Start Here
This short video explains how I think about off-grid living, why I built this site the way I did, and how to use the information here without getting overwhelmed.
I believe independence, income, and calm can coexist without drama. The resources here are designed to help you slow down, understand what matters, and build systems that support a stable, long term off grid life.
One quick note: this site is built in passes. You do not need to learn everything today. Start with one simple pass, then come back when you are ready.
What Matters Most
How I think about frugal off-grid living
- Start From Nothing
- Do It Frugally
- Do It Legally
- Build Real Stability
- Change Your Life
If you are new, do not explore yet. Start with Step 1 below and move in order. You will feel calmer if you follow the sequence.
What to do next
Step 1: Get your first pass of orientation.
Start with the free guide. It is designed to give you a realistic foundation so you understand what matters, what does not, and what tends to cause problems for beginners. No commitment and no pressure to act.
After the free guide, you will have enough clarity to decide whether you just want to watch and learn, or whether you want the deeper structure (Roadmap and The Path) to follow this end to end.
Optional shortcuts
If you are not ready for the guide yet, here are a few simple places to begin. These are tools and reference points. You can come back and do the full sequence later.
Land locator and free land-finding tools
Quick ways to filter counties and listings and avoid common land traps.
Water calculator
A simple way to estimate real water needs before you commit to a location.
Frugal Off Grid Library
A structured video library that shows the full path from beginner to stable off-grid systems, in order.
Start Here playlist on YouTube
The core videos that explain the framework and the practical order of decisions.
Blog and field notes
Written guides, checklists, and deeper explanations you can read at your own pace.
Step 2: Learn the framework that holds everything together.
If you want the full way I think about building stability, how systems connect, reduce pressure, and support each other, the book lays it all out in one place. It is meant to be read front to back, then returned to over time.
The Book
A calm systems-based framework for building a stable life over time (Shelter, Water, Food, Power, Income). Built to be read front to back and returned to as your life changes.
Step 3: See the bigger picture before making decisions.
If you finish the guide and still feel unsure how everything fits together in practice, the Roadmap walks through the bigger picture. It explains how land, systems, time, and money usually interact, and what order decisions tend to happen in, before you start building or spending.
The Roadmap ($20)
A calm overview of what matters most, what you can ignore, and the order things usually happen in so you can make decisions with less stress.
Step 4: Go deeper only if you are ready.
If you want the full step-by-step structure, everything in one place, in order, the The Path bundle has the complete structure (webinar + roadmap + ebooks) without hunting around for pieces.
If you are the kind of person who likes a clear sequence and wants to follow it end to end, The Path is the cleanest way to do that.
The Path ($250)
The full bundle for people who want the complete structure (webinar + roadmap + e-books) without hunting around for pieces.
If you would rather not do this alone, the community is optional. It is there if you want to learn alongside others who are taking a similar, practical approach.
If this page helps you slow down and feel clearer, you are in the right place.
