Preparing For The ULTIMATE TEST | Winter Storm Warning
Shop Our Apparel: www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/wild-wonderfull-off-grid
Upgrading our off-grid solar power system has been a major undertaking but we are finally on the last leg of the project- installing 20 additional 425w solar panels. With more ice and snow on the way we are excited to have the panels installed and the fully upgraded system up and running in time to put the solar power system to the ultimate test... an icy winter storm with clouds for days!
We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"
If you are interested in how alternative energy could be useful for you, take a look at how Texas is under winter storm warning for the first time in history. nlworld.info/key/video/xnppia3QZGx3i2c Being off-grid with a system capable of handling extreme cold and a series of cloudy days allows us to be energy independent of any power company.

Watching these videos I'm like I could build my own house, but wait i dont posses Josh's know how 😭
That’s aloottta volts. Big volts small wire. Can’t wait to see how it puts out
What an amazing couple/ Family, so inspiring, just love watching their videos, they make me laugh and just make my day at times, I think if everyone were like these 2 precious people, the world would be a better place , I'm sure of it. Josh and Erin, you guys are awesome. God bless you both in what ever you do in your future builds. I'm a fan and will be watching folks.
Living in San Antonio and going 36 hours in freezing temperatures, with no power really makes me want to get off the grid. It was absolutely miserable! And I didn’t have it half as bad as many other families. Keep up the great videos!
이분들은 설국열차에 꼭 탑승시켜야.....
I'm curious with ice and wind, is it just the size of the vertical pipes that keep it from being pushed with bent pipes to the ground. I'll have to go back and look at prior videos for the suppot pole sizing. Love your videos!
So when will the Subscribers Concert in the pasture be ? Post Corona Woodstock WV :-)
I know you might not read thi but you’re so right in doing this electric thing especially after what happened in Texas you are in charge of your destiny and you won’t get that outrageous bill people are getting
So young and so wise! Her way of raising her children and building her story is beautiful and an example for all generations. I wanted to be your neighbor. But I live in Brazil, it's a long way away. You are wonderful. I wish all the luck and happiness in the world for this beautiful family.
always enjoy your videos can you monitor from the yet? I know you mentioned you were going to set that up I may have missed it.
Hey guys what's up with latest update.....you guys doing great work. Keep up!
I love how Erin busts Josh's chops! The key point is self sustainability is not easy, yet these hard working Americans prove it is attainable. Kudos
Also does Erin have any single sisters?
Josh and Erin watched you both putting up all 20 solar panels. Both did good. Josh I got scared for you when your coat got caught in the solar panels on very top. You need more extra hands to help you both out. Ask your family or friends to come out to help. Safety first. Erin is a hugh help and she does so much. This advise want give both Josh and Erin. Pls be safe. God Bless you both and lovely children.
Josh gets everything done with his pliers and a screw driver.
Alohaaaa!!! Good to see y’all getting at it still. I haven’t dropped in for a year or so. Awesome job folk’s.🌾🛖🌾ML&Aloha Your Boy Kekoa&Ohana.🌺🤙🏽
Schneider Electric excellent electrical equipment that you use in your installation number one in Europe.
I love each and every video... been watching since beginning when u guys put that A frame lol and damn you both are an amazing team.... too much work and not everyone got those tools but it’s awesome please put more videos and it makes my day awesome
A little hint for ya. Have the ladder rungs face your task, and your weight keeps the ladder stable.
Wouldn't a wind turbine also be a good addition for more energy independance ? Does your area have a lot of wind compared to sunshine?
Erin it looks like Josh was head over heels into this project wasn't he? Great work guys and we're following you here in Lycoming County P.A.
