Off Grid Hot Tub

[@destroya522]

Heavenly! I could really feel the setting, the relaxation of getting to soak. And the storytelling of how this works in your day. Oh - And the personal hygiene info!! Thanks.

[@Cabin_Dad]

So glad you enjoyed it!

twenty years off grid in Alaska.I built 8x10 add on to the cabin and put the heat stove in it. then made a sliding partition. 8x10 was 110 in 15 minutes.Sauna with a back door and a garden can for a shower.all done open the partition and continue to heat the cabin.worked great.little water,same wood.joy to you.

That sounds like a heaven. I love the idea of a heat “addition”. We spent our week in the “new” cabin and it took a good 24 hours to heat the mantle and get the chill out. And used a ton of wood. My workshop cabin heats in 10 mins with a barrel stove. I’d like the benefits of both. Maybe I’ll design an insert with a solar blower for warmer startups. Thanks so much for sharing and joining us on our adventure!

Thanks for telling/showing us all about your hot tub. Looks great!! What a meaningful gift from "cabin chick". You are a beautiful couple. Can't wait for the next video!!

[@Cabin_Dad]

Thank you so much. We shared a lot more personal stuff this time - and you can imagine putting it out for the world can be “uncomfortable “ at first.

Could you set up a ram pump to feed a water tank, and make a gravity feed water system? Then designing it so it won't freeze in winter?

[@Cabin_Dad]

@@landenschooler6726 that is a really good idea! Thank you for sharing it. The biggest issue is that you have to drain the pump after each use - a ram pump permanently installed with a drain would be awesome!

[@landenschooler6726]

@@Cabin_Dad The only hitch I can think of it, how deep is your frost line? And how many gph would you have to keep circulating in your storage/pressure tank to keep it from freezing? 🥶

Hi Cabin Dad, I loved this 'new-format', (/no-noise ☺) video!... I was able to watch the entire thing without once needing to jump over to the 'volume' control! ☺☺ I'm just 'one opinion', but I loved hearing the creek running, the dialog, and the natural occurring sounds; much better than loud music. It's not that I don't like music (in fact I am a musician), I just don't like loud 'pipe-in' stuff in KZbin videos; it's just me, expressing an opinion... By the way, that's a great tip with your car-tire-wood-chopping idea.... You all live in 'heaven-on-earth'; you're very fortunate... Thank you for sharing it all with us.

I appreciate the feedback. I really do. One thing I learned over the years - if one person shares something - there are hundreds of others who are thinking it. I am a pretty flexible guy - and am willing to try new things. I rewatched some old PBS a few nights ago. Mainly old Rick Steves travel stuff and a Bob Ross. Rick Steves and Bob had different styles - Rick did a lot of voice overs during his show and then switching to shots of him walking and maybe doing an explainer. I like that style - but the shots with just a disembodied voice don’t do it for me. Bob Ross was always on camera and then shots of painting. Again disembodied voice. So that’s why I tried talking while you watched cabin chick struggling. Trying to keep voice overs balanced. This is fun and I appreciate your feedback.

[@destroya522]

Totally agree with Andrew. Enjoyed watching and especially listening. Major relaxing and interesting vibe.

[@Cabin_Dad]

@@destroya522 thank you for the feedback too! I’ll get this dialed in yet. Appreciate you watching sharing what works and what doesn’t. Don’t hesitate to share what you would like to see. It helps me figure out what to shoot. Cheers.

Great video..

[@Cabin_Dad]

Thanks for watching! It’s spring time up hear and this week we get snow melt followed by a storm we expect 19”. Can’t wait to be snowed in by the fireplace.

Totally awesome tub bud. Question: cocktail…. Old Fashion?

[@Cabin_Dad]

I am continued to be amazed by how in tune we all are. Yes - Old Fashioned. My drink of choice. A good friend of mine taught me that a good Old Fashioned enhances a whiskey. When done right - there is nothing better on a winters eve - hot tub or not. Cheers to you freind.

[@eaglerare1273]

Very nice and cheers from NC!
