Hey brother, in our old house the woodstove is downstairs, but there’s a steel grate in the floor that lets the heat come up into the second floor through that steel grate. I think that would be an awesome idea for you to let more heat upstairs. You could buy a carpet and put over it when you don’t have the stove on to keep cold air from coming up. But 100% you should put a grate in that floor to let heat come upstairs.
I don't have it as tough as Will, but during the winter I've lived in this type of cold for it'll be 20 years this coming year makes you a different type of person when you can survive that cold man
Bro!!! Your place is straight up turning into a castle! My younger self love building forts, and you are straight up, live in my childhood dream! Hope that this new spot is turning out how you wanted and more! I’m sending energy balls your way as well!
@@keldaMouse warm chicken soup, fresh 🍞. On a cold night!!! Good neighbors, your on your way... to a good self-sufficient life!! Envious... But you are putting in the work!!! 💪 Congrats
Your ability to gain a community around you wherever you go is a real gift. I'm glad you're staying warm and I hope that continues through this next round of winter storms.
I’m living off grid in a 10x17 wall tent across the border in Kentucky. I’ve found that running my kerosene heater on low will last from dusk until dawn and then some and it keeps my batteries warm enough to charge. I run it all night so I don’t have to keep waking up to feed the wood stove. Keeping those Jackery units above freezing will help them last a lot longer too. If you run across a kerosene heater at a thrift store, pawnshop or flea market for a good price you should consider adding it to your arsenal of heating devices. They are calling for the coldest January in years so being able to supplement that little wood burner with some good humid heat will make life a bit closer to comfortable. Stay safe over there.
God bless you Will ❤ Hey put plastic around the chicken coop open areas to prevent wind/ drafts. They can get frost bite on the combs and even their feet.. we ❤ U !!!
Chickens put out a lot of moisture, if you wrap plastic around them, with no ventilation, they can get ammonia. As long as the birds can get out of the wind, they are ok
Those dogs are loving life!! Good stuff man! Glad you got the cabin set for winter! Later up buddy! Good stuff! Edit…try ghost energy if you haven’t, gives me a good boost
Man Will I LOVE these videos!! Cabin look so sick! looks like it would be soooo much fun to live in there and it looks so WARM!! You look like you're living the dream man. so happy for you Will
I grew up poor and know exactly how it feels to be cold and sitting around a wood burning stove to get warm. I hope this channel gives you an opportunity to live much more comfortably. You have a good attitude which is half the battle. Keep going and never give up
Your house reminds me of my late dad's garage. We had wood burners in both there and the 100yr old house..yes, I carried firewood when young. In any case, I loved the first 17years of my life like you are right now and I turned out fine 👍
Spending my lunch break with u will I fw the content seen u rapping on ig and seen u do all this I inspire to have courage like u to step outside the box and live by ur rules
Yes we are lol.. I'm in Southwest Virginia in the mountains as well, we definitely help our neighbors. Good luck Will stay warm i know it's been in the teens at night here as well and it's brutal at times.
I live off grid. Pick yourself up a set of snow chains for your Yote👍 Two sets if you can afford it. Chains front and back, your going places 👍 im in three feet of snow and can punch through and go pretty much anywhere with a set of chains front and back👍
Put a small piece of copper in your chickens water to help keep the algae down it ain’t going to stop it from freezing but it’ll hold back the algae from growing you can put the water on a heat pad or just get warmer from your local tractor supply
We packed old tires with either Styrofoam or straw/newspapers and put the waters in them. Insulated from the cold and if kept in the coop, away from the wind. Haven't had 1 freeze other then a skim of ice on top. Live in Michigan so we do see a little bit of cold. Keep lights on in the coop for 16 hours of daylight for the girls and get eggs year round.
We have some pretty frigid weather up here in Ontario atm with lots of snow, looks like the pups are loving the snow there. Maybe you could build some type of insulated box around your solar batteries to keep them a bit warmer. Also i seen it mentioned in the comments about a steel grate in the floor. I also suggest you do that too but as long as your top part is insulated. If so it will keep that upstairs nice and toasty, just remember, heat rises, keep up the good work buddy!
Should make an insulated box, maybe a heating pad, to keep the batteries at a reasonable temperature. maybe somewhere on the side or above the fire at waist/chest height.
Hey man keep inspiring people to just do there best your an amazing inspiration and I genuinely look forward to watching your videos thanks for putting a s smile on all of our faces
Those arent just neighbors .. That there is Family. Youll come to find out that in these hollers blood doesnt make ya family. My favorite relatives arent even a part of my kin. Blood is thicker than water...but sausage gravy is thicker than blood. Stay awesome lil bro
Will house looking great, WV Looks like Canada 🇨🇦 Ontario, I live in the woods and in the valley the snow takes forever to leave, those pup just love this weather. So glad your doing great, Will=SUCCESS
Got another storm coming this weekend. Being prepared comes with time and age. You learn from your mistakes and keep on going. Keep on keepin on brother from my wv holler to yours. Be safe and stay warm. I’d keep that fire going 24/7 if I was you. I do here. My fires been burning for a month now lol
Yeah, that having fun can get expensive Will, you need to start wearing a helmet anyways so maybe you'll have the chance to grow out of it. Helmets have 💯 saved my life twice and possibly a few more times. But two would have definitely been fatal without a helmet. Keep up the good work and videos. You're probably going to get some of this snow we are anticipating tomorrow. Be safe out there. 4:31
Sorry bro that last advert passed 10 minutes so was like na not watching this add any longer 😂. What a legend bro, I reckon each place you've settled and made camp has been a step up with your designs and knowledge you should be so ferkn proud of these accomplishments , Happy winter well for you..happy long summer for us kiwis an Australians
Looks like your stove needs a gasket replacement. I would also at least put up some tarps downstairs to help keep some of the heat in. It's also cool for you to see what needs to be fixed up around there in any given situation. Also, in regards to the mice, I might find a couple cats to wander around there and take care of that problem for you. Cheers!

