That's a happy dog.
That is a big tarp, and congrats on the sponsor...looks very cool! Solar is definitely something we need to start looking into. Hope you guys enjoy the upcoming weekend! 😀🍁
Thanks guys! Definitely helps!!! Have a great weekend!
Kayaking in ice, brrr. Love the cabin and free stuff, oh, and bacon.
Lol yes he gets himself into tricky situations! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Bacon 🥓 is always great. Breakfast, lunch or dinner 😁 Nice to see you get a sponsorship. It will be great for your fridge . Have an awesome week.
Thank you so much Lori! It was a nice sponsor for sure. ♥️✌️🇨🇦
Yay score on the tarp, the new #vatrer battery. Everything is better with bacon. 💪🏼🏕️🇨🇦🍁guessing to use the tarp over your equipment or machines to keep the snow off them and extra wood!!
Mmmm bacon! 😁
Off-Grid = 4o acres surrounded by BLM & National Forest. Mountain spring, 160 deep well and 600AH of 48V power powered by 12960 watts of solar with 6480 of solar panels not hooked up. Nearest town is 7 miles (11.27 km)
That's awesome guys. Aside from the solar and well (we're not there yet) our logistics are similar! We are on 50 acres with crown land all around us. Nearest town is 20kms (12 miles). We love it and can't wait to be there full time. The journey is tremendous!
My version of off grid is no utility bills. (And bacon).
@@mattandmouse obviously 🥓 🥓 🥓 🥓
1:02 um… I don’t think the work ever ends though 😅 Thanks for the battery review. We got the bluetti specifically because it was LiFePo technology. I love those - light and more stable. Wait - I can hook it up to my phone??? I’m sold Jason!❤😂
@@mattandmouse lol!!! He hates technology!
Yes, I don't like the "S" word. Lol
@@emptynest2travel 😆it's awesome as long as we don't have to drive in it!
Kayaking in ice? I would barely do it in the summer much less in the ice. I am afraid of tipping over, so definitely wouldn't want to tip in ice water! YIKES.
@emptynest2travel lol it's very relaxing if you take your time. But heck NO in the cold! Lol.
That's one BIIIGGG Tarp and a little buddy with it that's not exactly little. I'd say get some Grollia Tape lol. Looks like an awesome battery that I'm sure will come in handy for you guys. Hope you have an awesome week my friends.
Lol yeah the little one was even as big as our biggest flimsy tarp! We have gorilla tape but I wasn't sure it was going to be strong enough. We'll give it a shot! Thanks for watching my friend! ✌️♥️🇨🇦
hey guys, great review awesome battery. It looks like I think a couple of the most important parts and I’m learning quickly is water and heat. That tarp will definitely come in handy. Where do you patch it or cut it in dissections I know I have about 100 uses for it lol have a great week.
@exploringmybackyard heat is the easy part...water is tougher because we don't have space for an IBC tote in the cabin. We need to get building an insulated area to hold water stat! Yes, the tarp is really going to help us out in a few areas! Thanks for watching my friend! ✌️🇨🇦♥️
Great job guys awesome tarp. Fantastic review you rock.
@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid 👍
@ThompsonKell-xc5mz thanks Thompson!
I like bacon too 🥓 And I think I know what the huge white tarp is for.
@@OpenAirAdventure mmmmm bacon 🥓 😋
Very nice, thanks!
Awesome guy's 👍you needed a little Boost with some different things to try out :) Hope it does the trick for you ! Yes that's a big tarp I think I'd make smaller ones & still have a pretty big one that I can't lift lol :) Great wood crate just needs one side hinged to make unloading easier 👍, I got treated too, you will see tomorrow:)
@@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 awesome! That's exciting! Look forward to seeing it!
Also...the crate is hinged but it's pretty beat up and a pain in the butt so we kept it closed this time. We have another one we need to bring up as well. Definitely helps!
