Hey from Texas guys! You're a gem for protecting your little family Isaac but dont!! I mean DO NOT go out while trees and power lines are falling. Please!!! 😊

Your emergency survival skill is pretty darn good. I'm so impressed to see you and Jaylena being so calm joining forces together to remedy this scary unpredictable disaster. But of course, the best part of this video is Ember's twinkle-twinkle performance - what a darling little girl! Hoping for you and your family's safety.

Isaac, your house can withstand a falling tree much better than your camper can. I wouldn't even go in it to cook in an ice storm going on. But that's just me. Y'all be safe.

The silence of the night and hearing trees crack sounds so cool but so scary. Sending positive vibes!! You guys are blessed to have wood and fireplaces.

Ice storms are no joke. Being without power is frustrating alone but dealing with all the damage is something else.

you and Jaylena are resilient,amazing to me how much knowledge you have on survival,Im so proud of you both for your attitudes❤

Whoaaa!!! You guys know how to rock a crisis! You did the number one thing that they say is most important... you stayed calm! You are both very resourceful. Thank you for filming this. You could teach a class with this video on what happens in real life when the unexpected happens. The best part is you can go back and rewatch it to know how to prepare for future disasters. Your first year as homeowners is breaking you on rough but y'all are tuff!

Thankfully, it all turned out ok. Issac, you work so hard keeping your family safe. You are a good man.

You all so lucky that the branch or a tree come down on your head!! Please stay in the house!❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

What a great family! It's inspiring how calm you guys are and how well everyone works together, even Ember who just goes with the flow!

When you do get a roof replace your existing roof, make sure it’s metal! Y’all do have windows in here emergency shelter! You did good dad!!!!🎉🎉🎉 Ty for sharing!!

I’m impressed guys. You seem prepared to me. At least you knew where everything was.

You guys' experience (and tools) from buslife have really come in handy. Ember has the best parents for this natural disaster. Glad you all are okay. 💛

You have a beautiful wife and family. Thank you for sharing. Idk y I like seeing other people in life and watching whats happening. There's so much ugly in this world. Thats its wonderful to see a easy going happy family blazing a path of success in life for yourselves.🏆🙌🙏

You all made the right decision to move to the garage where the woodstoves are...maybe consider keeping it set up to some degree for future need...also learn how to stuff that wood stove full and close most of the stove vents to make the fire last through the night...it takes some practice..compost toilet are a huge blessing in situations like this...plus Amber had a lot of room to run and play...great move...

Although far away, your strength and love for each other is inspiring. ❤

Looking forward to part 2. You guys did a great job with the emergency shelter. Glad you were able to stay warm, feed yourselves and have your little family together safe.

Isaac, you seem like you're at your best when you're in a pressure-filled situation. A man of action!

You and Jaylena are wonderful parents. Ember couldn’t have ask for better. She has been well taken care of and loved more than life itself. She is so beautiful ❤️

I am so glad you guys got that studio set up as your bug out bunker with the wood stove going. One tip for keeping warm in these situations is WOOL blankets. They keep in the warmth on your bed and keep out the moisture from your bodies and from your mattress. You put one WOOL blanket on top of your mattress (between the mattress and the fitted sheet) and then you put another WOOL blanket on top of all of your other blankets that you cover with. Being sandwiched between both WOOL blankets keeps the warmth in and the moisture out.

It's definitely an ice storm disaster! So Insane! Glad your doing good neighbor! You guys take care! ✌🏻

Its good to have great friends when shit like this happens. So happy they helped with that roof . Being a home owner is tough sometimes i know believe me . Prayers Ya'll R Safe n Warm . Mucho Love Always from your friend in Michigan Tam ❤️ ♥️ 💕 p.s. Ember Wild sitting there is priceless ... i just LOVE that LITTLE.....

See Isaac, you don't need to drive anywhere to camp out, you can camp out in your own back yard, in your studio!!! Praying that this won't last long....Ember is prescious ❤❤❤

You guys are true survivalists! Great job having all the back-ups in place so you can ride out the storm. It definitely was entertaining to watch the whole video. Stay safe and warm 🥰

Isaac, you should be a firefighter. You run towards disasters instead of away. Your courage is impressive.

