Careful of the words you use, they are powerful. The hose doesn’t cause cancer, you are blessed and covered in prayer 🙏!!!! Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way: “The tongue has the power of life and death.” The stakes are high. Your words can either speak life, or your words can speak death. Our tongues can build others up, or they can tear them down. I’m learning this daily guys! Love the channel
I have a GREAT idea. Since the exhaust is so SAFE.... please feel free to stick your head on top of it for 2 minutes and breath all the air. You WILL be fine right? Dont rely on tech to keep you safe. If you need to ask the question then VENT it outside PLEASE. After 20years working in a "safe" asbestos mine people eventual said ops not safe but they thought the same thing as you do in the back of your mind. I can come for free and do the work you supply the pipe.
We fill all our cisterns from rain water that comes off our roof. Works much easier than hauling it. Use water filters and uv light to purify it. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
I laughed so hard when I saw your trailer with the 275 gallon tote, hooked up to a 3rd gen 4Runner. I’m off grid and haul my water in a 275 gallon tote on a utility trailer towed behind my 3rd gen 4Runner!
In india we put water storage tank on a high platform & water comes to house by gravity,their is no need of pump again & again,hence we store the water at higher level.
FYI - Suggest you look at getting 1 or 2 of the Zero G hoses from Walmart. They are drinking water approved and you have no problem rolling and unrolling them. They are black in color and feel like a fabric versus vinyl. They are very lightweight too. We used to have a couple of those white hoses and we now use the Zero G in our 5th Wheel RV with no problem.
Nice tour of your water system. It appears there are a lot of projects ahead. You have plans to already change the house interior. Look forward to hearing more. Stay warm.
I have been one of your followers since the first day of building your beautiful home .. I appreciate you and love your beautiful family. May God bless you
Thank you for sharing. Gives me hope. Like how your tank is below ground and doesn't freeze. I have something similar. Have to go to family to use number 2 and take shower
A nice white blanket. Its warm below the frostline.....relatively. Spaghetti hose Lol, prostrate problems Y'all keep in shape. That crawl hole is going to get old later. Nice system. I love that water filter. I have to fill it every other day. A great simple system. Good video.
Awesome video, thank you. When you showed the view of the forest and lake in the background I KNEW you were in North Idaho. My wife and I have land 30 minutes east of Coeur d Alene where we intend to retire. We got an estimate of 28K to drill a well so we decided that we will install a water tank and haul from the public source 9 miles away. I searched TH-cam for "best water tanks for areas that freeze", and there you were. Now I'm going to watch your well drilling videos to see what happened. Hope to see you in noridaho...Geoff and Lynn
You have great taste,I used on demand hot water heater ,for five years with no problem,the only thing was my son and his wife came to visit I needed help couldn't get him out of the shower,,we sold the place and it's still working as of last year,
Very informative for those who require info on the water systems at off grid properties. Yes a complete tour would be fantastic, especially for people such as my wife and I who are looking into this great style of living. Cheers guys.
i have watched a ton of these kind of video's with ether boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife and your wife looks and act's very happy all of the others i watched act but you can see there just putting on a show thanks to the both you
Hello first time watching. To make life a little easy when empting your water supply tank on the trailer to your holding black tank. Add a air valve to the fill cap, to the water supply tank to pressurize the tank with compress air. Do not over pressurize the tank, watch and see how fast it empties
Thanks for sharing your life. As most people pointed out.. if i was your son.. i would not like to have the water heater in my bedroom, I think you will not forgive yourself if soemthing happens.. love your channel and would be great to have a full tour. Peace and best reagrds from the Netherlands.
A lot of people venting in one form or another would like to say lovely to see you all with a smile on your faces refreshing! Yes would like to see the full tour when the time is convenient to do so thank you, Patrick O' Flaherty it is 3 minutes past midday here you snoring in your beds me typing on my computer. Any chance 4K? Lunchtime soon. Keep on rocking and smiling 💚❤
I'm going to be living off-grid pretty soon. I'm excited and a little scared too. I have never been 100% off-grid. Once upon a time I killed my breakers and used solar to power my lights, propane to cook with but I've never been without instant access to water. That's going to be a challenge but if I didn't think I could overcome it then I wouldn't be doing this. I'm a scientist. I built a nuclear fusion reactor (not self sustaining). If it was self sustaining then finding the off switch in a malfunction would be difficult. I've built some weird stuff. This step could be my chance to explore my creativity to the fullest extent. But still, failure is always a possibility..
Nice Video, thanks. I'm setting up the cabin I bought as well as the addition now to be free of any and all utility companies by the end of this coming summer.
Thanks for the tour, I now have the raw land and will be starting my off grid adventure soon, setting up potable water is one of my first considerations.
My family and I pressurized the transport tank to speed up the transfer being carefull not to rupture it. Later we bought a inline 12volt pump frome harbor freight sped things up alot. I miss living offgrid and in Idaho.
Hi guys I just watched your video on drilling for water. We are roughly in the same position as you are. We are just starting. We're on the opposite side of the world to you same weather conditions. Across the way there well is at 54 m We have been told that we might have to drill to 100 m. I hope I truly hope I do not have the trouble that you had drilling for water. Because finances a bit tight at the moment. But again thank you for your video It's great information for us As we're starting down the same road a little bit further away from you 👍 All the best Russell
