Hi there! We’re the Walkers—a family of three who took a bold leap into the unknown world of off-grid living. We’re Tyler and Sarah, and while we’ve always been drawn to alternative lifestyles and the idea of escaping the fast-paced demands of modern society, our off-grid journey officially began in 2021.
When we decided to make the move, we started by asking ourselves: What do we really need? and How can we make it work without the conveniences of endless electricity or a Home Depot just down the road?
Living in a rural area gave us a small head start—we had some experience with raising chickens, foraging for wild edibles, and basic construction skills. But off-grid living is a whole different ballgame, and we quickly realized we had a lot to learn.
We spent hundreds of hours researching. We watched videos of people building everything from outhouses to cabins, studied building foundations, and sought advice from friends and family with hands-on and professional experience. With each step, we felt a little more prepared for what lay ahead.
In 2021, we took the plunge. We listed our house for sale, donated or sold almost everything we owned, and pared down to what could fit in a 10×10 storage unit. Our dream was to find a piece of raw, untouched land where we could carve out a space that was uniquely ours—a place full of wonder and possibility.
After a lot of searching and planning, we finally found our off-grid haven. In February 2022, we officially began our new chapter, and we haven’t looked back since!
Living off-grid has been a whirlwind of challenges, growth, and unexpected joys and disappointments. From learning to adapt without the conveniences of modern life to building systems that meet our family’s needs, every day brings new lessons.
We started our journey with the hope of creating a simpler, more fulfilling life—and it’s been exactly that. Along the way, we’ve learned to embrace struggle, celebrate small victories, and see the beauty in every step of the process.
We’d love for you to follow along as we navigate the ups and downs of off-grid living. From building and growing to learning and adapting, we share it all on our YouTube channel.
Our hope is to inspire others to follow their dreams—whether that means living off-grid or simply pursuing a lifestyle you never thought possible.
Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to adventure, growth, and creating a life you love!
