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 RUclips (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 RUclips, as mine wasn't even near it's full potential. I just love being able to charge my RUclips 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
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.
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 .
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 (ruclips.net/video/Eqfp1jZpwxU/видео.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!
I really enjoy the quiet, silence, tranquility, no narration, no music. Just nature and you working with your tools. Simply awesome! Thanks, from Texas!
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.
Bro I'm kinda jealous of you. Living in nature with a cool dog, building stuff. Congrats on 400k.
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.
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.
For all the skills you have at such a young age is just insane
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.
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 👏🏼
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 ????
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.
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! 🤗❤
Härligt att se dig igen i ditt hörn av världen. Grattis till din fina livskamrat Barr. Oavsett ämne på RUclips så sätter jag stort värde kvaliteten på filmerna. Du är bäst i klassen.
The craftsmanship of this cabin is just remarkable. 🤯
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.
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! ! ! !
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 🇨🇭
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 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.
I wanna just hug Barr, he is just such a good doggo
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.
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😊
Thanks Erik. Having a good friend to help out is always a bonus!
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! 👍🏻👌🏻❤️🌲🌲
This is the very highest standard of video production - congratulations.
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...
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. 👍
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!
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 !!!!
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.
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! 😊
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.
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!
Now and again you get a RUclipsr who's worth watching , good videos , very entertaining and informative , I love the dog 🐕 too!
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 !!
Great video. Barr seems like an awesome companion to share the forest with. Super fun to get a behind-the-scenes vid that showcases how the sausage is made so to speak. Tack för all inspiration, lugn och ro och trivsel dina videos alltid bidrar med till min tillvaro och alla andras gissar jag. KBO as Churchill said!
hi Eric, i have just recently followed you on your RUclips 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.
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!
13:40 That mosquito + headphones had me slapping at the air aimlessly. 😅
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
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!
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.
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
This is a question I have often wondered about and I assume many other subscribers do too. Not just about you specifically, but about many RUclipsrs. Thank you for answering it!
Living off grid is my dream! I'm not envious but props to you. I hope you are having a good time.
Phenomenal dedication and skill!
I’m amazed at what you’ve done.
All the best!
at your very young age it is almost impossible to do such thing like you did. keep inspiring the youth. ❤️🇵🇭
Your dog is so precious and happy. Always attentive. You can tell he loves being with you.
PS: your range of tools are amazing. The axes especially.
Great video, thanks. And congratulations on the new puppy.
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
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. ❤️
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...
Great video Erik. Your dog is a star also. Thanks for sharing.
The hut is looking really good, it's cool to see the progress :) And nice to see the behind the scenes
If it wasn't for Erik's video's I'd never get any fresh air!
Barr is wonderful dog and companion. Cute and Hysterical! Perfect breed for living off-grid with. I love your channel! Always fun to watch
I like the calmness in your videos.
Absolutely love these videos! Thank you for sharing another great one!
Your Barr is very energetic I love his pig. Great video glad you are being sponsored by this and other company. As I sort of viewed by years I am sure they will be as always full of knowledge.
Dude, thank you. Ive been watching your videos this weekend. I appreciate you sharing your talents, and amazing beauty, and your dog. Very soothing and relaxing, Thank you, thank you.
Stright up subsribed too.
I was really looking forward to seeing you finish the roof. And there it is fully tiled already! Will there be a video of that? I think you're living a fantasy that many of us have. Really love what you're doing and how you're doing it. Thank you!
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 😇😇❤
You have been a real inspiration to me. Hoping to have half the success you have had with your channel. Keep up the great work
Thanks for sharing your journey again with us. Congratulations on the sponsorship. We also use German Shorthair Pointers to hunt birds in the Highveld here in South Africa. They are fantastic bird dogs if well trained but a real nuisance if they do their own thing and run after every animal they see. Enjoy Barr.
Do you have any podcasts about how you do all this? I'd listen to you talk about it for hours this is fascinating
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.
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.
German pointers are awesome, had one too. She was so loyal, gentle and very smart! Perfect dog for hunting aswell as companionship.
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
The hatchet throwing will come in handy someday, when you want to? Olympics...... I really like your first sponsor, i love the setup....
Wonderful video Erik I love watching you living the great life in your fabulous country keep safe good friend.
looking good, nice to see you got a new puppy, really like this video, a little "behind the scenes'' worked out for you, thanks for sharing!
That was some impressive axe throwing!! Wow!! Great video - adorable puppy ❤
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 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 🇬🇧
Welcome Barr! Good to have your own dog Erik & pleased to hear Alice is well with her babies..missed your roof going on? Thats a shame. Great solar setup 🌞
Congrats on your first sponsored video Erik 👍🇵🇭
Your axe trowing skill is ameizimg...👏👏👏
🇲🇽 México, te saluda!! Erick!! Muy bien tú! Me gusta mucho tu cabaña! Felicidades!!
I always appreciate the nature shots that you pick.
Always look forward to something new from you and was even more surprised at it being a behind the scenes vid. Makes me more excited to see the roof being done - looks amazing!
Congrats on the sponsorship! In it's own way I would stay it's still living off the grid. You're not having forestry destroyed to bring in power, water, etc but using all the things that nature offers (and restoring some used - as in the trees).
Great work Erik and wish you the best!
I was impressed with your work and skill. I've seen others build log cabins, none fit the logs so tightly or used moss between them. Was your knowledge and method passed down through family members? Your cabin seems well-made and tight. I've enjoyed your videos, appreciate the silence, editing, and beauty of the area. Love your companion! Watching him grow from a puppy to a juvenile has been entertaining! He's a natural star! Thanks for sharing with us!
Amazing axe throwing! I've been watching your videos for the last 5 months and this is the first time that I actually heard you talk.
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.
Love your new 4 legged companion, he's very cute :) ......... and your axe throwing skills ... are on point, Sir!!
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.
I discovered you two days ago and have binged every video and also told others to watch you.
What a handsome dog. Looks like hell be a great companion for man years to come. Great name too. Glad to hear Alice is doing well...that was my first thought so glad you provided some insight.
Congrats on your first sponsor. i like your outlook - to do without electricity. you building a cellar for storage?
Thank you for sharing - this video really gives us a great behind the scene view of life. The solar panels are interesting - I have solar on my home but I live in the suburbs so the panels are permanently affixed to the roof. You have a great companion with Barr - he seems well adapted and loyal. Looking forward to the continued progress of the cabin. Are you thinking of making your own furnishings also?
.... a very beautiful video, thank you, Erik and Barr :) The day is better of it!
Hey Erik, you r changing your looks. Getting older now. Congrats!🍁🍁🇨🇦
Never mind the electrikery stuff what impressed me was your wild life skills like getting a fire lit without matches. How did you finish your roof? Regards, Jim in NI UK
Thank you Jim. There will be videos on the roof build coming soon.
@@ErikGrankvist glad to hear that!!
Yes de are waiting for more videos.
Jim, dont u wonder how he is able to eat meat in the middle of summer without anything to store them in cold ? mhmmm..........
@@geyjibill1441 maybe because he brings it from the house? He doesn’t live there full time.. needs a door and windows and furniture
