Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.

Love your lifestyle. You are a subversive. I mean that as a highest form of compliment. The corporations and their lackeys the politicians can ki$$ my a$$. Keep doing what you’re doing despite the challenges. You’re a huge inspiration to like minded individuals and others who are considering a change.
I sleep in a tent that I have pitched up about 15 minutes walk from work, in a small wood hidden out of the way from anyone walking by. I do it to save money and live for next to nothing here in the UK. My problem is the rain, this winter has been so wet, I read it is the wettest on record for England since 1915. So I am struggling with mold, and even started bleaching out the walls of my tent which worked very well. I have been camped here for 3 years now, and already replaced my tent once due to the zips wearing out. I use a Vango 5 man tent now. All the best, hope you have a good winter.

@David Walker Simply the damp getting into my tent. I use a lot of dry bags. I am lucky to have been left alone, as I leave the tent up while I am out. I use a camo net suspended around the tent to make sure it is not visible during winter. I think teens finding it would be hell. Then there are mites and ticks. Mites started making it hell to sleep when they got in my sleeping bag, suddenly had very bad itching when going to sleep, permethrin spray sorted that out and keeps me safe from ticks as well. On my days off I go out to pubs or anywhere with seeting like subway or any restaurant that let's me use plug sockets. It is not a bad life when you have money. Also I have a portable mini WiFi that adds luxury. All the best.

@Tim Pape I may need a new tent. I guess it is possible to use a stove with a double walled tent. But I think this tent is also a little too small inside the sleeping compartment. I use a parabolic gas heater, but can't keep it going all the time. Flex tape looks good, thanks for the comment.

get a fan for your stove
Out of all the KZread tent campers, I like your setup the best. I love the Big Horn 3 tent and the way you've arranged everything makes for a very effective layout. You always keep it very clean and organized. I hope to have the same setup some day. Well done!
Living the life! Wood stove in a big tent like that has to be the best.
I agree seems so much bigger love it. If I ever buy another tent. I will keep it in mind plus you won't get as wet when its raining to get in the tent + extra room for wet and snowy item's. Love it. Thanks for showing us. Be safe and God bless.
In this edition of CRIBS, we have Off-Grid Backcountry Adventures.
Love ya tent 🏕✝️✝️👋👋👋🆗🙏🏽💯💥💥❤️💥💋❤️💋❤️💞💗🧡💓🥀🥀🥀🥰🥰🥰
Same here with the weather. The snow storm just missed us and we only got a inch or two and didn't stay long.
it does seem practical for camping in the winter. The vestibule seems to really add a nice addition to your life. You can also store your solar panel inside during the night so it doesn't freeze and then you can also store your shovel in the vestibule as well.
I really love that vestibule
Very nice setup love it. The only thing I would like is having a double wall tent for cold weather. I have one that work amazing at -40 with a wood stove but it's enough for 2 people and my dog. Cheer from the prairies!
Beautiful tent. Love the cold overnighters.:D
Belle tente! Tout est bien rangé bravo! J'adore tes vidéos.
Just bought same tent couple of months ago. Got stove jack and floor liner and Camp Chef barrel woodstove pipe kit. Vestibule is next. Still in box. Hopefully set up next 3 weeks with woodstove for some winter steelheading.
Great tent. Enjoy your life👍🏻
Hey looking forward to your next video. Hope you and Sierra are both doing well.🐕⛺
Some awesome stuff there!
Happy Sunday from New Zealand ❤❤❤
Man found your channel while on this time off ended up watching your videos for 5 hours! Your fog is amazing! And your tent is such a cool setup! And I wanna do something with my truck it has a 6.5ft box and its a supercrew so has a massive back seat!
Great set up!
I have the same tent and love it. Never got the vestibule though. May have missed my chance on getting one now that Cabela's is closing everywhere .Only negative thing I have with it is the air that draws through vents by my cot. When using a stove. I usually block the one by my cot off with something.

Awesome set-up,,. Awesome video,..Keep on!!
Awesome video 👌. Thank you for sharing 🙏this wonderful teaching information 😀
A little piece of neoprene sleeve from something or a beer koozie over the clips might work to keep them from freezing.
You might need to place your tent on a burm... made of chat gravel or maybe a wooden deck.. for long term camping.. I'd think it might get muddy in the spring.. (Great video..)
Awesome video 👍👍 stay positive
Nice set up, now I want all that stuff in life too. LolLolLol
Привет из Ульяновска - это в России. В этом городе родился Ленин. Я не понимаю по английски, но одно я понял точно, вы отлично проводите время. В моей стране, много людей, которые любят отдыхать так же. Я сам отношусь к ним. Считаю, что это лучший способ отдохнуть. После такого единения с природой, чувствуешь себя, как будто заново родился. Перезагрузка происходит. Это круто!!!
This tent setup is great for the money. You’ve done a great job setting up a decent living space. I still say that a TEMPER tent system is the best. Rugged as hell military grade extendable, modular, thick canvas system. Downside: buying them even at military surplus they are expensive
Seems like a good shower/tub/toilet area.
Enjoyed watching. Thanks. Peace.

