Learn to practice Off the Grid living by living in a tent

If you want to learn how to live totally Off the Grid first learn how to live in a tent, which we did now upgrade that tent to meet your luxury needs. Now understand this would be at a college level now use your imagination to upgrade it to a wizard level and you will have something no other person or very few people will even have. But let's start with just living in a tent so you start from first grade and graduated and honorary Wizkid or wizard

In this video, we give you a tour of a prospector-style, 4-season tent that is completely off-grid.  The tent is built with two layers of weather-proof canvas stretched over a wooden frame and is equipped with a double combustion wood stove for heat, a solar panel to power 1 LED light, and a propane fridge to keep food cool during the summer months.  

The tent is separated into 4 quarters: dining room, kitchen, sleeping area, and woodstove/living room.  There's also an outhouse, barbecue and picnic table outside.

Measuring approx. 15 x 18 feet, this tent would make a very comfortable tiny house, although we would make a couple of changes to make it more liveable over the long-term, including the addition of an indoor composting toilet, a couch in front of the fireplace, larger windows, and a more powerful solar system so that we could power more than 1 light.

This tent is a rental unit in Gatineau Park that can be accessed by snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Winter, or hiking/cycling in Summer.  For more information about renting a 4-season tent (or yurt) in Gatineau Park, visit the NCC website here:

Second lesson aquaponics

Published on Aug 22, 2011 Rob Torcellini bought a $700 greenhouse kit to grow more vegetables in his backyard. Then he added fish to get rid of a mosquito problem and before long he was a committed aquaponic gardener. Now his 10 by 12 foot greenhouse is filled with not only vegetables, but fish. And the best part is: the poo from that fish is what fertilizes his garden. Aquaponics combines fish farming (aquaculture) with the practice of raising plants in water (hydroponics). It's organic by definition: instead of using chemical fertilizers, plants are fertilized by the fish poo (and pesticides/herbicides can't be introduced to kill pests because they could harm the fish). Since the plants don't need dirt, aquaponics allows gardeners to produce more food in less space. And in addition to the vegetables they can grow, most aquaponics gardeners cultivate edible fish as well. In this video, Rob shows us the aquaponics greenhouse in his Connecticut backyard, that he built...

Diy hydroponic pods (Hpp)

Medialibraryinfo@gmail.com +1-313-651-5349 Media Library Text 313-777-3031 H.p.p. hydroponic pods Okay I'm going to build a grow Tower and put these hydroponic pods on to the Grove Towers. But we have to start somewhere so here's the Prototype and then we kill upgrade them from there. There was a few things I didn't like, as I hung it outside to see how it would fare in the weather So to continue the experiment I made a different configuration not exactly what I was going for but it seems to be holding up so I put the drip feed into it now this drip-feed is manual that means I'll have to check it every day until I find the pump to pump the water up to the top. The video shows how the manual drip system is working, an automatic system will be added as we upgrade this system but for now we want to show that we can feel the water jug and it wi...

Computerizing your compost, it's possible

It's time that media library give you more of the story, what do I mean more well we always told you that we've coined phrases like over Unity. Which doesn't mean you're getting more power out then you put in, that's goes other guys. But we've always been inventive and finding new ways to improve your life the natural way. Composting as you see can do a very good job heating your greenhouse and your house or whatever but that's just part as you see can do a very good job heating your greenhouse and your house or whatever but that's just part the story, what you're going to have to do is understand what is going on in these compost, and I'm not talkin about the inner workings of compost I'm talking about after I do all of my yard waste goes into a digester and the computer takes over and when it no longer uses expels it out of the system which goes into a secondary system biochar which goes into a third system back into compost to get a natura...
