OFF GRID LAUNDRY REVOLUTION | Washer+Dryer Combo

[@maryl965]

Love it when getting a real upgrade, like hot water in the shower, a refrigerator, or an indoor washing machine and other people can't quite grasp how amazing such things are to those of us who have lived without them. It's great! Such delight in simple things that most first-world-ers take for granted. We are so fortunate, aren't we? To have these luxuries. Clean drinking water...a comfortable bed at night...so many things. You two are doing so well! Your baby is a fortunate one too, to have you as parents.

[@libragirl4471]

Going from bare bones van life to bare bones bus life I'm now living in a parked RV with electricity but still no running water and I feel like a spoiled queen. I love getting creature comforts back little by little

[@rhondamaxey8415]

Praying for your friend Lindy. I hope each day brings her a little more strength, determination, and healing.

[@muriel6843]

You not bringing earrings so the other woman’s earrings would stand out is honestly such a thoughtful thing to do.

[@ElsaRhae]

No need to compete with our sisters 🤍

[@kewlgrl8384]

Baron is so sweet asking “are you happy with it?”. Elsa’s happiness is a top priority for him. Lovely to see ❤

[@karenwyzwmnbrown5853]

I lived for 10 years in a one room cabin, with no electricity, and no running water. Our saving grace was the fact that we were next to a lake, so we built a dock on the lake with a large sauna. During the winter we used the sauna, and during the summer we used the lake. One day, my partner brought the battery in out of his truck and hooked up a couple of lights, and I was in heaven. We heated that cabin with a woodstove that was made out of and oil tank that my partner scrounged somewhere and we were able to burn 5 foot lengths… The challenge being if you’re burning a 5 foot length you’re also taking off most of your clothes cause it’s too hot in the house even in the dead of winter lol. We also used an out house…it was not my favorite lol. I tell you all this while watching your videos because I know exactly the kind of celebration a washing machine or shower is in your life 💚.

[@ElsaRhae]

😊😊😊

[@diazfamilia5421]

With a baby on the way, a washing machine/dryer is a must! So happy for you both! And I applaud you on figuring on that stuff out!

[@jenniferhamer167]

That bought back memories. When we were first married 34 years ago, we bought our first washing machine, after hand washing for a long time. The first day we sat and watched the first load like it was a tv. It was like coming out of the Stone Age 😂

[@newenglandcoast-b4p]

Isn't every little thing exciting when you built it yourself? Great job, Barron, you are the man! Elsa, you look fantastic! 👍👍🥰

[@ewerchris]

I hand washed our laundry for 5 adults for over 3 years till the arthritis in my hands got too bad. I got a washer/dryer combo and it was life changing! I've had it for 3 years now and I still can't believe I have a washer! I still mostly hang our clothes to dry, even in the winters of northern Wisconsin, but it's nice to know I have an option. So happy for you and your new washer/dryer combo!

[@potusol]

You know you're getting older when you get excited about new appliances! 🙂 The combo washer/dryers are great as long as you have realistic expectations and the water/energy savings are wonderful! Congratulations on all the progress you've been making.

[@lioness5953]

Praying for complete and total healing of your friend Lindie and strength and resilience in her recovery. ❤️🙏💪

[@debyarger3084]

The nice thing about the front loader washer is that your load is weighed and that weight determines how much water is used. If I ever sell my house and live more remote,I will be getting the combo machine. Congrats and I love that it brings you so much joy!!!!

[@janbentley444]

One of the advantages of using this washer/dryer is you could dry for a few minutes then hand the wash up overnight. The best of both worlds with less energy usage and minimal wrinkles. I did this when we lived in Germany, they did not have dryers=clean clothes that had the wonderful smell of lined dried. I was one of those who used cotton diapers for the most part and neither of our children ever had a diaper rash. Once you have a system, the money saved is ridiculous and it just feel good. Pampers for extreme emergencies only. You seem to do everything with a specific economical and intentional purpose, kudos. ✌️🤗🇨🇦

[@crazycloud2]

This matters more than you know, even for the adult pads and diapers will cause iritation and problems. I changed to Rael brand, made of organic cotton, huge difference.

