Hey all! My name is James and I’ve been dreaming of living off the grid for years and am finally in a position to start planning for the jump! I wanted to throw a line out there to all of you, I’ve been trying to get some basic information together, but frankly, the amount of stuff I don’t know has become quite daunting, I just don’t know where to begin. I’m very attracted to the idea of a tiny house and would want to join a community with a focus on self sustainability not only as individuals, but as a community. Locations I’ve considered include California, Arizona and Colorado, but I’m very open to other settlements and communities, mostly in terms of location, I just need a change of pace (I’ve lived in North Western New Jersey most of my life). Mostly, I’m interested in hearing about your experiences and the problems you encountered, as well as some pointers in regards to attaining a truly synergistic, self-sustainable lifestyle in such a community. Thanks you all for your help and your time!
