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.

Survival relies on redundancy. We are building five core systems to ensure safety, comfort, and autonomy. Here is the current status of the build.
Power
Currently held up by OUPES and gas powered generators. I'm in talks with Renogy for a more permanent setup.
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 roof of the RV, but I'm about to add the Wavlink AX3000 WiFi 6 Outdoor Repeater.
