Are you one of the many people looking for a simpler, less hectic lifestyle? Instead of running on the consumer nation treadmill like most people, I decided to take action and go in a different direction, which is where my off-the-grid project began. Knowing that other people are searching for the same thing, I decided to document my adventure in great detail for their benefit.
In “Going Off the Grid: The How-To Book of Simple Living and Happiness,” I provide a step-by-step guide on how to downsize your life, find your private piece of land, and then build a self-sustaining home. I recently built my own off-the-grid home in northeast Washington State, so this advice comes from first-hand experience. When building any home, things are not as easy as they appear on those DIY television shows. But with a little knowledge about how the process works in the real world, I believe anyone can achieve their dream of living a more quiet and peaceful life. The hardest part is taking that first step, and this book is the right place to start for any person interested or curious about an off-the-grid lifestyle.
What some people are saying about Going Off the Grid: The How-To Book of Simple Living and Happiness:
“This book is an essential read for anyone yearning to trade the suburban lifestyle for a more simple rural lifestyle.”
“Very knowledgeable and entertaining writer. Covers all the bases. Would recommend to anyone thinking about doing the same.”
“You’ll appreciate his straightforward nonsugar coated words: he tells it like it is and doesn’t attempt to sell readers on a “unicorn” one-size-fits-all solution. The author’s candor about dealing with building contractors alone is worth the price of the book.”
“This book is easily worth the price when you discover how much time and money it will save you. Mr. Collins provides answers to questions that people probably don’t even know they need to ask and his real world experience brings a healthy dose of reality to the idea of building off grid.”
