I'm ex-army (infantry, E-6), and after the army I've had a career in hospitality. Apart from that, I have absolutely no formal training in the arts of off-grid living at all.

I don't even remember when it started, but I think I've always had a dream of being completely self-sufficient, and living off-grid. I was lucky enough to be in a financial situation where it made sense to, and my amazing wife was on-board (after a tiny bit of convincing). So we did it. We freaking sold all our belongings, build a tiny house, and started living off the lands back in 2015.

It's the best decision we've ever made, so I wanted to share some of my experiences and tips and tricks, and suddenly, The DIY Prepper was born!
