Thank you for supporting my post, it took me a while to compile the information and really hoped the time invested would be helpful to someone. The tropics makes it much easier than I would assume areas in Canada. I've always liked the idea of the Venus Project and we were very interested in earthships also. I hope to give you some more of our experiences off the grid and if you ever have any questions, please feel free to always contact me! Thank you again for such kind words and I wish you all the best!
