DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING
Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.
Self-sufficient means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.
My favorite parts of your videos are of you and your dog in your tent during a snowstorm at night. Hunkering down, making dinner and just enjoying the warmth of the stove.
Your videos got me through a terrible time in my life. At the end of the day I was happy for a while to watch your adventures. So thank you! Stay safe.
Hey Alexander, I really appreciate the kind words regarding my videos. I'm glad they helped provide a bit of solace during a time of unease. Thank you for tuning in, I hope you have a great evening. ~ Brian
That’s living life right there nothing beats Mother Nature or living in the way god intend us to live (Priceless
I watch your videos when I get anxiety, it helps. I think it's your simplistic way of life and how calm you are, thank you x
SAME!!! It’s literally how I wanna live. It’s so calming tbh
same
Same!
So I was going to mention this earlier but I forgot, For the wind, look into purchasing stronger tent poles and utilize stronger rope. I learned this while growing in Colorado. Like you I have camped all over the mountains and learned from lots of mistakes. Awesome video and your going to think I am nuts but in your tent you may have loop holes on the inside, if so take 5/50 cord and run some through those loops and secure the string to the bottom of your tent with heavy objects. ( It helps pull the tent taunt from the inside)I learned this while camping in Afghanistan. It helps so much!
And park your vehicle close to the side of the tent you anticipate the wind blowing the worst....block some of the wind
Yeah and another tip that I learned the hard way is four corners of the tent poles down
The wind camping in Afghanistan is brutal😉
A real sleeping bag would help, too.
Thank you captain obvious
Dogs are so loyal and bring so much comfort to people.
I could hardly keep my eyes open listening to that wind. Being there would be a different story. That tent is bad ass though but that wind was kicking it.
Your tent is the coziest out of all of them out there! By far!
you made that tent so cozy inside, love the way you interact with your pooch❤
new subscriber here and I just discovered your channel ...imma go binge watch your other videos !!
Welcome to my channel, Bindy! I hope you enjoy the videos of me and Sierra running around the American Southwest. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. ~ Brian & Sierra

the sound of the running stream would put me to sleep instantly. great site!
Marry me
I was so delighted when I realized Sierra is a dog. I used to snowshoe with mine. He kept me safe and was a hero. Thanks for bringing back some sweet memories.
Times like this I wish that you had 5 or 10 acres of your own, with a small cabin on a foundation. I know high wind can rock a cabin, but at least they can be bolted down to the foundation. Maybe you can get some land around Cottonwood, Az. Have a little ranchette for wintering in. Love the show Brian. Take care. Vaughn
My favorite thing about ur channel is your Dog 🐕 he’s so sweet , so well mannered ❤️😆 I love him or her ❤️
The fact that the tent didn't collapse is a testament to your prep (like always tightening the cables on the outside). Thanks for letting us know that the majority of the video happened after the live stream. I was wondering how it would turn out. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Mike! Yeah, it was windy and loud in here but everything faired well. I didn't get much sleep so I'll be crashing out early tonight. Temps are supposed to be between -5F and -15F at camp, I'll be loading up my stove to the max.
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures - Please take care and stay warm!

*this is all i wanna do... lucky man. i hope you upload everyday.*
That wind was crazy ! Sierra is adorable , stay safe !
Thanks Amy, yeah it was pretty loud in here last night! Glad tonight is a bit more mellow. ~ Brian
Zip up your window flaps. The whole point of dome tents is better wind resistance. With your zips open the wind shoots in the gap and makes it into a parachute. It pushes and pulls on all your tie down points, takes tension out of your lines causes the heinous flapping that keeps you up all night. Roll your window covers down and zip your zips and it is way less likely your tent will collapse.
I think the window flaps are for view only. It is fully covered with transparent material. Air cannot come in.
The tent is designed to withstand winds up to 90mph so I'm just fine. Venting the tent is necessary to avoid condensation and also to let in fresh air...45mph is no threat to the tent. I would advise against closing all the window flaps. You are essentially cutting off your quickest access to fresh oxygen. What is your stove malfunctions? What if it gets too hot in your tent? I never close the flaps and tell others the same.
