Try a diesel heater for the chicken coup

I think this is the last of the cold after Monday I only get -20C, every year the build gets warmer, next year will be easier, warmer. Still waiting for your new Maximus video. Super easy year I haven't used the Gen since Jan 9th. 30kwh today, looks like another 200kwh coming this week. Try adding ginger and green tea. Oh, cool that's my back up gen, it starts faster than my 9kw. If you ever need parts go through Midland power, they make it fore HH.

Yes it was 9 below zero this morning

I hope one day Steve can have a play date with his half siblings 😂

Stay warm!

Depending on power draw, then perhaps you could put your Allpowers battery pack in the coop house with a heat lamp every night when temps are lowest. It would mean charging it again when the jenny is running for the rest of the house batteries. I am so happy to see you caring and worrying about all the critters you have.:)

wie kann man so leben mit huhn im zimmer und zweis rissige hunde in einer art scheune oder wie unglaublich 🤔

🥶🥶

❤❤❤❤❤

The cold snap this time is better than last year so we can't complain. The coldest this year is only -30C, last year was -36, and -41 the year before. This time we are so much warmer. I dont worry about us anymore. But I do worry. For all the animals outside. They'll be fine. Thank you for watching.

Good morning hope you both have an awesome day. Stay warm my friends…Kev c

You can get a solar bubbler for the water buckets 🪣 to keep then from freezing 🥶

Good morning may I ask are a filapha?

It's an amazing skill to have. I learned it once many years ago, but we are looking to get a small unit and practice ourselves. Our first project will be a small firewood holder to sit next to the wood stove, you should try that. You could put it in the house or in your little cave area.

It is nice to see Phillippe teaching you new skills. You did well but need to understand, that as with any new skill, there is so much more to know and learn. Please think about and practice safety for every one near you, including your dogs. They should never be a distraction or participate. I love how eager and excited you are learning new stuff. Koodos to the patience and care that Phillippe has as he encourages and shares his knowledge, so you become better skilled. Great job to you both.

Well done, Divine!! 👏👏👏

Well well, good job! Fun to watch😊

What do you think should be my first welding project? Any ideas? Thank you for watching.

So cute how your wee goats follow behind when you walk around the place!! 😍

Panels, panels and more panels! Most people panel for summer when in reality you need to panel for winter. If you were to spend 1 months worth of fuel on panels you would get by in winter. I made that mistake last winter so I spent the rest of the year buying panels and this year, I've made it power wise being off grid. I don't advise Alibaba. Buy the panels yourself from a local supplier. I don't know your situation but here in Europe 500w panels are about 70€ per panel.

Yes indeed, most comments combine it all. First of all I’d like to suggest D3 and K2 intake, as your body needs if much more in the low sun hours. For Divine even more then Philip. Easy to explain why. Winters are demanding in Canada, but after travelling a lot across the world Canada is by far the best! Then I have experience with these modules and panels. I am installing panels since 1990. The panels that come with it are near useless, only handy for travels. We got extension cords and connected 2 550 watt each panels to the unit so it charges when sunny 24/7 if needed. Use it while you are charging. And plan power consumption in daytime, that helps a lot. Extension cords are about 18$ each so you can hookup your panels continuously. And adjust the angle of your panels with the seasons, plus keep your batteries around room temperature.

My set-up eats 8 of those a day when I use the 2nd heater (-15c soon), I have used the same as 21 of those power stations over 3 days, took 7 hours to charge most of it. We have same conditions, using your 3kw adding 15 panels, $3057 adds 8.2 kw, total 11.2 kw 7.5kwh on dark days. Cold weather batteries Cdn govt uses these for remote stations. 19.2kw for $4500, I would recommend 2 for 38.4kw, can add more to 96kwk, and $2500 8kw 240v@4000w x 2, charge at 10000w with sun. I use 700 to 900w 24hrs a day, using your panels 8kw inverter,11.2kw solar, 36kw battery, 17 to $19k delivered maybe by Feb 5th, I can show you my easy frames to mount 15 panels vertical, no snow on panels, build the whole mount in a day. I just ended a call with Solar online all in stock, and battery bank deal 3995 for 19.2kwh -$500 CAD per bank. My gen fuel cost is $150 per overcast month. Is it worth it? plus you get best service. I got my 1st replacement inverter in 3 days; I might buy it back since the issue was fixed.

I have 4 solar bank

Hang in there. Your country is going to change greatly soon. Just as ours in the US has. You guys have come so far, don't give up.

Looks like someone needs to go on vacation <3

I think you are on the right track. Having more storage capacity would be a big help

Great advice gas gets very expensive after awhile running everything off the generator .. good video thanks for sharing..Kev c

th-cam.com/video/iOn6ctZrZmI/w-d-xo.html good luck

It is what it is. Our setup currently calls for a lot of fuel usage in winter. Dark days are almost over and that makes me happy. Surviving is our goal here in the wilderness. And we are going to survive, yet another Winter. Thank you for watching.

I moved to the Philippines 30 years ago. Best move I ever made.. Now because of my health I'm in the U S freezing my self to death....

i allways start my chain saw with one foot on it and chainbreak allways on. must say phillip you doing a great work teaching her

Youre having trouble pull starting. I always put my foot through the handle to hold it down 100x easier. Idk about safety wise but its what ive always done. Maybe it will help you if your boot fits. If not put a piece of wood through it and stand on each side, then the saw wont move and it will be easier to pull. You'll get it !!!!

Im glad to see you all are doing well. Keep swinging that axe. Keep it sharp. 😊

Costly though. That’s alotta logs!

Make yourself note's on the different thing's that needs to be done to each machine

shes doing good she just dose not have the strenth to pull it my girl has a hard time to

I. Can't believe you were a school teacher the way you are teaching how to do things

Why not get one of those easy pull types and fit it to that - EASY PULL IS COMMON NOW

I like you guys. Maybe ask her to do some arm workouts for a month then let her grab it

Buy her a 192tc or something of this nature. These are way smaller than what you have her using

😂 she acts like she doesn't want to learn. Every time she makes her cut it's like floppy arms and. Mabe a smaller saw will entice her more. Couldn't hurt by having her life a 5 pound wait for a little bit to build up some strength 💪 🙌

Well done Divine, I know it’s not easy learning a new task but you didn’t give up and got it sorted.

Could you get a battery chain saw for emergencies for Devine

Philippe good training for your wife, keep up on her until she can do it without any problems.

You can do it, Divine! Eventually it will become second nature. Philippe is a great teacher. I learned something today, too.

I wanted to share something with you, still makes a chainsaw that is spring loaded you pull the rope all the way out and you let go of it and it'll start , just sharing don't mean to tell you what to do at all.

why you not teach her to stick her foot in the andel and than pul the rope???? its match easyer for her.

I have the same problem when starting my stihl. It jerks your hand back and makes it where you cant pull. We must be doing something wrong...i feel like i pull it really hard, it cant be a strength thing...

LOL! Everyone has trouble with a chainsaw. You did great but be very careful.

You could also try putting your right toe through the handle to help stabilize the saw and help to start😊
