My sister has lived off the grid, in remote mountainous locations for the past twenty years, and this is her personal favorite. Lots of practical articles, with the focus on homesteading and self-reliance. The editorial staff’s strong Libertarian political view and survivalist leanings might be difficult for some folks to handle.
