Living outdoors - off the grid
Posted: Jan 25 2011 7:58 pm
So in the heated uranium mining thread, the question was brought up about being prepared to live "off the grid", either by choice or during an emergency. Do you think about such things? Are you prepared for such a thing?
In Page, I feel like I'm fairly well prepared for any sort of short to medium term "off the grid" experience. We've got water (from the lake), fresh meat (from the lake and wildlife in the surrounding area). There are some edible plants up here, plus we've got some saved away to last for a little while. My truck can run off of ethanol - with a still I can brew my own fuel from the abundant juniper berries around here. I feel pretty good - not 100%, but pretty good.
What about you? Do you have experience with such things? Do you prepare for such things?
