Life at an Off Grid Wall Tent

  • There is such joy at an off grid property- from waking up in a wall tent to that first cup of coffee to a hard day's work ending with a raging campfire. In between there's lots of work to be done- projects, firewood, cooking, and planning for our future cabin. Beauty, silence, and wilderness is all around, reminding me just how lucky I am to be part of it all. There's nothing like an off-grid property!

I give thanks for EVERYTHING at this point. Looking back, I can clearly see the arrogance and entitlement, I'm embarrassed to admit.

    Watching you brought back memories for me from the days I lived with my father and step-mother in Saginaw, Michigan. Breakfast was a great meal and we had scrambled Eggs, bacon, toast, and fresh milk which we received nearly every day during the week from the home delivery man. The table you made using the two stumps is nice and will be nice for awhile and hope it last for several seasons for you all.
    That is a nice looking area you all have to live at when you want to get away from home and the headaches of life for awhile. The mosquitoes must have been in your tent and bit you while you was asleep and you just noticed it much later. I love my steak well done and do love having A-1 steak sauce with it and some potatoes also with butter on them.

    When I was a child we had a wall tent. Not that big or all the stuff but the best people to spend the night with. Then pancakes made over the fire on a cast iron fire. After breakfast I spent as much time as I could before heading to the stables. After a trail ride I came back to camp and we prepped for our dinner and campfire. Then like I've got to swing some more camp before we start cooking.

    Hey Brooke,
    My ... that was a huuuuge spider! I definitely am not a fan of spiders so I totally got it when you said he has to go!! 👌
    Love what you're doing to the property! It looks quaint and inviting! 👍
    Thanks for sharing your pico recipe, I love Pico too, especially on my eggs and bacon! 👌
    Well I have to say when it comes to my steak it has to be well done!! Lol ... I can't have it mooing back at me! And whether it's a good steak or not I still love A1 sauce on mine. A1 sauce just gives it that extra punch the steak needs. By the way the steak and stuffed mushrooms look delicious! I got to hand it to you Brooke, you definitely make the outdoors living look appealing!
    It's funny because I love the silence too! It's nice when I can hear myself think. Hence, the reason why I love working graveyard shift .. with no one around to bother me. I'm basically My own Boss out here in the high desert, while taking care of County property. It's funny because I agree with you that the night has a different sound to it, than the day does. I love the stars in the sky when I can see them of course. They built up the high desert so much now, that we have light pollution up here. And it's hard to see the stars sometimes at night now.
    Thanks for sharing Brooke, you're a gem! 👌
    God bless you always my friend!

    Back in the late 80s a friend and I went to UP to visit an older gentleman that lived between us, a man we used to work for throwing newspapers. Backkk in the days when teenagers actually worked, and some before and after school.. Anyhow, we went to Seney , UP. It was awesome , untouched beauty every where you looked, isolated, and wild,, as in almost lawless... I loved my short time there .

    Steak: med rare (hot & pink) basted with butter, garlic & worcestershire while grilling. Lots and lots of mushrooms sautéed in butter, ice tea with lemon and no sugar, chocolate for dessert.. I so enjoy your camping and outdoor adventures. I even enjoyed Nam as an infantryman in 1969. It was just a perpetual campout. Great adventure except for being shot at and mortared. Keep the adventures coming Brook and Dave...Get happy!

    Civilization have distanced us as humans from our original and natural environment. We have been locked inside buildings, cars, etc. I truly, truly feel bad for people who don’t like to go on trips like this. They’re missing a lot! There’s something very unique about being out in the nature. It’s the most beautiful, spiritual and peaceful feeling ever. There’s no city in the whole universe would give you the same feeling. I completely enjoyed every second of your video Brooke. Now I can’t wait to go camping one once it get a little bit cooler here in Saudi Arabia desert 🐪 🇸🇦
    Thank you for the amazing video & God bless you

    Hi Dave Bring some dryer sheet with you when you go in the woods. wipe your skin & your hair with one sheet you wont even see any bugs around you they will never bite you. I use it all the time when I go out at night at home & every time I go in the woods. Let me know if you try it. You will never buy any bug spray again again. Take care I live in Ontario Canada.

    I love your videosand your life style, you actually remind me of my younger self and how I grew up, camping in the back woods and wilderness areas of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I commented on one of your videos about my life and myself, hope you read it. I am a small but mighty spit fire like you. Ya, I wore red wig work boots to at one time, plus I gotta have my earrings too no matter what I doing. I have lost a few favorite earrings in the past, some of my silver and turquoise, a enameled one with a mountain, sun, and pine tree went to the bottom of a lake were I was teaching a canoeing class to Young Girl Scouts. I make my own pick, salas, and I live to make Mexican shrimp cocktail, I have to have Tabasco too. I do my toast like you do, in the pan or in a griddle. I Also add a little garkuc salt to it if I am having spaghetti, clam chowder or something like that. I didn't like big spiders either, I am not afraid of them I just don't want them in me. I can build things like you do, my Dad was my best friend growing up and he thought me so much and to be independent, thank God he did I like your decorating style to. I wish I could be there with you sometimes. I became disabled a few years ago due to a bad accident, plus I will be 70 this year. I spilt a lot of wood in my day. My Dad built a cabin when I was 18, I helped him, plus it was heated by a large cast iron stove. He later bought 40 acres of forest land and built a house in it, in top of a mountain, I helped him, plus it was heated by 2 cast iron stoves. I heated my home I had for 20 years with a wood stove, a Buck Stove, so I can handle a chainsaw and a axe pretty good. Anyway, were I live now is just a few miles from the little farming town I grew up in and in about a hour and a few minutes you can be in the mountains or at the beach, the ocean is Nice to visit now and then, there are some Great redwood Forest on the coastal mountains of California. I live in the central valley of California ❣️ I love the Sierra Nevada mountains ❤ I love cooking over a campfire, my grandma tought me well, plus I can bake in a Dutch oven on the fire. I am a A-1 person too. I love that you always pray over your food! Keep making great videos, I love watching you ❣️

    A lot of heaven right there! Even just watching you brings me such peace and joy! You’re absolutely right there’s nothing better than staring into the flames of a fire especially a beautiful campfire that you’ve made yourself and sitting in a nice quiet space whether with yourself or with friends and family… It’s such a special wonderful time. And yes grateful to be alive just another day!
