Hi! We're Nick and Jen, a retired military veteran of 14 years and professional dancer/entertainer at Coyote Ugly Bar. Together, we decided to sell everything and break free of the glitz, glam and chaos of city life to move off gird. We live on our 20 acres of remote land in the mountains of Southern Utah.
We’re trying to be as self sufficient as possible by installing all our own utilities and doing everything DIY with as much modern technology as can make happen. Living off grid is about the freedom to build our own path one plank at a time. Life, indeed, is Elevated Off Grid. Come along and see what life is like as we continue to build our property and adventure around Southern Utah's mountains.

I would recommend changing the oil in your generator at least once a year, even if you have only put low hours on it, the additives in the oil breakdown over time, and it is cheap insurance to keep your engine happy and healthy :) If you have never changed it yet in 3 years, I would highly recommend doing it now, to get that break in oil out and some fresh stuff in there. Love your channel!

[@sammierobinson9226]

Loved the music today. I wanted to tell you what we did to keep from losing our chickens to wild critters. The first couple of times we tried to have some here, Racoons got them. Then we put timers on the doors to their coops where they roost at night. The timers close the door after they go in to roost at dusk and keeps the door closed until just before sun up when the chickens are ready to come out for the day. After we did this, no deaths from critters. This might work for you guys as well.

Glad your getting ready for Winter, it’s so sad for those hit by the Hurricane our hearts go out to them. Larry is got to be the worlds best friend, could see the surprise on your face when you went for water the first time. That’s something a lot of folk to learn here in the UK, I’m 76 but always help those in need. See you soon love to you all. xxxx ❤️💙❤️💙

Hello beautiful family it’s been a while. You are one of my favorites. Don’t stay away so long, please😊

[@CountrysideLife01]

I would strongly recommend changing the oil in your generator at least once a year, even if you've only put a few hours on it. The additives in the oil break down over time, and a simple oil change is such a small price to pay to keep your engine running smoothly and reliably. 😊 If you haven’t changed it in the past three years, now is definitely the time! Getting that old break-in oil out and some fresh new oil in will help ensure your generator stays in tip-top shape for years to come. It’s just a little effort for a lot of peace of mind!

[@angiereinecke9608]

We are Florida Tuff down here!!! Come on and enjoy our beaches 😊 We'll have this mess cleaned up in no time. Thank you for those beautiful drone shots! The birds were so cool.

[@Kristina_Australia]

Thanks for sharing your day, appreciate the different content. Winter is still a little bit away for you (it will be my summer) so you will have time to decide if you go to Florida or somewhere else. Just keep in mind, these communities will be rebuilding and will need tourism to do so. As you will have your own accommodation, it maybe easier. Reassess closer to the time. Thoughts to all those effected ❤❤❤

[@eduardomontes1276]

Nick, I see that your energy is slowly returning to your body, which is a good sign. Good luck with preparing the farm for winter and keep up the good DIY work. I'm watching your show from Alicante, Spain. 👍👍💪💪

[@rodneybaker5083]

Just a thought, you should build a mound on the opposite side of your water tanks so you can pull your truck and trailer above the height of the water tanks and use four hoses to drain them gravity to four tanks. Your process will be extremely fast and you can do more loads.

[@robertwill1694]

The aluminum on the solar panels contacts and expands from the heat. That’s why the screws get loose.

[@billelsener6192]

Lots of work that us “city dwellers” don’t think about. However, it does stir some thoughts is there more I should be doing. Blessings to y’all.

I am just 16 miles outside Fort Myers Florida, we took a serious hit from both hurricanes. I have never seen so many tornadoes in one day, this was crazy. I had roof damage, but people I know much worst happened to them.

I also live Bellevue FL and lived thru some damn weather. But like I said last year. Put up gutters to catch rain to go into your water/snow tanks. Help you out on those trip down that little old hill. Monkeyvroom

I live in central FL and have just ridden out the storms, especially when storms this late in the season ….. clean ups will be months and it may have another storm this season one down after 12/01/2024 the Eason will be over.

Maybe a snowmobile or 2 .Then you could park your truck at the base of the mountain and shuttle to and from it. Just a thought.

I think you guys will be fine keeping your Florida winter plans as long as you avoid the Siesta Key area and the eastern panhandle. We have about 3 1/2 weeks until Hurricane season is over. Everywhere on the East coast will be ok

Hi Nick and Jen. This was an enjoyable video and I liked dropping in to hang out with you as you began your winter prep work. Buba and Rickie are getting big and I always like seeing what they are up to. They sure like visiting those horses. Larry seems to be up there pretty frequently and I was wondering why he was grading. Does he live in the area? Is your area an organized community of sorts with certralized services for all the property owners? You may have mentioned that in previous videos and I simply forgot. If so, I apologize for the inconvenience. I look forward for work to begin in the your large shop/garage area and getting the lift etc installed down the road. Have a great week and I'll see you on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Love his T shirt Just Chilling!! wouldnt it be good if you had Another trailer, 3 more water Totes, then you could go down in convoy Jen you in 1 and Nick in de other, less journeys, get er done quicker. Or do what the Australians do, attach 1 trailer to the other 1 and pull 2 trailesr with 1 truck.

[@archstanton9206]

LOL on the Power stroke. I bought a brand new 97 F-350 4x4 cc...it was a good truck once I built a trans for it. If your Ford has the joint venture 10 speed in it that GM and Ford worked on together and it is "Allison Approved' in the GM trucks, be careful with that thing....they are having a lot pf problems with them regarding improper shifting Friend owns a trans shop...GM is trying to ignore the problem and hope it will go away. They all have problems these days. Too many computers and BS emissions stuff. About 5 years ago I found a 2007 Dodge ram 3500 Cummins with a six speed...4x4 and crew cab, long bed dually...it had 31k on the clock, one owner. Always garaged, meticulous service records. I grabbed it. Did a little work on it. It is making about 380 HP now and tows my 18k 5er toyhauler fine. I love the new big HP trucks but they are just over the top complex, and too much $ for my cheap self.

[@millcrafters]

A few comments just because I love talking to you guys. One thing is that I noticed the solar panels are partly in the shade because you have the soon to be firewood blocking the rays. :-) (Of course you are there and I have no idea to what extent it blocks the sun throughout the year) The other thing is that although this is one of my favorite You Tube channels, for the life of me I can't see how you convert your living off grid building construction channel into a visit Florida and watch the kids playing channel. That is unless you got a place down there and did more of the same as in building, creating, loving, and meeting challenges. Keep up the great work.
