Author name: Cole Harmon

Cole Harmon has spent the better part of a decade building and maintaining an off-grid property in rural Oregon. He's tested solar generators, water filtration systems, and emergency gear through real PNW winters — not in a lab, but in a cabin where the power actually goes out. He writes about what works, what doesn't, and what he wishes he'd known before spending the money.
