A Solar-Powered Show From the Middle of the Desert — Music in the Desert Goes Live Today

Today we’re going live again with *Music in the Desert*, a weekly solar-powered broadcast from our off-grid homestead in the New Mexico desert. No venue, no grid power — just sunlight, batteries, storytelling, and music.

Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli & Melodious, the show blends singing, parody songs, originals, covers, and unexpected moments that only happen when you’re broadcasting from the middle of nowhere. Sometimes wildlife even wanders past the cameras.

We stream free so anyone can watch from home.

Security Camera Caught a Mysterious Desert Animal at Our Off-Grid Campground Last Night

A Quiet Visitor Passed Through the Campground Last Night

One of the things about living off-grid is you eventually realize…

We’re not the only ones who live here.

Last night our security cameras recorded a small nighttime visitor calmly wandering through the campground. No panic, no mess, no interest in anything we had — just a peaceful stroll across the property like it had somewhere important to be.

From the shape, ears, and long tail, it *looks* like it may be a fox — but we aren’t wildlife experts. If anyone familiar with desert animals recognizes the species, feel free to let us know what you think.

Whatever it was, the little traveler appeared healthy, relaxed, and completely at home in the desert.

Honestly… probably one of the most polite guests we’ve ever had.



Sharing Space With the Real Residents

People sometimes imagine desert living as empty.

It isn’t.

It’s just quieter — and the neighbors don’t knock.

We see tracks in the mornings, hear distant calls at night, and every once in a while the cameras show us who actually lives here full-time. Moments like this are a reminder that we didn’t create this place. We simply settled into it.

We don’t chase wildlife.
We don’t feed wildlife.
We don’t disturb wildlife.

We just observe and respect.

Out here, coexistence matters more than ownership.



The Desert and the Music

Experiences like this are part of why we created **Music in the Desert** in the first place.
The land, the stillness, the stars, and the unexpected moments all shape the atmosphere of what we do.

Sometimes the audience is people listening to the music.

Sometimes… it’s whoever quietly passes through under the night sky.

**Music in the Desert** is hosted by:
🎙 *Advocatus Diaboli*
🎶 *Melodious*

Our Dogs Explain the Stress of Off-Grid Life at Ka-Hoon Campground 🌵🐾

Life Is Tough at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center (According to the Dogs)

If you ask our dogs, life at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** is incredibly demanding. Not because of danger, weather, or off-grid living — but because someone has to supervise *everything*.

Welcome to relaxed desert life at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, where the biggest challenges involve lounging, watching humans work, and staring intensely at objects that may or may not move.

Living off-grid in central New Mexico has taught us that stress looks different out here. While humans juggle projects, events, and creative work through **Colquhoun Entertainment**, the dogs remain hyper-focused on their self-appointed roles: protector of nothing, rebellious observer, proper overseer, and professional fetch enthusiast.

This balance of calm, creativity, and humor is what makes **Ka-Hoon Campground** special. From hosting **Music in the Desert** to building community through off-grid living, we believe life doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful.

The dogs agree — as long as they’re included in every decision.

Whether you’re here for camping, events at **Ka-Hoon Event Center**, or just a glimpse into an off-grid lifestyle filled with personality, this is what desert living really looks like: grounded, creative, and just a little sarcastic.

Hauling 800lbs of Batteries Off-Grid 🌞 Desert Solar Build to Power Our Music Studio

🌞 Off-Grid Progress: Building a New Solar Setup the Hard Way (But the Right Way)

Off-grid life doesn’t always come with easy solutions — especially when multiple trips to town still don’t get you what you need. After many runs trying to find the right parts, we realized it was time to stop chasing missing pieces and **build what we could with what we had**.

So we brainstormed, regrouped, and got to work.

The solar panels are now **assembled, standing, and securely spiked down**. That alone felt like a win. The next step, however, is no small task: **moving eight 100-pound batteries nearly 200 feet**, getting them set in place, wired correctly, and fully integrated into the system. Once that’s done, we’ll have **another fully functioning solar setup**.

This additional system will allow us to take some of the load off the **Music Studio solar**, which is huge for us. During long winter nights in the New Mexico desert, studio time becomes limited. Without sun, we don’t create power — and creativity doesn’t always stick to daylight hours. This setup should finally allow us to **work later into the night**, even when the sun sets early.



🔋 Why This Solar Setup Matters

At **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, off-grid living is a constant balance of power management, planning, and adaptation. We’ve reconfigured this solar system **many times**, trying different approaches, but nothing else fell into place the way this did. Sometimes the “right” solution only becomes clear after everything else fails.

That’s the reality of off-grid life — trial, error, and persistence.



🔨 What’s Next on the Project List?

That’s still up in the air.

We may finally put the **flooring down in the Greenroom**, since we now have everything needed to do it. Other projects are on the list as well, but those will require time, planning, and saving funds — another familiar rhythm of off-grid living.

There’s always something to fix, build, or improve out here. And honestly? That’s part of what keeps it rewarding.


🎶 Powered by Music and the Sun

This project isn’t just about power — it’s about **supporting creativity**. Music is a huge part of life here, and the soundtrack to this video is **“Skally Wag” by Advocatus Diaboli**, bringing the perfect energy to another day of building, hauling, and problem-solving.

