Giveaway is over and Jessica won! I have emailed her.
I love Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil and I use it for my baking and for my frying (have you ever tried a tortilla fried with it? MMMM!)
It works great as a skin softener too- ask me how I know!
But Ill be quiet now and let you read from the pros!
Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!
Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil?
Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.
Ok, now that you know about this great product I'll give you info on how to win it.

OK. I just subscribed to the newsletter through your link.
I think the greatest obstacle/challenge to off grid living would be no power ~ especially in regards to an air conditioner!
I am already subscribed to TT but haven't yet tried it.
As to your question, not sure of your alternative source of electricity, so I wonder how dependable it is in comparison and what luxuries or mere conveniences might be sacrificed. No doubt you are well equipped and possess the creativity and positive attitude for any challenges to living off the grid.

Biggest challenge living off grid? Staying on top of power production, there's no controlling mother nature for sunshine or wind, but I am in awe of those willing to do it (and just slightly jealous ;) wishing you the best and lots of natural productivity!

I think the biggest challenge might be power. Solar has always been a fascination of mine so I think I would head that way first. Being in Texas, you get lots of sunshine :)
Does the coconut oil leave a coconut taste? I'd love to try some, but my husband can't stand the taste or smell of coconut....My dream is to live off grid. During power outages we manage just fine as we have tons of working antiques and an old wood cook stove.
But, if you farm, I think your challenge may be what we face during ice storms--keeping the animals water supply from freezing. Its just hard to beat the electric stock tank heaters as the wind blows the propane ones out.

The hardest part of going off grid would be the lack of computer! I have to say we spend a lot of time on the computer, our liveleyhoods depend on it!

One big challenge would be hot water. Have you already thought of how you will make it? I am spoilt and love my hot showers! There are some very creative people out there that have come off the grid and found some great ways to overcome all of these obstacles.

I think the hardest part for you will be being away from online friends and doing the laundry with the pain you are in.
Love, Cass

I think what you will miss most is having much free time. You are looking at a lot of work to live like this. But then again, who knows, you might find this way of life more peaceful than dealing with all the modern problems we deal with each day. Sometimes throwing the computer in trash and running away sounds pretty good!

Biggest challenge: keeping the solar panels (assuming that is the way you will be going) in good shape to maximize the sun's energy

I think your greatest challenge will be to do "business" in this online world...banking/paying bills/finding information. It's all so easy to do with a computer.

Hardest part I think would be adjusting to not being able to have things done quicker/convenience.

Hubz and I have also considered moving "off the grid." I can see meeting every challenge except one--Internet access. It'snot just a question of surfing the net and keeping up with friends. Its also about keeping up with the news. Learning valuable information, even information about how to do things "off the grid."

Hardest part would be not having electricity for air conditioning right now along with not having internet connection in order to keep up with the world.

Wow--I think your greatest challenge will be keeping up with all your power needs and having things take longer to do.

You might have some challenges with no electricity, how will you do laundry and have a fridge/stove? Do you have safety concerns?

I love the idea of going back to the old days, people appreciated more back then...but your just wanting to go without electric...so
I think it'd be hard without a phone and internet, if you have a cell phone, you'd still need to charge it, heat your own water!
I guess it might work if you used gas, or a generator, you'd still have a stove for if your fire or pit couldn't be used when it rained! Guess you would make your own candles maybe? lol
Good luck on if you decide to try that! I would make lots of soups and stews...would love to live on solar power if I could afford it!
How awesome it would be to go off the grid!! Slower communications with the outside world would be a concern. Careful with the candles! :) My opinion is that it will be well worth it!! God bless!!

Hardest part if you go off grid- how are you going to chat with me???? lol
