They have most of the usual modern conveniences: fridge, freezer, washer, computer, cell phone, hot tub, flat screen TV with surround sound...and they do it all without plugging into the power grid. Their house is wood-heated, their fuel is non-petrol; they grow their own food, put up their harvest, make their own wine, and drop fresh canned peaches into the solar-powered blender for the morning smoothies... It's a simple life that works: zero waste, total recycling, and no \"unnecessary necessities.\" Others have done this, but the Carns' are doing it in such a dramatic, inventive way that people flock to their astonishing Stone Camp home to learn Ted's secrets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOff...On Our Own\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is Ted's manual for living off-grid, told with Mark Twainesque humor and irreverence: how he created the various systems that power the Stone Camp (includes a how-to chapter)...and what he thinks about oil, self-reliance, waste, nature and reducing one's carbon footprint to walk more gently on the earth. The book is illustrated throughout with more than 60 black and white photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Carns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0983272603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780983272601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Lynn's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Ted Carns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044558041343,"sku":"9780983272601","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ab38bbb-b876-4306-9753-78b4b41b2217.jpg?v=1684973538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/off-on-our-own-ted-carns-9780983272601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
