We have HUGE NEWS! Click here: https://bit.ly/tangentswithtylerandtodd for our BRAND NEW WEEKLY SHOW, Tangents with Tyler and Todd, airing EVERY Wednesday!
Is living off grid hard? Why did we build a Geodesic Dome? Are we having kids? We're answering all your juicy questions about life and building our homestead that is completely off the grid! Sitting down for a Q&A and reflecting back on how we got here on our a mission to build a fully sustainable, off the grid homestead was a lot of fun...see you on Wednesday for part 2!

When we first set out on building our cabin, we had planned on doing a traditional a-frame style cottage but as time went on and we did our homework we realized that if we carefully planned things we could build a cabin that won't just last our lifetime but generations to come. The more we learned about what it truly means to live off grid and be self-sufficient, we quickly realized the importance of building a homestead...for those of you who don't know (because we definitely didn't), a homestead is a property with several outbuildings that all provide a separate purpose for the goal self sufficiency! We knew from the beginning that we wanted the independence that having a homestead gave us but weren't interested in roughing it off the grid like a typical log cabin you're used to seeing! So we dreamt up a modern twist on cabin life that will fit our needs and after all these days dreaming, it's FINALLY happening and we can't wait to bring you along for the ride! #homestead #offgrid #vanlife

Join us every Sunday as we continue to create off the grid homestead vlogs, sharing our adventures as we build our own alternative lifestyle, living simply in the wild wonderful off grid forest!

How did we get here?
After a year of full time travel living the van life, we had to adapt when the world changed. To keep busy we’ve converted our tiny house on wheels into a fully functioning off grid tiny house that has everything we need. Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We've spent the last year doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we'll need in the future.
