop water catchment. Long growing season, because food is good. The best part though, is I have 10 acres, all of which could be used for growing food if I needed to. That's the only part that worries me about your property. It's gorgeous, but it doesn't look like there's much flat area for growing crops - especially after having the septic tank put in. I'd be interested in a video or blog post about that - things you're considering, etc. Maybe some raised beds over the septic tank?
Nearly half of our property is well suited for animals, tree and food crops. It'll take a while to get it all working for us but it should produce more than enough of all the above. Thankfully the septic location resulted in a very small footprint and is in an area that wasn't ideal for much else anyway. Sounds like you have a sweet place down there! Enjoy a cold glass of Luzianne tea for us!
That's good, then. In the videos, it looks like the flat area is just a tiny little sliver of land, so I was saying to myself "How are they gonna grow anything on that?"
I don't have a ton of money saved up but I also don't want to spend the next 3 to 5 years saving when I could be spending that time building my Homestead. Water is so unbelievably cheap so I'm thinking that maybe at least in the short-term owning some land that I can take water to might be better than living in the apartment, of course everyone wants to have a creek on their property and a forest and maybe a dozen other things but I really like what you're doing especially the big tent around the camper to give yourself a little more warmth and a little bit of area that is not quite outdoors and not quite indoors but never the less useful.
Hi guy, first let me wish you both the best of luck, you're facing a ruff road ahead. I noticed in one of your video's you mentioned you currently didn't have a cooking oven. I'd suggest a Coleman Camp Oven if you've not heard of that before. You may have an oven now but if not the Coleman Oven can be used on your wood stove. It can be used on a BBQ grill or a Coleman stove. I prefer the Coleman White Gas stoves over propane because of cold weather but that's just a preference. You don't have to rely on the Sun! You can bake when you want with the Coleman camp oven. Check them out, you can get them 2nd hand on Ebay for about $20 bucks or less. Another suggestion is simply Make and oven. Basically an oven is a metal box if you think about it. A cooking thermometer can be used as a means to check your baking temps. You have access to metal, All you need do is make a metal box to place on top of your wood stove, make a simple rack system an there you have it! Or do what my grandmother did and use the wood stove as an oven. Dutch ovens also work well! Good luck!
With the snow around you, you could spend $20 and get a Sawyer Mini water purifier, put the snow in a camelback style bag, and let it gravity feed into a potable container. Might want to consider it, if it ever gets to be a hassle driving to town for water.
You can add concrete blocks around the stove that would heated up and the cement blocks will keep the area warm for a long time event the fire is out. Good setup and good luck my friend
+MrRantek24 Yes! We need someone who just asks us that 100 times when working through a problem. Why do we complicate stuff so much? Heck if I know. We're as guilty as the next person. Had all these glorious ideas of a yurt, cistern, solar. Yep, RV, water jugs and a generator are doing great. LOL
Very goood post ! The key to successful living is knowing what works and where. Demographic's dictates this. Here in the northeast all water above ground freezes in the winter so we have to adapt, research and make the necessary modifications starting in late summer -like late August. Storage tanks have to go well below the frost line, rain collection equipment has to be dismantled, and all hoses have to be drained, rolled up and put away.
I love the title of this video. SOLUTION. That is what YT is known for getting answers from people that DO ! your 4 gallon car camping estimate was scrounging off other sources. Your true water needs were greater just covered by things like a gym and laundromat. You are so right about bringing water to you that is my plan I can set up with my micro camper then disconnect and satellite around my camp for my needs. I would work on a water storage solution dig a pit and funnel rain water to the pit covered or not it would be heaven sent if you ever need that water.
An idea I had for an off the grid water solution was to hook up several air connectors, like the ones on a tire inner tube, to a sealed water system. Then just pump it up and pressurize it some. The air pressure will push the water where ever you need it. If your pressure gets low, hook up a pump to your nearest connector, and add a little more air to the system. If your tank is big, it will hold a lot more compressed air, and it will go longer between pressurizations ... though it may take a bit more pumping to get it pressurized in the first place.
