Building a Life OFF-GRID & ALONE | Planting for the Future
Linnea & Akela
@linneaandakelaAbout
Welcome to Linnea & Akela — a journey of solo off-grid living, wild adventures, and doing it all myself. I built out my own DIY cabin-style van and have spent the last few years living full-time on the road with my dog, Akela. Now, I'm slowly building a dream life on 40 acres of raw desert land—one project at a time. On this channel, I share stories of van life, DIY builds, and the real day-to-day of off-grid homesteading in the high desert of Colorado. From planting a permaculture food forest to DIY projects, everything here is rooted in sustainability, simplicity, and self-sufficiency. If you're drawn to raw, real storytelling and the quiet power of doing things your own way, you're in the right place. For serious business inquires, please use the email below.

This week I planted more trees and shrubs for the food forest I’m slowly building on my 40 acres of off-grid high desert land! I’m still living full-time in my DIY van with Akela, doing all of this on my own — but this life doesn’t feel lonely. A few friends made the long trip to visit, and one brought me the most thoughtful gift: an Arkansas Black apple tree that will live on for years to come. Between building a windbreak, adding diversity for wildlife, and trying to beat the clock on planting season, it’s been a full and beautiful week on the land. If you’re into solo off-grid living, food forest design, van life, and building a life aligned with nature — you’re in the right place.
