Definitely need a phone even off grid..!! Great video filled with all kinds of things. Much better footing for the cabin. Nothing like a shower..!! You two have a wonderful week.
Dang, when it rains it pours sometimes! I hope all of your parents get well soon. My mom just went through chemo for cancer and is now out the other side. When I was down in Oregon with her, Tyler had to babysit the garden and he did pretty good. Nice that you got some projects knocked out. Having a shower is an amazing thing!
I’m so glad your mom is doing better. The big C sucks. Yeah our old tent shower bit the dust last fall, time for an upgrade. Hope you have a good week.
I hope and pray that both moms and dad are home and recovering soon. I’m so glad that you have a phone and satellite that works because it is a lifeline when you need it. Plus we get to see your videos and it’s the reason we all met the two of you and friends !! Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Glad you are on the mend. You are not alone on the garden situation, weather here is off so planting is behind schedule. I like videos like this, showing things that could have been better. It makes you a real person and not a TH-cam personality.
No matter where you live there's always something especially when you've been gone for two months recouperating. Hope the Mom's & Dad in the hospital are getting better and will be home soon. Blessings to you and the families. 😊🇺🇲
No signal where I am either.... Use wifi calling which is very vulnerable. Down in the harbor can't get the Coast Guard on 16 either...yes comms are a challenge
I have been an amateur radio operator since 1966 and that works very well!!! I know of ham nets in AK and help is out there that way! You should get licensed!
Thanks Brian, I'd say that you have too much on your plate and having a friend coming to help you is a big plus. I hope your Mom and your in-laws get better soon! And yes Stay safe and try to not over exert for self...
Thanks Brian, always fun to watch. Good to see you have your water system gathering water again, tough life without it. The climatologist say that global warming is causing more pollen the past few years - something to consider with your water collection system next spring.
Remove the stress and stop worrying about what random people post about your videos. Anyone that doesn't understand the need to communicate once in a while should be made to throw their cell phones away and have to cut off their internet & cable:) Keep making these great videos!!
Good video and I do agree even living Off Grid a person needs a means of communication with others. 😀 I just shake my head when I hear about some of the stupid comments and questions people have. I guess some people needs to be reminded that pigeons are no longer a reliable source of communication. 🤣🤣 Be safe. 👍. Hope all family members starts feeling better. 🙏
Thanks for the videos I Grow up on a homestead here in alaska back before we had cell phones. We were 10 miles off road. Had to be careful all the time no way to get help but to Walk out to the road.
Hi Brian. Good to see you today. Miss Diana and hope all is going well with her mom and dad. 🙏. You got a lot done today. Glad you are feeling better. Safe travels. See you next week. God bless. Happy Memorial Day to you. Thank you for your service. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️
I hope your parents are healing well and able to get home soon. Hopefully the weather cooperates and you guys get sufficient warmth for the garden to be bountiful. Stay safe. Thank you for your service and to the many who gave theirs lives to help keep us free! 💜
Glad to see you both are doing well. Hope the parents are healing well and of course, you need a phone, more so, living off grid with no close cotact. Enjoyed the video. You have learned so much having to be your own handyman. Virtual hugs to you and wife. Stay safe. Do you ever have snakes?
Great to see you again. A Bivy Stick or satellite phone is a must for us here, especially for when you are in a no cell service area, like where you live. There are plenty of instances where a satellite phone has saved a life in an emergency situation out in the bush, trail, or just traveling. There are long, long stretches of dead zones around here. Good health to you and the family!
Brian if you gave me the island, homestead and the new boat i would NOT get on that roof!! believe me you want to set up your mill rite the first time think it all out before hand the slab pile log placement the rollway and where the lumber will go if not you will have a hell of a mess set mine up wrong the first time still paying for that, comming along good way to go
Hi Brian. Sure wish you'd discuss the tools you use and why. Does a impact drill work the same as a regular drill? I made a raised bed, just put the wood in place, no nails, just a hammer to drive in good posts (spare wood I found). This is the second year and today, I planted sprawlers, like melon and watermelon. Wish I could learn how to use the tools you use and why. Need some lessons. lol. TH-cam University provides. Thanks for including the viewers. I'm encouraged to try new construction. I made a huge "no dig two years ago.
Hey Charlene, I learned most of what I do off of youtube 😂 I love driving in screws with an impact driver but mine broke. It’s back to the old school ways with only a drill. Your project sounds awesome and good luck with future ones.
Our land line system sucks. Might take 5 days plus to get repaired when ot is down. What do ya do if ya need 911. I got rid of it and went with Verizon cell. Very dependable
Sorry to hear of all the medical issues with your family. Living off grid does not mean being out of touch with family or essential resources. No ribar in the pad? Hmmmm... Great job on projects. Stay safe and Happy Memorial day!
It is ridiculous you have to explain why you NEED reliable communication, transportation, and medication ! Yes you choose to live off grid but not in the dark ages! You give us a gift of seeing what you are doing . That seems to some to mean they get to back seat quarterback your lives! I bet many comments are helpful and encouraging but once a project is completed why tell you how you did it wrong ( in their opinion? ) Thanks for sharing all you do!
IMHO - Typical "Off Grid" living has nothing to do with a lack of communication. That would be an extra layer if someone (a nut job...lol) really really wanted to go the extra mile and cut themselves off from humanity. Just like most things in life, there are varying degrees. From one Veteran to another on this fine Memorial Day 2023, much respect for you and everyone who served and gave some... But especially for those of us who gave it all.
👍👍up from millet 🇨🇦. Keep the faith and your chin up. Try to stay safe. ✌
Having a phone is crucial no matter where you live.
You got that right
Happy Memorial Day Home of the Free Because of the Brave
Yes indeed
Hi Brian and Diane a phone is a must have
Sorry about you family members. Praying all goes well. Yes, having a way to communicate is very important especially out in the middle of nowhere.
Thank you.
Definitely need a phone even off grid..!!
Great video filled with all kinds of things. Much better footing for the cabin. Nothing like a shower..!!
You two have a wonderful week.
Thanks Ron hope you have a great week too.
Thanks best of luck. ✌🏻👊🏼

