Frugal Off Grid About Me

About me

I didn’t grow up with money.

I experienced homelessness.

I started off-grid with almost nothing.

Everything here is built from real experience, not theory.

FRUGAL OFF GRID LIBRARY

If you’re looking for a calmer place to learn, I’ve organized my longer-form notes and videos in the Frugal Off Grid Library.

It’s not social media it’s where the foundational material lives.

This site is for you if:

You want to reduce bills and dependency

You value freedom over convenience

You’re willing to start simple and build over time

This is NOT for you if:

You want luxury off-grid living instantly

You’re looking for shortcuts

You don’t want to learn or do the work

Everything off-grid eventually comes back to these four systems in this order.

You Don’t Need Money, You Need a Plan

Most people give up on off-grid living because they’re told they need:

Thousands of dollars

Expensive land

Perfect conditions

Professional builders

That’s wrong.

I built an off-grid life starting with almost nothing, and I document the exact systems, decisions, and mistakes so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

This site exists for one reason:

To help normal people build a simple, resilient, off-grid life without going broke.
