    About this ebook

    Do you want to break the shackles and stop giving your hard earned money to large multinational utility companies?


    What would you do if there was an extended blackout spanning a month or more? How would you feed yourself and your family if the shelves in your local supermarket were suddenly empty? By becoming self-sufficient you will never need to worry about these things. 

    Don’t worry; there is no need to suddenly jump into an off-grid lifestyle. You can begin slowly and increase your self-sufficient abilities over time. 

    This book is packed with useful tips and tricks that can help you begin with the enjoyment and rewards that come with off-grid living. You will learn how to grow your own food, harvest your own water and generate your own power. 
     

    Here are some of the things you will learn about:

    • Solar power generation
    • Wind power generation
    • Hydroelectric power generation
    • Kinetic power generation
    • Rainwater harvesting
    • Sinking a well
    • Water from rivers and streams
    • Growing vegetables
    • Growing fruit
    • Growing herbs
    • Keeping livestock
    • Household waste disposal



      •  

    It’s relatively easy to live off the grid. Do you want to learn how to become self-sufficient? Great … then what are you waiting for?

    Tadhg O'Flaherty

    Tadhg O’Flaherty was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1977. Tadhg attended the University of Limerick as a mature student and graduated in 2013 with a B.Sc. in Computer Game Development. As a computer whizz-kid Tadhg was naturally inept at writing until he discovered that by utilising the Law of Attraction he was able to seamlessly transition into the field and is now a full-time author with two books currently self-published on Amazon. Tadhg’s second book “Surviving a Realistic Zombie Apocalypse” gained local notoriety within days of publishing and was featured on the front page of the Limerick Leader newspaper, which has a readership of 110,290, and also received airtime on local and national radio.

      Too simplistic in terms of descriptions and too negative. Just read the Permaculture Design Manual by Bill Mollison instead. Much better.

    Introduction

    Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient.

    Aristotle (c. 384-322 BC)