Men are superduper walkaround ovens for womens feezing Hands (Day) & Feet (Night). Aka "Boyfriend" :-D ❤
Watching you guys handle metal poles and fasteners when it's so obviously cold out makes my teeth hurt in sympathy. Your work ethic is amazing! 🥶
I just love watching you guys! You make me dream to have the same freedom although in South Africa with farm murders being a really big issue it is more scary than I think in America. Please do a video on the peruvian chicken recipe! Josh makes us all very excited about that chicken! ❤
Great channel. Great job on the house, the farm and raising three great children. You really show how hard work, fun and love for one another can be a great combination.
I live in USA 24 years .
I m from Brazil but I love see you guys.. 🌷
Hello Guys, Josh, What was the ball park cost of the home if you didn't build it yourself? labor and materials. Looking at A frame plans but all are small sq. footage, yours not so much : ) you guys are coming along fantastic!! looking great! congrats on the lambs as well! AR. Best Regards.
Watching from Canada, it soooo amazing, love you guys blessings all the wayyyyyy.
How did u learn how to put a solar system together
This is what I called a great family I mean great in everything they do. Luv you guys😍😍😍😍
Hay blitz Schutz nicht vergessen,,!!!! لاتنسى حماية الرعد ،،!
Your videos are great. Only wish is that other DIY’s would look at your videos to learn how to do things right. Keep up the great work. Looking forward.
سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته 🌹😘🙏💎
屋頂全都用太陽能板，應該會很省電
The delightful sycamore definitely expand because push immunologically slip toward a super zoo. wandering, four frail night
Are those bolts enough to hold them on in high winds?
vcs são engenheiros????
Wow! Over 800k subs! I've been following your channel since the beginning. Love your channel. Love your life. Love how you are raising your children. Love the love you have for each other. You are a great example of how a husband and wife should treat each other. Keep those videos coming!
With the Upgraded Solar system, do you have an idea on what you have invested in it as far as a total dollar amount?
Hi Guys nice work
Love to see a schematic of how this all wired up!
That's an amazing array! What kinds of windage might it withstand?
I was used just watching one Video after another. Now that i have to wait until a News Video comes out, cause i am through all you videos, makes it even more fun. But it's over so fast every time.🥺 Love watching you how you make progress!!
Congrats on the continued success of your channel guys!! Great job on these projects!
Привет. Что то ваша солнечная энергетика не работает на 100 процентов. Если вы меня поняли скажите что то по русски. Ваш Виталий.
I want to know how they get internet service? Do they have internet service?
So cold there, take care yourself friend 😊 Please everyone enjoy this video and please all stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰🥰🥰
سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته🌹🙏🌹😘😘😘😘😘😘💎
I love the way you both deal with the problems you experience and the humor alongside. Every time great to watch 👍🏼👏
u could use this massive structure as a shelter for your animals
YOU GUYS DO GREAT WORK TOGETHER......LOVE THE VIDEO GUYS!!! !!👍
Josh is a great engineer btw ...
Josh: I do torque off camera"........lol
I'm so happy for ya'll.
Just soon as I can find out where I can buy them I'm going to buy y'all one of those thermoses that's in the Sun so that anytime you're out in the snow you'll always be warm God bless you all
I love how well you two work together 😊
Tell my Gigi that,I would wish if she could come and spend the weekend with me.i would love her to come here on Fridays after evenings and leave on Sundays evenings to her parents house or if she wants she could move in with me because am very serious with her
You guys make this stuff look fun, but it's really a lot of hard work. Putting on happy faces even when the storm is blowing all around is very thoughtful of you. Thank you for sharing the good vibes, hope you feel them returning right back to you. 💗
I was thinking that maybe y'all could take a push broom and leave it under the solar panels to have to sweep snow buildup off when necessary. Fantastic Job Guys. L8R
Is she giving an uppercut in the thumbnail or a neck grab?? 🧐😬
Ive missed last week video, and today I get to watch two of them. Question, if you not mind, what camera you are using?
Love you guys! Most hard working team I've ever seen.
My favorite tool! The plammer I use it often! Lol
"Do you not feel good lets go inside then " what an officer and gentleman
Can you make use of the space under the solar panels as a pen for the sheep or does it have to be left open for ventilation?