Wow guys! I’m so sorry to see that you are going through this kind of wacky weather. Sending prayers that they can soon get your power restored. This is awful but I am so glad you have this emergency shelter and Issac’s truck. Take care and stay warm!! 💜

I am 72 years old. I grew up in Central, GA, and did not move until I graduated high school. I only remember it happening once, but we had a terrible ice storm. We lived in town and were only out of power for a couple of weeks. Sadly the families that lived in the country were out of power for almost a month. Georgia is full of pine trees and we could hear them cracking and breaking everywhere because the ice was so heavy on the trees. I hope your power is back on and you did not receive much property damage.

Every home should have a tent large enough to comfortably fit their family. They can be set up inside and help retain heat. They also provide a sense of security for small children in a smaller space.

My heart was jumped a beat when the branches started to crack and fall😮. Glad you guys made it through the night . Can only get better. Good luck ❤

Much better prepared than most. Y'all ROCKED it!!! Stay safe.

I live in the north east and I always say, I'll take the rain and 20+ inches of snow over an ice storm. Ice storms are by far the worst. Especially if you live in the woods.

Y’all are so lucky to have the room to stay in to be warm safe and warm place for all of y’all. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Be safe and just enjoy the life you have.

That's a terrifying sound when those trees crack...y'all take care, glad you're making it through this. Trees are beautiful, but not over the roof! Take care!!

You both are so creative thinking you got this, hunker down and hoping they get power back on sooner than expected. Ember is being amazing she's handling it fantastically. Stay safe x

The previous owner was smart with all the wood heaters which you can cook on! Arborist needed asap? Some of those trees need lopping close to buildings for safety! Big lessons in Winter at new home! Isaac & Jaylena you are very 😂resourceful!! Lucky you have the equipped Camper! Love from Australia stay warm!!! 💜💙💜🇦🇺🤗

I'd say you two are doing a fantastic job! You are warm you have food you are safe! Some people! That wood heat will cook you out. I have been married for 46 years wood heat has been our main heat source. I have never been in that situation to be without power for days.I do like to keep candles on hand .

You both are doing great 😊we went through the exact same thing with hurricane Michael in Florida without power over 20 days didn’t want to leave bc of looters. Hang in there you both got this!

We had so many close calls! It was like being in a war zone! Glad you guys are doing ok! ✌🏻

Guarantee you're more prepared and have more resources than half of the people in your situation. Ice storm are the worst and there's not much that you can do when things aren't forecasted. I think u did a great job! Your neighbor is hilarious, and the tree struggle was fun to watch. Thanks 4 sharing!

I remember going through a bad storm. When it was over, I got the trees overhanging the house taken down. Best feeling ever.

When you were getting your wood from the outside, it looked like your kitchen window was cracked open. I don’t know if you know it or not it’s cold as it is you could put your refrigerated items in the garage or that room behind the house where it’s nice and cold And your food will be fine 🤗

My birthday is on the 23rd. I will be 29 again. 🙃😋

29:25 I'm relieved that the camper wasn't under those trees... it's enough to make me nervous about all trees, but we need them to clean the air for us, so we have to learn to love them

You guys did a pretty darn good job at a moments notice. Learned a ton, huh😊? God bless you guys.

Only had one ice storm, the silence and the trees cracking and falling is such a Erie feeling. Stay safe❤

Been reading some of the comments and agree with the ones I've read. I think you guys have a lot of resources with the extra fireplaces/stove, wood, power up machines, etc. In an emergency we only have a fireplace in our small home, but what we have found is that if the power goes out we can(if we need to), close ourselves into a smaller room, it helps the remaining heat in that room keep us warm as needed until the heat comes on. Also we have a lot of extra quilts, etc. that we have been able to layer on the bed. We don't have a generator which we should, but we pull up the blinds during the day for light and we only run basic needs things if the power goes off or on we immediately plug in internet or phones, and we also have oil lamp and lots of candles. Our neighbors use their grills when its winter and things go out but I know in your conditions some of those things weren't possible. We always keep bottled water also. I think ya'll had a lot to work with and think you did a great job, my only advice that I didn't see mentioned was probably not upload videos or watch unnecessary tv etc with your power source and try to occupy your time in other ways, but I know it's a little harder with a little one, who by the way did Amazing during this all. Hope your roof and ya'll are okay and have seen the last of the storms for a long time.

