The Do It Yourself World
Join us and follow along as we strive to become fully self sufficient and off the grid on our 18 acre homestead in the woods. My wife Melanie, our daughter Michelle, and I moved in the spring of 2017 to our new homestead in Northern lower Michigan.
We are surrounded by wild State forest land teaming with wildlife. For many, this is vacation paradise. For us, this is home. There are very few full time people around, which ads to the wildness and the beauty of the area. This also leaves us pretty much alone in the quiet and peaceful forest.
We are raising chickens for meat, eggs and for some extra money to help pay the bills. We grow our own food to help offset the cost of groceries. We hunt and fish for meat as needed and to stock up for the harsh winter months.
We hope to become more and more independent of the grocery stores with time and eventually become fully self sufficient.
We are putting up solar panels and battery backup systems to power our meager needs in our off grid tiny house. We use primarily wood heat to keep us warm in the cold winter months.

Weekend Trip To Beautiful Mackinaw City To Beat The Heat
It was going to be over 90 degrees at home so we packed our gear and went to Mackinaw for the weekend. This video is from last week. We are a bit behind because my computer was fried and I am now catching up.
There is a nice, cool breeze from the water up North because the lake temperature is still in the 40s. Although the air temperature is hot, it is cooler by the lake.
We had a nice time just checking out small beaches and hidden little areas, looking for stones and fossils.
Back at camp in the evening we had coffee over the SilverFire Scout camp stove.
We cooked our dinner on the same stove. Later we had a small fire and had smores before heading off to bed.
The next morning was already 80 degrees but we headed to the beach to start our day.
Stay tuned for part two of this trip.