@@bharaninathkomandur6330 Your are correct, they shut off access to fresh oxygen so I would advise against closing the windows entirely with the plastic window covering. In my opinion, those flaps are useless and shouldn't be included in an outfitters tent.
@Off-Grid Backcountry Adventures what kind of tent is that? Where did you buy it from
That was some wind. It looks like a great campsite and drive out.
Good to hear you will post and comment on your gear.
Hey Mark, yeah I loved that wide open terrain in the beginning. We covered 5 miles of expanse like that...pretty cool to have it all to ourselves. Thanks for tuning in, I'll have a review on the Icon Lifesaver Jerry Can Water Purifier next. This is quickly becoming my favorite water container/purifier. ~ Brian
This guy and his best friend ( dog ) are awsome !!
Nerve wracking and satisfying both at the same time. I would listen to a recording of that to fall asleep with.
Weather such as this is the best! It lets you know that you’re alive! It makes your primal programming kick in.. I live to be in these conditions... Cherish it...
Man, you're really amazing doing this Grizzly Adams lifestyle. I feel like you need to put up a tent around your tent during those stormy times, to avoid the misery of the rough winds. Or you need to pitch tent inside a grove of trees when the bad weather comes around. No sense taking that kind of punishment over and over.
I think it would be very dangerous if a tree falls on the tent.
@@patricialeyva gee, I'd assume the bigger ones have deeper roots to keep standing. Maybe bring the truck around to the windy side, as a barrier?
He likes punishment. Otherwise he can live in a hotel, he don't seem like economically weak.
@@patricialeyva You are spot on. With all the dead standing trees in Colorado, I rarely ever camp near them in the winter. Winds during this time of year are horrendous so there's more of a risk to be in trees. I've had a few camps in trees and it's always unnerving when the trees bang together this time of the year due to high winds. Plus, I want to take advantage of solar for my lithium ion battery and passive solar for heat throughout the day. I understand why people would think camping in trees is more ideal but I tend to disagree. I've found camping in full shade during the winter is brutally cold and you end up running your stove nonstop chewing through resources. Ends up being a lot of extra work so I prefer to tough out the few windy days per month and have a better winter camping experience set up in an exposed area. ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures I've had some experiences with high winds in North of Mexico desert and I have seen things like metal sheets and pieces of trees flying dangerously. So I understand how dangerous high speed winds can be.
Stay warm! I love the new camping spot, I always like to be near water when possible. Have been appreciating your videos and wishing you all the best from your neighbor just over the border in New Mexico!
When life gives you lemons, make an egg and bacon bagel!
Haha, absolutely! It was tasty :)
I like the way you can see the storms coming in.
I would love to go camping with him and Sierra, as long as i could bring my two dogs.
Man I love winter camping but never done anything as extreme as this you are insane man, love being in my tent at night after a long day of hiking when it’s super windy and cold and I’m rushing to get in my sleeping bag to warm up lol might be crazy but I love it , also really like the tent setup you got man awesome video 🤙
Thank you for sharing such an interesting video it looks beautiful I love the way the water just falls peacefully and beautiful
A little slice of heaven. I’m jealous
A nice small complete system! I like that you can change out the batteries and also now easy it is to use their solar system with the fridge.
Yeah, it's nice to see it package into one unit. I like this idea and hope more products go this route.
Sierra and that small wood stove made the whole show for me. I'd of closed up and gone back into the back of the truck for more peace and quiet from the wind and the tent noise. Thanks, great video.
I love to camp in bad weather and I have learned to camp safely especially when in bear country. This is how I learned to safely camp, by watching video like this gentleman.
I love camping when storms are predicted. The high plains of Texas have been great for camping. You can see the lightning building up when the storms are hours away. It’s just exciting. Safe travels.
love this way of living.. 5 weeks and counting, No looking back..
