My husband and I just sold our 3,500+ sq foot home on acreage and are in the in-between to our next home (end of Feb closing). A friend has graciously offered for us to stay in her 200 sq foot off-grid cabin until we figure out where we want to go next. We live in Northern Canada, so it's not abnormal to have daily highs of -35 C or colder still in March. We are selling off lots of stuff and packing the belongings that we're keeping to a 40' sea can, but are trying to have just the essentials in the cabin along with an enclosed trailer for easy access to things like tools, extra clothes etc.
We have solar panels and lithium batteries, as well as a generator. The cabin has a wood stove for heat, which we are no strangers to. Water will have to be jug water, and we'll have to shower in-town or by outdoor bucket shower depending on temperatures.
A couple questions:
- What are your laundry solutions (other than laundromat)?
- Tips for living in a tiny space with a partner and a large dog?
- What are your "must haves" for off-grid/tiny living?
- What did you think you needed before off-grid/tiny living that you didn't really need
Any other helpful tips are appreciated! :)
