DIY Off Grid Self Sufficient Living Make Your Own Electricity - Pirate Lifestyle TV ™ Quickie 032

[JennerPomo]

Here you go I am working on a solar power start systeam to start a self powered genorator and it gos like this: you take 1 400 to 1 gear box and add a small electric motor that is powered by the sun and that truns it then get a power gen from a wind gen and stick it on the other in. I am look at a china 300kw but it mit be to heavy. If we can get it to run then we feed some power back to the small motor to keep it running 24/7 thanks.

Watched your intro and I couldn't stop laughing.

You just got yourself a subscriber!!!! ARRRGGGGG!!!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@altSt0rm Thanks! I sincerely appreciate your support. Have a great week. Arrrrrrr. :)

[timohan100]

Cool vids but you need to be a touch smoother reading your cue cards...sorry, was once married to a TV anchor....

[truedtaylor]

Just get what you need out of it you idiot bozos and not what you want. I want to eat cheetos all day and not gain a pound but it ain't gonna happen. Go watch a Britney video for the stimulation you want. This is grown folks/survivalists business here. You wouldn't probably survive a strong breeze without calamity striking you and your "mean girls" lynch mob. agitate the gravel and beat it.

It might be worth realizing that not all your viwers are 6 years old.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@Linqua2112 Ahoy Luke, thanks for taking the time to share your constructive criticism.

[trappedhere2]

[crazylucifer0]

@PirateLifestyleTV dumb trolls good video talking like a school teacher is good. your teaching something thumbs up

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@crazylucifer0 A humble pirate "thank you." Nice of you to take the time to comment and I'm happy to hear you enjoy the videos.

[Beadolltoday]

I have been thinking about this for awhile.

[oshacueru]

OK....but but but, what do solar panels cost as compared to the savings? How long would it take for the savings on the electric bill to pay for the solar system and instulation? No one ever speaks to this aspect of the equation.If its going to take me 50 years to break even then.....whats the use?

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@oshacueru All good points. Clearly, spending $15,000 for a solar system if your electric bill is $100 per month is not a choice a CPA would suggest. But life is more than a balance sheet. There is the quality you can't put a price on. And if you adjust your needs, you can find a middle ground. A lot of it is about being self sufficient, and what happens when the power company doubles your electric rate and it becomes $200 per month?

[ZeddZar]

@PirateLifestyleTV

also, what happens when the power suppliers go out completely....what then. Too late to start crying "I should have bought that solar panel when I had the chance".

Thanks for the vid. All info shared is another nugget in the pocket. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@ZeddZar Aye, very true. Thanks!

[QuartuvLarry]

Ehhh...you're lucky. You have an entire sailboat! All I have is a sea kayak, so I'll have to be fairly close to land throughout (the upside is that this baby can shallow to within a foot of water! Hehe!)

Can you establish some sort of trade from your watercraft?

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@QuartuvLarry Lots of full-time cruisers have some type of trade/career.

[QuartuvLarry]

@PirateLifestyleTV Really? What trade or business might you avail to a loner in a kayak?

[entmage]

random side cut, lol



[PirateLifestyleTV]

@entmage Aye, this video I played with the side-shot edit. Last video I played with the talkin' parrot. I am practicing editing at your expense! Arrrrr.

[trtoy63]

ARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Pushing the limits can be a good Pirate Thing To Do !!!! Lets See the Butts !!!!

[keynorthwestlife]

Great Video!!!! Off Grid is something everyone should look into!

[trtoy63]

Bring the BARE BUTTS back on your intro. It's just not the same with out them.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@trtoy63 Thank friend. Yeah, I like the original photos too. But YouTube is stricted with their guidelines and in my effort to be family-friendly I was pushing the boundary with that photo.

[PixieStixCreations]

I haven't checked in for a while, hows it going? Nice vid xoxoxo

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@PixieStixCreations Don't be a stranger!! Other than it being too cold, it's fine. Brrrrrrr.

[PixieStixCreations]

@PirateLifestyleTV Yeah this weather has been sucky and I have had a cold which is why no new vids, and...now I can't find my camera. LoL

[Mrcodgerneighborhood]

wish i lived on a sailboat. i watch alot of zombie movies, and i never understood why they always run for some old house. drive to the water, a lake, the ocean, or a really deep pond! no way the zombies could get ya on a sailbaot! lol

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@Mrcodgerneighborhood Aye! I have a hard time crawling up on the boat.

[bathroompiano]

sometimes i think it would be easier off the grid

[upallhours9]

Great Video. Good ideas we could all use.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@upallhours9 Thanks fer ye comment. It is easy today.

[bushdidit2u911]

my power bill is around $2500 a year! i should get something soon its making me broke! and they are going up ,set to double in the next 5 years! that would mean my bill just for power will be over $1200 every 12 weeks! plus all the other bills im screwed! cheers your piracy has reminded me to think about solar panels and batteries!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@bushdidit2u911 I would say doubling is a mimimum over the next 5 years. Get those solar panels now, and take the tax break too!! Arrrrrr.

[bushdidit2u911]

@PirateLifestyleTV for sure!

[WatchToddPattison]

Hey you know wind energy is a good idea when Leno (JAY LENO) uses it to power his Hobby Shop Arrrrr ! ! ! ! ( read that as MAN CAVE !!!!!!!!! )

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@WatchToddPattison It is a great idea today!

[nate638]
