A Practical and Spiritual (But Not Technical) Guide to Setting Up an Off-Grid World
I’ve set up two off-grid worlds in two different countries now. I’ve also watched a heck of a lot of people go off-grid, both in the real world and online. We all make mistakes, and I’ve learned from a good 75% of mine. So I thought I'd share my winnings with you.

By far the biggest problem we all face when moving off-grid is organisation. Where do we start? It can be pretty overwhelming. There are some fundamentals for creating a functioning off-grid world in the long term, and if you set about things in the right order at the outset, you can save yourself a lot of agravation. It’s not easy to complete a building project at the best of times, but an off-grid homestead is a real challenge.
Who is this roadmap for?
- This roadmap is ideal for people planning an off-grid adventure. Oh how I wish I'd read this before I started my first project!
- Have you just bought land or begun your off-grid project? Are you wondering where the heck to begin? This roadmap is for you!
- Are you confused by the mass of choices regarding power systems, livestock, food growing approaches, shelters? Yes there are zillions of options when you go off-grid. Yurt or campervan? Ram pump or solar pump? What this roadmap does is give an overview with the pros and cons of each element of your off-grid world to help you make the right choice for you and your land.

Earth Whispering?
The off-grid roadmap is primarily practical, but I did also add a special Earth Whispering Guide at the end of each chapter. This can be ignored of course. But for me this is the whole beauty of living off-grid, and it's the part which makes these off-grid adventures worthwhile. There are plenty of ideas on how to connect with your land and create a magical bond in a way which works for you which can be such a life-changing experience.
