Re: hi y'all
Welcome to the forum! Another approach to paneling could be using plywood of any thickness. This is what I began doing last Oct/Nov in my "off-grid playground," of which I've made many posts here on the forum's off grid living page about. It would be easy to sand down to smoothen given you got a pal...

Re: Congrats on abandoning the YT comment cesspool!
Have one page for all your videos and everybody making a comment would be a reply. To get you to know it's about an older video, tell them to say something like, "This comment pertains to your XYZ video," at the start of the reply/comment. It would be easier than going through let's say 1,000 differ...

Gas vapor powered stuff increase MPG a ton
I saw some videos on youtube that have enough evidence for me to believe this. I know nothing of gas powered stuff, but for those that do, here's a youtube video of what I saw. More quick searches will yield other results as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58IkmPK6ikc" onclick="window.open(thi...

Re: Solar powered freezer
Looking at the price, it seems quite expensive for Troy, but I don't know his finances. Something like as shown in

will help out if there is no propane fridge. He's also got a 12V cooler I think.

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
Today and yesterday yielded about a total of 4 inches of snow (so far). It snowed just under an inch of snow yesterday from 7-8:30AM and we got some ice/sleet before that which lasted from 2-6AM. It all melted quickly and the roads were dry before round two. Round two yielded about 2 and a half inch...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
Today, it was the first day I got to watch the snow fall at the playground. The snow wasn't in the forecast whatsoever, but it was nice seeing all of the snow, sometimes at a good rate, fall while looking out the big window. It was just a dusting that fell here, but since it was 14 the night before ...

Re: Solar furnace
I'm trying to do something constantly worth uploading. If not, I get real bored, hence part of the reason why I even did the playground project. I have a feeling they're going to be slowing down soon with upcoming rain/ice/snow again next weekend. I recently just made a playlist about my passive hea...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
I feel honoured for you to say that, since for the past year and a half now, I've been watching your videos and taking some advice. I really do hope to be in a house I built by myself so I can get some real building experience in and not little things such as a table on hinges, or a heater, or a mob...

Re: Solar furnace
I would completely recommend anybody who wants to try it as a backup heat source, even for on-grid homes. I built one and it was finished December of last year I think and I would definitely go through the trouble to make it again. I used 50 something cans to make my "Sprite can heater" as I call it...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!
I sure hope so on the last part! I've never known until your comment there was some other form of an electric dehumidifier. If I saw that word before, I probably thought Peltier was a brand, not type, of dehumidifier. I could see myself in the future using one of those things, but for now, I'll just...
