I grew up in the Valley. I left in 1968 and will be returning in a few years. I’m going to build a small 16’x48’ 1 bed 1 bath home. I’ll be using solar power and the property I own now has a well and water rights.

Why do people like this never keep their property and living conditions cleaned up. Always in filth.

I've lived poor, I've lived homeless, I've lived off-grid, I know for a fact you don't have to live trashy in any of those scenarios. All those poor kids being raised to believe it is ok to trash your property up, respect the land, all the junk can be scrapped, burned and buried.. Other than that, these people have it right.

I lived like this for a year and a half, moving this month. Some people can do it and are truly happy. I just can't! It's hard. I'm a city girl and used to having running water from the city and electricity. And be able to take as long as showers or baths as I wanted. This life is hard especially with children. My son is 3 now and it's not a life I want for my son. The isolation is very hard. I'm used to seeing people and hanging out and going to malls restaurants go see a movie ect. Their is none of that when you live so secluded like this. Me and my family live in the mountains in Colorado. I moved out here because of my fiance and he waned to be close to his dad. I was a bit uneducated and unaware of how hard it be. I feel like a fish out of water especially for a black girly girl. It's scary at night! Bears terrify me! I did it for my fiance, but I can't do it no longer!

I'll keep my opinion, of this family, to myself, especially after seeing their comments...

A problem I do have, with the video, is: The claim that 30% of people have the skills to live off the grid. Well, no f'n shizz, genius. This supposed to mean something profound?

We are ALL born without skills. So, at one time, 100% of us lacked the skills to live off grid. People learn, but mostly only what they need to. If one isn't planning on living off grid, then why bother learning the skills to do so? Besides, drop this family in the jungle, without the equipment at startup, and let's see if they have the skills. Hmm. Drop them in Iraq circa the 2000's, and let's see if they have the needed skills, whatever those may be, to survive. Hell, I didn't have the skills to go to Iraq, before the Army taught me, but I dang sure learned them.

That's what homo sapiens do. They learn. Took us from paleolithic hunter-gatherers, to a species that explores the solar system, and beyond. So, don't give me that line about how "amazing" (or whatever) you are, for being capable of living off grid. Con-f'n-gratulations, you're a human who was able to do what humans do. Learn. You can check your hubris at the door.

Beautiful way of life. Most kids nowadays are stuck on tablets or phones and can’t use their imagination for crap, spoiled and have zero life skills other than eating tide pods! These kiddos will grow up with a healthy respect for both land and animals! I applaud them!

These folks are so far from "off grid". Drinking water from in town, checks from the government, propane, internet, town for groceries, buy chicken feed, pig feed and hay every month, wood for the stoves, gas for the generators. Quite a ways to go before they are anywhere near "off grid". And on another note - 4 to 5 adults and 6 children on a piece of land, there is no reason that infrastructure isn't in better condition and all that trash isn't dealt with. Very poor example of what it's like to be truly off grid - and no mention of attempting sustainability.
This is no condemnation of their lifestyle, let's just be honest in our terminology.
