How am I able to be OFF GRID and do YouTube?

- I have always wanted to do a "behind the scenes" video, on how I alone make these videos possible. Even though my ambition is to be able to live totally without electricity, it is also to share it and inspire through CZcams (which has been amazing). Therefore I am into solar panels and batteries. I was able to test out EcoFlow's latest cutting edge battery, the DELTA Pro. Which I saw as a perfect opportunity to integrate into this video. This battery can run almost anything at your home. Now I recommend watching the other reviews on CZcams, as mine wasn't even near it's full potential. I just love being able to charge my CZcams gear outdoors fully from the sun, totally off grid.
This is my first sponsored video. I like when it contributes to the video, to me and to you. I will only do sponsorships that fits into the video and that I think interests you hopefully as much as it does to me.

This video contains a bit of a preview on my projects and what's to come in the series. You can see me edit the upcoming episode in this video. You will soon see how I have done the roof on the log cabin and later what that hole in the ground is used for.
The biggest question in this video:
Who is the new dog and is Alice fine?
Alice is part of our family and has been with me from time to time, but now she has puppies. I wanted my own 100% of the time dog. To be able to hunt with and go on all of my adventures. So here is "Barr" meaning Spruce Needle in Swedish. He is a German Shorthaired pointer "Vorsteh", bird dog.
DELTA Pro: $1999-$3599
DELTA Pro & 400W Solar Panel: $3838-$4798

I had to do this video now because EcoFlow is running a Kickstarter for this battery.

Your videos are amazing. Thank you for inspiring us 👍❤️🇨🇦
Excited to see Barr in future videos !
I would love to see you on some hunting adventures in the future. Keep up the good content
I’ve always loved the idea of living off the grid and it’s been really interesting seeing how you have been doing that
that is a lot of battery lugging my European friend
I really enjoy the quiet, silence, tranquility, no narration, no music. Just nature and you working with your tools. Simply awesome! Thanks, from Texas!
So happy to see you show us behind the scenes! And congrats on your first sponsor 💪❤️
Hi Kalle! Obviously I watch your videos! Tack så mycket 👍
Yes! Would love to hear more of Erik’s story on your podcast Kalle!
Even making videos is harder for him! This dude rocks
i dont know you guys but, watching this guy eating meat in the middle of summer "off grid" is starting to trigger some red alert. Im wondering if this isnt just all part of a big joke
@@geyjibill1441 You must be the only one that doesn't eat meat in the middle of summer. Wow.
I always appreciate the absence of talking. This was a super relaxing video with a cool insight into another aspect of the work you do at the build site.
Erik Grankvist, the axe throwing champion. I could watch a whole video just of your axe throwing skills and never get bored.
"Bárbarooo!!!! Bárbaro! Eres un bárbaro con el hacha!!!"
"Like a Barbarian with an axe!" ... sorry, couldn't resist, it's a fun really spread phrase in my homeland through a couple generations already, out of this classic animation short (czcams.com/video/Eqfp1jZpwxU/video.html). It's usually used to mean that someone is really good at something
:'D
what is that video? New here.
Yes, hotter than hell!
For all the skills you have at such a young age is just insane
Barr is so well behaved and adorable. My dog would constantly be trying to eat out of the pan. Thanks for showing this all.
He isnt really "lonely" just alone :)
Mine would have run away with the pan.. lol
@@andersnielsen6044 i never see u feed the dog when does he eat
Mines this way also .. he wants to food he just knows better and waits to be given it .
Bro I'm kinda jealous of you. Living in nature with a cool dog, building stuff. Congrats on 400k.
There's a certain irony in a guy who loves being outdoors so much, that he begins building a house so he can have fun out in the woods, to ultimately barely ever use the house once it's done, because he loves the outdoors so much.
Incredibly, I have watched all the videos so far. I'm too old to do this now, so I'm sort of living this dream vicariously thru you. I am looking forward to watching you finish the cellar and the rest of the work still to do.
