You got ahead with a youtube channel… and it helped to afford you your escape but, at the loss of another much needed urban farmer. Irony. The same catch 22 that is creating the future food and planet problem.
it would appear your energy freedom costs were simply transferred into the costs of the homestead and supporting technology.
the true form of freedom is not any of this utopian lifestyle… but the income derived from your channel
You should set up two or three mining rigs just to mine doge with some of the excess power. Really high rewards right now something like 95 doge per rig per day. Might be worth some research.
everything looks great! do you have to worry much about bears or cougars?
Welcome back! Time to get back to the learning. 🙂
Awesome set up!
What is the "wicked" portable electric generator rental you referred to?
My husband and I read your book a few years ago, and what I really loved was the story of your dad and his entrepreneurial spirit. What a gift for you to grow up with a dad like that! We are trying to do the same for our daughter. Thanks for your sharing your personal life with all of us, and showing us what CAN be done!!
20 kW or 20 kWh a day? Those are 2 different things….
Being so much farther south than you and subscribing to the GSM I personally couldnt put so much work in so far north
security should be your 5th
What state is this?
Hey Curtis, will you be using rocket mass heaters at all up there?
Awesome setup. We turned our system up to test it and disconnected everything. All the breakers are off, batteries disconnected and we're just in standby mode until we need power. We do keep our batteries charged.
Which cam and mic are you using Curtis?
I cannot wait to see the vision of your gardens come to fruition. You are living the dream of being tied to no man. What a fabulous dream realized.
cool
Truly an amazing setup you have.
Do you know what the lifespan of this kind of system is?
Very focused and clear explanation/narration of your activities there Curtis. Thank you for this. … Been following for the duration (of your posts). Tremendous and inspiring all. I know you know the value of what you are currently doing. ~~~ Brilliant! ~~~ And now seems more "calm" more "focused." Soo cool. Thank you so much!
Except for the replacement parts etc, many of which come from China. When TSHTF solar isn't going to do a thing. Great for now, though, I guess.
I think relying on inverters to use power at mains voltage causes long term problems. Do everything you can to use power at the voltage you generate it. For example I am building a 12v 450L hot water tank to store energy. Lights are easy. Inverters are like a weak spot where replacement in a crisis could put your whole operation at risk.
Ace bro
Hey Curtis , what are you using for internet??
thanks for sharing – what a beautiful place
What a breath taking setting! Question: your garage is not as long as the greenhouse. Is it designed that way for a purpose? Just curious. Thanks!
Ok, that's a cool greenhouse!
Great work. Love that you share.
Ugh, missed the offer by a week… lol, yup, I'm in the right place with you. No worries, I'm too broke anyway. Working it out from hell.
