		<title>Hard rime cuts people off the grid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In some areas od Poland people are disconnected from the electrical grid by the weather. A lot of hard rime covered electrical lines and caused some pylons to break.
It is not uncommon in Poland to have temperatures below -20°C (-4°F). But such weather with very high humidity is not something we would expect. 
Because of [...]

		<title>It&#8217;s Not Easy Being Green &#8211; Season 1 review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished watching the first season of TV show &#8220;It&#8217;s Not Easy Being Green&#8221;, hosted by Dick Strawbridge. A great source of inspiration, and a great way to spend seven afternoons, watching seven episodes.
If you&#8217;re not familiar with european satellite TV channels, you probably don&#8217;t know Dick Strawbridge, lieutentant-colonel, and engineer. But if you [...]

		<title>Water: drill (dig) your own well</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you don&#8217;t have access to water supply network, you can harvest rainwater, or use water you have on-site. If you have access to groundwater, you need to dig or drill a well to be able to use it.
Having your own well is a good idea. It is a reliable source of water, and the [...]

		<title>Peak Oil Survival &#8211; review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I read the last page of the book Peak Oil Survival: Preparation for Life After Gridcrash, another Amazon purchase. Since I planned to post here every week, it&#8217;s a great I have something to write about.
The book&#8217;s title indicates that it&#8217;s about preparing for living after the electrical grid crashes. It&#8217;s not a manual [...]

		<title>Five Acres and Independence &#8211; review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I finished reading a book I purchased some time ago on Amazon, the &#8220;Five Acres and Independence&#8221; by M. G. Kains. This article will start a new series of reviews of various books and articles to read. So here&#8217;s my review.
The description of this book on Amazon is very short, and consists of only [...]

		<title>Off-grid appliances: washing mashine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first detailed post in the new series about appliances for off-grid living. Today I want to start with the washing mashines, as I think they are the most interesting. Not only you can change ordinary washing mashine to one suitable for renewable energy sources, but also you can buy one suitable for [...]

		<title>Wind turbines on eBay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though I believe that at this time wind turbines are way to expensive to buy (especially in Poland, as I explained here), not every off-gridder is also a DIY-enthusiast. Because of that some of you may be forced to purchase wind turbine, instead of making one by yourself.
If you consider buying one, I&#8217;d suggest trying [...]

		<title>Appliances for off-grid living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living off the grid doesn&#8217;t mean you have to live like in the 15th century, doing everything with your own hands. Much of typical house work is done today by some appliances. If you want to live off-grid, you probably don&#8217;t want to get rid of those appliances. So what should you do?
If you&#8217;re building [...]

		<title>Composting toilets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The lot I want to build my off-grid home at is not connected to sanitary sewers (it even doesn&#8217;t have access to public water supply!), so I will have to deal with wastewater on my own. I have a batch of ideas I will share with you here in a couple of next posts.
One of [...]

		<title>Composting toilet &#8211; wikipedia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to write here a series of articles about my ideas of dealing with wastewater. One of my ideas is to use the composting toilets instead of ordinary flush toilets, connected to septic tank. This would allow me to save a bit of water (used for flushing those toilets), and reduce the amount of [...]