Not only are you a skilled outdoorsman, you’re also great film make. People don’t realize how much work is put in to create a quality video…editing and all that. But you do it well my friend. Love the dog as well👍
I watch other videos where to make almost anything the reliance on power tools is nearly 100%, you however make fast work of almost every challenge you meet by use of your intelligence, skill and your physical strength and do the work in the 'old school' ways of our forefathers. Thank you for these videos showing these fine works completed by yourself alone in the forest, you are a truly admiral and inspirational young man..
LOL you really believe that?? What a team of workers and machines right behind the cameras... dreamer!!
@@mattb7412just because you cant build a cabin by yourself, in 3 years, doesn't mean someone else can't.
The craftsmanship of this cabin is just remarkable. 🤯
I wanna just hug Barr, he is just such a good doggo
This is my first time watching you,you are a very smart young man, I'm going on 70 and my husband and I move in the woods 20 years ago and I love it, we got an old cottage every year we add a peice to it now it's 36 x 24, I love working with wood I make wooden flowers, and bird houses,I'm working on my She Shed now. May God bless you and keep you safe.
I love seeing how capable and hard working this young man is. The youth of today could learn more about living/survival than any school ever could. Bravo 👏🏼
Barr is gorgeous!! I'm looking forward to watching him grow up. I hope Alice and her puppies are doing fine and I hope we will still get to see Alice from time to time. She's such a sweet little doggie!! Thank you for sharing this with us! 🤗❤
This is the very highest standard of video production - congratulations.
Watched you from day 1.What you have achieved with hard work and skill is most other people's dream nowadays. You're so lucky my friend to have a house with no "Letterbox for Bills".Keep the vids coming to give us all hope and inspiration.Again,Well Done!
Who do you think pays and owns the land?
@@shady1080 country of his location, maybe?
@@shady1080 Exactly, people are not realizing this is very hard to do, you need to know someone who owns land or own it yourself.
@@shady1080 yes too own the land,money before! It takes money to get too live like that! I wish I had that opportunity when I was younger. Loving the whole outdoor life.
your doggy is stealing the show, so adorable and without a doubt the dog is the star of this video
yup and poor Monchhichi 😥
@@cissnakeman ????
I live here in Brazil, and watch your video since the first one, I've shown it to a lot of friends, you're very good man.
Thank you Erik for making me dream during my little quarantine period. My first job was a carpenter. It was a pleasure to see you working with wood from start to finish and enjoying the beauty and serenity of your corner of paradise. What talent !! Well done and best wishes from Switzerland 🇨🇭
I am amazed in shock at the work you do! May the lord watch over you to keep you safe on your journey 🙏. Just heavenly amazing !!!!
Wild raspberries and cuckoos in your Swedish summer. How delightful, Erik! Campfire fried bacon and pancakes, followed by a hug from your canine dish-washer. ... how perfect! Lovely dusk skies too.
I find I really miss your videos, and your presence in general, when you don't upload so often. So it has occurred to me that when the day comes that you've finished the cabin, I will miss your activities quite sorely, I'm afraid! I'm hoping that even more and new adventures will occur post-cabin build?!?!
BTW...very impressive axe throwing! ⚒
Let’s see he will need a place to store firewood, outhouse, sauna, out door kitchen, tool shed, picnic table. Yes, us viewers will be entertained for quite a while , Yeah! ! ! !
I absolutely love that not a word is said in the making of this channel. What a calming experience.
I heard him say "ät"(eat) to his dog...
Was hoping for the drone you use.. I was disappointed... But then you pull out the ax throwing magic😍😍😍...I am fine now!!
Oh! And welcome Barr😊
13:40 That mosquito + headphones had me slapping at the air aimlessly. 😅
at your very young age it is almost impossible to do such thing like you did. keep inspiring the youth. ❤️🇵🇭
Thank you for the behind scenes vid. It seems everything you do is interesting, not just to me, but to alot of people. Be proud of your accomplishments there and enjoy life. We love watching your videos.
Now and again you get a CZcamsr who's worth watching , good videos , very entertaining and informative , I love the dog 🐕 too!
This is by far the best channel on youtube. You live the life many of my friends including me would love to live.
I will show this channel to all my friends that i'm hiking with in norway. I bet all of them would love this channel as much as me.
