Seems like a good lifestyle.

Yes you can. It’s a lifestyle that you chose to attempt.

Are you asking if this lifestyle is good for you? I can’t answer that for you, because I do t know you.

I research these lifestyles and have been homesteading for six months. Best decision I’ve ever made.

That looks idyllic, but I'd never do it. I'd love to rent a place like that for a week though.

Fucking white privilege... Wonder what obummer would have to say about them Canadians building it themselves.

My house is 100% solar with generator back up. No power lines come to it. The only infrastructure supplied is internet, and propane 3 times a year. Can definitely do without the propane if nessecary. Just switched over to 24v lithium batteries. We have every amenity as a normal house. It's really cheaper when you factor in maintenance and upgrading the system, but totally independent. That's the benefit.

Typo...NOT really cheaper

did you go with a 24 or 48v system? what batteries did you choose?

Originally 24v, but switched to 48v a few years ago. There's not a huge difference, but the batteries seem to hold up a little longer w/48v. We purchased used hospital back up system lithium 24v batteries. Most hospitals replace them at 90%. This was the best upgrade hands down and very reasonable. 4 of them peplaced a bank of 20 lead acid batteries and perform way better. There's a website that sells them $3-400 each(when in stock). I can post if anyone is interested.

Being a pompous jerk who loves to TALK and TALK and TALK (kiss their own ass) about how THEY are doing things "correctly" and the REST of us are stooges of some kind? Sure. SURELY they have to pay property tax on the land AT LEAST. HOW much LAND is THEIRS where they live? Or are they squatting?

Living in SQUALOR has it's DANGERS too. WHAT will they do in there's a FIRE? RAID by murderous sundry murderers? Wild animals? DISEASE? INJURIES? do they CALL someone? USE us when they WANT to?
