Hey /diy/, its been a while.

I plan on living off the grid for a long while.
No power no heat no plumbing no nothing. Just an dude in the woods.

I need some advice/ infographics on how to live really cheap or how to live out in the wilderness.

I've seen such info on here before so that's why I'm asking you guys first.

Also farming info and eco architecture as well...

Thanks in advance for any help!

srsly. buy it. altough about 90% of the whole disc is more or less some shit about free energy and despite the fact that the whole disc is a pure mess. the bonus files, especially the survival part is gold worth for your intentions. i´ve bought it about 3-4 years ago. im pretty sure they added some more stuff in the meantime.

If it's not public land, then you'll be trespassing on someone's property.

If it is public land, then you cannot build any structure on it to live in that has more than 3 walls (i.e. it cannot be fully enclosed like a house). Likewise you'll have to explore the other specific laws regarding use of public land to see if it's allowed to "develop" the land in any way (farming, etc) or if you must leave everything natural and intact.

Regardless of "public land" provisions if you do this thing, in our current socio-political environment, law enforcement (rangers, police, DHS, etc) will automatically assume you're either a criminal on the run, or are a potential criminal looking to hide your activities; get used to being hassled by them on a regular basis. If you have any income beyond the pittance allowed under law as payment for "casual labor" and you don't pay taxes on it, the IRS will come looking for you regardless of being on public land.

Really, the whole "living entirely off the grid" thing is a thing of the past in this day and age. Maybe 50 years or more ago you could do it, these days you're considered a criminal or potential criminal if you do it.

ok so I just went through ALL my infographics (have around 100) and honestly, I'm now done for ones I think you'll actually find useful. Most of them are themed to survival.

Also, you're away of /out/ right?
I never really go to out, well I do, ofc, but not the board. But that's their thing, I think.

ok last one/4
honestly I think the figures on this are probably a load of crap but maybe you'll have forgotten something really obvious or this will make you think of something...

have a backup plan. However much you want to get away, make sure you can enjoy it for years, let someone know where you are and have a means of getting help when you fall down and sprain your ankle. I know it's not what you want but shit, hypothermia sounds like a megashit thing you'll probably not actually die from and then 'have' to spend the rest of your time in a city/town living with. Have a safety net until you're at least 2 years settled and secure. Just don't want you dying man, really admire your wish to go live out there and hope you do.

Also, I reckon research into temperature of food and diet is going to be key to your long term survival. You'll need to know seasons, gathering times, fish etc. abundance and scarcity, then you'll need to know how to make food last without a fridge. Smoked meats, jerky, salting, grain storage, bread making, drying food effectively. Basically you gotta learn moisture.

Not the guy who posted but when talking about bacterias our definitions of species don't work well. On one hand, they are generic enough to have sex even between bacterias from totally different families, on the other hand the same species can be good, neutral, bad or terrible depending on the strain.

But I have no idea about the validity of the pic with the exception of the ginger one.

well, the ginger is true, but you need to eat it slowly over a period of days. Too much ginger will give you the shits and that isn't any good.

How is getting a job at a farm "living off the grid"? Sounds more like "living outside the city". Which is cool, but when I see the weekly "ima gonna go live innawoods" thread, it makes me wonder if any sane person ever actually does it. Yeah, we all go camping, but very few normal people live "off the grid".

For starters, if you use the internet, you probably are not cut out to live "off the grid".

>> No.551708

>>551482
it doesn't say its bad for you. Maybe it suggests eating sparingly because its harder to get and/or you don't need much of it.

The Farmer's Handbook was designed to be low-/no-tech, even for things like building a water tank. It was made for extremely poor farmers in third-world countries, and I find it very helpful in my gardening.

Seaweed contains iodine. That's my guess. Although iodized salt does too and we all eat a lot of that. It looks like it's organized by "You need to eat a lot of this," rather than "you shouldn't eat a lot of this."

It's not a permanent job. It's more "I'll let you crash here if you help me with X, Y, and Z".
Doing odd jobs for randoms you pass by is off-grid. Unless you're paying taxes and having everybody know where you are.

Living off the grid can be taken a number of ways. People like you might see it as an ALICE pack full of ammo, and a wooden shack in a forest. Other folks find self sufficiency while living within city limits. Using solar power, home gardening, and community networks to provide for themselves and loved ones independently of the main infrastructure provided by the government.
