      Off the Grid Living - Calvin Hale

      Introduction

      Why would anyone want to life off the grid?  The real question is why anyone would want to live on it!  The trouble with ‘on grid’ life is that it is expensive.  We go to the store to buy heavily processed products, packaged in layers of card and plastic, transported thousands of miles for our convenience.  Most of these products are full of sugars, salts and stabilizers.  Even fresh produce may have come from another continent, stabilized in inert gasses to enable it to arrive ‘fresh’ at our local store.  Does this sound healthy to you?  It is certainly not healthy for your wallet, or your body.
