Alone Again... Living Off Grid in the High Desert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- I'm still living alone off-grid in this remote cabin. I find some time to focus on some hobbies while also keeping busy with the tiny house conversion! Overall, it was a pretty lonely couple of weeks out here...

Hi Nate, Just a suggestion if you're at home all day and have the stove lit you can cook your dinner on the wood stove and save propane. Just leave it cooking slowly all day. I've got steak and veg on mine at the moment. Everything usually comes out really tender and tasty.
My woodstove is my pizza oven, always has a pot of hot water for tea, skewered shish kabab cooker, a dutch oven bread cooker, cooks a big pot of soup or stew in short order, a clothes dryer (with a clothes rack set up over it)..etc etc etc. Saves me a ton of money. Oh yeah..it also keeps my 2 story house toasty warm.
my mom Cooks plenty of stews, pots of beans, etc on our wood stove during the winter.
Food tastes better on a wood stove too...
@@crabbingclammingboatcampin4962 - what state?
I'd be worried about air circulation (fresh air) and also AC. Florida chick: need my AC....
Fun mini golf course ⛳ and what magical night great wonderful song 🎸🎶
Nate, you have many talents!!! Very impressive!
Your music is awesome.
You have mad skills in editing and the photography in your videos..
Are can make the most of anything. I am glad Shannon is coming back for you. In another week you would have built a surf park :)
You need some neon colored balls! They'd be much easier to find! Fun to have your own 'golf range!'
you gotta do more singing Nate, sounds awesome
You always do a great job with your videos but this one seemed to really capture the mood and the moment. Nice job 👍
Wow the pictures are beautiful at night.
Maybe you could use Colorful Golf Balls.....
They'd be Easier to Find.....
We use them in the Snow.....
pretty good man/thanks much
Fantastic photos!
Thank you for another great video. If you used some sand on top of the gravel it would help your "green ". Your land is beautiful. Your astro photography is also beautiful. I'm looking forward to your tiny house series. Thank you for taking us along.
Nice shot of the night sky
Use orange or red golf balls often used in snowy situations. Should make it a little easier to find in the tall grass.
Nate you rock man!!
Beautiful place. Nice drone shots too. Keep up the good work
Loved the shot tracer on those 3 wood swings, you are a braver man then me taking aim between your houses
Great video, Nate! Your golfing, singing and all were very good. We look forward to seeing Shannon again, too.
Those first winter shots took my breath away, and then you showed the astro image and my breath stopped. You, sir, are definitely a Renaissance man. Really enjoying your new journey.
We love you.
You are a true renaissance man Nate! Great video!
Gm Nate And Shannon Love where your at and I gotta say That Putting green is a great way to get a desert place shaped up you might want to think about this though to get more of the putting green and The yard stakes and the land scapeplastic You can find that at Home Depot its not to expensive
Another great video. Ty for sharing.
Hey Nate, if you buy one of those "scorpion" UV lights... maybe you can find your missing golf balls at night.
I expect the Next Time Shannon leaves on a Trip, that Nate will Set-Up a Inflatable Swimming Pool and a Extra Large Fan so that He can get some Surfing time in.
Lots going on Nate, love all your videos! Been following you for a long time
There has got to be a better word for a tiny house than a "Tiny House"!! (Uhhg!!)
Man you have some haters on here downplaying your singing. Sounds great keep it up. Enjoy it in the video. We bought some land in Colorado off grid and would love to do the same. Stay safe buddy.
That was fun, Nate. Looking forward to the next episode.
Interesting video about there, beautiful country. Enjoy your time there.
See being alone isn't that bad. You built a practice golf course. Did some other things. Sometimes being to ourselves is needed. Wondered why you wouldn't put the putting part where you have the flag and put the flag in the other direction so you wouldn't be hitting the balls towards the structures. Thanks for the images of space that was awesome. 💕
Will we see Adventure Van Man make an appearance at your land someday? Seeing you two reunited would be awesome!
More Dave! Lol love it. Glad you got a couple days of decent weather. Great video!
