What we’re about
Welcome wilderness lovers far and wide!
The purpose of Off the Grid Communities is to explore opportunities to live on beautiful, wilderness land with people who value freedom and living in harmony with nature! We organize presentations and talks on all things off-grid, as well as socials with like-minded people. We want to bring like-minded people together to learn new skills related to survival and thriving off grid. Below is a list of topics we wish to explore with you in this meetup:
- How to live off-grid
- Best cabins/dwellings for different locations and different goals
- Best solar panels to power your dwelling
- Regenerative agriculture practices
- Wild food foraging
- Environmentally responsible waste reduction and waste management
- Toilets that eliminate black water/sewage (composting and incineration toilets)
- Greywater processing systems
- How to form an intentional community
- Hunting and trapping responsibly
- Solar-assisted cars!
- The benefits of living in a de-centralized manner
- Wilderness survival skills
- Alternative structures and alternative supply chains
- Alternative means of exchange
- and much more!
Our core values include environmental sustainability, community collaboration, bodily autonomy, consent, individual responsibility and individual freedom.
Do you have a desire to learn more about all the wonderful possibilities as well as the challenges of living off grid? Do you have a desire to spend more time in nature and experience where your food comes from? Do you crave a life living by nature's seasonal and quotidian rhythms?
Join us on this adventure to learn more, get to know each other and get to know the land and skills that will help us thrive in beautiful wilderness places!