Amazing video and free is always awesome! Bacon 🥓 delicious 😋 🇨🇦🍁
We 💯 need a bacon sponsor. 😆 Thanks Lee! You rock! ✌️🇨🇦♥️
That is a very nice battery . That tarp was a great score also . Can’t wait to see what you are going to build .
@inthebackyardwithdel438 thank you Del. How are you doing? How are your friends doing? Thinking about you all! 🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸
@ Thank you for asking . We are doing well . My friends are doing a lot better . They have a place to live for now . An optometrist has made the 8 yr old a set of glasses and Wanda the adult a pair of new glasses for free . It’s really sad to say that it took something like the hurricane to make neighbors be neighbors again . I would love to do a sticker swap with y’all . 🇺🇸👍🏻🇨🇦
@inthebackyardwithdel438 absolutely! Send us an email lorettaandjason1974@gmail.com
it is sure nice around there great score on the tarp catch ya later 😊💕👍🌲🏡🌲🌲
@erniescabin4256 thanks Ernie! ♥️
Oh, no!! Looking forward to the next episode to see how you fix the water! Bacoooon!!! 🥓 🤤 ❤ I think it would be so cool to try out off grid living. Daaaang, that tarp is huge! Awesome! And great review! It'll be cool to hear a little down the road how it's holding up😊
@consumethegoodness thank you Kendra! I'll watch your video later. We were stacking wood and cleaning up. Yes, the tarp is amazing and will really come in handy for a few projects we have planned! 😁✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸♥️
Bacon is a necessity!!!
@@JustJasonKeto 💯!
Every liitle bit helps and look forward to seeing more. You have had so much progress in short time and my phone not very smart I think its duplicating my comments but all good lol
Mine is not so smart either Lol. I replied on your other comment but I don't see it!
Good info light battery is a plus, great food for the day outside, nice tarp roll and grate..awesomeness guys. Free 😊
@@NatureInspiredSnipsnSnaps we love free! Lol. Thanks for watching Connie! ♥️✌️🇨🇦

Bacon! Free tarps for the win! Depending on how big you need that piece to be. We would cut it next to holes and burn the edges so it doesn't Frey. You can always create two small tarps out of the smaller cut piece, maybe to cover lawn mower etc. Or hey our best friend is gorilla tape lol😂 Good battery, looking forward to hearing how you like it. Another great video Loretta and Jason. Hope you have a good week.
@PandJsHomesteadAdventure ahhhh good tip! Burning the edges so they don't frey! Thanks friends! ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸♥️
Love the pup and another awesome video. Off grid in this day and age is a great get away and back up plan. Thanks for sharing.
@rushingwindmountain thank you Ruby! ♥️
Bacon is a luxury. Bacon makes me thirsty for more bacon.
@themashmakerchallenge9578 😆😆😆 yes! 🥓 🥓 🥓
@ , by the way. This is Barry. The MashMaker Challenge is my other channel. All about homebrewing beer.
@themashmakerchallenge9578 yeah I know! I'm subbed there too. 😁
@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid oh ok. Thank you. 😀
Gotta love free stuff 😁Great tarp. Tuck tape it up 👆Looks like a really good battery and hope it works for your needs. Great sponsor 🙂To me, off grid is living without municipal hook up to electric, water or sewage. Thanks for sharing.
@AlmostaGreenAcre-zs5eu exactly! But to have those things even while not having to pay for them is they key to comfort! We're working in it! 😁✌️🇨🇦♥️
"Testers" are good!! 🖐😎👍
@@canajian yes! 😁✌️🇨🇦♥️
Hello good friend, your video is very good, you are very talented❤❤❤🔔🔔🔔
@thanhtamvlog1836 thank you 😊
Not quite the word I was thinking but ua, I understand. I am from Michigan.
@@marcfield1234 it's coming! 😁✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸♥️
Thank you for visiting my channel. I’m really enjoying yours . Very exciting plans! Looking forward to your progress. New sub 😃👍
@@SuffolkSusie thanks Susie!