+canesrock82 We're trying! It's so easy to complicate stuff and we're as guilty as the next guy. Glad you benefited. We're not experts. Just people trying to figure it out and share what we know with others. Cheers!
I subbed I really like this guy he must be a public speaker.I'm sure his wife would argue the point ...LOL My wife and I are doing the Rv lifestyle in 2 years on Vancouver island.....It is the size of great Briton.Temps are 70-80 no humidity or bugs to speak of.Winter Rv park is 400 bucks on the Ocean in a big lot.Hydro included.Summer we will head to Campbell river for free camping.We have a little trailer I plan to call the water pig.
To add for some one aren't sure: If you run your chimney outside on an ever lifting gradient, so the heat coming from the chimney goes under the table.(hot air rises), make a hot table(use clean metal with 3 inch sides) and a roof made out of any material. Make sure to paint the roof and sides black (as this will help to retain heat), have one corner at the lowest point with a drain, (make sure you fit a good quality filter) and then into your water tank. Next shovel clean snow off the ground onto table and wait for snow to melt and make water for your tank without traveling miles to fill lots of water jugs. This is a great way to get lots of water, from the snow on the ground every morning after it snows. I hope this helps someone.
Nice job guys! I watched a few of your vid's and like how positive you guys are, pray it stays! Keep up the good works and I'll try to keep the ad $ coming your way.
We are trying to compare the price of a well with solar pump versus rain collection with an underground cistern and nice filtration system. We live in NC so rain is pretty predictable. We have not figured this out yet.
I admire your guys' dedication :) I've always imagined living out in the country somewhere, someday. Hopefully, that will be in our future. My hubby has to finish nursing school first though :) Good luck with everything, I'm enjoying the videos!
Am considering a similar setup when I finally get some land. is a pain the the rear end to get land on a land contract. After watching a few of your videos, have a good idea on what to do to build a cabin that will serve as a temporary shelter if I get land with trees soon, as being an over the road truck driver only has me home every other weekend at best. Wish me luck in getting wooded land in time before winter to get a cabin built. Is refreshing to watch videos on new homesteaders such as yourselves. The experienced ones may chime in and say how awful or terrible of a job you are doing. From your experience, will getting land zoned as agricultural help in getting a cabin past the building code nazis?
Just an observation, but I've heard others refer to a 'camping trailer' as an RV. The 'V' stands for vehicle, and I've always thought of that as something with an engine like a class A,B or C unit, or some other motorized toy. Maybe I just didn't get the memo.
If you get two of those little IBC tanks that contain more then 250 gallons and put one permanently up high and one on one of those cheap harbor freight trailers you can hall water to your place of living and have a simple water pump to feed the water from one tank to the other. Less work no lifting problem solved :) If your worried about freezing wrap the tanks with some kind of insulation. don't need to go crazy but it will work.
+trip3980 That could be a great option for some but the reason we didn't go that route can be found in this blog post: purelivingforlife.com/rv-water-solution-off-grid/
+Pure Living for Life So I read your story and the solution I have is simple figure out how much you can safely transport and mark the water tank to the height the water can be filled then transport it back to your place. You may be able to transport 100 gallons. If anything you could transport 2 55 gallon drums or one depending on your needs. 55 gallon drums are like $15 used. It beats all the extra work you need to go through. Or better yet put the back seats down slide 255 gallon drums on its side in the trunk then add a tap to the tanks and when you get back to the house stick a hose on the tank with a simple pump to the tank or drum at your house. I know how crazy carrying water jugs is. and I personally think it gets old after a while.
