I assume this is possible but obviously it is risky. Is it possible and aside from lightning related things what are the risks?
Short answer: NO. If you want to restore your Umbrel LND node, here are some options: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/umbrel-btcln-node-shtf-scenario

What I'm trying to do is test out CPFP (when a transaction doesn't have RBF enabled). I'm still learning to use bitcoin-cli and was curious if wallet software like Electrum or Sparrow could be used to do this with an umbrel wallet. I'm not necessarily looking for the easiest way but I'm curious what methods could be used. I've tested RBF and CPFP with GUI wallets but it sounds like this isn't a good option for a LND node.
Your guides have been helpful in my never ending learning about bitcoin tools. Thanks.

Look into that guide. There's a section explaining how you could import your LND wallet into Sparrow.
reply
Imported into Sparrow but I only see one UTXO. I'm guessing this may be due to the other UTXOs being connected with channel opens?
So now I'm thinking I need to go back to the cli approach and figure out the best method for doing a CPFP transaction from the umbrel either using bitcoin-cli or lncli or maybe another tool. Learning with skin in the game is how you REALLY learn.

Hey see this lightningnode.info/technicals/res…
As described it’s an LND aezeed seed phrase and not recommend to manage onchain funds of an LND seed this way, it won’t manage the offchain…
You can always just send the onchain funds to your preferred wallet, inversely you can connect a Bitcoin wallet to BTC node or with an efficient server like with the Electrs application on Umbrel
You can connect a Lightning Wallet to your Lightning Node, or restore/import the aezeed seed phrase on compatible LND aezeed seed phrase wallets like historically BlueWallet (but you’d still need to close channels or follow the process of uploading backup file to a new set up for offchain…)
On Umbrel there’s also automated recovery by entering in your 24 words on any new instance of the Lightning Node app
That may have been TMI but let me know if you have questions!

Not TMI, thank you.

So this question was answered so now I'm focused on a different question. Made this one a bounty. Help me get on-chain transaction from LND(Umbrel) node with low fee confirmed
