"Off-The-Grid" Right Now
"SOLAR WORKS. GENERATORS WORK. BATTERIES WORK. WINDMILLS WORK. We use all of these things to produce our own electricity. It works and we show you how we are doing it....
....We spent $4,200.00 on our 8 solar panels. If I had 8 more panels, I would be running my generator very little. If I had 16 more panels - WE WOULD HAVE TOO MUCH ELECTRICITY. Twenty-four solar panels like ours would cost ONLY $12,000.00!!!!!!!!"....

----------------------------2006 WINTER UPDATE: Last winter, it cost us $65.00 to heat the 5,000 square foot house. So far this winter, it has cost only $5.00 and about one-quarter of a gallon of fuel so far. As shown in the DVD, in winters past we bought slab wood from the local sawmill for $5 per bundle. We used 13 bundles last winter. This year, my boys are bigger and stronger, so we have been cleaning up fallen trees in the woods around the house and we have only purchased one bundle of slabs. I don't expect to buy anymore slabs this year. Admittedly, the slabs are easier than gathering wood from the forest. But the time spent with the boys and the outdoors makes gathering wood from the forest more appealing - at least for me it does.
I commented to my wife last night after spending an hour in the woods cutting and gathering wood - what an awesome feeling to know that I spent an hour in the woods with Joshua and Taylor (my 6 year old daughter loves to gather her own twigs and sticks to throw in the furnace) and by simply cleaning up the fallen or dead trees, we have all the heat in the house that we could ever use. It's a great feeling. I wish that everyone could experience it.

"Many writers have spoken of intentional plans by certain Elite to thin-out the world's population; it's a recurring theme among so-called conspiracy theorists. There are frequent references to "useless eaters", which includes the bulk of mankind. Most, when hearing of plots to depopulate the planet, simply say under their breath, "Yeah, right," or more often, while shaking their head, "You're nuts." But when there is a careful examination of writings... [read more]
