Off Grid in BC: How Fast Is Slow?
http://offgridinbc.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-fast-is-slow.html
Off Grid in BC. Friday, November 27, 2009. How Fast Is Slow? Wow - that was a whirlwind tour - but the timing was perfect. Got to meet some first class people and talk to some enthusiastic motivated locals. It only strengthens my drive to move out to Powell River sooner than planned. If you haven't had a chance to read the PRRD report. Prepared by Joseph McLean (from Second Flux. Over Bell. My reasoning being the low cost of Telus's 1Gb plan and the Aircard's external antenna option. Where they summarize...

Off Grid in BC: October 2009
http://offgridinbc.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Off Grid in BC. Saturday, October 10, 2009. My brother, Martin, owns land right next to mine. In fact it was my first visit to his property that encouraged me to buy the vacant land next to his – even though it wasn’t going to be possible to move out for 5 years after the purchase. Now he’s looking to setup some kind of land sharing deal with other like minded people who like living off grid. End of Inlet when tide is out. 8 Acres on Okeover Inlet - Sunshine Coast, north of Powell River, BC. Within that ...

Off Grid in BC: Quest for Speed
http://offgridinbc.blogspot.com/2009/11/quest-for-speed.html
Off Grid in BC. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. The Holy Grail of Rural Internet. Let me start by saying that I live in Calgary - hardly rural, and rarely short of Internet high speed options. Yet the property we bought two years ago, north of Powell River, at the end of the Okeover Inlet, is far from any Internet connection, let alone a telephone at this point. It was in an October Peak article. The two "sticks' I'm looking at are the Novatel Wireless U998. From Bell Mobility and the. The Sustainable Vegeta...

Off Grid in BC: October 2008

Off Grid in BC. Wednesday, October 8, 2008. What's the first thing to look at when you buy a property in the middle of nowhere that has nothing - no power, no water, no housing? You're starting fresh but it's still very easy to become overwhelmed by all that has to be done. Realistically we're looking at a 3 to 5 year time frame before making the complete move from a house in the city to some sort of cabin or shelter that'll be completely off the grid. So where to begin? Apply to most construction sites:.

Off Grid in BC: September 2008
http://offgridinbc.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Off Grid in BC. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Living in Calgary since the mid 1980s, finishing university, and then working at home as a database developer and consultant for 15 or so years, it's been easy to become accustomed to the comforts of city life. He'd told me about it before, but with two boys, a step-daughter, a mortgage and an easy two day drive to Powell River from Calgary, this would be no weekend getaway. The idea was easily dismissed until my new wife, Maggie and our blended family ma...
