If anyone here is interested in self sufficiency, you may want to check out Off the Grid with Les Stroud. Stroud produced the 90-minute special documenting his family's journey to building an off-the-grid home. The show, chronicled the process of buying property and refiting an old farm house with solar and wind power, a raincatcher and well, as well as the adjustments the Stroud family had to make to adapt to this style of living.I just finished viewing it, and it was quite informative as well as entertaining.
