Off-Grid Living: A New Mexico Resident's Unique Preparations Before Travel
An off-grid resident in New Mexico recently shared insights into her unique lifestyle as she prepared to leave her "earthship" home for a trip. The resident, who relies solely on rain catchment and snowmelt for her water supply, demonstrated her routine for ensuring her plants and local feral horses have sufficient water during her absence. She explained the process of "drowning" her indoor plants to sustain them in the high desert climate and detailed how she uses a pump connected to underground cisterns to fill a large trough for the horses, which depend on her as a water source. Beyond water management, the resident also showcased her commitment to maintaining her sustainable home, completing household chores and even preparing a quick recipe before departing. Her journey concluded with a trip to the airport, bound for Austin, Texas, to attend a concert.
