a concept

OK so many of us have heard of "living off the grid" communial living off the land with no ties to government or taxes or bills etc...

FOr me personally this is a bit to extreme... However teatering on the edge of the grid.... well that seems fabulous. I am considering solar panels for starters. as well as converting all appliances( furnace and water heater ) to electric.

Next step would be a water collection and filter/purifying system...

any ideas on this... any other "off the grid" solutions?

    Have you heard of "Countryside" magazine? I just recently renewed my subscription after nearly a decade. It has all sorts of stuff like that. It's basically just lots practical advice from people that have "been there" and have been doing it for a long time. Yeh, some it is a bit extreme, but I find myself reading every last article and thinking to myself: "Hummmm . .. . "
