How to Live Off Grid Frugally
Most people think you need a six-figure solar setup or a trust fund to live off the grid. We'll be the first to say that's false. We're the Goodwins, and we started Goodwin's Ranch with barely anything except a drive to break free from the rat race.
Just a few months ago, we walked away from high rent, rising bills, and the never-ending nosiness of our neighbors. We didn't have a blueprint or a fancy camper van - just a plot of desert land, a pickup, and a stubborn belief that we could make it work.
Why We Went Off-Grid
We weren't chasing a trend, we're chasing freedom.
The freedom to wake up to silence without smog.
The freedom to build with our own hands.
The freedom to live on our own terms - without selling our souls to landlords or electric companies.
How to Live Off-Grid on a Budget
This movement is for anyone who's ready to do the same without going broke. No BS. No $20,000 solar installs. Just raw, real, trial and error advice on:
- How to set up off-grid electricity, including solar alternatives, without breaking the bank
- How to find cheap land that doesn't suck
- DIY water and waste solutions that don't smell like death
- Living with less and thriving with more purpose
- What to avoid so you don’t learn the hard way like we did
This is just the beginning. We're here to show you how off-grid living isn't just only possible - it can even be more purposeful, cheaper, and better than the alternative.
Whether you're fed up with the astronomical costs, just wondering if there's another way, or simply curious about this lifestyle (even from the middle of the city) welcome to Goodwin's Ranch.
We'll show you how to live off-grid frugally, and why it might be the best decision you ever make. Stay tuned for more content
