Staying warm off grid during the winter.

Off Grid Behaviors

A thousand downloads later, we’re celebrating with hard-won lessons from real winter nights: the kind where a warm sleeping bag meets a 3 a.m. bathroom run and you learn exactly how much planning matters. This is a field guide for staying warm, safe, and sane when the temperature dips and the adventure calls anyway.
We dig into what actually keeps you comfortable off-grid—how to taper fluids and set up a bathroom plan so you don’t shiver in the dark, why sleeping bag “comfort” versus “limit” ratings are not the same thing, and how a good pad can matter more than a pricey bag. I share the gear that works without the hype, from outlet steals to thrifted finds, and break down smart layering with modern fabrics and reflective liners that beat bulky “puffer logic.” If you’ve ever tried to sleep at 6'4" in a cramped rig, you’ll hear practical tips for matching sleep systems to your body and your climate.
Heat is power, but also risk. We walk through kerosene, propane, diesel heaters, wood stoves, and electric options, with straight talk on ventilation, carbon monoxide alarms, and fire readiness. Then we get into builds: insulating an enclosed trailer with rigid foam, sealing drafts, and designing a modular layout when your space has to pull double duty with an ATV. Along the way, a cross-country Navy road story reminds us why it’s smarter to nap at a rest stop than push through fatigue, and a polar plunge tradition connects cold exposure to resilience, family, and purpose.
If you’re heading into colder months with a tent, a trailer, or an overlanding rig, you’ll come away with tactics you can use tonight and choices you can make this weekend. Join me, share your favorite cold-weather hacks, and help this community get better, safer, and more comfortable together. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—it keeps the caravan rolling.
