And so much more!
Inside you will find 70 ingenious projects that can help you protect your own family in times of economic crisis, long-term blackouts, riots, hyperinflation, hurricanes, martial law, or other unforeseen events that may come our way.
But the immediate payoff of having these projects is that they make you independent and self-sufficient on your own property. You don’t want to depend on anyone for your basic needs!
It only makes sense financially to start producing some of the stuff you need at home instead of making other people rich. The money you save each month adds up over time, so these projects will pay for themselves and turn you a steady profit afterward.
I choose to save all these projects in a physical book so that you can still have access to them in a blackout or after an EMP. But, I also made videos for each project showing you how I did it, and all you need to do is follow me step by step from start to finish, no matter if you choose to use the book or the videos. You will receive both anyway.
All my instructions and sketches are extremely precise, without leaving anything out, so that anyone can rebuild them easily, not like those instructions from IKEA when you have to guess some of the steps yourself.
Inside you'll also find pictures along the way, with materials needed and where to get them cheap as well as links where you can order the exact same materials I used. This way there’s no room for error as we are using the same stuff.
For every project, you will find at the very beginning the cost of materials, the difficulty level, and the time needed to complete it. That way you have every piece of information you need from the get-go, and you can always plan ahead.
All of the projects I’m about to share with you are incredibly affordable to build. They’re designed for those who want to save money and become more self-sufficient, not just for those with unlimited resources who don’t worry about their monthly expenses.
These projects are also quick and easy to complete. Even with a full-time job and family commitments, I was able to build them in my spare time, and so can you. It doesn’t matter your age, gender, or experience anyone can start taking steps toward greater independence, preparedness, and financial savings today!
You'll learn how to build a smart rainwater harvesting system that can store up to 165 gallons of water—water that would otherwise go to waste.
Since the system stores water vertically, it naturally becomes pressurized by gravity, eliminating the need for a pump or siphon. I completed this project in just three hours, and it can serve you for a lifetime, keeping your garden watered effortlessly. Plus, if you connect it to the water filter I’ll show you next, you’ll have a reliable source of clean drinking and cooking water.
You can build this water filter in less than 30 minutes by using three empty buckets stacked on top of each other. The irony in the aftermath of Katrina was that even if people were surrounded by water as far as the eyes could see, many were almost dehydrated to death as that water was dirty and unsafe.
The Backyard Power Plant is a self-sufficient, DIY solar energy system designed to keep essential devices like a small fridge, TV, and laptop running during a blackout or after an EMP.
What makes this system so practical is that its solar panels, battery bank, and other components are unaffected by an EMP, as they contain no vulnerable circuits. Beyond emergencies, you can also use the Backyard Power Plant to power lights, charge your phone, run air conditioning, and keep other critical appliances operational when the grid goes down.
A diesel or propane generator makes a lot of noise that will attract unwanted attention, and the fuel for a 20-kilowatt generator costs around $200 per day. That would be around $6,000 a month if you use it each day. Unlike a diesel generator, the Backyard Power Plant costs nothing to operate.
In the detailed videos and chapter dedicated to building this ingenious system, you’ll see where to buy the most reliable and inexpensive components, from solar panels to inverters and controllers, and how to assemble and wire everything correctly, even if your electrical skills are non-existent.
You'll learn how to make black powder the traditional way using just three simple ingredients all of which can be legally purchased from Amazon or Walmart.
Black powder has numerous survival applications, but most importantly, having the knowledge to make it yourself ensures you always have a reliable way to protect your property in challenging times.
You’ll also discover how to make your own wind turbine and take advantage of the free wind trespassing on your property each day using either an Ametek DC motor or, even better, salvaged motors of electric bikes and Segways, treadmill motors, or fan motors of car engines.
You’ll also find out how to make one of the most powerful survival foods known to man. Pemmican was invented by the indigenous people of North America to preserve meat without refrigeration. It’s a very high-energy food made out of ground meat, rendered fat, and woodland berries. Just half a pound of Pemmican provides your body with almost 2,000 calories.
With this simple project, you can turn an idle fence into a hidden but beautiful garden. You can make it from wooden planters or even discarded pallets. Even people who pass by, looking over the fence would not see it.
You’ll also discover how to protect yourself and your family from looters and dangerous intruders that can surprise you in your sleep. Preventing someone from entering your home starts at the property line. You’ll need to set up traps like the hidden razor-blade wire, the camouflaged spike trap, or the tripwire alarm that wakes you up when someone is sneaking in your yard.
Smells can travel for as much as half a mile from where you are cooking. If it is post-collapse and there are hungry people out there, you can bet that every one of them who smells what you’re cooking will come calling – and they might not be the ideal dinner guests.
I’ll also show you how to make a simple water heater that provides you with FREE hot water each time you use your stove. This heating coil, as I call it, can be made and added to any wood stove in under an hour to give you hot water for life. If you choose to connect it to the off-grid shower, you’ll have an off-grid hot water shower.