Animals know its a safe place to go,😊 the fox had a healthy coat
Love all the mud bogging! Looks like so much fun. How you pointed out you were talking to each other and not talking to yourself... hilarious.
@@emptynest2travel lol 😆
Lexi and I have Dominican Republic on our travel list!! We have Fiji videos coming soon. We subscribed to your channel! Ours is The Empty Nester Diaries. Many blessings as you live life to the fullest! 🙂 Love it!!
@@TheEmptyNesterDiaries thank you! We will check it out! Fiji sounds incredible!
@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid Fijian people are pretty amazing! So happy and have the right priorities in the right order for sure!
Nice
awesome video I love the wildlife moose are my favourite to see those little twins too and that fox is pretty cool
We love the moose! So beautiful ❤️
Good morning Loretta and Jason! Great to see the wildlife and the beautiful cat.
@@PandJsHomesteadAdventure she's been hanging around for months! Hope she does ok this winter. A little worried about her for sure. She definitely does not want to be caught!
@lorettaandjasonoffgrid We feel the same way about the stray cats here. During the winter on the coldest days, we leave some food out for them. Great to see her on camera, and doing well.
You've got the termination dust! We have 16" on the ground!
@@alaskacutthecord769 yikes!!!
Do you wanna build a snowman?
@@mattandmouse yes!
I'll keep guessing..1st clue tp in the bunkie, now the "S" word..hmmm..wonder?😂Happy November guys. Take care.
Lol thanks Connie. ♥️
12:25 lol. Don’t ruin the surprise. NO - TELL MEEEEEEE!!!
@@mattandmouse 😂
Let me know when you’ve found some goggles - I need a new pair of ‘Jason&Loretta Approved’ eyewear. You guys have an amazing property. So many fantastic spots. ❤❤
@@mattandmouse will do! Yes, we love it here! ♥️✌️🇨🇦
Ours is just around the corner. The good thing is that apart from Autumn, I love Winter too. 😊
I definitely love winter. I just hate driving in the snow! Winter walks in the woods is the best!!!
@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid Agreed!
That's so exciting Sugar maples woohoo. Sorry can't help you with the goggle situation but I am sure viewers will chime in 😍🇨🇦💪🏕️💯
Lol yeah got lots of good advice for sure!
I did a bunch of trail riding last weekend with a buddy and stopped at a bar for a PBR along the way. It was a lakeside bar in Northern Wisconsin. Absolutely perfect day. Not a lot of mud and water but plenty of dust on my side by side. I’ll give it a wash up tomorrow. Keep on having fun you two.
Awesome! We went out riding today. It was chilly so we tried staying out of the mud and water. We were fully intending to get back to do some work and recording but ran into some new friends on the trail and there the day went! Lol. We are so easily sidetracked! Tomorrow is another day! 😁 Let us know when you want to come do some real fun trails! How wide is your SxS?
@ I have a Polaris Ranger 1000. Not exactly sure how wide but I’d say 3 to 4 feet wide. It would be fun to get up there and ride some trails. Would love to winter ride.
Yay! ❤😂
@@TheSimpleAlaskans 🤣♥️ I love it as long as I don't have to drive in it!
The look of concern on Jasons face when he got ya. 🤭 Then you dropped us on our heads. 😂 Great video you guys! 😃
@TheSimpleAlaskans lol I know right! Also the gopro had this awesome magnet mount but we use it so much in the mud and water it's fallen apart. I have 4 little magnets left out of the 5. It doesn't stay on so great anymore. 🤣 Guess I need a new one!
@@lorettaandjasonoffgrid Hey stuff happens. I just saw an opportunity to crack one of my bad jokes before finishing my coffee. I'm glad you did not loose the camera! 🤣
Lol! I know. I left it in there cause it looked like I flipped the machine but I didn't 🤣 Hey...how's Bear?!
Not ready for it either but kinda looking forward to camping in it
We might try tent camping this winter. Might be a cool adventure (literally) lol
