Excellent topic threadstarter even though it doesn't affect me directly (I don't live in the USA) I still found it very informative.
Self Sustainance is the way to fly people, take it from from a person who walks the talk. There is nothing more satifying in this world than not having to be worried about having to pay any bills/mortage/utilities. My only bills are my internet provider a P.O. Box and a $250 I spend each month on groceries. My cabin was built with plans straight out of Mother Earth News for under $4,000. I harvest my energy from the sun/wind, I drilled an aquifer that runs underneath my property for water and I cultivate a lot of stuff I eat (Im vegan). I have a solar oven and a home-made brick oven (You haven't tasted a pizza till you try it on a wood burning brick oven).
genkisan I can tell you are the kind of person that would understand this type of living style, good luck on your proyect.
