A photograph of my rain water collection system. A plastic 50 gallon drum, a pitcher pump, 5' x 8' tarp and a vanity drain.

 I use the collected water for cooking, drinking and showering.

The Urban Covered Wagon gets a new name.

I am renaming the Urban Covered Wagon, the new name will be The GeoPod. I am posting a picture of The GeoPod parked by the Santa Fe River, out of sight and out of mind.

The Urban Covered Wagon.

I am not sure how big a true pioneer's covered wagon was, but my urban covered wagon is 4'wide by 8' long and 4' high. It is durable and highly energy efficient. I built it out of structural insulated panels. I will post a few pictures this later today.

My definition of an Urban Pioneer.

For the intents of this blog, an Urban Pioneer is a person who lives off grid, with an ability to remain mobile.
