Download or read book Off the Grid written by Phillip Vannini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-grid isn’t a state of mind. It isn’t about someone being out of touch, about a place that is hard to get to, or about a weekend spent offline. Off-grid is the property of a building (generally a home but sometimes even a whole town) that is disconnected from the electricity and the natural gas grid. To live off-grid, therefore, means having to radically re-invent domestic life as we know it, and this is what this book is about: individuals and families who have chosen to live in that dramatically innovative, but also quite old, way of life. This ethnography explores the day-to-day lives of people in each of Canada’s provinces and territories living off the grid. Vannini and Taggart demonstrate how a variety of people, all with different environmental constraints, live away from contemporary civilization. The authors also raise important questions about our social future and whether off-grid living creates an environmentally and culturally sustainable lifestyle practice. These homes are experimental labs for our collective future, an intimate look into unusual contemporary domestic lives, and a call to the rest of us leading ordinary lives to examine what we take for granted. This book is ideal for courses on the environment and sustainability as well as introduction to sociology and introduction to cultural anthropology courses.

Book Synopsis The Last American Man by : Elizabeth Gilbert
Download or read book The Last American Man written by Elizabeth Gilbert and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: _____________ 'It is almost impossible not to fall under the spell of Eustace Conway ... his accomplishments, his joy and vigor, seem almost miraculous' - New York Times Review of Books 'Gilbert takes a bright-eyed bead on Eustace, hitting him square with a witty modernist appraisal of folkloric American masculinity' - The Times 'Conversational, enthusiastic, funny and sharp, the energy of The Last American Man never ebbs' - New Statesman _____________ A fascinating, intimate portrait of an endlessly complicated man: a visionary, a narcissist, a brilliant but flawed modern hero At the age of seventeen, Eustace Conway ditched the comforts of his suburban existence to escape to the wild. Away from the crushing disapproval of his father, he lived alone in a teepee in the mountains. Everything he needed he built, grew or killed. He made his clothes from deer he killed and skinned before using their sinew as sewing thread. But he didn't stop there. In the years that followed, he stopped at nothing in pursuit of bigger, bolder challenges. He travelled the Mississippi in a handmade wooden canoe; he walked the two-thousand-mile Appalachian Trail; he hiked across the German Alps in trainers; he scaled cliffs in New Zealand. One Christmas, he finished dinner with his family and promptly upped and left - to ride his horse across America. From South Carolina to the Pacific, with his little brother in tow, they dodged cars on the highways, ate road kill and slept on the hard ground. Now, more than twenty years on, Eustace is still in the mountains, residing in a thousand-acre forest where he teaches survival skills and attempts to instil in people a deeper appreciation of nature. But over time he has had to reconcile his ambitious dreams with the sobering realities of modernity. Told with Elizabeth Gilbert's trademark wit and spirit, The Last American Man is an unforgettable adventure story of an irrepressible life lived to the extreme. The Last American Man is a New York Times Notable Book and National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist.

Book Synopsis Stalking the Wild Asparagus by : Euell GIBBONS
Download or read book Stalking the Wild Asparagus written by Euell GIBBONS and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly sixty years ago an unknown writer named Euell Gibbons (1911-1975) presented a book on gathering wild foods to the New York publisher David McKay Co. Together they settled on the title, Stalking the Wild Asparagus. No one expected that this iconic title would become part of the American language, nor did they anticipate the revival of interest in natural food and in environmental preservation in which this book played a major role. Euell Gibbons became an unlikely celebrity and made many television appearances. Stalking the Wild Asparagus has sold the better part of half a million copies since the original publication and has been continuously in print since 1962. Euell Gibbons was one of the few people in this country to devote a considerable part of his life to the adventure of living off the land. He sought out wild plants all over North America and turned ordinary fruits and vegetable into delicious dishes. His book includes recipes for vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins and twenty different pies. Plus jellies, jams, teas, and wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup.

Download or read book The Way Home written by Mark Boyle and published by ONEWorld Publications. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 11pm when I checked my email for the last time and turned off my phone for what I hoped would be forever. No running water, no car, no electricity or any of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing machine, radio or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce. THE WAY HOME is a modern-day Walden -- an honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life lived in nature without modern technology. Mark Boyle, author of THE MONEYLESS MAN, explores the hard won joys of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make fire, collecting water from the stream, foraging and fishing. What he finds is an elemental life, one governed by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck, water, and fire - much the same life we have lived for most of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight into what it means to be human at a time when the boundaries between man and machine are blurring.

Book Synopsis Earth & Water; The No-BS Guide To Off-Grid Living by : Kelly Hohnholz
Download or read book Earth & Water; The No-BS Guide To Off-Grid Living written by Kelly Hohnholz and published by ReVolt Power. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mind, Once Expanded, Never Returns To It's Original Dimensions." - Thomas Jefferson Much like the previous "No-BS" guides, the premise is to look at the hurdles to the personal independence of off-grid living, plod through the options that are currently available and then boil all that information down. The plan is to make the information as simple and accessible as possible, so that can be digested by the reader; and employed in a manner that best suits their needs, budget and abilities. This guide will be tackling the 'Big Five' logistical issues facing people wanting to create an off-grid home & life. These are: 1) Power 2) Water 3) Sanitation 4) Climate Control (Heating and Cooling) 5) Food Storage (including refrigeration) Again, while this sort of information is available currently, it's spread all over the internet, consisting of videos, blogs, articles, and who knows what else. Like most of these topics, a lot of what's out there is long, wordy, confusing and in some cases conflicting. "A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others and monkeys learn through repetition." This is something I've demonstrated an ability in, to take complex subjects and present them to the various learning styles in a way that everyone can process, understand and implement for themselves. And these lessons encompass both the good and the bad. I've owned my tiny house since 2013 and this guide will be written in plain talk using real world, No-BS lessons I've learned over the last 9 years dealing with the above five subjects. Some of these lessons have had steep (and expensive) learning curves, but better to learn from my mistakes than to wander in blindly and repeat them. Whether you're looking to reduce your daily grind, take a break from the big city, or just want to reclaim some of your privacy that's been lost in the digital age, then this is going to be the guide for you. Earth & Water was the last of a 3 part series I started in May of 2020 during the height of the Pandemic. This book consists of 131 pages broken down into seven chapters which are: Water, Power, Climate Control, Refrigeration, Sanitation, Legal Ramifications and Tips. The guide walks you through planning these critical areas with plenty of pictures, careful explanations and a sprinkling of humor. This book will be useful to everyone from the novice to the expert alike.
