start with the basics.
I’ll tell you where to start. I stopped bathing, and haven’t bathed in 2 years or so. I’ve taken a shower maybe once every few months, like people used to in the old days. I do the occasional sponge bath, or go into a bathroom and throw sodium laureth under my arms, if I feel I might offend someone with my stink. Then again I think people putting all that ax and oderant on themeslves, flowers, musk, all that shit, I think that shit stinks…and it personally offends me, so fuck em.
Id kill myself due to boredom if I were these whities.
These comments are amazing: Written by cave dwellers who can’t spell and ignorant as hell!
yo u must stink bro we aint in that much water neseity bro chiilll out nd take a bath i smell uu from here lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!! :/
cappuccinos taste good!
hardware and software design, working on your books.
of course you can develop this type of life style lol
Oh well good job on the house design.
Well, that sounds like a nice little accomplishment they have achieved. I dont quite think that life is for me though. They may be off the power grid but they have internet and a phone most likely. And i think the investment to start such a project would require quite a bit more money than most people have. I commend them though. Good job
this is living off grid and it’s great to see what’s possible but its not self sufficient living, to be self sufficient you need a large family or a small group of people and a great deal of effort.
TRUE – To be self sufficient you have to have a garden, chickens, water well, root cellar, barn, farm animals, and so on….this requires a division of labor between many people and a lot of time.
Cave dwellers will survive and city dwellers will die during a world wide catastrophe such as SOLAR MAXIMUM, Nuclear War, global panendemic, or other huge environmental changes.
not if your a vegetarian
True….vegetarians would have a difficult time living in a world that has been turned upside down by a world wide catastrophe because food would be scarce, and you have to be willing to eat squirrels, doves, fish, frogs, honey bees, grasshoppers. If it moves, consider it as a source of protein.
paying insurance and property taxes is not living off the grid!! LOL.
can you explain to us all how you would avoid that?
i understand the technology is there and everybody has been turned off to it the majority of ur bills in a house besides the moregage is utilities = less money in your pocket some people have great jobs and cant keep up on bills cause the have so many
go green to save money and be free from rising energy cost of the future. The electricity companies waste 60% to 70% of what they transmit down their bad transmittion lines
@dwaynec995 i can see not paying insurance. but how you cant not pay property tax..
@dwaynec995 you cant avoid paying property tax. without loosing you house or goin to jail. somethin like that
how do you get in touch with ppl if you want to live off the grid?
you can find us on facebook under earthship.florida; we’re well connected in that world
I converted my home to a net-zero solared powered home (no oil or gas either)…I made a youtube video showing what my family did…
Not true, you just have to be hidden well.
Very nice place, this is more realistic than some of the hippie compounds in mud huts.
I think the fact that they haven’t “altered their way of life in any way shape or form” is the very point that they are making. The ability to stop wasting natural resources and continue to enjoy the amenities of on-the-grid living is a reality. I don’t think it matters whether you have the ability to purchase it outright or put it together as you go. What matters is that people like this, cash-purchase or do-it-yourself, are having a positive impact on the planet on which we live.