We Ditched the Grid in the Desert 🌵 Real Off-Grid Life, Power Struggles & Freedom | LIVE 11AM MST

🌵 Off-Grid Talk Today at 11 AM MST – Real Life, Real Desert, Real Resilience

Living off-grid isn’t about perfection — it’s about **adaptation, creativity, and resilience**, especially when you’re doing it in the New Mexico desert. Today at **11:00 AM MST**, we’re hosting our **Off-Grid Talk** live, sharing real experiences from daily life at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**.

Normally this talk happens earlier, but today we’ve shifted to **11 AM** due to other live activities happening on the homestead. Off-grid life teaches flexibility — and this is a perfect example of that in action.

🔋 What We’ll Be Talking About

This isn’t a glossy, influencer version of off-grid living. This is the **real deal**:

* Power management in extreme desert conditions
* Living comfortably without hookups
* Building community while living independently
* Lessons learned from failures (because there are plenty)
* How music, creativity, and nature keep us grounded

From **Music in the Desert** to daily life with the dogs, the studio, and the land itself — off-grid living here is a blend of grit, humor, and freedom.

🏜️ Why Off-Grid Works for Us

At **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, off-grid living isn’t about isolation. It’s about **intentional living**, mutual respect, and creating a space where people can be themselves without judgment.

Some days the desert is calm and peaceful. Other days it reminds you who’s really in charge. Either way, we show up, adapt, and keep moving forward — and that’s exactly what today’s talk is about.

### 🎶 More Than Just Power and Solar

Off-grid life here also means:

* Live music and creative expression
* Community gatherings at Ka-Hoon Campground
* Advocatus Diaboli & the Grim Leafer Band
* Conversations that matter

Because surviving off-grid is one thing — **living fully off-grid is another**.

📍 **Join us live today at 11:00 AM MST**
Whether you’re curious about off-grid life, already living it, or just need a reminder that resilience can be joyful — you’re welcome here.

Freedom, creativity, and the desert way of life… powered by the sun and a lot of determination.

Desert Resilience | Off-Grid Life, Dogs, Music & Freedom at Ka-Hoon Campground

🌵 Resilient in the Desert: Life, Laughter, and Living Off-Grid at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

Living in the New Mexico desert isn’t easy—and that’s exactly why we love it.

At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, off-grid life is a daily lesson in resilience, adaptability, and humor. The sun is intense, the wind has opinions, and nature does not care about schedules. Yet somehow, between solar panels, dirt roads, music, and dogs underfoot, a deep sense of peace and purpose grows.

Desert living teaches you quickly that resilience isn’t about toughness alone—it’s about learning when to laugh, when to slow down, and when to simply roll with whatever the desert throws your way.

Being off-grid means solving problems creatively. Power comes from the sun, not a switch. Plans change with the weather. Convenience is replaced with intention. And while it can be challenging, it’s also incredibly grounding. Life feels real out here—raw, honest, and stripped of unnecessary noise.

Our **Offgrid Talk** grew naturally from this lifestyle. It’s not about pretending we have all the answers—it’s about sharing real conversations, real struggles, and real wins that come with choosing a different way of living. Some mornings it’s reflective, some mornings it’s humorous, and some mornings it’s simply about surviving the desert with coffee and determination.

Then there’s **Music in the Desert**—because resilience also needs joy. Music echoes differently out here, carried by open skies and wide horizons. It brings people together, reminds us to celebrate, and proves that creativity thrives even in the harshest environments.

And of course, no desert homestead story is complete without dogs. They don’t care about heat, dust, or broken plans. They play hard, rest harder, and remind us daily that balance matters. Their pack mentality mirrors off-grid life perfectly—different personalities, different energy levels, all coexisting and adapting together.

Living in the desert teaches you to be flexible, resourceful, and humble. It teaches you that resilience isn’t loud or dramatic—it’s built quietly, day by day, through persistence, humor, and community.

At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, resilience isn’t just a concept. It’s a lifestyle. And while the desert may test you, it also gives back clarity, connection, and a freedom that’s hard to find anywhere else.

If you can laugh when the wind knocks things over, adapt when plans fall apart, and find joy under endless skies—you just might be desert-resilient too.

We Had to Redesign Our Entire 5K Solar Build at the Last Minute

🔆 Another Day Building Our 5K Off-Grid Solar System

Building off-grid infrastructure is never as simple as it looks on paper — and today was a perfect example of that.

We spent another long day working on our **5K solar power system**, a critical part of keeping our off-grid campground and event space running sustainably. While we were excited to finally get everything installed, the process came with an unexpected challenge right out of the gate.

The frame that was purchased with the solar panels turned out to be **missing several major components**, parts that were essential to assembling the system safely and correctly. Unfortunately, replacements for those components weren’t available anywhere, which meant we had no choice but to **redesign the entire setup from scratch**.

Redesigning a solar system mid-build isn’t ideal, but off-grid life teaches you flexibility fast. After reassessing the structure, sourcing alternative parts, and adjusting the layout, we were finally able to move forward.

By the end of the day — just before the sun dipped below the horizon — we successfully completed **one full solar unit and got it installed into place**. Seeing it standing and ready was a huge win after the setbacks earlier in the day.

Every step like this brings us closer to a stronger, more reliable **off-grid solar power system**, helping us reduce reliance on generators and keep our desert operation running efficiently. Progress may not always be fast, but it’s always worth it.

Stay tuned — there’s much more solar work ahead as we continue building a resilient, sustainable future off-grid.
