The United States is entering what are sure to be desperate times economically. One economist, Peter Schiff, Says that Due to the Feds Antics, the Market is Very Dangerous Now, but what economic mastermind Dr. Jim Willie Says is the Most Terrifying: “The U.S. Dollar is Now a Matter of National Security Due to Poor Decisions.”
If you listen to what Jim Willie reports, countries all over the world are dumping the US Dollar in mass, and the problem is so grave, that the Fed is operating with a Top Secret slush fund related to national security.
The slush fund has been purchasing the bonds as quickly as they are dumped, which has allowed the yield on Treasuries to remain virtually unchanged, but Americans should know, the stability we are experiencing (if you call last week stable) is 100% artificial and WILL NOT last. With that said, it might be wise to look into going “off the grid.” The following may help you understand what mistakes not to make!
Want to build your own life back on the land, instead of keeping pace in this insane society headed for implosion?
There are lots of things that you’ll have to learn the hard way in order to go off grid.
The path is not easy, but that’s no reason not to get started, and move forward on your ultimate plan to live more independently.
This off-grid couple, at Fouch-o-matic Off Grid, had to relearn some of the basics to figure out how to live an alternative lifestyle without losing their minds, or facing impossible, labor-intensive tasks.

Here are a few tips from those who’ve learned by trial, error and experience.
1) Solar power is worth it
2) Plants won’t grow without (good) soil, and you best be adding some organic material to your soil in order to enrich it.
3) Water runs downhill… a source of water that is already elevated can feed pressured water to your dwelling – gravity can work in your favor.
4) Carrying water is grueling and “demoralizing” work… figure out plumbing any way you can.
5) Batteries run out, and LED lights can save a lot of energy when you need it the most; your usage will have to adapt to the available capacity.
6) Bears, etc. are attracted to trash and food waste. Plans must include strategies to keep away dangerous animals that could attack your family or pets.
7) Splitting firewood requires lots of tedious work.
8) The couple’s yurt was very well-insulated in the cold winter, but was very hot during summer, and needed additional ventilation.
9) Temporary is longer than you think – so plan accordingly, and allow for the possibility of “dealing” for much longer than you anticipated or hoped.
10) You can do things you didn’t know you could do.
Not only did these homesteaders find that they had to humble themselves to frequently learning new things, but they discovered that many of the things they needed to learn are strikingly simple.
So simple, it’s like they should have thought of it already. But you don’t know what you don’t know!
So try, and persist until you’ve made it and your dream of dropping out of the modern world for a better life can succeed.

Off The Grid – Great!! But better do it in South America where it is usually legal and socially acceptable. Your money will go a lot further in Latin countries for your basic and start-up expenses anyhow. Those who stay in the US, on or off the grid, are not likely to be successful against a totalitarian full court push IMHO. They are pushing for not allowing anyone to live off the grid in the US anyhow.
My other advice for anyone in Latin America is DONT GET FOOLED INTO BUYING REAL ESTATE. I know many who have “bought” property and they have all found that they have been cheated within a few years. In any case property costs way too much for “gringos” to buy in Latin America when one considers how cheap rent is. $100 a month can rent a nice home in Mexico. We are not mortals and rent for the rest of our projected life is much cheaper. Plus one has more flexibility to pull up and move when they rent. Even in the best case there is no guarantee that bought land wont be taken from you, just like it is in the US, or worse. There are possiblities to live off the grid without paying rent too, but of course one must be prepared to be asked to move sometimes.
I agree.
