Off the grid for real!

This is a picture of a friends developing compound on his property which is located adjacent to the Cherokee NF and is totally "off the grid"! No indoor plumbing or electricity, he lives comfortably and you may notice the more permanent structures he's building in the trees above the tent.

He just climbs up the ridge a little bit for cell service and collects water in large 50+ gallon plastic containers. Simplicity.
