Of all the snow shoveling, wood chopping, egg cracking, cat porn off-grid channels on TH-cam this is the absolutely the best!!! You rock!😂
Haha thank you for the laugh 😅🤣
😅😅😅😅😅
It's good to see you and ALL the critters are staying safe and warm..Mr Squirrel makes for cheap entertainment as he teases your cats.Bit unnerving for you no doubt! It is really inspiring how you keep at the chores that keep you busy..but free.May your woodpile last until spring!!!
Thank you 🙂
My chihuahua was being barked at by a juicy fricasseeing squirrel this morning, poor puppy seemed confused!
It's good to see you NEVER disquieted by snowstorms nor solar panels. Self assuredness is a great thing to see in people, you didn't get yours by being lazy.
As horizontal as that panel is, I'm surprised you get any electricity at all from it. As far north as you are the panel should be almost vertical. As a bonus a vertical panel gathers no snow/leaves/dirt... and the sun reflects off the snow onto the panel, which provides extra energy.
"straight into that bacon grease".... YEEESS!! 🙂
I'm laughing so hard! My black cat used to do the same thing to stuffed animals. My Chihuahua would run to me screaming because the cat "borrowed" his teddy bear.
🤣😂😆
Glad you are staying warm. 48 years in Michigan and Ohio. Sick of snow. Now 27 years in FL & enjoying the heat.
Can't blame ya there! 🌞🌡
Kids…. Never open the door without knocking first….. trust me. Okay, bare with me…. Out, oot, awet, auet, outte, eaut, I’ve tried 100 times and I cannot for the life of me say Out the way ya’ll do. That’s the one word that gets me every time. I love it. I’m going to practice some more.
😅🤣😂
@@gypsyjenna hahahaha, it’s more like a oot, but with a hint of ut. I still working on it. 😉
Glad to hear that you are safe. A couple of weeks ago or so my wife was gone to Las Vagas. We received a dumping of 12+ inches of snow coupled with -10 to -15 degree (Fahrenheit) temperatures and 25+ mph winds. I was alone to try and clear this out and I know what you went through. I had three foot drifts. It is WORK! I also live fairly rural and have to drive 20+ miles to work. The same week our boiler quit working (We have hot water heat), and I was to my wits end. I finally figured out the problem with the boiler and got it running again. Power also went out for extended periods of time, so the pump for the boiler wouldn't run. I shoveled out the driveway and only missed one day of work. Years ago I installed a vent-less propane heater in my living room upstairs. This unit was an absolute life saver in this situation for myself and my dog!
Hope your luck turns around soon!
"The Sun is Ouuuwt". Not sure how you spell that but I like the way you say it! 🤣🤣
It's a Canadian thing 🤷♀️🤣
More o's less u's!
@@gypsyjenna It's cool by me! Funny though we do have folks here in the southern US and near the coast that pronounce it the same way. Not Canada transplants either.
she said " heat right in the middle where i want it, and bringing some wood" in the same sentence... im digging her already
I'm not sure where to put tips and suggestions, so I'll just add a few here if that's okay with you:
You were wondering why switching off the breaker in your power panel didn't switch off the overhead light. You have 2 power supply systems. One is 12 volts and the other is 120 volts. The circuit breaker is for 120 volts. The blade type fuses are for 12 volts. The overhead light is 12 volts.
Thanks for the info!
This is a good time to have a good hobby like embroidery crochet knitting. Listen to an audible story while you sew.
I just love your videos!!! You have such a wonderful personality 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼. Have a great weekend ❤.
Hey Jenna just love your sense of humor. Your videos and kitty cats are great. 😂
Hello .I know what it's like I got snowed in for two weeks . just take care and be safe .I really do enjoy your videos they are great.will be waiting for the next one 😊
I heard that people would spray cooking spray on the dish antenna 📡 so that snow wouldn't stick 🤔 not sure how well it works, but it sounds legit. 😂
I'm living in a camper too, not as cozy as your home. I know the struggle of having solar power issues and the snow.😅 I live in Grizzly flats California
I don't have a carport or garage. I drape a tarp over my windshield that is held by my doors. Makes for easy get up and go on snowy days.
