Title: Living Completely Off-Grid
Post by: Nadir on July 16, 2018, 04:30:34 AM

Living simply and economically a life which would be ideal for a young family. The one thing I can't understand is why he doesn't hook up a water collection and feed it into pipes and have water on tap.

Any way here it is:

I have a friend who lives off grid in southern New Mexico: solar generators, a log cabin and an old RV, satellite internet, outhouse, chickens, etc.

A delightful video -- especially appealing for home aloners.  (I am not one.)

Well, maybe if I'd been a married woman in pioneer days...It seems ideal but not at all realistic for a 60 year old by herself!  I wouldn't last long without help.
