There were also particularly compact and highly efficient wood stoves that could be installed separate from taking up too much room.
My wifey and I decided that we wanted to live off the grid. This sort of lifestyle is becoming more and more popular especially with people in their mid-to-late twenties. I feel for many of us we view the world a bit differently and want to escape the stress and anxiety that comes along with modern-day life. My friend and I are willing to sacrifice some of the comforts of house in order to accomplish this task. At any rate, we started looking into purchasing one of those tiny homes that could be moved from locale to locale so that we could explore some of the vast wilderness around us. My friend and I learned rather hastily that we had to make some serious changes to the way we did things in order to live as we wanted to. In many cases, there would not be any electricity or running water, so a conventional heating or cooling component would not toil and we wanted to be comfortable even during serious temperature changes. My friend and I did our research and found that there were many alternative forms of heat that we could use that ran off of solar power. There were also particularly compact and highly efficient wood stoves that could be installed separate from taking up too much room. Both of these heat sources utilized green and renewable energy sources and that made us particularly delighted as well. Being able to escape the high-tech and sometimes stressful world around us was what was most important. If it meant being more creative about ways to care about the comforts that we were used to, that was okay too.
