Back in the day , when a person got snow tires on, it meant studded tires. If you live in a snow prone area and you have a wood or coal stove, ashes were one of your best friends in the winter.

Hey Jenna, You give sitting outside having a cold beer a whole new meaning....BBBRRRrrrrrrrrrr 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Hi Jenna! If you didn’t already know this, putting plastic trash bags held on with a rubber band on your car mirrors will help to keep them clear from any ice and snow buildup.

Girl you are so cute. I enjoy watching you go about your chores. You are definitely a hoot. Keep ‘em coming. Spring is around the corner.

My boss called and interrupted me watching a new Gypsy Jenna video......how rude!!!! 71 degrees here in Texas today (22 C). You have snow...... we have tornadoes, hail, and dust storms. Fun video, thanks!!!!!!!

A cardboard box with some ashes, inside a plastic bag, in the trunk. Always makes me feel better prepared while on the road.

Ashes to the rescue. Also good for putting on gardens all winter and later tilling it under to revitalize the soil a bit. Love that wind in the tree's sound, music to my ears among other things such as babbling brooks, birdsong and cat's purring... I bet your wood will last through February, but honestly, God only knows. Have a great week Jenna.

thanks for the update on your home stead. The car getting stuck. Build a car ramp . yep 3-5 inches above your driveway height out of barn wood slabs . 5-10 degree forward slope . Or buy a carport enclosure at 5 times the cost . but year round benefits. Buy an extendable painters pole , up to 16 feet . they use the same 3/4 threads as a paint roller handle, and also works on a shop push broom head, for clearing roof snow , etc. and or make a panel cover for your solar , yes pre cover it before the snow and remove it in the morning. ! Keep important life tasks simple and repeatable. systems make for a reliable , daily life . Think of the simple additional , one time tasks that make the morning burden , less so . Park your fire circle place chairs , up side down !!! so the bottom seat is always dry for your back side . Yes you are learning as you grow. Congrats on that . understood. consider , the mind set of training your future self , in simplicity. Not criticizing you... Break your patterns, to make your day easier. prevention , preparation and redundancy :) add a few siliconed quarters to the cat door to keep it closed .

Regarding the hum of the gas regulator. That's the membrane that vibrates at a high frequency due the gas flow. There is black screw on the side of the regulator, if you unscrew that, there is a big screw under for a flat bed screwdriver. This screw regulates the pressure, turning this screw 90° will stop the hum. If you turn this screw clockwise, you increase the gas pressure, counter clockwise will decrease the gas pressure. If there is another regulator between this outside regulator and your furnace and refrigerator, then the little difference(lower or higher) in gas pressure can't harm anything. Also, turning this screw just 90° doesn't change the pressure that much, but enough to stop the vibration of the membrane. If you unscrew the black screw while there is gas flow, the hum can temporary get louder and make a buzzing sound, untill the black screw is placed back in place. That's normal. No gas will come out when you unscrew this black screw, because this is above the membrane, the gas is on the other side of this membrane. Grtz

I just found your channel enjoyed watching several videos. Really been impressed with your problem solving and coping skills. Not just anyone can go out and live without the Utilities like you are.

I lost 3 days of solar last snow :-(. I have to get on my metal roof to clean them off “wasn’t happening :-(. This spring I’m going to build my rack on the ground :-). Bless you 🙏🏼. Love your video’s.

Great sense of humor, Jenna! As long as you keep your sense of humor, you can survive Old Man Winter. You did a wonderful job of keeping us entertained and even ol' Rickety got in on the comic relief. Wow! That wood pile is going down fast. I hope you get a mid-Winter thaw for at least a week so you can get some more firewood. Wouldn't it be nice to see the ground again? You made me think back to my time in Alaska and I am sorry to say, "I want no part of that again!" I remember those mid-Winter blues and thinking about a warm sandy beach and plenty of Sun. I just noticed you have over 18k subscribers! I knew you were famous. Notoriety comes at a hefty price though, don't turn into a "Gypsicle Jenna" or is that a "Jenna Gypsicle". Someday, when it's warmer, remind me to tell you about the "beersicle run". Stay warm my friend!

As a southern boy down here on the gulf coast of Florida, my observation is as follows. I enjoy watching your videos showing the majesty of nature and winter. Personally, I was not built for high temperatures high humidity. I was built more for snow in the mountains. But the last time I was in Anchorage in the winter, it was 22 below zero and we had 17 feet of snow. I can relate.😊 This morning here it was a brisk 46°, 50% humidity. I had to put on a down vest.😂

Love your cats 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️! We get cold weather here, only been in Pennsylvania 2 yrs. Originally from New Jersey. I find those winter blahs setting in about February! Hang in there, spring will be here before you know it! Stay warm and safe!! Peace and love to all!!

