Living in my 4x4 Truck in Colorado: My First Lightning Strike on Camera!

UPDATE Aug 4th, 2021 - Sierra has been diagnosed with cancer. For those interested in helping with her treatment, I've set up the following page - https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-sierra-get-her-health-back. Hey Everyone! This was rather an exciting milestone...I was able to capture a lightning strike on camera. It was WAY off in the distance so the resolution isn't the best but this is a start. In this video we experience the incoming storms and then do a quick tour of my truck camping setup for summertime weather. I'll be out of cell range until Friday, hope you all have a great few days while I'm out chasing trout!

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING

Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.

Self-sufficient homesteading means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.
