Fishing For Food & Using Solar Energy On The Homestead

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

We are trying to become self sufficient on our off grid homestead and part of this is fishing for food. We try to grow, catch or kill our own meat and fish. And we have gardens and herb beds to provide our vegetable needs.

In the morning I dug some worms out of our compost bins. It fees very good to be able to save money on fishing bait by even having our own worms on the homestead.

We took the boat to the lake with a solar charged battery and electric motor. We spent the entire day fishing for food. This helps a lot by helping to fill the freezer.

When we got home we had showers using water that was heated by the sun.

We try to use as many natural resources that we can in order to reduce out dependency on the system.

Well, I figure you guys already turned me in for this and nobody came.

Its a private lake.

3 to 5 feet deep.

I guess the authorities were not very concerned.

@thediyworld I just watched your latest video. Why is the baby so rugged up in a parka inside the cabin? What was the temperature there? Leaving a phone to charge (via on grid electricity) within reach of the baby isn’t particularly smart or safe. Your dwellings and both the sheds are 100% on grid, evidenced by you having to use a generator because all of your batteries are dead. The bedini weenie isn’t doing anything to “restore” those junk batteries either.

Just empty words from a nasty troll.

Having a bad morning? Is the brutal cold affecting you?

The electronics and solar expert can't tell the difference between 115 and 230v. There is a confidence builder in his incredible knowledge. Yea, Mr. Off Grid my ass.

Actually I was told by the previous owner and many on the comments that the water pump is 240 volts

I never checked till now.

I guess you are perfect?

Good for you.

Thank you for the comment.

You didn't know it was 120v even after looking at it. I am the person that told you it was 120v and I really regret it. Your level of ELECTRICAL DUMBASS is very apparent to anyone with actual credentials or education.

Actually I did not look at it. I was worried about my knee when I opened the valve down there.

I gave you the credit for that too.

and a reply from a wee little man that can't defend the mistakes he shows in his crap videos

I really love fresh caught fish. You're a lucky man to have found a women who is not only interested in your life plan, but actually participates.

Yes, you have no idea. She is so awesome!!! And she can out fish me any day. And I love it :)

@areagardener Troy Reid’s wife was bought with donations from gullible followers of his youtube channel. He also used some of those funds to then buy a kid’s minibike for him to play with.

He relies heavily on his slave to tend his gardens and chickens so he doesn't starve. He once replied to a comment of mine (I saved the screenshot) that his garden didn't work out and he was sickly from malnourishment. Now his meal ticket is the slave.

Did someone mention exposing the truth?

We simply show videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

If you believe the fishing was fake - if you believe the fish were props - then just find some other source of entertainment.

But harassing us online and in the real world like you do is criminal.

Do you mind if I take a short break from downvoting your comments so I can take a short nap?

You are CRIMINAL FRAUD, SCAMMER and CONMAN. Exposing you is not harassment. You are doer of BAD deeds that you don't want known. You have much to hide, SCAM MAN. How about you STOP jacking elderly cat ladies for donations?
