Welcome to the Hippie Wanabees!

Ever thought of living off the grid and being self sufficient? Me too! So this is a meetup for nurturing those aspirations, and see if we can come close to making it a reality someday. If you are interested in meeting people who are curious about, aspire to, have experience in, an expert in, and/or considering living a self sustaining lifestyle off the grid and/or living off the land someday I hope you'll join us to share knowledge, experience, and ideas so we can all learn about how to go about achieving this goal. Let's talk about the baby steps needed to get us started, hopefully we'll have some show and tell from those already living the lifestyle and living green and healthy, for those who are planning to to be green and self-sufficient. Ideas ideas ideas! Let's start sharing.

I'm a wannabe. I have been reading up on a lot of information online and off some books to get me started. Have been prepping my small backyard as a training ground for the big one in my future plans. If you are in the same mindset, let's get together and make this group work for all of us. I am not an expert by any means, but I hope to be someday.

We've come a long way from the 60s and 70s hippies who've tried to do this. The advent of new technologies means you can live in wide open country, yet you don't have to give up the creature comforts you enjoy. These days you don't have to be in the city to enjoy them. Let's think self sufficient (or semi-self sufficient), sustainable living, organic, clean air, clean water, clean energy, renewable resources, eco-friendly, permaculture, think hippie in the new millenium...neo-hippie :) It's doable people!!!
