What is a juicer, how much power does it use, and why would I want one? Ever wonder if you’d ever be able to drop some of those pesky pounds that seem to creep onto your frame over the years? Well, something funny happened to me about 6 weeks ago; I stumbled into watching a documentary on Netflix. It got me thinking, and experimenting some with what I eat. The good news is that the power required for the new appliance turns out to be reasonably low.
The documentary I watched was, Fat Sick & Nearly Dead. Its about this Australian guy wh0 travels
When we started this genverters.com project, I swore that I’d never start any post or article with the phrase, “its been a long time”. Well it must be getting a lot colder down below because: Its been a long time. There, I said it, and we can move on to other items of interest making your remote off grid move a little easier and more understandable.
[Editors note: We'll begin with a few catch up posts here to fill in a few key items related to having a remote off grid home. There are several new power articles in the works related to our system changes I'm sure you'll find interesting.]
Keeping animals in your homestead can be very rewarding but economically and intrinsically. Nothing like watching the antics of the sheep or goats in the snow from the comfort of your cozy wood heated home. Caring for you four footed friends in the winter will always present challenges. Some you can prepare for, others just happen.

Today we had one of those less common situations when Ondra reported some trouble feeding the ruminants. “Tyee (Llama) has her head stuck in a
Winter in the mountains can always throw surprises your way. This last weekend we watched time and the season itself warp from winter to spring. This created some good opportunities and some unpleasant reminders. But first, what exactly happened?
Nice normal winter
Last week it was mid winter around here which usually means temperatures between 15-25 F, and two to three, or four feet of snow with the drifts. And thats exactly what we had. Of course for this time of year there were those occasional annoying problems that come with the territory. One of the 3 snowmobiles had a broken frame bolt and needed a visit to the shop. Unfortunately the pickup was accidentally stuck up top near the house for the winter when we missed bringing it down by 1 day and 18″ of new snow.
Wow, its hard to believe how fast things happen once the first snows happen. All those ’round tuits’ get buried and the important projects happen out of necessity. Fortunately the important items like firewood and fuel are taken care of.
Snowmobiles
On the snowmobile front, I never got them all fired up and ready before the snow, but my favorite one did start. Its a Polaris XLT, which stands for extra light triple. The machine before we got this one was fun and fast and I nicknamed it the Ferrari, because
Last year I wrote about the “Brink of winter” that described all the various activities we must complete before we get snowed in and switch to snowmobile transportation. Every year is different and has its own unique twist, just like the weather. Below is a quick video of our experience this year (so far).
