Keith Thompson: Totally Off The Grid
April 13th, 2009
Keith aka Skeeter is living totally off the grid. Starting with a raw plot of land, he built his house from scratch, dug a well, created a solar power system and is completely responsible for all his waste. Keith is a good example of someone who got tired of paying utilities and mortgages to live on earth. He took matters into his own hands and decided to be as independent as possible. Deciding to live out in the wilderness is one way to go off the grid. We’ll be exploring other ways of …

He better have stash of plants growing out there to support his beer drinking.
Skeeter, nice work. Have you heard about yatropha plants? Look it up, it’s right down your alley and you might be able to grow them on your land for fuel.

Here’s finally someone that elevates himself above the rest. He does not have to put up with the stress of daily life. Total peace. Thumbs up to you, man.
the feeling of true freedom.
Thanks Skeeter. You’ve inspired me to work towards the same goal.
You seem to have had huge success here! nice work. Wondering if you live out there along or if you have a family? I’m working with a tv show, looking for families with teenagers who are living off the grid….any thoughts on who I can reach out too?
juliajdimon-if you’re working on a tv show, make sure you doublecheck the statement he made about anything he earns is disposable income – I don’t know of any place they don’t have property taxes, do you?
It is great that you are living naturally. I hope to be able to do the same soon.
I have property taxes but they are under $350 a year and we don’t pay in Arkansas unless they are over $350 because you homestead (just a piece of paper when you buy the house) to get the $350deduction. I have 3 bdrm house (bought for $33K) and pay no property taxes. Check it out. Cherokee Village, Arkansas. Population 6,000 and 16 miles from Missouri.
Great, informative video….go Skeeter!
juliajdimon, I might be interested please send me more details.
Check out my video ( Montana Off – Grid Living Video and Montana Land For Sale)
leave me a message.
Thanks
many rural areas do not charge property tax ….
The greatest part about the video is seeing the comments from so many people who want to do the same thing. People used to dream of a big house, fancy cars, etc… but this is truly the way to live. Good job Keith!! You are living my dream!!
I wonder if he uses a modified sine inverter?
people today are sick at being at the mercy of the utility companies who have no shame in charging what ever they like and we all know how unreliable they are. this video was one of the best i have seen on the subject…shows what a bit of homework can do.