(talking to all of you at once) Love the videos! You folks have a super awesome family! This is one of my favorite you-tube channels... Suggestion?. When you make a re-cap or "tour" video... try to add links to the original videos in your series. I found my self fumbling through your vids this morning looking for the origins of this tour... to re-watch. Happy new year!! Hope to be watching you all long into the future!
Solar thermal is a fun way to make hot water as you can run it fully off sunlight with the collector array and a solar panel to run the pump. The evacuated tube setup is best in a place with snow as it is much harder for large amounts of snow to build up on a round pipe then on a large flat panel.
Dear Johnson family, you should make a short ladder to get down into the basement + hinges for the lid, to prevent possible future accidents when you get older.
Maybe you could build a crude wooden box of the right size, and drop it into the crawlspace, so that when it is time to come back out of the crawlspace, you can use it as a step to get out?
You seem to be a happy family on a great adventure. Idaho is beautiful. I want to find your adventures in Tennessee next. I'm just getting caught up but if you are going to be there much in the winter you might think about insulating the floors above the crawl space. Though heat rises you must be "spending" a lot of your heating budget to keep all that area warm. You would then need to worry about your water pump freezing but maybe you could build a wall around round it and heat a much smaller space.
Yes, I'd like to see a complete cabin tour. Seeing that you appear to have 2 teenagers, how long does 2500 gallons last y'all? What is the average winter low temps where you're at? I'm moving to the Kenai Peninsula area of Alaska in the next year or so. From what I'm tracking of weather data so far, it seems that zero is about as cold as it gets there during the winters (2 winters worth of data so far). There may be 4 or 5 days over the entire winter where it gets below zero. I'm interesting in doing something very similar to what you've created so any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
love your videos just wondering if you should be using stronger straps on that much weight in the trailer, that tote holds 275 gallons if im correct and thats 2295 pounds of water alone for those dinky traps. Be safe Guys and keep the great videos coming :)
I wish I had a way to share a photo or two. I copied your wood rack design (with a slight alteration) for the house; and a smallr version for my cabin in TN. Both turned out awesome. I used cabinet grade maple (from a salvage place).
Another great video. I thought you had a floating heater in the water tank to melt top surface of ice? Looking good J. Mad climbing skills. LOL. Thanks for sharing
Flushes toilet...goes to refill tank! LOL Great place. I live part time about 50 miles from sandpoint in Montana. I use many of the same techniques as you. I would say, try rain water collection and use a carbon and doulton ceramic filters...good to go, no well. (I do have a well but my cabin is rain water. Hot showers with instant heater... Great site here!
Just ran across your page and when you were filling up the water tank I thought wow that looks like Coeur d Alene and sure enough I look and you guys are from north Idaho!
I wouldn't mind a full tour of the cabin, looks like you guys have made a ton of progress! . I know you haven't had any problems with the water heater _yet_, but at LEAST relocating it to the laundry/utility room should really be on your short list of projects. Preferably with a vent to the outside. . We use a Big Berkey filter for our drinking and cooking water. We had a Berkey Lite and replaced it after the plastic cracked. The only "complaint" is the expense of replacing the filters once a year.
In the video they explain that this water heater is the original outdoor water heater that they used when they were living in tents during the building process and that they are going to be upgrading to a proper indoor water heater and they will be relocating the water heater at that time. Everything cost money and they are prioritizing where/when money is spent.
Of course it's not frozen; your temp gauge said it was 35 degrees. Let's see if it freezes when the temp hit -20 for three days. Still appreciate the video. Thanks. Note: I have a 1500 gallon tank with the top cut off, buried 4.5 feet for my Goldfish. And only the top inch will freeze when it gets to -10 for one day. I just push down on a 2x3 foot floating plastic solar blanket to break the ice. The extra 1.5 foot deeper does make a big difference. Good luck.
+chas marischen sure the top or our tank freezes a couple of inches when is gets super cold but it doesn’t effect its performance. Water is taken from the bottom of the tank.
Great Job on the Videos you've done.. Quick side note on the tank less water heater.. It would be well worth your time to add to the hot water side coming from the tank a stainless steel flex pipe.. ( add between the tank and the Pex Pipe) this will dissipate the heat from the tank less hot water heater, and avoid the possibility of future problems.. Pex will work.. but the heat could cause deterioration of the integrity of the pex pipe over time.. better safe than sorry... Kepp up the great work..
Great video you guys. I have a well, but just an FYI, we have a fairly high water table in some areas around Sandpoint. We put in a Sandpoint well at my neighbors. Works great for them. Not sure what your water table is at but just a thought. God bless
My town has fill stations that would fill that tank in like 3 minutes versus an hour, worth the few dollars. Also, gravity fed...a sump pump works so much faster. Interesting none the less.
collecting rain water is what we do up in Northern British Columbia. Run it past a water purifier (UV Light) and done. Don't drink it but good for all other water needs. What is the cast iron train thing on the stove?
Great stuff thanks. And you guys have a great energy, btw. . . prolly all that livin' free! :) Greetings from an expat fellow off-grid-er in the beautiful west of Ireland!

