Going Off Grid In Under 30 Days for $25,000

Video Description

We built an off-grid Micro Cabin living system at the end of 2023 for less than $25k! It took us 30 days of building to finish all of the off-grid systems for shelter, water, energy, sanitation, & food. We're tying together solar panels, a prefab shed, chickens, rainwater catchment, raised beds, methane digesters, and more into a fully functioning off-grid home. We hope this experiment shows you that affordable, sustainable, modern living is possible with off-grid systems!

Welcome to our 30 day off-grid build for October of 2023! We’re assembling sustainable, affordable, off-grid systems to provide for the 5 basic physiological needs for 2-4 humans: Creative shelter, fresh water, green sanitation, clean energy, and local food are things that make the world truly better and more enjoyable. Beyond having fun building all of this and sharing it with you, one big goal for this project is to clearly illustrate how creative & sustainable solutions can solve our housing affordability crisis and free young people to avoid working paycheck to paycheck to survive in our modern economy. We need a fresh vision for living well!
