the power rating of solar panels are tested in what is called STC (standard test conditions) which is the best scenario the panel can be in. So the highest peak output will range between 90-95% of what they say. In normal conditions they’re aroung 80-85%

Solar panels are rated “STC” standard test conditions, 1000W/sq meter of sunlight and 77F air temp, with a perfect 90 degree incident angle. Not a goood representation of reality. Good work this is fun to watch!

There is plenty of water in the air and usually some wind, check into methods to harvest water and energy at point of use; create limited distribution between groups of cells so if one is low it can pull from the next closest one. In particular, I think there are designs of small air collectors/concentrators that also have some amount of water as a byproduct - some experimentation should yield better water quantity results; the power is a simpler problem that's been solved many times already. Once those are solved, then you can eliminate paper waste by installing bidets as *all* the components of a smart toilet (heater, airflow, water, music, etc) are contained in the *seat* since the rest is made of porcelain. I investigated this for camping, to improve our latrine when we're out for weeks at a time during bow season (I don't hunt but I'd rather be outside, any weather, always). Turns out for a single unit I could get the unit cost down to about 200 bucks; if someone wanted to buy 5 or 10 that is probably a lot less and something maybe even a smaller sponsor could cover. Blame the algorithm that this didn't show up on my sidebar sooner lol I try to stay subbed but YT limits subscriptions or at least gets real flaky about them once you get over 800-900 channels (pretty easy to do these days).

the bidet looks like it would fit, they are meant to be very adjustable by turning those circles. maybe drill a new hole if not?

You must be new at Northern living? You need to put a checklist for closing every winter of things that must be done like draining the water system:) congratulations on your purchase and progress. Can’t wait to catch up on the rest of the videos.

Hilarious narration bro. I also love the sponsor intro, very smooth.

Flipping the Toilet sign was EPIC!!! How do you prevent the new Filter system from blowing up again? Dude...I have a Tushy!!! They work great! There is a small learning curve it just how to use it....but I just love mine....Plus having a clean ass is just the best....way better than using TP....I only use TP to dry off with.....+ You will never want to use any other toilet!!! Glad you still remember how to ride! The trails look great! I'm way jealous of your SRAM transmission....my bike does not have a UDH ;-(. Thanks Brian!

Hey Brian why don't you put pressure relief valve before your filters that way if the pressure starts to build it will go off and save the filter system.

My friend runs a campsite in the Alps, I helped him pack down last October. Last thing we did was open all the pipes and completely drain them. Never have burst pipes again :)

Yes 👍 I made the edit lol Can’t wait to go back.

Enjoying your videos. From Singapore

The annual, Bursting of the Pipes!😂

This is so fun! I started doing this down in the mountains of Santa Barbara a long time ago and have lived off grid for 24 years, these days I make a living off of water systems and off grid power systems and mountain biking is my most favorite hobby. On a road trip I would love to stop in for a short camping trip and a bike ride and my advice and knowledge is always free.

I love the Everstoke videos they are my favorite.

Love the everstock episodes! cheers bro!

Good lord I understand that advertisements and promotions are needed for the channel, but this one had so many more than usual !

Living the dream! People always laugh when you get the question 'what would you do if you won 10million? My response - buy a mountain! Build a Lodge & a Lift. Shred!

New bike day in the background?

I see lots of progression. Great video. I love these videos

They make a pex removal tool that makes it super simple to disconnect fittings rather than muscling them off 👌🏻. I think they have one that has multiple sizes or you can get the one for the specific size you use if you just have one diameter pipe.

Awesome

Do you ever worry about mountain lion attacks? I see them on your web cam footage.

Wohoo! First, an update from MTBing adventures and now from Brian. I don't know why I'm so invested in knowing what's happening in Everstoke. 😆

Just a couple of questions: are you open for visitors yet? And if so, how can I find the place?

If you ever want to switch your piping out for copper. We can solder or braze it in

Good stuff man, I'm looking forward to getting up there this weekend.

Geno told me about this property a year or two back. This is epic dude. Super excited seeing this footage of what's going on up there. This looks epic! I wanna come ride.

“But winter is coming” 😆

Dude, you are absolutely freaking ripped! I am jealous as hell! Excellent work on the property my brother.

