Practical and easy to follow

I picked this up because I’ve been curious about both off-grid living and permaculture, and I liked that it combines the two in one place. The step-by-step advice felt realistic, not overwhelming, and I’ve already started a small raised bed using the tips. It’s motivating to see that living more sustainably can start with small, doable steps.

A Must-Have for DIY Beginners—Especially in Audio!

I wasn’t sure how well a DIY book would translate to audio, but this one is fantastic. Chris Harer does a great job explaining things clearly, and the narration is easy to follow, even if you’re not super handy. I listened while organizing my garage and ended up tackling a couple of small projects the same weekend. The book covers both tool basics and real-life fixes in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming. I love that it combines two guides in one. Whether you're a first-time homeowner or just tired of waiting for someone else to fix things, this audiobook is a confidence boost!

Made off-grid living feel possible

What I liked most about this audiobook was how it focused on saving money, not just living in the woods or something big like that. I always thought living off the grid was only for people with a lot of money and/or engineering skills. This book breaks things down step by step. I didn’t feel like I had to be an expert or spend a ton of money right away. The ideas were clear and real. If you’ve been thinking about doing this, it’s a nice way to learn without pressure.

Simple Skills for Off-Grid Living

This audiobook opened my eyes to how traditional methods can still be useful today. I hadn’t thought much about saving rainwater or using salt to keep food fresh, but the way it’s explained makes it feel simple to try. It also covers solar energy, food storage, and preparing for emergencies without needing expensive gear. The tips helped me see how small changes at home can lead to more independence. Whether you're starting out with DIY projects or just want to be ready for anything, this guide gives you solid advice to live in a more practical and self-reliant way.

Off-Grid Without the Overwhelm

This audiobook made off-grid living feel doable, even for someone like me with zero DIY background. I liked how it focused on saving money and making small, smart changes. The permaculture bonus was a nice surprise—it gave me a solid plan for my yard. Super practical and way less intimidating than I expected.

Perfect for Weekend Projects

This set is great if you like rolling up your sleeves and getting things done around the house. It includes a wide variety of projects, with clear instructions and tips that even a beginner can follow. I appreciated the mix of creativity and practicality; it’s not just fixing things, it’s also about making your space feel more like home. A solid go-to for any DIY enthusiast.

Empowering Resource for Sustainable Living

This audiobook serves as a clear, accessible introduction to off-grid living and permaculture principles. It provides step-by-step guidance that demystifies the transition to a self-sufficient lifestyle, making it achievable even for beginners. The content balances practical how-to advice with broader strategies for long-term sustainability, offering solutions tailored to a variety of climates and living situations. The bonus section on permaculture adds significant value, outlining a roadmap to transform any plot of land into a productive, regenerative space. A valuable listen for anyone seeking to reduce dependency on traditional systems and embrace a more resilient, eco-conscious lifestyle.

Those hard to miss details

Living off the grid may appear appealing but it can get messy fast if you don't know the daily essentials. This audiobook provides what you need to know so you can live an emotionally satisfactory and whole life, and not just off the grid. Energy independence, water management, and building your own house are indispensable for the topic not to be overwhelming. I recommend listening to this audiobook if you are seriously considering living off the grid.

I especially appreciated the balance of hands-on projects and explanations about living more sustainably, which really inspired me to take action. Whether you're looking to go off-grid or just simplify your life, this collection is a motivating, empowering guide that I highly recommend.

Great guide to living more sustainably

I bought this audiobook to learn more about living with less reliance on expensive electricity. I didn’t necessarily want to be off the grid but learnt heaps of cool ideas and DIY tips to how I could incorporate this into my daily living. We’ve already seen savings in our power bill by implementing ideas from this book.
And then as a bonus we got the second book to how sustainably grow your harvest. I’ve got really into growing my own veges at the moment and they are thriving. This second book gave me great ideas as to what to do next to take it to the next level
