We are Doug and Keri and we are starting the process of moving from a "normal" life in the suburbs of Denver to an off grid life!

In this video we are going to compare Texas and Arkansas…Here is what we found:

Arkansas:
*Climate/temperature/Natural Disasters: Arkansas and warm and humid. Natural disasters
include tornadoes, flash floods, hurricanes, wildfires,and landslides.
*Grow zone: 6-8
*Proximity to our current address: 15+ hours
*Natural resources: Sun, trees, water, game
*Political affiliation: Republican state.
*Taxes/Affordability/Cost of living: It is relatively tax friendly because Social Security income is
completely tax exempt, but the state does have some of the highest sales taxes in the country.
Arkansas is ranked 14 with 1 being cheapest and 50 being most expensive, so it’s in the less
expensive part of the country.

Texas: (east Texas)

tornadoes, and drought.

*Taxes/Affordability/Cost of living: Texas is a tax friendly state with no income tax, but property taxes can be some of the highest in the country. Texas is ranked 15 with 1 being cheapest and 50 being most expensive, so it’s in the less expensive part of the country and You will pay about ⅓ more than the National average for the rest of the country.
