The Most Powerful Off-Grid Power System!

[@Vanwives]

# porter !!! WE HAVE POWER! What a team effort, it’s so emotional to have everyone here the day the lights turned ON 🥹 Anyone else notice how invested Jazmyn is in this whole process? Shes really got into it all and got her hands “dirty”. She’s passionate about the electrical and it makes me so happy to see her nerding out and understanding how it works. All of you alongside us have been watching this come together step by step for a full year. This week is a huge milestone at the cabin… thank you all for being here with us and to everyone who made this happen 💛!

Your channel, your videos have shown so much respect and honor of the trades it brings a tear to my eye. As someone who parlayed my skills as a mechanic into a job requiring a suit and all that came with it one of my best days was deciding to walk away and go back to my roots building race cars, restoring old British cars and so on. Crystal, Jaz, I LOVE the respect you show the tradesmen and women who have made your cabin life possible. For that alone you have a fan for life. PS: Idea for you: Turn the electrical shack into an rudimentary rental cabin. Call it "Sleepover with the Batteries"! You get a sleeping bag on the floor, all the burritos you can scarf and a multimeter as part of your gift bag. I'd sign up for that fine bit of "lodging"! Working lights included FREE!
