ALONE & OFF GRID | First Snow Storm & Almost Out Of Wood - Ep. 70

[@deesgardeningjourney1163]

I admire the hard work and progress you both have made together. This channel is also definitely one of my favorites for various positive reasons, on so many levels.

[@rickhuffman2635]

It's great to see how the two of you have learned to work together like a well oiled machine on every task. Fun to watch you grow as a couple.

[@timcolby1876]

Love what you both are doing. I lived like you for 12 years, I so miss it. No electricity, no running water, an out house and wood stove. I had 2 showers. One inside that drained off to the outside and I built an outside shower house. I had a water tower 225 gallons gravity running water to my shower house. Great in summer, I hunted and had a garden, canned ... It's work but a wonderful lifestyle. I lived alone.... Blessings

[@bevtrue6937]

Whyever did you quit that awesome sounding life??

[@kathiepilotte6743]

I want that and alone i don't mind. I won't stop cause I'm alone. I'll get dogs.

[@biancacantu7386]

I love y'alls little dance brakes as y'all are working. Your videos are very inspirational to me.

[@jcbaily5559]

It is truly fascinating to watch how you prepare everything that you build and cook, you make it look so simple yet the man power you exert must really wear you out....thanks for sharing your life with us!

[@strawberries1411]

Almost one year...amazing progress... so wonderful to see how you're living the life..not just survive. Can't wait to see the start of the garden and see it produce and how it will differ from your longevity garden. Happy New Year..

[@annebriggs4946]

We just love watching you as you build this wonderful life together! You make us feel young again! Best wishes to you both for the new year and thank you for sharing your amazing adventure!

The sound of the a heavy drop of rain, each meeting the top of the Yurt for the first time, is a soothing encounter to hear

[@gregpine6432]

Watching you take the bark off of those logs reminds me of how old I am getting. You should prop them up higher so that you won’t be bending over so much. Your back will appreciate it. You can even sit on the log to draw knife them when they are propped up high. Just a little advice from someone who has peeled a LOT of logs. Thanks for the videos, I think you are inspiring a lot of people.

[@charmainelawless9934]

The pups r growing so fast and they r so so cute and well behaved. Good job on the training

[@vincentalaimo7527]

I loved Nicole’s rain dance during a rain in the rain forest lol Folly is 🔑

[@jamesnichols9753]

Good job in bad weather but I know you have to before the real bad storms come. Be careful and take care and strength to carry the load.

[@joycegrahamGoodLifeWellness]

Thanks for the first Snow vlog. Fun to see you guys loving the life and making great progress.

[@roald48]

At 7:11 in the video, your rain dance was very effective and long-lasting.

[@DriedMoss]

Jack & Nicole Your home is more together than most and far from the grid, pups look happy, and the organic food is better than the processed food I just consumed. I am going to change that part of my diet right now. No more of the processed foods. I am going to regret not having the time to join you two and help in person. Have a great week!

[@TedRoza]

Great job you are both doing. What about making a quick canopy over your fire area when you char the base of the wood, + you will have a portable shelter between the rain .. snow etc. or even extend the new roof over the wood pile to cover the fire area, because you will need it for many more seasons.

[@darlenedouglas5148]

Really enjoyed watching the video! Sorry to hear about Matt! I know that he was such a great asset with his help doing a some of that heavy lifting and there when another set of hands were needed! Congratulations on Being certified with WOOF ! It's going to be a great experience for you guys as well as the newcomers! I for one will be anxiously waiting for the updates on the sorting, choosing etc! Awesome video!!

[@thekid830]

great video, love watching! cats and dogs are AWESOME! I envy your drive and commitment. Keep Posting and watch each others backs...

[@DriedMoss]

Never again will I look outside at the rain and not feel like there isn't work that can still be done. Thanks for the motivation!

[@russellmorgan9518]

LOCK DOWN! Here in the UK ....... Many thanks for these videos will make my 12 weeks easier ! stay safe chaps x

[@craigmcdonald4737]

hey guys just a thought but if you have piles of bark shavings chop them up spread them at your walk ways like before your steps it should create a less muddy area save all that beautiful porch from getting too muddy while you are working!

[@janetgray719]

Can you imagine how much snow that rain would of been if it had been colder.? Your place has been coming along nicely.

[@joannalim3553]

Love you guys. Love the dehydration racks you made to dry your herbs. Brilliant!

[@kooldude744]

Although I hate cold weather and rain but love for wood work is at another level.

[@tatesweetbrown522]

I love those dogs they're friggin awesome! And THANK YOU for turning your saw right side up on your Mill, it was triggering my OCD lol

[@ambieberns5198]

My dog is so locked in on your Channel, she is always watching. Love what you guys are doing.

[@tomstack6871]

after about six months of that weather,I would be commiting hari-kari with a butter knife.But you guys are doing an awesome job!!

