If you have been circling the idea of going off-grid but keep stalling out on the practical stuff — how many solar panels you actually need, what happens to the sewage, whether that $4,000 backyard shed could legally become a house — there is a weekend in Middle Georgia built specifically to answer those questions in person.
The United Tiny House Association and Beloved Cabin Homestead run a series of three-day Off-Grid Workshop Camps on a 16-acre homestead outside Eatonton, Georgia. Three sessions remain on the 2026 calendar, and registration is capped tightly enough that they tend to fill.

Built in 2015, the Atlas features a striking design on a steel tube frame with light-gauge steel construction, making it exceptionally durable while keeping the weight manageable at 11,000 lbs on an 8′ x 18′ trailer.

Jack set out with a clear goal: build a tiny house on wheels as the foundation for a fully off-grid, self-sustaining homestead in Colorado. After three years of hands-on work and a total budget of just $22,000, the result is an inspiring DIY THOW that proves you don’t need a fortune to create a beautiful home.
From the beetle kill pine walls to the cedar-lined shower, every detail reflects Jack’s dedication to craftsmanship on a budget. His design choices — an instant hot water heater, a deep farmhouse sink, a mini woodstove, and a sleek shed-style roof — show that practical can also be beautiful.
