Living off the grid - homesteading and self-sufficiency

This is day 1,766 offgrid in a campervan in the American southwest. 95% of my power comes from solar, with ~5% from the alternator when I relocate between boondocking sites. The 750w array on the van roof makes about 2kWh/day, depending on what I'm doing. Today is 1.81kWh so far, so in the ballpark.

Water management is a key part of boondocking; I have a 35gal tank and carry another 14g in 7g jugs. Easy peasy to make two weeis, less easy to go 3 weeks.

When I lived in a house on rural land I had chickens and built an incubator for hatching fertilized eggs from eBay or whereever. The only things I miss from that previous life are those chooks, the tractor, and motorcycles. :-\

I linked to this community from the sidebar over on our community for folks that live in vans, cars, and RVs. We're offgrid in a different way. :-)
