Al's Gravity Spring Water System & Daily Breakfast Routine

In this video, I take a visit to neighbor Al's off grid property. He shows me how he cooks breakfast every morning on his wood fire "Majestic" brand stove. He explains how he prepares the stove the night before, and how the fire from the stove doubles as a hot water source for his off grid cabin in the woods. We also take a hike up to his multiple natural water springs to see how he captures the water and directs it through a series of pipes and fittings to the multiple shelters on his property. We also discuss his grey water system, and how he utilizes his 2 outhouses as an alternative to a septic.
Thanks for watching!

  • This is what I think about when I think about living off of grid. I think more about returning to community rather than the actual experience. The idea that we would turn to one another again and help each other and get to know each other. This is such a kind, sweet video.

  • Diego And Al The old wood stoves were the first convection ovens because of the way they were designed they're circulate the heat around the box and Diego you can take a hot water tank or if you could find a cast iron one you can line that with copper tubing that they use in an air conditioner can an outside air conditioner and hooked that up and have the water go through and it will heat it heat it up from the stove it will naturally circulate come in from the bottom and go out the top into a holding tank My grandparents they had the water jacket on their stove on the outside then they had a hundred gallon hot water tank that shut off to the side there and it was a tank inside of a tank and it was insulated with asbestos cuz that's what they used in the old days and the inside tank was stainless in the outside tank was just steel they would heat up the water and it would last up to 2 days before it cooled down to where it was uncomfortable if you were taking a bath just something for thought

  • Al is one smart cookie , He would be the one to talk to about going off grid , He has a beautiful property with water source to use for the cabin , tree,s to use for firewood, His wood burner stove is Epic ! and so much more . Love how he has a couple outhouses great idea I feel. love the sauna and other building's . The interior is cozy, love where his kitchen table sits next to the large windows overlooking the water how epic, Al would definitely be an individual i could talk to all day. One would never know how old Al is . Al is living a very healthy lifestyle . I love this guy. London, Ontario, Canada.

  • These videos are a wonderful testimony to a life lived well. I love your videos. Al's been doing it much better than we did. I baked bread in a wood burning stove for 17 years and over 30 years later I still long for wood heat again. Makes the best baked goods. You get to know your wood. I heated an old iron on the top for ironing things I sewed on the treddle machine. Very remote homestead living in BC, near Big Bar Canyon.

  • I have only gotten half way through this video, and watched part of another, but what stateis this? Looks very similar to where I live in Vermont. The one thing Al needs, I think, is a good hand pump for his holding pond when water is low. Just to get water to the house. Just a thought. Many live just like this where I am from and live. Back in the woods in Vermont. Love the channel so far.👍 Should set up a go fund me or something for Al. I never have donated money, but thats because I haven't seen anything really worthy in my mind. Id love to donatw towards a hand pump or whatever necessity for Al. I appreciate his life and how he chooses to live it.
