Healing, Hustling, and Holding Down the Campground

Ka-Hoon Campground

Life has a way of shifting priorities, and lately, we’ve been in full-on healing and doctor appointment mode. While there’s not a ton of new progress to report here at the campground, we’re still here—showing up day by day.

Between medical visits and recovery, our hands have been full, but that doesn’t mean the campground is closed. In fact, we’re still open and welcoming campers! Projects may be moving a bit slower than usual, but we’re continuing to chip away as energy and time allow.

Sometimes, life steps in and reminds you to pause, focus on what truly matters, and give yourself grace. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us during this time—we’re still building, still dreaming, and always grateful.

Campground Shower Build Progress: Teamwork, Challenges, and Big Plans for Off-Grid Living!

Ka-Hoon Campground

Today was a huge milestone for our off-grid shower project at Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun ! We tackled the hardest part—getting the 350-gallon IBC tote lifted, aligned, and secured on top of the first one to build our campground shower system. It was definitely more than Anne and I could handle alone, but with Brent’s help (and some neighborly support), we made it happen!



Once we figured out how to lift, turn, and line up the tote, a neighbor arrived just in time to help us cut the door and anchor everything down securely. We’re so grateful for the community support—this project wouldn’t have been possible without it!



Next steps include adjusting the plastic liners, installing an additional liner piece to lock everything into place, building a door, and plumbing the water heater and shower head. We’re also planning to add a small changing area outside the shower space, with hopes of someday installing a washing machine to make off-grid life even more comfortable for our campers and ourselves.



Every step we take brings us closer to improving the campground experience here in the New Mexico desert. This off-grid DIY shower will be available for campers to use for a small fee to help cover water and propane costs.



Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building forward—one project, and one day, at a time!

Brent’s Healing, Music Magic & DIY Shower Build—Off-Grid Life Update!

Ka-Hoon Campground

We’re slowly finding our rhythm again. Brent starts physical therapy this week and is getting stronger every day! He can move his fingers a bit and tends to have the most control in the mornings. Singing has actually helped him gain a lot—music is magic like that. We truly believe he’ll be back to full strength soon. 

This weekend, Anne and I are starting the long-awaited shower build here at the campground. While Brent *says* he’s fine using the Planet Fitness showers alone, I’m just not ready for that risk while he’s still recovering. We’ve got most of what we need and water delivery lined up. Once it’s done, it’ll be available for us and campers (with a small fee to cover propane and water). 

Big thanks to everyone sending love and encouragement. We’re getting there—one day at a time.

Caught on Cam: Cows Invade Off-Grid Campground, Lick Cameras & Cause Chaos in the Desert!

Ka-Hoon Campground

The Real Moochers of the Desert: Life Off-Grid with Free-Range Cattle at Ka-Hoon Campground

Living off-grid in the deep New Mexico desert has its perks—stunning sunsets, wide-open skies, and the sweet sound of silence… until the mooing starts.

Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’re tucked away just far enough to enjoy peaceful desert life, yet still close enough to civilization to grab tacos when the craving hits. But even in this semi-remote slice of paradise, we get **invaders**—and not the alien kind. We’re talking about the **free-range cattle** who apparently think *our grass is greener*.

Last night, these rogue bovines made a stealthy entrance, clearly plotting an elaborate heist. Step one? **Take out the security system**. We caught them red-tongued—licking and blocking the cameras like seasoned pros. Step two? **Steal the grass**, leave a little *”thank you”* manure, knock over our solar lights for good measure, and give the poles a good rub while they’re at it.

It’s not your typical crime spree, but welcome to **off-grid living in New Mexico**.

Despite their sneaky antics, it’s all part of the charm out here. Life is raw, real, and sometimes full of surprises—some smelly, some solar-powered.

So if you’re dreaming of going off-grid, come prepared. You might escape the hustle of the city… but you won’t escape the cows.

**Ka-Hoon Campground**—where even the cattle want in.

From Stroke to Song: Advocatus Diaboli Sings Again Just Weeks After Life-Changing Diagnosis

Ka-Hoon Campground

**From Off-Grid Peace to Hospital Alarms: Our Stroke Survival Journey**

Two weeks ago tonight, our peaceful, off-grid life in the New Mexico desert took a sudden and frightening turn. Brent—also known as Advocatus from our band *Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band*—began experiencing facial twitching. What we initially thought was a pinched nerve quickly spiraled into something far more serious.

Just a month earlier, Brent had lost movement in his arm and hand. Urgent Care diagnosed it as a pinched nerve and recommended an orthopedic visit. We booked the appointment, unaware that something much more dangerous was brewing beneath the surface.

The night we walked into the ER, everything changed. After hearing his symptoms, the medical team rushed Brent back immediately. That’s when real fear set in. X-rays and a CT scan revealed that Brent was having a stroke—and that the symptoms in his arm had actually been from a previous stroke, likely occurring around the time we visited Urgent Care weeks earlier.

A follow-up MRI confirmed it.

