Reply #21: Getting partially off the grid

[MuseRider]

with our new house. We are putting in geothermal and are planning the structure to add solar panels as soon as we can afford them. We have abundant water and some springs to tap if we need.

Planning a big garden, I can can and will have a place similar to a root cellar. I am learning as much as I can about organic gardening.

My husband frequents the doctor. Other than my bouts with pneumonia the only doctor I have seen in the last 10 years is my rheumatologist and I have figured out a way to live without those meds and him. Putting in a sauna will help a great deal.

Right now I am driving a lot but that will stop when we move to the farm. I raise horses so if the shit hits the fan we will have a way to get around.

I can fix about anything given enough time.

I have plans on things to do if it gets nasty, community gardens (small farming community so we will be able to trade for just about anything), lots of ways to become what this country once was, self sufficient. I will probably get started long before things get that bad though.

I like the idea of becoming self sufficient.

Walmart? Not without a gun to my head.
