RE: Building a Tiny Off Grid Cabin in the Forest

in #tiny-house7 years ago

Hey man that cabin is gonna be awesome once you finish those plans...looking forward to seeing the progression! You'll have to Post on the deck build, along with the solar and off grid water setup. You're are very fortunate to have a clear spring for drinking water on your property. Here not so much. Have a creek, but the water in it is from runoff from the cattle pastures. I guess in SHTF it could be run through a Berkey and boiled.
My off grid is water is a 3/4 acre pond...way low now do to drought...we need rain desperately here in TX.
Your cabin build is an inspiration...keep up the great work!

I'm starting a cabin too...got the foundation poured, and cabin on site...it was a pre-fab, so it saved a ton of time. I'll do finish out, windows, solar, water, rain catchment, etc20171201_105836.jpg

Dang Texas! You're making me feel like a slacker. You're the bomb!

Oh yeah, are you into prepping? If so, how serious are you about it?

I have only recently started putting a few things back. Water, seeds, and some canned foods.

You know the shelves go bare after the 3 proverbial days, of trucks not pulling into Walmart.

Slacker?!?!? Dude, you built a cabin from the ground up...dang man...I gotta keep up with YOU!!! Yeah I keep some stuff socked away for a raining day, grid down, SHTF, TEOTWAWKI ...take your pick. But long term I'm trying to get to a sustainable homestead producing as much output (food), as input ...not easy, but doable!!! Never just wanna depend on walmart or the trucks lol
