Looking to learn anything that will promote self-sufficiency

[before_listing images=https://www.off-grid.net/wp-content/uploads/f4a0b649625789abefe747d05895c0a8.jpg youtube=null] I am a beginner in my research of living an off-grid lifestyle. I reject the big system that seems to have no real accountability measures in place. My dream is to live in a mortgage free “tiny house” and work land raising organic fruits, vegetables, and livestock. I would also like to incorporate fish and game to my provisions. For services I am unable to provide for myself I would like the benefit of my payment to ultimately land on a local’s table rather than in the pocket of a greedy CEO. I am looking to be taught, I am a student homesteader in search of practical knowledge that will enable me to live in a more self-reliant manner. I work as a nurses aid and attend nursing school. I have an army background and my hobbies include ham radio, gardening,hunting,fishing,camping,hiking,and wood working.[landbuddy_listing images=https://www.off-grid.net/wp-content/uploads/f4a0b649625789abefe747d05895c0a8.jpg youtube=null]

We are in your neck of the woods, so to speak. We are looking at many ways to get off the grid also and have learned many things but need to learn much more.

Hi Mike, I love the idea of living off grid and like you am learning everything I can. I think I could transition easily and would someday like to teach others what I have learned. I’m in northern Illinois. I’m glad to see that their are other like minded people out there. Keep learning and make it happen.
