My family and I have been wanting to move off the grid for some time now. We feel into an oppoutunity to do a documentry for the Discovery channel about a family moving off the grid. We would recieve $4000 in compensation as well as expert help during a 6 month filming. We have to buy our own land, an pay for everything else. We relly want to do this, but I am worried about money, how we will fair living in a yurt with 5 kids for 6 months while we build our strawbale. Not to mention we have a very meager savings (like $9000) would that even be enough to try this? We were supposed to leave to the the show in June, but I chickened out and said maybe August. Dose anyone have any suggestions or ideas for me? I am overwhelmed right now and need guidence.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin">