I think you did fantastic , you had gear and a plan and you executed it and you all made it , props fam !!!!

I think you guys are doing a great job. You’re warm, you have food. Your daughter seems happy. Hope you get power back soon.

None of us was prepared for the ice even here in Portland. I think you guys played it smart for the safety and comfort for your family. Great job!

Thats what I call scary, thank goodness for your emergency shelter. Please stay safe and warm.

We get an ice storm every few years. Made a point to once a year around mid fall to do a walk around the property to clear any unstable looking trees. Might be a good idea for no trees near power lines. I keep a tote full of lanterns and camping supplies at hand. Thankfully I stocked up on propane canisters this last summer and was able to help out some family who ran out when power was off. A few years ago during an ice storm I had no power for 8 days so since them I’m a bit prepared lol

We live in a RV park full of towering pines and every second those sounds of pop, crunch, cracking, booming and wooshing sent chills thru my spine one ultimately fell across the road twards my patio where we sleep ending at my bbq just 5' shy of us, and that was right after a 50lb ice laden limb fell and almost killed my husband and instead smashed our car canopy we use a an outdoor kitchen.

So glad that you all mafe it through the storm. Those trees are so close and so huge, too.

I live in Salem. It was 2 years ago I think that we were without electricity for a week. Thank God I had bought it generator a couple years before. Having a generator has saved us each and every time. Also having a gas fireplace. I would prefer a wood one, but I live in a subdivision. This ice storm trapped us because we couldn't get out of our subdivision. Being prepared every year is going to be important from here on end. Because it seems like every winter we get these ice storms. Having those energy, power sources very smart. You guys lived in a bus you got this! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

What an excellent lesson in what to do when you are not so prepared. You guys have more than most. And I'm glad that you are safe and warm and the worst is over......for now. Blessings to you and family.

You two are so resilient and adaptable! You did great and under so much stress! It's funny because bus life gave you all of the tools you needed to be comfortable and more prepared than most, in my opinion. Good job guys! Take care!

Stay safe you three!! You both are very resilient and thank goodness for van/bus life. Love from Canada❤

Buying the farm has a whole new meaning, Banking the fire in hope for an almost all night ember.

That really bring's around the sense of community ! To be in a community of people who you can talk to and trust to help you is just, major important. People are just lost out there, they're other people probably alone out there in the same situations. Its what makes people strive to have friendships*** really put out that effort

I remember when Kentucky had our ice storm i enjoyed listening to the crackling sounds, weird I know but I was coming from the east coast and experiencing something like this was new to me but I learned something new and a new way to survive. Glad you all were safe and warm.

Standing outside when power lines and trees are falling is so unsafe. Don’t worry about video, worry about yourself and your family and keep safe!

Praying you are all safe and no more trees damage the house or shop. The weather here in the UK is bad too. We have just had a storm with tornadoes just pass through and are being hit by another one right now. It is scary even more so when you are a home owner.

You both are doing great for first timers going through this.i think because of you guys bus life helped you guys soooooooo much.i think you guys are more lucky than lots.its great you guys have options.fireplace is a blessing to have.anxiously awaiting your next video

These kind if situations teach us what we need to prepare for. I am sure you have done a good job. You do have backups and a place to shelter. Others didn't do so well.

You guys are doing a great job! So many do not have the experience that you two have. Everyone should be able to off grid camp every so often to gain experience in survival, good job and great content for everyone. We are all a power outage away from the ‘off grid’ experience. Prayers for all those in areas without power!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

P.S. Isaac on top of all the challenges you still captured content which will come in handy to review to prepare you for the future. You are a brilliant man, life partner, and father‼️

Hello from Florida! Thank you for sharing your weather adventure. Hope everyone remains safe.

Great video! You guys handled it well, you had everything you needed! Looking forward to the next one! Hang in there, spring is right around the corner! Be safe

Your home is such a blessing for your family.

My favorite part of the video 40:00 😍😍😍 Ember is sooo adorable!

You're amazing to stay calm throughout it all. Years ago, I lived in an area that took our whole power grid out. No power for over a month, that was a nightmare. It even took my power line to my house . I thought it was going to catch on fire . Be safe out their !

Im SO PROUD of you guys. The studio is amazing. You guys did an amazing job getting that cozy. Making memories to say the least. Much Love! Karen ❤

You guys are doing a awesome job and remember we can never be completely prepared every incident is completely different and I know you guys are going to grow in knowledge from this.

