- This is winter in Idaho. Building an off-grid house as a couple in Idaho has a few challenges that other places don't have, SNOW. We don't always get to build on our house because we have to deal with snow. We love it!

Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...

Go to like Harbor Freight and get some of those moving blankets, lay those over the front half of your cab on the viehicles to cover the side and front window, remove it first and hang it on a clothes line to knock out the snow before putting it back on. Will make clearing your viehicles alot easier. The Moving Blankets are usually soft enough to not scratch the paint.

I put chains on my tractor yesterday, so hopefully it does not snow all that much! I hate putting them on after it snows!!
A clean push broom works better that a regular broom for cleaning off the vehicles.
A telescopic car broom with a brush on one edge and a rubber blade on the other edge and an ice scraper on the other end are the best tool for clearing snow, especially on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs where your arms reach is limited.
Now...imagine delivering newspapers on a 3 mile route daily for 4 years as a kid with those kind of winters ....all up hill of course !
I have a tarp over my tractor, but I use a leaf blower to dust off the vehicles, the blower works great on the powder and gets in all the crevasses.
All our snow melted, now its pouring rain and the yard is like soup. Terrible weather for a golden retriever owner. She (the dog) loves it
Big snow day! So much fun and so much work. 😆
Just what Marty ordered, Merry Christmas
Oh you southerners! Snow comes every winter. Love from North Sweden.
Soooo much snow! Getting ready right now to dig our animals out for the day. Can I cry? 😢
I think you need a Snow Blower instead of a plow. A set of snow chains would help the tractor moving in the snow.
Merry Christmas! My only way to see Christmas snow is on TH-cam - high of 75 in central Arkansas today. If we got that much snow we would be closed down for several days.
I'm from Fayetteville. Yea it was warm for this time of year
I always loved the snow. Not so much now. Thankful to live in Florida now!🌴🌞
Wow that’s a lot of snow ❄️, be safe and warm family
Those humidifier you have on the stove are great! We have one and we put cinnamon sticks we get from the store and put in the water and it smells up the whole house it’s great!
Merry Christmas. Some real hard and freezing work there. Now here in the UK, we would really show you how to do it. With that level of snow we would have shut the door to the country and turned the lights off.
Merry Christmas from Mississippi! It is currently 74. Enjoy your videos, especially the laughter!
Loving our north Idaho snow! Shoveling? Not so much. I at least created a path to my woodpile and to the garage where I'm preparing for the final plumbing inspection of the new retreat center. Let it snow!
Sending wishes to the Johnson Family for a Very Merry Christmas!
Having a cab and chains are worth gold in the winter.
Merry Christmas Johnson Family :)
I started your pushup challenge on the 21st, I've done many many sets of 20 to try and catch up, I just did the 25 along with you guys a few minutes ago, I only have 45 more to go to catch up with the monthly total of 325...Yes Jules, that's right, you've done 325 pushups to date. Way to go everyone :)
Froehliche Weinachten und ein Gesundes Neues Jahr! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HEALTHY NEW YEAR! Marty,you need a snow suit to keep warm. Jules,Sarah and Seth,you have great parents- God Bless you all ! Semper Fi, Peter
Put silicone spray on the rubber door seals, to keep them from getting frozen shut. A much better way of getting a frozen door lock working, (better than those things marketed for the purpose.), is to take a propane torch out with you. Heat the key, and shove it in there and wait a bit.
A Very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you all!! Here in Maple Ridge BC Canada we just had our second white Christmas in the last 13 years. It was quite the experience for our grandkids to wake up to Santa's gifts and a little bit of a White Christmas
When the temperature gets down close to zero or below a great starting aid for the tractor is a hair dryer. Open the air filter housing and stick it in there on high. You don't need to wait, just do the normal glow plug sequence and crank it over. It won't damage the engine like starting fluid.
Block heaters are 1-2kw, probably not a good idea for your power setup.
If you get regular snows like that you may consider a blower for the tractor, and tire chains too.
