Living Off the Grid in the City Podcast. Here I discuss the preparedness advantages for off-gridders when it comes to the climate crisis. It is well documented that many climate events are made worse by the human-caused global warming. Storms are apparently increasing in severity and regularity. They can bring crises to an area, and knock out many grid connected services. It may be convenient, even vital, to be off the grid ahead of a storm. Here I explain why. Likewise, floods are apparently increasing in severity and regularity. They can bring destruction to your area, and disable many grid connected services. It may be advantageous, even vital, to be off the grid ahead of a flood. Here I explain why. Also, droughts are apparently increasing in severity and regularity. They can bring scarcity to your area, and affect many grid connected services, like food distribution. It may be best to be off the grid ahead of a drought. Here I explain why. And, heatwaves are likely increasing in severity and regularity. They can bring disruptions to your area and disable many grid connected services, like power. It may be critical to be off the grid ahead of a heatwave. Here I explain why.Hector Vladimir 2023, 2025©https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc6nd-_C6bkiKnMxLBg7DfgKhttp://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechhttps://www.youtube.com/@HBCSolarPVTechByronPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/hectorvladimirSubstack: https://hectorvladimir.substack.com/

09 Freedom of movement, employment and privacy. Living Off the Grid in the City Podcast. Freedom of movement, employment, and privacy. Here I discuss the freedom of movement. The ability for people to migrate from one place to another should not be curtailed. If you limit any other animal’s movement, such as fencing them in, you will surely harm their ability to survive on their own. Likewise, people need the ability to move away from harm and scarcity, and into safer and resourceful areas. To go against this logic is to make people suffer unnecessarily. An example of this is the situation in Gaza. People also need to be able to work voluntarily, not forced. Forced labor is equal to slavery. Paid forced labor, for example, is recognized as waged slavery. Living off the grid better situates individuals to resist forced employment and make it an optional choice. Under our economic system, employment is practically an obligation, not an option. And, this is barbaric and despotic. Lastly, I discuss in depth the importance of privacy. Privacy is your right to remain anonymous under normal circumstances. It is your right to be left alone, and not surveilled by anyone or any system. It is harmful to most people to be constantly surveilled and controlled by an entity. As the entity doing the surveilling, has the power to control, manipulate you, or even harm you. Abuses to privacy are many, and here I discuss its implications and the advantages of remaining private.

Living Off the Grid in the City Podcast. Freedom of expression, pursuit of happiness, and financial freedom. Here I discuss the importance of freedom of expression in the context of living off grid. You must ensure that your environment affords you freedom to express yourself, so that you are able to openly live off grid. And, if that freedom is not afforded, you may take steps to change that situation. Petitioning, demanding, and moving away; are a few options. Alternatively, you may find clever ways to live off the grid anyway. The pursuit of happiness is another right you may invoke to live off the grid. You may not be forced to live a certain way, thus you may choose to live off grid freely. At least you should be able to make this choice. I understand that many around you may not agree with living off grid, and may try to stop you. But, this is against human and constitutional rights. You may be financially free by extension of living off grid. Your higher knowledge, self-sufficiency, and income potential may allow you to be wealthy, or not need much money. Some may not need money at all.Hector Vladimir 2023-2025©https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc6nd-_C6bkiKnMxLBg7DfgKhttp://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechhttps://www.youtube.com/@HBCSolarPVTechByronPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/hectorvladimirSubstack: https://hectorvladimir.substack.com/

Living Off the Grid in the City Podcast. Peace and freedom – part 2. Simplify your life. Here I discuss how you get freedom of choice by your efforts to live off the grid. Choice is a freedom you must have to be successful in many of your off grid endeavors freely and openly. If these freedoms to choose have been curtailed in your area, for whatever reason, you must be creative and resourceful to get around many restrictions. Even here in the US many off grid choices have been limited, especially in large cities. For example, the choices to disconnect, collect water, and grow food; have been challenged repeatedly. Here, I also discuss how living off grid allows you to contribute to world peace and, end violent conflicts over resources.

To be self-sufficient in food you may not depend on any payment or outside entity to be able to eat. As generally you should not ask for permission to breathe or drink, you should not have to pay to be able eat. I believe access to food to be a human right, therefore it should not be limited by your ability to pay. Even high-quality foods. Here I present your options on how to grow food and farm animals for food for free.Hector Vladimir 2025©Living Off the Grid in the City Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechhttps://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechbyronhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552559207892https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc6nd-_C6bkiKnMxLBg7DfgKhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5079280https://www.bitchute.com/channel/1yG6vacOmMN7Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/hectorvladimirSubstack page: https://hectorvladimir.substack.com/For information purposes only.