That's genius
I’d say that’s smart but isn’t his entire downstairs open plan with no walls? The hot air is escaping outward and severely affecting his heat output.
Not if he uses a pipe to vent it
@MrAshHere I think those are windows on the under side
@ well yeah but the stove is directly next to the outdoor kitchen no?
I like this more day in the life type vibe … more of this Will keep it up bro
I don't have it as tough as Will, but during the winter I've lived in this type of cold for it'll be 20 years this coming year makes you a different type of person when you can survive that cold man
Yes, I agree. The other editing with really choppy clips can get confusing.
I dont get how this guy dosent have at least a million subs by now.... this is absolute gold content!
You cheer me up every time I watch, cheers Will!
Big Willy living chilly
This need to be a t shirt idea
It's little Willy right now it was 10° last night.
Will put this in a rap!
That was slick

A real grift!
You got it looking how you want it bro
Stay warm Will
Suppose to be some cold stuff
Try putting up something around your coop, your chicken will like it 😊

God bless you Will ❤
Hey put plastic around the chicken coop open areas to prevent wind/ drafts. They can get frost bite on the combs and even their feet..

Stay warm Will. Keep that fire wood stocked. Temps are dropping my guy.

Everything looks amazing and I’m so excited for you and Jesse!!!! 🐶🐶 more videos is always appreciated ❤️

Will will survive without the broom, but good idea😊
Good morning sunshine! Always love seeing notification from your channel! Stay warm! So proud of you Will! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

Bro you are fortunate to be doing what your doing in that area, mountain folk are the kindest!
Hill folk. The only mountains east of the Mississippi are in northern New England and the border area between Tennessee and North Carolina.
@@ForrestMccroy getting caught up on technicalities are we? 🤓
We are called the mountain state
Yes we are lol.. I'm in Southwest Virginia in the mountains as well, we definitely help our neighbors. Good luck Will stay warm i know it's been in the teens at night here as well and it's brutal at times.
keep up hard work will, super beautiful snow storm, enjoy it
Have a positive day Will and Jesse. Love to come dab you guys out when I get back in that neck of the woods. Keep thriving and surviving.

Winter is a mean beast, not too mean for you though. 💪🔥
You give me inspiration to leave my normal life and live in the sticks this is awesome
you got this brother!
Your place is looking good Will. Everyone seems all happy and content. Have a great day
Should make an insulated box, maybe a heating pad, to keep the batteries at a reasonable temperature. maybe somewhere on the side or above the fire at waist/chest height.
Both those dawgs are living the best life!!
Hey man keep inspiring people to just do there best your an amazing inspiration and I genuinely look forward to watching your videos thanks for putting a s smile on all of our faces

Absolutely love this style of videos, you have it figured out. Looking forward to the next one!
All the ash you collect from the wood stove if perfect to dump in for the chickens once it’s cooled down.. The chickens will have dust baths in it
There's the snow we been waiting to see... NC bout to get our little share..stay warm.. stay up..
Glad to see you guys didn’t freeze

WILL GET A SMALL HEATING PAD AND SIT THE BATTERY BANK ON IT.THEN PLUG THE HEATING PAD INTO THE BATTERY BANK.THEY DONT USE MUCH POWER.
Keep up that positive attitude, love the videos!!!!
