Folks,

Off grid Tiny House in Australia.

 

[Slowtaknow]

Was watching a hover boys video and he said betty "silver queen" was found dead. Anybody have any updates?

 

[bill from lachine]

Slowtaknow,

Since I don't know Betty I can't really help you out with any updates. Suggest you post on the video you mentioned and ask the Hoover Boys if they have any recent info.

 

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

Some Raggae for you.

I do not know either, but I looked up some videos. She didn't look very old. I have a friend who watches their videos all the time. I'll check with him.

Bill, those Tiny house peeps are some serious campers. I don't think I could do that 24/7/365.

Where's the poles? It needs a trolling motor.

WD,

I guess it's just a matter of what you're used to...most of us have way more space and stuff than we need.

Example I'm currently wearing a tshirt from 1994 that's been stashed away in a drawer forever and it was hardly ever used.

We probably have enough pots, pans, etc...to feed an army and there's only 2 of us, etc....

Odds are most of us have way more space, clothes and stuff than we need. A small house would probably force us to limit the amount of extra stuff most of us have stashed away that we don't use....I'll get off my soapbox now....

Folks,

Sweet Potato Gnocchi.

Bill, you're kind of mean. I'm on a low carb diet.

Sorry but it’s a poor mans walker.

WD,

The devil made me do it....

I bet RTR could rig it up!

 

[WannaDig3687]

Bill, you're kind of mean. I'm on a low carb diet.

Started 500 - 800 calories of low fat protein only last week. I got to start adding 2 servings of low glycemic carbs and one healthy fat this week. Walking my 30 minutes a day. So, I will give you likes on your food videos, but they're a big tease!

 

[bill from lachine]

WD,

Your diet sounds pretty severe I hope it's doctor approved cause we don't want you to starve yourself.

A moderately active man can handle about 3000 calories per day and in the case of a woman about 2200 calories if they are moderately active.

Those are the numbers people should be shooting for and obviously keep the fat, sugar, salt and junk food under control.

It ain't rocket science....using the above target calories won't give you a magical weight loss but it won't set you up for failure either.

WD,

There's plenty of fat off the land so to speak to survive. I paid $$$$ twice to go to the DR run weight loss program. They even told me that if I gained any weight back, I knew what to do. The only thing is I am not taking the prescription appetite suppressant. Actually, all of the programs are about the same, Weight Watchers, Curves, Medi-weight loss, etc. They just have little tweaks that don't make much of a difference. This one I can do, it just gets old not eating bread, mac-n-cheese, cake, ice cream, potato chips, etc. There are freebie things you can eat if you're still hungry: dill pickles, SF jello, etc. The first week is hard but it triggers your body into ketosis. Your body doesn't have sugars to burn, so it starts burning the fat. I actually struggle to eat up to 500 calories of protein.

Tom,
Or you could do it the way the Sicilians do sun dried tomatoes. Problem is most countries don't have dry enough conditions to do it the old fashioned way.

Bill,

problem here are the flies.... if they put their eggs on the fruits, you get problems if you put in in glasses to store them for a longer period.
A reason why I would build a dryer where no flies etc. get a chance to get in.

Just saw you video about this off grid tiny house! Same I was looking for yesterday!!
When we move to Madeira, this would be may an option or ship containers rebuild to houses.
