In this video we install a new solar battery bank in the off the grid cabin. We build a battery bank using 4 6v golf cart batteries, but because these batteries are flooded lead acid we need to vent the hydrogen gas. So I built a sealed plywood battery box and installed a vent to the outside. This allowed us to keep these batteries inside because they would get ruined in the harsh climate, and also allowed us to use flooded lead acid which are far cheaper than some of the other kinds of batteries. We then also set up our charge controller and battery in the workshop so now we got solar power working over there as well.

I live off the land in a self reliant and self sufficient lifestyle. The land provides me with everything I need. My offgrid cabin is solar powered, heated by a wood stove and most everything I eat comes from the land; fish, eggs from my chickens, and many different wild game species. The lifestyle I live is essentially expense free and blesses me with the opportunity to do whatever I please.
In the winter months we head out on the trapline and ethically harvest fur bearing animals. Through moderate and sustainable methods I snare and trap these animals and work on, and sell the pelts at auction which provides a decent income for me to invest in my off the grid homestead and lifestyle.
