I'm your newest member Lamar. I bought your ebook quite some time ago, but I am logged in here with a different email address. I have been working on my project since the spring of 2009 off and on and in between work and all. My shack is somewhat similar to yours, but because of the local codes, there are alot of differences also. It is a bit bigger (16x24) and it will have a basement. I found your e-book to be very interesting on alot other topics than just the cabin itself.
Hey Cash, send me some pics when you get your homestead going!
That encourages others that are considering it.

Hi all, I am in the process of getting off the grid, out in the middle of nowhere
in Montana.
in Montana.
As you know, I absolutely loved your first ebook and have read it many times and I have just ordered your second ebook so now maybe I'll quit worrying so much about how to do it. You explain everything so well.
Thank you so much,
Deb

Thanks for the new e book Lamar, Have the 1st one and just now ordered the Solar one. Looking forward to reading it.
Thanks again,
Steve
Thanks again,

How long does it take to get the ebook? Paid this morning via paypal......
Hi Lamar,
I've downloaded your e-book on the cabin and now I'm going to download the one on solar power. Now, if I could just find a really cheap piece of property I'd be set.
I will also soon find out how well solar works up here in British Columbia.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom at such a reasonable cost.

Lamar,
Thanks for the feedback, Lamar. Can't wait to get started getting myself off the grid & independent of the burden of frenetic modern society and it's energy crunch. Thanks for the big push & for pointing the way!

Hey Murph!
I get about 1 meg transfer rate and 3 meg receive rate so not too bad. I am on the internet a lot so I know what you mean and as long as you get good cell phone reception you should get good internet. They do make boosters for these and I have a few in the store.

Thank you for all the information on your site. i am very interested in this lifestyle but am stuck in the rat race for now. im working on a fix though but in the meantime, im doing my research. thanks again, chuck
Lamar,
Just curious... what is the speed like for the broadband? Are you able to watch streaming video with little pausing/delay? Any problem with uploads or downloads? I design websites so I just wanted to know how far I can get off the grid and still have reliable access to the internet in order to generate income. I figure that you maintain this site and upload videos to YouTube, so it can't be too bad. Just want some idea of how to incorporate this into my off grid living. Thanks.

I use alltel broadband for internet and cell phone but I think verizon has more coverage. You can also use satellite internet but expensive!
Have a good one!

Lamar,
Just got your ebook and think it's fantastic and very informative. I think you are at the forefront of a trend that Americans are going to have to soon embrace - being energy self-sufficient. Thanks for the great building plans and an easy to understand intro to creating solar & wind generator setups for a cabin. I am curious, since I work online as well, how do you get your internet connection? It is obviously wireless, but where are you getting your signal from? Do you recommend any provider? Might be material for another excellent instructional video. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Hi LaMar I just found your website this morning I've been looking at getting a piece of land and building a small cabin almost like yours except with a root cellar .

Same process as a propane fireplace. Propane provides a lot of btu (heat) for a small cabin and mine is only 30,000 btu and works great!

Your videos are very informative & give me some hope to have my own homestead. You mention having a propane furnace. How exactly does it heat the cabin? Like a propane fireplace?

Hello LaMar,
I bought your e-book some time ago. I haven't read it in a while but when I went to open it up I lost the password . Is there any way to reset it?
Thanks,
John

The wind generator is available on ebay only. Just search for wind turbines and it should come up. Mine is the 125 watt model.

Hello LaMar,
I ordered the book and I must say it was money well spent. There is a lot of common sense knowledge in there. It is a must have for anyone thinking of making the move to grid free living. Keep up the good work!

Hey LaMar!
How's the simple life? I bought your book back in October and love it. I had asked you about your water heater and you gave me some great information so thanks for that. I wanted to let you know that I found a great water heat at Eztankless.com for $134.00 including shipping. Just thought that you could you add it (if you liked of course) to your recommended products page to share with others.
Peace, Love, Respect
Mauricio

Your site is great! I am very inerested in self-sufficiency and live with my fiance, Art on 14 acres that has been in his family since 1906. We are restoring the property and also putting our own mark on things. We garden, have goats and horses and will be adding chickens, turkeys and a cow in the spring. Art has returned to school and is taking Industrial tech with a minor in alternative energy. I have been a farm girl all my life and want to work toward being as self-sufficient as possible. Love your ideas and would love to hear from you. Check out our site at www.thevalleyofthepines.com.

Your videos should prove to help many looking for alternatives. I ordered your eBook this afternoon and look forward to reading it over. My plan is to build a place here in Alabama and then a place in Alaska with Alaska being my main residence. I have in mind what I want and seeing how you have done it will help solidify my plans. I wait patiently......take care, HC Hall

great videos on utube!! really got me thinking about this. I am in transition right now from a life of debt to a life of freedom from debt. I am in a good position to do this as i am single and i soon wont have any other mortgage obligations. You are a good person for trying to open peoples eyes to the debt/slave system!! Rock on!!

Wow Lamar! I've ordered e-books before, and this is about the easyest book i've ever seen. Other e-books i've ordered has to have a cd in order to view it. This book you can take out in the field with you and dont have to worry about forgetting the cd way back home.
I just want to say thanks.
