    About this ebook

    Buying an inexpensive piece of land and building a comfortable, sustainable
    off-grid home is becoming a popular new way to pursue the American dream.
    This is a project that can be tailored to every budget, and can incorporate as
    many (or as few) of the conveniences of modern technology as one desires.
    The security of knowing you have a fully provisioned, eco-friendly retreat
    powered by renewable energy sources will help you sleep better after
    watching the 11:00 news.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      It is possible to live a comfortable lifestyle residing in the convenience of modern accommodations without being dependent upon utility companies and government services. Situating yourself into a completely self-reliant existence has affectionately become known as living off the grid. That terminology, however, is a bit misleading. Most people who are interested in self-sufficient living are not trying to hide from anybody. They simply see advantages to this type of life, which might include:

      • Preparation for an economic collapse of society

      • Living in a scenic, rural area of their choice

      • Fulfilling a desire for returning to an era of simpler living

      • Escaping modern society, seeking seclusion

      • Ending utility bills and dependence on public works

      • A fun project for someone with too much money/time

      ...among others. For some, the necessity of establishing living quarters in a rural area that is not accessible by normal services forces the issue (for example, building a fishing or hunting cabin on a specific piece of land). For others, off-grid living has simply become a way of life. After the Grateful Dead stopped touring, they realized they would need to buy a cheap lot somewhere to park their bus on, and consequently needed appropriate ways to handle waste management and power the falafel grill. Still others think the battle of Armageddon will be fought in Montana or something, and are building a self-sufficient compound with more rounds of ammunition stored than some small countries have.

      Whatever your personal reasons, you are not alone. Going off the grid is starting to become downright trendy. There is just something about providing yourself with your own food and water that nurtures the American spirit. Cooking dinner in a modern-style kitchen and then watching a movie afterwards on a big home-theatre system, with no utility bill to have to pay for it afterwards, somehow makes one feel more in touch with nature. Home-schooling is more meaningful when gym class includes toting a shotgun into the brush for a grouse hunt.

      Let’s face it - with all the cool technological perks modern society offers, it also leaves a person feeling empty at times. We can begin to suspect that life has gotten out
