New subscriber here, live in Southside of Brisbane, have a few acres up near Mt Mee which is a 2 hour drive from home, we have red deer roaming through the area and intend to get some goats, chickens etc. Love your content, I've been thinking along the same lines for over 30 years, without water and food security people in the cities are super vulnerable. Keep up the good work.
Awesome mate, top little setup you have there, you have everything you need plus more. How good is bush living, I wake up every day and pinch myself to make sure it’s real, I think I walk around with a permanent smile on my face nowadays, I don’t get bored doing nothing anymore. You need to convert that liquor shelf to all home brewed/distilled beverages to keep with the theme of everything else. IBC shower cubicle is a cool idea. Love the cheeky boob flash from Tory, that’s the kind of thing my wife does to me, good times 😁
MATE What more do you want? Awesome little abode to live in on What looks like a great property done on a budget. Plus the bonus of getting flashed by a pretty young lady 😂 Love it!!
Don't insulate the inside, insulate the outside and put an outer wall and peak the roof to catch water, I live in a 40' hicube container, I catch and kill my power and water, the best part is NO BILLS, all my appliances are 12 volt camping stuff like you have, and lighting is all LED truck lights
Wow man you look so chilled now ,love ,friendship, freedom ,nature ,self made home, you are a very lucky man.enjoy and keep sharing, thank you. Shipping container insulation,google foilboard ,I've used it for my containers ,and is easy to install ,bit expensive though.but it works ,I also have roof vents ,hope that helps.
Great set up guys. Well done I say. Unfortunately in my area we can’t do this. Shire just won’t allow wkenders these days. A few large bush blocks down river way on the market but no permits ever on these for living but there’s houses on nxt properties….just ain’t right in my opinion. We should be able to live simply especially in these times but we all know why they won’t allow it tho!!!
We are gradually preparing for the grid to go down permanently. 24v systems are way more efficient especially when getting power into the system. The higher the voltage, the more efficient. 24v is easy to implement because many things like Outback fridges will run fine on it without inverters. Inverters are not very efficient and if you run a fridge on them and then on dc you will see it go from dc 500wh to 800/900wh. 24v can be stepped down to 12v very cheaply. A good water system is essential and we are able to pump from a well on a dc system.
Because internal space of a container is at a premium. I used 4 (3 x 1 inch) stringers on each wall and the ceiling to attach 6 mm ply for the top and plasterboard or fibro for the walls. I countersunk Tek screws the depth of the head onto the high edges of the container. Allows for running wiring internally. Insulation is handled externally. I used cob eventually. Best insulator and fire proof
@@bigbackbehaviour I've learnt the whole american cob movement is trying to make it scientific for money. I just dig the clay, mix in some grass clipping if at all and slap it up.
Love it. Simplicity is key. With simplicity is little stress if something breaks, fix it yourself (the feeling of not relying on others for you to thrive is something you don’t realise how good it is until you are living it).If your power system does everything you need it to do don’t change it. Are there “better & bigger” electrical systems, sure there is but the expense is far greater. We started in a bus, moving to half our shed when we converted it. Finally moving into house. Should have stayed in the shed. The increase in “happy” from bus to shed was greater than increase in happy from shed to house. Great video, took me straight back to living in our off grid shed. Keep it up 👍🏻
Cool to find this. My wife and I live off grid in the upper Murry on 12 acers surrounded by dairy farm and backing onto Victoria largest forests. We didn't do it to save the world but a better quieter lifestyle because she isnt too well. I hunt venison for meat. grow vegetables and have a few head and of cattle. So i believe i can survive if the supermarkets go down. We have a tiny home and a 12kw solar system. In winter tho we do use about 50l Diesel for the generator usually to dry clothes becyit gets abit hard when its minus 6 . Looking forward to going though the rest of your videos. Thanks.... forgot to mention were not actually allowed to live here because we haven't gone though the hoops and paid council there 60-80k just to let us build. But um prepared to go to prison for living on my own land that I owe nothing on.
Excellent channel and vid, thanks guys your place looks fantastic, great setup can't wait to share my setup with you both and some ideas, take care, stay safe and vigilant. Seeya Rob.....email to come.
Keep an eye on the output voltage on those Kings charge controllers. Your one's are probably fine but they have been know (in the past) to run a too higher charge voltage and can cook batteries.
Definitely coming along down there. How do you find the kings 1500 inverter? I am looking at getting one as we are about to have a kings warehouse open here. Are you guys living at the cabin full time now? God bless guys and congrats on another great informative video. Bryan 🇦🇺❤️✝️🙏🏼
@@manoffaithministry the inverter is fantastic Bryan. I highly recommend any of the kings products. The whole power setup is from 4x4 super centre. It’s been fantastic. 👍
Thats great, i will get obe for the caravan then. I also have purchased alot of gear from 4x4 adventure store but not much in the way of electronics so i appreciate your feedback. What size plot do you have down there and if its where i think it is it should always be nice and lush with old volcanic soil for growing. Bless you guys.🙏🏼
@@deborahmaurer9163 thank you for your comment. The paint on the stove is the issue I believe you’re talking about. We ran the stove outside on numerous occasions to burn the paint off in order to eliminate the problem that you’re addressing and the smell has all but gone. Thank you for the warning but we’re all over it 🙏🏼
Cheers for sharing .. All this looks the same as my setup near Brisbane, kings camping gear and all. But only 2 months in, going through problems like upgrading solar panels and batteries. The biggest problem is my lady omg didn’t see this coming anyway subscribed now. Fair chance you can help me out with problems I’m thinking 🤞
Hi if that system suits your needs that’s good the only problem with agm batteries you can only run them down half way so 340 amps is only 170 of full amp hours I hav a 5th wheeler for off grid camping it got 1130 watts of solar 2solar controllers 600 amps of lithium a 2000 watt inverter and a LG inverter fridge 240volt which is on 24/7 and a LG inverter microwave and TV everything not a problem with power it’s all victron gear to run it all and I used to have a generator but never used it so I don’t need it anymore a gas stove but I can use a electric kettle and toaster and with lithium it can run down to 20 percent off the battery but never get any thing near that just a thought cheers
I have a differnt idea pf survivalism. Ots tp train ro libe on as little as u possibly can. Eat way less, consume the bare ninimum materially and even brave the elements. Ivw bever owned a car. Im grateful for my roof but i think the homeless have masteted survivalism, some of them. This set up wont survive a disaster, is the problem

Excellent set up, well done.
Super green with envy 🤢
Love the shower setup , also loved the cacophony of birds calls in the video - lyrebirds, whip birds etc.
Living in paradise with a beautiful lady, what more would you need. Peace of mind is priceless.
Looks fabulous! 👍👍
Nice set up my brother.

Is your cob mixture 1/3 clay, 1/3 straw and 1/3 sand? And how do you get your clay?
Thank you
@@bigbackbehaviour I've learnt the whole american cob movement is trying to make it scientific for money. I just dig the clay, mix in some grass clipping if at all and slap it up.

You need to invest in one of those closed toilet systems that provide methane gas so you can use it for a stove and converted generator/ water heater

Nice setup mate. Love the loo setup. How much land are you on.

We're an Aussie family documenting our off grid house build too 😊
Foil board from bunnings is not too expensive some timber battens and more pallet ply lining possibly
great set up but beware, that 'pot belly' leaks fumes. I have one, can't use it indoors too dangerous.
