Permaculture is more than just a way to design gardens. It is a way of life centered around building an ecosystem that thinks and behaves just like nature. Not only does it favor reusing and recycling, but it also limits potential waste, allowing you to design a slice of nature in your own backyard. In fact, permaculture makes nature your partner in going green, and all you need to do in order to get started is open your eyes and observe.

Despite what others may say about the off-grid style of living, it’s not strange and it’s not a “phase” you will eventually get over. Everyone has different passions and definitions of what the perfect life would be, so not all people will understand. Regardless of what family or friends say, don’t let them deter you. If it’s something you truly desire, then there’s no other option than to go for it!

Although modern aquaponics is still fairly new, it was used in ancient times. Some of the first examples are thought to be islands where plants raised with water and other materials from the Chinampa canals. The islands, known as Chinampas, were mainly stationary, but some were movable. Also, rice was raised in Thailand and China in paddies, which also contained fish. Other Far Eastern countries also raised fish - swamp eels, regular and crucian carp, and Oriental loach - in rice paddies.

Many people assume that growing your own food requires a certain skill, but you certainly don’t have to be a gardener! What you need is reliable knowledge from someone who started with just a handful of seeds and now uses their greenhouse to make an extra income. You need a step-by-step guide to planting, pruning, and harvesting. And most of all, you need a plan!

Great audio on the off-grid living concept.
Highly recommended for those starting to contemplate off-grid living. Not a lot of details on each of the items to consider but great for identifying all the things that need to be considered. Would also recommend for those who want to be a little more ‘free’ but not truly off-grid ad many of the concepts can be applied even with a little bit of land.

This is a nice list of stuff to consider, very short. But not a guide this is just a list.
This does not go into detail about anything, it’s more a list of very high level stuff to consider at the very initial stages of considering an off grid lifestyle. For anyone who has more than briefly considered off grid living, you probably know more than what is offered in this book. This book would probably be good for someone who knows what the grid is, and has not considered the most basic strategy for getting off grid. The narration in the audible version of this book is very clear which is great. The entire book was read in maybe an hour or so.

Recommend To Buy Paperback Instead:
For those (city people) who may find interest in Living Off the Grid and looking for books where to get started. I would only recommend this book in paperback instead of audio. It's an "introduction" book that brings forth a check off list for you to do extensive research on the subjects addressed in this book that is needed for this living lifestyle.

The story of the "Lentil Underground" begins on a 280-acre homestead rooted in America's Great Plains: the Oien family farm. Forty years ago, corporate agribusiness told small farmers like the Oiens to "get big or get out." But 27-year-old David Oien decided to take a stand, becoming the first in his conservative Montana county to plant a radically different crop: organic lentils. Unlike the chemically dependent grains American farmers had been told to grow, lentils make their own fertilizer and tolerate variable climates, so their farmers aren't beholden to industrial methods.

Story
The story of the "Lentil Underground" begins on a 280-acre homestead rooted in America's Great Plains: the Oien family farm. Forty years ago, corporate agribusiness told small farmers like the Oiens to "get big or get out." But 27-year-old David Oien decided to take a stand, becoming the first in his conservative Montana county to plant a radically different crop: organic lentils. Unlike the chemically dependent grains American farmers had been told to grow, lentils make their own fertilizer and tolerate variable climates, so their farmers aren't beholden to industrial methods.
