  • This might be the most informative video on off-grid homesteader wilderness living that you have seen -- from the people who have lived about half their lives in the wilderness. See what they've built, how they live. You won't believe what the flooring is! What do they do for water? What about a bathroom? Food? Laundry? Bathing? How much do they spend? How do they make money? Is bartering common? What you might think of as the simplest things could be something that has to be well thought out and planned. This is survival in the Canadian bush.

    Very good documentary one of the best I've seen.I live similar to this myself and picked a few god ideas while watching for me and here is no bette way to live but a lot of people would never live like this and call us poor and dirty.The truth is we are the healthiest and richest people by far.I dreamed of living like this from a young age but the cities and small towns had me chasing the the Dollar and paying continuously in the vicious circle many get trapped in.I saved and sold everything 4years ago and made this my life and I will never turn back.I truly am blessed and deeply in love with nature and mother earth and she can really provide for me with a little elbow grease.

    When I lived off the grid in the NWT in the 1960's I washed clothes in one of those large, metal milk containers, shaved off pieces of sunlight bar soap and churned the clothes with a toilet plunger. Worked like a damn. Also scrounged an old Eaton's Acme wood stove for cooking and purchased a Grandfather Fisher stove for heat. Now 90 years old, retired in rural Saskatchewan and really envying you folks. Best wishes to you all. Makes me proud to be Canadian.

    The ground pebble is interesting, but what I would do is probably install some kind of pipe system under the pebble and have hot water going though that pipe. The rock will capture that heat and irradiate it. I'm just not fully sure how to do it easily without an electric pump. One huge advantage of this, is 4 inch of warm rock pebble still irradiate that energy after the fire is gone, and since heat rise, no insulation is really needed (I just wouldn't go too far to the border of the house, then this might cause issues maybe. You could also have the sun hit the rock floor, which the rock will store that heat (And you will want to do the reverse in the summer, protect so the sun don't enter the cabin).

    Gotta say, it is a LOT of work, been living in my own off-grid project construction site for 23 years now, and still not "done" (not even sure what that word means). There is no 'done' or 'complete' to building a self reliant way of life, there is only upkeep improvements and doing the next step. Season by season, year after year, until I can't do no more I guess.

    The proper or easiest way to chop or split firewood. Do not put on top of another piece as was done in this video. Put the piece you want to split, put it on the ground. When you stack it like in this video and Hollywood movies, you have to raise splitting maul higher, and you do not get to swing far, which means you do not get the advantage of gravity. Gravity of the maul as you swing. Anyone testing my advice will never go back to the Hollywood method. I split hardwood oaks in Alabama that are much harder than spruce and pine as seen here and on TV.
    This comment is meant to be educational, not critical. As I will agree at least 70% of people split wood incorrectly mostly due to what we see on tv.
    I hope this helps anyone that splits wood by hand. Stop stacking your wood to split, put it on the ground

    Those wild rabbits, as you call them, with the long back legs, are called hares in Ireland. There's another wild species we used to eat commonly that we call rabbit. Rabbit is succulent and tasty, but hare is gamey and rubbery meat for eating. They're also less common here, even though they were rarely hunted. I think I heard that they force the rabbits out of the area they occupy and don't breed as much as 'regular' rabbits.

    New sub here , hello from remote rural off grid down under AU city folk always say 2 me on my rare trips to the coast how do you do it, my answer solar and wind grow my own produce its not rocket science. Only outlay really is fuel and gas am happy with that idea, took me 10 or so years to set it up to where it is now . And yes the solar storage 24 V have always just used deep cycle batteries and inverter works for me , have a stand alone 12V deep cycle battery that powers led lighting for the house and workshop. Have a small wind generator that acts like a trickle charge battery charger over night, get a bit of wind here. Have a back up gen rarely use it even when using power tools in the workshop , as you said you learn when you can use power and when not for me its the middle of the day for workshop and high draw power tools , in having said that I rarely even turn on then gen and my battery bank handles most things. I agree walking barefoot when ever possible it does drain the negativity , may I add we don't get snow in winter where I am it gets cold for a few months though.

      🥸 thankyou oh mighty genius!! You are exactly the reason our country is going down!! Enjoy your 15 minute city; and do avoid my private property, it’s raw wilderness and me n my bears don’t cotton to bigshots like you!

      Stephen here from the video. Yes, our property is privately owned but for all intents and purposes we are in the wilderness. 26 km from town. Mountains and lakes and trees all around us. Moose and bears as neighbours.

    Rabbit manure good also for a fire starter but the thing about it there is the Bible says you cannot eat rabbit

    Excellent vid!👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆
    One of the best I've seen. Gee, I'd love to pick their brains (talk with them about different ideas). Glad I don't have to deal with bears, only hormonal, aggressive, jacked up male kangaroos🦘 that stand 6'+ to 8'+ especially when the girls are hormonal, same with hormonal, territorial male possums that will jump on you (I reckon these are the real, true "drop bears" not koala's like everyone thinks). Much more likely to have a bad encounter with an aggressive big fat brushtail possum than a koala 🐨. Of course there's the spider factor, and the deadly snake factor. The only thing as heavy as me or heavier are the kangaroos. I am very thankful that we don't have wolves or coyotes or bears like you do on your continent.
    Yes, we have dingoes but not near me. Bears I find scary. Size wise and weight wise. I suppose you just adjust and get used to them and other threats, like we do with our wildlife.
    The way you build, the way you set different things up, I've always found fascinating, even as a child. Love this stuff. Well done to all of you 👏
    All the best from Australia 🇭🇲🦘🦘🇭🇲

      Unfortunately no. I sometimes drove right beside the fires. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/IqTwcCa01a4/видео.html
