  1.  @Kyle-bb9zp  Excellent! Sounds like you are on your way. Think about chickens. If you get chicks, make sure you have a heat source for them. I have chickens and will add maybe some meat rabbit’s later this summer. 🍀🍀

  2.  @archerladyfrost  It’s not very easy, but it brings my heart and mind peace. I would not live any other way. If you want my advice, gain knowledge. Find out as much as you can about yourself, and the capabilities and limitations that you have. Knowledge about the land, and what you need to survive and be happy. Good luck 🍀

  4.  @Lukenukem8732  Wow Luke, You are right. I’m now 66. I could die tonight, but so can anybody who walks this earth. What are doing with your time? I know what I’m doing with mine.

  5. Thank you, but I’m living this life as a breast, cancer survivor, bilateral knee replacement, now 66 year old woman. I followed my dreams, I hope others will find and follow their’s. It can be done ♥️

  6. Good luck. Chicken are easy, but goats are harder. Hoof trimmings every two months, deworming, and if you want sweet mike from them, check out what kind of feed to get. Goats climb on everything, so put in a very strong (no climb) fence in. Make sure if they have horns, that they can’t get hooked in the fence. If you debud then you make sure you know what you are doing. (Some people haves burned their brains and killed then). Make sure you don’t have your solar panels or any wiring around. And make sure you have your garden secured. I’m talking out of experience. Thank you, Jesus! I don’t have any, but had to put up with all of this because my neighbors goats are not fenced in and all the damage was from her goats. 😢

  7.  @wanerromero9766  I’m not sure if I did it right, but the first thing I did was to get the things that I needed. Solar lights with small panels, water filters, ( like a Berkeley) solar, and gas/propane generators. Solar panels, propane tanks, propane heaters. Read up on solar energy, gardening etc… Make a list of what you need in your land. Start looking into land. Do a Google earth search to see what would be around you, like railroads, jail/ prisons, farm land, towns, water. Find out what kind of things plague the area, like pest, high crime and drug problems. I hope this helps. Good luck🍀

  9.  @smoothchicago742  I have my cell phone and charge it on a solar generator. The mountain that I live by had a tower. But I don’t have internet.

  10.  @mysterym444  I started by making some lists. What was I looking for in some land. Where could I afford it. What did I need for that land. I listed all the things I needed for going off grid. What kind of house was available. Do I want it by family, and how long will it take to get to me if something happens. It’s a start and will take you sometime to figure it out. I also started to collect things I would need, like solar generator and panel, solar lights, tools, dried foods, etc… Good luck.🍀

  11.  @davidsuch8942  David, that’s a beautiful name. I sold my house in California to do this. I didn’t do this for me. I’m old, a breast cancer survivor, I have two knee replacements etc… I did this for my family. I don’t think things are going great in this world and wanted something they can get to that they may have a chance to survive. I’ve already made my peace with my maker and am ready at anytime he wants me.

  13.  @jonnijhhon  That’s the only place I can pull news feeds. And some of the channels, like this one has very valuable information and skills.

  14.  @jonnijhhon  This is the one thing I can give my kids and Grandkids that might help, or even save them. As I said, I’m 65 so much has changed in the world now. 2019 to now has been mind blowing. Even as a 40 year old, there were no smash and grab, and employees being fired if they stopped them, no defunding police, no law and order, so many people living in the streets, no home, no food, no water, no hope. This scares the 💩out of me. When I say my family thinks I’m nuts, it’s the older group not the younger ones. This is a hard life. But in my house that I had in the city in California, I was a target. 55 and older communities are easy picking for criminals. I had been targeted. My friend tells me it’s getting worse. Im doing this for my kids and grandkids. Not me.

  15.  @scotimotti  How do you figure. No electricity, no running water, no internet but because I have cell service I’m not off grid. Really dude!

