Updated: Apr 1

At Orange Eco Land, we've discovered a completely new concept for off-grid living. Everything you've encountered online about off-grid life doesn't quite compare to what's presented here. This concept simplifies the process of beginning a new life significantly.



Exciting news!


This concept transcends the existing boundaries and models of life as we know it. It's safe to say that we're embarking on the path to the future.



"Jovan Eco House New Life is a completely new concept for living, blending elements of off-grid living with modern amenities."

Are you ready to embrace a modern off-grid lifestyle? While many aspects of this lifestyle may seem daunting, there are practical steps you can take to prepare yourself. Although there's no one-size-fits-all recipe for success, there are common principles to consider. Let's delve into some key steps to help you transition smoothly:


  1. Revamp Your Eating Habits: Start by exploring alternatives to ready-made foods. Seek out recipes for quick and delicious dishes tailored to your preferences. Consider delving into the world of food preservation to make the most of your resources.

  2. Stock Up on Spices: Collecting and even preparing your own spices can add flavor and variety to your meals. Familiarize yourself with the plants used to create these spices and where to find them in nature.

  3. Invest in Tools: Equip yourself with a variety of tools suited for life off-grid, including shovels, axes, and screwdrivers. These essentials will prove invaluable for tasks around the house, garden, or forest.

  4. Prepare a Medicine Kit: As access to medical facilities may be limited, ensure you have essential medications and first aid supplies on hand. A well-stocked first aid kit can be a lifesaver in emergencies.

  5. Consider Your Transportation Needs: If your current vehicle isn't suitable for off-grid living, consider investing in a larger, more rugged vehicle or even a motorhome. Your vehicle should accommodate your needs and serve as a temporary or permanent base.

  6. Furnish Your Home Sustainably: Avoid bringing toxic or bulky furniture from your previous life. Instead, explore eco-friendly furniture options or consider crafting your own with assistance from local workshops.

  7. Utilities: Depending on your chosen off-grid community, essential utilities such as water, electricity, and sanitation may be provided (at Orange Eco Land they are!) Confirm what services are available and communicate your needs accordingly.

  8. Assess Your Readiness: Reflect on the challenges and requirements outlined in your preparations. Check out this blog post for pointers. Do you have the necessary skills and tools to thrive in your new lifestyle? Take action to fill any gaps.

  9. Streamline Electricity Usage: Minimize reliance on electricity-consuming devices and opt for energy-efficient alternatives. Embrace tools and appliances powered by rechargeable batteries for sustainability.

  10. Minimize Distractions: Dispose of unnecessary electronics and entertainment devices. Embrace the abundance of natural activities and exploration opportunities that off-grid living offers.

  11. Stock Up on Essentials: Ensure you have a supply of essential pantry items that cannot be produced locally. Stock up on staples like tea, coffee, and spices to enhance your culinary experiences.

  12. Hone Your Skills: Embrace the challenges of living off-grid by continually learning and acquiring new skills. Identify areas where you can expand your knowledge and expertise.

  13. Make Time for Recreation: Prioritize activities that bring you joy and fulfillment during your free time. Whether it's sports, photography, or simply immersing yourself in nature, allocate time for activities that nourish your soul.


By following these steps and embracing the off-grid lifestyle with determination and adaptability, you can forge a fulfilling and sustainable way of living. Share your experiences and insights with others through blog posts and community engagement, and remember that support and resources are available to help you along the way. Best of luck on your off-grid journey!
