From solar panels to firewood to avoiding bears(!), there are many things to consider when it comes to living off the grid. It’s not easy, but you know that before going into this new lifestyle.

You must think about the heat and the cold. How are you going to live? A small shack? A yurt? How will you bathe and wash your clothes? Farming … How good is the soil around your land?

So many things to consider and over on the next page we have a man and woman who will tell you some of the things they wished they knew before making that off-grid shift!

Some of it is humorous but often we found ourselves nodding. It takes a lot of thought and courage to give up what you have always considered the necessities of life!

It works for them but will it work for you?

After the break consider some of the things this off grid couple wish they would have known and how these factors can help you prepare for living off the land as well.
