While there is plenty to legitimately criticize about the health care system, it is certainly not designed to keep you "enslaved" to it. Modern medicine, despite its warts, is one of the greatest achievements in human history. My dad is still living on his own at 90 years old. Without modern medicine he would have died when his appendix ruptured 55 years ago. Talented surgeons operated and saved him. Without modern medicine I would have grown up without a father.

How much money do you need per year? Do you make money? If so how much? Just curious, thanks!

@@davidlenz6309 that’s incredible. There is plenty of good and plenty of bad. We can do amazing things today and can save a lot of lives that would have been lost. It’s a calculated risk not having health insurance. I’m in my 20s, eat great, stay active. I just feel it’s not worth having for me in my situation. I know an 82 year old man that lives similarly and he says if you don’t go to the doctor you’ll find there’s nothing wrong with you. That’s a stretch of course but there is some truth to that. And they push wayyy too many meds nowadays.

@@TheMiaOrange Finding land is hard. Affordability was one of my biggest challenge. After that away into the property, (roads) water, can I grow crops, will it hold livestock. All important things to look for. My property can do most of that, but water. I need a well, but the cost is beyond what I can afford. In the winter I can use snow for all my needs, but summer is another story. If I had to do it again I would look for water. I will set up rainwater catchment system, but it will have to be taken down in winter. Many things to think about.😵

same, the thought of waking up an not worrying about jobs or money or societal BS sounds so refreshing. I currently slave away 40plus hours a week as a mechanic just to barely keep my nose above water. I cant tell you how many times Ive just wanted to pack it all up an take the risk.

I agree with what your saying being off the grid and the freedom you get from it. Yet as far as a mortgage and utilities goes there is no debt and there all prepaid. Ever since 1933 there is no true money of value in circulation. All there is are negotiable instruments. You can create your own . Yet any corporations (cable,credit cards,other utilities and so on) that sends you so called "bills" yet are actually statements must also send you a way so "pay",settle, zero out the account. So at the bottom of all of these "bills" statements there is a section that you tear off its called a coupon. You use this coupon to then accept the statement for value and to zero out the account... The goal is to wake up and free as many people as possible. We are not meant to be slaves to this system being tied down and working a 9-5 job to then be paid with either digits on a screen or federal reserve notes aka negotiable instruments that us as the living men and women can create our selves... This place can be heaven or hell. You can be a slave or free. You can work a 9-5 and be a slave to the system or let the system provide for you and this place can be ones own playground... Hint your not a us citizen

I was in the same boat. My wife and I currently live in the middle of the city with hardly any yard. We wanted out too. You can do it my friend. Treat your current living situation as a homestead classroom for the next year or so. We started by growing most of our produce in buckets. That will teach you a whole lot about gardening and it’s easy to maintain with very little space. Best food you’ll ever have and you’ll save money on groceries. We got 6 chickens and built a small coop from pallets and scrap wood on our back patio. We get half a dozen fresh eggs every single day and they’re amazing. We aren’t wealthy by any means but we found some cheap land in the Appalachian foothills. 7.5 acres with a stream, no zoning (very important) so we jumped on it. The biggest thing to remember is you’ll have to make some sacrifices and trust that they’ll pay off. I absolutely LOVED riding my Harley. I was actually riding it the day I met my wife and we rode that thing all over. It was like our thing. We decided to sell it and paid cash for a custom cabin shell. We work on it just about every weekend so we can get it finished and moved in full time. Anything we don’t have room for or don’t need is getting sold and used to pay for supplies and material. It feels overwhelming but you just gotta remember the reward. Minimize, make sacrifices, improvise, ask for help. When you finally get there you won’t miss about the matrix my friend. God bless you on your journey. I know you can do it!

You got this !

Do you still have to pay property tax? Ive seen off grid people on youtube who say they dont make much money but im always confused how they pay property taxes because they are so high now.

