Clarity Off-Grid

Can you believe it? We’ve been home from our travels for 3 days and Matt’s spent two of those days on the river! Rafting and being in and on the water is Matt’s happy place, so I was thrilled for him to get some river time since the rafting season this year is unusually short. Matt takes you along for a beautiful and fun float down the Dolores River. If you’ve never rafted, this is the next best thing to it - and you won’t even get wet. Stay tuned for homestead projects and outdoor adventures this summer at our off-grid home in the mountains of Colorado. ************************************************************** 📧 Join our Mailing List - Don't miss a single episode.

We’ve spent the last two months together traveling in our van and now is the time to take some time apart. Matt gets an offer he can’t refuse - to go white water rafting with his close friends, Jonti and Janet. He jumps into action to get his boat ready in record time to make the trip only two days after our return home. Matt takes you along with him as he shares his favorite activity - being on the water in a raft. You’ll get a front-row seat for the rapids, views, fun, and wildlife. Stay tuned for a summer at our off-grid home in the mountains of Colorado. ************************************************************** 📧 Join our Mailing List - Don't miss a single episode.

By the time we reached Gettysburg, our van clearly needed to be repaired. The front end was shaking like it was going over a really rough road. Matt diagnosed the problem using a Blue Driver Scan Tool. He ended up replacing the spark plugs and coils on the 1 and 3 cylinders while parked at a campground. We make it to the Gettysburg where we take you on a journey through the ages as we tour the historic Civil War battlefield. Join us as we continue Operation Cherry Blossom - a van trip through the eastern states with our van, Clarity, and our dogs, Jessie and Lily-bell. ************************************************************** 📧 Join our Mailing List - Don't miss a single episode.

It’s the perfect time to look for waterfalls since the trees are just starting to leaf out. We hike through a beautiful forest with a diverse canopy of trees and plants. While camped in a free dispersed campsite near a bumbling stream, we share how we travel and live in our van with two dogs. ************************************************************** 📧 Join our Mailing List - Don't miss a single episode.

Walking the path from the welcome center to Colonial Williamsburg was like entering a time warp as it took us back in time. People dressed in authentic clothes of the era made it feel as if we were back in a time predating the Revolutionary war. Where women wore petticoats and men donned tights. And watching a black coachman driving a carriage reminds us that not all people were free or considered equal. After more than a week of exploring historic sites, we were ready for a change of pace. So, we headed for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Join us as we weather uncertain ferry schedules, howling winds, and pristine beaches that we had all to ourselves. Continue along with us as we continue exploring the Eastern Seaboard in our Short-body, Ram ProMaster Van with our dogs, Jessie and Lily-bell. ******************************** 📧 Join our Mailing List - Don't miss a single episode.

We live off-grid in an area of Colorado that is experiencing a long drought. Water is precious and we can’t afford to flush it down the toilet. Join us as we explain how we manage our human waste without using water, and how we designed our house to collect all of our household water. Between using a composting toilet and water catchment, we live abundantly in a semi-arid climate while remaining off the sewer, water, and power grids.

So, in this video we bring you along with us on a fairly typical winter’s day in and out of off-grid home in the mountains of Colorado. We balance work and play by taking care of the chores at home and still taking time for turns on the ski slopes. We’ll show you how easy it is to take care of our composting toilet, how we check our power and water levels, and take care of the laundry without an electric dryer.

In today’s video, we’re going to answer your questions about living off the grid in our sustainable home. We’ll explain how I designed and built a home that heats and cools using the sun using passive solar design. We’ll show you how we collect our water and generate our power using solar PV. We’ll explain how all of these systems as well as recycling our waste reduced the cost of building our home. We’ll talk about the aging-in-place features we have so that we can live sustainably in the mountains of Colorado for as long as possible.

We’re Going to be on TV! We had a film crew at our off-grid home in the mountains of Colorado for a full-day film shoot for a series about sustainable homes. It was so fun to see a professional film crew at work. And they made it really fun for us. But, we can’t show you the footage until we get closer to the air date. Stay tuned! We’ll keep you posted - probably sometime in May. So, after two weeks of ramping up to the shoot by cleaning the house and preparing, and then a FULL day of filming, we’re ready for some fun time. We’re headed skiing for some playtime in the snow and fresh air. Join us on Saturdays as we enjoy life in our off-grid home in Colorado and life on the road in our van, Clarity.

Our travels have brought us to the lush and beautiful town of Tanchanchin where we are staying in a family campground next to the sugar cane fields. We heard great reviews about a boat ride to see the spectacular Tamul Falls, but don’t know any details about it. To our surprise, we set out with a guide in a heavy wooden canoe to paddle ourselves 2 km upstream to see one of the best places in Mexico. Come with us through the Mexican jungle on the most spectacular journey yet.

After a long drive from Oaxaca, we settled into Rancho Viejo, a lovely campground within a short walk of the Teotihuacan Pyramids. We explore the ruins which are dominated by two pyramids and the Avenue of the Dead. Then, we head into the Mexican jungle in search of the Sotano de Golondrinas - the cave of the swallows. But, Matt leaves me in the van with the dogs to experience the sunrise at the caves and doesn’t return for hours as all sorts of thoughts run through my mind. Join us, as we both share our experience of being separated for over 4 hours in a remote Mexican Village.
