A Word of Warning | Living Off the Grid: Free Yourself

A Word of Warning
by SNOSHOE on MARCH 5, 2013 - 5 Comments in I AM OFF GRID AND I WANT OTHERS TO JOIN ME

I have been offgrid where I currently caretake, and my own property, which I will be moving to is to be offgrid.

However, I got a “landbuddy” a few years ago, (NOT via this web site )who has the power on, and has broken our contract a dozen ways.

Instead of leaving from eviction as he was suppose to, he is aggressively trying to take half my land, saying it was a sale instead of rent towards joint ownership with me.

I am entering into a court battle with someone who wants to remain ongrid, and take out as many police/BATF as possible, should they come to remove him.

He has done thousands and thousands of dollars worth of damage to my land in less than a year, while supposedly our lawyers were trying to work something out.

I want to let you all be aware to be very cautious about whom you let in to your property. He represented himself as someone that was community minded, and 100% for the contract we drew up, but that is not at all who he is.

So just be extra careful please.

I have learned to reject them first to then see how they react. If they react calmly then i let them know they can come for a visit but if they act out online that is all the sign i need..

try it next time..

Sorry about your misfortune, but if I could still pay you a visit in a couple of months that would be great. I am young and fit enough to help you out with any project you have going on. koots55@gmail.com

See ya later in the spring Koots. :)
