We are Doug and Keri and we are starting the process of moving from a "normal" life in the suburbs of Denver to an off grid life! We decided that it would be a good idea to have a solid list of criteria that we used to compare each state we want to explore. Here are our 11 criteria that you absolutely must consider when you search for off grid property. Of course, you might add on or take away from the list depending on your individual circumstances, but this should at least help get you started! LAWS; including state off grid property laws, county laws, city laws, and possibly HOA laws. Climate; dry versus humid, cold versus hot, rainy versus sunny, etc. Temperature; Do you want to live where there are 4 seasons? No seasons? Cold all the time or hot all the time? Grow Zone; Check out information about grow zones here: https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/pages/view-maps Natural Disasters; Floods, tornadoes, tropical storms or hurricanes, wildfires, landslides, etc. Proximity To Current Address Natural Resources; Sun, water, game, minerals, trees, etc. Stay tuned for our next video as we share with you how we evaluated our first two states, Colorado and Idaho!

We are Doug and Keri and we are starting the process of moving from a "normal" life in the suburbs of Denver to an off grid life! We have talked about homesteading and going off grid for a long time and with all the kids gone, we can really focus on it. We will discuss everything from permaculture to livestock to cooking to self-reliance and off grid living plus everything in between and probably quite a few things that we haven’t even thought of yet! God is our compass in all things we do. Join us in our journey step by step as we make this slightly scary, but exciting transition! Stay tuned for our next video as we share with you how we are running our search for off grid property!
