Off-Grid Ranch Life: Calm Before the Snow Storm, Weekend w/ Friends

The snow is forecasted to hit the ranch in an hour so I'll be sure to get plenty of footage to share with everyone! Temps are going to dip down to 17F tonight with winds in the 20-30mph range...the wind chill will be downright frigid. I'm enjoying my time here at this mellow ranch with good friends, we checked out some nearby ranches with incredible Pioneer and Native American history. I would LOVE to have something like this in my "neighborhood"! More snow videos to come next...hope you all had a great weekend

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 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.