I'm going to guess your 1 & a 1/2 stacks of wood will last you 3 & 1/2 weeks tops. Wow that was relaxing sitting around the fire pit having a beer with ya☺️👍 Looked refreshing😁 Always a great video, I love watching all the way through💯 Your new ladder is going to be nice😃 And thanks for the tip with the ashes, I never knew that.

I love your content and your light hearted attitude! You’re inspiring me , in 7 years I’m going retire in the Missouri Ozarks and you’re showing me some good ideas. Thanks and stay safe.

I bought a telescopic pole in the paint department at Walmart for about $20 dollars and attached a cheap broom head to it. It makes cleaning the snow off of my solar panels so much easier,no more ladders!!!!!!😊

Girl I must say you are truly the ticket------Im impressed with your natural beauty and your ability to withstand whatever mother nature throws your way.

Hi Jenna you did great with the ashes I used to use skid chains that strap on the tires for the snow been lousy winter so far in Jersey like rain every other day but no snow not crazy about it when your older, love watching your videos stay safe and warm Dear

What a great waying to live off-grid and enjoy the simple things in life, fishing and the great outdoors

Brrr! Stay warm! Suggestion on your cleanoff issues. Try to find an old pool cleaning screen on a pole then modify it to have a brush on it. Easy and much safer than a ladder!

Great vid, as usual! I really like learning how people live in such a frigid environment off grid, and live very well! Thank you for sharing.

Its been a crazy month of weather here on Maryland's eastern shore. 70° one week, 5 inches of snow the next. Stay warm Gypsy Jenna!!

When I'm outside tending to the snow, I always wonder what folks in warmer climates are doing at the very moment? Bike riding, fishing, going for walks, playing sports, swimming...well, who needs that! Back breaking shoveling, spending times on a slippery ladder, clearing roof is pure adventure! Ok, cold climates suck mainly, because the winter time in the northeast is too long! I think my back hurts from watching you shovel! Great video! -Miss the smile / frown face temp display!

You might want to consider an older Subaru Outback really nice in the snow ,I also have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee both are older but great in the snow All wheel drive and Four wheel low also on jeep.Hate getting stuck also live very rural Take care ❤️

ROWDY WEATHER, IT WAS 52 IN IDAHO TODAY, BUT JANUARY WAS AS LOW AS -10F. BRRRRRR.... AWESOME JOB WITH THE WOOD ASHES, YOU DEF KNOW HOW TO IMPROVISE. STAY WAR LIL LADY, GOD BLESS.🙏🙏🤙🤙💙💙😁😉

I just got plowed out today here in Pictou County.. paths to the wood shed and chicken coops done.. i use wood ash too.. get ready for this weekends weather 😊

So windy there, I'm guessing the end of February on the wood. Cheers.👍👍🔥🍻

Cool tip about using ashes , thanks

Hey, Thanks for that snowball in my face! It was greatly appreciated! It helped cool me off, while sitting here, sweating my ass off, under the Tiki hut, sipping on a Rum Runner. I needed something different, than jumping in the pool, to cool off,

Ashes, great idea. I keep cat litter and a few carpet samples in my car.😊

Cool trick with the ashes

I'm getting the winter blues too but you always put a grin on my face. Spring always seem so far away this time of year.

We used to use ashes for that. Snotcicles, never heard that before. He’s stalking you Jenna. Have a great day Jenna.

Love your videos ! Always funny amazing sense of humor.

Hey Jenna. You should shovel your snow around the skirting of the trailer it will stop the wind and keep your floor warmer.

Just a little something if you didn’t already know if your generator won’t start and your solar panels are covered in snow and your batteries are getting weak you could always use jumper cables to your car to charge your batteries back up in an emergency

Tackles the winter every year, with a smile on her face. Jenna, it's always a blast.

i love your winter videos takes me back when i lived in a 50s trailer out in the boondocks in the winter

Dear Jenna..Have been seeing the monsterous storm that hit the Maritimes this week..can't stop thinking about you,and hope everything is working and you are safe and warm,or staying somewhere while you dig out or whatever.Thats scary amounts of snow! Best of luck and safety Jenna and Kitties! Take care.

