I've read lots of posts about people's plans, which sound great, but is anyone currently doing it who could share their experiences? Thanks!
 
im notlonely or tryin to get in someone elses shit, id just like to hear about your setup and how u like the whole thing. im highly interested in doin this at some point. thanks
 
using solar only 60 watts now with a geni, 1k-10k an acre, wanting to start growing 40% of our food but now just a kick ass camp in the woods with two rvs and attempting to build a earthship in the next 2 years
 
That's awesome man this stuff really really intrigues me. Are u going to be hunting, fishing or trapping for food at all? I think homesteading is a great way to find some purpose for life while being connected with the outdoors. U anywhere near grand junction?
 
I'm up at almost 10,000 ft elevation in an old RV. Got a solar panel & 12 volt system of 6 volt golf cart batteries wired in series with just a 400 watt inverter.I've got a gas generator to run higher voltage things on occasion. Need to do a LOT of improvements for it to be livable through the -30 deg temps I get there. There's a 250 lb propane tank but no wood stove yet. I'm bailing this winter though because last winter really sucked...ha ha...paid $4300 for five treeless acres. No water or well. I haul that in. Do a composting toilet. Got some awesome characters as neighbors though. Buncha preppers & an old hippie who lives in a buried shipping container. Need to have a greenhouse to grow food up there. Got lots of plans I wanna do but no income just now to do it. It's basically like a less populated Slab City there but always fucking freezing cold instead of desert hot. Surrounded by mountains with two huge reservoirs a few miles south. Killer fishing, tons of antelope, deer, elk, rabbit etc. We have a secret spring nobody knows about : ) I've been living alone there a year now. It'll be nice one day.....

Nice, Freezing is easier to deal with than the heat, to my way of thinking anyway.
