Thank you first for your time and support in my little blog and off grid dream. I hope you enjoy the off grid content I’m providing for you. First I’d like to introduce myself. Hi, My name is Eric Wichman, founder and director of Off Grid Living & Survival™. I would like to take a moment and ask your opinion on what kind of articles, news and information you’d like to see more of in your email box. Please, really. I’m asking because I have a genuine interest in providing the best possible off grid news and information for you available today. So I need YOU and your input and feedback. Please take a moment after reading this letter and send me your thoughts by leaving a comment below, or replying to this email (sent to our email list subscribers). Thank you.

Over the years I have had many ups and downs and have had to shut the websites down multiple times due to personal, family and health related issues. I also founded and launched OffGridLiving.net, and with all the personal family and health issues I had going on I couldn’t keep up and had to shut it down again temporarily while I worked through all the life stuff we all have to deal with. I ended up selling that one website thinking I would get out of this whole “off grid” thing. (Just FYI I kept ownership of the magazine the whole time) Sadly…I was burned out, kind of giving up on my dream of moving off grid and building my own log cabin on my own land. I was getting to the point I didn’t think it would ever happen. However. Through it all I have stayed true to the content and spirit of what it means to live off the grid. It’s about self reliance, self sufficiency, sustainability, using renewable resources, living in harmony with the land and nature and giving back. It’s truly about freedom and independence. Off grid living is about living a free an independent lifestyle It’s about producing your own food and water, electricity and using natural ways to dispose of waste that’s not harmful for the environment. We respect our earth and the wildlife, we hunt, fish, camp, hike, are outdoorsman, mostly blue-collar hard-working workers, and some city folk who are just tired of