7:15 we get comments like that too. People don’t stop and think of emergencies or the need to communicate with families/friends.
Exactly
You have made Diana A very happy wife. She is going to love, love the shower and of course, you will enjoy it too!
She will definitely be surprised.
Life throws plenty of curve balls. Staying in contact with friends and family definitely improves the quality of life
I would have a cell phone possibly a sat phone
Thank you for your service!!!❤
Thank you
Diane is going to be happy for that shower! I am sure you are too. I hope everyone feels better soon.
Thank you Jewels

Good Morning. Praying for your whole Family. Amen Love watching your videos.
Thank you

Feeling much better now. I’ll be planting seeds this week. Can’t wait to get them in the ground. Good luck with yours as well.
No matter where you live there's always something especially when you've been gone for two months recouperating. Hope the Mom's & Dad in the hospital are getting better and will be home soon.
Blessings to you and the families. 😊🇺🇲
Thank you Patricia. Everyone is home now and recovering.
Good to see you back at it Brian. Hoping all the family members get well soon. Best wishes, Deb
Hey Deb, I’m thankful that I’m able to still knock at some projects.
Grate video as always! Hope everyone gets better soon.
Thanks Scott
No signal where I am either.... Use wifi calling which is very vulnerable. Down in the harbor can't get the Coast Guard on 16 either...yes comms are a challenge
You know the deal. It’s funny that most cabins in SE have VHF radios in them.
I have been an amateur radio operator since 1966 and that works very well!!! I know of ham nets in AK and help is out there that way! You should get licensed!
Thanks for the video as it was very informative. Y'all stay safe. ✌️🙏🇺🇲

Thank you Frederick
Hey when you go to town put Google talk on your cellphone then you don't have to have a cell signal because you have internet from your internets wifi
👍 nice
Hi Brian , you have a very good drama free program , I look forward to your Sunday posts , sending positive vibes to you and Diana .
Thank you so much Robert.
Thanks Brian, always fun to watch. Good to see you have your water system gathering water again, tough life without it. The climatologist say that global warming is causing more pollen the past few years - something to consider with your water collection system next spring.
Thanks for the info
New showers looking good. Sounds like we have a project to get done.😁
Yes sir👍

PS, if they don't understand that you need satellite to upload your videos, they aren't very smart...
True😂
You're getting it done!! I hope the Moms are doing better! Have a great Memorial weekend and stay safe!!
Thank you Sue

Crude but nice.
Always something to do around your yard.
Ha always
That's too bad about all the family health issues all at once. Good luck with the garden and good luck with your honey do list. Safe travels buddy.
Thanks Jay
Praying for all families! I love the video
Thank you
The pads are not thick enough for the weight of the addition they should be 5”1/2 at least with some rebar in the form
Hopefully it will buy us some more time at least.
Great video Brian! I’m sure your wifey will love the shower! Have a great day!
She will because I’m loving the shower
Stay safe .Nice Video.

You nailed it.
" What do you need a phone for if you live off gird "...yup even sounds stupid when I say it !!
The guy might be a little short on his down line... 😂
😂😂😂
wisdom put the saw mill in its permanent location youll thank me later
👍
No bugs cool
Brian if you gave me the island, homestead and the new boat i would NOT get on that roof!! believe me you want to set up your mill rite the first time think it all out before hand the slab pile log placement the rollway and where the lumber will go if not you will have a hell of a mess set mine up wrong the first time still paying for that, comming along good way to go
Ha I hear you. Maybe the temp will just become the permanent spot
You shouldn't have to explain to anyone my god there's some numpties about envy is a terrible thing take care
Crooked deck blocks under 4x4 posts with no bracing and arnt even attached to the building...I'm surprised this place hasn't fallen down.
Crazy, right!?

It would be stupid to not have communication period
You would think every one would know that. Apparently not 😂
Sorry to hear of all the medical issues with your family. Living off grid does not mean being out of touch with family or essential resources. No ribar in the pad? Hmmmm... Great job on projects. Stay safe and Happy Memorial day!
Thank you. We hope everyone gets better soon.
Will you put your vegetables in jars? Tomato sauce, jam, etc?
We don’t get a lot to can. We do freeze things liken beans and peas.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead I don't know your diet but did you know you can make desserts with beans? If you have too much of it I mean. :)
The list is getting smaller. :)
Right 👍

Git er dun!
Yeah buddy
Bro get you a plum to find center in footing
Yes I do
Simple ...phones are essential, and accidents happen
So true
Idiotic isn't the word for it
Not being rude but those Tomatoes are not the only thing growing in that Hot house .who’s a happy Brian
