Building an Off-Grid Mountain Ranch by Hand:: Finishing Up the Driveway to my Campsite

Happy Sunday Everyone! It's a windy day here at Recycle Ranch and I'm getting lots of work done. Jamming while the weather is still cool, looks like it's going to stay this way for the next few days so I look forward to accomplishing a lot. If you are interested in the Patreon Only Livestream tonight then please see the link below. I'll be starting up at 6pm. Thanks and have a great afternoon! ~ Brian & Sierra (the real star of this traveling roadshow)

I'm calling this place Recycle Ranch because I want to build all structures and outbuildings out of second hand materials. Should be a fun experience, really look forward to getting started! ~ 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.
