FYI

The Off Grid Home has returned and will be better then ever.

After some serious speed bumps and cob walls we are happy to announce we are revving back up. New stories are being researched as you read this and our first real post has been published.

We are revamping not only The Off Grid Home but it's sister site Off Grid USA. At this time we have deleted all advertising on both as we wish to focus on our sites and readers. The Off Grid Home we be returned to its former glory of news and information that will help anyone to become more self-sufficient in their everyday lives. While Off Grid USA will be redesigned as a barter site and forum. If we have learned anything it is that doing it all takes more hours in a day then we have so local bartering is a great way to get rid of the extra and get that which is needed.
Everyone should be Off Grid.
