I spent twelve years powering our home with solar panels and generators, pumping our water, heating with wood and raising kids off the grid just north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. I'm sharing my hard-earned library of tips, trials, and triumphs.
I've written literally hundreds of articles about off grid living. I'm collecting the top articles here in one spot so you can see what worked (and what flopped), pick a place to start, and build your own self-reliant life—no matter where you plug in today.
