There’s a difference between an off grid set up and this. Living off grid can just mean well, septic, solar. This is trying to tent camp through the winter. Not smart.

Honestly, you can even tent camp through winter. Just use, idk, a winter tent, maybe, and not a sad lean-to you built in summer? It's tragic, all around.
Where I'm from at least, winter tent camping is actually a pretty common activity. And the weather definitely doesn't stop long term tent-based settlements from cropping up either (see: Purple Hills near Durango, CO, which lasted about four years)
Likewise. A winter (4-season) tent won’t collapse under a snow load. It also won’t keep you from starving in the wilderness. As food went, they found one package of ramen among them.
Sad story. But it doesn’t sound like the tent containing the two bodies was the issue is all.
Yeah the whole van life vagabond stuff gets overly romanticized. I live in a tent/car for a summer and the couple times I got a room at the super 8 felt sooo nice!
Lol. The reason I watch with avid fascination has everything to do w/a fafo situation by someone who had a completely romanticized view of both this and tiny house off grid living. Definitely did a fafo. And I sat back to lmao.
Same. The fam and I travel full time and just got back "home" from five weeks of car/tent camping. It's basically being homeless by choice, which is a very weird realization. Couldn't do it without an extended family to rely on.

In the middle of nowhere without a stockpile of food on hand… not so much.
