Part three: Electrical Sourcing… No matter how rustic, simple, or minimal you want to live, some form of electricity is still pretty much a necessity. There are many options for sourcing electricity for your off-grid home, including solar panel options, electrical generators and batteries, or bringing in traditional power lines to your property, and each option or scenario has its own price tag and logistics attached to it.
Part Two: Heat Sourcing, Figuring BTU, and Safety…
Many options exist for heating your off-grid vehicle or home, and your heat source really depends on your location and living space. We prefer propane for fueling our heat as opposed to electricity or wood, because for us, it’s been the most convenient and efficient to use.
Part One: Food, Water, & Waste…
Whether you’re heading out into the wilderness for an extreme camping experience, or you’re planning to permanently live off the grid and on your own land, these are the necessities that are crucial to survival during your time away from modern society.
Our vintage Shasta has undergone a handful of renovations over the last few years, including lots of sanding, painting, sanding again, and repainting… We’ve torn out cabinets, put down new floors, and have basically demo’d the kitchen twice. As our wants and needs on this Life Rustic journey have changed, our little house has changed and evolved right along with us.