Good video Brian . I know it's one more thing to carry ,but why don't you put down cheep plastic tarp before you put up the vestibule. it would help keep the dirt out of main tent and the flaps from freezing to the ground .I really enjoy watching your Videos ,you are keeping it real man.
I really like that
You got it made enjoy I wish I could do this
Thank you
Another awesome video, Brian! Thank you very much for taking the time to share your info.Question--- Do you have a spare set of poles for your tent.....or know if cabela's sells them individually (in case they get damaged)? 2nd question- it looks like cabela's quit carrying the floor liner. Have you run across another source of supply for a liner?Have a great day! A sad day on the Million Dollar Highway today down by the turn off to head up to Engineer Pass. A team was doing some ice climbing. Ice and snow broke loose from above and took one of the people down to the bottom of the gorge. There was no saving that person.
Im So So Jealous of your Lifestyle....OMG...your videos are always spot-on. While alot of Nomads/Rv Living peoples focus way way too much on Materialism. You take a different approach in that you show everyone the Ins and outs of what these products do to your daily lifestyle. It's not about your Rig, or whatever neat gadgets you can buy. But it is about How to Use them and the Where to- the What to...etc..etc...But most of all this video was great when you talked and discussed the deeper aspects of your Back Country lifestyle...Keep it up Brian you are one of my top 5 Favorites KZreadrs...especially in this Nomadic/Travel, and Experienced Driven way of Life.....
Nice video

Waiting for "The Talk."🤣Also maybe you mentioned it before , and I don't recall it, but what is the wind rating on the tent? It seems very sturdy, but they have been getting gusts over 100 mph in the sierras. Vestibule looks awesome!!
Regardless of what you make the vestibule into, you need a Ring Doorbell on the outer door. People can't knock on cloth.

If you use lag bolts and a drill for your tent stakes it would .. his tent also has a cutout on the floor where his wood stove sits so it doesn't melt. He shows the grass that grows in his tent under his stove in a couple of the new videos.. if. You used some other source of heat you could possibly use that cutout as your ice fishing hole..
I've never been camping, have no desire to, but I find your channel & other channels, very interesting. I do have a question. You are out in the woods, where there are many little critters, do they find their way into your tent? Thank you in advance.
Awesome tent brother and a cozy set up inside.👍when I buy my land off grid in June I'll be purchasing one this size, an living in it til I'm done building my cabin,

Any issues with the material the tent is made of? I have been so conditioned to want cotton for a hot tent.

Holy crap. I thought my Kingdom 8 tent was huge, this thing makes the 8 seem small. How much is the whole thing?
So I have the same tent, fell in love after seeing yours! I also have a stove, do you find there is to many vents along the bottom of the tent? I did camp in -15 with 60 km an hour wind and Did find it drafty.... did you run into this? Thinking of making something to cover some of the vents on the windy on the side...
Vestibule...that’s lofty. In New England it’s called a mudroom
what do you use for internet? I am looking to do the same thing i have been gearing up now for three month and almost ready togo. So sick of the way society is today.

vestibules make all the diff
Just purchased the same tent and vestibule. Wondering if I can leave the tent up for extended periods in the winter? How does it hold up to large snowfalls?
So I was wondering what it's like during the summer months? I know you spend more time in your truck during the summertime. I've been trying to gather information on tent living in hotter seasons and there's not much on youtube about this. Other than burning man once a year. Thanks for your videos.
I wonder what kinda tent that is.. Really nice setup :) great video

Hi Brian. Love your videos. I don't know if it's an issue for your personally but I noticed you have stomach gas. I used to have this problem when I ate bread/gluten. If it's something you want to handle you might look into changing your diet and cut out the bread or anything with gluten and see if it helps.
Nice tent. So can one legally live nomadically in this country without worrying about the legalities ? I'm curious if you have to worry about any legal issues and what you have to do to make sure you are not breaking any rules. Thank you sir

Most national forests put a 14 day camp limit in place. You can move 100 feet and the clock begins again. But unless someone is bugging you? Like in a established camp ground? No one cares. Some hunters have camps up for months and no one says anything.
what sleeping bag are you using
Any problems with bears? If so what do you do about it. Thanks love your way of life brother.((🤙🏼))
I must ask, how much did you get the vestibule for? I inherited my pops big horn 3, he got it in mid 2010's. Your links are also down.
