The LOTS Project Morning Show

In episode 862 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, Brian dives into roadwork progress, a new biochar barrel build, and straight talk on the SNAP funding saga. Plus: quick notes on Netflix’s Trainwreck docuseries, firing up the Cubic Mini for the season, and what’s next on the property.

Brian closes out October with a pragmatic pivot on the cabin build: muddy roads, house-wrap check, and clearing a new ground-mount solar field while mapping the balance-of-system parts and a booster-pump water setup. Then it’s a look at 3I/ATLAS as it nears perihelion—sorting signal from noise—and a thought-experiment on a SNAP/EBT shutdown and what that could mean for everyday life. All with a hot cup of Food Forest Farms’ Survivors Blend (Aces & Eights).

In this episode of The LOTS Project Morning Show, Brian shares more progress on the off-grid cabin build and takes listeners through the full journey that led here — from suburban homeownership, to building a Minnesota homestead, to years of full-time RV living, and now breaking ground on a Tennessee off-grid property.

You’ll hear about lessons learned through each phase, the challenges of cold-climate farming, adapting to simpler systems, and what it really takes to build a life rooted in independence and purpose.
