Hi everyone, you may have noticed a new sponsor on my page, the one at the upper left side, this goes an interesting site all about the different ways you can build or make a home, some are quite conventional, some are pretty far out there, but they are all great ideas, probably some you haven't even thought of.

Gary, the owner of this site contacted me a few days ago asking about advertising on my blog, I get emails from time to time inquiring about this, the majority of the time, these ads would be for something that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of my blog, I am not interested in making a quick buck at your (my readers) expense. Gary's site is very much in line with what I believe you would be interested in, also be sure to check out the very bottom of Gary's page, there are lots and lots of links to Gary's other sites, they look pretty good. :)
If you have a website that you would like to promote on this blog, please shoot me an email with the link to the site you wish to advertise, my prices are very reasonable.

Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat Book Review
There are people who have seemingly unlimited funds to purchase whatever goodies they want. This book is not written for them, though they could glean some great ideas. It's really written for the rest of us, those who have limited incomes but still want to go off grid and live comfortably.
Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat
Creekmore writes with a very down to earth style. He gets right to the point. He didn't fill this book with fluff -- this book is written from experience -- he actually lives the life and walks the walk. I live 100% off grid, and have done everything on the cheap, I've lived this way since Dec '07, I can tell you that this book has some useful ideas and info.
This book covers most all of the bases, I say most only because there is always something that could be added no matter how complete a book might be. You will learn about buying land cheaply, how to get shelter, how to power your place, this is something that can get expensive, but Creekmore tells you how to do it on the cheap. He also tells you how to deal with waste and sanitation, about security, food, water and more.
This isn't about being a hermit living in a cave, wearing skins and eating worms, Creekmore does use modern technology, lights, radio, computer... he just does it smarter, and he is sharing this info with the rest of the world in this book, hopefully so that the reader will have a head start on what to do and what not to do.
The part that I found very interesting is the security section, a couple of the ideas are the kind that make you slap yourself in the head and say "Why didn't I think of that???" I also like the section on how to find cheap land. Without that, you probably will not be able to even get started living anywhere on the cheap.
Whether you already own raw land and just want to know how to get started living cheaply, or you are just thinking about doing this, I highly recommend this book. Thanks Creekmore for sharing your life and experiences with the rest of us.
