Off Grid with Chris and Kristie
Канада
Добавлен 23 сен 2021
In pursuit of a simpler existence, we have started a new adventure. Off Grid life in Northern Canada sometimes proves to be challenging, but always worth it.
Featuring our lake front cabins totally off grid, here in Northern BC. And our new home that we purchased sight unseen, to move to the property and pursue living full time off the grid, where the temperatures reach -40.
We will be sharing parts of our daily life, adventures, challenges and experiences with reviving and honoring these gorgeous cabins, and making a go at fully off grid life. In a place where nobody else lives this way.
Check us out for videos about all things off grid in the north... with a sprinkle of other awesome things we get up to!

Hi there! Happy New Year to you as well. Thank you for commenting! We appreciate it a lot. 😊
Argh skunked! But cool drone shot coming back to the cabin! Happy belated Chris!
@@CabinDweller we are the worst lol
Crap....I told my self I wasn't going to do this multiple comment thing again....but now I hear its Chris's birthday the other day.....So Happy belated birthday . WOOT WOOT as well. Alright....on with the video
Haha keep commenting! We love it 😍 Chris says thanks! Next Christmas is the big 5-0!
@@OffGridWithChrisandKristie Big WOOT WOOT to 50, I hope I make it there someday, LOL. Great fireworks too
Before I turned my Ice Auger into a hole auger here at the off grid property I was known to drill MANY MANY Holes.....I'm talking like 20-30.....I hit them all for 2-3 minutes then jump to the next one.....bounce around and find them. This also lets the hole calm down after drilling it and when you find the hot hole you stay there.
Jay… we never find a “hot hole” hahaha Also we aren’t patient. At all. The entire time we are out there we are just thinking about how we could be doing ANYTHING else Our auger doubles as a hole auger haha and that’s a much more productive use honestly Come on up sometime and we will take you ice fishing lol
@@OffGridWithChrisandKristie You'll take me out to stare at a dark hole in the Ice....Lets me honest now. LOL. Hope you guys have a great new year
@@OffgridwithJayandJen hahaha well we could have a beverage or two and then stare at the hole. Honestly. That’s the only reason we go “Ice fishing”
The twins look good ! Happy Birthday Chris 💥, Love the Allpowers solar unit that will work great at your cabin 👍, Happy New Year !!
Thank you! The twins are going to be a wonderful addition to Chris’s little vintage fleet! We are so excited about the solar generator. So so simple!
👍☃️🎂🎄
😊yea! We have so much to celebrate. thanks for the comment! Happy new year!
Happy New Years to you guys. Was a great looking soup and good showing of that power unit. Your big time now. Love the matching Tundras. Looking forward to maybe more video's on your riding destinations. Thanks, guys. like watching what you're up to, and we will be here for ya in 2025 .
Thanks Glen! We appreciate your support! That power unit is going to really make our lives easier for real!! Hoping to get some more warm weather to go try out the tundras! And maybe try ice fishing in a different lake haha Happy New Year! See you in 2025
Happy Belated Birthday Chris. Winnipeg has been having mild temperatures lately, -4 right now in the evening. Wishing you both all the best in the new year.
He says thank you for the birthday wishes. The break in the weather was wonderful for the Christmas week. Today was -17 this morning. So it’s getting back to “normal”
Richmond Hill Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 mild 9 high . Insane last weekend- 20 . Colder by weekend!! = sunny and blue sky . Happy new year 😅
We will take the -20 with sun and blue sky any day. Thank you for taking a minute to say hello… it means a lot to us. And the channel. Happy new year 🥳
Merry Christmas guys,enjoy ice fishing even if we get skunked lol.cheers

