Tactics from this video
-
Put a cast iron teapot on a wood stove to add humidity to the air.
Wood stoves dry out indoor air, which can cause cabinets to warp and create discomfort.
-
Collect fallen logs from roadsides for free, seasoned firewood.
The wood is already dried and seasoned, and removing it clears the roadside.
-
Prepare for colder weather by stocking extra power, water, and food.
Winter and unpredictable events can disrupt supplies.
-
Remove and charge a car battery if the vehicle will sit unused for over a month, especially if the radio has a constant-on light.
Prevents the battery from draining due to parasitic draw.
Figures cited
- 71° — daytime temperature during the walk
- 40° — nighttime temperature the previous night
- five and a half hour drive — travel time to his other remote property
