Back in the day , when a person got snow tires on, it meant studded tires. If you live in a snow prone area and you have a wood or coal stove, ashes were one of your best friends in the winter.
Great tip, thank you! Blessings 🌱
What do ashes do?
@@yourmomsspaghetti5990 greatly improves traction on snow and ice.
I've used my car mats. It wasn't great but did eventually work. It was my only alternative before calling someone.
Hey Jenna, You give sitting outside having a cold beer a whole new meaning....BBBRRRrrrrrrrrrr 🥶🥶🥶🥶
It was lovely, haha 😎🍺
Girl you are so cute. I enjoy watching you go about your chores. You are definitely a hoot. Keep ‘em coming. Spring is around the corner.
A cardboard box with some ashes, inside a plastic bag, in the trunk. Always makes me feel better prepared while on the road.
Hi Jenna! If you didn’t already know this, putting plastic trash bags held on with a rubber band on your car mirrors will help to keep them clear from any ice and snow buildup.
My boss called and interrupted me watching a new Gypsy Jenna video......how rude!!!!
71 degrees here in Texas today (22 C). You have snow...... we have tornadoes, hail, and dust storms.
Fun video, thanks!!!!!!!
Stay safe down there and enjoy the nice weather!
I lost 3 days of solar last snow :-(. I have to get on my metal roof to clean them off “wasn’t happening :-(. This spring I’m going to build my rack on the ground :-). Bless you 🙏🏼. Love your video’s.
I just found your channel enjoyed watching several videos. Really been impressed with your problem solving and coping skills. Not just anyone can go out and live without the Utilities like you are.
Ashes to the rescue. Also good for putting on gardens all winter and later tilling it under to revitalize the soil a bit. Love that wind in the tree's sound, music to my ears among other things such as babbling brooks, birdsong and cat's purring... I bet your wood will last through February, but honestly, God only knows. Have a great week Jenna.
Ohh babbling brooks, I miss that sound!
thanks for the update on your home stead. The car getting stuck. Build a car ramp . yep 3-5 inches above your driveway height out of barn wood slabs . 5-10 degree forward slope . Or buy a carport enclosure at 5 times the cost . but year round benefits. Buy an extendable painters pole , up to 16 feet . they use the same 3/4 threads as a paint roller handle, and also works on a shop push broom head, for clearing roof snow , etc. and or make a panel cover for your solar , yes pre cover it before the snow and remove it in the morning. ! Keep important life tasks simple and repeatable. systems make for a reliable , daily life . Think of the simple additional , one time tasks that make the morning burden , less so . Park your fire circle place chairs , up side down !!! so the bottom seat is always dry for your back side . Yes you are learning as you grow. Congrats on that . understood. consider , the mind set of training your future self , in simplicity. Not criticizing you... Break your patterns, to make your day easier. prevention , preparation and redundancy :) add a few siliconed quarters to the cat door to keep it closed .
Great sense of humor, Jenna! As long as you keep your sense of humor, you can survive Old Man Winter. You did a wonderful job of keeping us entertained and even ol' Rickety got in on the comic relief. Wow! That wood pile is going down fast. I hope you get a mid-Winter thaw for at least a week so you can get some more firewood. Wouldn't it be nice to see the ground again? You made me think back to my time in Alaska and I am sorry to say, "I want no part of that again!" I remember those mid-Winter blues and thinking about a warm sandy beach and plenty of Sun. I just noticed you have over 18k subscribers! I knew you were famous. Notoriety comes at a hefty price though, don't turn into a "Gypsicle Jenna" or is that a "Jenna Gypsicle". Someday, when it's warmer, remind me to tell you about the "beersicle run". Stay warm my friend!
Thanks Rob, if I didn't laugh, I'd probably cry! 😅🤣😂
Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait!
Yes the winter blues I have that for sure
As a southern boy down here on the gulf coast of Florida, my observation is as follows. I enjoy watching your videos showing the majesty of nature and winter. Personally, I was not built for high temperatures high humidity. I was built more for snow in the mountains. But the last time I was in Anchorage in the winter, it was 22 below zero and we had 17 feet of snow. I can relate.😊 This morning here it was a brisk 46°, 50% humidity. I had to put on a down vest.😂
Regarding the hum of the gas regulator. That's the membrane that vibrates at a high frequency due the gas flow.
