[@Graybeard_]

I lived in an 8' trailer for two years when I moved out into the woods to start building my house. There was no electricity, no running water, only a stream. This was in the early 1980s, so decades before cell phones and the internet. After my first winter washing up in the stream, sometimes with snow, I built a gravity shower from a 55 gallon steel drum laid sideways on 2 cinder blocks high by 2 blocks long. My first year going to the community college, I would get the shower set up the night before with two buckets of water siphoned in and a small bundle of kindling and sticks underneath. In the morning I would put coffee water on my Coleman stove then run out and start the fire under the drum, run back in make my cup of coffee and get back in my sleeping bag to drink my coffee. When the coffee was gone, the water in the drum was decently warm. I milled most of the lumber for that house and traded hours working at the mill for the lumber (also contributing some logs). Choosing this lifestyle is hard, full of hardships, setbacks and failures. It's important to remind ones self that this lifestyle is a conscious trade-off of paying rent or a mortgage and moving into a ready built home versus engaging in a years long struggle to do it a different way. Best of luck.

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

Key words, "Only a stream" that's all I would need. Where there is water there is life! It's amazing what you don't need. Water , Bed, coffee pot, coffee cup...we're good! Oh wait! Paperback books from thrift store...yeah, something to read!

I am truly impressed by Spencer's skills and knowledge of all kinds of tools. He is a very hardworking guy. If the entire world had as much skill as Spencer, our world would have better-built homes. I have been following everything he has done with his wife on all the projects they have posted on KZbin. Let's not even mention the word "cursed" - the world would benefit from your skills and gifts so that we can all become skilled in those areas. Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to, but there's a reason for it. We have to move on and learn from it. So, never give up and don't use the word "cursed".

We have an outdoor shower too. Love it. But… we shut it down once the temperature gets close to 40 so the pipes and the shower doesn’t break. Also, be prepared for mice to get into the hot water on demand. They build nests inside so we have to clear them out before each shower.

I also have to repeat what others saying, you are not cursed. As Forrest Gump answered when he was told that he stepped in doodoo, that doodoo happens. Well in life there are always ups and downs but we just keep on doing what we have too so we can accomplish our goals. By the way the good thing is that the tire did not deflate and you were able to level out the land and it looked overwhelmingly stupendous so all was not lost. Keeping you in my prayers that doodoo does not happen to you like it seemed to in this episode. You will be successful always even with hiccups. So until the next one be safe and prosper.

Having an inverter and battery in the shower area is just more trouble down the road from moisture and corrosion from chemicals. There are other tire repair methods, they make screw in tire plugs as well as gun puncture tire kits.

Well, we know when we live off grid things happen. It’s gonna all work out. Might be a little bit slower than plan, but it’s gonna work out in the showers. Looking really good. Just take a chill. Sit back have something to drink the beauty around you don’t let it get to you one day at a time.

You know that when you are doing anything away from town, with a tractor/equipment, things happen. For tire plugs on tractors, get some patch glue, put it on plug and in hole, let it set to tacky, put plug in. Burn off ends of plug so it melts into the tire. Welcome to farming.

Next time try this: Put a block of wood under your axle. Let the air out of the tire you want to plug. Plug it. After the plug sets up, reinflate the tire. What we used to have to do if our backhoe got a flat from a nail and we had to plug it. Because of that, we've gone to all tracks on everything we have now. Also, over the life of a piece of equipment, expect to pay out 10 to 20k for repairs and maintenance. Keep up the great work!
