It's Getting Cold! | Solo Off-Grid Life

[@christineb8148]

What a treat to hear that loon!!!! You finally get to join the winter fun! ;-) I think tis funny - I'm from the US southeast and have live in the northeast for many years; my relatives seem to think where I am and north is the uninhabitable frozen tundra. I laugh and think "there is a whole country north of us and parts are even warmer than where I am! I hope you stay cozy!

[@AmandaOffGrid]

I love hearing the loons. Whenever I do I always stop what I'm doing so I can hear more - haha! Yes, it's funny how people in the south seem to think it's always cold in the north :)!

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

Amanda’s such a treat for the soul . Her voice and ways , you can see her beautiful light beaming out of those gorgeous eyes too Blessings to her and peach and all

[@lonanakken1688]

You gals stay warm and happy up there! Fun to get a little snow once in awhile on the coast!

[@SnorttheNorth]

So enjoyable to watch...thank you for your peacefulness.

[@ladeanlombardi8638]

Nice having another dog hey? Love watching you, one tough girl! I am 76 & I can see & understand the peace & quiet!😊

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Hi! Yes, Peach IS a good girl. I am glad to have her here with me 😊. It took me a long time to truly appreciate peace and quiet. I really do love it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@aknudsen93]

I don't like to bring up politics but I am so sorry about the tarrifs. I have a good friend who lives in Toronto. Canada will always be our neighbor to the north no matter what. I hope it doesn't cause too many problems. Peach is such a sweetie! Stay warm up north!🥰

[@AmandaOffGrid]

thank you! don’t worry about bringing it up. it’s affecting everyone, so we’re all in this together! thx for watching!! 🧡

[@hoborobprospecting]

Lots to do prepping to stay warm and safe from freezing water!

[@AmandaOffGrid]

yes! all our wood prepping is done in the summer thank goodness. There's some minor chopping in the winter, but not much :)! The water lines on this property are deep underground so that helps!

[@vicki8261]

I hope you & Peach are staying warm! I'm in the deep south and we had 4-8 inches of snow in this area about 2 weeks ago with temps down in the teens. This almost never happens here, so all of the kids in the area were having a blast making snowmen and playing in the snow! I was content to stay inside! The loon sounded pretty. I'm glad your neighbors invited you to go to town. It's always nice going somewhere different and getting to see different scenery! Take care and bundle up!

[@AmandaOffGrid]

we are staying warm. we’re prepared for this cold. it must be tough for you as you weren’t expecting the cold! stay warm!

[@santino9279]

Hi Amanda. I look forward to seeing your videos, as they remind me when I use to live off grid on Hummingbird Island years ago. Enjoy the week with Peach. She is a beauty.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Hi! Peach says thank you for watching 😊😊🧡

[@livin_life_321]

You're so fortunate to hear loons this time of year. We won't hear them again until maybe June here. They are very soothing, we love them. Take care Amanda!

[@davemagrel3349]

so peacful and delightful.....thank you for coming into my home!

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Thank you for having us :)!

Seems like everyone is getting some snow, you and peach have a good week!

[@shellyreker8789]

Hi Amanda. That last scene on the dock with the snow and greenery and you and Peach was great. A screenshot of that would be nice wallpaper. May want to think about coveralls. They give you room and stay up. There are some cute ones out there. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

i do have some carhartt overalls somewhere, but i may not fit them anymore 😆.

[@shellyreker8789]

You seemed to have lost a bit of weight. I don’t remember seeing you pulling up your pants as much in past. Perhaps, you may be able to get into them. 😊 that is always a good thing.

[@dfuss2756]

[@trishwilson7517]

I love the haunting sound of a loon too! Being in Calgary, I hardly ever get to hear it.

Don't forget to drain the Shower "Stand-Pipe". (The pipe in the wall that goes up to the Shower Head) Also Dish-Washers, Washing Machines Etc. ... Don't overlook any forgotten P-traps. (under house?) I like to blow-Out all of the pipes with an "AIR" Compressor !!! Stay Warm; richard

[@laurahunter1690]

Beautiful scenery there. I love it !

