    Nothing better than finding a Gypsy Jenna adventure on Saturday morning on TH-cam (I've graduated from the Road Runner/Coyote cartoons) while I have my coffee. I hope the ratio of time spent fishing to time spent doing laundry is more even than the time spent on each in this video. Lol! I realize you were doing this video for your "off the grid" fans and I'm sure they are grateful. Maybe the next video will have more fishing adventures in it. I can only hope.

      Thanks I do really love fishing, but the filming part is difficult when there are long periods between bites and catches. I will try to incorporate more fishing clips as unfortunately our season feels like it is soon coming to a close

    Hi Jenna, I have a machine very similar. I have running water, but for you to conserve water use your rinse water as the next load wash water. Just take your clothes out of the wash side after rising and put them right into the spin side. The spin runs at 1700 or 1750 rpms. I would also suggest on the first washing, placing the soap in the bottom then add your clothes and then add the water.

    I've had mine for about 3 years now. I set it in the shower use shower hose to fill and it drains into shower floor. It's not a dryer but it spins great 2- 3 mins at best.

    I hate, I mean hate laundry mats. I live in town two blocks from one. If my washer or dryer broke down, I’d rather do it by hand than spend hours in those places. Loading up your laundry and detergent and bleach, lugging it all to the vehicle, into the mat, back home. Not to mention the $ cost.
    Now going to my brother’s house is a different story. His wife is a fabulous cook and loves to feed everyone. I could do laundry there every week no problem.

    Be careful with your washer outside, even when it's completely drained, there is still a bit in around the pump. (I learned from experience, but I got to scrub my floor.) And with cold weather coming don't want to see it freeze on you.

    I have a very similar unit that I use for small loads throughout the week. I LOVE it, only downside is that the spin dryer does nothing for lint. Still love it and would recommend it to anyone in an apartment without washer/dryer hookups. I run mine in the bathtub. And agree that the spin dryer is pretty damn awesome for drying quickly. Doesn’t use much power and takes about 30-35 minutes per load.

    • @gypsyjenna
      @gypsyjenna  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I use the floating lint catchers and besides the fact I have 4 hair creatures in with me, they do work well. If you just type "floating lint catcher" into ebay they pop right up.

    If you want to move your panel, you have probably seen the SAE extension cables for your solar set up...Just make sure if you do buy one it comes with the reverser plug, as those SAE cables reverse the polarity if you plug one cable into another... I could never figure out why my panel wasn't charging my battery on my generator...Thanks for the video.