Thanks for sharing.. Your one brave Lady !!!
My wife and I will be pulling our travel trailer to our new property in the mountains in north central Washington here in the next couple of weeks. We are still in the process of getting power and water and septic in before we get there but I’ll be filming the whole process for my channel as well, thanks for making such good content!
Thats wonderful. Be Happy Be Free Be Blessed.
Have to check out your channel...it will be interesting.
@@hddoug72 do it for sure and share with your friends and family. New video drops tomorrow 🌲✌🏻
Nice...we have property between Tonasket and Republic. Had a well already...installed power last summer...but I could have lived without it myself...pole building going up in April.....the down side...it's still in communist WA
@@jugeebean totally. Beautiful country though! Keep up the great work you’re doing! Stay safe out there!👍🏼
Hang in there, spring is a coming!
Why, 4 seasons and snow is good
Thanks for the smiles !!!
Hi Jenna, Ramsey and Rory 👋🏻 Ugh, snow... we're supposed to get some Tuesday 🤷🏻♂️🙄 You should get a roof rake, and a snow pusher shovel, would make things easier my friend 👍🏻Stay safe and take care my friends 🙏🏻 God Bless
Appreciate you!
Good book reading weather! Take care jenna
You are an inspiration !
Thank you 🙏
U go girl!❤
I’ve seen show in my city 3 times in my life and that was enough for me, I don’t know who you do it but big ups to you chick
Stay safe and warm enjoy the weather!!
Definitely make sure to put your eggshells in your compost! You need a good mix of greens and browns and eggshells are one of the best browns!
I'm all snowed in here in NorthEastern California and I just started up my wood stove. The cost to heat a home in Ca California is insane. Some people have to go to warming centers because they can't afford heat here. Thanks for all the great videos, if I was forty years younger I would ask you out on a date. You are great looking and you love to fish!! We would get along great Ha Ha!!!!
Snowbound Jenna . Nice warm cabin fever days. The adventure continues on the catio.
Love your channel!
I just found your channel. I'm so glad I did. I live like this in central Oregon.
Hey gypsy lady I smile when I seen your video popped up on my iPad. Thank you for this video.😊
I love your content! It’s inspirational and humorous, and those cats are funny to watch. You’d think they would at least carry in some wood every so often! Thanks for sharing your days & God bless you!
Thank you for the video Jenna. You reminded me I need to get a pair of taller boots before our next snow. Snow is one thing but blowing snow with drifts is not good. Better to stay home than chance it. Take care.
Hi Jenna must be frustrating with all the snow here in jersey sun hardly out but cold heater never shuts off in mobile home and squirrels do lot of damage here even chewed hole in gas tank on lawnmower really love you videos dear so stay safe and warm
This is my first time seeing you. I think it’s awesome. I would love to learn to live more off grid like you thank you for sharing.
I love spring time!❤
Same lol
Winter stinks can't wait for spring.
Just, "Wow!" You are Tuff Enuff! I do like that scrambled egg's and veggies breakfast, think I might try that. I understand the "cabin fever" syndrome from my earlier days. A difficult situation, even more so for the folks up at Cape Breton. I've been keeping up with the news from C.B. and one thing that worried me was the elderly single residents who were waiting on someone to come and feed them. Other than that, they couldn't get out of their homes. I hope they are all found safe. Some may even run out of their medications before help arrives. So, the bright spot is that you can get out and walk around a little. Does Walmart or the grocer have delivery service? Then again, I'm sure you would jump at the chance to go shopping. Hang in there, Jenna, Spring is only six weeks away!
Rob and Layla
Yes, and poor Cape Breton is calling for more snow next week! 😢😢😢
Thanks Rob and Layla!
Those eggs looked tasty. Stay warm!
You need your ham lic and little rig for days like that, just a idea that’s what I do to pass time on bad days, stay warm and safe, it’s a balmy 70 deg today with 40-50 mph gusts with snow Sunday! Here in the Ozarks Sw Mo
Great breakfast! You are doing well nice and warm inside with terrific wood heat !
