We’ve put in a runway at the off grid cabin and this changes everything!!!!

How's it going? So I'm a 18M, and I've been pretty discontent with my life in society so far, and it's not helped by my toxic family life. I was wondering if anybody had some spots in the southeast USA where I could go off grid and legally build off the land? It's been a dream of mine since around 2018-19, and I've been researching and watching videos, practicing on my father's land, but I have never found any locations to go and do this sort of thing at, near me. I don't want to abandon my family and friends, but I also don't want to exist in this society anymore

I will collect water from everything from clean rivers, rain water to salty seawater. How can I clean it? My plan is:

Salt Water Hose -> Sand Filter -> Sediment Filter -> Reverse Osmosis -> UV Filter -> Water Tank

Rain Water -> Sand Filter -> Sediment Filter -> Activated Carbon Filter -> UV Filter -> Water Tank

I know that it can still go bad inside the water storage by algae / bacteria build up from the air vent so how should I filter it after the water storage? Water Tank -> UV Filter -> Drinking, Would this be enough?

Should I use different filtering for salt water, rain and clean rivers? I dont think rain water needs reverse osmosis for an example.

Also what cartridge size for the filters? It will be an "Expedition Truck" if you want to google an image so plenty of space.

I feel like I might be more qualified to talk about growing plants and when and how to get them to seed. If anyone has any questions let me know.

Anyone hear completely removed from society like alone in woods with no human contact and don’t go to stores etc?

I want to raise it up a bit for gravity pressure but I don't want to build a tower or structure. I've seen people stack 2 cinder blocks under but idk how stable that is ? Ideas ?

How do you all do property hunting when you already have a specific rough area in mind where you want to buy land?

Do you just drive around the area and look for potential sites to buy? Look up online property sites? Post online or put flyers up in certain towns where you're interested in buying land? Do you use google maps, and if yes, how?

For those that already found their property how did you find it/what methods did you utilize?

Thank you all for your experiences!

Anyone know of a simple cheap easy to fix manufacturer of appliances?

My husband and I just went under contract for 3.05 acres of land. The land was surveyed and seller and has had a soil test conducted by the state.

We dont plan on building for any least 24 months after closing.

Is there any independent testing we need to have done prior to closing? Is there anything we’re missing that needs to be done

This cistern is from the early 1900’s. I’d like to make it a cellar/bunker. Or restore it to a cistern.

Anyone out there?

how to make a vertical wind turbine for home use?

hi, i have hybrid 8kw solar system with 18 plates 585w, but i want to make energy at night too.

I thought about wind turbine but seems useless to me after taking some views.

Then, what would be the best way to go off-grid other than solar and government electricity, cause the energy made in the morning got consumed and at night there is no other alternative than battery backup which doesn't run Air conditioner.

My in-laws are on an off grid property that backs up to a large creek/small river. My wife and I will be moving out there soon and I was talking with my father in law about hydro power off the creek, which he said he'd thought about doing, but the it has some pretty big level changes when it floods as well as a steep bank (4-5ft) on their side of the creek (roughly going from 30yds across and chest deep, to 100yds across flooding out the neighboring field, and over head deep). The setups ive seen in my research have been on small creeks, and had pretty major elevation changes on the property (which this property doesnt have) to gain momentum before going to the turbine. Does anyone have experience with hydro setups on bigger, shallow elevation change, creeks?

I need to find a fan that is powerful yet energy efficient, I have a condition that makes me get heat stroke extremely easily. I need to power a fan with a power bank and need a fan that uses low wattage while being able to cool well. Any help is appreciated.
