Real Life Off Grid Obstacles. Dealing With Refrigeration.
We live full time off grid and I love to cook. I could not live without some type of reliable refrigeration. We chose to purchase a Unique DC fridge and we've been happy with it for the most part. There are a few annoyances we deal with but it's a part of daily life. We've done videos in the past comparing our DC appliances with regular every day appliances. Check those out here...

How to Remove Y Bones In a Northern Pike. Easy Method!
มุมมอง 98821 วันที่ผ่านมา
Northern Pike are a great fish to catch and eat. Most people don't like to eat them though due to the Y bones that are notoriously hard to remove. I will show you a simple method for removing the Y bones to get boneless pieces of Pike for your next fish dinner! It's easier than you think! You now have more options for pike than just pickling them to dissolve the bones. This is a great filet kni...
Elk Hunting At An Off Grid Ranch with Bonus Elk Recipe
มุมมอง 25928 วันที่ผ่านมา
One year ago I went on my first guided hunt for elk. It was a great experience and I'd do it again! The ranch was off grid and in the middle of nowhere Colorado. It was quiet and had some awesome solar ability. Colorado has an average of 305 solar days per year! It makes our Michigan winters seem so gloomy. We got a tour of the ranch including the solar system that they use along with a Diesel ...
Must Try Recipes for Excess Tomatoes and Peppers! Homemade Pantry Staples.

I have all the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salsas and spaghetti sauce that I need for the next year. I am now branching out to get more homemade pantry staples in my root cellar from my own garden. This wasn't intended to be a Mexican food theme but that's what it ended up! If you have ever wondered how to use those dried peppers/chili's that you see in Mexican markets then this is the episod...
Secure Off Grid Storage
มุมมอง 7642 หลายเดือนก่อน
Mice! They can get into almost anything. A small hole is all they need. They have destroyed so many things in our storage shed and on our property. Have you ever lit a Buddy Heater that had a mouse nest in it? Not fun! We recently bought a "one way" shipping container. We absolutely love it. Mice can't get inside and neither can a thief. We really needed some more secure storage and this fit th...
Off Grid Tiny Cabins. Comparing What We Learned In Four Years With “Off Grid With Jay and Jen”

We recently sat down with Jay and Jen of the You Tube Channel "Off Grid with Jay and Jen". We had a great time visiting them here in Northern Michigan. We compared our cabins, off grid life and a few off grid rabbit trails along the way! We've both been living off grid for 4 years now. We also discussed some of our failures and things we would do differently now. We hoped to give encouragement ...
How To Save Tomato Seeds
มุมมอง 2753 หลายเดือนก่อน
Tomatoes and cucumbers have a slimy layer that needs to be fermented in order to save the seeds. Just a quick video to show you how easy that can be. Seed saving can be very important for so many reasons. Just remember that hybrids are not good seeds to save. Start with a good heirloom or non hybrid tomato.

มุมมอง 1.1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
No matter your reasons for stocking up and preparing for the future, canning meat is a great way to free up space in your freezer. Canning meat makes it shelf stable, no fridge or freezer needed. Small freezer and you found meat on sale? Can it. Frequent power outages and you're nervous about your freezer thawing? Can it. Off grid and you don't have a DC freezer? Can it. I've canned venison, la...
Making Homemade Pet Food Plus a Quick Channel Update.
มุมมอง 3133 หลายเดือนก่อน
Making pet food is easier than you think. We try to have the least amount of waste and be resourceful as much as we can when it comes to harvesting deer and feeding our pets. Our cats love venison, liver, chicken and all sorts of meats and sweet potatoes. With the price of cat food it sure pays off to make your own. Both of our cats are rescues. Not in the normal sense of going out and finding ...
Dry Pour Concrete For the Outdoor Kitchen Remodel
มุมมอง 1.5K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
We have been using an area near our storage shed for the outdoor kitchen. It was past time for some changes. A new floor was a priority. We have seen the dry pour concrete technique a few times and this was the logical option for this small space if we didn't want to have a costly delivery fee. With the new floor we were able to get the kitchen set up much nicer. Barb found a stainless steel ta...
DIY Easy Maintenance Chicken Coop Full Build. Start to Finish!

I really don't like to clean chicken coops! Who does? When we were offered full grown hens instead of buying chicks this year I jumped at the opportunity. No need to feed them for months before you get your first eggs! I didn't get the breeds I wanted but this will get me started and I'll start incorporating new chicks in as time and circumstances allow. I also got a rooster with a bit of an at...
We're Not Fighting This Battle Anymore!
มุมมอง 1.7K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
We have been fighting this battle every year and this was the last straw. Deer damage can be devastating for homesteaders who rely on garden produce to get them through the whole year. After a severe "pruning" of every tasty morsel they wanted from the garden it's time to figure out this fencing. We chose the best deer prevention we could and did it as safely as possible to avoid any injuries t...

During our You Tube adventures we have begun making new friends. Through our videos we met Joe and Glenda and met up with them at their off grid camp in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

He has lots of great videos and you can see what he does with th...
Foraging Wild Leeks/Ramps.
มุมมอง 3596 หลายเดือนก่อน
Spring foraging is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature. Ramps (or wild leeks) are a great food to forage for and one of the easiest to identify. While you're out looking for those morels keep an eye out for these. They will be gone by the time the ferns are out so don't wait too long.
