I am 24, and live in Northern California, though that is not where I plan to stay. Recently some of my close family decided to start living off the grid, and once I am fully prepared I plan to join them. I'm here for knowledge, the equipment to developing the necessary skills for my life's adventure.
@Aaskereia Welcome aboard the tree. You should be able to find everything you need here except motivation. (Sounds like you have that already --)
The pool of knowledge, in the shade of the monkey tree, is both wide, and deep. Come on in, the water's fine.
@Aaskereia good for you and your family for starting to get prepared, just in case. It is wonderful to see a 24 year old with their eyes open and questioning the future. Do not hesitate to ask questions. The members here will always take time to answer and help. There is a huge wealth of personal knowledge and they will share. Glad to have you here. PS- if you run into a long haired guy with a cat in the woods, run fast. (sorry old joke- old member)
