What is Security?
This post is coming in late because we are right in the middle of moving again and I’ve had to prioritize other things. Today is moving day so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. By the end of the day our family will be living full time off the grid! Our only power will come from a few solar panels and a portable generator. It feels a little bit strange! Although this move has been easier in some regards, it is still very difficult.
It’s Crunch Time!
Hello Friends! My schedule has become unpredictable as I've been taking trips to go to our property to begin preparations for our move to full time, off grid life. We will be moving soon and there is a lot that needs to be done. It’s getting to be crunch time so I’m going to cut back to posting once per week. Here is a look at some of the things I’ve been up to, adventures had, and lessons learned!
Property Update
I’ve learned since moving to Missouri that I need to be a little bit more proactive about checking the weather forecast. We got rain so infrequently in Utah and I learned to see the signs of rain coming. In Missouri, rain comes more often and I haven’t yet learned to see the signs so sometimes it surprises me and my plans for the day get washed away. I decided to check the weather last week and was surprised to see one day with a high of 72 degrees! I thought maybe that would be a good day for us to visit our property again. I checked the forecast for that location and it was showing a high of 74. I couldn’t ask for better conditions! We had to make some decisions regarding infrastructure and building plans but we needed some information first. So we made plans and headed out for the day.
The Great Off Grid Ozark Adventure: part 13
So far in this journey I had learned about the importance of not allowing myself to stress out so much before a trip, how to repair/rebuild a trailer, and a lot about how to take-in apart and reassemble the intake manifold on my truck. The next part of the journey was an opportunity to learn about tires. Trailer tires in particular.
