Welcome to Off Grid in the City, Suburbs. Can we live comfortably in icy winter or hot summer conditions, are we prepared and ready? In 2003 peak summer many in Canada and US experienced blackout for 2-7 days, we had no power of 4days. Then 10years later in 2013 peak winter, icy rain hit Southern Ontario and many experienced blackout for 2-14days, we had no power for just over 3 days. Temperature dropped quickly, doors frozen shut, no cooking, no heating, unable to helped our aged neigbors. It was ridiculous how unprepared we were. Since then and without breaking the bank, we started this project. "Off the Grid in the suburbs" - it is really "Living off the Grid when the power goes down." This is a project my son and I worked on. We are Christians who love Yeshua and know we need to help each other.
