📌 Solar checks, generator fixes and off-grid insurance notes

Published 13 days ago • 1 min read • Off Grid Living

Hey friend,

The funny thing about off-grid systems is that they usually work right up until they don’t.

The generator won’t start. The solar system feels tired. The insurance paperwork asks questions you should have written down months ago.

This is the kind of thing I’d rather check before fall storms, not after the lights go out.

Here are three practical reads to keep handy.

But before I forget...

Last day to get the $67 price

Today is the final day to get the Herbalism Collective for $67. The price increases to $79 tomorrow.

You don’t need to use every one of the 50-plus resources to make this worthwhile.

A few of the individual courses cost more than the entire bundle.

I’d start with the resources that match skills you already want to learn, such as making herbal oils and salves, building a home apothecary, blending teas, preparing herbal first aid supplies, or making natural skincare.

Hey friend, There’s a big difference between giving kids chores and teaching them how to take responsibility for useful work. Feeding animals. Helping in the garden. Learning how to use tools safely. Cooking. Cleaning up. Figuring out what to do when something doesn’t go according to plan. Those everyday jobs can teach kids an awful lot. That’s why I wanted to let you know about a new free online training happening this Wednesday, August 12. It’s called Raising Successful Kids on the...

An Off Grid Life Thursday reads Hey friend, Deer (and rabbits, actually) can turn your gardening hard work into a buffet if you’re not careful. Use these ideas to keep them out. And get started on growing something new from garden scraps. Then try this recipe for peanut butter bread. It’s a great addition to a school lunchbox or as a healthy after-school snack.

An Off Grid Life Thursday reads August can feel like a blur, especially as I get older. Each year just flies by. I can't believe that our youngest is now a teenager. She was born shortly after I moved up to our Northwest Territories off grid home, where we lived full-time for many years. What about you? I bet you’re balancing harvest, planning next year’s beds, and grabbing family moments before the kids head back to school, or to homeschool. If you have it, now's the time to discover new...
