""Amazing Resource. This book is packed full of detailed informative ways to live an off grid lifestyle, from smaller projects to larger ones, this is an excellent resource."" ""A lot of useful info to be found here."" ""Superb. Clear and detailed, easy to read and written by someone who obviously has a huge experience base from which to draw, and a true love of their craft."" ""Informative read. Great book, very informative, it will stay in my homesteading bookshelf."" ""This book isn't just surface level. It discusses everything from well drilling to solar power and all the little things in-between. I love that the author has actually done this and started her journey in the 1980s moving to Vermont and this wasn't just written by a trendy teen who tried to camp in a tent once."" ""A wonderful book about living off grid written by someone that has actually done it. If you read something in this book you can trust it because the author has actually done it, not just researched it.""