[@sarahcooper3378]

Stay warm! Much the same activities here. Our water is still running, so fingers 🤞 the wind doesn't freeze everything up. We had about 6 inches of snow last night and down to -8, but not as cold as predicted.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

my fingers are crossed for you!! you’ve definitely gotten colder than here, but apparently that’s coming tomorrow. stay warm!! ❄️

Just found your videos. So peaceful and quiet. You have a lovely life. Keep warm.

[@glendanorman781]

I don't like the cold snowy weather, maybe once a lifetime maybe lol! Here in California, we've had really awful wild fires, it has really burnt so much already! Hopefully the rain we had recently has helped. I thought it would be easier to have baggy pants to wear because you move alot and need to comfortable. Great video!

[@AmandaOffGrid]

I like snow as long as I have somewhere warm to duck into when it gets too much. Luckily snow here is pretty rare. I predict it will be gone in a few day :). I was so glad to read that the fires are finally out!!

[@suezaple4950]

Hi Amanda nice to see you again our Loons will be back around June in Ontario , Nice to hear about your surprise pkg that came , Not looking forward to the tariffs unfortunately it will effect the cost on both sides of the boarder and all involved . Always good to hear from you and see Peach , Take Care . Ontario Canada .

[@DallasLemieux]

Nice to see you and Peach 🙏🥰🇨🇦

[@johninalaska9563]

Hi Amanda and Peaches, always nice watching a video from you. You pay a lot for eggs. In the store here, I pay $3.99 for a dozen and farm fresh eggs go from $5 to $7 for a dozen. This whole Tariff thing is going to be a pain. Glad you two are doing fine. Thanks for sharing

[@AmandaOffGrid]

ooooh real farm fresh eggs are so good. that’s a great price!!

[@dawncrawford6806]

I like your Hat Amanda , you have a lot of different ones they are your trademark and suit you!

haha. i love wearing hats 😊. most of my toques i’ve crocheted myself so i have a large collection 😊.

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

I pray this channel becomes sooooo huge and popular and Wmanda and peach make so much money and never have to think about money again :)

So very beautiful and peaceful, my prayers for your health and well being go out for you! Did you ever get to sail your sailboat this past summer?

[@AmandaOffGrid]

No, Peach wasn't ready for the boat life yet. She's more used to the ocean now. Maybe this summer. We'll see :)

[@jacksg1809]

I miss my farm fresh eggs @ $7.00 for 18 😞. The sun on the trees is beautiful. Hiii Peach 💗

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Oh wow! that’s a great deal for eggs!!

[@user-fd4uw4yd6y]

Amanda, I just LOVE your videos. I am an American who would love to live/move to Canada but alas LOL! Living off grid is also a dream of mine. You and Peach stay safe :)

[@griffin2263]

guess it would be a ton of extra work to keep chickens ? between attracting wolves and being eaten by the mink ..it would add to your work load

[@AmandaOffGrid]

i’d be happy to take care of chickens, but ultimately it would be the owner’s decision whether or not to get them. it would be tough to protect them from the wolves and yes, the minks too. those minks get into everything!!

[@Hillarybray]

Beautiful spot!

[@davidlum]

Cold here in Ontario too! I laughed out loud at your comment about finding pants that fit. I am cursed with having short, stubby legs and no butt! Have always found pants with wide enough hips but too long legs. Thanks for the peaceful videos, a calming salve for these talks of tariffs down south....

[@angelayoung1595]

We are care takers at Sullivan Bay on North Broughton’s and got a huge dump of snow 14”. This must have been just prior. Love watching your videos👍

Hi Amanda! Is that a Farrier F-27 trimaran on the trailer by the shed? None of my business, but I love that sailboat. I used to crew on one years ago. So fast and so fun! Your eggs cost about as much as the last dozen I bought in California.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

i’m not sure but it is a trimaran of some sort 😊. the owner pulled it out of the water last week.

[@bobmonztr]

A huge improvement in weather this Jan, 20c warmer and 140 hours of sun, last Jan -33C 10 hours of sun, -20C next week, finally get to test the improvements.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

woah! that’s cold. glad you’re warmer this year!

