302 color pages, paperback, “NO Grid Survival Projects is the Only Book you Need to Survive a World without Electricity”.Inside you will find 70 ingenious projects that can help you protect your own family in times of economic crisis, long-term blackouts, riots, hyperinflation, hurricanes, martial law, war or other unforeseen events that may come our way.The immediate payoff of having these simple projects installed is that they make you independent and self-sufficient on your own property.You don’t want to depend on anyone for your basic survival needs! This book was written by Michael Major, a veteran, survivalist and self-taught DIY-er with decades of experience building completely unique projects that have already helped hundreds of people generate electricity, harvest and filter rainwater, grow and preserve food and natural remedies, set traps, stockpile fuel long-term and many…many others.As this is a physical book you can still have access to all the life-saving information inside even during a blackout or after an EMP. But the best thing you can do is add these simple projects to your property before something like that ever happens.Here are just a few of the projects you will find with complete sketches, materials and step-by-step Rainwater Harvesting and Purification System : You’ll discover how to create an ingenious rainwater harvesting system capable of storing 165 gallons of water that would otherwise just go to waste. Because the water is stored vertically, it’s also pressurized by gravity, and you’ll be able to use it without a pump or siphon.The Backyard Power Plant (with battery bank) : The Backyard Power Plant is an independent, DIY solar energy system that’s designed to keep a small fridge, a TV, and a laptop running during a blackout or after an EMP. The solar panels, the battery bank, and all the other components would not be affected.
A book that has exactly what the title offers. These are survival projects. Like when the SHTF scenario and you have to work with the materials you have on hand or from the land. This would be a good addition to reference resources for a homestead or farm. These are probably not long term projects but they will work long enough to keep you going.
Every build was interesting and inspiring. Only negative is that some of the projects in the book are simply just unpractical. For example growing potatoes in raised beds hanging on fences... It looks Instagrammable, but that's about it.
Length: * Novel Readability: * Easy to read and comprehend Overall: * Very nice overview of everything you’ll need to live off grid. The color pictures are very helpful. I would recommend this book for anyone considering the off the grid.
