About Us

Originally from New England, we made the great escape to Nevada's warm desert mountains in 2019, just in time for a worldwide pandemic. Perfect timing, right?

​

What started as exploring beyond the bright lights of Las Vegas quickly turned into a love for the Southwest's rugged landscapes, rich history, and endless dirt roads. Somewhere along the way, our adventures led us to purchase a piece of raw desert land in Southern Nevada, where we're now building our dream of a debt-free, off-grid lifestyle.

​

Today, we're trading city life for wide-open spaces, developing our off-grid homestead one project (and one challenge) at a time. We're sharing the entire journey, from building our own infrastructure and transitioning to full-time RV living to the challenges and successes we experience along the way.

​

And when we're not knee-deep in desert soil, you'll still find us exploring ghost towns and bouncing down dusty trails in our 2003 Jeep TJ, Bumble.

​

For us, it's about more than living off-grid. It's about building a life with less debt, more freedom, and more time for the things that make us happy.​​​
