Приєднався 10 жов 2023
Our family owns a couple of cabins on a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico near Port O'Connor, Texas. We don't live there full time, but we spend as much time as possible out there. My aunt, uncle, cousin, and I own a cabin that we've been working since 2015 and we still do quite a bit of work each year to upgrade it.
My wife and I own a different cabin pretty near the first one, and we just bought it in 2023. We wanted to share some of our adventures, and also help others decide if this off grid barrier island cabin life is for them. It's not for that faint of heart, there are constant struggles, and everything rusts away at some point, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Our poor little security camera did as well as it could compared to the hurricane force winds. We'll be out to the island soon to start repairs. #islandlife #portoconnor #beach #fishing #islandlife #saltlife #offgrid #offgridliving #offgridlife

Dragging a solidly rusted truck out of the yard at the island
Good advice!
Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you.
I need some parts off of it. Are you willing to sell some.
Very useful!
Nothing special there!
Wow. Where is this?
This is on Matagorda Island in Texas.
Where is that? Beautiful rain!!
This is Matagorda Island in Texas.
I could watch this all day long.
Slow and steady progress every time that we go out there.
This is why I went on a diet. Look at that beer belly!
The trip wasn't too bad at all! Everything depends on wind direction out there.
It actually drives!
Wow!
Love this!
That’s loud!
Only Frank!😂😂
That’s pretty cool!
Stay safe!
Cousin Frank having some fun!
It was quite sad to see this truck go.
This is about the only way to move a rusted out vehicle on the island.
That's all she wants to do when we go out there now.
The tests definitely surprised me.
Life's definitely an adventure out there.
Moooving on out!
Moooo!
