#offgrid
Vandaag gaan we verder aan de hut. Het is een driehoekige boomhut en twee muren zijn af. Vandaag maken we de derde muur. Dan verder met het dak.
for no reason, tonight i'm once again thinking about the "russian cyberfarm." i've seen this video so many times & i *still* think it's funny. i was born in the former soviet union, and this is about as accurate a representation as you're gonna get 😂
also, i think anyone with a #farm or #homestead or #offgrid will recognize a lot of the situations portrayed...

Big help today with hanging the laundry. Because we moved the camper last week we moved the drying lines. Doris made a lower line so she can hang some laundry. She even made a short line for socks. I love how inventive she is and wants to help with doing tasks.
@emil Codzienne relacje już niebawem. I opis mojego rozwiązania (niedrogiego).
Docelowo przed trasą ze 2 tygodnie w "dziczy" nad jeziorem niedaleko, by sprawdzić sprzęt i ewentualnie zrobić poprawki.

Used my new solar oven for the first time #today ! I was really unexpectedly impressed with this little oven!
First I made gingered carrots w butter and brown sugar. They came out hot and sizzling. They tasted amazing, it cooked beautifully and it seems really efficient. It took only 30-40 minutes. #cooking #solar #offgrid
Do you live in the Pacific Northwest or in Southern BC and love bluegrass/country music and need a place to truly chill? Here's a kept secret.: I have a property for sale where several of our neighbours are top 100 musicians. We have an informal concert every summer where we all jam in the old growth under intense starlit skies.
I'm sad to go, but it's time for a new chapter in our lives.
Check my media. Picts posted earlier.

Vegetable garden morning. Weeding a bit and put the tomatoes around a stick.
first test of the gosun sport solar oven i got on sale recently!
i had it cook some pumpkin from @saltphoenix's garden
it was a cloudy day & i wasn't sure how to arrange it toward the sun, but it definitely got hot, & this pumpkin got soft in ~45 mins.
so the first test went well! there is definitely more experimentation to go.
Yesterday I still had to use the heating at night. Today I had to use the ventilator the first time, because it's 28°C (82°F) in my trailer (even with a protecting roof).
That escalated quickly!
btw. the ventilator is solar powered.
Woke up with this amazing feeling after working on the treehouse yesterday. It feels so good to create and build this ourselves. It is a big project, we have never done something like this before. It feels rewarding and fulfilling to think, look, cut, try and try again to make this amazing playhouse for the kids!
This morning we are finally working on the treehouse again! We picked up loads of used wood from a friend's place that has been renovated.
Already super happy with how it looks, and also with this timelapse!

@jwildeboer That's why it's basically illegal to be #OffGrid in #Germany...
And yes I've read of a small village that due to wind turbines basically has a cooperative energy company selling power for € 0,09/kWh + taxes and mandatory fees to residents and businesses...
Tiny broccoli is making his appearance in this world. :)
Harvesting and drying some cilantro seeds, so I can sow them again soon.
Summer is starting...so we moved the camper a bit so that she is under the trees for some extra shade. An extra pro is that she is closer to the outside kitchen, so it is more inviting to use the outside kitchen more than the one inside the camper.
I am always the one who drives the camper. And I am pretty proud of my accomplishment today, squeezed in between four trees, each on one side of the camper. Who says women can't drive or park a car?! ;)
Shining as new!
Today I maintained the chainsaw. It was leaking some oil and the forest sand was everywhere. I cleaned it completely and afterwards I sharpened the chain ⛓️. Ready to cut some trees before summer.
The first thing I wanna do with it is make a wooden bench for the vegetable garden.
Absolute favourite picture of my favourite people (and dog)!

So, thinking about my shed set up.
- 120w Solar Panel Kit (Eco-worthy)
- MiFi with PAYG data sim
- Either 2 CCTV camera's OR 2 Old smart phones running Alfred.
- Bog standard inverter for things like strimmer (600w or something)
- LED lights + USB power hub
My only real question is, should I get one of the LiFePo4 batteries, or a regular deep cycle leisure battery?
#gardening #solar #solarpunk #shed #offgrid
Just installed my second set of 200W #solar panels for my trailer for a total of 400W peak. Now I just need two more #LiFePO4 batteries and I won't need to lug around our 130lb #generator anymore.
Ever wanted to filter #rainwater for human consumption, then watch this informative video
Having a little picknick after working in the vegetable garden with the kids all morning. It has rained so the soil is perfect to prepare for some more seeding and planting.

Even tho I'm still on this sinking ship, it's nice to have help from friends with the lifting, reworking, water issues and power, to make it more comfortable, for a little while longer.
I'm just so damn tired and will never be "done." #offgrid
So, I used this thick winter jacket from Doris to prepare rice pudding (let it cook for 1 minute and then put it in the winter jacket and let it sit for 1 hour). I would love to make my own 'Hay madam' (a portable version of the hay box). Does anyone has experience with that?
Can I for example use old pillow stuffing for it?
Morning walk through the vineyard and the vegetable garden...it rained the past few days and it makes everything even more beautiful!

