Family Considerations for Prepping and Off Grid Living

In today's episode we talk about living off grid with a family, setting up a homestead from nothing but forest or brush with kids, and putting your priorities in order the same way we would with standard prepping: water, shelter, food.

We touch on temporary shelters (log cabins, existing structure, steel barns and shops, barndaminiums, wall tents, and RVs), and talk about the importance of avoiding debt if possible.

Learn about practical solutions to laundry, dryers, water storage, black water, composting toilets, setting up RV septic systems, and more!

We also go into detailed food production numbers.  How many square feet of garden per person will feed your family year-round?  How many fruit trees should you plant?  How many berry bushes and grape vines per person is ideal?  What about asparagus crowns, rhubarb, and other perennials?

How many meat birds will your family need to raise per year?  How about egg layers?

We will present you with the math we've learned over the past 16 years of living off the grid.
