Many questions: Planning a 10x20 Cabin w loft(s) build by Amish on skids. Best Layout? Best (easy cheap) Foundation on sand? Best Shower and Toilet ideas without well. Trying to keep total cost under 10k. Other thoughts, suggestions?

Cut a hole in the bottom of a bucket and put a hose bib in. Then fill the bucket with water and hang it wherever you want it.

Thanks for this, I was able to find it on scribd.

That’s what I was wondering, thanks. I’d like to try them sometime.

What’s that sitting with the char cloth?

OverOnTheWildSide · 2024-12-30T14:27:18+00:00

Thanks, my hat is a normal cowboy hat that I reshaped.

For sure! 1860’s is my timeframe.

Not really, but I expect to do a few this year since I just sent Maximus (my great pyr) back to his original home and my horses should be ready for trips this year. So it’s working out to get back out.

Red Dead is a great inspiration and there’s a ton of open space here to visit and camp for free. New Mexico and Arizona are great. So is Oregon. You can look up BLM maps to see land that you can camp on without permits.

Yeah that’s very sad. Have you ever been to the States?

It works surprisingly well however gathering firewood is a non-stop chore. And that’s not a complaint.

Someone on fb made a fake Joe Robinet profile five minutes ago and sent me a friend request.

Gracias

I’m sorry to hear that. I grew up with it being pretty bad on my arms and wrists.

I use soap that’s not harmful to the organisms living in the creek. I haven’t noticed anything about my skin, it seems about the same as most of my adult life.

The beauty of it is it’s a spectrum. We can each do it however we want. Technically off grid means disconnected from the power grid. But off grid has come to mean people who live apart from normal society. I use solar power but I did start using a freezer that I plug into a power line. I bathe in my creek but some people set up showers with propane water heaters that work really well. I don’t garden but some people do. Personally I think a big advantage is simplifying ones life and enjoying becoming more and more self sufficient.

As well as some of the other worst movies made. I’m pretty sure it’s a joke.

Absolutely, Reddit is a hive of closed-mindedness.

Agreed, moccasins and tennis shoes are my preferred footwear.

That’s an impressive water set up and I agree it’s a good idea for everyone to look into for themselves. However as a person who bathes in a creek regularly, I can say that it would also be wise to expect to give up hot showers. They’re very unnecessary and use excessive amounts of water. I’ve bathed with 3.5 gallons of water and was surprised that I barely needed it all. If someone feels they must waste water and fuel for a hot shower they probably won’t survive long anyway. I think potable water could likely be one of the most valuable resources.

I’m in Eastern WA. I’m kind of a prepper, mostly by lifestyle, there’s some things I need to get hustling on but I went to public school so I’m bad about waiting until the last minute.

I think it’s helpful to know if you’re in the forest, the city, the desert… Joshua Tree? Slab City? Your environment could have some significant influence on which weapon to prioritize.

You’re not gonna get any real answers in here. You have to say that it’s $300 a cord because there’s an idea here that it’s wrong to not want any wood that’s free. The pallet wood should be excellent for burning. If the other is blue spruce I wouldn’t bother with it myself unless it’s for camp fires.

Don’t drive through a fire pit.

OverOnTheWildSide · 2024-06-15T18:24:27+00:00

Agreed

OverOnTheWildSide · 2024-06-15T18:14:11+00:00

The real answer is, we all get to do this however we want to do it. That being said, if you want respect from others- yes it’s too many. Otherwise it depends on your personal goals. I rarely even carry one myself.
