I’m a photographer by trade & have spent over 15 years simplifying my life, focusing on the important questions that have haunted me my entire life; why are we here & what is our ultimate purpose. I have some things to say on that subject, but I am more interested in how we all get to the point of reflection
What event caused a change in our lives. Outside of my intermittent disappearance into nature for extended periods at a time, I am using the long work days of setting up an inhabitable small cabin outside of West Yellowstone to condense the train of thought down to its purest form in an attempt to to keep one foot firmly planted in the sanity of life today and to stay ahead of bills and the other navigating the chaos that is nature and all the amazing lessons it can teach

China (Where the old seize the day)
I travel for a lot of reasons. I love older places rich in history, but every time I get my fill of museums, castles, old pubs etc, it always comes down to what the people who live there are like which sparks my memories of the trip itself.
I applied for a visa and traveled to China to see if the Cormorant fishermen were still out there doing what they had always done historically now that newer technologies were available.
They were very old, but top my delight were still there.That was AMAZING..but I came home with an unexpected favorite memory.. It was there vitality of the older generation and their appoach to life, fitness, health and community..This short little video can help explain bette,. I hope.

Harbor Freight 100 watt solar panel (Not so bad)
Переглядів 6426 місяців тому
There is a lot of junk at Harbor Freight, but are some things at that are too good to pass up. The 100 watt panels range from @$100 - 140 depending of sales, deals promos etc..but a 100 watt panel pulling 97 watts is worth mentioning. Along with the class of Predator generators, this to me at least is a great buy

8 x 12 foot Greenhouse build

We needed to extend the season a few months up here in Montana, so a greenhouse just made too much sense. As most panels are 4x 8 and most 2x 6, and 2x 4's are 8 feet, An 8 x 12 footprint made sense in so many ways to eliminate waste Also the local deer will have a tough time getting to the veggies this year I just winged this but like the way it came out, if there are any questions about cost,...

