- Winter has set in and moving to Desert Rest during the winter is a bad idea. So what am I going to do now? Some Advice for other new homesteaders.

I saw this video pop up yesterday, but when I clicked on it to watch, it disappeared. It was back this morning and worked fine.
Smart move waiting until spring for the move. Living off grid isn't instant easy life, and starting off in a harsh winter environment would not only be stressful, but could turn deadly. Go in spring and you have the whole year to prepare for the upcoming winter. And trust me, you will need every minute of that year to get ready.

Something was weird with the internet last night into this morning. I had lots of trouble watching Amazon Prime and Netflix last night. Sorry you had trouble. The dragons and the bears must be watching again.
@desertrestnv only dragons. Bears are hybernating...
My service is in and out tonight. Missed some of the video, but I'd wait until after the toughest weather of the year. Won't be a Debbie Downer but. But even if you have a totally secure dwelling (walls, floor, door and roof), a move to another way of life is psychologically stressful.
Bring music, a strong flashlight and good inside lighting to battle nighttime isolation. I prepared for nighttime toileting inside. I slept in my vehicle in a protected area. I found a protective neighbor. Take a .22 for rattlesnakes and coyotes.
I know a lady who lives alone in an abandoned trailer park in a small trailer on a hill near a highway. She has electric hook-up but nothing else. She is alone. Told me it took her a year to adapt and settle down. Took me at least that long.
Some things don't turn out like you planned but the way things turn out will end up okay. 😊
@@retirementbootcampoff-grid237 Thank you for the insight. That's something I hadn't thought of. Without the solar power in place the options are limited.
@@desertrestnv
Sherry, if you are getting a big ole solar panel/battery combo, keep us posted because I know power is limited when you go that route. My tiny Jackery 280v runs a string of tiny lights for about an hour. 🤔 lol
@@retirementbootcampoff-grid237 @GBear has been working with me for the past year on the solar. Things change so fast right now that I'm taking my time. I have bought 2 of the WattCycle 12v 100Ah batteries. But now am leaning towards a Jackery type 3500W to be able to run some AC in one of the trailers. I will use solar panels with backup charging options similar to GBears setup . I plan on posting a video regarding my power choices soon.

If you don't have a hot, hot summer up there in NV, have you considered a 12 volt fan, or a fan for USB port? Pretty sure they use less power than an AC unit. Hmm...
@@retirementbootcampoff-grid237 I have thought of using a fan. That will work until about mid-July. This last summer showed me that there will be a few weeks that, until I get them under a car port type structure, the trailers will be too hot from about 4 PM until sundown. Once the sun goes down the temps cool super fast. I slept very well. One trailer already has an efficient window AC unit. I found a super efficient portable swamp cooler that will work with the solar and generator power as well.
Can you dig a trench down to my place and drain that water into my pond?
@@GBear I'll get Newsom right on it. But it would take 30 years!
@desertrestnv He's probably at a T Swift concert with his Canadian counterpart.
