Does anyone currently live "off grid" from something? Such as solar power, well water, providing own food through gardens, etc. ?
It's a subject that has interested me for a while now and I've looked through many options for off the grid living. I recently stumbled on to something very cool called Earth Bag Houses.

I'm looking into designing an earth bag house that is solar powered (planning on building my own solar panels- instructions can be found online), and uses well water as well as a wood-burner for heat and cooking. I believe I could build a house like this for under 20,000$!!!
After I get this little dream house of mine I will attempt to live off the land by gardening and canning foods as well as raising chickens and rabbits to start with for meat.
Anyone else have anything to share about off the grid living?
