@Sequestered Ridge Ranch - living off grid isn't all fun and games like the rest of the world seems to say. It's work one way or another. Hope your power system starts behaving, it's not like you don't have other things to do!

According to social media videos it's happy go lucky and latest trend, everyone should be doing it and it's just so green
After all they get millions of views.I will get it, just going to have to adjust, need to get the unit in a area that doesn't drop below freezing no matter what such as root cellar.

Or buying a 3 acre Utopia and raising pigs, cows, goats, sheep, alpacas, and chickens. Or! And a garden!

Now now people, if you have 40 acres or less it's called a ranchette, not a ranch.
Out here they sell the properties as, off grid, ton of BLM land to play on scenic views, power is only so many miles away, grow your own and run a bunch of animals, be a farmer or rancher.
Let me straighten you guys out, BLM is off limits to EVERYONE!!! Unless your family was a rancher back in the 50's when they allocated the BLM land to your family, so no you can't lease BLM land, no you can't go hunting on it as you please, no you can't go galloping your horse across it and it's not a ATV track either. More than likely it's land locked too.
Scenic views, yes with off grid yes, but what we didn't tell you is the sound of a close neighbor running his generator(s) 24/7 cause he believed he was beating the man on getting such cheap land, but can't afford anyone to put solar in for him, can't pay power to be ran to his home and can't figure out Watts are Watts in power.
You need at least 49 acres per a head of cow or whatever due to lack on rainfall which carries over to how much water you would need to grow crops. Forewarn you, your little F150/F250 can carry that 500 gallons water after you bottom the suspension out, strain the powertrain and blow a few tires on the gravel roads here. In which I get to come along and save your dumb arse cause you didn't know weight of water is 8.34 lbs per a gallon.
While you are at it on trying to start of business living off the land, there is covenants, tons of them!!! Might not know it when you bought the place, but you will find out when you are summoned to court by your neighbor who has all authority to do so cause you have less than 80 acres and he has checked off all the requirements on the list. Also you took over 180 days to build a structure, no... straw bale houses covered in cob aren't going to work either.

Awhile back I posted about my niece acquiring a husky, while being an unemployed college student, a (forgive me) suburban Californian, with clueless parents. The chickens are coming home to roost. More later. Phone call tonight- how do you fix carpet? ![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")

We have given up on driveway and are parking in \_/ street side of gate. Getting to go wade in mud at work, ugh. At least it truly is mud unlike in town.

Go to work day. 
Coffee, chores and head out. It'll be all day. Then home, take truck for tank of gas, hook up trailer -- ready to leave early Tuesday morn to pick up the fence I bought. 
Work again Wednesday (while it rains). Hope it isn't much wetness.
Have a great day everyone
