The Off Grid Cabin
Hey, I'm Steve :)
As a former Air Force helicopter pilot, I have always loved adventure and challenge. That’s why I decided to build my own off-grid solar power home with the help of a my family. What started as a personal project soon became a passion and a lifestyle. Now, through our blog, we share our off-grid journey with over 2.7 million visitors who are inspired to follow their own dreams.
Join us as we take you through every step of our off-grid adventure. You will learn how we chose to go off-grid, how we built our cabin, and how we selected the perfect solar power system. You will also discover the joys and challenges of living off-grid, and the tips and tricks we learned along the way.