There is black screw on the side of the regulator, if you unscrew that, there is a big screw under for a flat bed screwdriver. This screw regulates the pressure, turning this screw 90° will stop the hum. If you turn this screw clockwise, you increase the gas pressure, counter clockwise will decrease the gas pressure. If there is another regulator between this outside regulator and your furnace and refrigerator, then the little difference(lower or higher) in gas pressure can't harm anything. Also, turning this screw just 90° doesn't change the pressure that much, but enough to stop the vibration of the membrane. If you unscrew the black screw while there is gas flow, the hum can temporary get louder and make a buzzing sound, untill the black screw is placed back in place. That's normal. No gas will come out when you unscrew this black screw, because this is above the membrane, the gas is on the other side of this membrane. Grtz
Thanks for the info!
@@gypsyjenna no problem ;-)
That's very useful hopefully I can remember that if the situation ever comes up
Love your cats 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️! We get cold weather here, only been in Pennsylvania 2 yrs. Originally from New Jersey. I find those winter blahs setting in about February! Hang in there, spring will be here before you know it! Stay warm and safe!! Peace and love to all!!
I'm going to guess your 1 & a 1/2 stacks of wood will last you 3 & 1/2 weeks tops. Wow that was relaxing sitting around the fire pit having a beer with ya☺️👍 Looked refreshing😁 Always a great video, I love watching all the way through💯 Your new ladder is going to be nice😃 And thanks for the tip with the ashes, I never knew that.
I love your content and your light hearted attitude! You’re inspiring me , in 7 years I’m going retire in the Missouri Ozarks and you’re showing me some good ideas. Thanks and stay safe.
Glad to hear it! I hope retirement comes to you even sooner! 🙂
Yes retirement is good today here in the ozarks it got up to 50 deg plus sunny tomorrow 65 whooo hooo I’ll drink one for you tomorrow 👍👍👍👍
I bought a telescopic pole in the paint department at Walmart for about $20 dollars and attached a cheap broom head to it. It makes cleaning the snow off of my solar panels so much easier,no more ladders!!!!!!😊
ROWDY WEATHER, IT WAS 52 IN IDAHO TODAY, BUT JANUARY WAS AS LOW AS -10F. BRRRRRR.... AWESOME JOB WITH THE WOOD ASHES, YOU DEF KNOW HOW TO IMPROVISE. STAY WAR LIL LADY, GOD BLESS.🙏🙏🤙🤙💙💙😁😉
Hi Jenna you did great with the ashes I used to use skid chains that strap on the tires for the snow been lousy winter so far in Jersey like rain every other day but no snow not crazy about it when your older, love watching your videos stay safe and warm Dear
Brrr! Stay warm!
Suggestion on your cleanoff issues. Try to find an old pool cleaning screen on a pole then modify it to have a brush on it. Easy and much safer than a ladder!
Girl I must say you are truly the ticket------Im impressed with your natural beauty and your ability to withstand whatever mother nature throws your way.
Great vid, as usual! I really like learning how people live in such a frigid environment off grid, and live very well! Thank you for sharing.
Love the scenery ❤
Its been a crazy month of weather here on Maryland's eastern shore. 70° one week, 5 inches of snow the next. Stay warm Gypsy Jenna!!
Hello neighbor…. ✌️
I’m saddened that we no longer get those big snow storms….
Thanks Jen . enjoyed the video.😊
LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the ending!
Fun times in the winter!
Thanks! ✌️
You are a real trooper !
Just love your little place. ❤
Good going Jenna
You might want to consider an older Subaru Outback really nice in the snow ,I also have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee both are older but great in the snow All wheel drive and Four wheel low also on jeep.Hate getting stuck also live very rural
Take care ❤️
I agree , Subaru only for the winter for me . I have 3 , 2 foresters and a outback. The forester will literally drive through 4ft of snow pushing it up over the hood ! Just Subaru’s come with added cost of rep compared to a Toyota.
Just be careful out there Jenna, great video as usual
Thanks for sharing love watching your videos.
Tackles the winter every year, with a smile on her face.
Jenna, it's always a blast.
Keep warm
Started watching your videos a while back. So funny! Thanks for entertaining us ❤
i love your winter videos takes me back when i lived in a 50s trailer out in the boondocks in the winter
Great video, you definitely deserved that beer after all the hard work! Stay safe and warm jenna❤
Love your videos ! Always funny amazing sense of humor.
