Welcome to The Backyard Off-Grid Blog

 Welcome to Backyard Off-Grid. What is Backyard Off-grid you may ask. Well just imagine doomsday prepper meets backyard camper. Long story short I started a YouTube channel to document my life living in my Backyard. Living without shore power for 10 months. So Off-Grid? Yes living on generators to run a CPAP machine. Using my military and mechanical skills to survive life while my house was put on hold.

I accidentally burned down my house because of a bird-infested roof. The birds were so bad I could barely sleep. Being a full-time truck driver at the time. Six days a week 13-14 hour days. Getting sleep was a big deal.

So I took it into my own hand to extinguish the house that I accidentally burned down. Luckily I was able to get my mom and animals out of the house. The said house was a poorly remodeled house and was sitting on an illegal foundation and would have caved in on itself after 10 years. So the county condemned the house that was supposed to be remodeled till the illegal foundation was uncovered by cutting a hole in the subflooring. Angels must be watching over me right? So that's Backyard Off-Grid.

Feel free to check out the channel and like, share, and subscribe. It's based on a true story. We like camping and pizza! We also are Airbnb and Turo, hosts. Video's normally get uploaded on Thursdays. Depending on our busy schedule.  Doing anything to survive the crazy Backyard Off-Grid life. Not the best way to experience tiny home living. But with the house being built almost 3 years after the fire, it was an experience worth sharing. From living in a hotel for 2 weeks, living out of my car, living in tents, and even an RV. I know glamping in California 36 miles north of Sacramento. I got the motivation to build tiny homes. which in California they are known as man caves and she sheds for legal reasons. Not to be lived in. But simply for storage. I see it as an oversized tent made of wood. Thanks to the camping ordinance in this county. Backyard Off-Grid is a Brand protected under Oak Bar LLC.

An Airbnb Campsite may be funny to some but we don't joke about living on the streets, do we? So have a good day and let's go camping!
