We've had a great interest in off-grid living lately, so we thought we'd start a blog to help keep track of what we've found and pass that info on to anyone else who might be interested.
First off, a little background. A little over a year ago, we bought 66 acres of forest near Chapel Hill, TN. This area appears to have been a working farm in the past and still has remnants of 'slave' walls, an old house, and old stand pipe well, and a shed we still use for storage. It's very rough and over grown, which provides a great blank canvas for starting from scratch.
The off-grid idea was always percolating in the background, but with all the events going on in the world and the way things are going in our country, we've felt an added sense of urgency.
Here are the primary things we're concerned with getting in place.
1. Goats
2. Long term propane storage to run a generator
3. Experimenting with solar
4. Getting a well drilled that can run off solar pumps
5. Clearing trees and building split rail fences.
