Welcome to our 30 day offgrid build for October of 2023! We’re assembling sustainable, affordable, offgrid systems to provide for the 5 basic physiological needs for 24 humans: Creative shelter, fresh water, green sanitation, clean energy, and local food are things that make the world truly better and more enjoyable. Beyond having fun building all of this and sharing it with you, one big goal for this project is to clearly illustrate how creative & sustainable solutions can solve our housing affordability crisis and free young people to avoid working paycheck to paycheck to survive in our modern economy. We need a fresh vision for living well! Many people are seeking a closer connection to nature, a slower pace of life, an affordable lifestyle, a sustainable lifestyle, and freedom from being indentured to our modern economic system. Mostly though, we just love building offgrid systems!

In episode 4 the micro cabin (shed shell) is delivered, we're touring the micro cabin shell, moving the IBC rain tanks, adding a small deck, and reviewing the future system plans.

We want to reclaim our time, our health, and finances, and a sense of peace. We want to help you and millions of others do the same. This takes designing our lives to be more local, more sustainable, more affordable and generally more offgrid. We want to swim out of the mainstream, we want to optout, slow down, to live more simply and locally. We want to educate as many people as we can about this affordable and sustainable lifestyle of living well with decentralized, offgrid systems.

Nothing beats hands on experience, but for many, these ideas and practices may be first best introduced through a video game medium. That is why we are creating HomeFree! Follow this kickstarter project to help it come to life! ‍
