Prepper Tip: If you are interested, look into buying a dehumidifier, connect its drain to a 55 gallon container (connected to larger containers if you wish), and then using solar power you can pull water right out of the air for free thereafter. Throw a filter inline somewhere and you'll have some pure drinking water as well.

I recommend you cut the trees and vegetation at least 3 feet in all directions to open up the road and allow it to dry out quicker. Then with most of the logs you can cut them into 7 foot lengths and stack them to dry for fire wood. As log as you manage your forest correctly you’ll have damn near an unlimited supply of fire wood

Investigate just how much area "that little creek" is draining. They can become a raging river in just a few minutes in the right set of thunderstorms. Big sand bars and hollowed out holes in the turns in the creek are good evidence of that. One of those things that mountain people have to contend with.

And when it comes time to repair the damage, BEWARE of the Dept. Of Evironmental Protection.....They wiIl come and tell you you cannot bring any equipment near the widened stream because you may disturb the "endangered snails", or the like.

Next time you go shopping, pick up a jar of "Organic unrefined virgin Coconut Oil" in the baking section. I use Walmart brand. Use it to repeal mosquitoes by spreading it all over your bodies. You will smell nice, and the bugs keep away. Just don't store this in your kitchen cupboards...grin. Keep it in the bathroom. Also, if you find a farmers market, you might be able to buy big clippings of Mint. Chop it up and sprinkle around your door, and other places where you sit, hang out. It helps keep the mosquitoes. If you can find a local garden center, or a road side stand, you might be able to buy the whole plant. Plant it everywhere around the front of the trailer.

The creek offers the potential of creating a hydropower source. If you are able to damn up an area you can then build a simple water mill that will spin and create electricity. A basic washer machine only needs 110. I connected a pump to an IBC tote to draw water into a pressure tank. That tank fed the water into a micron filter and a UV filter. The clean water is stored in 55-gallon barrels. They also make a countertop filter called Burkee that you dump water into and it comes out potable. The pressurized water is easily diverted into use by a porch-mounted washing machine. The water drains out into the garden. The soap used is designed for this purpose. Who needs a dryer when you can line dry for free and a lot faster. They also do make a washer and dryer combo that is all one unit.

There are a lot of really good comments and suggestions from folks. You folks, the producers of this channel are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work. Your kids are growing up so fast .

Simply amazing. A journey when you are my age you will appreciate. I’m 62 but did the same thing as you guys. Montana, Alaska, Utah and South Dakota. Nothing is easy but in the end, you look at what you accomplished but something calls you to test yourself again. Chase your dream. You only have one chance.

Hey guys, if you watch what the vanwives did for "power" at their place, it's a great idea for your place after you clear up the place, etc. If you do what they did, you guys won't have to pay for utilities. Nothing wrong with that and they grow their own food too.

I am so excited about this new property and looking forward to you bringing the new container to it. Your property is SO beautiful and you are so fortunate to have a creek running through it. And fireflies!!? I think you just bought a parcel from heaven! Congratulations (and thank you for putting together the vids every week :)).

A spicket can be installed at the bottom of the water tank. The gravity and water weight provide a good deal of pressure until it gets low. (just an informational comment)

Just in case I wanted to let you know my experience with that little washer you have. When I got it I looked on youtube for a tutorial and this young man did a fine job but he didn't mention rinsing the clothes. Upon further investigation I discovered that you are supposed to pour water over the clothes in that same spin area and then spin it to rinse. Hope that helps.

Being so close to the creek is perfect for setting up a small hydro electric generator to supplement and/less solar panels.

You should be using the creek water to fill your water tank, it could be clean enough to actually drink, but at worst to go potty and clean dishes.

Siphon pump from Tractor Supply with a standard collapsible garden hose would solve your water transfer problem.

@ikaruseijin01 10 ай бұрын

Exactly, as long as the opening of the water fill in the camper is lower than the water tote then that's the way to go. You just have to get the water up and over the edge of the tote and gravity will take over.

That's just gonna attract the T-Rexes! lol Seriously though, couldn't they get some loggers in to help thin out some of the bigger tress? I'm thinking of Al Luhmna style of setup. It's a beautiful spot but I would be freaking about bears, poisonous snakes, coyotes etc.

@jamesmathews6711 9 ай бұрын

Spencer use a large round trash can lid. Cut a hole the size of the opening of the large white water tank. That should let the water flow into the tank. Given you more water.

My suggestion for water is to tap into your existing, or get another 12v water pump and pump from the 275 gallon tote into your camper holding tank. Or drain your 275 gallon tank into the trash can and use your existing pump.
