It got cold last night. The next few days will be a test. I've been looking forward to see how things handle in the cold...
Last night, the power converter turned off again. The battery juice was pooling too much. I now realize I need to ration out using my work station for graphics, and video work, but at night when it's super cold I can use the laptop. I'll also need to make other precautions to keeping warm. I've got a good sleeping bag I can use, and I also have a jacket perfect for cold temps. I'm already wearing my futuristic pants, so these extra's should do fine. If not I have a few other heating devices. Those may be good for showing in videos.
I made an update vid today, even though I'm going live in a few hours from now.
Here's the vid:
I built this thing very insulated, so it's well ready to test out the cold. We'll see how it handles the livestream.
Here are some past videos you may like
I'll have to some time make these more an area of their own, but this is all growing into it's own thing - but I'm getting off the grid, but being super techy and anarcho-cryptonite so my videos are picking up:All of your support with helping me be able to travel around, be creative, and blog on Steempower is very much appreciated!!!
UV and RS for you
I did not know looking down all your videos and posts here - we had so much in common WRT being offgrid, bushcraft and related outdoors gear and uses, and all that -- neat!
It was about -15C here in Canada last nite and I am still tweaking my cold weather outdoor sleep system so I was in the hammock til 4 am and I just could not figure out the shift in 2 small areas in the hammock in the snow and freezing so had to call it a night and come inside. Something shifted in there and I did not want to spend more time that night on it lol

It was -27°C here the other day. Don't try this in Saskatchewan.

I think your house would fit inside my wood pile. If I was living in that camper here, I'd be piling snow around it, damn near burying it.

ha! Yep, it is about that time again! I was born in 71, I am from Oshawa - we have had a ton of talent go to the Show or at least play Jr. and or head overseas to play, a pile of my buddies played and got drafted. Some in baseball too.

I think the last time we chatted 3 weeks or so? ago -- it was about the dry vs. wetter cold btw. our 2 areas and how I have been your way - the -50 dry cold and it was completely comfortable. The wet cold here gets in your bones and is tough to deal with.

Good luck, I hope it hold up to the cold, just remember the mining rigs can help produce heat so that might be good instead of the heater so you making money and heat lol.

The way the electricity works in this thing is tricky. I can't power even a coffee maker, so for it to work on my workstation is a miracle. Has to be 12v or less.

Hey @officialfuzzy,
Just started following your videos and I am really impressed with how aware you are of the Crypto-world in all aspects of the matter and how well you are able to develop content and simplify topics of interest in your Hangouts & Steemit Posts.
I would like to inquire about what inspired you to initially start constructing a mobile Steemit powered home?
While I am aware there is many possibilities and opportunities that may come of it, I am curious to know if it a move towards escaping the grid from an oppressive government, a personal desire to travel, or simply an experiment to see if it can be done.
Apologies as I am sure you have addressed this previously, and once again my hats off to you for the amazing work.
Looking forward to your upcoming posts and it's a safe bet I will be coming at you with a whole lot more questions, until then..
Best

You are hella-strange, and I positively love that.
Happy Trails, John!
How many GPUs are in that workstation? I have some friends who are making miners that just so happen to be for heating a home.... sound good to you?
