My sisters family bought a abandon farm and parked there camper in the barn as they renovated the place. Then one day a logging company showed up and offered them a big chunk of money to partially clear their farm. They built an off the grid house and everything you would need from the logging Co. payment.

@@pennypackmtb2542 I live in upstate New York and have a camper on my property while we fix the main house, but taxes still have to be paid for sure and if a property is being logged it must be big and have a lot of old growth. Once the loggers are done the property probably won’t be worth much and you’ll still owe taxes. Those logging companies aren’t there to help you just themselves. I’ve seen them destroy properties to where no one wants them afterwards because it takes more to fix the damage than it’s worth but good luck. Seems like upstate is hot right now. I know I’m definitely going to cash in on it.

Watching this in high school actually sparked my interest in off grid living (I grew up partly off grid as a kid already, but we then had to move back to the city as a teenager…) and the realization of just how fragile our supply chains are. Unfortunately 15+ years later I still don’t have an *actual* rural off grid property (hopefully someday), but in a semi-suburban house we’re certainly not doing a bad job for the space and constraints we have. Large vegetable garden that always draws comments from passersby, house backing onto a large preserved area that’s also an extremely bountiful forage spot (and if it were a really major disaster, game and firewood), backup power and water sources, I’d have chickens if I had a slightly bigger yard, a large emergency supply pantry, and a LOT of trying to source items we can make or keep in repair ourselves which also massively helps the household budget (that garden of mine I mentioned… is mostly constructed from junk and brush pulled from the curb, the woods and the dump! Someone throwing out their old eavestroughs makes for great berry planters, and I can grow nearly everything in the 5-gallon buckets that restaurants give away…). I’m a seamstress and a historical re-enactor as a day job and people get pretty shocked already when I tell them I can make my own clothes from the point of raising or growing the actual fibre source, harvesting and preparing it for spinning, hand spinning many, many, many yards of fine thread (the longest and most tedious part of the job, thank goodness for podcasts), dyeing with locally sourced items, weaving fabric on a hand loom or knitting the yarn, and only *then* finally sewing it all up! I brought the homestead skills like gardening and canning and clothing and raising animals, and hubby fortunately was more blessed to grow up with technology to be able to add modern comforts to things like designing power systems, internet backups, and never having to chuck out the appliances for lack of a switch or a wire.

36:43 This newspaper clipping from March 29, 1939 chronicled the crash of the first Boeing 307 Stratoliner, a 4-engine, 33-passenger (plus crew of 6) commercial aircraft. It was the first to have a pressurized cabin, which allowed it to cruise at well over 20,000 ft. and avoid otherwise problematic weather disturbances. It was to be delivered to Pan Am, and was being demonstrated to 2 representatives from the Dutch airline KLM when it crashed near Mount Rainier in Washington state. All aboard were killed, including Boeing's Chief Engineer and Boeing's Chief Aerodynamicist, along with the 2 Dutch representatives and 6 others.

Have bought an old RV and have been living in it for almost 2 years. Now heating with wood. Bought my solar panels. Haven’t had running water forever. Have now a rudimentary knowledge of plumbing, electricity, battery technology, solar systems, collecting and processing firewood, putting things together and making things happen alone, with pulleys and ropes. I can use a small battery chainsaw. Learning about rain harvesting, composting toilets, battery pump showers, heating water on my wood stove. I have to do everything slowly and rest a lot. I get tired easily and sleep a lot. It’s painful. But it’s fun. Have investigated all sorts of alternative building methods. Soon I will have to learn to shoot a rifle for protection from bears, just in case...and....I’ve been working completely remotely for a year due to covid and should be able to continue this.

Ah man look at little Logan in these. Wonder what it was like growing with Les as a parent.

I have been thinking about Les a lot lately. I was excited to see this sneak into my feed. It was great to learn of his family, experiences and, successes. Watching this removes some of his mystical manliness. I always looked up to him as a child watching Survivorman. Thank you for the release of this production.

haha you're kids are so tiny, I saw this years back, it's great, very informative, kinda ahead of it's time because tons of people started doing this, it's all over youtube now, people filming their off-the-grid lives, but of course they do it in a really nauseating fashion

Great job guys. I bought a motorhome and put on 6 150 watt panels and got 6 175 amp deep cycle batteries. Love what you built. Need to make a covered out door hot tub. And a green house next . So much fun.

Love the idea, but we’re actually supposed to sweat. What you’ll want to create is a deodorant.

I call them snake oil salesmen. There's water underground everywhere, it's just farther from the surface in some places.

Is there a patent on snake oil? sounds like a possible product. How much oil does an average snake yield?

Ya.. Fan of Les but comeon man! Water Witcher?! 🤣 There's so many tricks that are done with holding your fingers or hands or arms or legs that then make it feel like something is pulling or pushing you.. Disappointed in Les using that, unless he's joking with us.

the magnetic pull somehow affects the wooden branch he's holding. I do think these people actually believe it though
