Thank you for the welcome! Yes, I feel like I've lived so far for other people ... now I get to have some fun and see the world. Yay.
Welcome Trish!! This is the place to find out anything and everything about the lifestyle! Tell you what I am interested in now, is your off grid adventure, have wanted something like it since I was a kid! Would be happy on a good ole regular farm too! I am going to travel the world and find the best place to set up shop! I will be checking out the good ole USA first ( in a Truck) of course. Best of luck to you!
Hi Trish. I read your bio. I lived in AZ and met some off gridders back in the early 90s. Lol. :) Good luck at school!
If our country keeps going the way its going....and the SHTF.....I'm gonna go off grid......way off grid...till the dust dies down and I see who is gonna be running our poor country...