[@MarielikestoCrochet]

Just want to say Thank you for sharing ❤ with us all these years. As someone with GAD these videos help my brain relax. Like decompress. I’m watching while I crochet 😊

[@lelephillip2142]

Prayers for Lindie🙏🏾 you got this❤

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

One of the biggest and best pieces of advice I got from a business mentor was, "don't sell yourself short, what you think is a lot is not what someone else thinks is a lot" your talent/uniqueness is worth a lot more than you are giving yourself credit for 💫congrats on the washer-dryer, I am soooo looking forward to that day at my place.

[@dorcaspowellpowell5971]

That soup looks delicious...perfect for the season! With the cold weather outside, there's nothing better than staying toasty and warm while enjoying a bowl of soup inside.

[@annegatter8866]

Or a warm mug of Ovaltine, which is what I'm drinking now. Yum!!!!

[@bluesue6687]

Elsa, you are truely glowing! Your skin is amazing and your hair is so beautiful and shiny! Life is totally agreeing with you❤

[@alicecain4851]

I think you'll continue to love your washer/dryer combo. You both put so much thought into your purchases. Your comments to James and Doreen's daughter's was hilarious! 😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂

[@gardenboots7464]

SO FUN! to see the W/D combo in action. I too had heard so many concerns about them. BUT NOW, I see the advantages, if it fits your situation.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Yes those combo washer/dryers units do take along time to do a load. ❤ I'm glad you have something to do laundry at home now. Your shower is huge going to be amazing. ❤

[@Jeff-ei5yc]

I have the GE combo washer-dryer and love it. I think small loads are the key to short cycle times. After going to the laundry mat for years, it's a blessing.

[@aksez2u]

I actually think that combo washer-dryer is pretty cool. I can see once the baby comes, you might be running laundry a lot, but it's cool that you just stick it in there and then it's done! You don't have to worry about it for hours - that actually seems like a positive rather than a negative.

[@heathers7433]

I thought the same! It takes me that same amount of time with a separate washer/dryer anyway bc I don't always remember to go down to the garage to switch loads over! 😂

[@MiddleEarthGirl75]

Oh thank goodness. Two of my most fav people posted 🥰 Love seeing your reactions to so many things we all take for granted. The work you put into everything in your home shines through you. I know you guys have rough days like everyone else when we take on projects, but please remember how inspiring you are to so many of us who want to do something similar. Thank you for inviting us into your life...your home...your love. Elsa, keep radiating that glow! As usual, sending love and blessings from icy and snowy rural Eastern Ontario, Canada ❤🤍❤ Edit: @Elsa Rhae & Barron WAS THAT A FLUFFY LITTLE KITTEN I SAW at 10:32 ?????

[@sheilacaine]

Soup looked so yummy. Glad you will be able to do laundry now. I will definitely say prayers for your friend. Your bump is so cute.

[@CrossroadsMystic]

I can’t believe you cat teased us like that. The Washer/Dryer combo makes complete sense to me.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

That is a beautiful jewelry case.

[@ElsaRhae]

Thank you! I'm excited to make another, it was a lot of fun!

[@donnab9015]

Gorgeous and talented!

[@lynnemac1402]

I love how excited you were on the washer dryer, love that you are happy and that’s all that matters. Elsa you dancing and posing was so fun x

[@mannyortiz4814]

Baron and Elsa my wilderness couple. First of all. Congratulations on the baby. You guys will make great parents. Now the new washer/dryer will be a much needed upgrade. Happy for the both of you. Want to wish you a happy holiday season and Merry Christmas. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🥂🍾😇❤️🌞🦢👍🙏🌈😘🇺🇸🌹🕊🎄🎅

[@kathypeterson4150]

I really like your leather travel jewelry case. It's the perfect size for travel. It's just perfect. On another note....I have no bathtub in my house, only showers. I've lived here over 20 years and have no regrets about not having a bathtub.

[@Shoot4theMoon32]

“Are you gonna be okay?” 😂 I love love love your videos!! I’ve been watching since the very beginning and have really enjoyed being on your journey with you. Elsa, you look so beautiful and are simply glowing, and the two of you as a couple are pure perfection. So happy for you both.

