Clarity Off-Grid

We’ve desperately need moisture and now we’re getting it. It’s been snowing for days with more to come. We’d love to go skiing, but there’s too much work to do around our off-grid, self-sustaining home. Join us for our off-grid day as we explore new filming techniques while doing essentials tasks like plowing, shoveling, helping our parents, and clearing off the solar panels. We make work fun and it’s all part of the off-grid lifestyle.

We’re back from our travels in the warm desert sun and we’re debating about whether to fully winterize the van or not. We live in the snowy mountains of Colorado and we must keep essentials systems in the van from freezing. Join us as we explore our options and take you along for some winter walks and adventures. Along the way, you’ll get a sneak peek into what life off the grid can be like in the depth of winter.

Our time at Catalina State Park is being cut short due to a snow storm moving into the Durango area. We have a bit of a short leash during the wintertime because when it snows we need to be home to plow and shovel. Never the less, we’re enjoying our trip home through beautiful deserts and canyons. We take a brief lunch break at the Salt River. Then, it’s off to New Mexico and north into Colorado and home to Durango, Colorado.

Today is our last day at McDowell Mountain Park and we’re moving on to Catalina State Park near Tucson, Arizona. But, before we leave we have some chores to do and we take our dogs, Jessie and Lily on a walk along the North Trail where we learn about the diversity of the desert’s exotic plants. We only live a day’s drive from this desert, but neither Matt nor I know much about the plants that make up the Sonoran Desert. Join us as we explore the beauty and mystery of these beautiful plants. Then, we head south to Catalina State Park where we rejoin Dave and Candee for some more fun in the sun - hiking and mountain biking in this sunny winter playground.

We've joined our friends Dave and Candee at this sun-drenched southern playground for a bit of fun and exploring. McDowell Mountain Park, northeast of Scottsdale, Arizona, is over 21,000 acres and has dozens of trails for mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding. It's the place for warm-weather activities in the depth of winter. You can't just drop by and get a camping spot here. Our friends had to make their reservations six months in advance, and we jumped at the chance to join them when they invited us. The trails are rated easy, moderate, or difficult. And there's plenty of trails for all skill levels. Whether you are a novice mountain biker like myself or a skilled rider like our friends, there is much fun to be had for everyone here. Having the opportunity to explore the desert this time of year is a memorable experience. The daytime temperatures have been in the mid to low 70s - perfect for riding and hiking. The nights have been in the chilly '30s, but it makes sleeping in our van super comfy. The desert this time of year is usually in bloom and even has green grass in areas. But, with the exceptionally dry weather, even the most hardy and drought-tolerant plants are distressed and dying. Even so, it is wonderful to find such beautiful and exotic plants within a day's drive of our snowy home. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ HERE’S THAT LINK TO MY BOOK 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.c... 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.c... 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ WATCH NEXT: OFF-GRID HOMES Single Mom Builds and Elegant Off-Grid Home - https://youtu.be/seYXDpl1wuw Heating and Cooling Your Home for Free ~ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF...

There’s no snow expected at our off-grid home in the Rockies for the foreseeable future. So, we’re driving to the deserts of Arizona for some camping and mountain bike riding with friends at McDowell Mountain Park. We’ll take you along for the seven-hour drive south from our snowy home to the sunsets over the Seguros. Then, Matt will make our favorite soup - Tom Kha Gai. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ HERE’S THAT LINK TO MY BOOK 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.c... 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.c... 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ WATCH NEXT: OFF-GRID HOMES Single Mom Builds and Elegant Off-Grid Home - https://youtu.be/seYXDpl1wuw Heating and Cooling Your Home for Free ~ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF...

It’s New Year’s Day! And it is usually one of our favorite days of the year to ski. But with the pandemic, will the crowds at the ski area still be small? The morning's email from Purgatory Ski Area heralded the unheard-of news that the main lift is broken! Ignoring common sense we take Clarity to the mountains, determined to continue our tradition of skiing on the first day of the year. Come along as we navigate broken chairlifts, massive lift lines, and skiers who refuse to wear masks in the lift line. LIKE THE MUSIC IN OUR VIDEOS?

We’ve had an amazing trip throughout the western United States including much of the West Coast. We’ve cherished our time on the Washington and Oregon coast. But, now it’s time to head home for winter and the upcoming holidays. Sadly, we turn Clarity east and begin our long journey back to Twisted Oak, our Colorado off-grid home. Join us as we leave the pounding waves and dewing air for the dry high altitude desert. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ Like the music in our videos?

It’s almost time for us to turn inland and head home, but not before we soak in the last of the coastal sun. We’ve enjoyed a charmed winter visit to the Oregon coast. Instead of the notorious rains that are so prolific in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve enjoyed a relatively rain-free visit with moments of sun. Who could ask for more? Join us for a trip from Cape Disappointment to Cape Lookout and then on to Tillicum Beach where we explore pounding surf, a stunning craggy coastline in an area dripping with ferns and mystical woodlands. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ TimeCodes 0:00 - Introduction 01:06 - Heading south over the Columbia River bridge to Astoria 02:07 - Walking on the beach at Cape Look Out 03:42 - Morning routine before heading south to Tillicum Beach 07:07 - Driving south along coastal highway 101 08:12 - Beach time with the dogs at Tillicum Beach 09:46 - Epic sunrise at Tillicum Beach Camp 10:13 - The incredible Seal Rock State Park WATCH NEXT: ~ Out Full Van Tour - https://youtu.be/xxJ5Sry2Kho Seeking Winter Sun Series Episode 1 - Getting Ready for Winter Off-Grid https://youtu.be/CR3RtaUQRVU Episode 2 - California or Bust https://youtu.be/x9td-XsHLBo Episode 3 - No Power!

