Are you serious?

For the record, it's MARTIAL LAW... I'd rather hang out with this "trash" than some judgemental asshole who can't even spell.

This documentary was ridiculous. I do a lot of research about living off the grid and this particular one is going to push people away more than anything. This is not living off the grid and not the green movement. This is mostly lazy asses bumming off the system.

I agree that it is miss labeled. i got here looking for stuff on living off grid. On the other hand i will visit this place after i retire and maybe hang out for awhile

[Fred Hunsberger]

Ok, so the film title is misleading. This film is in my opinion loaded with valuable information about how people live together and treat each other, it's a social study, a great doc. the young people who made have provided insight into a community that most people don't even know (or care) existed.

This trailer conveys the people entirely wrong..

[Border Collie]

What are the permit requirements to build? HOA? Muslim neighbors?

I have theory that the only reason people watch the Kardashions is to know where they are so they can avoid them. I plan to build an off the grid home out in the desert when I retire, and I want to know where these folks are so I can avoid getting them for neighbors. But generally speaking avioding areas where trash and garbage are strewn on the landscape with no reverence for nature is probably a good start.

Yeah because spelling "martial law" is what counts in that situation. These people are just bickering white trash is all, thinking theyre not dependants because theyre out in the sticks (but guess what, all that they own and use to live is made by "big brother". Fuckin hypocrites.

[Fletch Hendrix]

I want to get off the grid but won't learn to square dance like this. Has to be funded by big business to give it a flavor of distaste. Don't drink the coolaid people taste nasty like they make us live.

[trackerbuckmann1111]

No they wont still be there. They all either drive into Taos to fill water containers or have it delivered. Explain to me how this is "off grid"?!- the earthship communities are great... But these people would be dead in a matter of days without society.

[MoanikaLewinsky]

I thought this was a video on how to live a healthy life making it off the grid, and to my surprise is just about a bunch of outlaw-rednecks trying to stay away from the city police cuz they can't or don't know how to live in a decent community!....SUCKS!