[@tadah98]

I had a washer and dryer combo in my house for the last 22 years. I’ve had no problems with it after a long time. The dryer seem to not work as good so I bought an RV electric dryer a whirlpool for 50 bucks and that’s what I use until I sold the house. I never had any complaints the dryer dries by,steam so when you take out your clothes before they’re actually damp you have to kinda hang them up but they work and for places where you can’t vent it works perfectly

[@ElsaRhae]

This is great to hear!! So far we love it! Hoping it lasts!

[@PotatoTorinado]

I have the GE washer dryer combo. And I never have to dry longer than the preset cycle. It is steam dry so it's like humid damp. If I just shake the clothes out when I pull them out. My clothes last longer with less damage to them because they are heat blasted everytime I do laundry!

[@Banagal]

Watching the two, I mean three, of you work and chat is so pleasant. Your kindness to each other and all of us in YT land is wonderful! I agree you have the perfect washer/dryer for your current needs.

[@pagewhite61]

Elsa you are too cute for words! Congratulations on all your groovy new home improvements, I’m super excited for you all. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@fabulouspinkmk10]

❤❤❤young family please don't feel like the outside world/us/viewer need an explanation of what is best for your personal situation. Your doing so well. People are so prone to be cookie cut outs and expect others to follow the same path. The more you do you, the more unique you are to watch. 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

Reflecting the love and light for balance and healing. May Grace and Gratitude overwhelm the disrupters.

[@hopeepoh6638]

I've been watching your channel since Brian with Sierra snow camping, but something just hit me. I grew up in your house. My dad built our home from farm wood and old barracks on all the acres my parents could afford and without running water. Summer had baths in a pot, all the light switches were upside down, and we had a blow dryer for the well on cold morning and frogs in the drains. Those are my favorite moments. Dad became a master carpenter and built beautiful homes, and us girls grew up good women now in our 40s, but we never fixed the light switches. Live it! Love your life and those you bring into it! It's time that's a resource.

[@Phenom157]

Hi Elsa, Baron, Baby girl Link, Kamp, and Pilot. I was so sorry to hear of your dear friend's cancer returning. I don't have much right now, but I was happy to donate what I could. Sending much love and lots of prayers.

[@ElsaRhae]

You are amazing. Such a special gift, thank you so much 🤍

[@loribagley3484]

Y’all are the best,I have been watching you for years,I am 67 years old,a widow for 7 years so happy to see get to this point in your lives!

[@vikki4now]

So cute seeing you with the new washing machine. It really doesnt take much longer than a regular wash n dry. ENJOY!

[@bethwhite2641]

Yup! You will figure it out! A baby changes everything, especially the first! But you guys will be fine. The soup looked delicious! The jewelry carrier is sumptuous! And the washer/dryer is very cool! Most people wind up leaving stuff in the washer way too long. One thing I happened to do 48 years ago with my first baby was buy a few boxes of disposable diapers. I know, sounds awful. I was planning on using cloth diapers, and I did. But, I knew that my husband and I would be without help, so I thought a few easy diapers might help. I had to have an emergency c-section (big baby; footling breech). Anyway, we came home and enjoyed not having to wash newborn diapers for a couple of weeks. Sleep will be so disrupted, and finding ways to rest is a good thing….said the old grandma! Also, enjoy loving on that baby all you can! No such thing as too many cuddles! And they grow up so fast!❤️

[@sharondoan1447]

Great idea! Let’s ease into the newborn baby experience by using some disposable diapers for the first few weeks, or months, and switch to cloth once we kind of get into a routine of some sort.

[@sharondoan1447]

My family in Japan have used the Samsung washer-drier for many years. What I have heard them say is you need to remember to not over fill the machine. Overloading the machine adds time to the drying and the clothes have no room to fluff up. They will come out horribly wrinkled. Over time you will get a sense of what items to put together for the best out some. Drying towels may not be necessary if you have a clothes line of some sort to dry them on. ( on which to dry them , if you prefer😊) My mother freeze dried sheets and towels in Winter on a line strung outside. If the day was windy they were soft, if not they were kind of rough and stiff. But the drying was free! And the fresh, clean smell was amazing.

