Independence starts with a system.
One family. One dream. One outcome.
Building a life from scratch isn't magic; it's engineering. Follow the blueprint as we turn raw land into a self-sustaining homestead.
The Master Blueprint
Survival relies on redundancy. We are building five core systems to ensure safety, comfort, and autonomy.
Power
Currently held up by OUPES and gas powered generators.
Water
Water is setup and we are hauling it ourselves, 275g tote on the platform I built.
Shelter
Shelter is temporary, we will be building a house within a year or two.
Grow
Still in the planning phase but we're developing better ideas as the days go.
Comms
Starlink is active on the RV roof, but I'm about to add the Wavlink AX3000 WiFi 6 Outdoor Repeater.
