Channel Information
Welcome to Bowman's Woods. Many of you may know us from our Cruising Off Duty channel where we did predominantly sailing videos. We still plan to sail but our new adventure is that we bought 155 Acres of woodlands and are planning to document building an off-grid homestead. We will be harvesting some trees in the forest to make firewood to heat our home and water with an outdoor wood boiler and get almost all of our electrical needs from solar panels to allow us to live completely independently of the main grid. We will delve into firewood production and plan to have a greenhouse and grow as many vegetables that we can and supplement that with chickens and perhaps more. Come along as we go into new and uncharted areas for us.

Here is my off-grid setup. I live full-time in a trailer completely disconnected from city power or water. I live off of solar power connected to solar generators or off-grid power stations. Most of my solar generators are Bluetti. The mail solar generator I use is a Bluetti AC200L but I often supplement...

I was planning to use this massive Dewalt construction fan inside my 40’ HC SEACAN if I used it as a workshop but in 32c heat, it’s now become my savior in the living trailer.

So, we have made a hard turn from the original plan to live full-time on a sailboat and travel the world. The boiling point in hostilities in the world made us re-think this idea and we decided it was not a good idea anymore. So we decided that if we could not live off-grid on a sailboat the next best...

The Renogy 220W folding solar panel, also referred to as a Solar Briefcase, is the perfect mobile solar solution. Folded up the 220W panel is fairly small and at 15lbs it is easy to carry with you if you are camping or going off the grid. It has all the attributes of glass panels as it is IP68 water...

Of all of the Solar Panels I have reviewed, these are by far the best. The efficiency of these Renogy 550W bifacial panels is unparalleled. Even in partial shade, they perform very well. I may buy more of these to make a big off-grid array for some new rural property I just bought. Time will tell.

Whitby is a great place to stop over if you are boating around Lake Ontario. The people at the Whitby yacht club are welcoming of visiting boats and there is lots to do in the area. May be best to have a folding bike or scooter to get around because not everything is easy walking distance.
