Out in the parched desert of Big Bend TX, Melinda and her family is trying to start a new life after her home in NY was foreclosed.

  • Many more of us will be doing the same thing. We just don't know it yet.

  • As of this posting there are eight intelligent people and one cowardly moron that didn't see fit to post his opposition.

  • This video inspires me so much. It represents everything I believe in regarding the family and I hope one day if I ever have children I can be around as much as possible without having to succumb to this materialistic bullshit way of life.

  • I went to the bookstore to check out the Off the Grid book today. I liked reading her story of why she moved and her experiences of living off grid. I have been looking to move to a location in texas close to big bend. It does not look easy but its not easy living in the city ether. I feel ill give up on some of the conveniences of the city for a peace of mind out in the middle of nowhere.

  • @MrSafetymeeting There's no mortgage when the land is $2000-$5000 dollars.That's what most of these people are paying.I'm about to do the same thing but you do have to do your research.Some counties are easier than others.

  • @MrSafetymeeting Yes but they can foreclose even for a small amount.

  • @1timby Taxes are very low on"unimproved land"

  • fucking awesome

  • I hope it all works out for her and her family! How about an update! Did they make out okay> Are you making out okay?

  • The best LEGAL way to get out of property taxes is to buy a camper/rv and park it on BLM land. I ahev seen many living in tents and pull behind cargo trailers. However it you don't mind rent your home from t government with property taxes then just buy a small lot and build a adobe home rom local materials. There is the so called earth bag home too.

  • @1timby ...LOL

  • @Engineer245 She's a lady! Also, she's a smart lady. I am interested in building a house off grid. How do I accomplish this? I have little money, so?
