THE TOP 10 / OFF-GRID & SELF-RELIANCE
THE TOP 10. RANKED.
Our ranked lists for living off the grid and getting through hard times: places, food, power, water, skills and gear. Every list is our own ranking, with the reasons behind each pick and the sources we used. A new list every few days.
Most of a grocery store is gone in a year. These ten foods, packed right, will still feed your family in 20 to 30 years. We ranked them by how long they last and how much they actually do for you when the shelves are empty. Number one is not what most people stock.
Not too hot, not too cold, water you can count on, a real growing season and room from the neighbors. We ranked the 10 best states for living off the grid, and nearly all of them sit in one belt of the country.
