In Building Off the Grid season 5 episode 6, viewers are taken on a journey to explore a hideout that is nestled high in the mountains. This stunning hideout is located at an altitude of 9,000 feet and is accessible only through a narrow, long and winding dirt road. The builder, an experienced outdoorsman, had always dreamt of having a cabin in the mountains. He wanted his sanctuary to be a place where he could be at peace and reconnect with nature.
The cabin has been built entirely off the grid and with no road access, it was a big challenge to get all the materials he needed to the site. In spite of the challenges, with sheer hard work, determination and expert planning, the builder managed to build everything from the ground up. He used native materials, such as stone, to construct the foundation and walls.
The highlight of this cabin is that it has a unique feature that allows it to rotate 360 degrees! This feature allows the builder to enjoy the stunning views of the mountains from every angle. The cabin has large windows on all sides, so even when he is inside, he can still enjoy the breathtaking scenery around him.
The interior of the cabin is warm and inviting, with all the necessary amenities to make the builder's stay comfortable and enjoyable. The living room features a cozy fireplace, and natural light floods in through the windows, making the space look and feel much larger than it is. The bedroom is located in the loft and has a large window that opens to a gorgeous view of the mountains.
The builder has also installed a unique water catchment system. Being off the grid, water is a scarce commodity, so he has come up with an innovative solution. His catchment system collects the rainwater and stores it in a large holding tank that is located under the cabin. He has also installed a state-of-the-art water filtration system, so the water he uses for cooking, drinking and bathing is clean and pure.
Another impressive feature of the cabin is the innovative power system. The builder has installed a combination of solar panels and a wind turbine to generate the electricity needed to power all the appliances. The power system is so efficient that the builder has never had to worry about running out of power.
To make the most of the experience of being in the mountains, the builder has built a spacious deck that juts out of the cabin. He has even constructed an outdoor bath that is located on the deck, offering him the ultimate in relaxation while he takes in the stunning views of the mountains.
The episode showcases how the builder has used his ingenuity, skills and perseverance to create his dream hideaway, high in the mountains. This cabin is a tribute to his love for the mountains and his admiration for the beauty of nature. As viewers watch the episode, they will be inspired by the builder's passion and determination to create something truly unique and special.
