"It's just amazing for a newbie like me"

"It's been a joy to learn so many new things and have bonus links for more research.
Living more sustainably and closer to nature has been a pipe dream for a while, and the course helps me understand challenges I couldn't even fathom - so in terms of cost-benefit, it's just amazing for a newbie like me."

"I love the course and I love being connected to the wonderful community of people"

This course gives an in depth look at every system we need in order to get up and running our off-grid (or even partially off grid) sustainable lifestyles. I have been researching for a number of years piecing together information here and there about different systems, different choices within each system and quite frankly, it's been exhausting and overwhelming. I had often felt like giving up. This course does all the leg work for me, even covering all the important reasons we need to be doing this for our families, our health and for future generations, and I get to get down to the business of implementing the strategies I choose, which are very clearly explained. I'm learning so much in every single video. I'm constantly sharing the nuggets of wisdom I'm learning with my family and everyone is getting excited about the new ways of living. I really enjoy seeing Kemble's friendly face and his positive attitude about even our small changes being able to make a huge difference is reassuring. A lot of people teaching this kind of lifestyle have a survival of the fittest attitude, hardcore negative about society with a "lack" mentally. Thankfully, none of those things are present in this course or Kemble's delivery. It's all about making the world a better place and improving our lives without relying on old systems that simply do not work or cannot / should not be relied upon. I love the course and I love being connected to the wonderful community of people, in all different stages of off-grid living. THANK YOU for this amazing course, app and community.

We personally test, evaluate and endorse every off-grid product we promote. If we don't like it, we don't include it in our Land Lab SIM app. Our mission is to help educate EVERYONE about sustainable off-grid systems and concepts. We have built our Acorn Land Lab as our educational laboratory. We wanted to design meaningful projects that anybody could enjoy: from toddlers to grandparents! Our approach to teaching people about off-grid systems is to teach you how to do practical things: collect rain water, grow local food, harvest clean energy, build innovative shelters, & monitor these circular systems with digital tools.

Every system is connected to another system. Studying the rich connections is why Acorn Land Labs exists.
Humans are meant to work with our minds and our hands. Learning about off-grid ideas by building practical systems is what we love to do.

What systems do I need to go off-grid?

How is water collected? What about the systems to grow food? How much clean energy can be harnessed? What shelters are enough to live a good life simply?
