Off-Grid Living for Beginners by Calvin Brooks is about transitioning from an urban lifestyle to one free from it. The book describes the various sources of power, generators, and batteries. Brooks has a vast knowledge of how to source water and the techniques associated with it. He includes chapters on cooking and heating, but also delves into sanitation and plumbing. Off-grid living will help you to become self-sufficient. That’s the best part. You don’t have to depend on anyone else’s systems as much as before. This is the manual that will help you maintain your path toward achieving off-grid living, partially, if not completely. What are the pitfalls and drawbacks? What to look out for? This book covers everything you have not thought of, making it an indispensable resource.
This is such a great book! It was highly informative for someone like me who had very little idea of what it takes to live off-grid. Off-Grid Living for Beginners by Calvin Brooks persuaded me that living off-grid was possible even for someone like me with limited DIY experience and knowledge. Brooks covered all the topics for successfully living off-grid. I found the text easy to follow. Even scary topics such as types of lead-acid batteries, their maintenance, and pure sine versus modified sine waves were explained beautifully. I liked the excellent tips, including the one for battery packs. He covered all these topics in an entertaining way as the information flowed seamlessly from one chapter to the next. Readers will appreciate how well he explained everything.
