Nowadays, many people are turning to survivalism and off-grid living. And for a good reason! From a global perspective, the array of crises we've had to endure, coupled with uncertainty about the future and a lack of prospects, are pushing more and more folks to return to some basics. In fact, who hasn't read about or seen families who decided to leave it all behind and start anew? Living minimally in wood cabins, collecting rainwater, recycling, growing fresh fruit and vegetables, and raising farm animals while relying on sustainable energy sources. How do they do it, and why? Fearing natural catastrophes or the dislocation of society and its disastrous consequences, it isn't hard to grasp why that kind of lifestyle would appeal to many progressive and well-reasoned individuals worldwide.
Living off-the-grid comes down to one central premise: Using everything nature offers to achieve a self-sufficient, sustainable, eco-responsible lifestyle. While we can very well be thankful for modern life's convenient amenities (in Western societies, at least), our collective carbon footprint and irreversible damage to the planet make us think twice about that acquired comfort. So, whether you're looking to distance yourself from increasingly toxic living environments or want to awaken to survivalists inside you for your upcoming adventure trip, going off-grind is an excellent way to challenge everything you were taught until now to experience a healthier, more gratifying life.
This book aims to introduce you to survival living and off-grid DIY projects. Page after page, you'll garner useful knowledge that will empower you and prepare you to live on the edge of modern society, away from commotion and pollution and without access to electricity, running water, or grocery stores. Even if you don't know the first thing about surviving outside your comfort zone, that's quite all right. Everything mentioned here can easily be understood by any 12-year-old with basic science knowledge. What's more, each chapter contains detailed, step-by-step tutorials on how to complete a variety of useful and rewarding projects.