Friend has ten acres at seven thousand feet and one well at two hundred plus feet deep. The county banned new wells so cannot devide the property... Thank you for the video ! tjl
Something to do for your seam's run down to your hardware store or Wal-mart and get some "DUCT TAPE" 2" wide and tape over your seam's on your cabin extension to stop your draft's it will raise your temp 2 to 5 deg alone and is well worth the investment: Also spend one day to put fire wood into your cabin as much as you have room for to dry out and it help the burn process: And last but not least have a steel plat wielded into your stove from the flue to the other side and end to end leaving about 2" to 4" space at the front edge for thermo reburn of the combustion gases "(can find the math on the internet)" and install a damper then you can pack your stove and when it's burning good you can the shut down your damper's and it will burn longer.
here is the question I have, how is the carbon monoxide levels in your cabon/tent? I myself had one of those pop up garages and a camper on some land up north, and that furnace really roars. I know the exhaust just comes out the side, do you have some exhaust pipe out the side of the tent? or is there air flow in the cabin/tent? Love your videos, I have some ideas on doing something like this and fun watching your mistakes and Triumphs. By the way love the hot tub!
I only recently found your channel so have a lot of catching up to do but thanks for sharing your challenges. I enjoy learning about how people overcome their challenges. It won't work in winter but how about putting gutters along the sides of your structure to run into some barrels? It won't be much but it'll be something for at least a little while.
I agree. should be on top of the list,very easy and cheap to do. why pay for a expensive well? collect rain water and going to that water supply seems to be cheap enough
Store your water jugs upside down (spout on bottom) in colder climates. It wont prevent freezing but will help as water freezes top down do that u can flip it in the morning and possibly still have water not ice
We really pray for you guys to get a rainwater harvesting with a filter system real quick so you know your water is clean and not poluted like those poor folks in Flint ar suffering from.
I lived on a small 10 acre farm, we had to wait for the rains to come and store water for over summer, we had 5 kids, it was really hard at times, we had to have bowl baths, the kids liked it, they would have a large plastic bowl that they could sit in and not so full that is would spill out when they sat down in it. washing was done in an agitator washing machine. The ponds would fill but not water tight. It was hard work getting water to the stock. I would not like to do this again. Or if I did, it would be better organised, as I know how to manage better now. It was a learning curve.
Here is a tip to avoid health issues....never put the hose at the water station in your jugs, infact never let the hose touch your jugs, those hoses arent clean and can carry some nasty bacteria...hope that helps.
+Pure Living for Life I was also wondering about that black hose at the fill station. I assumed it was your own hose your brought with you and was going to ask if it was a drinking water rated hose. what are your plans for cleaning and maintenance on your water jugs?
You guys give me hope when hope has been stolen away by an ex who paid off my divorce atty(AND SHE IS A WOMAN!! How do you sell out on a disabled woman, almost 30 year marriage who's ex makes 6 figures??!!!). Anyway... I've got to find a decent rv, and a piece of land with water in the hills of eastern tn or western nc, then I'll be able to afford my meds! Thanks for being so real! Abba bless, protect and warm you two wonderful youngin's!! Love and laughter through it all! : )
+LookBeyondTheChatter Take it one day at a time. Solve only the problems for today. You can't solve the worlds problems. They have to solve them on their own. Keep taking steps to where you want to be an ignore all the morons and losers who get in your way. You might enjoy this blog post. purelivingforlife.com/well-meaning-critics/
I use the exact same blue jugs for transporting water to my future off grid location. I have several fruit trees that need a lot of water. We have 2 issues we have to work out. We have mostly fine sand and we live in Texas and are having a very hot summer. We found our jugs at walmart.
Composting will help your soil. Plus consider putting composting materials interlaced with leaves & small branches in a trench & put sand over it. The trench will keep moisture & add natural fertilization. For lugging your water, consider using a wheel barrow.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Question: In spring, summer and fall do you plan to build a rain water catch system? Thanks again, Duane
Other water sources are being considered. Only time will tell when they will manifest. We have 2 people and a million projects. Likely may take a few years to tackle all of these. A barn is top priority.
If you dont have it, its a huge problem.. Its the number one thing we must have every day. We can go without power or even shows, but not water. Someone planning without this step will find life just got real, real fast.
you can get a free used swimming pool. if the liner is bad just get visqueen plastic to use as a liner. a pool can store 10 to 18,000 gl of water. you can treat the water with pool shock
couple of ibc containers and a pallet rack and you won't need a well. Not as convenient but way cheaper than a well. Especially if you can get the water for 25 cents.