Sounds like a Freight train outside, and this guys casually making Breakfast😂😂😂😂😂
True life is this exact depiction for me. Sheeeesh love the ideology of this simplistic tranquil life style.
Once my kids are a bit older we are there.
I'm obsessed with you channel. I love camping and always wanted to try winter camping. Keep the videos coming
Merry Christmas.... what beautiful scenery to have Christmas! Thank you for sharing 🇦🇺😎👌
it`s insanely cozy that tent!!!!!!omfg the master of cozyness!!!!!
Yeah, I love this set up! Makes riding out winter storms much easier.
That is camping in style.
Can't believe he learned this all from sesame street.
My best to you for a Merry Christmas and a sane and healthy new year!
Thanks Eric, Merry Christmas to you as well! ~ Brian
my brother and I camped in an alakanak one deer season in Wisconsin and real bad winds blew the smoke stack right off! The stove was pumping smoke in the tent and we had to quickly run out, use a wool sweater to handle the hot stove pieces and restock it. Since then, I use sheet metal screws in that particular chimney
I would have a set of noise-canceling headphones in this kinda situation. lol
I was just about to suggest the same thing, or at least some ear plugs
Mine don't seem to work against irregular noise, like all that flapping - though they might stop the howling of wind.
@@ghostship7823 he needs some better shelter against the wind. A tent's no good for that. Maybe bring the truck around to the windy side of the tent, as a shield?
I use an old ipod nano with wired earbuds, I found a youtube video with 10 hours of white noise, downloaded and converted to mp3 and put on my ipod. I can't hear a thing. It works great for camping once the birds start chirping early in the morning along with an eye mask for when it starts getting light.
I personally wonder why he doesn't sleep in the back of the truck during these situations? Buddy heater with carbon monoxide detector?
@Ömęřţå_ Đøń83 "good" is a subjective term. Tent may still be standing, but you'll be miserable and tired as it flaps around you. That's no way to live for a prolonged period. Better to have a camper with solid walls.
The important thing is U and your dog have shelter, food and water and warmth........With a tent with a heater in it U got the important stuff and your dog looks very happy because of it........That's all that matters.........I wish Australia tents had a spot for a wood heater. U can buy them like that here.
Merry Christmas to you and your dog.
The dog is very cute ♥️ and kindness.
We should keep the animals in safe ♥️♥️♥️
I love how you made the bottom floor of your tent very comfortable with blankets to stand on. So many people who pitch tents on RUclips and do it in the winter time have a floor of cold, dirty snow. Yuck!
Lovely video. I remember camping in my truck at a truck stop in New Jersey. It was 17 F.
Dogs body language tells me that he got the leadership.
Merry Christmas Brian and Sierra 🎄
🎄🎄 *Merry Christmas Brian & Sierra!!!* 🎄🎄
Merry Christmas Lady Alex!
Drone shot intro is rad
Full blown blizzard here in NW MN today with crazy wind and I have been cozy in my house, can't imagine being where you are. Although I have done some winter camping in the BWCAW you are at a whole different level. I love your content.
Happy New year to Brian and Sierra, love that great companion.
Now that's what I call camping 🏕️
Much respect! Stay safe...love that dog 🐶🤙🏼
This is Egyptian street dog :)
Love your videos. Merry Christmas from Michigan.
That is one sturdy tent. Niiiice
I find this relaxing. There's that element of comfort and protection in a spacious tent with the ambiance of the stove and lights and the sound of the wind. Having Sierra there for company is the cherry on top. Can you use earplugs to help with the sound of the wind so you can sleep?
Merry Christmas to you and Sierra!🎄
So awesome what a dream , wish I had the nerves,,,,, loving it. Thank you.
Awesome video well done
The wind ain’t the only thing nuts 😂
The scenery is the beginning was breathtaking... thank you.. Merry Christmas to you & Sierra.
Thanks Andrew! Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you for following along with my adventures ~ Brian
The product reviews will be really beneficial, thanks.