[@anneliesjoss]

What a beautiful, cozy home you are creating 🧡 “Should we put it in French?” “Elsa, please”😂

[@jerryrathgeb4412]

Big adventures and little, every day! You make me smile whenever you post (usually). I hope it's all working beautifully, and whenever it isn't you find a way through. ❤️

[@trishcarr559]

You are 100% right about not needing a tub. I bathed my babies in my kitchen sink until they were a little over 2. Then they thought the walk in shower was so much fun! We have a waterfall shower head and also a hand held sprayer. Lots of fun for a toddler or little kid!

[@T-Pag]

Yay! Great to see the washer/dryer in action after so delicately delivered. 😊❤❤❤

[@deven1446]

You guys are the bessst people, seriously feel so much hope after watching a vlog. The most genuine vibes. So siked for your new chapter of being parents ❤ I’m creating a human myself so your vlogs are even more special right now ❤❤ few months behind ya els. I hope I can approach this with the grace and patience and faith that you have . Gah 🫶

[@monicaroethlisberger2124]

I enjoy seeing all your research and hard work pay off in a way that is a success for you. And that's all that matters; you are happy with your success! Looking good and love seeing it all work out.

[@mamapetecooley7324]

So fun! Our water heater just went out and we decided to go with a tankless, same one I just saw at your house! I told my husband, Barron does his research! So cute when Barron said, “Elsa, please!” 😂 Elsa, dance girl! Get it! Love your casual hang out episodes! Exciting changes. Love your jewelry case❤

[@mamapetecooley7324]

Oh yeah, the soup looked like the bomb!

[@patriciaguyer3288]

I am a senior with some mobility issues. We bought a combo GE Profile washer/dryer combo and put it on the main level. Beats going up and down the stairs to the basement. I am sure you will love yours too.

[@hawkeye9382]

The baby has dropped since last video! Getting close! Congratulations on the shower, washer and dryer! That chicken and noodles looked amazing! Jewelry case looks amazing also.

[@dulciemargaretcolton145]

Hi. We have a Miele' washing machine. Its 14yrs old now. We use a quick wash for most things, 32minutes at 30degrees, 1000speed spin. Its been great so far. Your looking really well Elsa. Take care both of you.😊😊

[@lorchid23]

You are absolutely glowing, and completely adorable… I so love how happy and proud you are to be preggers!! 😂❤️‍🔥💯 Y’all are just the bestest 💋

[@sharonoldham4374]

We have one of the washer/dryer combo at work. It works really well. I have no complaints. I'm glad you like yours.

[@Feefifum]

A wee suggestion, as a combo washer dryer owner for years (theyre incredibly popular in the UK due to small kitchen sizes/no utility space) maybe think about getting a clothes dryer or pulley dryer for your smaller items saving electricity especially for an area near your stove or windows during the day.

[@RNKoriginalss]

What a cool washer/dryer!!!

[@elliotsgal8866]

Being able to do a wash and dry load of laundry is such an amazing luxury! So happy for you guys!!

"Did you clean up in here?" both of you together "nesting" was so cute

[@danataylor8530]

You have already figured out the best solution. Wash at night who cares how long it takes to dry if you wake up to dry clothes. Elsa your pregnant belly is so cute.

[@mylavenderpages9519]

You guys are so fun to watch! I love the shower and the washer/dryer! When you get something new the excitement is real.

[@ElsaRhae]

It has been so amazing so far 🥹

[@stevenwalker8104]

As a father I noticed that Baron is responding stress in a slightly different way now that fatherhood is starting to setting in for Baron. I can see the low key stress or as I like to call the providers burden. Brother as a fellow dad you will be stressed out more than you have ever imagined but you will also have more joy than what you ever thought or imagined. That baby will be a miracle that will flip your life upside down in the best ways and it will grow you both to be stronger wiser people not only for each other but for your children and everyone around you. I love you guys I've been watching you since the beginning may God bless and keep you!

[@lindabishop2929]

🙏🏻 for your friend Lindy 🫂

[@dianeh1541]

Put clotheslines inside your house. Your wood stove will dry clothes fast. That’s what I did with no dryer in my cabin.