Just a little info about farm fresh eggs from the store or free range eggs from the store they can free range in like a 4 by 4 area and column free range or farm fresh unless you're getting them from a farm you can never know what you're really getting I so my eggs of course are not land right now for $6 a dozen and yes they're way better you gotta watch what you get from the stores cause the information from the stores is not always true

[@milliewilkie1969]

I was wondering when you would get some snow there

Amanda,Today being Groundhog Day Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter. According to the NOAA website he’s only been right 30% of the time in the last 10 years. Let’s hope he’s wrong this year. Just in case I’ve got my KIS hoodie sweatshirt to help me stay warm❤️ May need to get another one to be double warm! You stay warm😘😘

[@Eddie_Murphy1965]

Can I ask, what is RV fluid?

[@suezaple4950]

You run it through the pipes so they don't freeze , You use it in recreational vehicles so pipes don't freeze and in cottages .

[@suezaple4950]

RV antifreeze is a non-toxic fluid used to prevent water from freezing in an RV's plumbing system. It's often pink in color. It is then flushed out of the lines when the freezing temps are gone

[@Eddie_Murphy1965]

@@suezaple4950 ah I see, thankyou for clarifying.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

antifreeze, but it’s safe to use in plumbing (specifically RV plumbing). it’s also non-toxic.

[@Eddie_Murphy1965]

@AmandaOffGrid I see yes, I haven't heard of it before, Eddie.

How cold does it get there normally? No wonder why u live there soooo peaceful!!!

Try sewing some wide elastic on the inside of the waitband. Pull/stretch the elastic out while sewing it onto the band.. Or you could wear a belt. 😂😂 ​@AmandaOffGrid

[@ianPedlar]

How do you get water if you've drained all the tanks?

[@AmandaOffGrid]

I have filled up seven 5-gallon jugs and that will last me awhile. Worst case, if the weather doesn't warm up I will run the well pump for an hour, fill my jugs again and then drain it immediately.

[@ianPedlar]

@@AmandaOffGrid ah clever :) for those who don't know when water freezes it expands and if it does that in a copper pipe it will split the pipe, not good!

Hello Amanda! I really like your video, very well done, peaceful...I feel we have a lot in commun. Girl alone with a sailboat, leaving in a cabin in Canada...This research of peace, freedom and loneliness. So...I like your video. I have a question! What you will do with your sailboat? Let in the water for winter? I put mine on a cradle. I am in the Great Lake, Georgian Bay.

Hi!! My boat stays in the water. There are no haulout facilities up here unfortunately. But it's salt water so it never freezes :).

Hi Amanda, I was wondering if you have a tick problem for peaches? With all the trees, I thought you might. I still love watching you and her and your beautiful surroundings.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

so far she has avoided tics!! in the summer i’m always checking her.

[@jouman450]

Do you sail?

[@dadejazzba402]

What do you do with the dog poop?

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Peach insists on always pooping on the lowest tide line. The only time she doesn’t is when the wolves are around. She marks her territory. Her poop (and other dogs) is gathered for the garbage and/or burned if we have a big bonfire happening.

[@truthjustice8510]

Safety: Good show. Great music. Good wood chopping. However, I would not hold the kinding wood with your left hand while you chop. Sooner or later the blade will not go where you think it will go. You absolutely do not want your hand or fingers anywhere near when that happens. Your safety is paramount and wood chopping, spitting, cutting, sawing, etc. is inherently dangerous. Be well.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

it’s fine. the axes in the wood shed are very very dull. they cannot cut the skin. they are kept dull on purpose. i have hit my hand once (in 3 years) and got a bit of a bruise. there are many sharp axes and hatchets on the property that i wouldn’t consider using for kindling. it’s all good.

Hoping the tariffs don’t create hardships on you and the rest of our Canadian friends. I’m not a political person but haven’t seen a reasonable argument for them against Canada. You don’t treat neighbors like that. Sorry. Continue to enjoy your channel, you and peach. Keep em coming.

If you like eggs, why do you not get a couple of chickens? At least you get two eggs a day

it’s really up to the owners, but the wolves would eat those chickens so fast. the minks would also be a big problem. i think if they do get chickens it would be a full time job keeping them safe.