Good video I know it's going to be a long winter take the time to plan for the future and look forward to the spring it will be there before you know it
+JIM KING We're hoping to get done hammering out all the work on our business. It's hard cramming a years worth of work into 3 months, but we're excited to get back to planning and working on the property. We'd hoped for a more mild winter, but we're not upset at ALL for all the snow and much needed moisture. So we'll enjoy it and get back to work when we can.
+Pure Living for Life Hello, please excuse my bad english, i'm from Québec french state of Canada. We all overcomplicate....... Did you think about sharing your neighboor well? May be, your are not in good terms with him, so, the other permanent solution is: Having a well drilled during the pre-season or after. There is always an old man with and old rig waiting to help a young couple ( i am one of them). Sometime, the easiest solution is only one visit away. Old men always like visitors. May be, he will finance it for a part! Asking is always the most difficult part of a simple solution. Anyway, if your plan is to have a barn with some animals, you will need some water. The way i see your land, you are sit just on top of some water vein. Because you are on the flat part with a hill on the side then another hill on the other side. The flat part is collecting water from the higher hill. Did you see any water when digging for the septic tank? or wet sand? On the other side, we all have to consider that, saving have a certain limit and it is call the truth about life. A 0$ living is almost impossible. The MOST important thing to consider is: To many daily problem will drain a couple relation without knowing it day after day. Yes, you have the same goal but was it easier in your mind before you start this adventure? May be the other one won't say a word but it could be harder and no one want to burst the other bubble. Sometime we have to keep in mind our first project was to be a couple first. We all have some different resistance and limits. If you have a paypal account, may be your 50,000 viewer can do a small part for that well drilling? I am ready for a small amount. Simply, let me know. 50,000 viewers at 1$ each = 50,000$ i think you gone have a water fall for that price, lol. By the way, 1$ was just an example, 20$ is better. I prefer watching your video than going to see a movie at 10$, so, a small donation will be with pleasure. I hope, others will do like me.
Good details. You guys are extreme! That is what makes your project so interesting to me. Spend less and live debt free. You are a great example for so many. :-)
how about this, buy a small trailer 5'x7', 6'x8'. buy 5-55 gl drums. strap 4 of the 55 gl drums to the trailer. raise 1 55gl drum to the height level or just above the trailer. make sure the raised 55gl drum has a garden hose in the top and sealed. the other end of the hose should reach the ground. go fill your 55 gl drums ( that is 220 gl of water). connect the garden hose to a 12v pump. now you have 55gl of water to gravity feed your home. once you empty the last drum on your trailer, go fill the 4 up and repete. you can insulate the garden hose with pipe insulation and the 55 gl drums with any type of home insulation then wrap and tape with a tarp.
I'm in the process of going of grid as well. The water issue is a concern, because the property I'm on isn't mine to begin with and I don't want any thing there that is permanent. I want everything to be able to be moved when I'm going or moving off that there is no real sign of me being there. There is a river about two miles from this property, you know what fish do in the river, right? The river runs through farm property's and getting water from there may not be a good choice. In the summer I can harvest rain water in 55 gallon drums, but come winter there would be the freezing problem and a full drum would crack. I could get the drinking water from the town which is 8 miles away or being that I heat with wood, use the wood stove to melt snow for drinking water, yes you would have to filter it. For that reason river water I feel is not a good choice here because of what could be in the water and is it safe to use? You could use it for gardening or washing not for drinking.
Something that should be strongly noted is that you're in the Pacific Northwest. You're winter is very mild compared to the rest of the country. Your methods would fail anywhere else.
Yes, water jugs are only viable in the mild northwest climates. They are useless in all other locations. Water transportation is not used all over the world to feed millions of households who don't have public utilities. In these areas they also don't use basic transportation methods such as we do.
