New Member Introduction
Hello everyone,
I just found this site recently and enjoyed the variety of threads and decided to sign up and participate.
A little background info on me:
I grew up in north Georgia with 2 working farms in the family. We basically provided everything for ourselves. For us, meat came from the cow (or whatever) not the grocery store. Needless to say, I grew up hunting, fishing, foraging, butchering, canning, roaming the woods and doing what was necessary to provide for ourselves. All the while, with my grandfather teaching me about basic survival.
To this day, I still do all of these things. But, I took it one step further. I now reside in Colorado, bought some acreage 20 years ago and have mostly lived off the grid since that time. My first cabin I built the old fashioned way: harvested the timber from the land, hand peeled the logs, etc. A true log cabin.
I am an avid DIY'er and strive to be as self sufficient as possible all while living off the grid. I have had grand successes and miserable failures. But, I often wonder what other people are up to. Thus, the reason for joining this site.
With 20 years experience at living off the grid, I have learned a few things that I think I can share. However, I realize I will never know it all and there are 10 different ways to accomplish the same thing correctly. I hope to not only share my experiences and knowledge but also learn from the experiences of other members.
I look forward to some good discussions.
Cheers,
Offgridliving
