Welcome to my channel of off-grid homesteading, rural life, off-roading, and endless challenges.
walk across a not so frozen lake....
A short walk across a not so frozen lake 😬 , goat entertainment, and a solar power system upgrade!
As usual no shortage of work. The winter has been mild and there isn't much snow. Normally the lake is well frozen by now but this year it's been unusual and I don't feel safe crossing the entire lake just yet.

Broken track loader, solar system upgrade ...and goats 🙄😆
มุมมอง 156วันที่ผ่านมา
Never a dull day around here. Always something to do and something to learn. Had a few warmer days so was able to start working on the 1950s Oliver track loader. This engine was replace at some point with a 353 Detroit diesel. Overall it has been a great workhorse that owes me nothing. It's not pretty, it's temperamental, and it requires ....finesse to operate, but it runs ...and sometimes even...
a dumb mistake and goats
มุมมอง 29414 วันที่ผ่านมา
A dumb miscalculation on my part and the goat pen fenceline is damaged. I'll now have to drive in a new post (in the spring) and get a wider gate. Just hoping the goats stay contained till then...and the predators stay out. Been seeing a few coyotes around.... #farmlife #rurallife #homestead #homesteading #offgridfarm #offgridliving #farm #cabinlife #logcabins
goat TV and off-grid challenges
มุมมอง 11521 วันที่ผ่านมา
Here is another exciting episode of Goat TV. This winter has been very cloudy, unusually so. My off-grid system is strained and I need to run the generator daily. This spring I will be upgrading everything a bit, with way more panels and batteries. It's not cheap, a lot of work, and certainly not easy, but I'm hoping that by next winter it will be much better and I'll need to rely on the genera...
off-grid and old machinery challenges
มุมมอง 102หลายเดือนก่อน
In this episode I show you just some of the daily challenges I encounter. During the winter everything is a bit harder. I have only one neighbour, Grant. He lives about a mile away and has been living and ranching out here for 80 years. When I first moved here he told me: "there is no such thing as a minor problem in -40 degrees" I certainly agree and have experienced this. Today I'm dealing wi...

Time for another thrilling episode of Goat TV 🙄 😁 This was last month, we still didn't have much snow and some colder nights. I keep working away on splitting firewood and various projects. When it gets colds, if it's not sunny, then I mostly stay in the house working. On nice sunny days I'm outside making the best of it. #farmlife #rurallife #homestead #homesteading #livestock #offgrid #offgri...

Welcome to an exciting episode of Goat TV This is where I showcase my freeloaders ....I mean goats... Why do I have goats? Good question! I got them to help keep the vegetation down around the house. That helps (a little) with mosquito habitat, fire risk, and appearance. During the winter months, I have to tend to them by providing hay and water. Luckily, I have a large meadow for the hay, and ...
Tree falling and Firewood day
มุมมอง 437หลายเดือนก่อน
Wood is something I handle on a regular basis. When I moved off-grid over 6.5 years ago, I did not think it would be this much a part of my life. All year long I'm in contact with it daily. I'm either cutting it, splitting, milling, stacking, or building with it. All this interaction makes me learn a lot about it and how to work with it. Falling a tree is rarely an easy task. Each tree is diffe...
The next day after getting home from a long work trip. I am greeted by battery issues...
มุมมอง 3772 หลายเดือนก่อน
After being gone for over 3 weeks I come home to some battery issues and very demanding goats! I have a pretty basic off-grid system. I don't put a lot of strain on it and I am hoping it will last me for a long time. After this recent trip I have noticed that the batteries are draining a bit faster than they used to. Follow along and see what happens... #farmlife #rurallife #offgrid #offgridliv...
Introduction
มุมมอง 1572 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello, my name is Mat (Maciej) and this is a short video to introduce you to my off-grid lifestyle. I'm slowly working on building up a homestead, building a home, learning farming, haying, gardening, and lots more. I've been doing this for over 6 years now. I have a vast background in many fields but I still find I'm learning new things daily. So I hope you join me on my adventures in off-grid...

The second part of my Telkwa pass trail adventure. The morning I was met by some nasty weather which shortened my visit here. Hope you enjoy it.

Sorry about the audio, still working out bugs of recording and traveling at the same time. After some great suggestions from fellow overland explorers I decided to check out Telkwa pass. There were a few recent washouts there so I did not know what I was getting myself into....I quickly discovered it was not an easy trail...

Updated with louder audio. Hey everyone, I'm on an overlanding expedition into northern BC, Alaska and maybe Yukon, see how far I get. I'm photographing and filming everything as I go, sometimes the camera work of recording might not be perfect. It's a work in progress.

This was a few days into the trip already. I went to check out a trail recommended by a fellow off-roader. Located just outside of Smithers, BC. A well worth destination.
