I made a rocket stove. It works pretty well. The sticks I used were too big. It needs smaller twigs and you keep pushing them in2yr ⋅ asdfgdhtns ⋅ r/OffTheGrid
Finally bought my 1 acre plot but it has an old water damaged trailer I want to get rid of before I build. How much scrap metal would I be able to get if I chop it up and send it to metal scrapers?1yr ⋅ IllstudyYOU ⋅ r/OffTheGrid

Might be gross and I’m not totally off the grid but how many people don’t flush when it’s still clear? I hate to waste water and my sister who lives in a drought prone area always gave me the phrase “If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down”2yr ⋅ Stupify_Me ⋅ r/OffTheGrid

Moved with my wife and our dog from a city apartment to a house in a small village (pop.<1K). Immediately switched kitchen to induction. In March we installed solar panels, wanted enough panels so we'd generate more electricity than we'd use. Seems to have worked.3yr ⋅ Oobedoob_S_Benubi ⋅ r/OffTheGrid

Help the f**k out of me (..with a rainwater filter, description in the comments)4yr ⋅ ajasonis ⋅ r/OffTheGrid
I have most of the interior of my cabin insulated and paneled. I have a bit of trim to install, and then paint, or stain, the interior. The insulation has made a HUGE difference in temperature, and noise control, mostly crows screaming, and the rain on my metal roof.5yr ⋅ midasfly ⋅ r/OffTheGrid
Basic Solar Power for ~$200. I have used this setup for a year or so. I thought I would outgrow it, but haven't so far. I charge batteries, run LED lighting, charge electronics, and even top off my motorcycle battery. I have two batteries that I swap, always keeping one fully charged and ready.5yr ⋅ midasfly ⋅ r/OffTheGrid

A customers at whom we installed a rainwater harvesting system in 2013 sent me these photos. We created the base system for him and they expanded it to store more harvested rainwater. All rainwater is collected centrally and directed to a primary rainwater filter. It is purified for household use6yr ⋅ rainwaterguru ⋅ r/OffTheGrid
A rainwater harvesting system at a residential property. System has been installed in a basement. It treats the rainwater for use in the house. Primary rainwater filtration is critical in keeping the rainwater tanks clean. The design and installation is compact, simple as extremely cost effective.7yr ⋅ rainwaterguru ⋅ r/OffTheGrid
A rainwater harvesting 3D drawing that allows the new property to capture all the rainwater from the roof. Water is pre-filtered before stored in two 5000l tanks. A high pressure water purification unit converts the rainwater into potable water and pumps it back to the house replacing town water7yr ⋅ rainwaterguru ⋅ r/OffTheGrid