You got this. Well done, and you're all safe. I'll be watching your next video. Our rain stopped though south of us was declared an emergency due to all the flooding and damage. Sweet dreams.

What an awesome video and such a great Family!! Very knowledgeable in saving your family with being prepared! God Bless you

You could fill up big kettles, crock pots, etc. with water for drinking water so you have it on hand when you power comes back on!

Im glad you guys are ok! You both are amazing parents and a great team together. Take care.

I think you did a marvelous job. You have everything you need, even though it's inconvenient. Having your family together gave both purpose and encouragement. I never sensed panic or a meltdown, just a calm "what's next." Last summer I went through a 2" hailstorm, then a series of tornadoes that ripped the roof off where I was staying. Watching you go through this so calmly actually helped me heal some.

Watching this on the 28th onthe East side.We had freezing rain and some wind.I had no idea it was so bad over there. Glad you're safe.

So glad you have the stove and plenty of wood!

Hello, amazing family. I am so very proud of you all. Working together and getting through this tough time is incredibly impressive. New homestead owners and new challenges. How wonderful bus/van life has prepared you for emergencies. Every endeavor is for a purpose. You all are amazing and teaching Ember so much. Making life challenges into an adventure gives you stellar ideas. calm and collective makes it easier to get through it. Again I am so proud of you. Isaac great job taking care of your beautiful family You and Jaylena are made for each other ❤️❣️🙏I also Thank God for being with you all‼️

So so scary! We have a few trees around our house too...and it definitely sets you on edge during weather events...but those trees crashing....wowza. 😳 Your "Bunker" set up looks like it would be perfect for a back up plan. Good job you guys! Ember looked warm and happy...so well done. 🥰

Well done rollin' with the challenges and keeping safe thru the crazy - ice, not rain, weather. Ice is the worst.

I'm not a builder but I love watching you and your crew.

I'm glad y'all have the backup shelter with the wood burning stove to cook and keep warm.

🙏 Having a child to protect - keeps parents going! You guys are doin’ it!❤

Keeping you all in my prayers 🙏❤️

New sub here. Happy to see that you & your family are resourceful. I can't imagine many young people in today's environment being able to survive 1 hour without the Internet, little lone make it thru the night comfortably without electricity 🤣😂 Hang in there, better days ahead. Thank goodness you have a common sense head on your shoulders.

Hoping you all get power sooner than later. Stay safe, you are doing a great job!

Great job with the bunker! ❤ you have all the tools you need on hand to survive, that's great!

I think y’all are more prepared than most and doing great! You really do have one hell of a set up!

Y'all got it going on. Camping at home in style. 👍 Very cool. Making the best out of a not so good circumstance. Couldn't ask for much better. ❤

They say prepare for the worst, hope for the best. I say, you guys have done an incredible job, the safest thing is to keep calm and think things through. You have to experience things to be better prepared for next time because there’s always a next time. I wish you all the very best, many blessings to you and yours

No one can really predict the weather. I went through the 1978 winter storm in the upper half of USA especially the Northeast. No one was prepared. It is a live and learn situation. Going through things is how you learn to prepare for emergencies! So those who are gripping about you not being prepared. You are doing great. Definitely a gas powered generator is a good investment. Please learn how to bank afire to reserve heat & wood!

We went through this in Texas 2 years ago. Snowmageddon. It was 38 degrees in our house for 48 hours and we all huddled in one room around gas fireplace as we had no power. We were lucky compared to most who had burst pipes, floods, water cutoffs for a week, etc. downed trees was the icing on the cake. Our entire grid went down in the state. Had to close schools in all major cities 2 weeks ago to prevent another grid disaster. Fun. Good luck to you guys . You have a beautiful family.

Thankfully you have your camper and your wood burning stove. God Bless you all.

I realize this video is from a week ago. Just a tip on the fire; stack the wood like a teepee and your wood will last longer.....

WOW that was intense. You’re amazing parents; and I think very well prepared. Good work you guys!

Praying for the light to go on be safe buy amber we all love you ❤❤

Man this storm got brutal for most of us in Oregon. Yesterday 01/23 we were still having the power go out just due to them working on the lines, you guys looked far more prepared than most! Great video
