Off-grid, learning, looking for likeminded to share experience and knowledge.
by RAFFFE on FEBRUARY 9, 2013 - 6 Comments in I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE OFF-GRID


Hello, im an engineer, universal tech-guru and hunter, fisher, and down to earth kind of guy. Trying to avoid walking the same path as everybody else.

Guess i’ve always been a survivalist/prepper. But until recently i didn’t have a name for it. I was just brought up that way. I think it might be a northern thing we do up here.

Many of my friends describe me as the go-to guy for anything tech related. I’d like to say that im a professional problem solver. :-P

I bought and own my a house, that i’m now seeing to continue making it more self sufficient / off grid.

Hi..I don’t know what you are exactly looking for but if it is sharing knowledge, you might want to try one of the Forums on Off-Grid. You can start your own thread…or just join in on one.

Hi you sound a bit like myself. Im getting set to go off grid in northern Canada. Are you in a forested area. Do you pictures of your place. Do you have moose and caribou in your area. How islolated is northern part of Sweden

It sounds like it is amazing out there, I am a single mom who lives in the mountains of northern Ca, I have grown up living this way and also didn’t know there was a name for it until recently. I am now trying to teach my sons how to be self sufficient,we love it up here but now the citys are starting to take over and we are running out of room and the wild life is getting scarce. Sweden was an area I was interested in but have no idea what the cost is up there for land? Any info would be awesome and a huge help! Thank you
