Mellow Sunday at the Cabin, Solar Power Solution for Operating this Off-Grid A-Frame: 4x4 Nomad Life

Hey Everyone on Planet Earth! Happy Sunday, hope your weekend has been a good one. I'm vacating the A-Frame cabin today and headed back out to truck camp. My truck is looking SWEEEEEET with all the upgrades so I look forward to filming a video about that soon. Lots of goodies to make living in my 4x4 truck more functional and enjoyable.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING
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.
Self-sufficient means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.

    Hi Funny Hunny, thanks for checking out my vids and for the kinds words! I feel really fortunate to be living this way and love hanging out with Barron and Elsa. We are planning to do some winter camping in the same general area so I look forward to spending more time with them once the snow starts flying. I feel really fortunate to be living this way, it's incredible! ~ Brian

Like you, as I shed more "stuff" from my life I feel lighter and better. I bought and moved into a 21 foot trailer this year and although I'm still shedding stuff (40+ adult years of stuff) I LOVE living in the trailer and the fact I can clean it in 1 hour. Thanks for the inspiration.