Great video, you definitely deserved that beer after all the hard work! Stay safe and warm jenna❤

Looks like I'm a little late for the snow day at Jenna's video. Nice trick, getting unstuck with the ashes.👍🏾

You should be good until March with wood. It has been a mild winter this year in NH. I'm not complaining 🙂 If you are concerned you could grab pallets and use them to supplement your wood. Or look for fallen hardwood and cut off that. I've done all of that in a pinch.

You got some snow Jenna and I think your cat like the snow some LOL

I live in a very nice apartment. Last winter it got so cold I put bubble wrap on my windows. Absolutely no one knows so I left it all on for the summer. The light still comes in and its great

About the same here, but may not get the snow. It's kind of iffy. Lot's of rain coming, they saying for now. Problem is the ground thawed out from the freeze, so it has turned into mush. I left two ruts fifteen feet long, a foot deep, with my 8 ply mud grips day before yesterday trying to get the groceries around here, but I didn't get stuck. I just got home from the truss company getting scraps of pine boards to burn. I've got a few big pieces of pecan tree trunk that I have to cut in half so I can split them. We're going to blade the driveway tomorrow with the tractor. It has turned into mush too. It dried out some today with the sun out. Lots of mud everywhere. I had to park out front until it all goes away and I can get back around here. So I'm carting wood and cans of food around here to the back, before the rain comes again. The new lithium batteries are doing great compared to last year. Voltage is 26.6 v. The wind generator has been keeping the lead acid ones charged pretty well, 12.73 v. I probably have enough wood 🔥 until March. It looked like your place here last week, but it's turned into Mudville. The struggle is real, lol. Be sure and keep your vitamins C up. I got a dozen oranges and some lemon juice at the store. Yeah, I'm ready for spring too. The rain is coming, then another one behind it coming in off the West coast, so uncle and I will just have to wait it out before driving in and out of here.

Ok girl, I used to live in western New York, right by Lake Ontario and had plenty of experience in my younger days with wind and snow, that is why when I retired out of the military bought a home in Tennessee, not so much of that white stuff falling from the sky. Enjoy your youth, cold doesn't play well with you when you get more seasoned in life. Now I still enjoy a good beer, but not outside in the winter, I'll wait for a nice hot sunny day, thank you kindly. Be watching for your next adventure going for a walk with your companion.

I was moaning about our 68 degree Florida high for today, and then I switched on the Gypsy Jenna show; mercy sakes girl, that looks freezing.

A ladder used for harvesting fruit is much more sable than most. Has a very wide base

Hey, Jenna! We had the same storm here in Newfoundland. We had a lot more wind and a lot more snow. I personally hate winter. Spring cannot come soon enough. Love your vids! Give those sweet kitties of yours a big old kiss from the Rock! LOL

I believe you will be fine with your wood heating source. It’s “warming” up again on the East coast. I follow the weather forecast closely and temperatures aren’t supposed to drop below freezing again… Just burn efficiently and all will be fine… Love the simplicity Of your videos….

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the ending!

Wow. Didn’t know about the ashes trick. Thank you

Cool trick with the ashes. and congratulations on the forth coming new ladder.

Snow is a nuisance. But good for the heart. Have a great day. Love the vids.

Use kitty litter around the tires to help with the slippage I carry some in my hatchback

Haha that bow/curtsy after the ashes trick.

Reality TV, it is always fun to see what is happening in Nova Scotia Land. Right now, I have 6 inches(15 cm) of snow on the ground. We are halfway through the Winter, 47 days until Spring. 😊

Keep warm

The plow guy uses an older tractor that doesn’t have a floating bucket capabilities. That feature would eliminate the gravel problems.

A pine branch works amazing for getting a car unstuck, we keep a few branches in our pickup truck lol. great video as always :) Kitty looks like it's on a mission to finally catch that chipmunk lol.

I’m from cape breton ,in Ontario now , years ago we used coal and wood ashes for traction, the coal was better but wood ash works well too , hard to get coal now tho and it’s more messy and bad for the environment, maybe for next winter get a car tent , saw a few in driveways up here they work great , no cleaning snow off either gravel inside , good videos have a good night 👍

Don't forget to LIKE 👍 Another great video Jenna, thanks for sharing

Ashes work. Running soft winter tires on bare pavement ware the tread out pretty quick.

Fun times in the winter!

Love your videos and look forward to them. I admire your grit! I’m from Vermont traveling down in Arizona for a few months. Don’t miss the snow and cold. Might just make a habit out of this snowbird stuff. Stay warm!