At least you have snow, I think we’ve gotten around 4” so far this year in my neck of woods here in NE Ohio. We even had to cancel our snowmobile trip to Michigans UP on 2/17, strange winter for us. Supposed to be 60 F today.
Always enjoyable catching your latest episode. I still say you will see March 1st arrive and have a stick or 3 of wood left. Have a great week Jenna.
Love your cats,they have character!
Stay safe n warm. Loves ya videos
I love the eggs going into the bacon grease, I make just like that too. Unfortunately I don't get to eat it as often as I'd like 😢. Keep warm by the 🔥.
I have been lucky in southern Indiana we have had beautiful weather into the 50’s and 60’s been out on the Harley for about 10 days in a row. Keep up the great videos!
Enjoy those Harley rides! 🏍
There you go again cooking them good meals ,I have to cook outdoors my county is on a ant hill ,Great video spring is on its way. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
If a squirrel is getting inside your trailer so is a lot of cold air. And possibly rats or mice. You don't want them for house guests especially if they begin building a nest. You should have a small active hobby to go to when you feel too house-bound, something which needs at least a little movement; that will help keep the wintertime blues away. There's bunches of things you can do on the cheap. I'm quite a bit 'hermit' by nature but even I don't like being cooped up for more than several days in a row, and I have some hobbies (other than internet browsing) to go to when I'm tired of looking at the screen. Books are good if I don't feel like being active which happens more at my age than it used to!
Should the budget allow, you might find a 4m collapsible painter's pole handy- the threads are the same as most brooms etc. That will make panel clearing easier and safer, and collapsed it's 2m which makes it handy for many other things. Get a thick one, the thin ones are only good for painting. Not much snow ever where I live, but one trick I did learn is that you want the drive wheels of your car to first go over where your car kept the snow at bay; ie FWD car you first reverse half a car length then go forward with a little momentum as you'll have traction. Clear a bit behind the car first. Guessing you've got 3 weeks of wood left so next year add more; a pile on the ground covered with a tarp to be used first then on to what's in the shed. Winter ain't forever even when it feels like it is so hang in there!
You know what,, my cat never helps load firewood either 😃,,, cool spot , I'm in the woods surviving another winter also,,,,spring will be here soon !
I think what your doing is TEALLY AMAZING AND AWESOME GIRL😊
On your onboard water tank you can drill a small hole at the desired water level line, run a small hose from there through the outer wall (below the level line). Turn on the fill valve. When water comes out of the hose the tank is full. Shut off the fill valve. You may want to place a bucket under the hose so you don't lose any water.
Hi Jenna. Snow looks fun out there from here. You can have it! 🤭 when it’s cold 🥶 stay warm even if one gets a little “cabin fever”. Breakfast looked like brunch to me. 🍽️ so where’s the hot ☕️ coffee or tea? Maybe your cat needs a furry friend to hang out with? Go sledding or even better winter fishing 🎣 sometime! ✌️
Hi Jenna,
First off, I am sorry I complained about that little arctic blast we had last month. I see your struggle is still real. We only have had one shoveling snow fall this winter. Today it got up to about 17c. Warmest day of the new year so far. The bad news is, I have seen the rest of this months forecast and it is supposed to get bad again the second half of this month. Oh well, not much can be done about it. That was a nice breakfast you made for yourself. I scramble my eggs in the bacon grease too.Your wood pile is getting smaller, I hope it gets warmer so you can stretch it out. I hope your diesel heater is still in working order and you can get to the store to get diesel when you need it.
Rory seemed to take a liking to your stuffed toy, I wonder what other shenanigans he and Ramsey get into while you're out. Maybe time to set up a few spy cams, LOL. I am happy you saved the octopus from the stove, it can be washed right up.
Is that guy on the tractor a neighbor or does the town hire him to clean the roads? He's been busy, that's for sure. Let's hope you don't see him anymore this season, well, at least not plowing snow! Think spring! It's coming, I promise. It always does.
