From Burn Piles to Beauty: Transforming our Off-Grid Oasis

We are Kaitlyn & Patrick, two adventure seekers that recently sold all of our belongings to full fill our life long dream of living sustainably. We purchased 15 acres of raw land in the mountains of East Tennessee. Since moving to our property we’ve installed our solar setup for all of our power needs and rainwater catchment systems for all of our water needs. Join us as we continue to build out our off grid homestead in the mountains and navigate this adventure we call life!


This week we start preparing for Spring and warmer temperatures at our off grid property. We've put off cleaning up the downed trees on our property for long enough. It’s time to burn some brush! As always thanks for watching!