Keep up the great work Erik! Thanks for sharing this :-)
AMAN
Who is the new dog? Where is your little one Alice? Pheww! You let us know immediately. Barr is beautiful and loves his Daddy. Thanks for sharing your new addition.
Maybe you should start reading the description below the video before questioning..
@@andersnielsen6044 no need to be grumpy! I missed it in the description too
@@miarrem Back to school and come back when you are graduated..
@@andersnielsen6044 I don't read descriptions so maybe cry about it?
@@o0CalebBrown0o Nah I am just happy that you take the Darwin award of the day for free. Congrats.
If it wasn't for Erik's video's I'd never get any fresh air!
Härligt att se dig igen i ditt hörn av världen. Grattis till din fina livskamrat Barr. Oavsett ämne på CZcams så sätter jag stort värde kvaliteten på filmerna. Du är bäst i klassen.
You are a very talented young man! Fancy ax throwing! And your doggy is adorable. I am jealous of your beautiful cabin, and the woods are so serene. I would love to visit Sweden some day, as that is where my heritage comes from. Thank you for your hard work! Keep pressing on. God bless.
Enjoy your pup Barr! Such loving and loyal dogs and fantastic for a high energy young man like you. If you can train them for separations then on the rare occasions they can't be with you, your family will thank you!
Omg Erik, I don't know what I love more about that video. Whether your beautiful home office (haha), an adorable puppy, or the perfect throwing of axes. Good work! Progress with the cottage also looks very good, I'm guessing that the hole that must have been hard work will be a cellar for food supplies. I can't wait for the next video! Good luck in the future, good luck! 👍🏻👌🏻❤️🌲🌲
Great video Erik. Your dog is a star also. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Erik, you r changing your looks. Getting older now. Congrats!🍁🍁🇨🇦
Your axe trowing skill is ameizimg...👏👏👏
Thanks Erik. Having a good friend to help out is always a bonus!
I like the calmness in your videos.
🇲🇽 México, te saluda!! Erick!! Muy bien tú! Me gusta mucho tu cabaña! Felicidades!!
I've aways wondered about your "behind the scenes", what tech you used, and how you used it. Your sponsors must be really happy with your extensive video of their products.
Great video, as always. Can't wait to see what happened to the roof!
The hatchet throwing will come in handy someday, when you want to? Olympics...... I really like your first sponsor, i love the setup....
I enjoy listening to the silence with many birds calling. Being in that environment where you live would be very enjoyable and peaceful. In the past I would ride my bicycle up into the mountains , stop, and enjoy the same. Until I had to return to the city.
Erik I always love your content. Your at the cabin and in the beautiful woods, what’s not to like. The area is incredible. Keep up the good work. Barr is great. A perfect fit to you and your life style. Awesome video Erik! 👍👍👍. That solar panel and power supply is incredible. Solves a lot of problems off grid. I will check it out. Where I am here in Maine USA we loose the power a lot in winter. I don’t want a generator this might be the perfect fit. 👍
Do you have any podcasts about how you do all this? I'd listen to you talk about it for hours this is fascinating
Love your new 4 legged companion, he's very cute :) ......... and your axe throwing skills ... are on point, Sir!!
Doesn't say a word and still has a better sponsor plug than most CZcamsrs.
I’m amazed at all you have accomplished in your short time on this earth. You are truly an unique individual and a lesson for all of us lazy people who dream but don’t do anything about our dreams. I wish you a long and fulfilling life. Please keep videos coming.
That was some impressive axe throwing!! Wow!! Great video - adorable puppy ❤
You are incredibly skilled and you're so young, I'm amazed, loved your video and really love watching you put this together! You are an amazing young man! Thank you for sharing yourself and what you do! 😊
Your looks, your ability to work on your cabin by yourself, and your ax-throwing skills. Now I'm hooked and your new subscriber. Hugs and kisses from your fan here in Manila, Philippines. Take care always.
Very good video my friend. A good way to enjoy nature helped by technology. Congratulations. Very nice dog yours!
Great video---no music, only nature's 'song' as background. Well, those and the thunk of your axes hitting the tree stump, lol. Somehow, I seem to have missed you putting the tiles on the roof. Looks like I have some searching to do to find that missing episode. Keep up the good work, Erik. It calms my soul to see a young someone keeping old skills alive.