I agree, spring can't come soon enough! You shovel and deal with winter like a champ though Jenna 🙌 Wood ashes are great for the slippery sidewalk too.... messy though, very messy! ☺

Just be careful out there Jenna, great video as usual

Hi Jenna we got a lot of snow in cape breton I was sick thru it all thank God we didn't loss power well my dear stay safe and warm love you ❤

Hi Jenna, I was frezzzing looking at you doing your snow jobs, we got no snow this year yet not since 2018 not fair. Any way nice to see Ramsey out for a walk , your home is so hot you confused the mosquitos.

Hi Jenna: I just discovered your channel. Your content is fantastic and you're AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.

Not under a palm tree but have the aircon on to get it down to 27C.... It's warm and humid in the land of Roo's

I just subscribed yesterday . Texas here enjoying watching snow from a distance lol😊 Enjoying your channel 😂

Sometimes if you put a little kittie litter or icemelt around your tires. That usually works. Greetings from Maine😊

Hey Jenna. Love watching your videos. I'm hoping to get some land up in northern Maine in a year or two. Your videos give me an idea of what it is like to live up north. I love the winter and while I don't like being cold I love the cold weather if that makes any sense. Stay safe.

Watch the pine trees.? They often drop branches when they get snow covered. They are often heavy and will brake awning and windows. Later

Thank you for sharing Jenna. Summer is on the way. New ladder is Great. My goodness that is some wind. Beer around the fure pit, awesome. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

You are a real trooper !

Great tip with the ashes . Girl I am getting the winter blues for you . I love your spirit , but that is too damn much work . Hoping for an early spring for you . 🙂

I can't believe you've got SKEETERS!. Only Jenna, only in the middle of winter in a snowstorm...

Mosquitos in winter, yeah i've seen them in my home in January, mild spills the adults come out of hiding lol Canadian species that hibernate as adults may live for eight to nine months. Other species may overwinter as eggs (and hatch in spring) or as larvae; in parts of Canada, these larvae may be ice-bound for six to seven months.

When I was a kid, my dad always's had a can of ashes inn the trunk when there was snow....

Hi Gypsy Jenna! You have been inspiring me for the past few weeks as I lead a very similar life to you. You are currently my motivation to finish things and see them through. I live alone with my 4 dogs and 2 cats in a small, old aluminum mobile home that I built myself. The winters are hard and you have to survive and see how it stays warm in the hut 😂 .. I installed a diesel heater in addition to my oven and I finished it today. There were some complications and your videos kept me going because I started to doubt myself and I was alone in this. Thanks to you I got it finished today and it's working! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing your thing ❤️ .. so I don't have to feel alone because hardly anyone understands my way into the forest. P.S.: sorry, I had to use Google Translator because I can't communicate well in English. ❤️

Thanks Jen . enjoyed the video.😊

Good going Jenna

Hello 👋 Jenna hope you are doing alright.try to stay warm. I really do enjoy your videos they are awesome take care and be safe.looking forward to your next one 😊

Jenna you have a beautiful place that's what I do setting around the campfire drinking a beer thanks for the video God bless you sweetheart amen

Thx for the great tip whereas I will have a wood stove soon and ashes are better than using space for kitty litter. I wish I was under a palm tree...

Waiting for spring as well

The wood pile will last until February 21. 🤷‍♂️🙏👍👍

You earned your cocktail hour clearing all that snow 🍸

Nice trick with the ashes especially on ice, you are brave, not sure if I could do that. 😊 NB 🇨🇦 CANADA 🇨🇦

we've been having a really warm and snowless winter here in eastern ontario

Just a thought, old cat litter works great when you get stuck.put some under your car tires😊

In Melbourne Australia at the moment it is 21°C blue skies and sunshine.

Just love your little place. ❤

Thanks for the snowball, it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit today in Central California (77 yesterday). We’re expecting rain for the next few days, so there goes the solar, but it beats snow! Stay warm and safe!

Even the slightest incline can get your car stuck. We park all the cars at the flatest part of the driveway or with a downward slant to ensure we can get out. Your wood shelter looks like you could get the car partially in? We also blanket our windshield. At super negative Temps, we add engine warmers and solar battery tenders fyi. Each year I add something new to my system. I like some of these other suggestions as well...

Oh girl that snow ball in the face was great 😂 I love your channel and love watching your life. I to am living on a piece of property in my rv. I'm in Southern B.C. in the Kootenays. We just went through -24 🤮 I hate winter to lol

I forgot to mention, Have you considered starting a veggie garden in the spring? May have to clear some trees, it would also make your home safer from trees breaking in storms. just an ideal :)
