The idea of finding a piece of cheap land out in the boonies and setting up a used travel trailer to call home, became planted in my head after reading the book “Travel-Trailer Homesteading Under $5,000”, by Brian Kelling. This little book is a must have for anyone planning to do this. A lot of my ideas came after reading this book and I never could seem to shake the idea from my head. It seemed like the perfect plan for me.

How managed to break free of dept and the need for a full time job? I downsized my plans and life. I don't need a lot of crap. I found my two acres of land out past the power lines on the edge of an old strip pit for $2,000 bucks, parked a 26 foot travel trailer on it, bought a small generator, three solar panels mounted on a movable frame (so I can keep the panels facing the sun), and two 40 gallon propane tanks, meet all my needs for power and cooking.
