SO we've just acquired our new solar panels in order to upgrade our array and be more efficient, but the downside is (and isn't this true of every homestead project), it's taking way longer than we anticipated. Why is that a problem? Well, our solar panels are what generate 100% of our power on our Off-Grid Homestead. Downside? We have to be 100% all in to get this finished so we aren't running the generator all of the time (read... burning expensive fuel endlessly).

Needless to say, we're calling it on the pod this week. We can't do it all, so we're being honest.

We're paying attention to the explod-y things. If you know you know. We'll see ya next week on this channel.

Our Summer Season is almost here and we’re so pumped! We've missed our pod sessions...

Our next episode drops Thursday, December 4th, kicking off a fresh new season including some awesome guests and some thought-provoking topics we can’t wait to get into.

But before we go too far… we want to hear from YOU!

What are the big (or small) conversations about homesteading, simple living, self-sufficiency, and the world we’re all navigating that YOU think the homesteading community needs to be having right now?

Drop your ideas in the comments below - see you next Thursday!

Sorry guys, winter has caught us and we've both been (but Regan particularly) out with this awful cold virus thing that's been going around. It's nasty! So, we haven't managed to get our podcast out this week, as hard as we tried to make it happen. We'll be back next week, hopefully right as rain.

This rain is so annoying, and since we haven’t finished the front of our tiny home yet (bring on a covered area before summer), we’re improvising the podcast studio today 🤣
