Introduction

Imagine being able to live solely off the land, relying on nothing but your own hard work. It’s a life completely free from debt, consumerism, and resource consumption—the ability to live a sustainable, ecologically friendly life. Does it sound impossible? Not anymore!

Recent technological advancements and an overwhelming wealth of information have made it easier than ever before to live off the grid, in a sustainable and independent lifestyle. Nowadays, you need not sacrifice comfort or security to life off the grid; in fact, there’s very little reason anyone should rely so completely on an already overburdened infrastructure.

People decide to live off the grid for many different, and equally valid, reasons. Resource consumption is one of the best reasons to live off the grid. Living sustainably means taking full advantage of the renewable resources at your disposal; no longer depending on expensive and polluting fossil fuels, an off the grid home can utilize the free and limitless power of the wind, sun, or water to power homes and electric devices. Salesman often says these power stations pay for themselves, and it’s completely true. After initial set-up costs, the power you get every day is without cost to you.

That financial freedom is another big reason to consider a life off the grid. You no longer have to pay the same monthly bills you do at a regular home. With no gas bills, no electric bills, and no water bills, you’re free to invest your money elsewhere. It’s a truly independent life!

For those who deem an off the grid lifestyle a valid choice, you’ll notice varying levels of commitment. Don’t feel as though living off the grid requires a countryside lot, a hand-built house, and a solar farm. This book is designed to benefit people of all commitment