FINALLY I have hot showers again. Y'all have no idea what a luxury that is.

@ndpi This sounds actually interesting, because I would like to figure out a system for off-grid communication.
But how does this even work without phones and routers?
btw. if you use fitting hashtags in your posts, much more people could find it.
I saw Nellie Lindqvist's video installation at #Charlottenborg last weekend and was able to track Lindqvist's name to this essay on #decolonization of the #internet in it's most physical sense.
The text analyzes some obvious examples where governments have weaponized the internet against #political revolts ( #Iran , #China , #Russia ), and how the actual infrastructure would need to be replaced, e.g. by #meshnetworks or similar #offgrid technologies.
It's a rather radical idea, yet to me in line with some of the problems that #fediverse and #decentralization also address.

Once a week we need to water all the new trees and plants we put in the forest last winter, that is about 75 of them. So I can use some help with that!
Most of the trees I can reach with the hose, but some are to far away, so we use the watering can for them.
#OffGrid #OfftheGrid #OutdoorLiving #Forest #NewTrees #Trees
The birds built their nest with my goat's hair, shredded white tarp, and moss. I suspect the moss is both good for having water at the nest, without it soaking the nest. It's thick and holds dew, but very well draining, in rain. They are amazing.

The curiosity of Doris (7yo) is limitless. I has always been that way, especially when she is in nature. Taking a walk can takes hours with her because there is so much to see, explore, research and find out.
This evening we saw a snake and we stopped at an ants nest to see and feel how they move.

A little experiment to see what will fit into the food cabinet (or pantry) of the bike trailer.
Not what I'll actually take to start with, but now I know what'll actually fit. Roughly equates to two 'standard' grocery tote bags.
Of they go! To feed the donkeys with their selfmade knapsacks (is that the right English word for it?)

Camping, #offgrid friends
I'm looking for a power system which helps me out for around 3-4 days in the wild without power for:
W-Lan Hotspot, charging Laptop, phone etc.
no fridge and other heavy power consumers..
In the next step, I'd like to get the solar panels for it... so it needs to be a system
Would this #jackery be enough?

There is nothing quite like the feeling when after months and months of analysis, design, concrete work, trenching, fabrication, wiring, stripping, endless trips to the hardware store and scouring the ends of the internet for the right components...
...you flip the switch and WHAM 2+ kW baby and that's literally only the half of it! And it didn't blow up!! Engineering is AWESOME!!

🚐🔋 Introducing the Struggle Bus, my little electric camper van I've been living in whilst on the road doing woodland creation/ restoratioration over the country for @ProtectEarthUK.
It's so simple, but it's brought a lot of freedom from the grid when travelling, and has kept me independent and mobile when injured and sick.
And again back in the vegetable garden to prepare the soil, taking away some weeds, sowing and planting #flowers, #herbs and #vegetables.
Learning by doing it is, I often tell myself it is one big green, naturel experiment where nothing can go wrong, I can only learn from what didn't work like it thought it would.

Een laatste knuffel voor Rosan, het liefste kippenvriendinnetje van Doris dat vandaag ineens doodging.
Er waren veel emoties bij Doris, verdriet en ook boosheid op de andere kippen, dat die Rosan buitensloten, maar dat bleek ook verdriet.
"Ik mis haar niet echt, want haar ziel is gewoon nog steeds bij ons."
Finally, a complete morning working in our vineyard-vegetable-garden! This work makes me so happy and fulfilled. And because the vineyard is 500metres away from our basecamp, I decided to take lunch with me so I don't have to walk extra for lunch break. Saves time and energy that I can put in the garden. :) Lovely morning!

Technological improvements like solar panels and satellite broadband have made it much more attractive these days, but they don't change the physical isolation.
I get that isolation can be really attractive and it can work very well if you're younger and able-bodied, but having lived on a farm, I know it can quickly become scary and dangerous if you're older or get injured.
It doesn't mean city living is the best. But technologically-assisted backwoods off-grid living seems like a precarious proposition.
#OffGrid
We hebben een paar weken moeten wennen hier in het bos. Vorig jaar woonden we hier 9 maanden en in de winter waren we 3 maanden weg. Toen we in februari weer terug kwamen voelde alles anders. We moesten landen en voelen waar de energie op zat. Sinds begin april zijn we weer helemaal thuis hier. We genieten intens van het buitenleven en de natuur om ons heen.
My new Kelly Kettle will help me keep hoards of volunteers full of tea and coffee
It can boil 1.6L of water and cook up whatever at the same time - like these sausages I got from the farm I was protecting last night.
I like getting rid of whatever scraps of wood are about, like this split 1.2m tree stake! 🤣 #NoFossilFuels #OffGrid
Howdy. I'm trying to find a place on the internet where I can be myself, and find folx with similar interests.
I am a climate and ecology oriented farmer, working with organic livestock and tree crops in the Midwest US. My focus is on ecosystem stewardship and community resilience, but mostly navigating surviving as a food grower and living simply. Trying to write some.
Not a natural with digital tech, but I'm pretty good with a pitchfork.
Had a chat with the neighbour after he kindly helped us schlepp our old batteries off the pontoon.
Turns out he has some ultra-rare batteries on his boat: Flooded NiCd cells. 1.2V nominal, 20 year service life. His are from 2007 and still good, although they did cost a small fortune at the time.
They're still available and used in certain applications due to their unique properties and long service life.