It is funny to listen to americans talk about "cold" weather..lol. Its -40 this morning here in northern alberta Canada. Cheers though. I like your attitudes :)
Fuck !!! The guy in this video is like a woman. He doesn't know how to get to the point right away. He starts talking about the water around 2:30. He such a yapper.
I am from Florida were water comes from about 20ft under ground with a shallow well. So my question is. Is it possible to put a well in were your at in the mountains? We were in Tennessee last year and was in the smokies and stopped and talked to a local that was feeling his water jugs up with a watering station that was a pipe stuck in the mountain ! He said it had been there his entire life and he was at least 50ish . It was free and every one in the area used it. He probably thought we were nuts but hey were from Florida :) We don't see things like that :)
if you can't supply your own water and require city water you are not 'off the grid.' Buy property with a high water table. in 2011 I found a small farm in west Tennessee about 30 minutes from Nashville that had 11 acres, a barn, 3 ponds, mostly pasture but some woods for $1K an acre. I flew out and bought it and another small farm close by. Plenty of water and easy to drop a well. Easy to place a mobile home or trailer and camp or live. For people wanting to do this homesteading I'd say get your life in order first. An education in a field where you can make some money. have some cash ready so when a deal like an 11 acre farm pops up for $11,000 you and drop cash and own it. Don't be like Green Acres and bit and piece together a homestead. Plan and prepare. Nothing like having income and ready cash.
I found my deal on the internet and grabbed it. maybe still at 2011 people were trying to recover from 2008 crash but I felt I got a major deal in Tennessee. There were numerous small farms like the two I bought for sale cheap, some a bit higher. Nice thing about Tennessee is it's far north enough not to be too hot and far south enough not to be too cold. Ithink it might have been Zillow I found them on, I don't remember, searched just for fun originally and then found local real estate dealers and boom, I flew from Arizona to Tennessee and made the purchase.
O.K. Clean water is easy. How do you deal with the "Poo"? My wife, youngest son and I spent a summer on our property before we got running water. We hauled water very much like you guys. 50 gallon RV tank mounted in the bed of the truck and then gravity feed into the RV fresh water tank. The "Poo" we had to pump using a flowjet pump up into a "potty wagon" that you can get an RV dealership and then take it into town to dump. The things they don't tell you about on RV commercials! r.woods
Bravo, good to see your doing what works for you, I'm sure at some point your going to find a better solution for water. I have asked myself a few times while watching your video's, why you two didn't just build a tiny house on wheels but your doing what works for you and that's all the counts. I was wondering how your making electricity. And, I'm wondering about the tent your trailers parked under, where you got it, and if you got it right after the trailer or before, if you bought it or made it?
+Kevin Wiese We think collecting and utilizing rain water is a great idea, but it would take some work to set up a system and that's not our priority at the moment, so we hope to explore this idea within the next couple of years or so. There has been an awful lot of rain on our property since we've moved here.
+Daniel Pratt Haha! Look at some of your alternatives Daniel. Tiny Homes are good, but there are many proven abodes with meet basic human needs for far less investment. Best of luck on the rural property and keep in touch with how it's going!
wonder what the cost on a plastic sliptank with a dc pump to run off your vehicle would cost. somthing light enough that after its empty u could easily remove from car or bed of your truck. another pro would be for watering garden possibly long hose n less grunt work. love the vids hope me n the misses do this sooner then later. cheers
I should have posted this earlier, but building a full platform/floor for your shed was a BRILLIANT idea ! Wait until spring when everything is muddy and you will appreciate it twice as much !
+theoldwizard998 We couldn't really know how well it would work out, but it's working for now! All you can do is try right? :) Keeping out of the mud has been SO helpful. We had 10" of rain plus 12" of snow melt that made a messsssss. Our floor was dry though! :)
Thanks for this HELPFUL vlog. I appreciate it so much as a Deaf person, the captions were clear, whew. I plan to live off grid in Nevada next year. Curious, what brand of tent you use to put over your RV?
