We are building an off grid homestead on a remote island in southeast Alaska. Our goal is to become more self sufficient and self reliant buy growing our food, raising our own food and though hunting and fishing.
We put videos out every Sunday on KZbin to bring you a little slice of Alaska.

I’d put the batteries on top of some sort of foam or insulation pad, so during the winter it doesn’t thermally conduct the coldness from the floor.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

That’s a good idea.

[@clark7117]

I suppose your inverter has finally decided to invert its career path and become an exverter!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

😂😂😂

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Sorry that DD is sick. Great mods that should really help your system to operate better. Thanks for sharing with us B!

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Sorry to hear that you guys got Colvin going on that's one thing I don't want to get I've only got two of those shots things didn't get anymore because a friend of mine got the third one and just both died from it something wrong with his lungs so I said the heck with it no more of that bad enough I couldn't use my arm for two weeks

[@StarBase7390]

Brian I know it’s a pain but you may want to consider moving your battery cables to on top of the batteries rather than hanging out the side for something to catch on them or become a trip hazard. You know safety first. Can’t afford to let any of that energy out uncontrolled or stumble and fall. It could be a very bad day. Enjoy watching. Live Free!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I agree👍

[@maryalice8507]

Sorry to hear you caught the rona Diana. I hope you get plenty of rest and have a speedy recovery. Nice you see you all home on your island. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

[@juliepeeks4184]

Sorry to hear that you got Cov., I had it last week, what a mess., feeling better now, then hubby got it later. Hope you feel better soon, thanks for supporting Brian, hubby calls it morale support! Stay safe.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Glad you are feeling better now.

[@Kevin_D1]

I know that feeling when your connecting your batteries together. I get it everytime I mess with my solar system My charge controller took a crap on me and it was less than two years old.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I blame the squirrel that was storing pine cones in and around it last year.

[@chuckhorner3758]

Good job, Bro

[@russellwatters5891]

Happy to see ya'll are back in the swing of things. The skiff was given a second lease on life, another day or two of rain.. 😂😅 Im glad ya'll are getting the solar setup moved inside, no reason to have any interruption of power this winter. Love ya'll ❤️

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

The inverter I’m replacing is on back order everywhere. I just ordered a different brand, we will see how this one works.

Nice to watch a video again . We have been busy for a couple of weeks at our cottage.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Hopefully it was productive and relaxing.

[@suewalters9822]

Excellent move with the solar!! Now you can cross that off your list of things to worry about come winter! You both are looking good, I hope you both are feeling good. Have a great week and stay safe!!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Yeah that was one I was a little nervous about.

[@ernesthallett8003]

ALL good big fella, sorry to hear everything’s favourite friend come back around( should be sooo overcovid 😂😂😂) ALL THE BEST…

[@MountainMariner]

The capacitors in the inverter are best energized slowly, with a resistor. Once energized you won’t have a lightning bolt arc which can damage “stuff.” Also when you disconnect the inverter the capacitors will hold energy for many minutes so care needs to be taken not to short the positive to negative. Will Prowse has a video on this.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Yes sir

[@cedricgates9976]

wow glad you know what yer doing sure is beyond me, suprised you dont have skirting around the bottom of the cabin

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

It yet.

[@michelerucker3755]

Thankyou Brian and Dianna , 😊

[@debbiemiller7342]

Great video, thank you. Hope you are both feeling good now

[@martna1]

Love to hear you say it "Live Free"!

[@davidasimkosr4641]

Great work on solar move !! Except the problem with inverter that got zapped.....,

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

It went bad while we were away. Not sure what happened.

[@charlenegrady8781]

Hello Brian and Diana👋. Good to see you today. Will be nice to have your solar set up in the cabin. Easier to keep an eye on it when winter comes. Good job Brian. You got any fishing trips planned?🎣. We have been busy here on Cape Cod with gardening and fishing. The season is so short you got to do it while you can. Thank you both for sharing today. Have a blessed Sunday and week. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Thanks Charlene

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Excellent video as always and it's always good to see you guys take care and be safe

[@pjotrhof2505]

Great job

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

It takes a lot to sink it tin boat with flotation in the seats trust me I know one time I was pulling the kids on a tube in my little 12 foot fiberglass boat with a 15 horse on it turn the corner let the rope get slack and then when it went tight the tube pulled the boat underneath the water yelled at the kids to get off the tube opened the throttle all my fishing gear and a $600 fish finder we're sitting in the boat floating barely made it to shore at the lake it sure was glad I didn't lose everything don't think I'd do that again And my fiberglass boat had no flotation in it anymore because I cut the original seat so put just a board across the middle and underneath the front I cut a hole out restorage underneath the front seat

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I’m glad you didn’t lose any gear 😂

[@outsideinalaskahawaii5987]

Not sure why so jumpy with the electricity. One boo-boo and you had a insta-perm commercial. Money in the bank dude! Best wishes with the vid. Hoping it’s mild.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

😂 for real

[@stanpersful4723]

Hope the vid isn't too bad for yall!

[@nanukbigwithe]

👍👍

[@weldnallday]

What is the model of your beautiful boat!?

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

It’s a Stabicraft 2500 xl

When did Diana cut her hair?
