open mic night new mexico – Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

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**.

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.