I’m so excited to see where this goes and see it when it’s done! It’s such a cool thing that your doing and I guarantee it’ll be successful 😁

My friend works for a solar comany in the area and he was recently trying to sell a system that someone had installed to be off grid and decided that it didnt make sense for them and went on grid instead, not sure if he already sold it but it could be a good deal for you guys. I found it, it's just the battery system and was 81k new selling for 55k, I'm not familiar but that probably a huge system bigger than what you need.

Love it but it's not ready, keep it going

Gotta check out Myoscience electrolytes. Hands down a better product thank lmnt

aren't you supposed to drain water systems like that in the winter?

Do you have a map of the Everstoke trails? if you do, it would be nice if you put it in your next video about Everstoke, so people could better understand the video

Why don't you wrap your pipes with insolation?

This is such an amazing project! I can't wait to see this continuously growing. I wish you all the best with Everstoke :)

The toilet works so well, I should update the ones at our house. The New and improved Grumper also makes a good changing room.

Plastic from Uncle Dennis is fantastic. Really glad he could make it up to Everstoke.

Lag your pipes and insulate the shed where the valves and filters are.

This was great...and reassuring that it's not just me that this stuff happens too...

hey what's your education background dude?

You had me at "There's some mountain lion paws; fresh tracks!" What do you carry with you on the trails in the event of running into dangerous wildlife, like mountain lions, bears, etc?

Dude! You missed the opportunity to say, “get us over the hump with this septic pump so we can take dump.” Anyway, keep up the good work.

Hola, saludos desde Bogotá Colombia, ojala nuestra geografía entre en tu agenda, siempre bienvenido !!

Cool cats already enjoying Everstoke

love these vids!

I tried a bidet in Korea, not a fan. Also the seats are heated...

Putting on the channel that random people poop all over the property is a bad marketing plan. I would have hidden that.

as you heard for others I am sure, windmill? let me know if you need help with that. I doubt it. and yes I know all about the wax seal...

Lmnt is no good. Salt with flavor, over priced

I can't wait to see the finished product! Also, never been on a trail where mountain lions are an actual threat. They're very rare here. Maybe I'll crash, maybe I'll get mauled to death. That actually makes it more exciting.

Hey Brian. How do you like riding your new enduro bike vs. a trail bike?

I'll poop off a cliff, and I'll poop off a dock, but I'll be damned if I poop off the clock.

I think at this point I would’ve gone with an outhouse or a composting toilet for Everstoke

The trials are coming along. I know you've done some hard work out there but the trial design is kind of poor. You should really ask Seth to fly out and ride the trails. I say this as constructive criticism, you guys are Novice trail builders. You've never built BMX jumps (at spots like Sheep Hills or Twin Palms or the Mini Glen) nor have you built BMX berms at tracks like Orange Y or Coal Canyon. These are the things that early MTB riders have done and why they were so successful at building MTB trails in the early 90's. Today you have a handful of professional companies that install this stuff but if you don't want to hire a pro you should really take the route of the early 90's MTB riders. Donate your time at a Bike Park or BMX track to learn how. Your turns come up too fast without any features to slow the rider you have zero jumps and theres really no flow. I'm don't trying to get you down I just think back to when I was 12 and never built a bike jump before and they sucked. Then I think of when I was older, and had dozens of spots leveled by the city, and how good the later jumps were. Its night and day. Building trails and jumps and berms takes time and repetition.

Any plans on buying the neighboring lot?

You probably shouldn't run the bleach into your septic tank....

My bidet is one of the greatest purchases I ever made

R/C rock crawlers near the outhouse next video!

Now, remember, when you shut it down for the winter. DRAIN EVERYTHING! Pressure tank, filters, all traps . . . Including the toilet trap, many forget that, or you'll be replacing the china throne next season. And yes, the foam ring is much better than old wax rings. As I've said before, insulation is your friend, don't be afraid to use it. Overall, KUDOS on the work done at the vacation property! Maybe find a local maintenance guy to check on it from time to time, especially winter. A sled ride up and back, just for a eyes on once a month or so for a heads up on any issues.

Wax rings are weird

this style of narrating most of the video is obnoxious.

GRUMPER FLUSH !!💩 Ooo! We have the same tushy bidet. It's the shit! We love it. Never going back.
