Living Off Grid
The first steps to living off grid will hit you hardest but be very light on your wallet (or purse). Time, dedication, and work are all important factors in living off the grid for an extended period of time.
Get started with a complete instruction guide if you are clueless as to how to live off grid. Manuals like Earth4Energy show how to make renewable energy with solar and wind power generators with full color photos on how to build what you need. You can harness the power of the internet by using eBay to find dirt cheap materials for making these systems instead of the alternative in finding a supplier and paying full price for them.
Home
Your home for living off grid may be a full on regular house. It may be a tent, a cabin, pre-made sustainable house, or a modular home modded to fit the environment. Your snail shell doesn’t matter all that much provided you are using it to your advantage. Consider looking into off grid ready homes for purchase, or if you are a DIY’er, look at buying some cabin plans and do the work yourself.
Energy
Energy is the reason we are all moving off grid - to escape the power circuit everyone else is plugged into. We can save money by using what we have around us. Earth4Energy gives some useful free tips on how to make the best of objects around the house for harnessing free energy.
Food
Many off grid homesteaders have found it responsible to grow their own food or support the local farms around them. It is easy to do the same. If you are living off grid, chances are you are in an area with available farmer’s markets for produce. It is also an idea to start a chicken coop and make a supplementary income selling eggs and chicken meat at local markets. If chickens aren’t to your taste, try beekeeping.
Work Is The Answer To Off Grid Living
There is only one way to go about living off grid – it’s called hardwork. It isn’t an easy life, but compared to daily stresses in the city it can be a welcomed life for some.
