In Building Off the Grid season 3 episode 6, titled White Mountain, viewers are taken on a journey to the White Mountains of New Hampshire where a couple, Jed and Lindsay, embark on a project to build a self-sustaining homestead in the middle of the forest.
The couple is looking for a simpler way of life, where they can live off the grid and connect with nature. They have chosen a remote spot in the White Mountains where they will build a sustainable cabin that will provide them with their basic needs of shelter, water, and food.
The first challenge they face is accessing their property. They have to travel 2 miles up a narrow dirt road and then hike another mile through the woods to reach their land. It's a beautiful spot, but it's also remote and isolated, which poses many challenges for the couple.
Their plan is to build a cabin that is completely off the grid, using only natural and sustainable resources. They begin by forging trails through the woods and clearing a spot for their cabin. They opt to build a yurt-inspired roundhouse, which they feel will be easier to build with limited resources in such a remote location.
The couple uses materials they find on their land and nearby areas to build their cabin. Jed is an experienced builder, and he knows how to work with the materials he has at his disposal. They use logs and branches from the forest to build the structure of their cabin, which they call the "Round House Yurt."
Once the shell of the cabin is up, they begin the hard work of insulating and finishing the interior. They use natural fibers to insulate the cabin, which will keep them warm during the long, cold winters in the mountains.
They also plan to live off the land, growing their own vegetables and raising chickens for eggs. They build a small chicken coop and begin planting a vegetable garden. They also install a small hydroelectric generator to provide them with power.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the challenges this couple faces as they build their own home in the middle of the forest. They have to contend with harsh weather conditions, difficult terrain, and limited resources. But despite all these challenges, they remain committed to their dream, and they work tirelessly to make it a reality.
Building Off the Grid season 3 episode 6, White Mountain, is an inspiring look at what it takes to live off the grid and build a sustainable home in a remote location. Through the hard work and perseverance of this couple, viewers are reminded that anything is possible if you're willing to put in the effort.
