The Off-Grid Build-Along Video Vault

This collection exists thanks to creators and institutions who released their work under open licenses or into the public domain. We curated, subtitled, trimmed and organized these videos; the underlying footage is theirs. Licenses: CC0 and public domain works require no attribution but are credited anyway; CC BY and CC BY-SA works are credited as required, and our edited versions of CC BY-SA works remain available under the same share-alike license. Changes made by us: subtitles, trims, encoding, watermark on curated items. On a few videos we also re-cut the footage and replaced the original narration with our own English voiceover; those are marked as our edit below, with every underlying source listed.