[@CCCfeinman55]

Bravo! Soldiering on with needful projects in the rain/snow. It doesn’t look like your water supply will suffer much....after all, it is a rainforest... Nicole, that red stoneware soup tureen(?) is beautiful! I wonder if you would share it’s source, as I would like to get one in perhaps forest green for my wife. She makes the best soups on the planet and I happen to love soup above most other meals. I enjoy seeing you two working together and watching your skill set expanding and your skills refining to craftsman levels as you continue to pursue your dream. Never mind the cold. My friends in Nebraska are getting 100-year blizzards (once in a hundred years) and have had temperatures to -20 and even -30 degrees C this winter. We live in the Northwest, at low altitude, so have only had scant snow this winter and quite a bit of rain. We took a cruise (old people sometimes do that) to Alaska two years ago in September. Circumstances (a big storm) forced the captain to change the itinerary, putting us into Victoria, BC for a full day, instead of the originally planned4 hours. It rained most of the time, but we took a bike tour that was really fascinating and learned about the rainforest in Western BC. Magical! I love how you guys make use of everything you can, even the bark from debarking logs for kindling and tinder. I will never be able to live off grid for any meaningful length of time, so do it somewhat vicariously through you two and a couple in Brazil refitting a sailboat (Duca and Roberta, Odd Life Crafting).They have also been building a container home on a family farm where they can live between trips to various spots around the globe. Like you, they enjoy beauty wherever and whenever they find it. Their climate is a tad bit less temperate than you’d, but...like you, are making the best of it. I hope you will, years from now and looking back, have enjoyed every moment of your journey. I hope these accomplishments will strengthen you two and prepare you for your next adventure into the greater world. Be safe, be happy, be kind, be truthful, and be grateful....for all these are gifts of a life well lived.

[@MsSheilaC]

your comment read like a letter and was lovely

[@BUD100ify]

I had basic training at Ft. Lewis, November-February...that weather looks very familiar...we saw the sun, once in 8 weeks. Awesome pups.

[@paulpetro652]

Living off the grid is a one day at a time just like any other addiction (obsession). Lol ❗ Only this is a good obsession. It's amazing what you both have accomplished. Health & Happiness will guide you throughout 2020 journey & beyond❗😊🤗💓 From your friend Paulie P in the "D"

[@georgedemean2228]

Good job Jake...You're finally learning how to do it right and peel the bark from the logs 👍 love the videos and the amazing transformation 👏Happy New Year and Best Wishes ❄️

Wish I was young enough to live like this. Also wish I knew more about gardening.

Just recently found your channel but have binge watched most episodes. The progress you've both made with the yurt and your homestead is remarkable. Keep up the good work!

[@billsmith8238]

I love your chanel your pioneering spirit & how you take care of each other & the pets I wish the videos were longer just saying

[@tamaranorrish8173]

Looking so great! I really appreciate all your hard work and the work the videos take. I always look forward to seeing the new vids, showing the awesome beauty in the area and your progress. Cheers

[@davidcarr7547]

Hi Jake and Nicole . just a idea looking at the wet floor in your entrance ,you should cut the timber floor back a bit and lay some tiles to save the floor from getting too damaged . Love your home looks great .

[@jimbrewer1404]

MAN YOU GUYS GET A LOT OF RAIN MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU GUYS ,I AM FROM NOVA SCOTIA CANADA WE A LOT OF SNOW YOU GUYS ARE A LONG WAYS UP IN THERE ,GREAT VIDEO YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT LOVE THEM DOGS GOD BLESS.

I really enjoy your videos and love everything that you are accomplishing together. Really looking forward to when you start growing your food in the Spring. 😊

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Always a treat to watch your videos. You inspire many and help others with there dreams. You give hope to the ones looking to do what you are doing. You show the romantic side and hard work of going off grid. You give so much to so many.. Keep it up Jake and Nicole, two cats and two dogs.

[@kathiepilotte6743]

Love how it feels like I'm there with you on the water. I would give anything to live with you and learn how to garden, it is why i will be following everything you guys do. I have arthritis and BPPV and I want to try and learn to eat healthier and minimize my amount of medications and go towards natural as much as possible. It will take me time to get there, but the more I watch you guys you inspire me. Keep up the good work you guys are doing!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@sshebb]

You guys are magical! I wish i could learn more about gardening in the Spring. I'm a Chef and a graphic designer.

[@katesisco]

We built a drive under basement home. in WI using licensed contractors and ourselves. We used one wall of the basement garage for a week's wood storage; the wood furnace was next to the gas furnace right thru the door to the basement from the garage. Guess what? So convenient and well built we were run off and the house confiscated.

[@ChrisBogle]

Compared to other places in the world, the largest & best natural resource we have here in Canada is FRESH WATER!!! BTW that was not a snowstorm. Lots of rain & a little wet snow.😁

[@alisharobinson7841]

Rainy and mild today here in S.C., enjoyed the slo mo video, the soundtrack, and seeing the progress. 😊

[@stan100853]

Jake & Nicole, My wife and I love you guys. Be good in all you do.

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Question - when is the medal roofing coming in ? After you get it up are you maybe going to use tarps on the side's, roll up when weather is nice ( not raining) and roll down when raining ? That would help keep your porch dry. You 2 have done a LOT of work. Your home is looking great. Stay safe and warm.

[@erik365365365]

Love the continuous use of logs for beams! You save so much time not milling them and they look a great. I am concerned about the logs used for the main porch that still have Bark on them. To much risk of rot

[@cynthiahoffman8683]

The rain sounds wonderful. If we remotely have just 24 hours of the consistent amount of rain that is going on where you are at right now. Our State, even though we need and Love it. We would be in a State of an Emergency. That is the way it goes. 😄❤

master jake get a small propane cylinder and hook up a propane torch or rose bud torch to burn the end of the wood its faster and less stress

[@loafsandfishes5066]

I live in the inland maritime PNW just like you and also heat exclusively with wood. I sure hope you've got 3-4 cords of seasoned wood chopped somewhere b/c the coldest part of winter has just begun and its not going to noticeably warm up (or dry out ) for at least 4 months, maybe more..
