Today’s quickie, with everyone getting slammed with winter weather, is about becoming energy self-sufficient.
What do I mean?
I have always been interested in alternative living and alternative power.
Aye, we be livin’ on a sailboat.
Why should you Go Off-Grid?
The reasons for going off-grid are as varied as the people who decide to do it. For some, the main motivation for going off-grid is environmental. For you it might mean keeping the lights on and the fridge running when the power goes out.
How do you Go Off-Grid?
Evaluate and calculate your electric needs. This is the first step in the process of installing renewable energy systems.
What are your choices?
Solar electricity, panels that convert sunlight into electricity. They work any time the sun is shining.
Wind electricity, wind turbines that convert wind into electricity. They work any time the wind is blowing.
A “Hybrid” system is a combination of solar and wind, because very often, the sun shines and the wind blows at different times of the day.
Batteries are very important because they store the electricity for times when your needs are greater than system can produce.
And of course, a stand-by electric generator makes a great part-time source of electricity.

@altSt0rm Thanks! I sincerely appreciate your support. Have a great week. Arrrrrrr. 🙂
where do you buy this device?
You a useless source of information. You think we are all idiots or retarded? We want to know how , what to use , how to hook up, and so on. Real info captain jack ass
Constructive criticism, As a hobbyist I can tell you right now its really hard to watch a bunch of 3 minute and 4 minute vids. Much more educational if you were to atleast peak them at 20 and do a little more in depth talk about your ideas.
thats my dream
please stop talking like an ass
@Linqua2112 Ahoy Luke, thanks for taking the time to share your constructive criticism.
@PirateLifestyleTV I don’t mean to offend, a more common, natural delivery goes a long way, but common isnt necessarily normal, keep doing you
Cool vids but you need to be a touch smoother reading your cue cards…sorry, was once married to a TV anchor….
hiihi 1:28
It might be worth realizing that not all your viwers are 6 years old.
I haven’t checked in for a while, hows it going? Nice vid xoxoxo
Can you please show how to set up the solar panels with batteries …. I want to set up a back up system
I have spent months researching into survival and discovered a fantastic resource at Micaden survive system (check it out on google)
Found the cheapest option for me find all about costs learn more about how much spending and what and how you should do..You can build your own Solar Panels, saving more then $1,000’s off of retail price visit ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM
@PirateLifestyleTV dumb trolls good video talking like a school teacher is good. your teaching something thumbs up
Interesting but it hurts to hear you talk
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.
@PirateLifestyleTV for sure!
Lol lively introduction nice video
BarerOfBadNews, I have tried rapping but it doesn’t work for me. 🙂
Constructive criticism to follow thusly. Your rhythm in the usage of Hollywood Pirate Dialect, which is stereotypically a Scottish one, is a bit off sir. A drunken Scott (is there another kind lol) knows what it is he wants to say. So speak a bit more quickly and assertive and you won’t sound like whatever it is you’re sounding like now. When a drunken Scott can’t get the words out, that’s the right time to curse and ‘Aaaaargh’ lol.
@Mrcodgerneighborhood Aye! I have a hard time crawling up on the boat.
ARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Pushing the limits can be a good Pirate Thing To Do !!!! Lets See the Butts !!!!
The pirate lifestyle aarrrrrr. lol, this guy is abvously single and plays hand party with himself every night. arrrrr
i thought you were going to show us how to set up our own panel,maybe that should be your next video
BarerOfBadNews, thanks for coming back and posting a followup comment. Keep in mind this particular video was made a year and a half ago.
@PixieStixCreations Don’t be a stranger!! Other than it being too cold, it’s fine. Brrrrrrr.
@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
I want to go off grid because I’m sick of our government and police pissing all over the American people. I don’t want to be a slave to this tyrannical regime.
charles manson!
@ZeddZar Aye, very true. Thanks!
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?
@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.
this video totally wasted my data
I just have to say: Earth4energy blows the other guides out of the water! You have a really good product here.Catch the method here. ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM
im just gonna say quit with the pirate shit!
@PirateLifestyleTV Really? What trade or business might you avail to a loner in a kayak?
This pirate must’ve been hit in the head the way he speaks
@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.
@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?
The music made me think I was watching a Girls Gone Wild commercial
@QuartuvLarry Lots of full-time cruisers have some type of trade/career.
I have been thinking about this for awhile.