[@cynthiagalloni3410]

I get what you’re doing and love u guys. But a bathtub with kids was life saving for me! And they love tub time!

[@ElsaRhae]

I said in the video that we have a large sink and space in the shower to add a small tub 👍😊

[@jenniferwebb1005]

I feel like after following y’all for several years now, it should be assumed that you have done the research and you know your needs and the capabilities of your home systems. And that you have made the best decision available to you. Maybe more or different factors will change the need later on but today you’ve made the best decision.

[@joel.rundle]

I just got a Samsung washer dryer installed just this week. Absolute game changer, I love it.

[@ElsaRhae]

So glad to hear it. It’s been awesome so far!

[@rachelfoss5455]

Your kids are going to have the best life! Love your style. It's fun to watch. ♥️♥️♥️

[@gabrielleszafir]

I am always inspired when I watch you guys continue to figure things out! I make KZbin videos in a similar spirit as you guys about our life in the remote west in our semi off-grid tiny home and hope to one day have our own home. I am nerding out with you guys about how many systems it takes to make things like a shower, washer and dryer, and other things that modern life takes for granted, work. Appreciate you guys! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours!

[@skyeasti]

I have this same Samsung washer and I love it! You will get used to doing optimal sized loads so it doesn't take several hours. I LOVE starting a load at night and waking up to clean dry laundry! You can even watch KZbin videos on it 😂😂

[@littlehouseinthebigwoods1010]

I am watching this as I have clothes hanging outside on the line to dry in the snow and a newborn inside! Haha So glad you’re getting an indoor setup before your baby girl comes ❤ We have five kids and only a shower. It’s totally fine. Bathe the baby in the sink and you can put a tub in the shower or just block the drain and let it fill up an inch or two and have the water come out of the faucet slowly.

[@ElsaRhae]

That's so awesome. You and your family must be awesome people! Take care, sweet mama!!

[@ammityconnell809]

Same, family of 7, we bathe the babies and toddlers in the tubby, often times while we shower as well. Works great!

[@Luvlacegrl]

My babies always got their baths in the sink until they got too big. 😊

[@karengarner9839]

My kiddo.18 now,.but as soon. As she was old enough to hold her head up she showered with me and I just passed her over to dad after she was all clean.

[@pattioneill3849]

Prayers for Lindy, I'm so sorry that the cancer has returned, may God go with her and surround her with His light. I know so many have mentioned you consuming raw milk, it's only because we care, I am sure you are aware of the risk. Having raised cows, you know how much poop is near their udders, it's udderly disgusting, bacteria is so prevalent. ❤❤❤❤

[@christinefoster381]

Love your enthusiasm about your new washer and dryer. I had one in Seattle in my condo. The combo settings do take awhile. But you don’t have to go to the laundry mat. Sometimes I would just wash and then 29:40 air dry. You guys are the best!

Good for you guys! I’m so proud and happy for you. I can’t even imagine having every decision you make scrutinized on here. Just know you’ll make great decisions and you’ll make bad ones with good intentions. Just know they aren’t wrong because they are yours. If you look over the years past I guarantee you some of your best lessons, best memories, best inventions, best remedies, and best stories by majority have some unfortunate event or a whoopsy attached. So, just keep living… keep being you… you guys don’t know me but I’ve been along for the whole ride and I feel like I know you! I have no regrets for my time traveling along with you two. You’re wonderful, smart, and ambitious! Your home is fantastic and only gets better with each decision YOU make. Wisdom from an old lady? Be UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU! You’re fabulous!

[@megvoss3329]

I am pleased to help your dear friend by makIng a donation & adding her to my prayers. You must've bought a really good washer/dryer machine. All the ones I used have taken 2-3 hrs longer. You can always get a clothes horse & put it next to wood stove to dry baby things fast. You'll be doing lots of laundry once your baby arrives.

Life off-grid is like living in the 1900's with 2025 high tech mixed in at the same time, its like living in a time-warp. Congrats on your high tech washer / dryer combo. Samsung have innovative products but they have one downside. When the break down, and they will, you will have to wait one month for a warranty part replacement. Fingers crossed this is a non issue for your growing family.
