We absolutely love this 100% offgrid firetub. No moving parts means nothing to breakdown. The hot water provides self circulation. This past winter we wrote an article about how we heat the water we use in our cabin and this just might be our next project!

🌲🪚Been there done that and now we don’t have to.

So we did something CRAZY. We swapped out our trusty nine year old gas chainsaw for an electric one and OMG why didn’t we do this sooner! Lighter, cheaper, quieter, no fuel or oil to buy, carry, or spill. No choke, no pull cord, no smell, no vibrations. Recharges in less than an hour for zero cost using our off grid solar system. Perfect for processing firewood and basic yard work around the cabin https://amzn.to/3W7Dau8

We also have a detailed off grid tools section you might find handy.

Save time and money by reclaiming used nails with a de-nailer 🔨

When you’re building in a remote location off the grid every nail counts. You can’t just hop in the car and run out to a local hardware store to pick up a bag. With a de-nailer you can straighten and remove used nails much easier than with a framing hammer.

We even created a special section covering all the tools we use when building and living off grid.
