Hello,
My name is Rusty and I am new to self sufficiency. What sparked my interest is that I have a service that delivers malaria nets to babies living in the Amazon. I own 15 acres along the Amazon and I am building a home there off the grid (of course). It will be our home base to deliver nets , do scientific research, and give tours.
I want to learn how to make it 100% sufficient. I need to run a water pump, a few lights, and whatever possible to make being there as comfortable as possible.
Any ideas, recommendations, or information are welcomed,
Thanks
Rusty

Re: Amazon research station
Oooo, tropical ishiness!!! Wow! Given the number of trees in that area that produce year-round, I'd say you could live quite comfortably on a well-planted single acre, and you've got 15!
Ok, I'll stop drooling now.
