For those of you who are not familiar with the term "OFF THE GRID," it means not being connected to the power grid. We will be utilizing some very old methods and some new high tech methods for taking care of our needs.
Lights/radio/refrigeration will all be powered by the sun via solar panels.
Cooking and heating water will be done on a wood fired stove and wood fired hot tub.
Septic will handled by use of a "Humanure" toilet, which basically is just composting our "waste".
One may ask WHY we would ever want to live like that. There are many reasons that came into play when Matt and I made this decision. They range from childhood stories that really touched us (My Side of the Mountains, Swiss Family Robinson, Robin hood etc.) to the desire to be "Green." I hope through this blog I can explain our logic and you can see where the motivation and passion for this comes from.