Hi Nate - you’re a pretty good guitar player and singer! I live in Burque/ABQ/The Duke City and there’s a lovely little micro-brewery/eatery place in Corrales called Casa Vieja which has people playing/entertaining there in an evening. Don’t know if you have ever played or like to play in public, but I just mention it on the off chance. Enjoying your vlog!
Cool video, I took a trip out to new Mexico back in March. I loved it so much I bought an acre of land their. Next spring I'll be camping in my land
Wow those night shots are amazing. Your property is fabulous. I would have to clean the bushes away from the cabin though. My snake phobia lol
Are you going crazy yet? 😅 looks wild.
Shannon was smart, she left for warmer weather lol. Nate, I was thinking if you painted the balls bright orange and practiced hitting them on a line between the trees, you could get very good at putting the ball where you wanted it to go every time. Have a wonderful week God Bless you both in all you do.
What a spread you two have. Thanks for letting us all tag along on these off grid thoughts and introspective adventures. Curious, did you ever experiment with your bluetti's settings? Still having that phantom power draw?
You should get a 1kw wind turbine once you build that custom system!
I knew that someone was missing in this video!💕 I'm glad that Shannon is coming back!Take care and stay warm!🔥🌌
Great video Nate, you are experiencing all the elements I try so hard to avoid. Snow,Rain,Wind I don’t care for, I can handle the heat for a short period of time but I definitely love to Chase the 70’s . I bet all them star’s look so amazing. Be safe!!
Nate did you get my text?
We are all tired of this stinking winter. In the west including Denver Colorado and New Mexico it has been constantly cold and wet unlike other years.
I thought when you picked up the golf ball you'd say "hmm, not mine." :)
lol, definitely should have done that
I’m so glad I found your channel. It is so hard to find off-grid people in NM. I have land in central NM and wanted to see what it’s like there before I move out out there. I love how you guys just jumped in 100% from FL to NM. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Nate so happy for you to get out the telascope. Perhaps you could put a coupe of pictures on tee shirts as that would be so cool. Also you could wrap in foil a sandwitch, no letuce or tomato and fix a hot one on the wood burning stove. Then add other things. Beautiful foliage around there. After the mat lays out for awhile hopefully it flatten out so the ball rolls better. Will be glad to see Shannon back as she rocks. Thanks and see you next time.
For real, love your music performance! Beautiful place. Agree with @bob outdoorz, mad skills! Do you post your music anywhere?
Love it, as always. Especially your energy when you're making music. :)
Hello Nate. I just discovered your UA-cam channel today. Welcome to New Mexico. The area you're in kind of looks like your somewhere near the town of MADRID. I live in Rio Rancho. I hope things work out well for you and Shannon.
Your night shots are really great! You might want to clear a path to the tiny house of those weeds which can really hide rattlers. I bought one of those things you just swing like a golf club to clear my place, but of course my place isn't a lot of property.
You and Brian should make a CD together. Just sayin’
Is a dog anywhere in your plans? Love those beautiful nighttime pics.❤️
Bandelier National Monument is a cool place to check out. Awesome night shots.😀
2 Step with Time Bomb interpolation, nice!
Hey Nate can you talk more about your Astro photography the kind of set up you have what’s something like that cost I find it very interesting and the photos are beautiful thanks
You kill me. Gorgeous desert scenery and you want to put a golf course in LOL. Gotta have that green that artificial green. Lol
That looks like NM
Hi Nate! I have a question ...
Are you going to trim the grass and the weeds before snake season?
Just wondering 🙂
You should buy some neon colored golf balls...
One of those thermal ventilators on top of your stove should help.
Great video
Preparing for the British Open? lol Oh speaking of opens .... like your new open as well!
great vid!🦌💌❤️🚙
Why did yall move out there instead of staying in FL?
Lotsa reasons :). We're working on a video about that, it will hopefully be ready in May some time.
You are very skillful person. You’re good at whatever you do. It’s enjoyable to see you doing your things. What is the property size?
Thank you :) It's about 20 acres
@@ElementLife wow! Good property size. I was dreaming about doing off grid in NM but I changed my mind to do it in TN. Good luck to you both, looking forward to see more of your videos. Stay actively safe and enjoy brother.