Yes!! Tire chains really help in deep snow. Many years ago in N. Minn. I was working at a ski resort. It was closing time and cars were leaving the parking lot. I go to leave and see two cars nose to nose trying to get one car started. (A common occurrence.) Oh yeah, it was around -20F all day. These guys just couldn't get the car started. (Also not uncommon at the time.) I went over to help with a sure fix. The spark plugs usually would frost over and short out the plugs. The trick was to take 3 - 4 plugs out (for a V8) and heat them up with a propane torch (which I kept in my trunk). So, we pull the plugs, heat them up, put them back in and go to fire it up. I see a can of starting fluid laying on the snow...I asked how much they used..."not very much." Ok, crank it... He did. Followed by a huge ka-boom! 3 - 4 spark plugs were blown out of the engine due to over half a jumbo trucker sized can of starting ether having been loaded into the engine before hand. We found the plugs buried in the fenders. "Not very much huh?" And, I left...
@@WarpFactor999 even worse than that is someone filling the intake of a diesel with nose candy and then turning the glow plugs on, 😂.
I've heard of the propane torch trick on spark plugs, I've fortunately never been reduced to that.
@@WarpFactor999 I've started a stubborn Willy's jeep with a propane torch, not lit, but running wide open upside down in the carburetor. It would idle on it, but nothing more.
@@RealDeanWinchester Great point! I had forgotten about that trick. Propane is MUCH safer to use than starting ether.
Merry Christmas! I am enjoying your daily videos. Living in Grand Rapids, Michigan I can totally relate to the snow, but you have excess right now! We are actually having 40 and 50 degree weather the last few days here and I am loving it.
I think you need to invest in remote car starters!
It's been fun seeing your daughter home, I will miss seeing her when she leaves again.
God bless you all in the coming year.
Merry Christmas Johnson family! From Iowa no snow here. Have a great day. ❤🎄🙏👋❄🎅🎅
Lol, grew up in deep snow country. We plowed a lane and a parking space--before we moved the vehicles. Then we plowed the rest, and moved the vehicles to where we wanted them.
You should close in the place you keep the tractor to keep the snow off! Maby a big tarp!🍀🍀💒
Your definetly right about everything coming to.a.stop for a few inches of snow well here in the UK anyways.But to be fare that car park at Walmart was full of trucks bigger than the town I live in lol
I love when it snows like that
Of all the stuff out there, Marty falls in love with a tiny pan 😂
For me here, today is Christmas. With being out in the snow all day, shoveling, on the tractor plowing snow, moving vehicles around, helping the neighbor...I would have given you a pass on the pushups today. Good job keeping the pushups going. Merry Christmas Johnson family.
Martin, I have said it before, you have a beautiful family. Makes building a home the best thing that you could provide. I would honestly suggest some jiffy chains for your vehicles and some real chains for the tractor. I thought you had a differential lock on the tractor so all four tires would have traction all the time. Snow is the only time its good for an really if you get in trouble with them, its a winch or tow truck to move it as it tries to find china.
I grew up in Jersey and now I live in East TN in the mountains. We can get up to two feet of snow in one storm. I do not miss all of the shoving of snow, as we have been going to Mexico for the past 7 winters. It is Christmas Day and the temperature is 80 degrees right now.
Watching y’all have fun clearing the snow was awesome thanks!
Wish we had snow like this now! So fun to catch this video and see familiar places and faces. Love you guys!
Merry Christmas to the Johnson family have a blessed day.
Merry Christmas Johnson family! Thank you for sharing your days! Blessings to you
Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year
Merry Christmas Guys. Be blessed.
Merry Christmas. Keep smiling.
Merry Christmas to you, Julie, Seth, and Sarah, and of course your whole extended family.
Thank you so much for brightening up our year with such awesome, educational, and entertaining content.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years
And you kept telling us you couldn't wait for the snow... Really? In ND we don't hope we get a lot of snow. Merry Christmas and have a Great New Year!! I really like you having a video every day, keep up the good work.