"Living and working on a smallholding without electricity, fossil fuels or running water, has taught me much about the natural world, society, the state of our shared culture, and what it means to be human in a time when the boundaries between man and machine are blurring."
~ Mark Boyle
Working on some different ideas and designs with a badass local group, trying to figure out how we can make portable AC units for the summer that are cheap to mass produce and can help people cool down if they don't have access to AC. Breaking down the approaches. 🔨🔩 #solarpunk
Design one is a radiator pump design. You add ice water into the bottom reservoir and use a pump to force the water into a radiator. This will get extremely cold and a fan is used to blow that cold air out. No humidity unlike a swamp cooler. Powered off a portable battery bank.
One major downside is that you need ice for it to work. Which then you have to have access to ice, money to buy ice, or have ice dropped off to you. There are portable ice makers but that could only work for larger places with electricity or a lot of solar infrastructures.
Adding on, you can put a smaller bucket inside the 5 gallon, and fill the space with spray foam to insulate the water to keep it from melting. But we can't always assume that people can either afford ice, or carry it far enough to fill up their coolers.
Another option is using a thermoelectric cooler unit, that takes electricity and makes one side cold and the other side hot. Attach it to a PVC vent to vent out the hot air through the tent. Then you don't need ice and this is more portable.
One downside is that peltier units really need to be cooled on their hot side. And there needs to be a strong delta in the temperature difference. For a small cooler is fine, but cooling air is way harder even with a bunch of them.
An answer to this might be a hybrid unit. Where instead of ice water, a peltier unit is used as a water cooler. The hot end is vented out the tent and the cool end can make cold water to use in the radiator. No ice is needed, but more power is needed to make the whole system work.
A big problem is that it's easier to make heat than it is to cool down. Cooling air is very energy intensive and requires a lot to get it cold enough to matter. It's easier to make stuff like heaterbloc heaters at a low cost compared to cooling, which involves a lot more.
There are ups and downs to all of these, and more than likely a hybrid approach will actually work in the harsh Texas heat, but will mean that less units can be made because of the expenses needed. It's a step in the right direction. Keep ya posted on how things go.
A little bit of background,we are making these for our local conditions in the hot and humid climate in Texas. There are other ways of cooling air like direct air over water/swamp coolers but they are best for drier climates. Just a bit of context into why we are going this route.
A good idea was brought up by @bjthoi
about using a zeer pot/ceramic evap cooler as the resevior that might offer a more appropriate/low tech approach to the idea. Might look into making mini Yakhchāl using the same idea.

Good evening from chalet La Vigne in #bugey #france. This small isolated chalet was built on the abandoned #vineyard. There was also an abandoned ‘bassin’ for irrigating the vines. It was turned into a swimming pool whose footprint is bigger than the chalet. The pool pump is powered by #solar as La Vigne is #offgrid. With temperatures regularly hitting 40C it’s now appreciated. Half way between #geneva and #lyon. Elevation 500m. Annual rainfall 1000mm. #drought #globalheating
Hi Mastodon! 👋

For people who just started following me...I love a good #throwback! :)
Since 2012 we live a nomadic, slow life. We have stayed in over 50 differents houses, lived in a #farmhouse with a #permaculture garden, and since 2,5 years we live in our #camper and stayed #OffGrid for 9 months. A picture says more than words, so sometimes I just like to share a throwback pic to give you a glimpse of the fulfilling, simple and #abundant life we live.
@baldur I have been here for a while, too. And the quality of interactions here is what I love. I can ask for help in two different toots, about two wildly different topics (#UNIX #Linux then #polytunnels and #offgrid) and get so much information and help. I can confidently say this has never happened on anything else short of IRC in the early 2000s.
Rewilding a small parcel of Ireland and a large part of myself. I live off-grid and as sustainably as I can; planting vegetables, sowing words. Solace in nature, poetry and art.

A little throwback movie to our off the grid life the past 9 months. With our camper we stayed on a 5 hectare forest and vineyard in the south west of Portugal.
There was only forest when we arrived, so we started with making raised beds for growing our own vegetables. It is an amazing feeling what you can create in 9 months if you follow the natural flow! It was a lovely adventure, which ended last week.

#Introduction - Hiya! My name is Michael, but I usually go by Mike. I'm a single father living day to day with PTSD and many other struggles of my own, however, I prioritize my son's special needs before my own, and I'm learning something new every single day.
I try to stay as positive as possible and I am by default non-confrontational mainly because confrontation gives me panic attacks.
The ability to stay informed and help others where I can is important to me, even if the news is difficult to hear or share at times.
Down below I will leave my interests and things I might toot about at anytime in the future, however I will be most heavily focused on politics and things that affect society as a whole. If you find yourself liking my content or have similar interests, feel free to give me a follow and/or interact with me.