Merry Christmas to both of you!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Chris and Kristie! All the best to you both in the new year and here’s to some good fishing!
Thank you for the well wishes! Merry Christmas!
We don’t have to bring our lunch, we catch it 🦈🦞🦐🦀🦑😋. It doesn’t matter freshwater or saltwater. I’m always lucky. Have fun Be safe 🍻
That’s amazing!! We are a long way from salt water. But even it it were near, we probably couldn’t catch that either hahaha Merry Christmas!
Well you gave it a good try. Getting out and enjoying winter is the way to do it. Good times on snowmobiles. Was that a old motorcycle tow behind trailer. Sure is handy for that ice fishing. Memphis sure enjoyed seeing your pup running on the ice. Its nice to see your house all decorated up. Merry Christmas and hope the best to the start of a New Year. Spring coming garden season for you 2
That trailer was something Chris found in a field he was doing work it. He drug it home. I was not happy at first haha. But the conversion is super cool!! Merry Christmas to you and Wendy and Memphis!!
Good one guy's :) Nice to see you out trying to change your luck 😀, Beautiful sun shine at least for a couple hrs lol :) You old sleds sound pretty good, Love that tundra treat her well she will last for ever 👍, It was cold here but warming , I can watch your weather then I know what we will get in two days here at my cabin :)) Merry Christmas
Haha well get ready. Because the good weather is coming then!! Tonya the tundra is a great little machine. This summer we will have to give the tunnel a little hug, it’s starting to show some surface rust. But otherwise it’s in excellent condition! Merry Christmas! 🎄
It seems the only luck in your lucky hole is for the fish LOL . Merry Christmas to you as well , looking forward to next year.
Hahaha lucky darn fish!! Merry Christmas!!🎄
I loved the Video......some of my best memories with my brothers, friends, and Jen are from Ice Fishing. I look forward to slowing down a bit some day and hitting the lake again. Very Pretty video guys and fun hanging out with you as usual. I had to mention......when I read the title, then the video started with Chris Looking at the snowmachine, I thought he was spending more money on toys and you wouldn't be able to afford food. LOL I'm HAPPY it ended up being an Ice fishing adventure instead. Best wishes and Merry Chirstmas Again.
Hahaha 😂 That could happen, he does have a few toys! You should get out to a lake! The mini cabin will still be there when you return ❤️ Thanks for always cheering us on Jay and Jen. We appreciate you and your encouragement a lot. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
@@OffGridWithChrisandKristie Our Pleaure Guy....WOOT WOOT
@ WOOT WOOT
Why Don't you cover your now machines With a Tarp??? LMFAO........I just had to see what it felt like to comment that HA HA HA HA HA HA Merry Christmas guys
Hahahahaha 🤦🏻♀️ Good one. We can’t afford a tarp though. 😂😂 Merry Christmas to you two!! Looking forward to seeing where 2025 takes all of us off grid creators ❤️🎄

Merry Christmas to the Skunkers...LOL... and a Happy New Year...All the best from Niagara Falls !!!
@@James-tt7vg haha the skunkers 🦨 Maybe 2025 is our year to catch a fish 🎣 Merry Christmas 🎄 to you in Niagara!
Maybe the reason you skunk out is that you never sleep...It's 8.15 am here in Niagara so it must be around 5 am in BC...The fish must skunk you between naps while your fishin... LOL ...
@ hahaha we are very early risers that’s for sure. Right now we are getting up about 4-5 hrs before the sun rises lol. No time to waste, it’s Christmas vacation after all! 😂
Just a thought... if the snow is light and fluffy try using a leaf blower to clean off the snow off the solar panels.
@@debbiefaber1224 absolutely! We have a leaf blower. But it’s not a very good one. It’s hard to start (gas powered) so we usually just resort to the old fashioned way haha. Thanks for the idea, tips and tricks are always welcome!
Love the music!
@@patriciafuchs5970 YAY!!! Thank you! It’s a big part of our channel I think. We love the vibe it gives the videos ❤️ Thanks for taking a minute to comment your thoughts.
I love the music. You always create a great vibe in your videos. Awesome that you lose power and still smile. You have figured out life’s secret. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Thank you for the show.
Thank you! We definitely try to not sweat the small stuff! There’s so much to learn, and be grateful for. Thanks for your kind words. I think the music is here to stay ❤️⭐️

@ very cool! We saw some pictures yesterday from a friend who is living in Texas! It looks gorgeous down there right now. We are in our 3rd spell of -30 this winter already!! Texas sounds pretty sweet haha
@@OffGridWithChrisandKristie dang -30! stay warm 🌅
I have a similar setup but if you haven’t already you need to put the positive terminal of your main connection at the top and the negative at the bottom of the bus bar to equally charge and discharge the batteries. It’s called diagonal configuration for current sharing. Best of luck y’all! Love the vids!
That’s an awesome tip! Chris says “yep you bet, we’ve done that” We love hearing from people who are able to relate! And tips are always welcome! So thank you. Because if you don’t know, you don’t know!! Hope to see you again in the comments section! And welcome ❤️