Come along with us on a journey through a fairyland of ferns and a journey through time. In this episode, we find ourselves in Cape Disappointment. After spending a few nights near Olympia Washington in the Capital Forest, we left our mountain perch for the beach and lighthouses. Cape Disappointment didn’t disappoint us in any way. We managed to visit during a period of clear and rain-free weather - even in December. We explored the beach just steps from our campsite and explored trails that wound through stands of fern taller than us. The abandoned weapons battery establishing during the Civil War and then developed through WWII piqued our interest as we explored the remnants from times gone by. We explored the grounds of both the lighthouses on the Cape - the North Head Lighthouse and the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ TimeCodes 0:00 - Introduction 04:33 - A Hike on the Cape Disappointment Trail 06:05 - The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center 06:11 - Cape Disappointment Lighthouse 08:34 - A journey down Jetty A 10:20 - A Hike on The Coastal Forest Trail. 11:51 - The North Head Lighthouse WATCH NEXT: ~ Out Full Van Tour - https://youtu.be/xxJ5Sry2Kho Seeking Winter Sun Series Episode 1 - Getting Ready for Winter Off-Grid https://youtu.be/CR3RtaUQRVU Episode 2 - California or Bust https://youtu.be/x9td-XsHLBo Episode 3 - No Power!

Next on our travels is Snoqualmie, WA where we are visiting Matt’s brother, Mark. Mark received a lung transplant nearly two years ago and he has a suppressed immune system. We worked together with him and his wife Anke to create a way for us to safely visit them. Join us, Mark and Anke, and four dogs as we explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest and natural places near Snoqualmie. We’ll take this opportunity to share with you a little snippet of life with a lung transplant patient and what precautions they must always adhere to - even before the global pandemic. We’ll share with you how we travel safely during these trying times and how considering how we impact others is as important as keeping ourselves safe. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ TimeCodes 0:00 - Introduction 01:36 - Meeting the neighbor animals 02:39 - How Covid has changed a lung transplant recipient’s life 02:56 - What’s like getting a lung transplant 04:41 - Going on an outing with four dogs and a lung transplant recipient 05:09 - The beauty of the Northwest 06:28 - What caregivers can do to reduce the stress of a lung transplant recipient 07:09 - Walking at the Middle Fork State Park 07:53 - Eating meals together - outside in the Northwest in November 08:29 - Eating Out - curbside delivery 09:46 - Eating outside - comfortably in November 11:29 - Saying good-bye - air hugs WATCH NEXT: ~ Out Full Van Tour - https://youtu.be/xxJ5Sry2Kho Seeking Winter Sun Series Episode 1 - Getting Ready for Winter Off-Grid https://youtu.be/CR3RtaUQRVU Episode 2 - California or Bust https://youtu.be/x9td-XsHLBo Episode 3 - No Power!

I’ve been waiting my whole life to drive up Highway 1 along the California Coast. Today, Matt and Kristina drive Clarity along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. But, a storm has rolled in and it is grey and rainy. But we don’t care, we’re here and we’re going to enjoy it - no matter what.

We’re headed up the Coast of California seeking sunny days and comfy temperatures. But we’ve hit a snag! Something is wrong with our solar power and Clarity doesn’t have any power. And without power, we have no running water or fans to keep us cool. We’ve got to troubleshoot the problem and fix it before we head up the West Coast. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ TimeCodes 0:00 - Introduction 02:18 - Driving through Santa Barbara 03:50 - Something is wrong with our solar power! 07:37 - We had to stealth camp for the first time. 09:49 - Breakfast and a walk on Henry’s Beach 11:41 - How we fixed our solar system 13:00 - Looking for Matt’s old home 14:54 - Halama Beach 16:25 - Getting a camping spot near the beach is nearly impossible - driving inland for miles to camp. 🌻 FREE PDF Download: The Six Essentials of a Sustainable Home Plus Bonus - the Before You Buy Property Checklist: https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/SixEssentials 📘 BOOK Twisted Oak: A Journey to Create a Self-Sustaining Life and Home by Kristina Munroe PE https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/book 💻 Online Video Course: Designing You Sustainable Home 101 https://www.sustainablehomeresource.com/ WATCH NEXT: ~ Out Full Van Tour - https://youtu.be/xxJ5Sry2Kho Off-Grid Home Videos ~ Video Single Mom Builds and Elegant Off-Grid Home - https://youtu.be/seYXDpl1wuw

We’ve finished our ProMaster Van Build, taken a ShakeOut tour, and prepared our off-grid home for winter. We’ve taken down the shade sails, cleaned up the mess we left from building the van, and brought in the wood we’ll need for the colder temperatures. Now, it’s time to explore and find some winter sun while we can. We’re heading south looking for warmer climates and some beaches.

Welcome to Our Clarity Off-Grid. HI! We're Matt and Kristina. We're changing our channel name to Clarity Off-Grid because it became very clear to Matt as he pursued his dream of traveling that he should use his talents as a natural builder to create a home on wheels for us to travel. We have always found peace and clarity when we are most connected to the cycles and rhythms of Nature. And that is why Kristina, a residential structural engineer, left her career in 2010 and built a self-sustaining, off-grid home with her two sons. Like Matt's dream of traveling, Kristina's vision of creating this home for her family was crystal clear. This magical home is not only beautiful, whimsical, and fun, but it heats and cools itself, generates its power, collects and heats its household water, and manages its waste in an environmentally responsible way. Together, we have years of design and building knowledge that we openly wish to share with the world to make this planet a better place for us and for those who follow.
