Hi. I am just introducing myself. Bulldog. I am wanting to learn so much more about off grid living for me and my family. I have two little girls I want them to love the freedom living off the grid can provide.
Admirable!! Teaching your children self reliance is the responsibility of every parent. Some accept the challenge, others abdicate that responsibility to teachers, their family members, their kids friends or society in general. I like your take!!
Welcome Bulldog.. Raised three youngsters in the hills and they are well on their way to being fine adults...
Welcome to the Monkey Tree -- our family's favorite Survival Forum thanks to so many kind-civil folks with a broad-deep knowledge hanging out on one big tree.
Welcome to the site! Start learning how to Farm out the gate! Start out as big as you can, that way you get crops even if you make mistakes along the way. It gets easier every time you do it. Most crops have a 90 day turn around, then pull them and plant something different. Seed packets almost always have instructions on the back. Meat rabbits are good as well, don't require a lot of space or effort, they taste great, clean meat and lots of it!
Happy to see you and your family here on the Monkey... Lots of folks, just like yourself, hang'en out on the Monkey Tree....
Welcome aboard. I was watching Fat men in the woods. Some guy on the show wanted to live off grid. After a day or so of roughing it he declared his off-grid would have solar and water etc... So how off-grid are you planning?
We want to off grid as possible but have hot water and all, we are actually soon moving to Louisiana to a guy who has a place and is off grid. He said he wants to teach us in exchange of help
