How to Live off Grid | S1 E4

In this episode we discuss how to live off grid. Our goal is to live an off grid lifestyle and create a homestead that hearkens back to a simpler time. Being a retired couple from the city, we are total greenhorns to wilderness living and have no idea how to live off grid – especially on an island!

Even so, we are enterprising and dedicated workers. That is to say, we are totally committed to this pioneering lifestyle! Hopefully the mistakes we make along the way won’t be too catastrophic. Time will tell…

We know we will need fire, shelter, water and food. And some form of power. But that’s about all we know. High on the list of priorities is constructing a tiny cabin to get us more comfortable. The simple act of becoming cozy, warm and dry will go a long way in terms of keeping our spirits high as we face the numerous challenges and setbacks we are sure to encounter along the way.

The time and energy we are spending figuring out how to live off grid is invigorating and rewarding. We are constantly looking for creative solutions to the challenges that we encounter along the way.

Thank you for joining us! We are the first to admit that we don’t know much about living outdoors, but we will learn. Come learn with us! We welcome all comments.