@BIGBigBoiNICK you can't escape property tax. Out in the rural areas it's super cheap. I'm paying about $700 a year for property tax.

Take your time, get advice and go with your guy.

Which province are you going to build in? I’m curious how it will be with the weather.1

Beautifully said my friend, anyone ain't convinced now then I don't know what to tell you, it's either for you or not

In the UK and own a house but i want to live in more of a hybrid way. The idea is to keep working my stressfree job that i enjoy, downsize my house to something small and easy maintenance plus buy a small woodland. We can't live on raw land here easily so i would build a simple cabin for "storage and welfare" then spend summers fulltime in the woodland offgrid and winters in the house. If i manage to get the land close to my home and work then i can come and go as is necessary.

Oh, you poor man, only 30 and have 4 kids. Your wife probably feels the same way. If you can get her on board to like that lifestyle that's half the battle. The kids will oppose leaving their friends but believe your and their capabilities. You can do it!

...start praying & meditating and you will find yourself. Stay centered and focused on what you desire and always stay positive no matter what is going on around you. Keep your circle small and don't waste your time or attention on anyone or anything negative. Do you and make your dreams come true. You got this!!!

I know it's probably strange to ask, but one worry I would have about this lifestyle is aging. How is it now that you're getting older? Do you have good savings or worry you won't be able to support yourself as things get more difficult?

@@wulergaming We have been debt free for over 19 yrs and have saved, plus we never fully expect to retire, we are people who like to be busy doing something and both our hobbies will afford us to make money at craft fairs and shows. We live with very low grid and will only need money for property taxes and insurance. We also find with aging that getting things like hay is becoming an issue but have friends who offer their help and we either pay them or have them over for supper and they are happy with that. We do know we will most likely downsize on animals in the next few years as well. Hope that answered your question.

​@@HollowDistrictstart small. Learn to garden in pots buckets, grow bags or if possible a community garden. Some towns/cities have a place you can garden for free. Or ask a neighbor, share the harvest. Some plants like squash, tomatoes, cucumbers you only need a couple plants. Green beans you want a 6 - 10 foot row and the same 2- 4 rows of sweet corn. And potatoes keep well so plant the same. A couple green bell pepper plants, a small row of peas or carrots. If you like a row of lettuce, or spinach. You can grow a bigger garden when you learn the basics. If you want to volunteer or share a space place an advertisement on you local for sale site on internet or a post at the grocery store billboard or at TSC billboard. Learn from a farmer, volunteer to help him to get knowledge.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT TO START building your future - here are just a few things you can do now. 1. to buy your land you'll need cash so don't spend money you earn or have already saved unless you absolutely have to !!! Save every penny you can on top of that. Enjoy being frugal. 2. Do not buy new cars or fancy gadgets, save your money and it will add up fast. 3. Get a second job if you can and save that money as well.. 4. live at home if you can 5. Do not eat out or drink or smoke or do any drugs - these things eat up your savings. 6 Start shopping at farmer markets, shop at used stores and flee markets and discount stores. Retrain your mind against waste. 7. Grow a garden on someone else's property for now (with permission lol) to learn how to farm and can etc. and to save on groceries. Sell your extra veggies at a food stand or market. Save your profits. 8. Watch UKposts videos on the subject or related subjects like wood working, mechanics etc. 9. Make lists of things you learn on UKposts that you'll need to remember and things you will need to buy. 10. Collect used tools cheap - New tools look pretty but old tools work just as well unless they are broken or they were junk to start with. Old tools have character and they are cheap. 11. Learn about setting up solar, wind and water turbine power systems. 12. Learn about how to build an out house. 13. If you cannot make sacrifices forget about living off grid. 14. Get in good all around shape and health you'll need it. 15. Get use to living on an early schedule. 16. Visit local homesteaders to learn and get a feel for it - offer to help for free to learn ... The world is yours get creative and you can make your future happen soon !!! Good Luck