No, you didn't miss the roofing episode. He says in his post at the top and in the description of this video, that this behind the scenes video is foreshadowing two things: the roof and the hole.
Thank you
If only all sponsored videos were like this. This was a perfect and Barr is so sweet and well behaved. Love when I see clips of him playing with his little squeak toy. I’m glad you took Alice into consideration and let her raise her babies full time. You can tell a lot about someone by the way they treat animals. Thank you for the lovely video Erik.
It's hard for me to wait for your next video, the roof look great, sorry I missed its construction. Ooh getting all modern on us, solor how great is that, the new pup is beautiful, looks like he will good company for you in the wilderness. Looking for the next video, can't wait, lot or luck. Till next time, Bye
You have done well in building your cabin and provided us with some knowledge. Your cabin is well built and will stand the test of times. Keep up the good work. From down under Australia.All the best and stay safe at all times..
Congrats! To be able to start this way of living at your age, it´s a huge achievement. The best to you!
Wonderful video Erik I love watching you living the great life in your fabulous country keep safe good friend.
Your talent, skills and attitude are amazing !
Absolutely adore videos like this with little or no unneeded vocal commentary over them, I feel that they can detract from some of the experience at times. Keep doing what you do, you're doing good.
Nice to see you again, I've missed your Cabin build lately ... Your new dog is sweet. Loves the piggy! lol Wow, your throwing skills are excellent!
Great video, thanks. And congratulations on the new puppy.
Kudos to your skills,be it the craftsmanship or the filming/editing . So very well composed! I couldn´t help myself detecting a strong resembelance of Shawn James´s Self Reliance videos. What you have built has come a far way and I´m very interested in all that you will show in the future. Very well done !!
You seem much better prepared than most for what is heading Europe's way in the coming months and years. Best of luck to you, man, and I hope you prevail over whatever hardships. 👍
He is a little too primal for me he really needs to get with technology. He could have built his log cabin in 25% of the time if he used power tools which he could have powered off solar panels which he will need anyways he says that he wants to move away from electricity but that is ridiculous because it’s completely unnecessary if you have unlimited electricity from the sun.
I am glad to see that he has strong solar panels and a solar generator I think he should be using a instant pot and other electronic appliances that way he won’t need to cut wood every time he makes food and sit there for half an hour before it heats up and then another two hours until it cooks. This guy is an absolute legend but I think if he combines newest technology with what he has he can be living in a Wonderland
@@ZxAMobile Well, then it would be no sport..
@@ZxAMobilegood thing this is his wonderland and not yours 😊
I love the peacefulness and tranquility of your channel, videos and lifestyle. Your dog is so beautiful and very well behaved. YOu can see the rich bond of love he has for you!
Congratulations You won a Price DM to claim your package
Hello Erik. First of all I doubt you will probably read this with so many comments on every video, but on the off chance that you do, I want to express my great respect for your independence and versatility in craftsmanship. Most of all I love your passion for the wilderness and living far away from the commotion and crowdedness of city life. I hope to be able to watch your videos in years to come. Perhaps by then you will have your own groceries and an irrigation system from collected rainwater or similar, or perhaps you will have built a work shed or an additional room to your cabin. Either way keep doing what you do. Greetings from Germany.
Congrats on your first sponsor. i like your outlook - to do without electricity. you building a cellar for storage?
Phenomenal dedication and skill!
I’m amazed at what you’ve done.
All the best!
I was born for this I’m certain.
It’s seems normal?? 🤷🏻♂️ I can’t explain it, all I know for sure is i would easily adapt to this way of life.
Loved it! Thank you for taking the many hours to record, edit and share with all…
Stay safe 🇬🇧
I always appreciate the nature shots that you pick.
Love the cabin
As i watched your video once, and believe me i couldn't stop myself watching all of your videos in a day , i really feel inspiring watching you working so hard and how you manage everything by your own, lot of things to learn from you bro ....Thank you 😍 love from India 😇😇❤
What a beautiful dog nothing like sleeping with a nice warm dog a little rain on the roof what a wonderful life real paradise Keep on being real
Living off grid is my dream! I'm not envious but props to you. I hope you are having a good time.
please tell me im not the only one who swatted at their head when the fly buzzed the mic during the creek scene lmao completely forgot i was wearing headphones thought a dang ole fly got in
Lol. Me too.
