Build Your Own Wind Generator

If you're serious about living off the grid you have probably looked into buying solar panels or wind generators. The problem is that it's just too expensive to buy enough solar panels or a big enough wind generator without breaking the bank. We've been there and have a solution for you. Our plans:

  • are easy to read and follow
  • produce over 1000 watts of power
  • can be built for under $100 USD
  • can be made from readily available material
  • are easy to build and assemble
  • are tough enough to endure the tough Canadian climate
  • look good when finished!

We've been where you are right now. When we first started out living off grid we barely had enough money to build our house.

Make Your Own Biodiesel

The Answer to our family’s search for an alternative fuel to run our home and our truck happened quite by accident. Here is the story of how we found bio diesel:

You see we ran a summer French fry stand in a popular vacation destination for over a year and every time that the fryer oil had to be changed we stored the old vegetable oil in the 5 gallon pails that the new oil came in. It seemed like a good way to store it for later use. Being the conserver type I didn’t want to throw it away either, but what could I use it for? At this point I didn’t know what bio diesel was.
