Description
Leave the chaos of city life for a true feeling of independence and self-sufficiency.
Are you getting increasingly dissatisfied and disillusioned with the nonstop daily grind?
Do you find yourself daydreaming about lakes, forests, trails, and cultivating the land… as your officemates drone on about their favorite movies and awesome video games?
Do you value environmental health, sustainability, renewable energy, and related advocacies more than your conventional-minded friends do?
If these are your realities even while surrounded by the comforts of modern living, you just might be cut out for a wonderful life off the grid!
Home Power Magazine says there are close to 200,000 families living off the grid in the United States.
Worldwide, the figure is estimated to be around 2 billion.
Evidently, there are countless individuals and families who have turned their dream of flourishing off the grid into reality.
Like you, they have longed for a more autonomous, less wasteful, and nature-based lifestyle.
And because they are now living the off-grid dream, it means you can, too.
This comprehensive guide will take you through each strategic step in the process of preparing, building, and finally settling into a healthy and productive life independent from grid technology.
In Off Grid Living for Beginners, you will discover:
* Why living off the grid is an exceedingly viable alternative to the hectic city lifestyle
