In my mind, I have romanticized getting off the grid, picturing a cozy cabin in the woods, sitting by a roaring fire with my dog at my side. This book will pop that bubble (in a good way) with the realism of independent living. The author first tackles some stereotypes, such as that only weird, anti-social people do this sort of thing. Then, he goes into what kind of person is likely to succeed. In fact, there is a quiz you can take to see if you're the type! There is a ton of very practical advice covered on every topic of off-grid living you can think of, like how to heat your home, how to build a temporary shelter, or how to purify water for drinking. And each one has multiple options with pros and cons for each option. If you are considering a future off the grid, this book will give you a realistic picture of what it will take.
