This is something I enjoy a lot, watching other people's journeys related to homesteading and off-grid living. I watch for entertainment, as well as to learn from them how it's done. 
I figured I'd share some videos from the YT channels I regularly watch.
Thank you for sharing these.
Many years ago I considered living off the grid. I subscribed back then to a healing herbs home study course. At that time the teacher also had a newsletter. One edition carried a real estate sales advertisement for an off the grid stone cabin deep in the Arkansas mountains for sale. New roof, all
hand hewn stone.
I telephoned the seller to inquire. Ten acres with a fresh water stream included. And the foundation of this cabin was one giant peace of rock. They'd dug down to make the foundation for their cabin and when they hit the rock just kept digging. And the cabin had a fireplace.
He emailed me pictures too.
How much? $5000.00!
"Is that too much?"
I almost fell on the floor.
Considering that drastic lifestyle change made me to look for how-to books to learn how to survive off grid.
That's when I discovered the Fox Fire book series.
Six manuals that will teach you everything from how to skin animals and make clothing, to canning.
That property also had two giant gardens. One of vegetables and the other healing herbs. "We're too far from a doctor for anything to go wrong. You have to help yourself out here. " This explained why his ad was in a herbal healing teachers newsletter.
Long story made short. I didn't move and live off grid. The cabin owner informed me the area of Arkansas he was in was a bit close knit. What we call, Clannish. He'd been living there for 30 years and the locals still considered him a stranger.
Been there, done that. Clannish personalities were the deal breaker. That and the fact that in that area of the mountains then Arkansas Governor William Jefferson Clinton had allotted for huge parcels of state property to be used by companies looking to unload nuclear waste water.
"Nearly glows in the dark some nights!"
The other deal breaker? When a notice of correspondence coarse herb classes were being permanently suspended due to the death threat our teacher received just days before. One of those Clannish folk had knocked on her door. And when she opened it there was a 44 magnum handgun pointing straight at her face. The man behind the gun said, we know you worship Satan and if you don't get out you're dead.
Yeah, she left.
