This Property is Designed to Work Off-Grid For 30 Years

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

[@ednzou9726]

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing. Very informative. Implementing some of your strategies for water resilience in my farm @Nzou's of kibwezi farm in Kenya

[@planetbob4709]

where are your videos? :)

[@sigmacentauri6191]

More Americans need to start thinking like our brother here. Blessings, friends.

I had to turn up the colour saturation in my video player to make this video look natural.

An oasis on the hellscape that is the prairies. Joking, mostly, my mother was born in Sask. Great presentation.

[@yveslarochelle2519]

really enjoyed it

[@regenerativelifewayne]

If you added a Walipini greenhouse to this property with an aquaponics system inside than you grow fish 🐟 vegetables and fruit all year around !

[@JaneMadden]

Terrific job in a really tough climate!

[@arnoldreiter435]

the info about well water and its tendency to leave minerals on gardens is a thing....a homesteading youtuber from Texas just talked about how his garden was producing only half of what it did just a few years ago because of his well water depositing salts in his soil. His greenhouse was the first to be affected and his only viable remedy was to collect rainwater.

[@gee3883]

Do you think pumping the well water into the pond and then using the pond water would help?

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

@@gee3883 No, that would just salt the pond. You may want to distill the water.

Having just a 100$ chinese diesel parking heater and 100ah life battery could be the differene between life and death.

Lost you once you showed the Tesla powerwall's, a company that supports their product so poorly I can't afford to insure my model 3 anymore as the premiums have gone sky high. I'd expected to see separate batteries and inverters to ensure reliability and maintainability, ideally batteries which can be re-celled and serviced.

[@dwylhq874]

Good video. Awesome project. Super informative. Definitely didn’t need the background music. 👎

[@sigmacentauri6191]

My pops got a powerwall installed he said it emits a ton of EMF per the readings he took... can they not make an inverter that makes a clean power?

[@johgude5045]

I tend to stick to Victron inverters as they have little problems with EMF and are durable

[@lolimpol]

As in, they produce EMF or dirty power? Two different things.

[@johgude5045]

@@lolimpol none of the above. read a test about the Multiplus 2 for example

[@lolimpol]

@@johgude5045 I was replying to the original commenter and they're father's Tesla Power wall. It intrigues me as Victron inverters use good old Transformers whereas Tesla Power walls use a buck/boost converter and inverter. Should mean the Tesla is more efficient but worse at starting bigger loads.

[@johgude5045]

@@lolimpol Tesla Powerwall is an AC battery (AC in / AC out), so it has horrible efficiency. Better go for DC Trackers and DC/AC Battery Inverter. The Multiplus 2 does not use a normal transformer like the older ones. The big inductor of the MP2 is needed to provide low ripple and thus low EMF at the 5 kVA it provides. I have seen them in all larger inverters i have looked into, and that have low ripple. The EPever ones use multiple smaller inductors but dont looks so clean in their spectrum

[@blackoak4978]

Why did you have to call it something stupid? You have a great system there, but it isn't "anti fragile" as you described it. It doesn't get better under extreme conditions. It is stable. It is resilient. The batteries don't gain functionality by being fully cycled every day. The solar panels don't produce more power on cloudy days. The whole concept of anti fragile is just gimmicky

[@lolimpol]

Exactly what I was thinking. Cool system, but not anti fragile in the way he described it AT ALL.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

True. There are antifragile elements of this build (like orienting the house appropriately to harvest solar thermal energy), but it's not antifragile overall.

[@5203mhr]

So annoying music while you are talking

[@murrayjonasson]

batteries last 30 yrs ??

[@bdblazer6400]

not on one charge. 30 years is the life expectency

[@Islandwaterjet]

Useless video without a cost breakdown. We can all have fantasy systems with an unlimited budget few of us have that unlimited budget. Thumbs down.

[@freegandavehartman8908]

I have built an amazing anti fragile propertie over the last 20 years on a very limited budget while raising 2 kids. It was all diy. Do it or don't, it's totally up to you. There are many resources, a lot of mine came from the waste stream.

[@sidon1979]

stop touching the panels, giving me anxiety hahahahahahah. Please wipe them :)

[@paulmaxwell8851]

"Anti-fragile" is a silly, gimmicky word. We already have a word to describe what you're doing here: resilient. You're suggesting this place somehow performs better when things go wrong, and that's just not true. By the way, if this home uses 30 kWh per day it's an energy hog. My wife and I live in a super-insulated off grid home in British Columbia, using about 3 kWh per day. Even when we lived in an ordinary on-grid home we never used more than 18 kWh per day.
