This little structure was so well thought out and constructed, and I love that I serves multi purposes! Your food supplies, canned goods and jars, etc are nicely organized. It's like eye candy for the stomach :) Just curious if you also use the root cellar to keep your root crops as well.
@ADifferentKindofQuiet2 күн бұрын
That is the goal. Last year was such a bad garden year I didn’t have many root veggies to store. I already had plans to can them into different things. Now that we have the moisture under control I hope to try some carrots and beets down there. I also have a LOT of cabbage this year so we’ll see how that goes. Thanks for watching! 😊

Yes we have. We considered a few options but came across a really good deal on a rustic pine log futon. It made a huge difference in the space and easily converts to the bed.

This is almost exactly our setup at our remote off grid cabin. The only difference is we went with a gas refrigerator. We do not live at the cabin and it is left unused for months at a time, especially in the dead of winter. We all 12v except, like you, our well pump. We rarely use the inverter and, like you, turn it off when not needed. It is refreshing to see someone else do a 12v living system. The big push nowadays seems to be you have to go 48v with a huge inverter and all AC electrical system. We do fine with 12v appliances, lights, pumps etc. We really see no need to go all AC which would involve more and larger solar panels, more battery capacity, bigger charge controllers and a huge inverter. I just don't see the need to do that. Thanks for the video which legitimized our system.

We haven’t suffered at all keeping everything at 12V and are very comfortable. We did upgrade our inverter to a 3000 watt but other than that we have no plans to change. Thanks for watching! 😊

Technically, all water is hot, a heater just makes it warmer. I kicked out my propane water heater years ago when I went to PV electric tank. My shower is still plumbed backwards as the hot went to propane and cold went to PV water heater. That gave me two options for hot water. Never reverted back to propane after installing electric. With propane gone that got plumbed to cold. I designed a controller which diverts any excess PV power directly to heat water efficiently. it can divert 5W to 1,000W, whatever is excess at the time. And it is all free. Never had to buy more solar panels. People don't realize how much solar power they just throw away. I went thru a lot of propane tanks before this.

We cant do root cellars and basements in Texas. Hiding preps is going to be a big problem for people, the old cellar trap doors are easy to find and pilfer, bugging out to another location wont be a possibility. About the only thing you can do is be very good at hiding caches on your property and have the ability to hide yourself. Folks that think they will be able to just hang out on their property with people seeing them living just fine watch too much movies. The older I get the more I'm leaning towards getting an ocean worthy boat and taking my chances outside the us
