SIMPLE LIVING AND HAPPINESS

Table of Contents

Introduction

WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?

Off-Grid Living Defined

Living without the convenience of public utilities has great rewards but also many challenges. It also means different things to different people. There is no official definition of the term, and many variations of off-grid living prevail. Here are some of the ways people enjoy this lifestyle:

LIVING OFF THE GRID, as I define it, means creating a home that is autonomous and does not rely on public utility connections, such as electricity, water, waste management, sewers, gas lines, and telecommunication and Internet services delivered via cables. Most off-grid homes are in rural areas.

As you will discover in this book, living off the grid doesnt mean living like a caveman or Tibetan monk. You can be off the grid and still have a phone, Internet connection, modern toilet and shower, and appliances. You can still live in a comfortable, warm, up-to-date home. It just takes the proper planning, which is what this book is all about.

SEMI-OFF-GRID LIVING means using the services of one or several public utilities but not all of them. Some rural homes are semi off grid out of necessity. For example, many houses in remote locations have public electrical services but also a self-contained (off-grid) well and/or septic system. This is the type of living I experienced while growing up. A semi-off-grid approach works well for people who need a guaranteed utility service to survive, such as someone using medical devices that require a reliable source of electricity but who still want to be as independent of regular utility services as possible.

This book will be of great use to anyone who wants to transition to a modern and comfortable yet fully or partially off-grid lifestyle. It was written primarily for people who prefer to hire contractors to help them build, rather than those who want to eke out an existence using only what the land provides. So if you want to live autonomously but still enjoy modern creature comforts and telecommunications, this book will be an excellent resource and, I hope to help you avoid many costly and frustrating mistakes in your off-grid adventure.

OTHER OFF-GRID LIFESTYLES

Here are some topics often associated with off-grid living that this book will not cover:

PRIMITIVE OFF-GRID LIVING is for people who prefer to espouse a more primitive style of off-grid living, opting to live more like our great-grandparents might have. For example, they might live in a tiny cabin without any electricity or running water and make their own supplies and structures out of the trees and rocks present on their land. Its almost like camping, but with permanent structures, usually built by hand by the people who will live in them.

HOMESTEADING means living a self-sufficient lifestyle, usually in conjunction with living off the grid. Homesteaders live in a manner similar to our ancestors who had farms. They grow their own food, preserve foodstuffs for cold seasons, and often raise animals and/or hunt for meat. Many homesteaders build modern off-grid homes and have cars, computers, and so on. If you dont want to have to go to the grocery store ever again, and the idea of hobby farming appeals, homesteading may be of interest to you.

PREPPING is a lifestyle carried out by preppers. Preppers believe in preparing for the future, and anticipating how to handle a major threat to life or disaster, either natural or man-made. Acquiring survival skills (such as homesteading), stocking survival supplies, and being able to live without the benefits of a utility grid are usually a part of this lifestyle.

I believe everyone should be able to choose their own lifestyle, and certainly there are many people who incorporate elements of several off-grid options into their homes. For example, many off-grid enthusiasts dabble in homesteading or prepping to some degree.

However, this book will not cover subjects related to primitive off-grid living, homesteading, or prepping in any detail. If you want to undertake one of these options, you can use this book for some planning ideas in conjunction with other resources that focus exclusively on these topics.
