Living Off Grid, Really!?!?

Living Off Grid, Really!?!? ‘Da Energy Mon’has lived off grid for 33 years (18 years solar)you can too! The Living Off Grid Really?!?! What is your joy, your desire, your dream?

Living Off Grid---Solar power, Wild Crafting, Self Reliance, Preserving food, Surviving, Living Simply,Reusing,Making, these are all part of the Off Grid mentality.Book available Mentality is about taking control of our lives by tangibly figuring out ways to simplify our day to day needs. Society has convinced us that spending an hour (or 2) every to commute to the 8 to 10 hour a day job to pay fo

r the car and clothes we need for that job as well as pay for that huge house we only have enough time to crash in, is the American dream. How can we simplify our needs enough that we don’t need to salve at an undesirable job? Make a list of needs as well as joys. Are they all bought with money ? Or Does money buy you happiness? Why are the poorest people in the world more happy statistically than the richest? Does money buy LOVE? I got to spend the weekend in the BackHome Magazine booth answering questions about all things off grid and this reenergized my joy of living off grid and my desire to share my knowledge. This below is what inspired me to start this group. BackHome Magazine ·

Is it true that Natural burial is legal in every state and practiced around the world?. Yet many families never learn about it because they are guided through an industrial funeral system that often presents only conventional options.

Friend's post
I received a lecture from my chiropractor that I’m blessed to distill and pass on to y‘all:

lift your phone up. higher. just a bit more. ok there, a good inch above your direct line of vision so your head has to tip back ever so slightly.

Now you can build up your shoulder muscles while you scroll or finger type a 4000 word essay. When you can’t hold the posture, go do something physical like dance or yoga or flailing around like a wacky wavy arm flailing inflatable tube man. Then look to the sky and consider the birds.

You’re welcome. 😘