Have a Merry Christmas folks. Glad you got snow. Iowa is watching
Thank you so much and God Bless you all, Stephen from Melbourne Australia Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas. I would like to ask about a sloped roof for the apartament stairs so the rain and the snow can be avoided over the steps. In addition, these steps may have metal grating, no pretty but safer. Take care all of you.
cut size of steps great idle
Merry Christmas!!! Hope you are still enjoying all this snow we are having!
Hope you and yours have a blessed Christmas- best one ever ! Stay safe
I enjoy your channel, but today I'm celebrating an unusually warm Christmas in Oklahoma. Enjoy the snow.
Where i live is never no snow. But i love watching you guys enjoy it. Have a Happy Christmas.stay safe.
Merry Christmas! Thank you for your enjoyable clean entertainment. Love your family and your kids smiles and Christian hearts. You have done good!!!
I counted 26 after Tux interrupted you. My 'hats off' to Jewels for her effort. She never once did her pushups on her knees.
Here in England a severe weather warning would be half inch of snow and would close the country down! Merry Christmas to you all. Thanks for the videos.
Yeah because england small than Russia 😂
Merry Christmas 🎄 I wish you health , peace, safe, joy , happiness, blessing 🙏🙏😊
Merry Christmas Family❣️🎄 I remember those kinds of snow. Today in MD it’s a balmy 65. Love how your family works together and your house is just beautiful just like your lives❣️
Merry Christmas, Marty, Julie, Sarah & Seth. Hope you had a wonderful day. God Bless You All.
Merry Christmas Martin, Julie, Seth, and Sarah from the UK - been following you with interest.
Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us throughout the year. Your "snowmagedden" reminds me of growing up in N. Minnesota. In 1966 we had a record snow fall for the year with a bit over 8' of snow on the level. Was great for skiing (I was an avid alpine skier at the time), but made it really hard to get around. One of the reasons why I moved to Texas after I got out of the Navy...you don't have to shovel sunshine. ;o) Cheers to you all and God bless!
I am still keeping up! Merry Christmas!
Lot of pretty snow. Merry Christmas God Bless
We used to get snow like that in Nebraska also went out and about. Getting lots of rain in So Cal. Blessings, Merry Christmas and a peaceful Happy New Year. I'll watch your push ups. You are doing great.
Merry Christmas, Johnson clan! 😊
Wow! Just a little bit of snow. Yous are just south of the border and we have some tho nothing like you have and are sitting at -21. Such a joy to watch and follow your channel. Stay safe and warm!
Merrry Christmas Mr Martin Johnson.
From my house to yours Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas! I did my push-ups to start this glorious morning, and now I'm ready for a nap. lol
No snow in Florida, but boy did this video and snow brighten it up! I miss snow, well Christmas Day at least. LOL
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the snow.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄, glad that snow is you and not me we only have rain.
You are very lucky bu julie cause has very humble kids
On slippery surfaces/snow place the transmission in second gear to start off in . This reduces the wheel spin tendency when delivering full engine power vis first gear.
Nice form, Julie!
Frosty the Snow Man you Guys have a very Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas ☃️🎄
Merry Christmas and joy in all🎄🎁🌟💫
A shop style push broom works better for vehicle snow removal. You can push and pull the snow off.
Definitely need to do that!
Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Merry Christmas!
you have just had your shortest day of daylight but winter is a month behind. enjoy the cold, however your solar will slowly pick up. Hope you had a good christmass. mine was very good with kids & grandkids.
I'm not jealous, I live in Texas and love the warmth. Merry Christmas to y'all. 😅🤗🤗
Beautiful white Christmas 🎅
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry Christmas 🎄
I am smiling with you guys because you guys are so happy MERRY Christmas 🎅 🎄 I wish we had the snow you guys have it's beautiful GOD BLESS.
Jules is hilarious. Merry Christmas to you all !😁
You know that someone is an Idaho immigrant when they don't clear their hood of snow. That snow will end up on your windshield, it just varies when and how much at a time. Eventually your rig will end up in the ditch or a wreck.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
and my God Bless you all. I miss you
I have seen you all.🎄⛄😊🌹❤🌹🇺🇸.
Merry Christmas !!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas 🎅
