Collecting Rain Water at an off grid cabin
ฝัง

- In this video I collect a 55 gallon drum of fresh rain water at my cabin in interior Alaska during a hard rain storm.
Living off grid is so much easier with your own water source. Weather you're homesteading, or living in a tiny house, or just at the family cabin, a simple rain water collection system is easy to build and will fill many of your water needs.

It might not mean much to anyone else, but I’m grateful to see the prayers before the meals. God bless y’all
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
What a blessed young son to have his Daddy pray with him. BRAVO
Thanks
The prayer said before eating made the whole video more beautiful😍
Thanks
Nothing better than rain falling on a tin roof while sitting by a log fire. I've learned so much from watching your videos as well as Brooke's thank you. 👌 😎
Great to hear!
Bacon and eggs, prayers, simple living, and an appreciation of the small delights like flowers and rain. Not to mention you're passing it all on to the next generation - you're doing it right, Dave.
Amen
Amen🙏🙏🙏
AMEN from Ipswich Qld Australia
Dalby Queensland Australia
- An expert over sofa have said that words... 🤣
How peaceful is that. I would love to relax with a good book listening to the 🌧. I love how y'all always take time to thank the Lord for your food and blessings of life
I’m sitting here in an Australian summer watching your stories. There are two things I love; 1, that you show your beautiful lifestyle and 2, that you are a fellow brother in Jesus. God bless you
So refreshing to see a man & his son praying over their meal! My husband and I pray over our meals & we love the Lord!
Thank you for sharing your cabins with the public! It's really great.
God bless you all!
"You don't need much to be happy". That's right. The less stuff I have, the better I feel.

Happiest I was was when living off grid in Mexico. Used propane stove/fire, outhouse, candles/oil lamps, washed closed from 5 gallon buckets/soap stone sink out side/hang dry/collected water to wash truck came by to purchase water sometimes, bathed out of a 5 gallon bucket/creek....great life, miss it. Life was nice and slow.
I get it .......
So good to see you and your boy spending such special time together. I have two sons who I love dearly. Spending time with them keeps me going day to day. God bless Dave.
My absolute favorite thing in the world is the sound of rain on a tin roof and thru the trees.
And the smell of mud after the first rains.