You need to vent the hot water heater btw
It will cause issues if you don't I believe

And stiff hoses really are a pain in mid-winter, Vermont.
One of the best step by step videos on how off grid water works start to finish. Thanks for sharing!
Take some scrap lumber and build a couple of steps so and your SO can easily step into the crawl space and easily get back up.
In india we put water storage tank on a high platform & water comes to house by gravity,their is no need of pump again & again,hence we store the water at higher level.

I am in my sixties and have drank out of a green water hose all my life and I am still living and with no cancer.
I have too but the hoses we get are palatable type hose, there is hoses that's contains bad elements like lead and chemicals.
Hose water is so good. Kind of nostalgic lol kids now wouldn't understand.
Nice tour of your water system. It appears there are a lot of projects ahead. You have plans to already change the house interior. Look forward to hearing more.
Stay warm.
Thanks. Yes, more videos to come! 😊
I have been one of your followers since the first day of building your beautiful home .. I appreciate you and love your beautiful family. May God bless you

Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Gives me hope. Like how your tank is below ground and doesn't freeze. I have something similar. Have to go to family to use number 2 and take shower
Salam from Baturaden , jawa tengah , Pak martin....👍👍👍👍
A nice white blanket.
Its warm below the frostline.....relatively.
Spaghetti hose
Lol, prostrate problems
Y'all keep in shape. That crawl hole is going to get old later.
Nice system.
I love that water filter. I have to fill it every other day. A great simple system.

I think we said it was temporary. but maybe we forgot to say it.
The aerial overview is a great way to see where you are loosing all the heat in your house. Your roof leaks quite a bit of warmth!
it is a 9-12 pitch. snow slides easy. the garage is only 6-12.
I was reminded to vote yes on the full cabin tour offer. LOL. Thank you again

You might look at Zero-G water hoses. Much more flexible compared to your white and green hose and they are approved for drinking water.
I didnt hurt me my years or drinking out the hose pipe
@@Oink09 You ever hear of something called “survivor bias”?
@@loganc6818 no
We would love to see a full tour. Secretly we have been taking notes for a while. We are loving your journey so far, and we love Idaho.
Yes please for the cabin tour.
That's a great way of living especially with a beautiful outdoorsy wife.
Yes I would love to see how everything looks....you guys

