Summer has arrived at my forest cabin, bringing both rewards and challenges. In this video, I prepare my off-grid cabin for the heat by improving my solar power system, building an underground fridge to keep food cool without electricity, and working in the garden to protect my vegetables from pests and wildlife. I also share highlights from teaching a tiny house building course at a permaculture festival and reflect on what it means to live on nature’s terms.
If you enjoy videos about tiny house living, off-grid living, cabin life, simple living, permaculture, gardening, homesteading, self-sufficiency, and life in the forest, I hope you’ll enjoy this journey.