How i long for this way of life away from all the tyrannical threats.Just the sound of birds,babbling brooks and wind..Mental medicine.
Mosquitoes though...
I feel the same as you. It's 2021, almost 2022 and we still deal with the same political bullshit that was dealt with through all of history. It literally brings a tear to my eye knowing I will never be as free as he is. I'm living in "the land of the free" yet I'm a slave to taxes, a slave for paying for another's way of life, a slave to the political games that happen on a daily basis. I hate being alive.
Nothing’s stopping you except you’re trapped in a capitalist mindset
@@JohnDoe-l1kmya5s hope your doing a bit better with things John, it’s a shitty world we’ve made for ourself but we can’t let it get to us
always so nice the absence of talking, thank you!!! Great content
Erik Grankvist, your axe skills are amazing! Honor and respect for master level development.
This is how you promote a sponsored product. Show how you use it and let people figure out how it will work for them. Seems like every other CZcamsr just wants to talk about what they promote - Well done Erik. Also Barr looks like he's gonna be a great dog and your skill at training him is exemplary. Great video and I can't wait to see what's next - especially with what you're doing in the cellar.
I’m so happy to see you again!!! Missed your videos. How did you put the roof on without me seeing it?!?! Ahhh. I just read your comments and it all makes sense!!! Welcome to Barr. ❤️
hi Eric, i have just recently followed you on your CZcams channel, very interesting. I am glad that Alice is doing great, and i am so excited to see you also with a new dog Barr, he is so sweet, well discipline. Please take care of him 100% and give him all the foods he like in the woods, while adventuring with you. I can only imagine how he gets hungry since he’s very active. Love what you do and Barr.
German pointers are awesome, had one too. She was so loyal, gentle and very smart! Perfect dog for hunting aswell as companionship.
Great work, Erik! I love your videos, they are inspiring me a lot.
I'm wondering whether you'll also build a chimney and oven, for the cold winter days.
Looking forward to your next videos! Stay safe
The hut is looking really good, it's cool to see the progress :) And nice to see the behind the scenes
Totally Awesome Erik!!! I’ve been watching your videos since day one. The way you were raised with the knowledge & love for the land is Fantastic. I have such a Calming feeling inside me hearing Mother Nature in the background while you work. We sit watching you patiently trying read your mind & actions for your next moves. Your cabin is looking Beautiful. Ban looks Great, he looks like my dog Jake. :)) I’m Always looking forward to your next video. Keep up the Great work Erik. Most of the kids here in the big cities of the USA don’t get it & will never get it. Be safe out there. 🙏🏻 Ed D. Plainfield, Illinois USA
its not only impressive that and how you build your House yourself, BUT i also have to thank you Sir, for all those very nice Landscape footage you provided, most all of them make extremely nice Wallpapers for my Desktop, again Thank you Sir for those
Absolutely love these videos! Thank you for sharing another great one!
The mosquitos at 13:42 to 14:13 gave me heartattack
Love the axe throwing at the end Erik... Now that's super fun cool skill you have there!
Helvete vad grym du är Erik.
Your videos are incredible! Always thought it would be great to build a cabin, and seeing you do it makes me want to do it even more
I just watched a previous video of yours, and I thought to myself. "Man, I just cant imagine Erik sitting down at a computer and editing videos and uploading content." BAM! here the video is, showing what I said to myself. CZcams is indeed spying on my thoughts not just my internet history thus making these videos all the more important so I can disappear into the wild and away from google.
Excellent Work! I absolutely love your videos - a lot of hard work and time goes into producing them! The Cabin looks amazing! Looking forward to your next video! All the Best...
The dog is great!! He just so wants to help, lol. He seems very smart and alert. ✌️
Congrats on your first sponsored video Erik 👍🇵🇭
Nice video as usual. I have to say that the quality of your video is getting better and better. Colouring,, more smooth aerial views and so on.