You can make the recycled off-grid shower either using cracked or damaged IBCs that have no more use or two wooden pallets and a plastic sheet. So even if there’s no more running water, you can still take a shower while your neighbors are pouring buckets of water over their heads
In another chapter, Amber reveals how to identify and utilize 40 of the most powerful wild remedies found across North America.
With full-color pictures for each plant, No Grid Survival Projects makes it easy to recognize and use these natural remedies whenever you need them—whether in the wild or right in your backyard.
Inside No-Grid Survival Projects, you’ll discover all sorts of traps you can make to get rid of pests without harming or killing them. You’ll also find out how to turn a simple plastic bottle into an efficient device that traps wasps, hornets, and mosquitos and how to use dishwashing liquid to get rid of fruit flies.
Michael Major, the author of No Grid Survival Projects, is a 40-year-old father of two and a former infantry soldier who served his country for seven years, including nearly seven months overseas as a NATO peacekeeper. During his service, he witnessed firsthand how quickly a civilized society can collapse during a widespread disaster and how unprepared most people are when that happens. That experience drove him to create this book—to help people become self-sufficient and ready for any crisis.
After his time in the Army, Michael Major transitioned into a career as a welder and fabricator in the aerospace industry, where he built parts and tools for Boeing. In an industry where precision is everything, he learned that even the smallest details can make the biggest difference. That same level of precision is reflected in No Grid Survival Projects. Every instruction and sketch is carefully designed to be clear, precise, and easy to follow, leaving nothing out—unlike those frustrating IKEA manuals where you have to guess half the steps.
Michael firmly believes in self-reliance. He doesn’t want to be at the mercy of others when disaster strikes—he wants to protect himself, his wife, and his two boys, no matter what happens. And he wants to do so safely, from home, because in a collapsed world, stepping outside could mean putting yourself at risk. The survival projects he developed aren’t just about protection—they’re also about saving money, achieving self-sufficiency, and becoming truly independent on your own property, on your own terms.
No Grid Survival Projects is a comprehensive survival guide created by Michael Major, a former infantry soldier and aerospace fabricator. The book includes 75+ detailed, step-by-step projects designed to help people become completely self-sufficient and prepared for any crisis—whether it’s a blackout, food shortage, or economic collapse.
Inside, readers will learn how to generate off-grid power, secure a clean water supply, grow and store food, and protect their homes. Key projects include building a Backyard Power Plant, a 165-gallon rainwater harvesting system, long-term food storage methods, and even homemade black powder for security. The book also features a wild remedies section, showing how to identify and use 40 powerful medicinal plants found in North America.
With precise instructions and clear sketches, No Grid Survival Projects makes it easy for anyone to follow along—without any guesswork. Whether you’re looking to cut costs, prepare for emergencies, or gain total independence, this book is the ultimate guide to thriving without relying on modern utilities.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book contains important information for our future survival
“This book contains critically important information for our individual and collective futures. I commend the authors for their commitment and spirit of re-pioneering how to live on the land sustainably and self-sufficiently.
I'm glad to have this book as a reference for the future.
I also want to note that my experience with the seller/publisher was exemplary when I contacted them to resolve an issue I had with the product. The seller quickly and diligently, and thoughtfully, got back to me and offered very reasonable alternatives. I chose one and the issue is completely resolved.
Five stars for superlative customer service.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The garden sketch alone is worth it
“This book has so much useful information. We aren't planning on building our own house, being off grid or even entirely self sufficient, but we've always wanted to be able to grow a large percentage of our own food, and this reaches you how to do it in a small space without breaking your back. I've gone from feeling overwhelmed to super excited.”
Lauren LaCorte
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very straightforward instructions...
“Watching current world events, many of the projects in this book have real world application. We in the US take our electrical grid for granted, but what if it went down, even for a few weeks. This book provides detailed instructions for electrical power generation using solar panels, and a Gilligan’s Island type bicycle generator.
Each project comes with a parts list, photos of each part, and the source the author used for the part. I just received my copy yesterday and today, I am cleaning my garage out so I have workspace to start a couple of the projects. This is a good investment in my humble opinion!!”
Patrick M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A treasure trove!
“I only just started this book, and since we get constant power outs (ha, a lot of practice for long grid downs or the rolling blackouts the new says are coming) just the info on water alone was enough for five stars. Many interesting projects, admittedly I may not do but a small amount of them, but the info is laid out VERY clearly, with links for materials, and the steps are clear for the projects I have scanned thus far.
A huge amount of work has gone into this book, and you can feel his enthusiasm and joy in building these contraptions! I think it is worth more than the price....the book is beautiful, full of color. I may order a few more for gifts. Very surprised....not "just another" off grid book. The best I have ever seen.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even if you’re just interested in saving some money [...] this is a perfect book.
“This book has been perfect for me. I am someone who loves DIY, and someone who wants to be prepared for when things go wrong.
I’ve gotten a few books like this one before and had previously been disappointed. Either by the relatively small number of projects, or by poorly written instructions.
Not the case with this book! So many projects that are all relevant! Excellent step by step instructions taking all the guesswork out!
Even if you’re just interested in saving some money, and being a little bit of a homesteader. This is a perfect book.”
