So we used a large water tank to gravity feed a huge garden. Our camper pad was up the hill from our main yard. Although its hard on paneled ceilings and they warp after awhile due to crappy insulation in the ceiling. Propane heat is wet and creates mold in the winter. Designed where the heat would rise up and through the camper doorway. The building was really a porch on the side of the camper. So we washed and hung clothes there during winter. I built a building that had a wood stove. I washed clothes using the creek water and wash tubs.

Although we only used it during winter when sun was scarce.

Future plans were to eliminate the generator. We ultimately ended up with high powered solar panels tied into the camper.

20 acres of timber and a full time creek with the clearest water. We also homeschool them and that made things easier.Īfter one year we found a property in the mountains. We constantly reorganized and made improvements to accommodate us and our kids. Then parked ourselves at my parents for one year to settle and decide what to do next. We bought a 32ft travel trailer with cash. And because it places money on a pedestal, it affects the family unity. Conventional life is rigged to make slaves out of us all. We hated constantly being hammered by bills and having companies drain our pockets. So I was hardly intimidated by giving up all our possessions to clean the slate. My dad was a house builder and I am pretty much a jack of all trades. My wife and I spent a few years researching alternative ways of life before deciding to finally go off grid five years ago. But I am here to say that there are those aspects of our lives that we aren't automatically in control of.

People often assume that your health improves because you're more in control of your life. But there doesn't seem to much said about how it can affect your health. We often hear and read alot about off grid lifestyle being many things.