During his week-long hospital stay, Brent struggled with speech, and doctors were uncertain if he’d ever be able to sing again. For a man whose life revolves around music, it was a devastating possibility. But Brent is a fighter.

He underwent surgery to repair a clogged artery in his neck. Now he’s home, slowly regaining his strength. He’s singing again—his voice may not be at full strength yet, but it’s there. His arm is still affected, but we’re seeing small signs of progress. Only time will tell how much mobility he’ll recover.

These last two weeks have been filled with fear, uncertainty, and hard adjustments—but also love, resilience, and hope. I couldn’t be more proud of Brent. We are thankful for every day, every note sung, and every small step forward.

If you’ve followed our journey or are new to it, thank you for being here. Life off-grid isn’t always easy—but it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s ours.

Stroke Survivor Sings Again: One Week Update Singing “Another Man’s Grave” by Amigo the Devil

Ka-Hoon Campground

**Two weeks ago, we were told Advocatus Diaboli  might never sing again.** 
One week ago, he sang *“Another Man’s Grave”* by Amigo The Devil —just two days after surgery. 
Today, we’re sharing a one-week update with the same song, showing just how far he’s come. 

From stroke diagnosis to surgery, to singing again—his strength, determination, and love for music have carried him through. 

**Watch the recovery. Hear the difference. Feel the hope.** 
Support local music, celebrate resilience, and be part of the journey. 

**Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** 
Live. Raw. Real.

Ka-Hoon Campground: Where the Road Is Rough but the Welcome Is Real—Find Your Place Off the Grid

Ka-Hoon Campground

Life and the journey to Ka-Hoon Campground have a lot in common—bumpy, unpredictable, and totally worth it. The roads out here in the New Mexico desert aren’t perfect (we know), but they lead to something special.

We’ve built this off-grid space for *everyone*. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, your beliefs, or your background—what matters is respect. Whether you’re seeking quiet solitude or conversations around the fire with people from all walks of life, you’re welcome here.

We’ve been called a lot of things just for being different—cult leaders, satanic, eccentric. Truth is, we just like strange art, cool oddities, and having an open mind. Our library has books on all kinds of beliefs, not to worship, but to learn.

If that bothers you, that’s okay. But don’t judge what you haven’t taken the time to understand.

We’re just us. Off-grid, real, and always welcoming to those who respect others and embrace the journey—even the rough roads.

Grateful Mornings and Healing Moments at Ka-Hoon Campground

Ka-Hoon Campground


As I sip my morning coffee and watch the desert sunrise, my heart is full of gratitude. This past week has tested us in ways we never expected—but it’s also reminded us how blessed we are.

While we were at the hospital, our amazing Ka-Hoon community stepped up in big ways. Campers took charge, welcoming new arrivals with kindness and care. My oldest brother helped bring Bryandt home so he could be by his dad’s side. Neighbors made sure Anne got to and from work safely and checked in on things at camp.

And the best news? Brent is home. He’s regaining strength every day. He’s starting to move his fingers again… and yes, *he can sing!* The healing journey isn’t over, but each day brings progress and hope.

To all of you who’ve supported us—thank you. From our family to yours, we’re so grateful to share this space and this journey with such an incredible community.

Just 2 Days After Stroke Surgery… He Sings Again – You Won’t Believe This Comeback!

Ka-Hoon Campground

Rising from the Ashes – A Week of Strength, Music, and Miracles**

This past week has been one of the hardest we’ve ever faced here at Ka-Hoon Campground & Colquhoun Entertainment. On Monday, our own Advocatus Diaboli suffered a subcortical stroke—unexpected, frightening, and life-altering. The days that followed were filled with uncertainty, hospital visits, and prayer. By Friday, he was in surgery to repair the artery causing the damage. 

Doctors weren’t sure what the outcome would be. They even warned us he might not be able to sing again. But if you know Advocatus Diaboli, you know he doesn’t give up easily.

Just two days after surgery, he defied the odds—he sang again. Not at full strength yet, but close. And if you watch the video, you’ll see the fire is still there. 

This isn’t just a story about music—it’s about grit, healing, and the power of community. We’re beyond grateful for those who’ve stood by us, sent love, and kept the music alive. 

The desert can be quiet, but strength grows in the silence. We’re still here, still singing.

Taking a Moment: Life Happens, But the Desert Still Calls**

Ka-Hoon Campground

We know it’s been quiet on our end lately, and we haven’t been active on social media. Life threw us a curveball with a recent medical emergency, and we’ve had to step back to focus on healing and family. We appreciate your understanding and support more than words can express.

Unfortunately, this means we’ll be canceling the **Open Mic Night** scheduled for this coming **Saturday**. We hope to bring it back soon, stronger and better than ever.

In the meantime, **camping at Ka-Hoon Campground is still open**, and we welcome all who are looking for a peaceful New Mexico getaway. Whether you need a weekend to reset or just want to enjoy the quiet desert skies, our little corner of the world is still here for you.

Thanks again for your patience and continued support. We’ll see you soon—under the stars.