Pour concrete and top with the mat...
You should also consider getting some frisbee golf baskets (holes) and scattering around your property as holes. Much less construction needed and a lot of frisbee golf courses all over the country are free. My sister got tired of paying expensive ball golf course fees and got into frisbee golf. She was so good, she went pro and was actually ranked. Easy to bring a bag of discs with you wherever you go and you could get a lot of practice on that much land.
Have fun!
no1ukn0
did you not research how cold it gets there in the winter?
💛💛💛
Might want to try a levaling Rake?
Germany developed some golf balls that have a gps chip in them, makes it easy to find them.....
Looks like you have neighbors
What size is this?
Nate, are you doing a give away or are your subscribers getting scammed?
Seems like your time would be better spent improving the house that you have instead of spending time on that rolling trailer
🌮🍺🏴☠️
It is just a matter of time, before you realize that this type of life will not get you any where..
Only Nate can determine this. Even if he is spending a trust fund, he will still have to figure things out like the rest of us. In his last video, Adventure Van Man Brian talks about trust funds and having to work to stay ahead. Interesting how his finances work.
While I truely enjoy these videos of living with less, I have to say I disagree with the descriptive title; Off Grid. Yes, your disconnected from utility Grid, but too my belief and understanding,, if you have a vehical, you most likely need fuel. The stations are powered by the grid. If you didn't use your vehical,, you'd not have processed food or a Generator to help keep your foods stable. So,,, unfortunately, you are GRID dependant. Still all that said; you ARE grid dependant reduced. I am still trying too eliminate that need by going back too those who survived in order for ALL OF US,, to be here today. Difficult indeed, those pioneers,, they were amazing tough individuals.
But then again; like fish in a fish bowl,, they knew nothing of the spoils we now have.
PLEASE don't sing!!!!!
Please don't ever tell anyone that. He has a unique voice and some mad guitar skills.
Dang bro. That's really harsh. For the kind of style Nate is going for, his voice is just fine. People like you traumatize others for life.
Please get a taller chair you look creepy
Those night sky shots were so amazing, loved seeing them. I am looking forward to more😊🔭
Make sure you get good window coverings for all the windows. You lose a lot of heat through the glass and it will also keep it cooler in the summer. Keep up the great work!
Watching Nate being Nate 👍 Solo time can be a good thing
You have a good command of those bar chords. And you singing voice is pleasing to the ear.
Cold,windy and desert. Why live there?
Hi Nate . I love your cabin .
Probably bright orange balls would be advantageous. If it were me I’d do a frisbee golf course - but I’m looking forward to seeing your progress!
Great content Nate. What would be fun for your property is to setup a 3D Archery range. I could have a blast on a piece of property like yours shooting my compound bow. Also flying some RC aircraft out there would be fun.....
Man you can hit a ball !!
Big like 👍. Great you finally get a few nice days. The golf ⛳️ practice area is nice.
Overall great 👍video 📹. See you on the next one 😀.
.✌️👍🏻👍🏻😃😀🙏🏻. Very 😎 I remember when adventure van man Brian. Eric Nomadic fanatic. CVK Campervan KEVIN.
WOULD SHOW THE STARS 🌌 THE MOON LIGHT 🌖TIME LAPSE THE SKY 👍🏻❗ ESPECIALLY ERIC.❗👍🏻👋
I see a tractor or mower in the future for you...you are gonna need to see where to find your golf balls...plus any rattlesnakes as they will be coming out when it gets warmer! yikes! Put some moth balls out around your house and driveway, that will usually keep them at bay. If you like vino, go to Jerome, AZ...cool tasting room and cute town!
Great video! And the music, with you playing, was 👌🏾
Keep up the good work ⛳
Hope your property is not near the fires....you talked about the strong winds.
A friend who had a macadamia orchard on Hawaii Island designed a golf course right among the trees, crisscrossing here and there using a few areas as greens that were used from different directions so each pin was different that the others.
Golf in that landscape, need golf ball with GPS tag, like a pet tracker. Already invented?
Im gonna need that last song on Spotify.
I didn't realize Orion had a nebula???
What propane stove is that?
