Thinking about going off-grid? Start looking for one of these.
If you're thinking about going off-grid, start looking for one of these. It has been the heart of our homestead for the last 11 years.
And it didn't cost a lot, but they can be hard to find since they're decades or even centuries old.
That's right, a wood cook stove. Super reliable, heat your home, cook your food, heat your water, store up years worth of fuel...
It was the first thing in our cabin 11 years ago, and we still use it every day.
If you're going off grid, try to snag a wood cook stove.

Super Simple Wood Burning Hot Tub
This Off-Grid Super Simple Wood Burning Hot Tub is maybe the best thing we've ever done. Normal hot tubs are nice, but I've never been a fan of old chemical treated water and noisy pumps. And the location of this off-grid hot tub is phenomenal, in a magical mature forest, next to a spring, miles from anywhere.
I failed initially, just so you could learn from my mistakes;) but it made the final success even better. And it was amazing! Seriously the best.

Off Grid Food Truck
If you're trying to figure out an off-grid financial plan, self employment should be a major consideration. Living off grid has allowed us a lot of time and financial freedom compared to "normal" 9-5 suburban lives. But we still earn money, and we earn it through various types of self employment.
We're very excited to support Abby as she tries to create a new business, build a food truck, and take control of her life.
You can support Abby's Off Grid Food Truck by pre-purchasing your gift card here: https://www.gridlessness.com/shop
She aims to be up and running in Northern BC by May 2022.

Critical Off Grid Lo Tech
Dirt is the ultimate in lo tech, and it's common to these critical off grid lo tech solutions.
We install and use a simple pond water system that is freeze-proof even in severe winter conditions. But what if the pond water is super nasty, can we use it? We'll see if the Berky water filter can make effluent drinkable. We also give you an update on our root cellar as it keeps a 1000lbs of fresh food.

We have our own gold mine!?
It just dawned on me.....we actually have our own gold mine. We can just go there and dig up the gold. Its not likely to make us rich but if we want a bit of gold, we just go there and get some! We mine and then smelt placer gold in preparation to make our own golden rings.
Part two of this video will hopefully include a modern goldsmith of some sort. If you know of a @moderngoldsmith, let us know.

Super Simple Tiny Cabin Off Grid
We build a super simple tiny cabin, off grid. In fact, we built two of them!
With rough milled lumber, a dozen sheets of plywood and some custom cut glass we got them mostly complete. Add a 12VDC water pump, propane heat-on-demand water heater and a Blaze King wood stove and these tiny cabins are pretty awesome.
They're for short term student housing so they wont be finished like a tiny house. But they could! It wouldn't take too much.
We had help from Dave at silver tree woodworking - https://silvertreewoodworking.ca/
Talk to Blaze King! - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGdmHOeclB_O6t2I1S4mNrw
