I noticed the small stream going into the pond. You could always add a hydro generator to produce electricity to supplement your solar. Beautiful place!!! I hope to have something similar one day soon.

[@briangarrow448]

Beautiful cabin, sir!!! Anyone would be proud to own such a nice set up.

[@GarrettAlt]

Brian Garrow Thank you.

[@glamorsocial7081]

How much in total cost for this build? 25k with equipment or more?

[@PhilCherry3]

You have your own completely "owned" home & property. To me, it's beautiful! Good job!

[@GarrettAlt]

Thank You.

[@AndreBruning]

@@homenprimata I have 10 acres in southern missouri & I plan on building a cabin as well

[@bobburnitt5389]

Best "off the grid" cabin I have SEEN. I am NOT a big fan of "off the grid" but if you are going to do that, this is the way to go. You should teach the class. I would hate to be around when you replace those batteries. If you replace them say every three years, you would probably STILL be ahead of the Rural Co-op REA thing. If you look at it like THAT, it is not bad. GREAT JOB, really nice. WHERE is this?? Arkansas or someplace like that?? BB

[@GarrettAlt]

Some of the batteries are going on 5 years old and still holding up good. Should last 10-15 years with right battery maintenance. Been working on a off grid guide setup around this cabin. Located in West Virginia. Thank you.

[@bobburnitt1411]

Well, that is good news, GOOD LUCK that is a nice little "place" as we say in Texas. BB

[@goodliving2171]

I see the generator is to charge the solar, yes? So otherwise you'd need to use batteries?

Great looking cabin, Garrett. I had to look this video up, as a lot of people find my videos from this one as "suggested videos". LOL.

Dude.... this place is rad. Thanks for sharing. I have a cabin on my grandparents old farm that is on the grid but still way out back. Thinking about shutting everything down to that one and building another on the other end of the property. Been mulling it over for a while now and after seeing yours I knew immediately thats what I needed to do. Thank again and happy off the gridding!

Lots of nice touches that I will now incorporate into my own Alaska places -- the house I built after moving here in 2006, the guest cabin down by the lake, plus a little cabin and workshop I bought last year near the Kasilof River, and finally a place I'm designing now for my next big Alaska project on the bluff looking west over the Cook Inlet toward Mt. Iliamna.

Very nice but there are a few things needed. The chimney needs a saddle behind it to break the snow. The water barrel and propane tanks, need to be moved to the Gable end of the home, so as not to be threatened by the falling of the snow from the roof. I know this because, my husband and I have lived this. thank you.

By far one of our favorite off grid cabins we have found so far on you tube. We are buying some land in Tenn in the next few weeks and are looking for ideas on a solar powered cabin..TY for sharing

[@patmurphy389]

garrett, you did an outstanding job on putting everything together, including the cabin & the solar panels, ect….having a spring on the property is a plus because you could eventually hook up the spring water to your cabin in the future, if you wanted to. (Unless you have a well dug)...you will never be out of water there for sure! But all in all, you should be proud & that is an awesome set up you have there! ty for the video, enjoyed it.
