When we moved to New Mexico, we knew challenges were ahead. Wind was one of the biggest. Before moving, we tried to plan for it, but nothing could prepare us for days of **30 mph desert winds**. Our first outdoor kitchen lasted only two months before it was ripped apart.
With no choice, we purchased what we hoped would be a stronger replacement. At the same time, we reused parts from the broken kitchen to build an **outdoor shower area**. Living off-grid means adapting and rebuilding when nature pushes back.
But will these new shelters hold up to the desert winds? Stay tuned for upcoming videos to see how our setup survived!
✨ In honor of our **5th anniversary on Saturday, October 18th**, we’re hosting an **Open Mic Night**! Come in person, camp with us, or join from home online on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.
