The Realities of Off Grid Living in NZ | Sharron and Scott's Lifestyle Block | GridFree Living

What does it take to live on a lifestyle block, in New Zealand? In this episode, Craig visits Sharron and Scott to ask them about their journey to self-sufficiency and the realities of off-grid living on their lifestyle block in Northland. We chat about the challenges, the maintenance, and the awesome achievements throughout their journey!

After moving from a comfortable residential home to living off-grid on a bare ex-forestry block, Sharron acknowledges that the journey to restore the land has been a challenge. Sharron and Scott have since installed electric fences for their cattle, and by using as much recycled material as possible, developed an outhouse and other dwellings, with much much more still to go. With Sharron and Scott's Off-Grid Solar Kit installed, making their dreams a reality has become much more achievable. They can now run lights, TV, phone and laptop chargers, WIFI router, and their essential household appliances.
