    What are the essentials you’ll need to begin an off-the-grid lifestyle, and how do you get started? This practical how-to guide considers all aspects of remote living, including site selection and the creation of your own utilities. Investment and ongoing costs of backwoods living are evaluated, based on the building-block approach to solar power and other readily-available technologies. This book is designed for those who seek an extensive evaluation of basic remote lifestyles and a realistic approach to getting started.
