nice! I did this 3 years ago on 5 acres. Let me know if you need any help. First thing, I'd build an overhang off that container and frame it in and wood stove. I'm buying a hoop bender and building out 10,000 sqft of greenhouses this winter, and a few car ports with a pipe bender so I can work on my tractors and $1200 backhoe. Edit: looking at your photos, I'd yank the second shipping container with a truck or tractor over, and buy some trusses OR put some greenhouse hoops over them, and then greenhouse plastic, so between the containers you have 1200-2000 sqft of dry space. Make sure you are on the high ground. Like a greenhouse hoop on top of them. Should be less than $1 sqft. Looks like you have money though (new containers), so maybe trusses and delta rib roofs.

Awesome! Is that just your tool container and the other is your living quarters?
What do you do for fresh water?
I always like the ghosting posts, and have a lot more questions if you don't mind answering.

these two containers, were what i calculated to contain everything i
own and also be enough of living space. for water, i have access to a
water source and keep about 100 gallons reserve in 6 gallon modular-stackable jugs
ask me anything. i am willing to motivate and help any fellow MGTOW

If you want to wait and answer these later in your followup post with more detail, you can do that too. I saw what you had posted about your electrical setup with the wind/solar/batteries/controller, and about "paying dirt for dirt".
My questions are,
What area of the country are you in, how many acres did you purchase, and what was the cost per acre? How far are you from a small population center to resupply on basics?
How much were the shipping containers and where would someone (like me) get one or two for myself? How did you get them transported to your property (do 18 wheelers carry them and how did you place them)?
Do you plan to grow food and farm animals to further ghost?

Dude, for real, you gotta make a video of this. What did the shipping container cost you? Is it on your own property? Do you have climate control? How does the power work? This is an amazing looking project.

I spent time this afternoon looking at youtube videos on the use of shipping containers as homes and renewable energy, it seems that this is a scene of itself and has a pretty good following. Was also thinking of a hybrid system as, from what I've read, solar alone has some hard limits if you're being economical. Pretty impressive stuff. Are you retired at this point?