Me too
@@jascintarebello3234 same to me ooof mud smell I love

I love they way , when you first should say a thanks giving to GOD. 🥰🥰🥰🥰hope all people will do the same .
Sustainable and responsible living we all should think once or twice about. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Father and son together is wonderful
In Jamaica that is how we harvest our rain water . this place looks so good 👌.
Thanks . My wife and I were married in Jamaica
We did the same in Bermuda.
In India, we channel all rainwater that falls on the roof in a barrel. Usually a few hundred litres. Alternatively, if we have land like this, we dig holes on the slopes wherever possible, lay a huge tarp in it and cover it with a grill to filter out basic debris. The more water collected the better.
And I grew up in Jamaica! (Though I never harvested any rainwater there...but hope to when I live in an off-grid tiny house in the near future!)
We collect the water from our roofs into our concrete tanks. You should make an above ground version Dave. Even a small one that would be awesome.
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle in Alaska. My father was a WWII soldier and an outdoorsman. He would have loved to have a cabin like yours.
After 11 hours holding a steering wheel today , watching and listening to You narrate about Your slice of Alaska and listening to the sounds of nature is a perfect ending to my day! Thanks Dave!
Thanks ! I feel you Kent. We just got back from Valdez yesterday. Its a 350 mil trip on 2 lane road
Lived in North Pole Ak. Briefly in 2008. Got to explore country north of Fairbanks at 4 in morning...surreal encounter with massive grey wolf. Loved my time there. Enjoy your time with son.
I’ve been watching your wife’s channel and her 6/15 she reached her 100,000 subscribers! Ya! Your almost there Dave!
I'm getting there
Love it! Glad to see your son hanging out with dad.
Mick and I are pretty tight. we hang out a lot
@Chris Viggiano ... My humble opinion is that prayers don't need a church to reach its destination 🙏
@Chris Viggiano I agree with the need to go to church. I would never live more than an hours drive to a church like my own. Prayer is good, but you need a regular meal. The word of God is the bread of life. Vaughn
@Chris Viggiano - "Be radical eh", Go for it.
@Chris Viggiano Your asking the wrong man. You should be asking Jesus himself.
Great video Dave. I have an "Off Grid" cabin here in south Louisiana. Love watching your video's; they're inspiring and you give me ideas for my lil cabin. I love the way you and Brooke always give thanks before your meals. Stay safe!
"you don't need much to be happy, just a few things situated" That says it all!
Thanks
I love that you pray before you eat! He is faithful!
Amen Thanks
Nothing like the clean smell of the woods after a rain. Here in coastal California, we won't get any real rain until November--if we're lucky.
I'm from NorCal. I've been enjoying the rain vicariously watching TH-cam videos.
The whole world look better after rain. 👍🏻
th-cam.com/video/0FSXCWtSJ8E/w-d-xo.html
This is my second time watching, love it, so glad you pray an spend time with your son (time is the proof of love) God bless!
Another great video. I’m glad to see dads praying with their kids.
Thank you!
@@Bushradical You are very welcome, brother. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Between you and Brooke I am completely satisfied with my desire to be in the backwoods!! Sending MUCH love and support, small town gal in NH
Thanks Stephanie
Just a very calming video! Nice to see your Boy there with you and in the Video. Will Brooke and Bella join you guys up there or is this a Men only trip? Thanks for sharing ❤
Stephanie I'm right down the street from you in MA
I love it you've taken 1 big step!!!
th-cam.com/video/0FSXCWtSJ8E/w-d-xo.html
I think it is time for your own tv show, Dave. Your videos are awesome in every way!
@@holygeneration7 You got that right! Never really thought about it that way...
Another great video! Please keep sending them. Your shower is an ingenious system with no batteries required.
Man that looks awesome, so peaceful, no people around except your family, love it
I envy you with the storm coming down.I sleep with a rain / storm machine every night.So soothing.
One of the best videos Dave....don't know how you do it, but I've never been as excited about rain collection!! You do an incredible job buddy....start to finish, always the best, and we are actually the ones blessed to be able to tag along👍
Wow, thanks!
Great video. Have fun!!
th-cam.com/video/0FSXCWtSJ8E/w-d-xo.html
You are so fortunate to be young and strong, keep dreaming the dream Dave!
Thank you for sharing your family praying over your meal. May God bless you and your family.
Love love love how you narrate. So calming.
Yes very good voice , and hellofa carpenter. PEACE MY BROTHA...
He does a great job
He is A very good narrator!!!
excuse me plissth-cam.com/video/0FSXCWtSJ8E/w-d-xo.html
I'm so glad you were able to make it up there, and to see everything is O.K. Hopefully next year we can drive there. I always enjoy that. It is crazy how fast a rain barrel does fill. Thanks Dave.
maybe next year
I love that sensation of rushing to get things done before a storm. Getting home, bringing in groceries, hauling in firewood as the first drops or snowflakes start then closing the door, all done, just as the skies open up. You captured it beautifully in this video. Great job, Dave! I also enjoy the banter between you and your lovely wife, Brooke, in other videos and how thankful and appreciative you are of everything, big and small.
You know you're a cool guy when you can make collecting rain water sound exciting.
LOL, thanks
Love how the rain smells!!
me too
Wow, had to come in and say many congratulations on passing 100K! You have an amazing channel with quality content, thanks for all the work you put in, appreciated. Wishing you all the best Dave
Thanks so much!
Its nice to hit that milestone for sure
When it comes down to it, clean living- that's the best. Amen brother
Enjoyed this very much. We live in New Mexico and missed having a monsoon this past summer. Grateful for rain. Sweet praying. In Jesus Name Amen
Looks wonderful up at your cabin. Beautiful landscape that you get to see everyday. Nothing like a father/son trip too. As always, take care and be safe.
Wow Dave... Mick is gonna be taller than u soon! He's growing so fast!!
Great video by the way, love the sound of rain!!
From one child of God to another, thank you for sharing this with us.
Such a simple take on 'chillin' ' at the cabin with your nice young man = BLESSED! You KNOW this and it comes through all your vids = DEEP APPRECIATION of Life! Even though I am an ol' widow watchin', and it is not my lifestyle (though I have dreamt about it often) I am happy to see you enjoying this kind of life = BLISS! Keeping God in your life (prayer B 4 meals etc.) keeps a flow of good things coming...you learn how to profit from ALL that comes your way in peace! Health and God's continued abundant blessings upon you n' yours!
thanks
Fabulous vlog episode, Dave. I am highly addicted to you and Brooke and your insight regarding homesteading and bushcraft. My heroes.
Thank you kindly
I see the deer left you alone this time 👍
Have fun up there!!
I flew this time. LOL
@@Bushradical I don't know Dave. Some of those deer jump really high... Good to see you made it back up north.
Prayers before you eat and an appreciation for what you have. You are good people , God bless.
Love your videos and enjoyed seeing your son. And love that you say grace; the world needs more of that. God bless...
Thank you so much!
I'm Tom Bodette. And we'll leave the light on for ya.
Hahahaha Yeahzzz
Omg motel 6 lol!!!!
lmao
Hey I know you do doctor Daniel I miss you. Give me a little more info
th-cam.com/video/0FSXCWtSJ8E/w-d-xo.html
The "off grid" life was pretty foreign to people a short while ago lol We love it!
I know what you mean. Brooke and I built our first cabin outside of Fairbanks Alaska 20 years ago and it was pretty normal up here ( bad ground) ( no water) ( outhouse) . The Fairbanks area is full of what they call "dry cabins". Some have power , some dont, none have running water, all have outhouses.
I never thought back then that people would be so interested in that sort of living.
And before that, it was the dominant mode of living for hundreds of thousands of years! Crazy how society changes.
Lol! Not if you grew up there.
@@Bushradical i want to sell everything I own and build a cabin somewhere, I would really like help, a companion.. Your life inspires me brother, I'm 24 and I rent in Alberta Canada in a small city. I don't have many skills but I have the dreams and willingness to learn. How do I start this I have no land land is very expensive around here not to mention the lumber price. I seen your 2400 dollar cabin you build. Priorities... I can do it.
When you build a home off grid, do you have to follow local building codes? I'm extremely familiar with multiple trades and could do most the work myself.
Great video I have a rain collection system too you have to be thankfully for every drop. Nice to see you enjoying time with you son and giving thanks for your meal.
Great video!! I’ve been watching both you and Brooke since my hubby died almost a year ago!! Very relaxing!!
Dave, you are sir, a master story teller that has walked in the path of the outdoors man. I’m a recent sub, but thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thanks. And thanks for the sub!
Hope you two have a wonderful time up there! It's always the simple things in life.
God bless this man the thing the touch my heart when he’s about to take his breakfast he prays to God God bless this man in all aspect……. For me he’s very professional
Praise AHYAH!!
A man after YAH'S own heart!!
I so appreciate your adventures!
First off love your channel. It’s crisp, clean and stunning in its cinematography. And you have a great narrators voice. You should look into doing narration / voice over work.
I agree with Tommas B..
Loved it absolutely. Wish it was a bit longer (the video)
WOOOW, WOW, WOW !!! Plus, I LOVE RAIN ! ☔ I can't help it... It's my English blood... 😍 GOOD TIMES,GUY'S !!! 💒
LOL right on