Take care and stay safe, Steve.
Wowzers! I would be StevefromOhio1978! Small world sir! I just happened to be browsing and saw your comment. Well, Anyways...Shout out from Toledo!!
Holy Shiznik Gypsy Jenna! That place looks beautiful! I live in northwest Ohio and it looks and feels like spring outside here. Im not ready for winter to go bye-bye😢. Anywho, great video as always! That omelet was impressive. It sounds like your driveway isnt the only thing getting plowed out there! 🐙 Lol. Sorry. Im kind of dirty. Have a wonderdul weekend and please keep putting out these great videos!!
I had my cat princess fix yesterday no babies and she is doing fine I am doing the same thing wanting to keep it in the white so far I have went through a almost 2cords of wood and winter is not over yet and I am in west Virginia and I love the woods thanks for the video
Mr. Squirrel says “ you messed up my house…I’m going to move into your house 🤣” I’m thinking that roasted squirrel 🐿️ may be on the menu if he doesn’t take it down the road 🤙🏻. Take care of yourself, another awesome video
I am sooooo glad our snow and freezing temperatures are gone and 60F degrees today. Snow is beautiful but not a big fan of single diget temperatures.
Tough to go outside when all you see is snow , bummer I live in Florida and don't like cold weather or snow . I really enjoy your channel
Enjoy that warm weather! ☺️
Glad to see you weathered the storm OK. We got about 2.5 feet here, with drifts around 4 feet.
Woke up Sat AM to the snow being drifted over the door of my RV and had the joy of digging myself a trench out to move around. Was worried my regulator was going to freeze because it was caked in ice, but it ran like a trooper through the entire storm.
Personally...I'd buy a new Octopus and let Rory have the other one! ;)
You guys stay safe and looking forward to your next vid.
Stay warm and safe and thank you!
I get snowed in too (in Arizona!) and I am absolutely stealing your phrase “shack whacky.” I’m so depressed now but I know it’s situational so am just hanging on by my fingertips. Thanks for your content, it’s really helpful!
Better and warmer days ahead! 🌞
Please keep strong 💪 and don't give up and God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Hi Jenna here we go again, slippery and blowing around here in porters lake, take care were your at...!!! Can't wait for summer 😅
Same here! Just around the corner! 😃
@@gypsyjenna I can't wait !! Too moe the lawn... LoL, frig it's building here, take care !!
Mow....LoL.
Thanks for the update. Now, I'm cold and it is a sunny 52 F here, or 11 C for the smarter folks to the north.
BALMY 🌡
@@gypsyjenna I occasionally comment on TH-cam videos but rarely get a response. Thanks for responding. I like the connection.
@sahoyte you're welcome!
Your lucky not to have the snow as I’m sure you know others got down your way. Nothing left here now in barrie Ontario.
Good Morning Jenna another great show delicious breakfast stay warm
Johno Darwin NT 🍺
32 degrees here today and 96% humidity
Phewwww! 🌡🌞
You need a snow blower. :-) Hope the squirrel doesn't chew anything vital. Breakfast did look really good. Thanks for sharing.
wondered how u would be when I saw the forecast for east coast. Here is a bit crazy supposed to be 12 degrees cel. tomorrow
Wind power it appears would be nice and thank goodness you r in a tree shelter. If you get to town maybe a 24 for the holdout future. nice to see you and the gang are well. "Keep on Cooglin"
Thanks for the video! Keep on keepin' on! I see you are in Chester area. I'm in Windsor area. This past snow storm really frigged me up. I missed work and a doctor appointment because of if. I'm glad you got out and about. I'm getting my second hip replaced on March 21!! WOOHOO!:) I'll have 2 x titanium bionic hips then! :) Cheers
Good luck with your surgery!
Thank you!@@gypsyjenna
Wow does it ever stop snowing? 😂Your cats are cool 👍
Oh wow all that snow! Never been in or seen snow in reality i know it can be dangerous and alot of shovelin but it looks beautiful just found your channel 🥶🤍❄️ from Australia 🦘 North only two seasons.