  17.  @nechiedavis1779  You are very right. I can’t do this forever. My dad did it until he passed ( late 70’s) he was a drinker and smoker. My grandparents did it into there 80’s. Fingers crossed I can do it for that long. As I said I’m 65 after being a breast cancer survivor I don’t take any medication. I keep up on my health and eat healthy food and of course do a lot of work outside that I consider exercise. This is one of my insurance plans for my family. After I pass and if the world rights it’s self, my kids will do what they want with it. If not, they have a place to live. After I started this my older sister had a come to Jesus moment after the Texas grid went down a few years ago. She told me her husband and their closest kid will come to her house. She has put away food and water etc…She also watches videos to learn how to do things to survive. She will not come to me because it’s too far. My middle sister, her family, my two daughters and their family’s still think I’m off my nut.😵‍💫

  20.  @lucasrevell2894  Well, I have to dig holes to get rid of my business, I have no running water. I get it from rain barrels or if that’s dry in town. I have no electricity, all of what power I have is from solar panels and a solar generator. I have solar lights inside my house and outside with there own panels. ( if the sun doesn’t shine no lights) I live on the side of a small mountain with a dirt road in and out of it. I don’t have internet only what’s on my on my phone (one to two bars) and that’s how I get to watch videos.

  21.  @charsswalker1677  How do you use your phone in your car with no internet? I’m off grid because I have no internet in my house, no running water no flushing toilets no electricity. I have solar lights that have their own panels, solar panels, and solar generator. Because I don’t have running water, I use rain barrels. If my barrels are empty, I go to town and fill the 10 one gallon container. I bury my business and use my bath water to clean out the bucket that I do my business in. The nearest electrical pole is about 2 1/2 miles away from me. The water is about 3 miles away from me. In the winter I use snow for water and filter it and boil it if I drink it. Also in the winter, if I don’t get enough sunlight, I use old lamps and candles. What part of my life is not off the grid?

  22.  @charsswalker1677  Wow….. I told you that I have solar panels and a solar generator. That’s what I plug into to charge my phone. Again, do you have internet in your car? No you use your phone service not internet. I have mostly two bars of phone service, not internet. Living off grid means that you are not plugged into any type of grid. No electricity, water or sewer! Nothing on the grid! You don’t have to live in a cave to be off grid.

  23.  @m42037  I started while I was still working. After that I get a small retirement from my old job. I sold my house in California and stayed with my son’s family to take care of my grandchildren while they worked. That was for about 2 years. I made lists of the land I wanted and how much I could afford. I also made a list of the things that I needed to live off grid. I started little by little getting them. I also started to get food supplies, like rice, beans, and pasta. I found different colored buckets, so I could separate things in different colors. ( Red was for medical, yellow was for dried dairy, green was for spices, brown was for freezes dried meats etc…) I dried caned things like sugar, salt, honey etc.. I collected seeds for a garden. I went to places like goodwill and garage sales to find how to books and things that were on my list. It took me a long time and by no means I don’t live high on the hog. Each year I learn more about my land. I made many mistakes, but I correct them and go on. I need so much more, but little by little, fingers crossed I’ll get there.

  24.  @FreddieSummerville-t4u  I started years ago. Made a list of what I wanted in some land, and what I could afford. Made a list of the things I might need, like solar panels, solar generator, something for heat, solar lights etc… It took me a while, and after I moved I found out it didn’t cover it all. Started putting away food, medical supplies etc.. Went to garage sales and goodwill for how to books and other things on my list.

  25.  @amiraa757  I moved to a state that part of my family lives in and the others can get to in less than a day. That was my number one priority. If you choose a state you will have to look at your list of priorities. After I bought my property I found out some negative things about the land that now I have to work around.( like Mormon crickets that eat everything, even each other) so my property is not perfect, but as I said, I covered my number one priority.

  26.  @cherylcanale842  I saved and sold my house. I spend almost two years living with my family watching my grandchildren and was very careful about buying land. I spent my 1st summer baking and my 1st winter freezing because I didn’t have insulation and a heater. Each year gets better.

  29.  panicman10-js1oi  I own my property. If someone buys the property by mine, I’m far enough away that it doesn’t matter. I can check to see if the land had been sold. There few people around me, but we go over and see what’s going on. If they don’t give me the right name, and answers, I call the owner and the sheriff. But the land is so far away from things, not to many people want to live like this. I have camera’s that are on cell service (Not internet) and trail cams etc… like all of the people around me. It protects from stranger coming around acting like we are a supermarket.

