Welcome to steemit! I live "off-grid" in the mountainous region of North Carolina in the eastern side of the USA. I am quite interested in watching your posts about a similar lifestyle, but in a completely different part of the world!
Your intro post made me decide to like you already! I prefer to read and follow people who seem legit and real and you totally seem to score in those areas well so far! I'm following you to learn more about the world you live in and how you see it from your local perspective! I hope you will check out my posts too now and then! I've upvoted this post and re-steemed it as well! Good luck and we’ll see you out here in the steem, Steemitizen!

Thank you very much for your encouragement! I am starting at zero in terms of gardening and living self-sufficiently. But I knew I just had to do this, give it a go! I am not off grid as you, @SirCork.
When the electricity went down for two full days in May, my dear helper had to come to my farm house to get drinking water from my water tank. She even had to take her shower using my rain water. For me, no hot food for two days! Still learning. I need a camping stove!
I shower with spring water, and it's COLD! Always!
I highly recommend a butane camping stove if you can get one. Very efficient and easy to use, compared to white fuel and propane. Similar in cost for occasional useand much cleaner and easier to deal with than liquid fuels. I use this exact model all the time as my main cooking tool - mostly I cook coffee lol It boils a full size coffee pot in about two minutes. Super fast heat. I have seen them and clones that are probably fine (its not a complex device) for around $20 USD online - amazon and major sporting good suppliers
Many thanks @sircork. I will visit the camping-gears shops soon. But I already got a liquid gas burner for back-up. Another electricity blackout last weekend in Nongkhai. Perhaps, I have to start thinking about solar panels this year. I wish I had thirty hours a day!
Only 30 hours per day? You must be lazy! :D I need 300 hours a day!
