✅ Off-grid power essentials, from wood heat and solar cookers to plug-and-play backup power and safe fuel storage

✅ Tool lists, weekend projects, checklists, and troubleshooting so you avoid expensive mistakes

✅ Safety notes and code awareness woven throughout, so every project is practical and compliant

Whether you live in town, the suburbs, or on the edge of the countryside, this book helps you grow more, spend less, and depend less on fragile systems. Start today, improve every season, and build a homestead that pays you back in food, security, and peace of mind.
