YouTuber Iker moves family to off‑grid mountain chalet

Spanish YouTuber Iker, known as Basquecraft, left urban life to live with his family in a stone chalet high in the mountains. The remote dwelling is not connected to the electrical grid, so the household relies on a portable solar‑panel system that provides up to 3 kWh of power. Iker estimates the setup saves about €236 per year, allowing him to offset the initial €1,699 investment over roughly eight years.

Iker shares his off‑grid experience on his YouTube channel, which has more than 764,000 subscribers, offering tips on self‑sufficiency, survival, and DIY projects. The move reflects a broader post‑COVID‑19 trend of people seeking simpler, autonomous lifestyles away from densely connected cities.
