**Embracing the Off-Grid Life in the New Mexico Desert**
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert is a journey of resilience, adaptation, and appreciation for nature’s raw beauty. The challenges are real—relentless winds, shifting sands, and scorching sun test even the most determined. Yet, the rewards far outweigh the struggles.
The vast, open landscape offers a sense of freedom few places can match. Towering mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop, while the night sky, untouched by city lights, becomes a canvas of endless stars. Every evening, the desert transforms, revealing a peaceful, almost mystical energy that makes all the hardships worth enduring.
Each season brings its own battles—spring winds carry dust that seeps into everything, summer heat pushes limits, and winter nights can be bitterly cold. Yet, overcoming these obstacles fosters strength and self-reliance. It’s a lifestyle that demands perseverance but rewards with unmatched tranquility, deeper connections to nature, and a life free from the constraints of modern convenience.
For those seeking a simpler, more intentional way of living, the desert calls. It may not be easy, but the beauty, solitude, and self-sufficiency make it an experience like no other.

Exploring New Mexico’s Climate: From Deserts to Cold Nights – Winter Camping Tips!
Discovering New Mexico’s Climate: More Than Just Warm Deserts
When you think of the Southwest, a warm, dry desert likely comes to mind. I used to think New Mexico was all flatlands and sun-baked deserts too, but this state is surprisingly diverse. Not only do we have desert landscapes, but we also have forests, grasslands, and impressive mountains.
Even though New Mexico doesn’t reach the icy temperatures of Minnesota, the weather here can get quite cold. Just last night, we had our first freeze, which is actually later than usual for the season. As the temperatures dip, it’s a reminder to bring out the heater. We rely on an 18,000 BTU propane heater to keep our space cozy, though we don’t run it full-time, especially at night, since we prefer a cooler sleeping environment and want to be cautious with propane heating.
With smoke and CO2 detectors, and a heater that shuts off automatically if levels get too high, we take every precaution. Our routine involves running the heater as the evening cools down and again in the morning if it’s chilly. Once the sun starts to warm things up, we switch it off and let the natural warmth in.
Whether you’re planning a trip to New Mexico or thinking about winter camping in cooler desert regions, a bit of warmth at the right times makes all the difference.www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com
