LaMar's Cabin

Hey folks, I am a long time off-grid homesteader and this is my 14x14 off-grid cabin near the Uintah mountains. I live full time in the cabin and it has a kitchen, bathroom and living area downstairs and a full loft with bedroom and office upstairs. I power the cabin with a 580 watt solar and 400 watt wind turbine. I use a solar composting toilet of my own design and lots of passive solar features. Heat is a small wood stove with propane backup and an OD water heater.

I am a semi-retired teacher, writer, photographer, and adventurer and I design small off-grid cabins. My book "Ultimate Off-Grid Guide" and my videos of my cabin and systems might help people wanting to learn about off-grid homesteading from someone that has done it for a long time. They are available on my website: http://www.simplesolarhomesteading.com and https://www.youtube.com/solarcabin.

Stop by and say hi!

Small Amish Cabins
by: Linton

Interesting blog! Here are some small cabins built by the Amish in Kentucky: www.amishcabincompany.com Energy efficient cabins made in an off-grid Amish facility that fit into the small house, green building movement, using Amish craftsmanship that is well-known for quality construction. Delivered pre-built and fully assembled. With enough of a clearing above and to the sides, they can literally be taken up the side of a mountain by dozer, and off-grid solar power options are now readily available. Linton

Inspired
by: Lars H.R.

I have been looking to go off grid for some
years but my wife just couldn't see doing it.
Now I have shown her a few of your videos
& she seems way more open minded about it.
Last year we purchased 38+ acres and now
we are about to start building. Thanks for the
help and inspiration you gave my wife that this
Can be done.
What are you running on your power system
as you have it set up now? And what runs constantly?
