#shorts In this video, I share my current weekly diet & exercise routine while I live full time at my off grid cabin in the woods. Day 1 consists of a 15 minute core workout, followed by a 1 hour run (legs & cardio workout). Day 2 exercise is focused on weight lifting (chest & triceps). Day 3 begins by hitting the core again for 15 minutes, then a weight lifting session (back & biceps). Day 4 is my active recovery day (AKA rest day). I often go for a short walk or hike to prepare for the cycle to start again the next day. I also share my current diet by taking you along for a trip to the grocery store, and prepare 4 meals throughout the week. I hope this video gives you some ideas for things you can try, as well as motivate you to push a little harder than you currently are. Shoot for the stars, land on the moon! Thanks for watching!

#shorts In this video, I do my best to explain how to read a tape measure. By breaking the tape measure down from its more simple labels/marks/lines, to its more complex attributes, I hope I can help those of you who are not yet aware how to read a tape measure. Not surprisingly, less and less of us know the art of reading a tape. I hope this video can be shared with as many people as possible (specifically amongst the youth) to help them learn this vital skill that is used in countless professions on a daily basis. Everyone should know how to read a tape measure. Spread the word! Thanks for watching!

In order to finish it, I did my own tape, texture, primer and paint. Using mostly tools I already had (plus some I made myself) I did my own hand texture using a scrap sheet of Tyvek. I've been procrastinating this project due to a fear of doing a poor job texturing. I had never done any drywall before this project. But I think it turned out looking pretty good considering everything. Be not afraid of doing things yourself, you can do it! All you gotta do is try!

In this video, I embark on a trail running adventure along the Lewis River Trail in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. I make it to Bolt Camp which was originally built in 1931 and restored years later. Along the way I catch some great views of giant evergreen trees, natural caves, cliffs, and so much more. This is episode 11 of workout wednesday. Thanks for watching!

In this restoration project video, I restore an old true 2" cedar door. I acquired the door from my friend Al aka DB Cooper (seen in my previous video about his life living off grid for 46 years, and on episodes of The Adventure Agents on YouTube). I restored the door through a process of sanding the wood, re-painting the metal, replacing the handles, making a custom tree cutout for the window insert, and reframing the opening for the door at my off grid cabin.

In this video, I meet with Al (80 years of age) one year after helping him rebuild/refurbish his hydroelectric water wheel. We discuss how the wheel has been performing since, and some of the issues he's faced with it, as well as solutions and plans going forward. Al then gives me a more in-depth view of how he has managed to live on his property in rural Washington state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States for 46 years. A combination of solar power, his water wheel, and a backup generator provide him with off grid power. While a natural spring provides gravity fed drinking water to his main house, as well as his many unique and custom built out-buildings (including a sauna cabin). Al and I conclude our visit by hiking to the highest point on his 40 acre parcel of land to catch a view of Mt St Helens and reminisce about the 1980 eruption.

#shorts Link to the full 40 minute video: https://youtu.be/_6kCczThIII In this video, my family and I go on 5 amazing, free admission adventures on the big island of Hawaii. First, mom and I hike to a secret spot known by the locals as "Narnia" for a hike-and-dive adventure in natural riverbed pools. We then travel by Jeep with my stepdad Tim and Uncle Steve to the "Green Sand Beach". Accessible by 4x4, ATV, bike, or on foot, this secluded beach gave us some amazing views and great swimming. Next, my Mom and I rode bicycles to a Black Sand Beach formed by the 2018 Puna Lava Flow. More adventuring led to Coconut Island for some diving, swimming and fishing. And on our final adventure of the video, Mom and I did a trail run over the lava and through the mud to Shipman Beach, which can only be reached on foot via the Puna Historic Trail. I highly recommend anyone traveling to the Big Island of Hawaii check out any of these amazing places for some fun adventures of your own. PLEASE NOTE: I intentionally omitted directions for each of these locations. Some of them are hard to find and secluded. If everyone knew how to find them easily, they would become overly crowded and thus, lose their appeal. Remember, finding secret spots is part of the adventure! Don't be lazy!

In this video, I pick up where I left off last week inside the new room at my off grid cabin. After finishing the framing and insulation of the room, it was time to hang the drywall. I used a Buildman Metaltech Drywall and Panel Hoist to assist with installing the sheetrock on the ceiling, then I finished the walls using a ladder. I also had to account for cutting out holes for 3 electrical outlets, as well as 2 lights in the ceiling, and 1 light switch box near the front door. Thanks for watching!

In this video, I record my first workout in my new home gym setup, inside the newly renovated off grid workshop! I use my Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells to workout my chest and triceps. Then I pack my REI backpack and strap on my La Sportiva boots to climb to the top of a nearby mountain and enjoy a solo campfire and epic views.

#shorts Link to the full 47 minute video: https://youtu.be/KQTM_UXmykY In this short video, I remodel my garage at my off grid cabin. I began by insulating and sheeting all of the walls inside the garage. Using R-15 fiber glass insulation with a kraft face, I filled all the cavities between the 2x4 framed walls, then covered the insulation using recycled materials that were donated to me by several friends. Along with insulating and sheeting, I reorganized the shelving and did some trim work around the 2 windows of the garage. Next, I installed new LED lights in the rafters. After that, I insulate and sheet the ceiling / attic. Using R-38 fiber glass insulation with a kraft face, I filled all the cavities between the 2x4 rafters, then covered the insulation using free drywall / sheetrock from my grandpa's garage. Finally, I finish sheetrocking the ceiling inside my garage at my off grid cabin.

In this video, I begin a brand new project at my off grid cabin... the deck room! The previous owners of this cabin in the woods built walls onto the old deck and created a new room out of it. However, they never completed it. Now it's time to finish it! I must begin by finishing the framing of the 2x6 and 2x4 walls and filling the cavities in the ceiling between the rafters with fiberglass insulation. Tune in next week to see me hang the drywall.

Finally, I finish sheetrocking the ceiling inside my garage at my off grid cabin. I also finish insulating the attic. I complete this phase of my garage remodel by building an access door to the attic, framing it with 2x4 lumber and trimming it with some leftover scrap wood.

In this video, my Mom and I run the 2.9 mile (one way) Puna Historic Trail on the big island of Hawaii to Shipman Beach. Despite the rain, we had a fantastic adventure running through the mud, over lava and through the jungle. We also saw multiple turtles in the water once we reached the beach! I encourage anyone who visits the big island to take part in their own Puna Trail Adventure!
