Description: Welcome to the OFF-GRID YURT FAMILY! Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/22LGXK7 Brock discusses the next step in their off-grid living journey: Water Collection. They chose to use tanks from Percheron Plastic. You can learn more about the wide variety of products this company has to offer at percheronplastic.com The two 525 gallon tanks will be boxed in and insulated, as well as fitted with heat wands to prevent the water from freezing in the winter. Brock plans on building a water catchment system around the yurt, to funnel rain off the yurt and into the tanks. The water will be pumped up into the yurt and can also be heated on demand with a propane tankless water heater (more on that in a future video). Find us: facebook.com/theoffgridyurtfamily twitter.com/offgridyurtfam instagram.com/offgridyurtfamily About us: In 2018, we sold our house, bought a yurt, put it up in the dead of winter, and moved into it January 1st, 2019. Marta and I, our two kids and two dogs, living off-grid with nothing but a wood stove. From that point forward, life as we knew it would change completely. I would be lying if I said we knew what we were getting into. But over the course of the following three years, we made that yurt our home. We worked in it, played in it, and most importantly, made MEMORIES in it. We totally fell in love with our yurt. 11 years ago, Marta and I started “Fit For Two TV” to share our healthy living habits (exercise and vegan food) with you. Now, we feel the time has come to shift gears. Over the next few months we will be sharing the next chapter of our journey (and beyond) as we pack up, take our yurt down, move, and re-build our yurt in its new location. As we continue to learn, play, and grow, we will share our adventures with you! - The Off-Grid Yurt Family