Prayer before the meal, best part of the video

I have plans to move and live off grid one day I just hope and pray that this country doesn’t fall due to Gods wrath before then. Godbless and your a true inspiration for many. 🙏🏻
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing with us, can't imagine it was easy recording and trying to get things done in time
No it was a bit of a rush
@@Bushradical But you had a camera man this time.

Thee is nothing more relaxing than listening to the rain
true
The most outstanding videos(no ah? Uh ahuh) and you don't just show yourself talking into the camera! Your intelligence,perception and execution is amazing! Wishing you health and joy.
Amen..🙌 Hallelujia.. Praise be to God❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Dude You are a genius! your carpentry is amazing I love the clear roofs 🙏 thank you for all your great information. Radical Brah Aloha
I appreciate that!
Thank you for not editing out your praying what a blessing.
Always!
Thank you for SHARING your VIDEO... off grid is a awesome way of living... takes you back to when everything we did meant it's for tomorrow... And it all turns out to be perfect... thank you...
Absolutely!!
Love watching both you and Brooke , the sound of the rain puts me to sleep 😴. I love that you are Christians we are also , what a beautiful place you have in Alaska and the u p of Michigan . Liked your video there drilling a well . Thx for sharing your adventures with us . 💕💕
thank you
I noticed the last name of Messer. My people settled in the Cincinnati area in the early 1870's after leaving Germany. My great great grandfather was one of the first graduates from the University of Cincinnati Medical School. He moved his family to Santa Paula, California in the early 1890's. One of his sons had a ranch around Lancaster, California. My great grandfather, while on the wagon train, was left in Missouri after he caught malaria. He ended up staying in Missouri after falling in love with his nurse. Here he stayed and here I am as well. Take care and stay healthy. Vaughn
your voice telling the story is so soothing , nice. rain water is wonderful isn't it ! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time in the AK
Thank you so much!
@@Bushradical j+join the
I agree. I need to check out his channel to see if he's got a video on how he built his shower.
@@Bushradical 0a@ @@@
Thank you Jesus for sharing👍
I feel relaxed myself,watching this.
There's always a "way" when you want it strongly enough. Thanks for sharing another slice of peace and simplicity, Dave! Keep Going ... God Bless :)
Amen, my dream is to build my own house. Price of lumber and land is very steep.
The only thing that I didn't like about this video is that I could only give it 1 thumbs up. I liked seeing you giving thanks and praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Be safe and be blessed. And be radical eh!
Thanks Big Silver!
th-cam.com/video/0FSXCWtSJ8E/w-d-xo.html
Love the prayer before the meal.
You are a simple man with simple needs. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
Very well done video. Thumbs up my friend.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival now that’s a feather in your cap coming from the godfather of bushcraft !!!!
I'm curious how you do laundry in an off grid cabin? I do enjoy your videos. And your wife's as well.
Same question. But I guess the only answer could be to do the laundry in a nearby town, otherwise it would cost too much rainwater.
@@henriktoth56 I imagine he uses the gray water from his showers and then adds a few detergents packs that way he can use the water twice
Wash in a pail and hang it to dry
I heated water and put in a 5 gallon bucket and beat with a long "stick" and used old soap stone sink like they use all over Mexico with a bowl to rinse
I love to hear that rain falls on the roof. We had an aliminum roof when i was a child and i just loved to hear that rain falling on the roof. For some reason, it felt very comforting
I agree. Ive always enjoyed it
I've watched you and your wife shower twice, we're family now. P.S I just pulled a bunch of gutters out of the trash and bought an urn style rain barrel (my luxury item) for my cabin. I can't wait to do this.
I just don't know how you could ever leave such a beautiful place, especially with your cabin setup but guess you have to go home sometime, right??
I have three properties and travel between them
Hi ya, I liked the video & I was looking for the link of your metal canister shower pumper thing, I like that...Is it 2 or 3 gallons? Take Care💒 You & Brooke have taught me so much❗
Good to see the prayer!
I love your place and I could sleep like a baby with the sound of rain on the roof. You all amaze me with the accomplishments you have made with the property. Only one thumbs up but should of been more.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this perspective, Dave. Sometimes a gentile nudge in the right direction really helps me to Remember to be thankful for the tranquility of the little things.
Glad to see Mick and you made it up. The rain’s been pretty regular lately. Hope we have time to visit a little this summer!
Rob
I love that u thanked God for ur food n the rain...more folks need to b doing that
I was very thankful to have it
As a fellow follower of Christ and as a Father and now Grandpa I immediately subscribed to your channel as I listened to you pray over your lunch with your son. Blessings to you and thanks for sharing your life with us.
That was neat seeing you and your son up there. Does your daughter ever come with you? I've never seen either one of them. You'd make a super meteorologist. You were spot on.
Stay safe up there and enjoy your trip.
Our daughter has a job and decided not to go.
Love it! You should do a full property tour video. I didn't know you had a second cabin out there.
Yes! Was thinking the same.
Dave, your weather prediction was spot on, better than my local meteorologists making a lot of money reporting the weather.
LOL. You can see the rain coming across the valley
Enjoyed this video
