why the random negativity? Would you prefer they had kept the information they researched to themselves?
- sandworm101 5y agoI would prefer they provide information relevant to modern off-grid living. What is required to drill a well? Are there rules regarding potable water storage tanks? How difficult is it to get a septic field permit? Are their rules about running your own diesel generator? How much diesel fuel and/or propane can you store on a site? Are there rules regarding large batteries? Must such batteries live in an out building? I read far to many articles like this that conflate "off grid" with "primitive" living. It gives the false impression that people on off-grid properties somehow must sacrifice modern amenities and play dice with basic sanitation and health codes. They don't. Off grid properties are just as clean and healthy as any modern suburb.
- willvarfar 5y agoIt’s an article on a website called “primitive survivor” and its aimed at its audience. Do start a help website called “big budget off grid” or something ;)
- maxerickson 5y agoI would be surprised if anywhere in the US didn't allow at least 1000 gallon propane tanks. At least, any somewhat rural location that would be sensible to take all the way off grid.
- ghaff 5y agoI am guessing there are about a thousand different answers to those questions depending upon where you live in the US, to say nothing about the rigor of the enforcement.