Something that might fix a bunch of issues. There is a type of wood stove called a catalytic stove. They get these super long burn times and use less wood. downside is they are expensive, but used ones a cheap.
One way I find safe for cutting kindling, is place the axe head onto the piece of wood, then all at once strike it (picking up the piece of wood and everything with your hand). That way you are not playing russian roulette with your fingers. The head will bite into the wood, and you can then just pick up the axe and the piece of wood and strike it again with your hands away. Give it a try.
A propane regulator has a flexible disk inside. On one side of the disk is the regulating mechanism. On other side is a dome shaped chamber with a small hole. This hole allows air to move in and out as the disk moves.
If this hole gets blocked (by ice, dirt etc.) the disk cannot move and the flame will do strange things like lighting and then fading. When you have regulator problems in cold weather the first thing to do is get out your hair dryer and warm the regulator to melt the ice... or bring it indoors to warm up.

Hey, just stumbled upon your channel! You are living my dream life. 😌✌️✨️
Shack Whacky! Lol! That's a term I understand far too well! Even your fur babies are feeling it and your octopus may never be the same 😬I hope things have improved for you weather wise. It sucks being a babysitter to the wood stove and not being able to see fellow humans 💞
Yes it sure does, that's why I get so excited for summer, more freedom! 😄
Stay warm there!
Stay safe out there! The snow is very beautiful for sure. You make such good videos and it’s always fun to watch your content. XPLRNW
Yup we got that 150 plus more 3 days later we are in cape breton
😅 lol that's a good one your cat and the octopus I'm sure you could use some
Thank god
You got off easy, here in Pictou County we got between 100 and 150cm's down. My car is completely buried and I am just gonna wait for the thaw. lol
Yes PC was the second hardest place hit! Dang, hopefully your car melts through the snow with all the sun we are gonna get these next 2 weeks lol
77 blue skies today. I’m sending you a few degrees 😃be safe👊🏼I give you tons of credit Jenna, you are nails! I see a 4x4 truck in your future 😁
I’m freezing just watching this. 😂
I'm definitely hooked to your channel beautiful woman off grid living braving and the extreme Eastern Snow Cold Storms
Got to about 72 here in Kentucky today 😊
Every day I learn something new - today it was "shack wacky" - this words made laugh -- being an old merchant mariner i can tell you that we have a comparable "wording" for a similar feeling. But you are a Lady, and i am an old Gentleman -- and the expression is quite colorful - so it is a no no on YT. Have a very good day!
I have never been around that much snow. Did I say I would go crazy real crazy crazy crazy.
Hi.
Why dont you build a front porch so at least you can open your door and keep the warm air in and keep your boots in and more wood.
I love watching your videos and think your amazing lady.
Stay safe
I have thought about an enclosed porch for sure
Wow Jenna ! You might have to get yourself a skidoo :) Yes i like snow but i feel for those got more than 30cm in one shot, here we are use to lots around for 6 months of the year, it's just another day :) but to some, enough already"
Love your videos ,,
Hi Jenna...I'm in Cape Breton ( Sydney) and boy oh boy we got pounded...varying reports are 150.5 cms and some places are showing 155.5 cms
Oh my goodness, I hope you're not buried, that's wild! Stay safe!
Hi Jenna, maybe a heat tape would work for your propane tanks under the cover to help with the controller from freezing.
new to your channel love the content
♥️♥️♥️♥️love from London England x
We didn't get a winter for nothing in upstate, NY.
You are the best snow relocation service person I know, good job. Should I give you the nick name of Chef Jenna for making that tasty breakfast and other meals you put together? Staying home it that weather is the best. Stay warm and safe and have a wonderful day.
Thank you and I don't deserve the Chef title! Haha. I'm just a "Foodie" lol
Wow that,s a lot of snow Jenna you dont have to go to the gym. Did you not get the hint when Rory was sitting in front of his bowl 😂 I know you did not. That breakfast looked so good 5 Star.