I agree, spring can't come soon enough! You shovel and deal with winter like a champ though Jenna 🙌 Wood ashes are great for the slippery sidewalk too.... messy though, very messy! ☺
Hi Jenna: I just discovered your channel. Your content is fantastic and you're AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.
Waiting for spring as well
Cool tip about using ashes , thanks
Hey, Thanks for that snowball in my face! It was greatly appreciated! It helped cool me off, while sitting here, sweating my ass off, under the Tiki hut, sipping on a Rum Runner. I needed something different, than jumping in the pool, to cool off,
😅🤣 you're very welcome then! Lol
Wow. Didn’t know about the ashes trick. Thank you
What a great waying to live off-grid and enjoy the simple things in life, fishing and the great outdoors
Haha that bow/curtsy after the ashes trick.
Jenna you have a beautiful place that's what I do setting around the campfire drinking a beer thanks for the video God bless you sweetheart amen
Cool trick with the ashes. and congratulations on the forth coming new ladder.
Thank you for sharing Jenna. Summer is on the way. New ladder is Great. My goodness that is some wind. Beer around the fure pit, awesome. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
So windy there, I'm guessing the end of February on the wood. Cheers.👍👍🔥🍻
When I'm outside tending to the snow, I always wonder what folks in warmer climates are doing at the very moment? Bike riding, fishing, going for walks, playing sports, swimming...well, who needs that! Back breaking shoveling, spending times on a slippery ladder, clearing roof is pure adventure! Ok, cold climates suck mainly, because the winter time in the northeast is too long! I think my back hurts from watching you shovel! Great video! -Miss the smile / frown face temp display!
I'm getting the winter blues too but you always put a grin on my face. Spring always seem so far away this time of year.
We used to use ashes for that. Snotcicles, never heard that before. He’s stalking you Jenna. Have a great day Jenna.
Snotcicles - one of our many true Canadian terms lol
I just got plowed out today here in Pictou County.. paths to the wood shed and chicken coops done.. i use wood ash too.. get ready for this weekends weather 😊
I can't believe you've got SKEETERS!. Only Jenna, only in the middle of winter in a snowstorm...
I was moaning about our 68 degree Florida high for today, and then I switched on the Gypsy Jenna show; mercy sakes girl, that looks freezing.
I just subscribed yesterday . Texas here enjoying watching snow from a distance lol😊
Enjoying your channel 😂
Thank you 🙂
Hey Jenna. Love watching your videos. I'm hoping to get some land up in northern Maine in a year or two. Your videos give me an idea of what it is like to live up north. I love the winter and while I don't like being cold I love the cold weather if that makes any sense. Stay safe.
I cant believe you have not made a snowman!! In UK we love our snow men. We also do not get much snow anyway, which possibly explains a lot. Great update Jenna. Best wishes.⛸
Looks like I'm a little late for the snow day at Jenna's video. Nice trick, getting unstuck with the ashes.👍🏾
A pine branch works amazing for getting a car unstuck, we keep a few branches in our pickup truck lol. great video as always :) Kitty looks like it's on a mission to finally catch that chipmunk lol.
I forgot to mention, Have you considered starting a veggie garden in the spring? May have to clear some trees, it would also make your home safer from trees breaking in storms. just an ideal :)
Snow is a nuisance. But good for the heart. Have a great day. Love the vids.
Hello 👋 Jenna hope you are doing alright.try to stay warm. I really do enjoy your videos they are awesome take care and be safe.looking forward to your next one 😊
Love your videos and look forward to them. I admire your grit! I’m from Vermont traveling down in Arizona for a few months. Don’t miss the snow and cold. Might just make a habit out of this snowbird stuff.
Stay warm!
Awee Snowbirding! My dream! Enjoy!
Jenna another top show 👍 thanks for sharing very enjoyable stay warm
Johno Darwin NT 33 degrees here and
Humid 🍺
Wowzers, sounds sticky there!
Thanks for the snowball, it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit today in Central California (77 yesterday). We’re expecting rain for the next few days, so there goes the solar, but it beats snow! Stay warm and safe!
You are hilarious 😊
I’ve been watching for awhile, but I just subbed😊
Boy, oh boy, it looks so cold 🥶 there. In Minnesota we don't have any snow. It's so strange. It was 53 degrees today--first time in history, I'm told. Stay safe 😊.
