We can pump water directly to our spring and right into our Rv! That's right! We found a temporary solution for holding water down at our spring and pumping water up the hill into our main cistern. From there we pump it into our RV. This temporary solution will hold us off through the summer until we can get a more permanent solution in place.
We also prep our garden for planting and get some vegetables in the ground.

One huge tip, make a portable soil screen. Its excellent for mixing and separating clumps, roots, rocks and ect. It literally becomes an above ground sifter mixer. Best thing I have used for compost/dirt. Just move and scoop whatever, however - by hand or bucket skidsteer/tractor. I do this every year and its a huge time saver.

The start and ending of natural beauty is a reminder of why you are there in the first place. You show your successes and processes but the reality of just how much hard work is involved will never be actualized in a video. I commend you on your daily hard work and problem solving skills. But the most beautiful of all is that you are so well suited to work, play, support, and love together. A rare sample of what a real relationship is supposed to be about.

A tip for working with that plastic tubing…if you have access to some sand, fill the section of tubing you are working with the sand. Temporarily cap the ends, then when you put the heat to it you should be able to bend the tubing without the risk of kinking.

Guys can you dig out the ground about 6 inches deep lay gravel then set the pallet on the gravel so it's still ground level and then sit the tank on top of the pallet ? This would allow you to still keep the tank from sitting on the ground itself. Just a thought 🤔 💭 i had. Man that spring water 💦 looks cold 🥶 and delicious 😋

Great work!!! Your garden is looking great! Isn't it fun to finally get your hands in the dirt. We live in the Peninsula of WI. Our temps have been upper 50's and 40's at night till last week of May. Finally 60s! I planted just 2 days ago. 60's and a couple days of 70 in next 10 days, 50's at night. New garden, new area to grow. So this first year will be a surprise. BUT gardening is awesome!!! I hope your garden grows alot of food for this winter. I love your channel!!!

Hi a tip for growing the peas if you get some kitchen roll soak it squeeze the excess out wrap the peas in it keep it moist and the peas will sprout 🌱 then you can plant them out guaranteed 100° germination and speeds the growing time up I hope this helps same with your other beans

@northtoalaska2022 13 күн бұрын

Thank you for the tip! We ended up getting really luckily with this year! I think we had about 99% germination with the peas! Last year, they definitely could have used a soaking. I will keep this in mind for future planting 😀

Yes, the * average temp can vary between 46 degrees to 65 degrees, however summer time it definitely gets up to 80 defrees and hotter in Alaska, even in Kenai. Been there too, been from ine end to the other in AK, for 5 years I spent time there, and every season. Your garden looks really good, glad you went with a tall fence around it. Id install loud battery alarms or bells on your fencing, the bears, mtn lions comminly seen every year there, the, lynx - native there, and a occasional jaquar will go right over a tall fence, and theyll dig under too in AK. LOOKING GREAT!

You could for idea for a permanent idea with the spring is dig a hole about the size of tank to bury the tank about ten meters to the side of the spring and tape the water into it ,this can be emptied in winter by just turning on a drain

I didn't notice one in your video, but if you haven't installed an anti-backflow valve on your waterline you might want to. It just keeps your long run of pipe from emptying itself every time you shut the pump off, and then having to refill all of that pipe when turned on. Your videos are so great. Just a couple working towards a common goal with no typical KZfaq BS and drama. A great life in Alaska is ahead of you.

It amazes me how many people who attempt to luve off grid, use White PVC Pipe for WATER. To use gardening or mixing crete etc., is one thing but PVC is very highly toxic for human consumption and its only to be used for OUTGOING WATER, NOT INCOMING WATER FOR CONSUMPTION, FOOKING, BATHING. I hope you hoth knkw this. The framing is awesome, id used a 1 inch flooring but the framing is beefed up nicely. You CAN install.a inexpensive dry well, shallow well, sand well, or two for clean safe water consumption and bathing, the garden, cleaning etc. Outdoors, id put in ine lift handle cast pump woth threads to connect a water hose, and another hand pump for water consumption, after you take samples in and the test comes back safe to consume. Im impressed with all tve nuce equipment you have too, very nice, a real game changer. Best wishes.

When applying mesh screens around a pipe or anything in your case can do it more like a lose sock shape and then tie it down around the pipe. That way you significantly increase the mesh capacity in case large amounts of sediment comes and clogs it.
