The Desert Stalker: Life Lessons from a Cat on the Hunt
Living off-grid in the desert means learning to move with purpose—just like our desert cat. Watch as this feline stalks through the tall grass like a miniature lion, every step calculated, every rustle suspicious. Out here, even a tumbleweed can be an enemy—or a toy.
When you live off-grid, you start to see a bit of yourself in the cat: alert, patient, and maybe a little too proud after catching nothing but dust. But that’s desert life! You adapt, you hunt for what you need, and you do it with style (and maybe a flick of the tail).
So grab a cup of coffee, watch the hunt, and remember—out here, survival looks a lot like curiosity with attitude.

These Desert Dogs Took “Solar Power” Way Too Seriously! ☀️🐾 | Funny Off-Grid Moments
Desert Nap Champions — Our Dogs Perfect the Art of Sunbathing ☀️🐾
Even in the desert, life finds its rhythm — and for our furry family at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, that rhythm is *nap, stretch, repeat.*
These off-grid pups have truly mastered the art of soaking up the sun. With no stress, no schedules, and no worries, they remind us daily that sometimes the best use of solar power is a good nap.
Out here, every day is an adventure — but even adventurers need their rest. Whether it’s Vibria, Dreugan, or one of the other four-legged members of the Colquhoun crew, they always find the perfect sunny spot for a little desert downtime.
If only we humans could relax this hard! 😂
Enjoy this lighthearted moment from life off-grid and remember: *take a break, enjoy the sun, and nap like nobody’s watching.*

Fan Spins Backward Then THIS Happens?! Mysteries of the West Mesa | Caught in the Desert 🌵
Vault Video: Mysteries of the West Mesa — “Sucked Off” | What Happened That Night?
Out here in the New Mexico desert, strange things can happen when you least expect them.
One May night, while lying in bed, the box fan in our window suddenly stopped… then began spinning backward. Almost instantly, we felt a strange pressure — as if the air itself was being sucked from the room.
Our first thought was that our solar system had gone out, but everything else was still on. Then, as Brent reached for the fan, it suddenly returned to normal — running like nothing had ever happened.
Thinking it might be a tornado, we ran outside only to find a clear, starlit sky. As we stood there trying to make sense of it, a group of military helicopters appeared out of nowhere, hovering over us for several seconds before heading north, disappearing into the night.
What do you think this was? A coincidence, an environmental anomaly, or something more mysterious?
Stay tuned for more episodes of **Mysteries of the West Mesa** — and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments!

Thinking of Long-Term Off-Grid Camping? Watch This Before You Book Your Stay!
Try Before You Stay: Why We Recommend Short-Term Off-Grid Camping First
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we get asked all the time about long-term stays. While we do welcome longer bookings, we always suggest starting with a short-term visit first.
Living off-grid or camping long-term isn’t quite the same as traditional camping. Every location, setup, and community has its own rhythm — and we want you to make sure it’s the right fit before committing.
A shorter stay gives you the opportunity to adjust, test your setup, and get a feel for the land, the desert environment, and our off-grid lifestyle. Many guests who plan for months end up realizing they prefer shorter visits, while others fall in love and extend their time here.
We want your off-grid experience to be positive and comfortable — and that starts by giving yourself the space to try it first.
Book a few nights, breathe the desert air, connect with nature, and see if Ka-Hoon Campground feels like home.

This **Vault Video** takes you back to one of our favorite community events — the **Haunted Hayride** hosted right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!**
The hayride wasn’t just about spooky fun — it was about **bringing people together**. All hayride proceeds went right back into the community, helping fund **projects and improvements** that everyone could enjoy together.
Alongside the hayride, we filled the night with **live bands**, **campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**, **games**, **bonfires**, **potlucks**, and more. Every year brought something a little different — new faces, new frights, and new memories.
Whether you were here for the music, the laughter, or the screams echoing through the desert night, each Haunted Hayride was a reminder of what makes this community so special — people coming together under the stars.

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**

In honor of our **5-year anniversary on the land** — October 18th, 2020 — we’re opening the **vault** to share a special look back at one of our biggest milestones: **building our 8k solar system**.
This system currently powers our **Greenroom and Music Studio**, and for now, it’s even keeping our **RV running** until the new **5k solar system** is complete. Every panel, wire, and connection represents a step toward complete self-sufficiency and freedom in the New Mexico desert.
We’ve come a long way since our first day out here, learning to adapt, grow, and create in the off-grid life. To celebrate these five incredible years, we’re hosting an **Open Mic & Karaoke Night** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**!
🎤 **Join us Saturday, October 18th** — either **in person** under the stars or **livestreamed** on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.

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.
