Hey Curtis its Martin from Czechia. 100% agree with election that does not realy matter who wins. Our lives are our and we are the writers of our story. I found you couple of years ago and thanks to you I know what is it to live more self sufficient. Like thanks to you I decided to live off grid, I have 36 solar panels and 50.4kWh battery about 18 months now, I have two ponds which one is also swimming pond... Just wanna say you have kick started me to do something and I thank you for inspiration :-) take care

Greenhouses are amazingly warm in the coldest of temps, as long as the sun is shining. Wish us luck here in the U.S. If things go well here, that can spread northward. 😊

Curtis… I found you when you were ‘painting’ your previous home and while I have not religiously watched every one of your videos since then… I’ve been following you plenty… I had a house in the city just like yours that I planned to farm like youprior to 2020, hoping to eventually do what you have done… move off grid. I never got the farm going on that property but I learned a lot… then I finally moved off grid in July 2024… I’ve got three power stations… a ‘regular’ inverter (separate component) system with 2500 watts of panels a small cistern and a wood stove. The power stations are providing everything I need in terms of elec right now. The property already had a comfy little shack… But I just put a shed and a new tiny home on the property. Still living in the shack for a few more months. I’m prepping garden beds all winter and can’t wait to completely exit… but I am building. I was both happy for you and a bit jealous at the same time, when you were able to move off grid. But I know how hard you worked to make that happen. I could have done some things different and been here sooner. I finally made it! I had to get a job though. But, hopefully by the end of 2025, I’ll be nearly autonomous. Gotta pay for my phone and my truck and various supplies, as long as those things are available to me. It’s such a joy to be living out here in the wilderness.

Today we put in a bid for land, I canned beef bone broth, finished purifying my tallow, fed my sour dough starter that I started from dates. I’m baking regular bread soon. I’ll be breaking down a pork loin into meals in a bit here. I’m kind of listening to what’s going on in the USA right now but it’s not going to cripple me and what I need to get done in my house.

@ land is definitely available in the West Coast, I recommend finding a flat enough area to build as well as 90 to 100 feet elevation. Water is not an issue if you don’t mind setting up a thousand gallon tank. A solar system is a must for off grid , size will depend on your need and usage

I love watching your winter wonderland videos in my (australian) summer. What I would give for -3 degree temperatures right now. Instead it's 38 degrees with deafening cicadas roaring from dawn til dusk. Can't wait for winter! I only wish we got snow like you. The best we get is ice

@devinsullivan7233 2 ай бұрын

Hey Curtis. Interesting that you are referring to the orientation of your greenhouses as in which way the side walls are facing. The correct way is that the orientation is in which direction the end walls are aligned. Just something to point out to the other viewers. Your passive solar greenhouse is oriented east to west. Your chicken greenhouse is oriented north to south.

Love to see how the Home has come along. I remember you breaking ground on this when I was an FTF subscriber. You taught be to centralize infrastructure and make you property efficient and long time ago and I took that to heart. Designed my homestead around that. Thanks brother Happy New Years and happy for our brother to the North that Trudeau is on the way out! Take care man

Speaking from experience, you may want to put up chicken wire to prevent the chickens from pecking the sides of the greenhouse. They try to peck at the water droplets and end up putting holes in the sides of the plastic.

Funny you say that. There's actually two of them and they guard the flock in exchange for some feed. It's a pretty cool symbiotic relationship. They take less feed than a chicken but protect the area really well.

@@offgridcurtisstone I enjoy to heard that you have to crows as guardian. A nice little feather couple. I hope they got chicks next summer. For the feed, crow never eat exes food, when they are full, they hide the food for later on. I'm living in a city with lot of tree in the neighbourhood and I use the crows as alarm system again thieves and drones. They alert the neighbourhood when a thieves try to break in. The crows can memories people faces and remember It even 5 years after only saw It once. So they are pretty good. I fed them with cashew, peanuts and walnuts. For them nut are really valuable because It's taste good for many days in the wild if the squires did not find them before. But in the city, the crows, have many cache on the street light where the quirel can reach.

@OfftoShambala I am looking at a small backyard sunken greenhouse. Most try to maximize solar gain to the winter solstice on any kind of geothermal thing, but if the earthwork is already in place and the sun looks good, it just might work.

Excellent video Curtis! Really good points.. -- QUESTION -- We watched your generator and solar videos several times. I know that only one month a year, approximately, you need to run the generator and otherwise get by on Solar. My question is this, from your location in BC, what would it take to "gross up" your solar panel setup to make enough power using the off-month as the base for calculating solar installation.(yes, it would be silly expesive but I have no idea how bad it would be)? ie I assume that you generate some amount of solar during the off-month. Coudd you install so much solar that it would meet all your needs 12 months a year and what is that gross-up number going to be? Is it 50 percent more panels or double the solar or triple - I think you get my point...?? Is there some source or website that lists this data?
