Off-Grid in the Colorado Mountains: Quiet Mornings at Camp by the Stove with My Dog

Here's another round of cold weather camping footage to hold us over until winter. Hope you all are enjoying your summer and staying cool. I know it's been a scorcher across most of the US as well as other parts of the world so I'll keep the cold weather vids coming. I have enough footage for roughly 3-4 more and then we'll have to wait until winter is underway for fresh vids. Have a great weekend! ~ Brian & Sierra

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 homesteading 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.