Awesome!
Greetings keep up the great job... make a hill next to the water tank so you can back the trailer next to the water tank... no green hose :)
As kids that green hose was all there was back them and we all drank from them. Still here.
Wow another amazing super great video info and analysis from absolutely the best channel on TH-cam. Great job .thank you
If you ever search for the correct way to wind up cables, that method also applies to house pipe too and keeps it tangle free 👍🏼
Maybe you could build a crude wooden box of the right size, and drop it into the crawlspace, so that when it is time to come back out of the crawlspace, you can use it as a step to get out?
Hello my friends I congratulate you as a very beautiful, wonderful and creative family I wish you a happy life.🖐️🖐️🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍👍

Could you make a video to show details about your water filter system?
You seem to be a happy family on a great adventure. Idaho is beautiful. I want to find your adventures in Tennessee next.

I'm new, I'd love to see the cabin! And a walk through of the apartment, too.
Glad to hear that the gas water heater temporarily venting indoors is not an issue.

Think that is true in AZ. 🤢
Yes! I've been really curious about the cabin!
Just ran across your page and when you were filling up the water tank I thought wow that looks like Coeur d Alene and sure enough I look and you guys are from north Idaho!
Great video! Good to harvest rainwater as well if possible.
Love your channel! Yes, would love a full tour! Just keep doing what you are doing with your projects! See you next time!
Sure. Give us the complete cabin tour.
4:40 "prostate problem", pak martin so funny 😂
I wouldn't mind a full tour of the cabin, looks like you guys have made a ton of progress!
.
I know you haven't had any problems with the water heater _yet_, but at LEAST relocating it to the laundry/utility room should really be on your short list of projects. Preferably with a vent to the outside.
.
We use a Big Berkey filter for our drinking and cooking water. We had a Berkey Lite and replaced it after the plastic cracked. The only "complaint" is the expense of replacing the filters once a year.
In the video they explain that this water heater is the original outdoor water heater that they used when they were living in tents during the building process and that they are going to be upgrading to a proper indoor water heater and they will be relocating the water heater at that time.
Everything cost money and they are prioritizing where/when money is spent.
Of course it's not frozen; your temp gauge said it was 35 degrees. Let's see if it freezes when the temp hit -20 for three days. Still appreciate the video. Thanks.
Note: I have a 1500 gallon tank with the top cut off, buried 4.5 feet for my Goldfish. And only the top inch will freeze when it gets to -10 for one day. I just push down on a 2x3 foot floating plastic solar blanket to break the ice. The extra 1.5 foot deeper does make a big difference. Good luck.
+chas marischen sure the top or our tank freezes a couple of inches when is gets super cold but it doesn’t effect its performance. Water is taken from the bottom of the tank.
I enjoyed the water tour but it wasn’t funny. LOL. Thanks for posting. Yes I would enjoy a tour.
Everything is set up really great God Bless
A full tour would be awesome.
You guys are lucky to have a supply of free water available.
Always keep water 💧 hoses inside a heated house 🏠, in the winter (72°F).
If you have a fire 🔥 you can use the water 💧 hoses.
Have you ever thought of making a rain catchment system. To avoid going into town getting water. Then transferring from one tank to another???
That's what i was wondering....
We have a water fill station in Athol. Huge hose, fills or tank fast.
Yes ,cabin tour 🎉
Great Job on the Videos you've done.. Quick side note on the tank less water heater.. It would be well worth your time to add to the hot water side coming from the tank a stainless steel flex pipe.. ( add between the tank and the Pex Pipe) this will dissipate the heat from the tank less hot water heater, and avoid the possibility of future problems.. Pex will work.. but the heat could cause deterioration of the integrity of the pex pipe over time.. better safe than sorry... Kepp up the great work..
Friends in Australia have 6 tanks each holds about 28,000 liters, all of it roof gathered water.
wow, super life! a wonderful world! a good thought!

Idea! Put a stool in the crawl space for petter egress. Also a place to escape and smoke cigars.
Very nice well have seen when you built it all poor old Ses being in the room the noise would wake him up i thought that was Sara's room before ?

cool. it is a humidifier
