Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book has a few pieces of useful knowledge, so I won't go so far as to give it one star. With that being said, there are FAR better books to be had on the subject of living off-grid. This book is written from a rather cynical point of view. The author is so negative about everything, and most of his approaches aren't necessarily what most would even consider off-grid. Going the beaten path and paying others to do your work isn't normally why people choose an off-grid lifestyle, at least not in my experience as a homesteader of almost 8 years. The author makes the homesteading life seem so complicated and stressful, and he ignores the more eco-conscious approach in almost all situations, almost laughing at those who consider conservation the best option. This book was a tense read. I wouldn't have even finished it, but I hoped for a couple useful tidbits, which is all it did end up providing.
