This guide provides information establishing and maintaining an offgrid homestead, including land selection, building and shelter options, heating, cooking, power solutions, self-sufficiency through gardening and raising livestock, security measures, and community involvement.
The guide will detail the priorities to be considered when selecting a plot of land for the intent of building a structure disconnected from traditional utilities and remote from common man-made resources. The end goal is to establish a self-sufficient homestead or emergency egress location in the event of a life altering scenario or the desire to shift from dependence on others. While the focus of the guide is derived from a "prepared mindset" on survival, the information is also relative to those wishing to live a different lifestyle.