  32.  @DeezNuts-jj7nk  Off grid means that I’m not connected to and utilities(the grid). No water, no sewer, no electricity. The sun is my electricity. The hole I have in on my land is my sewer. The water in my barrels, snow or if I run out( one gallon at a time) in town is my water. I do have cell service. I’m about 6000 feet above sea level, but still have about two lines of service. Nothing is connected. If you are driving in your car, can you still use your phone? Do you still have cell service?

  38.  @belfastgrimeman6167  My electricity comes from the sun, my water comes from rain, snow or I have to get it in town. My sewer is a hole in the ground. I have NOTHING hooked to my cabin. I DON’T have internet. I do have cell service on my phone, sometimes. What do you call it if there’s no grid hooked to your home?

  39.  @cheriep2959  I don’t do videos. But I can tell you that I’m a breast cancer survivor. The chemotherapy did a number on my body (lymphedema, and neuropathy) I have two knee replacements and arthritis in my hands and feet. I take my time and work around my old age. I love my life.

  40.  @xxxdieselyyy2  I have been very poor all my life. So if my car needed an oil change, water pump, my water heater is acting up, wire my cabin for a generator, etc…. I found books in the library or places like goodwill. Also YouTube. I sometimes take days to figure it out. I draw it out, thing of all I need to do and do it. If it’s wrong I redo it. Not the fastest way, but I get it done. Right now I’m going to put in a wood stove. I watched Kyle’s Cabin and a few others and after I build my chicken coop, I will get that done. Putting a hole in my roof is not the problem for me, it’s the hot stove pipe and chimney pipe that worries me. About 30 years ago my house burned down because of a faulty fireplace. So this is taking me time to ponder 😵‍💫😫

  42.  @BradfordDobson-lu6id  It’s hard, but peaceful. The air is clear, and it’s so quiet. You know if someone or something is heading your way. Always much to do, but never boring. I still love it♥️

  43.  @chrishirini5414  Thank you Chris, but I’m not young or a man. I’m now a 66 year old breast cancer survivor woman. I have both knees replaced and struggle with the side effects of chemo. I have to get my water from town, or melt the snow and I have two solar generators for electricity.. Right now the roads are muddy into town. I have to get up at 5 am to try to make it into town before the roads thaw out. I’m not the best at this, but I believe if I can do it, anyone can. I love my life. ❤️from 🇺🇸

  44.  @tomhaywood8619  Tom, I’m so sorry to hear your wife is fighting cancer. It takes a lot out of both of you. Please, both of you stay strong and my prayers are with you-all. Even though cancer took a lot out of me, I still love this life. I hope you find your happiness.

  46.  @muhammadmudassir7002le  Are you worried that if this situation we are living in spirals down, you might be stuck in a country where your homes are not in? That would worry me. I have this set up for my kids and grandchildren. All of them live in big cities with many people, and it would take many days, weeks, or months to get to me. I feel that no place is safe, but I’m in the mountains and have very few people around me.

  47.  @ihave35cents95  Like always, One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This is a amazing life. The beautiful around me is breathtaking. Retiring from working in a prison, the noise level was unbelievable. I have no cars, motorcycles, neighbors yelling, etc. It’s peaceful. It is my treasure.

  49.  @xaviertheteacher  As I said. This is for my family. Whoever can get to me, it will be here for them. After I did this, my older sister that lives in Texas started putting food, water etc.. away for the same reason. I told her if anything happens she could come to my place. She told me that they are to old to make the trip. As long as her supplies last they will be good. My middle sister still doesn’t get it, along with my daughters, but my son is on board. Any other family members also know they are also welcome. Although this is beautiful and peaceful out here, it is also not easy.

  50.  @bmanscire  I have solar lights that I got off of Amazon, I have 3 large solar panels and 2 small ones that I run 2 1500 watt generators and one 400 watt generator for my phone and tools. I have 10 50 gallon barrels that I use in the summer. In the winter because they freeze, I use snow that I melt and town water for drinking. I have a wood stove, but haven’t hooked it up yet. My heat is a Buddy heater and have about 10 small propane tanks that I use. I also watch the Canadian prepper and have worked a system somewhat like his. It’s a bucket system. Different colors for different types of supplies. Red for medical, white for beans and rice, yellow for powdered dairy products, black for ready to eat foods, green for drinks sugar and honey, etc. I have a loft that I put it in.