Dear Jenna..Have been seeing the monsterous storm that hit the Maritimes this week..can't stop thinking about you,and hope everything is working and you are safe and warm,or staying somewhere while you dig out or whatever.Thats scary amounts of snow! Best of luck and safety Jenna and Kitties! Take care.
Hi Joanne, thanks for the concern. It was a lot of snow, especially in Cape Breton! All good here and back to business as usual thanks 😊
I enjoyed the video.
Love the NSLC Toque . cheers🍻
🍻
Hi Jenna we got a lot of snow in cape breton I was sick thru it all thank God we didn't loss power well my dear stay safe and warm love you ❤
Oh my goodness, you guys got a real mess over there! I hope you're feeling better and staying safe!
Hi Jenna, I was frezzzing looking at you doing your snow jobs, we got no snow this year yet not since 2018 not fair. Any way nice to see Ramsey out for a walk , your home is so hot you confused the mosquitos.
Lived in Helena Montana for 13 yrs, got tired of all the cold weather and snow, below 0s moved back to south in 2012
Sometimes if you put a little kittie litter or icemelt around your tires. That usually works. Greetings from Maine😊
Lol on the snowball! I can just imagine how hard it must be to get out of the cozy camper,to maintain and clear everything so things run smoothly.Cool trick with the ashes! You are an inspiring person..strong and well deserving of that beer and an early spring lol.Stay safe and keep on hanging on! Ramsey has a wild side haha
Haha that he does 🐱
Now those are my kinda day. I would keep those ashes in your car. The day you don't have them your going to get stuck. Love that snow ball throw. See you on your next video Jenna, stay warm and safe.
Yes, I probably should keep some in my car eh? I will likely get stuck again, Winter is not over yet lol
You’re not easy ❤❤
Sometimes when its snowing you just need someone to give you a push to get out of a rut. If you put it in 2nd and slipped the clutch a lot it might have just crawled out of there but ashes were probably easier. Funny story many years ago we had a freak snow storm at work one night which we get in England some winters and I had to tow my colleague in his very expensive BMW 525D about a mile to the main road with my shitty old Toyota. Silly boy had summer tyres on it and it was the middle of nowhere. We had no gritting or snow ploughs up that road.
The one thing I do notice about summer tyres vs winter tyres is in my experience summer tyres feel like they grip better in the wet than winters and they're more hard wearing. We mainly get wet weather in England in summer so except a month or two a year I generally run summers.
Stay warm Jenna!
Ashes, great idea. I keep cat litter and a few carpet samples in my car.😊
Ohh carpet samples, not a bad idea
In Melbourne Australia at the moment it is 21°C blue skies and sunshine.
Jealous lol
What a "Pain in the ASH" living in the snow.
I still see a wobbly ladder. 😢
10 days ago you had two columns of wood. down to 1.5 columns now so I figure 30 more days of firewood, end of February.
Yes, I have palm trees 🌴
Hey Gypsy Jenna my off grid snow princess! Stay warm girl !!!!
just started watching love the channel...super cool wish i lived in camper ...
Hey, Jenna! We had the same storm here in Newfoundland. We had a lot more wind and a lot more snow. I personally hate winter. Spring cannot come soon enough. Love your vids! Give those sweet kitties of yours a big old kiss from the Rock! LOL
They accepted your smooch and said to kiss a cod for them :)
were so rooting for yah Darling
Oh girl that snow ball in the face was great 😂 I love your channel and love watching your life. I to am living on a piece of property in my rv. I'm in Southern B.C. in the Kootenays. We just went through -24 🤮 I hate winter to lol
Brrrr, stay warm over there!
yes ashes work -used on long lanway into farm in winter. Might look into a small wind power unit. Enjoy vids and need them more often . Just "Keep on Cooglin"
Great tip with the ashes . Girl I am getting the winter blues for you . I love your spirit , but that is too damn much work . Hoping for an early spring for you . 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Enjoyed this one again,after midnight 2 1 24😂❤
Don't forget to LIKE 👍 Another great video Jenna, thanks for sharing
Cool trick with the ashes
Ashes work. Running soft winter tires on bare pavement ware the tread out pretty quick.
Use kitty litter around the tires to help with the slippage I carry some in my hatchback
Always entertaining and has me 😅
Hey Jenna. You should shovel your snow around the skirting of the trailer it will stop the wind and keep your floor warmer.
2:43 Gotta love the smirk on Ramsey's face 🐱