You bet, I come across some cool products occasionally so I'll be sure to share the info with everyone going forward. Thanks for tuning in ~ Brian
Came here for the tent and stove… Stayed for The dog. 🐕 ❤️
BTW, I have that same asesarme Street T-Shirt. 🤘🏻
Everyone loves that sweet puppy 🐶 I know I do.❤❤ So glad she is feeling better. . I PRAYED 🙏 so hard for her to get to feel better.
"We didnt get any sleep last night" who is the "we"? That dog probably slept great
Sara is smart stay in a warm cozy bed!
Most of your videos start with the sentence: "Yeah, there's a snow storm coming up..." lmao
Damn, I'll prolly pack up and leave with that wind. Hats off to you for sticking to your guns. Stay safe always!
The winds out there can get crazy. Hey thkz for the product demo on the Acopower fridge. That is exactly what I have been waiting for......think of the versatility. I have been using the lifetime 55 quart cooler and it is good.....keeps ice for al long time, but it has all the frustration of......well...a ice cooler.
Merry Christmas Brian and Sierra!!!
Hey new watcher and subscriber here, just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. They've been quite relaxing AND informative 👍💯. At first my husband thought I had developed a crush until he found my wish list of camping gear. Now that he understands it is possible to not only survive, but actually be comfortable I might actually get his butt out there 😆...it's a work in progress but hopefully before we're too old I'll get him convinced. Thanks for sharing your adventures and your sweet doggie too. Stay safe and well out there 🤙💯
The inside of your tent looks cozy !
Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Merry Christmas to you and the BEAUTIFUL Sierra!!
I’ve experienced many annual typhoons in southern Japan. There have been times when I was even worried my roof might blow off! Actually nothing scares me like the raw power of nature!
THE WIND IS LIKE A LULLABY I SLEEP WELL !
wow your tent is blowin like crazy
Get yourself some resistance bands so you can build muscle out there
They work wonders
Or dig some berms as barriers against the wind
@@lukemarks92 ｛,
But the logs?
You dont need no equipment, come on lads
I love the tent.
I dont know what to make of this. On 1 end it looks crazy to do but on the other end it looks cozy and relaxing...Im stuck...lol
i do love watching snow storm episodes
And I love filming them! I really enjoy sharing these adventures, thank you for tuning in. ~ Brian
Great sleeping weather... I could live like that, even at my age of 66.
Awesome !! This is living...
You make the best meals Brian! Yummy lookin'! Love to Sierra.
I use to live in Colorado and man it makes me miss that big sky,mountains,and crisp air
Merry Christmas to you and Sierra..take care of yourself
I love 💕 your dog. She gets under the covers and she's good to go. Lights out
Sierra is so much fun, she's currently sawing logs next to me at our camp in Sedona. Thanks for watching, hope you have a nice Sunday ~ Brian
Bacon and egg are the best choice for any type of weather
Looks cozy
U make it so cozy!the babbling stream
The wind would be scary
Hope you and Sierra had a nice Christmas 🎄
Glad you survived the winds. Even here tonight we are expecting 5 for a low. Happy Holidays my friend. Peace Out from Angry Old HIppie Hermit at Old HIppieland.
wow that was crazy bad wind!! I would have loved to have been in there lol
We love this Channel. Merry Christmas!
Thank you for tuning in!! ~ Brian
Been watching your channel for about 3 weeks now in the evening. Love every video. Keep it up and I hope Sierra gets better soon.
That's some great airal footage, badass tent, extreme, is extreme!
Thanks! I love this new drone...I'm using the Mavic Air 2.
Lol, Nice Weather is for Whimps, luv the sign Brian! This morning I replaced the wrecked truck with an 89 Suburban, has a new engine and a lot of the off road upgrades already installed. It’s at the mechanic getting some minor issues fixed. I’ll be back on the road shortly. Give Sierra a good scratch behind the ears for me. Take care and stay strong.
Right on, I'm glad to hear you are about to get on the road in the Suburban. I'm jealous of all the interior room those trucks have!
