I recently came across Off-Grid.Net, a website dedicated to sustainable, off-grid living. Michael Bunker is a contributing writer, and is writing an on-going book, which is published in chapter form. The link below takes you to his book. I've only read the introduction thus far. However, I am in agreement with many of his thoughts (except all the god stuff), especially about the downfall of civilization and the possibility of that happening to the modern world. I've long been saying that the United States will go the way of Rome someday.
Here's the link to the chapter list:
Surviving Off Off-Grid
Be forewarned, this guy is super-preachy, in the religious sense. His entire premise on off-grid survival is to be obedient to God, and to live according to scripture. Saying that I disagree with the religious concepts in his book is to disagree with much of the book itself. But his ideas on sustainable and minimalist living are intriguing.

Off-Grid Survival
If you take away their comforts, people are just like any other animal.
I think there are probably better sources for the 2 percent of what he's saying that's not bullshit, but he'd say much the same thing about me.
You should just spend a weekend chillin' with the Amish. There's nothing this guy can tell you that you can't learn watching them, and applying your own knowledge of modern technology; between the two is your middle ground, wherever you'd like it to be.
