Will Our Jackery and Electric Blanket Keep Us Warm During a Power Outage?
This video is about how we can use our 12 volt electric blanket and Jackery to stay warm when we camp in cold weather. These items can also be used during a power outage if you have sun to recharge the battery bank, you can have hours of heat from the electric blanket.

Grow Food Anywhere Without Equipment. All You Need is Grow Bags, Soil, and a Shovel

This video is about how you can easily grow food in grow bags. You don't need any tools. All you need is a shovel and some soil and you can grow a bounty of food. I love the versatility of using the grow bags. While they do dry out quickly, using the milk jugs helps to keep them watered. #homesteading #gardening #hoophouse # farmlife

    Question- how do you fit/ where does your head go to watch tv? Are you sleeping east/west or do you have to lean back against the cabinets? Leaning against the cabinets looks like it would be very uncomfortable. Great video and beautiful camper!!

    • @gigiplusthebeard
      @gigiplusthebeard Před 4 dny

      We sleep east to west with our head on the side with the door. The tv is to the right side of the foot of the bed when we sleep. The bed is too short to sleep with the head under the cabinets. It works for my husband that is 5’10”, but it is a bit short for my son-in-law that is 6’1”. Lay down in it and try it out before you buy one to see if it works for you.
