About OFF GRID with DOUG and Stacy
In 2010 we decided to sell everything and build a log cabin on 11 acres. We have lived in the log cabin for a decade now with no solar power or wind power plus zero public utilities. We live like the pioneers except in the 21st century. We post videos on social media to encourage people to return to the land and make a living with your family. We teach folks:
*Off grid living *Rain water catchment *Cooking with wood
*Food growing *Cooking from scratch *Raised bed gardening
*Food harvesting *fermenting the harvest *food preservation
*Holistic Remedies like Grandma made *How to make money and live this life
*storing food in a root cellar *DIY Build projects
*Animal Husbandry *Raising Chickens, Guinea, Turkeys and Ducks
All of our videos are made to empower you to break free and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!
Just a note
My grandmother and grandfather both grew up in cabins in West Virginia. He was 10 years older than her and found her as a teenager one when he was out hunting in the woods. Her father had thrown her out and she was barefoot and without a coat in the fall. He worked in the coal mines and they got married in 1935. He bought them a house kit from sears roebuck and a gasoline powered maytag washer. Their marriage was brief because he was killed in a roof fall in the winter of 41 when my mother was 3 years old. She worked at a local cafe and cleaned homes to make ends meet until my mother was born. She eventually bought the cafe and ran it until her 70s when she had a bad fall and was left in a wheel chair. My mother and my grandmother loved to harken back to those days and remind us kids how easy we have it. Now I'm doin the same with my grandkids. They cant fathom life before internet, much less riding a horse to town or doing laundry outside. They are good about helping feed the chickens,gathering eggs and hanging out our laundry though.
Here in Australia almost every backyard has a ‘Hills Hoist’ clothesline. Hanging washing out in the open air dries them for free but more importantly sunshine and the ultra violet light kills bacteria and virus, plus washing smells so very fresh and clean. Eucalyptus oil adds a lovely fragrance and is also an antiseptic.
I STILL make my laundry soap out of boiled bacon grease and lye from wood ashes, then use a cheese grater to make the granular soap from the soap cakes.
Why was a video about laundry so relaxing and satisfying?? The cats, the turkey, the sunshine and the swishing water… all the good vibes!! 😎 Loved it!
Greetings!😁. Thank you for this video! Good thing that some people held onto their old fashioned ways and things!😁. Some old Good ways never grow old or outdated! Washing clothes by hand in a bucket, sink or tub is something I used to do! Never been a lazy person in my life! Something needed to be done, I get it done! If it’s a winter snow blizzard or ice storm then I was out shoveling the snow to clear the way and removing off the drive way large tree limbs that fell! I had clothes lines out in the yard!😁. It is Good to be independent and have the know how to survive many things such as storms, droughts, Tyranny, invasion, etc.! The Good Book explains these times!😁. Revelations explains it very well! The LORD JESUS CHRIST is our Best Friend!😁. Always was and Always will be! May HE keep you, family and your followers all safe!💖
Yep I agree with everyone it is absolutely relaxing to watch the laundry being washed...but yes a little guilty because she is doing all of the work. Stacy just makes you want to live off grid!
My friend who is in her 90's wouldn't use a modern washer. So i brought her son a Lehmans catalog w/ wringer washer ,the old fashioned white one- He brought her a brand new one for christmas from Lehmans and had it shipped to them.
That was the one thing my mother regretted for years after getting an automatic washing machine, was giving up the ringer. She loved it so much, she spoke of it fondly for years after getting the new machine. And it is true, for whatever the reason, ringing out your own clothes has a zen sort of feel to it. I must say I loved it too as a child (I was careful!) Wonderful video as always, thank you.
Stacy you have the most amazing outlook in life that a person can possibly have. You are a blessing to watch, thanks for sharing Darrel
My grandma had a wringer washer when I was a kid and a wash tub on legs. Your little washer is so nice perfect for off grid.
I'm always fascinated how many Americans are so conditioned to use dryers.
A Speed Queen is what my mother had when I was a small girl growing up. Everyone had one of these in those days ... lol
I was about 11 years old, helping with laundry, wringer washer. My fingers went in with clothing. My Aunt was standing by and hit the bar in a panic. The rollers separated immediately. No harm done. I loved that way to do laundry and still do today. I want to find one if and when my automatic washer goes out.
I’m not off grid. But I love hanging my clothes outside. I purchased last year an umbrella clothesline . Installed myself, I absolutely love hanging outside. (75) brings back child hood memories. My clothes smell so good!
I have my grand mas old Speed Queen washer that still works! Remember learning how to wash clothes with her and have some wonderful memories that I would not change for anything. My grandma would even hang her clothes up on the clothes line too. It is work but well worth it.
I was standing in a puddle of water while using an older electric wringer washer and it shorted out… blew me completely off the platform after the shock traveled up my arm… adventures in homesteading…😆❤️ Nice to see you again Stacey! God bless!
Stacy that was a lovely laundry day for me brought back some memories for me too. When I was living in the Netherlands my washing machine broke and the electricity bill was quiet high. Having 5 children and then me and my husband included washing for 7 people by hand was something. I wish I had that Lemans washing machine that is just up my ally. I had to use two cement tubs one for washing one for rinsing and a plumbers plunger and I did that for 7 years. I enjoyed every minute of it and when I had my stroke believe me it helped me a lot in therapy and getting to use my arms again. If I could get that machine here in the UK I would do it again willingly. Thank you for sharing your lovely washing day with us.
I remember my grandma using a ringer washer. It was electric and I was afraid her or my mother would get their fingers caught in the rollers. I would then help them hang the laundry on the line. There is no smell that can compare to that fresh air smell in sheets and blankets dried outside. My daughter has transitioned to using soap nuts as she is trying to detox from chemicals in their environment. Thanks for sharing!
That SpeedQueen looks a lot like the one my Momma used until Daddy could afford an electric one. Her tub and wringer weren't electric though. I remember going out and "helping" her with laundry although at 3 or 4 years of age I'm not entirely sure if I was helping or if she just wanted me where she could keep her eye on me, lol.
