Solar Chaos to Success! 5 Years Off-Grid & Our Biggest Lesson Yet ⚡🎤
5 Years Off-Grid: Solar Troubles, Triumphs & Celebration at Ka-Hoon Campground 🌞🎤
Today marks **five incredible years** of living off-grid on our land — October 18th, 2020! To celebrate, we’re hosting a special **Open Mic Night** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, livestreamed at **6 PM MDT** on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.
In honor of our anniversary, we’re opening the **vault** once again with **Part 2 of our 8k solar build** — a real story of challenges, lessons, and victory.
During the build, we ran into major issues when **two solar controllers stopped working**. At first, we thought we’d done something wrong, but after bringing in a **certified solar technician**, we discovered that **everything was wired correctly**.
The real culprit? The **manufacturer had wired the combiner box backwards**, which caused it to **feed back into the controllers**, burning them out! Thankfully, **Shop Solar Kits** stood behind their products, sending us a **new combiner box and controller** and even covering the **technician’s cost**.
Once everything was replaced, the system ran perfectly — finally bringing power to our **Greenroom and Music Studio**, and temporarily powering our **RV** until the 5k solar setup is complete.
This project is a reminder that **living off-grid isn’t always easy**, but every challenge makes the reward that much brighter. Come celebrate our 5-year milestone — **music, laughter, and community under the desert sky.**
🎤 **Open Mic Night – October 18th, 6 PM MDT**

First Snow in the Desert! Off-Grid Life Takes a Chilly Turn ❄️
Our First Snow on the Land – A Touch of Minnesota in the Desert
Our first snow here on the land brought back memories of Minnesota — the beauty, the quiet, and that familiar winter chill. While we don’t miss the extreme cold or the long months of snow from back home, this short visit from winter gave us a moment to pause and enjoy the peacefulness it brings.
Living off-grid in the desert, snow is rare but magical when it happens. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come — from Minnesota winters to off-grid living in New Mexico. Even when challenges arise, moments like these remind us why we love this life.
***In honor of our 5th anniversary on Saturday, October 18th, we’ll be hosting an Open Mic Night!***
Come celebrate with us — join in person, stay a few hours, camp for the night (or longer!), or tune in live on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.

Caught on Camera! Our First Off-Grid Intruder at Ka-Hoon Campground 😱
Caught on Camera: Our First Months Off-Grid and an Unexpected Visitor!
When we first moved to the desert, every day was a new challenge — and a lesson in staying prepared. During our early months at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun (Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center)**, we installed a security camera before heading into town, knowing that trips weren’t quick and our belongings were left vulnerable.
Not long after, that camera paid off. We caught a visitor on video trying to walk off with something that didn’t belong to them! Thankfully, we had chained the axles of our trailer, and it was empty at the time — that same trailer later became what we now call **The Hut**, our compost toilet.
It was one of those off-grid moments that reminds you why preparation matters. Every experience — even the tough ones — helped shape who we are today.
Now, as we celebrate **five years off-grid**, we invite you to join us for our **5th Anniversary Open Mic Night** on **Saturday, October 18th**. Come in person, stay for a night or a weekend, or tune in live from home on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok** profile.
Life off-grid isn’t always easy — but every story, every lesson, and every bit of resilience makes it worth it.

Desert Wind DESTROYS Our Shower & Kitchen — You Won’t Believe What Survived!
Desert Winds Take Out Our New Shower and Kitchen — But We Refuse to Quit!
Life off-grid isn’t always sunshine and stars — sometimes it’s high desert winds trying to blow everything down! In this vault video, the wind took out both our newly built shower and kitchen setup. Luckily, we managed to patch them up and keep things running a bit longer!
Every project teaches us something new about resilience, adaptability, and perseverance. Living off-grid at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun (Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center)** means embracing the elements and learning to rebuild stronger each time.
Join us as we celebrate **five years off-grid**! In honor of our 5th anniversary on **Saturday, October 18th**, we’re hosting an **Open Mic Night** — come out in person, camp a night (or more), or join live from home on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok** profile.
Whether it’s music, laughter, or rebuilding after the wind, we keep moving forward — desert strong!

Surviving Desert Winds: How Our Off-Grid Outdoor Kitchen & Shower Were Put to the Test!
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**.

Lost in the Desert? GPS Roads That Don’t Exist | Our Off-Grid Journey 🚧🌵
When GPS Roads Don’t Exist: Finding Our Way Off-Grid in New Mexico
Here’s another **video from the vault**! When we first started our off-grid journey, one of the biggest challenges wasn’t just the desert heat or the wind—it was simply finding our way home.
GPS showed us roads that no longer existed, leading us into dead ends, private property, and long detours. Over time, we rebuilt part of the road ourselves, carving out a path that made it easier to access our land.
It’s just one more reminder that off-grid living isn’t always simple—it’s a constant journey of adapting and creating solutions.
📅 **In honor of our 5th anniversary** on **Saturday, October 18th**, we’ll be hosting an **Open Mic Night** at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center! You can:
* Attend in person
* Stay a few hours
* Book a campsite for the night (or longer)
* Or join us live on TikTok at **Colquhoun Entertainment**
Follow along as we look back at how far we’ve come!

From Wind & Snow to Sunsets & Sandstorms | Our First Week Off-Grid in the Desert 🌵
Our First Week Off-Grid: Wind, Snow, Sand & Lessons Learned
Looking back at our very first week on the land feels like stepping into another lifetime. It was October 2020 when we first arrived, ready to begin our off-grid journey in the New Mexico desert. Within just seven days, we were faced with a learning curve like no other—**intense winds, sudden snow, endless sand, curious cattle, and even the destruction of our first outdoor kitchen setup**.
But through it all, we had unforgettable sunsets, wide-open views, and the determination to keep moving forward. Every challenge became a lesson, shaping Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center into what it is today.
Now, five years later, we’re celebrating that journey with something special:
📅 **Saturday, October 18th – 5th Anniversary Open Mic Night**
Join us in person, stay a few hours, book a campsite, or tune in live from home on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.
We’ve come a long way from those first windy, sandy days, and we’re excited to share where the journey has taken us.