You could park your Truck and Tractor under your new array keep the snow off them handy way of using the space
Hey josh, I don't understand what you say, neither YT subtitles. You're a great family, congrats for being in the last part of building your home. Greetings from argentina
Great job!! congrats on the expansion.
Hello. Why have you used so strange way for laying pipes without any insulation?
Could you start a hold down fastener at the top of a panel for easy access, slide the upper panel in place, then tighten. Could be a bit easier. Also love to watch the electrician work. Have learned many important (code related)electrical things. My house has the 120V outlets mounted with the ground terminal at the top. (I think it is upside down) But electrical code says there is no correct way. Just wonder what Josh prefers. BTW, foundation forms... how do you get concrete into the top of the form?
Love watching your videos, thanks again
Your tool room is awesome I love it
Good job
You know what you are doing Electrician job And construction, I wish all we can do this Great video! Congratulations!
Josh twerks with a lot of torque. 😂😂😂😂
Have you two ever watched your videos with the Closed Caption on it’s Hilarious!!!!! ✨🔥💥😂🤣😀💥🔥✨
It’s also funny to me to see how many people say “you guys” in the comments! obviously a lady and a gentleman...lol 😆
Y’all did amazing! I was like I’d be no help to my husband installing those panels because I’m way to short 😂 only 5’ 2”....
Do you have a backup generator for the whole house in case your solar goes offline for whatever reason?
I can’t even explain how inspiring you guys have been in our home! This pandemic has been so difficult and your courage to take this on and take ownership for your lives and not have to rely on outside resources as much is amazing! I wish you guys could upload everyday!! Love both your channels 😍
Looks like a big wind sail :)
Hello guys. We live in Indiana and we've been dumped on this week. About 13" so far , I don't like it I'm ready for spring. You two are amazing. Love your channel. Stay safe and warm. God bless.
Hope fencing is in your future or the animals will be making it their jungle gym on that low side.
In our country we get charged a levy for having solar panels and everything thats overflow has to be processed into the main power grid...
I need a Leon T-shirt! So handsome, definitely better looking than Josh. 🤣
I am sure all will go well and survive, it's a great house that you guys have put time and effort into building. It's time to move to other areas of your existence and I am sure we will see some new innovations there.
Good job guy.look like easy for you.I want to do that someday in my farm.
You guys are such role models :)
Wow that's a long slough of a project. I'm sure it will pass the test 🏆
How do you know how to setup all the solar panels and charge controller And specially combining the two parallel systems???
By far my favorite NLworld channel. 🙂
One step, one day at a time and one day you will wake up and realize it is done and it was all worth it. Hope that day is real soon. Your family earned a break. Well Done WWOG Well Done
she should have grabbed his a..
Josh I use to install four seasons sunrooms for a contractor friend of mine when I had my contractor co I told my customers to spray out of weed sprayer windshield washer fluid with antifreeze and in it before snow falls and it also works on windshield it like pre conditioning roads before snow falls slides rite off if not rite away when heat it or it doesn’t stick and makes it easy to brush off
EPIC! I love your videos 📹 😍 ❤
Great job guys, looking good. The one thing I don’t like about these video’s of yours is that they end way too soon (lol) I could watch you guys for hours. Josh reminds me of myself when I was much younger (except I can’t dance like he does). Great job guys, you should be very proud of what you’ve done
If your still on city power than your on grid
Correct. Off grid is defined as not being tied into the electrical grid, public water or sewer. We are not tied into any of those so our home is off grid
14:49 when your partner stands on the bottom rung of the ladder while you are on it that is called "footing the ladder".
Where the hell is your supervisor is he lounging by the fire in the house lazy ass Chuck where are you Haaaaaaaa Good job on the solar stuff guys woo hoo
Just an really amazing job and beautiful family!! Wish you guys all the best from Portugal! 🇵🇹 Take care!
