Total Off Grid Living
Filed under
Sustainable Living Blog
Check out this interesting story of Keith Thompson, a guy who decided to live completely off the Grid.
Keith started with a plot of land that had no road, no power or water lines,and no access to any kind of utilities. He built his house by hand , dug a well, created a solar power system and is living his dream of off grid living.
Check out his story…..



Wow, this guy has it figured out. Good for him!
Great. Inspirational. More power to you “Skeeter” (no pun intended).
Hey Skeeter,
I just viewed your youtube again for about the 4th or 5th time. Really enjoy my learning from your wisdom and experience. Keep up the great work “off the grid”= = way to go!

I wish I could do this. How did you get the money to start up? I.e buy the land, the building equipment, etc?
the guy is an inspiration. great video
Me too! Where did he get all this money to do all this expensive buying?
I think he talks about how he goes out to work? but your right commercially built solar systems are very expensive. Unless you build them yourself, that’s what my site is about.
I love the whole video particularly how he wraps it up!
“I don’t have monthly Bills”…
“Here in America where use to a high level of material comfort, … I just don’t want to pay for it for the rest of my life !! wooo hoo,
He’d done a great thing, he’s eliminated a mortgage! Electric and water bill.
For ever !
Can he do better?
Absolutely, how about implementing a food productions system, like Aquaponics, that gets you fish/shrimp and 100% organic Vegies, free for life,
or raising chickens for meat/ eggs, well, not for life but at least for 3-5 years of eggs.
Thats what my site is about, come have a look.
he’s in his fifties…..
