In 2006, Les Stroud produced a special documenting his family's journey to building an off-the-grid home. The show, Off the Grid with Les Stroud, chronicled the process of buying property and refitting an old farm house with solar and wind power, a rain catcher and well, as well as the adjustments the Stroud family had to make to adapt to this style of living.

I guess the "stress" is what made his wife leave him in 2008. I think this entire project, although cool, was not very well thought out.

I'm sorry but this is rich green-these people aren't even trying to go enviromental friendly the right way-using fricking gas products & plastic is not green

You can also heat up hot water for the house.

You should use the excess energy to generate hydrogen out of water. store the H2 in inner tubes and cook with it.

So where are the gutters on the new building?

@bernerroadster1 yeah they have changed the format but idc really. Once I go mobile I might even go stone age to some degree. I have not had cabel or watched Tv since 2009. Get my info from the internet. Maybe eventually I will go totally stone age but i need to stay in touch with certain people in my life. The prob is there are no privacy settings on you tube that let you select who you want to see your channel.
