There's some wet snow coming down and there's no wind. The wimpy winter continues and the temperature is at 32F. (0C). This is a great day to take care of trash at the off-grid cabin. I always try to re-use or recycle but some stuff must be burned. I send very little to the landfill. When we're done I have some moose meat on the grill and I try one of the worst beers I've had in a long time.
Fire and freedom are a great reason to live off grid and not consumes oodles of energy or be into all that consumerism crap.
NY 32 in South Westerlo from Stanton's Westerlo Farm, past the Chase Farm, Town Line Auto, and the former Shepards Resort, now abandoned but apparently being fixed up. The Catskill Mountains are seen in the distance. See also my Greenville video.

With the strange winter season we've been having here, we talk about keeping chickens, our solar system issue, what lights we have found to be tried-and-true, and how we have acclimated to less sun during the shortest days of the year.
I guess if you live off-grid in Alaska during the winter, you really want to have a lot of good flashlights and back-up sources of lighting, especially if your inverter fails.
I always enjoy this Youtube channel, if only because the Alaska tundra reminds me a lot of Dolly Sods in West Virginia with the lack of trees and harsh conditions. Alaska and the tundra are some great country.
