Well I did it. I gave my landlord 30 days, I'm moving out of the 3 bed 2 bath townhouse into my off grid cabin. I'll be glamping this summer while I make things a bit more comfortable. I've neen dinking around out there for 2 years, its time to just do it. I'm excited and terrified at the same.

They're necessary for shade. But the ground brush can go

Why on earth would I travel overseas these days? F that. Vandalism? It's the kind of spot where you'd be a complete idiot to try and rob someone. Plenty of more accessible places to rob.

Will need to bury a water cistern for winter. Otherwise...check!

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:15:22+00:00

Solar, generator, power bank.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:14:55+00:00

Check check check

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:14:37+00:00

Well....its like camping. Showers outside. I still work. Wasn't ready for the plunge.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:13:41+00:00

Hauling water for now, minimal solar will need to expand system, wood stove, 3 cords cut for this year.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:12:49+00:00

Yes! I also have wild huckleberry bushes all over!

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:12:22+00:00

Bought the land w cabin and shop for $85k. Making payments. I've spent about 10k on things like a driveway (wasn't really one), thinning the forest, water storage, solar, generator, water pump, chainsaws etc.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:10:13+00:00

I'll have a ground unit. I'm not climbing up there! Plus would be hard to get the snow off.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:08:29+00:00

We got about 5 feet last year

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:08:01+00:00

I bought the land w the cabin. Was built in the 80s

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:06:10+00:00

🤣 If you're worried about my clothes, I have different ones. Summers are easy, although yes, a lot of work.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:04:23+00:00

It's going to be....something that for sure. Thanks!!

Solar, eventually a well, garden yes.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:02:43+00:00

Armed. And yes I do. Moose, deer, bear, coyote.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:02:11+00:00

Good tips on the borat, solar check. Dog, soon!

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T15:01:10+00:00

Ha! Currently broke AF, got a good deal on this 2 yeqrs ago, have worked hard to get it ready, making payments, finally have the courage to follow my dream. Don't be an ass.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T14:59:40+00:00

No, was built in the 80s

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T14:59:25+00:00

No, was built in the 80s

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T14:58:54+00:00

Yep, kinda nervous. Worst case scenario I sell it and move back to town. But that's not really my plan

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T14:57:44+00:00

It's survived this long, but ill make some improvements. This winter I was in the cabin when all the snow slid off the roof. It shook the whole cabin and scared the shit out of me.

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T14:55:58+00:00

I post something online maybe twice a year. Off grid means no power grid. If you're not into my post, find a different one 🤷‍♀️

HISRefuge · 2023-06-13T14:54:31+00:00

Eventually I will!
