Living off-grid isn’t just solar panels and pretty sunsets — it’s real life, real challenges, and real community.
Every morning between 11 AM – 12 PM MST, join Off-Grid Talk streaming LIVE on TikTok (Colquhoun Entertainment). Hosted by Melodious & Advocatus Diaboli, this is a relaxed coffee-and-conversation livestream where anyone can ask questions, share experiences, or just hang out.
We broadcast from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center (Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC) — a working off-grid desert homestead. You’ll see:
Solar power life
Water hauling reality
Tiny living
RV living
Homesteading struggles & wins
Daily off-grid routines
Behind-the-scenes campground life
You’ll also meet the Colquhoun pups, talk with real people living this lifestyle, and get honest answers — not influencer fantasy.
Whether you want to live off-grid, are already doing it, or just curious… you’re welcome.
Join us TONIGHT at 5 PM MST for Music in the Desert, streaming live from the New Mexico desert at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun.
Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious, this isn’t your typical livestream. Expect original music, wild covers, and a little desert chaos thrown in for flavor. You’ll also catch our Offgrid Talk, chats about off-grid living, and a peek at life at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center.
Watch live on YouTube and TikTok via Colquhoun Entertainment, and join a community of people who love desert vibes, music, and spontaneous adventure.
Whether you’re here for the music, the off-grid stories, or the chaos that follows the dogs, there’s something for everyone.
Don’t miss it — 5 PM MST!
“Watch live weekly from Plateau Hame de Colquhoun in New Mexico — Music in the Desert hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious”
Today at NOON MST, step away from the fluorescent lights, emails, and reheated leftovers and join us for a relaxed mid-day livestream — Off-Grid Talk with Melodious.
Broadcasting straight from the New Mexico desert at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, this isn’t a podcast, and it isn’t a lecture. It’s more like sitting outside with friends while solar panels hum, coffee brews, and dogs supervise absolutely everything.
We’ll be talking about: • real off-grid living • solar life and daily challenges • RV and desert living • weird stories from the middle of nowhere • whatever the dogs decide is important
Bring your lunch. Bring your coffee. Or just bring your need to mentally escape work for a little while.
If you’ve watched our latest video, you probably heard the question we get constantly:
“Why does a campground need a membership?”
Fair question.
Most campgrounds are designed for temporary stays. You pull in, set up, stay a few days, and then move along. You might wave to your neighbors… but by the time you learn their name, they’re already packing up.
We realized something.
We weren’t trying to create a place people visit. We were trying to create a place people belong.
At Ka-Hoon Campground – Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we kept meeting incredible travelers, off-gridders, artists, musicians, and people looking for a quieter life. But the structure of a normal campground meant they had to leave just when friendships started forming.
So we changed the model.
What the Membership Actually Is
The membership isn’t a resort pass. It isn’t a timeshare. It isn’t an HOA.
It’s simply how we keep a stable community instead of a revolving parking lot.
Instead of strict campground policies, our philosophy is simple:
Respect is the rule.
We don’t want a place full of paperwork and enforcement — we want a place where people naturally look out for each other, share skills, and create something together.
What Makes It Different
Our members aren’t just campers. They become part of daily life here.
People garden. People build projects. People share meals. People play music. People host events.
We host regular activities including:
People build projects.
People share meals.
People play music.
People host events.
We host regular activities including:
Music in the Desert live shows
Karaoke nights
Movies and gatherings
Seasonal events
Some members stay a short time. Some stay much longer.
The goal was never to build a campground. The goal was to build a community where people can slow down and live differently.
Who It’s For
This place tends to attract:
Off-grid and solar living enthusiasts
RV and van lifers
Tiny home travelers
Creatives and makers
People escaping strict HOA living
Anyone wanting a quieter, more intentional environment
It’s not luxury camping. It’s not a party resort. It’s a shared space built on mutual respect.
Why We Made the Video
Because the word “membership” confuses people.
It sounds formal — but the reality is the opposite. The membership simply allows us to know who is here, keep the environment safe, and maintain a few real community members rather than alway constantly changing campground.
If you’re looking for a place to just park , we offer multiple platforms to book through
If you’re looking for a place to settle for a while and meet people who actually know your name — you probably understand immediately.
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.
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*
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.
🎶 Music in the Desert Tonight | Live at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center
When the sun drops over the desert and the air starts to cool, something special happens out here. **Music in the Desert** isn’t just a show — it’s a gathering, a vibe, and a reminder that art thrives even in the most unexpected places.
Tonight at **5 PM MST**, join us live on **YouTube and TikTok via Colquhoun Entertainment** for another unforgettable **Music in the Desert** show, hosted by **Advocatus Diaboli** and **Melodious**.
Expect a night filled with **music, laughter, playful chaos, and genuine fun** — the kind that only happens when creativity meets the open desert sky.

🌞 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.

🌵 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.
