Bryce and Misty paid off their debts, left the city, and have spent the last 12 years building a cob home by hand on their off-grid homestead. The house cost approximately $1,000 CAD to build using clay from their property, wood harvested within 20km of home, and secondhand windows and roofing. They live without a car, homeschool their two daughters, and produce most of their own food from a permaculture food forest, animals, and foraged crops.

Update: Hey! This sale has expired but if you’re reading this anytime before or during October 18-20, 2021 you can enjoy a rare site-wide 15% discount on Jackery solar generators, panels, and power banks. Click here to learn more.
This is a review of the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 (Portable Power Station with two 100W Solar Panels and also an announcement for their upcoming Black Friday Sale, which will be the best time to pick one up. The sale starts November 26, and ends November 30th, 2020. The E160, E240, E500, E1000, and the solar panels will all be discounted.
Jackery was kind enough to send us one of their solar generators to review which I’ve been toying with over the last week. It’s the Jackery Explorer 1000, or E1000, along with two 100W folding solar panels. This system gives you the ability to recharge your generator in as little as 8 hours, which then gives you the power for 13 laptop charges, 7 hours of refrigeration, 40 minutes of electric stove, or 76 hours of light, just for a few examples. It’s great for camping, outdoor activities, or even just to use green energy around the house in everyday life. You can use it to power your blender, juicer, power tools, and various other appliances. Something like this can also be handy for videographers, photographers, and podcasters on the go. So far, I love it. And I’m finding more and more ways to use.

This adorable skoolie conversion is home to Kai, Julie and their cat Lilu. They’re parked in Germany now (Kai’s home base) but typically travel throughout Europe.
Kai (@wetravelbybus on Instagram) is a freelance filmmaker and photographer and jumped on the bus life bandwagon to escape a life where he was working for things that he didn’t need and didn’t truly make him happy. Minimalism has served him well, and he’s been living in his bus for just about 2 years now with no regrets.
We got to do a Q&A with Kai which you can read at the end of the post. Enjoy the photo tour!
