  • 03 Methods and tech for living off grid - part 3 #offgrid #offgridlife
    Jan 31 2026

    Here I discuss your right to remain disconnected the electrical grid, telecommunications options when off the grid. You have to full right to not pay anyone for their product or services. Similarly, you do not have to have an electrical connection if you so choose. It's a simple concept that seems to have been lost in the shuffle. And, governments and power companies alike try hard to make it seem like an obligation; for you to pay your private for profit electric corporation. Don't be fooled. Also, here I discuss several free telecommunication options including free and open Wi-Fi computer networks, free phone service, and free private phone and computer networks. I also discuss the exciting world of radio frequency telecommunications.

  • 02 Methods and Tech for living off grid – part 2 – Cooking, shelter, HVAC, water and energy systems - #offgrid
    Jan 25 2026
    In this information packed episode, I discuss many important topics dealing with methods and technologies to enable you to live off the grid. First I discuss cooking equipment options. I prefer to use electricity-less or gas equipment for cooking when off grid. It saves much energy. Then, I speak about shelter or home options. I stress the importance of low cost housing, and how cost is more important than efficiency. But, efficiency is highly important, and I discuss was to keep your energy working at its fullest and with much efficiency. I stress how HVAC is the largest energy consumer in most homes, and how to condition your environment when off the grid. When I discuss water systems for homes, I focus on rain collection, which I think to be the best option. After discussing water options, I move on to speak about off grid home options, the dome and the triangular home. These are "build" options that aim to maximize efficiency and not be connected to any utility. I showcase my previous design projects: the wooden dome, the concrete monolithic dome, and the triangular home. In those designs I attempted to design the homes with the ability to collect water, energy, and remain pleasant inside. Lastly, I discuss energy systems to live off grid, with center stage taken by solar energy technologies, followed by wind energy. This episode is packed with information, so you won’t want to miss it.Hector Vladimir 2026©Living Off the Grid in the City Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechhttps://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechbyronhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552559207892Living Off the Grid in the City PDF bookhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1fY4aaKpWzUX4W5rTyeI1U7oeBOcSviEp/view?usp=sharingEfficient home projecthttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1uLKrejF4N6u7Mht6-TQXSi45fLxfXBhR/view?usp=sharingDome home project (wood)https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc6KbtQHq2GsDtpQJQTIv5M5Monolithic dome techniqueshttps://youtu.be/UfIqQO7GyRchttps://youtu.be/7aUKFWpbdP8https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc6nd-_C6bkiKnMxLBg7DfgKhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5079280https://www.bitchute.com/channel/1yG6vacOmMN7Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/hectorvladimirSubstack page: https://hectorvladimir.substack.com/Living Off the Grid in the City Radio Show (Legacy) links belowhttps://www.youtube.com/hbcsolarpvtechbyronhttps://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552559207892https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc5tJy1BbtZaohmLi5F0-DFZPatreon page: https://www.patreon.com/hectorvladimirSubstack page: https://hectorvladimir.substack.com/

  • 17 Barriers to living off the grid - And how to combat those
    Dec 24 2025

    Here, I present the barriers and hurdles to an off grid lifestyle. Knowledge is a barrier. Or better said, ignorance is a barrier. The lack of knowledge can present you and those around you with arrogance and stupidity that may prevent understanding why living off the grid is necessary. The climate crisis, the energy and food high costs, and the oppressive nature of the utility service providers are reasons that require accepting the available and credible evidence. Your environment can be a barrier. Your family, your government and your financial and material situation. Also, laws and regulations may be barriers. Cost and finances may be barriers that need attention. And, lastly the lack of freedom for a variety of reasons, may be barriers to an off grid lifestyle in your area. Here, I give solutions to these and other types of barriers to living off the grid. Check it out, share and like if this brings value to you. #offgrid #offthegrid #sustainableliving #renewableenergy