God made Chet for me, i adopted him from a great rescue❣🐾🐾🐕✝️🇺🇸👀
God bless! Cheat. And you for rescuing him
Good one,sir.Dogs are the greatest.
Agreed. And thanks
Exactly! He made a dog. Why? He made a dog to show us people what true unconditional love is. Unfortunately He failed. So many people have not learned anything about love, let alone compassion, understanding, loyalty. We dog lovers we thank Him for this precious gift from Heaven that is making our life here worth living thanks to a dog.
Well said. Although so many are increasingly closed off to the idea of God, they (dogs in my life) represent everything you describe so well in regards to unconditional love keep and it simply me sane. People have seem to have lost that part of themselves for the most part but I always try my best to acknowledge the gifts like this and that’s where this video came from is all..
Cool
Roo cute
Being Asian, the way we treat our elder infuriates me, and the way the old who are rich and influential but continues to hold on to power and sideline anyone that challenge them young or otherwise remains me of King Lear.
Anytime I travel I try to stay only in the cities where the money is just to decompress from the trip and plan the rest of my trip. I enjoyed my time and the people much more out west. The smaller villages offer much more culture and the people are very kind. I got the impression the elderly were light on their feet vs the younger generation. But maybe that’s just me
Very nice…. Just found you again checking up on your cubic mini and came across this….Very special
Thank you so much. Happy you found me. The Cubic Mini stove is still plugging along. It made it through minus 30 F a few weeks ago.
Great short review! 😁👍 Thank you!
Nice.
I have four of them and they work great. I also just added a two hundred watt panel bringing me up to 600 watts of solar. It charges my 100 ah lithium battery in no time
Snow is doing it for you. All that reflected light is hitting that panel from every direction!
I think you are dead on..I wasn't sure so I didn't add that, but believe you are correct..
It’s sunny out. I just haven’t had luck I guess. I just want solar panels to tend my boat battery and they don’t. My dock is sunny most of the time.
That sucks and is strange. I have 3 and they all work fine. But they don’t do great unless it’s full sun. The amorphous panels pull more in partial shade but are only 25 watts each
@@bearlylivable I’m glad it works for you though. My boat sucks down its battery for its sump and my panel must not be big enough. Appreciate the video
dog。 言葉の意味とは、怒鳴り散らかす愚かな、有害人種達。
Do Yupik think some of the heat issue might be the loft area since heat rises? A way to keep more of the heat down?
Yeah I was thinking of putting up a battery or solar powered fan to circulate it down but the eco fan works pretty well.
thank you god for dogs. thank you for the nine years i had with my dog bobo.
Amen to that, brother
absolutely amazing!!! sooo beautiful!!
Isn't she, though?
While I've not seen albino or a black whitetail I've been fortunate enough to see several pie bald. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
You have me on that one. I almost forgot about them. They’re beautiful for sure.
Your life in the wilderness has positively affected those around you. Way to go Chris. God will keep leading you to the right places, at the right times.
Thank you brother. Hope all is well with you and the family.
Skip the inverter all together. Make an XT60 adapter that can connect to your 12v Battery to that yellow plug on the back. Or plug the panel right into the yellow plug (don't exceed the ratings on the back). How was it all connected when it "fried"?
Not sure what happened because it’s the way I always have done it in the past but for some reason the car adapter, which is the only adapter I have that comes out of the ecoflow to the solar panels just fried for some reason. I only had 200 W coming in and the load should have not been too hot. But I like your idea and when I get back into civilization, I might bring the whole thing back and try what you suggested. Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it.
Here I am 3 yrs after your post saying, Great Tips. Love the disk tip! My "hobbie job" after retiring is tree removal so access to hard wood, at this point, is continuous 😁 Enjoyed both vids on this stove!
Getting hard woods requires a lot of energy output. So you’re winning on a few fronts. Keeping long hot fires going to keep you warm and getting in the kind of shape people who lives long “blue zone” lives do by gathering and cutting it all. Good stuff!
This is "my own personal opinion." But I think that there is a very valid reason that "Dog" is "GOD" spelled backwards! Because a "Dog" is the closest thing on Earth, to the Love and Character of an ALL Loving, ALL Knowing, ALL Powerful, ALL Merciful, ALL Forgiving, EVER Present, Patient and HOLY GOD! A Dog Loves Unconditionally! GOD Loves Unconditionally! A Dog is Patient! GOD is Patient! A Dog Forgives Completely! GOD Forgives Completely! A Dog is always there waiting for us! GOD is always there waiting for us! A Dog is Devoted and Faithful! GOD is Devoted and Faithful! A Dog knows what we are feeling! GOD KNOWS what we are feeling! A Dog is a staunch Protector of their pack! GOD is a staunch Protector of HIS pack or people! Yes, there most definitely are several "Very Valid Reasons" that "Dog" is "GOD" spelled backwards. Because a "Dog" is the closest thing on Earth to the Love and Character of GOD! That's "My Opinion" and I'm sticking to it!
You won’t find any argument from me You described with eloquence each gift they give us and “ to me” at least, are gifts straight from God .
@@bearlylivable Amen!
Absolutely Beautiful and I agree 100%
P.s. how long did it take to build this? Just hauling those huge rocks would’ve take me 3 months! Another thing I’m impressed with is how well you’re able to get up off the ground when you’ve been flat on your back working!
Sandy, it took a little over 2 months. Weather was a hinderance and all that staining took some time up front. But it saved me time on the back end. And getting off the ground is my life’s motto but it’s getting harder physically each year. Lots of crickety old bones But I use these projects as substitutes for long days at the gym or out on the trail.
Those sweet deer were eating you out of house and home! 🤗 I like that little flex saw-will google how it works and what to use it on! I like gadgets! Can’t believe you still have and are wearing your 20+ year old LA Triathlon shirt! You’ve done a wonderfully bang up job on your greenhouse Chris! You’re soooo gifted with so many talents my friend!
I sure hope I order all of the right flu pipes when I order my Grizzly! I'm glad you made this video so I can hopefully measure right!
Awesome. I like it when people learn from my mistakes. Good luck and if you have any questions I’ll do my best to help
@@bearlylivable thank you so much!
Amazing photography. Nice work.
Nice video. I remember watching your channel.
Looks like you really get around. You seem to like doing the same kinds of things as me. Very nice video.
I’ve been following you for a while. There’s something about hearing raw footsteps walking through places like YSP that is very relaxing. I think I need to do more videos like that with less commentary. But it can be hard staying quiet when I see so much beauty
