Jacob Goes Off Grid Day 40 Part 2

in #life6 years ago


This is a video from Day 40 of going off-grid. I went 'off grid' five hundred and eighty-two days ago and it has been quite the journey since I got dropped off at this old fallow farm and built (continue to build) all my own infrastructure. I have been video documenting the entire process and have just recently begun publicly sharing some of the videos. I have been sharing the videos privately since I started the entire process which I call Jacob Goes Off Grid In The Woods. 'Day 1' is the morning after I arrived at this little place in the mountains in the 'dead of winter' on January thirteenth of two thousand and seventeen with my dogs, my wits, minimal gear and very little hard currency to work with. Slowly I have done my best to breathe life into a very old farm and give it all my best, 'learning as I go', and documenting the process as best I can. It has been quite the journey so far. @jacobpeacock

In this video I show the progress that I made on the 'ricking station' and talk some about my ideas for it.

I show where I moved the tarps some more to continue knocking down the vegetation in the side yard of the shack. I explain making stakes to stake down the tarps.

I talk about using the old cob from the chimney along with black locust stakes and rocks to 'cement' the posts for the 'ricking station' in place.

As always this is just a summary of the video's content and not meant to explain everything that I cover in the video.
