An Off Grid Life

Hey there,

One of the biggest worries I hear from families dreaming of the off-grid life is: "I don't know enough about systems yet."

But here is the secret: You can practice resilience right where you are living now.

Winter is the perfect teacher.

⚡️When the storms roll in, do you have a plan for heat?

🕯️Do you have lights that don't need a plug?

🫙Do you have a pantry that can feed your family for a few days?

You don't have to be an expert engineer.

You just need to take small, practical steps to secure your home. It’s about peace of mind—and knowing that you can do hard things.

An Off Grid Life Saturday reads If you walked into a mall today, you probably felt that instant wave of stress. The noise, the crowds, the pressure to buy more. I know you’re tired of the consumer trap. I know you’re craving a season that feels more connected and less chaotic. Here is the good news: You can opt out.
