5 Years as a 4x4 Nomad: How I've Completely Changed From The Person I Once Was...

Hey Everyone! I hope your week is going good. On July 5th, 2020 I entered my 6th year of living in my 4x4 truck full-time. I want to do a video explaining how I've changed as an individual from this experience. It's been much more profound than I could have ever anticipated. I hope you all enjoy this honest video about the person I used to be and the person I've become. Thanks for watching ~ Brian

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 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.