Good video but you held your phone the wrong way at first
Does this stove come with the Village and the People as well?
Go bigger or stay home. Space vs comfort. All night burn and once a month clean out.
The grizzly can burn coal. Pick up a bag and throw a few on the fire before sleeping. Will burn all night long and add some logs when u wake up.
Thank you. I’m going to have to try that. Last night was below zero and I’m sick of waking up every 2 or 3 hours.
It suits you perfectly.
Stunning and beautiful. The music works well with the visuals.
So Beautiful!
Excellent Chris
Thank you Justin. Love your tag line (Justincase), by the way.
Please share.
Watched, and shared!
You’re the best. Thank you!!
@@bearlylivable np! Everytime I see a vet I tell them ty for your service. I try to donate to a different charity for vets every month. It pisses me off how this country treats our vets!
Nice! My question: What did you put around the part where the flue is connected to the top of the woodstove, because smoke comes out of that spot. I tried a couple kinds of high temp caulking without any luck so far. Any good suggestions? Thank you, all the best.
I would definitely contact the cubic mini stove people. That should not happen at all. You may need to eventually pull that pipe to help clean the flue anyway and sealing it with calk would be a pain to take off, clean and reapply. They are good people from my dealings with them so far. I would think they would replace the part that is leaking. You also don’t need any excess C02 which could get dangerous. The bottom section of the flue should snug on perfectly.
…..but in the meantime while we are in winter you may need a temporary fix until they help you right now..if so, there is this silver tape you can buy at HD or Lowe’s that will seal it. I’d check the heat rating first. If that don’t work you may have to seal it with a high heat caulking like you initially suggested.
@@bearlylivable Thanks for the reply. Yeah whats weird is that my flue doesnt sit flush with the stove top. I dont know why. Ill just use furnace cement and see if that works.
Get hard wood and for starter get Fat wood / pine . Once started if you put the right wood and stack it right it should do better
You are correct. I arrange the 2 “ wood disc into a stacked pyramid shape. Burns much hotter/ slower too
Hi Chris, It was good to see you, Laura and Henry in your video. I understand what you are saying.
Haa. You’re one of the few. I hope you Weldon are doing well
@@bearlylivable The critters and I are OK. Lots of projects and chores to keep up with. My garden buddy still comes once a week. He is a big help and totally cracks me up. He just turned 9 yesterday.
A excellent stove! Appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us! I have the cub set up in my mini cabin its 100 square feet. I have a few short videos on it Cheers!🙂✌🏼🍻
Thank you. I’ll have to check out your video/cabin
How is the heat on the ceiling directly above the stove? We have found that our ceiling gets alarming hot.
I’ve been watching it. I only went through 3/4 ply and the metal roof so the 3 “ pipe stops just below where the insulated pipe starts. Works pretty well but I’m going to finish it off or trim it out with cement board just to be safe.
@@bearlylivable I was asking about the heat given off of the stove itself. My chimney pipe is not making my ceiling hot, it's the stove itself that is making my ceiling hot. Trim out cement board? How so? What's you plan?
@@throughoureyes5160 My ceiling is about 8 feet above the stove and therefore no issues whatsoever with heat. As for the cement board question,you just scored with a utility knife and snap it apart and clean it up from there. But will protect any wood that might be absorbing heat. Other than that I have no different plan
@@bearlylivable Ahhh I see now. Trim meant "cut to size". Thanks man! I see that in the video now. Plenty of clearance. Have you used the stove yet and slept next to it? Was it to hot?
@@throughoureyes5160 not so far this fall. We are still in the low 70s at day and 30s at night. Still have the window cracked. But I’ve used in it below 0 degrees F temps and with that fan blowing the air right at the bed we sleep like logs. Excuse the pun:)
I'd like to know this man in reality, he is so funny. A guest came over and said I'm going home, to cold for him, cracks me up
You should see how hot that guy keeps his own place. I go over and immediately open a few windows and hide from his wood stove. He’s the funny one😄
I see on their website they encourage leaving a window open or getting the wall mount with the air flow intake. I’m curious how many actually leave a window open? I’m aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide buildup. The floor mount works best for the space I have, and I want to be safe but also practical considering I’ll be using it during a snowy winter. Your setup looks awesome by the way 🙂
Hi Jackie. I always have a co2 monitor close by and so far I’ve had no issues. We are mostly hovering around zero degrees here much of the winter here and I don’t crack my window’s because it’s all I can do to keep it warm as it is. Maybe others have had different experiences but so far so good. 😊 good luck!
@@bearlylivable thank you for the reply. A wall mounted one isn’t ideal for my space but having one without the air flow intake was a little concerning. So I figured I’d ask around to some actual users of the stove. 🙂
@@bearlylivable another question, what do you use as the base/floor of your stand for the wood stove? Getting conflicting suggestions on what would be a good material to use.
@@jackiedavidson682 with this little stove there’s not much heat under it I made my base with 2x6s and wrapped the top with black tin. I wanted some storage under for the wood and this worked for me You could get away with something similar, maybe add some cement board
CMWS is an excellent company that wants to make sure that people are as safe as possible in any situation, so I don’t doubt that their safety measures are written with the best of intentions. However, it is nearly impossible to build a house that is truly air tight and leakage even in well-insulated homes will provide more than enough fresh, oxygenated air to replace the air used by one of their stoves. Also, we all learned in physics class that heat rises, so there is little chance of anything under the level of the stove becoming hot enough to combust. My stove is on a wooden platform and even when it is at its hottest, the wood underneath is still cool enough to touch.
Hobby lobby is the best
So true
How can you keep the door window clear, so you can see the fire?
It cleans pretty easy with normal glass cleaners or even water, but when I get it real hot it just burns off. At least most of it does. You may still have a little left around the corners
I love your DIY description of yourself, very good and very funny
Thanks J&J
I found your channel because of your Cubic Mini Stove video. Stayed around because my goal is to buy and build a something similar in northern Idaho.
Your timing may be great as I’m guessing property value should dip this fall and normalize somewhat. It’s gotten a bit crazy the last 2 years, especially near Yellowstone Good luck. Try to find a south facing building spot and with mature trees. Really helps in the winter and keeps the wind at bay.
