    Newbie

    I have been reading the forums for a while now, decided to finally join. The wife and I have been prepping for several years. Started soon after we got married, we started with food, weapons, ammo. Then moved onto some of the other stuff like canning stuff.

    One of the biggest things we did to prep was move. We had lived in coastal Ga., we now live in the northern panhandle of Idaho. On the side of a mountain, the house is off grid, with 25 acres, abundant wildlife, for now anyway.

    Just started our first garden with heirloom seeds, things are looking good so far. And absolutely love it up here in the middle of no where....Looking forward to learning from all you fine folks, that have been doing this a lot longer than we have.

    Welcome from FL and nice move!!! Looking forward to see you on the boards.
    You don't need to be the strongest
    or the most intelligent to survive
    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.

    Welcome

    Sounds like you're off to a GREAT start, be sure to share some of your 'offgrid' experiences
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    Welcome to the colony. We have a very nice group of folks here in our family. Tell wifey hope to see her in the ladies form.
    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    Welcome to the both of you! So what type of "off grid" system are you guys using? We are getting ready to build from scratch in the middle of nowhere as well and will be going off grid so I would love to pick ya'lls brains!
    I apologize for nothing...
