Welcome Back to Base Camp WNC – Starting a 4th Generation Family Homestead We’re excited to bring you along on a brand-new chapter here at Base Camp WNC as we begin building a fourth-generation family homestead in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. This project is especially close to home—one of my closest friends has a son who’s moving onto the family property, and we’re getting started with some essential infrastructure work. In the next video, we’ll be focusing on installing a fresh spring water system to supply clean running water to the house. What’s Coming Up:
Now, let’s take a quick look at this incredible springhouse. It’s built from massive hand-laid stones—some weighing over 300 pounds—with an original wooden door still intact. We believe the spring once ran through this structure, feeding into a trough system to keep milk and other perishables cool before refrigeration was available. This homestead, like many in the area, was originally built without electricity, making this springhouse an essential part of daily survival. We’re going to turn its restoration into a full video series on off-grid refrigeration and traditional homestead technology. Coming Soon:
