I like the stretches of silence in between the dialogue and the sounds from your everyday living in nature and when you work (very calming actually. I don't even think your vlogs need the background music).I could totally see your journey as a documentary one day. Keep up the hard work. Rooting for you both.

Right now I'm thinking how awesome fresh apple pie would taste. Heck, I'm making myself hungry watching this! A lot of work went into it but now look at it! Beautiful.

  •  Před 3 lety +7

    I would imagine back in time when it was common for people to grow their own food, find a safe source of water, gather wood for heat, and trade excess goods for money or needed supplies, there wasn't much time left in a day to relax. It must have been a very hard life with little time for the activities we take for granted in the lifestyles we live today. It appears that if you're not working towards one thing to provide a food or heat source for the future you're working on a project to expand or increase your ability to provide for next year. From watching your channel I've gained a little insight of how much work it must have taken for early settlers to carve out a new life in the wilderness. What I've come to understand is how much easier life is in modern times as we work our jobs and pay for the things we need and take for granted as we reach out and pick the goods we need to survive from a shelf at a store. But in reality I think we all take for granted the hard work it must have taken to carve a life in the wilderness for our forefathers. Good luck and I hope some time in the near future you're able to find a way to create some time to take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you without thinking about the next project 👍

    Nicole seemed a little somber this time - have no insight as to reason, but something to consider. Maybe a friend could come to visit- something social? I know Jake chops a lot of wood. I keep wondering if there isn’t a more efficient way to get logs closer to the yurt, and use a gasoline powered splitter. You lay the log section on it, pull a handle, and a wedge flies partway into the end of the log, splitting it. This can be done to process a bulk of wood nearer to the storage rack. Need a small flatbed trailer that you can load up with log sections, then winch or drive the trailer to where you want to deliver the wood - this assumes a reasonably clear roadway or space up to the yurt. Throwing logs and ingots is a recipe for torn arm tendons, rotator cuff surgery, or displaced vertebrae and discs. You are strong when young, but can you do this when you are 65+ ? I’m all in for the solar energy methods. A small wind turbine seems good too - an old APU from a plane, swivel-mounted on a pole, might be a good power generation method. Love to you guys! Things have come soooo far. Just don’t forget to stay in touch with people - we are social creatures - women especially - beauty in the plan! ❤️

    Watching Jake pick plums and DROP them in the basket and shouting, "DON'T DROP THE FRUIT!!!" , it will bruise! Thus leading to a loss of nutrients, the soft crushed parts will be much more prone to breeding mold and bacteria, especially if you plan to dry it. Just thought might want to know. I can only imagine how good it must smell walking into your yurt, with all those wonderful goodies drying! I love your videos Jake and Nicole.

      I did see the power lines over your head as you were talking about solar energy. We have 6 large solar panels and feed energy back to the grid but being connected to the grid is helpful during long dark winter months.

    In the spring top your fruit trees. It will make the base stronger and more plentiful. Plus makes the top of the trees fruit easier to harvest. Also the fruit on the ground floor will bring in wildlife. Also gathering the ground fruit for composition for gardening

    Yes and a friend of mine used a bicycle mounted stationary with a belt running a high output vehicle alternator off of an ambulance and that went into a bank of deep cycle batteries which ran through an inverter. He used this as a backup charging system because we live in the southern Appalachian Mountains which is also known as a rain forest. Awesome video, thank you

    The mechanical advantage of 4 or 6 pulleys could use a simple rope length into a wood bucking “machine” by lifting a broad, weighted axe head. Lifted above chopping block.. a tie off or a break on another of your pulleys

    It looks like you have the solar panels connected in parallel, which means more current is generated. Portable power stations typically have fairly low limits when it comes to input current, so you would likely not get the maximum power input from the panels due to current limiting.
    One of the BIG advantages of the new Bluetti AC200 is that it can take higher input voltage from solar panels, which you get when they are connected in series instead of in parallel. It's actually a simpler connection too, with fewer parts required. If you connect your 2 275W panels in series, you would likely get better power input and therefore charge up more quickly, as long as both panels are fully in the sun (i.e. no shade on them).

    Make a wood carrying backpack, Nicole. Set it waist high to load and carry more using your legs instead of your arms. Safer and easier. Make break away arms for it so u can just pull a string to unload it without taking it off, then back to the pile to reload.
