Jaimie and her family live off grid and chronicle their adventures on An American Homestead.com and focus on being self-sufficient. Their only connection to the grid is through a phone line. They are able to get high speed internet through the phone line that is connected to and powered by a solar panel. Their goal with their website is to teach other people the preparedness and homestead skills that they have learned firsthand.

Jaimie said that she does not miss electricity; running water, on the other hand, would be nice to have – and they are working on it! Listen to hear why they choose to live off grid, how they choose to use their limited solar power, why they have a guard donkey instead of a dog, the item she could not live without, a typical household task that becomes hard, why they went with modular housing, how the compostable toilet works, and more!

Thank you for the inspiring podcast. I am curious about the land you live on. Were you able to purchase it outright? Just curious if you had a mortgage. I also wondered what your budget of expenses looked like for a month. Just to get an idea of how much money needs to be coming in. I was also curious if you carry insurance for healthcare or for your home. We have been talking about the feasibility of this lifestyle for our family. I look forward to watching some of your YouTube videos. Thank you again!
