He and his wife and kids are working to get off the grid in Kentucky. <br />And now it looks like we will be heading down south in a couple of years to do the same. <br />I've lived off the grid a couple of times in my life so if you want solicited or unsolicited advice just ask or don't as the case may be. <br />Just remember It's as simple or as complicated as you choose to make it. <br /><br />Hugs <br /><br />your sister from different parentsDothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841500661349030418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-80368009742618418332011-05-29T14:22:38.046-05:002011-05-29T14:22:38.046-05:00You go girl!You go girl!Art Blomquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459183702519561248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-70036211355351804802011-05-26T11:13:51.521-05:002011-05-26T11:13:51.521-05:00The hippies in the picture (I'm assuming it is...The hippies in the picture (I'm assuming it is you two at a younger age) look much MUCH warmer than it is in C.IL. now.

We want an earth home with attached cellar and greenhouse and lots of garden. The problem is the more I study, the more I see just how difficult the task will be. My latest research has been in the area of saving seed. Wow, that is far more complicated than i thought. I'm trying to figure out who to breed my goats and yaks to and I see I have to study line breeding and out breeding in plants too. Along with how to keep the breeds pure for many cross with other species for instance beets which breeds with about everybody.<br /><br />Good luck! I hope your dream comes true.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845252729189467819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-74430886446523751032011-05-25T15:37:41.831-05:002011-05-25T15:37:41.831-05:00You, mybabyjohn, are excellent.You, mybabyjohn, are excellent.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-32988320869304232732011-05-25T06:33:16.721-05:002011-05-25T06:33:16.721-05:00Gnarly man, totally radical.
