    Putting a solar panels by trees are a big mistake. Tree falls and there goes your solar.

    I might have missed an episode or two, but it occurred to me as you talked about growing and harvesting your own food, it occurred to me that your log cabin you couldn't live in, might serve as a great pantry storage for home canned goods and maybe you could even set up your whole food preservation operation in there. Canning, freeze drying, and dehydrating. So many options to enhance your food security. It would likely need some heating and a/c as preserved food should have a cooler, darker place. But it doesn't have to be too extreme. That could be super helpful for you over the long run!

      Thank you :) That is actually something we have talked about and have considered! It may be a perfect building for it. Once we have the power set up in there we will have a better idea of what it will be. Right now it is a storage shed haha

    Invest in some 3/8 cable with hooks on each end, 50' to 100' long (your choice since you know what would work for you) and a snatch block. You'll double the pulling capacity of your winch or ATV.

    Buy yourself an ereader. Kobo has one for under $60. Then get a library card from the local library, and you can check out books with your ereader. You never have to buy a book again and you can check out your books and return them when you are finished from right there at home I do that all the time. I love your videos and wish you well in accomplishing all the goals you set.

    Too live off grid independently is nice. I also have some land but I can't live on it. I used as camping camp and hunting for relaxation. What I wonder is that when we still young and have energy to do thing ourselves we want to live alone of civilization to sustain ourselves and don't like to work in the job. But what is when we are old and couldn't do anything. We couldn't get social security and medical. When we get old, we will need a lot medical attention and it cost a lot. We couldn't afford to handle the cost. I would like to work until I retired to move out to live off Grib so I should still have the income and money to cover me.

I know now that I don't have to move to Arizona, Oregon, OR Alaska, to find that simpler life. I am excited about your adventures. AND I appreciate the correct pronunciation of Chattanooga (lived here for 40 years now) I am a fan for now on!! And Happy 2024🎉!

I just visited my brother in Hiawassee, GA and visited some high elevations there. It was extremely windy. I could imagine it being more bitter.
