This Is How I Disappeared From the Grid

We also pay another price as our personal and financial information is shared with companies and people who are total strangers to us. It’s wearying and as the costs continue to climb, some of us have decided to move towards a more self-sufficient and hopefully secure approach.

Several ways exist to prevent looting after a disaster, or at least minimize your losses. None are foolproof, especially if your home has sustained significant damage.

Even the best locks on doors and windows won’t do much if windows are blown out or if the front of your house has caved in. Still, it’s worth considering some of these possibilities, especially if you live in an area prone to natural disasters.

How to Get Running Water When the Next Hurricane Hits

Though food and shelter are of exceptional importance during a natural disaster, we cannot live for long without water. It is a simple fact of life and, when you are faced with no water at all, an extremely irritating one. We spent two weeks with no running water due to having no power. Here’s how to get running water when the next hurricane hits.

Amish Powerless Tools For A World Without Power

One of the main reasons you should consider using powerless Amish tools is their durability. Unlike modern power tools that require constant maintenance and parts replacement, these hand-crafted tools are built to last.

Lately, the signs of strain are hard to ignore. I remember the day I first realized how vulnerable this system really is. It was during a particularly nasty winter storm a few years back. The roads were impassable for days, and suddenly, those weekly trips to the feed store weren’t an option.

Self Sufficient Living

The Worst States for Living Off Grid

Self-sufficiency is starting to become a necessity for more and more people. As the cost of living is increasing all over the U.S., switching to an off-grid lifestyle could become the norm soon. Or at least I think it should. For anyone who can make the switch, there’s no reason not to. But for those who live in certain states, the challenge might prove a bit more difficult. Off-grid living is, in theory, legal in most states in America. However, you’ll find states that regulate rainwater collection, some that have solar energy special requirements, and others that don’t even have the option of disconnecting from the power grid entirely.

I Visited An Amish Farm. This Is How It Went

When you say self-sufficiency, prepping, and surviving without modern technology, it makes sense to think of the Amish. They’ve been thriving for so long that you might want to try a thing or two of their tactics. You can start with this:

While I may not always be the top-notch prepper I, perhaps, should be; I do like to be prepared. In fact, whenever a storm is forecast to hit us, I’m usually one of the ones making sure we have water in the tub and a little extra food tucked away.

Hurricane Helene was forecast, at 12:30 am on September 27th, to strike Atlanta and that area. I am well over 200 miles away from Atlanta and we were supposed to get some rain and perhaps 15 mph winds. No big deal.

Items You Need to EMP-Proof Before It’s Too Late

When power goes out, most homesteaders reach for their backup generator. But what happens when every circuit board within a thousand miles gets fried simultaneously? Your generator, solar system, and emergency radio become useless in an EMP event. The threat of an EMP strike looms larger than ever.

Hide This Immediately If You Have It On Your Property

There are plenty of items related to homesteading that we’d want to keep hidden from outsiders—like food, water, essential gear, tools, gold, silver, or even a survival garden. Why hide these things? Well, aside from protecting what’s ours, it’s also about avoiding unplanned visits from folks looking to “borrow” our equipment for their needs.

Ingenious Ways to Purify Water in the Wild

It is rare to find water in the wild which is safe to drink. Naturally occurring water will either be muddy, contain floating debris (including small debris), or have microscopic pathogens in it. Long gone is the day when we could safely drink water from a clear running stream or spring. In a survival situation, we have to assume that any water we find is not drinkable, no matter how clean and clear it might look (assuming you can actually find clear water).
