Homesteading and Livestock

Missouri entrepreneur Sophek “Sean” Tounn believes to survive any number of potential calamities, we must relearn ancient skills now – the ones developed before modern technology weakened us, the skills that draw upon human muscle and ingenuity. 

Tounn says we need to think beyond alternative energy and pursue simple lives. His mission is so vital that he is traveling the country at his expense to film those who could help spread his message in a documentary, “Beyond Off Grid: A liberating look at true freedom & self-sufficiency by returning to the old paths.” 

The goal is to educate people about our super-dependency on the grid system, and how dangerous that can be, Tounn said. 

The film is slated to be released at the end of this year or early 2014 and includes about a dozen experts in a wide range of self-sufficiency topics such as permaculture gardening, natural homebuilding, wild edibles and aquaponics. 

“By exposing the weaknesses of the modern financial, transportation, and food production systems, and bringing to light the solutions that are available by learning the older ways of doing things, this film seeks to inspire folks to a greater degree of self-sufficiency while trusting in God,” Tounn said.The world’s most efficient and cost effective solar street lighting? 

Already living a beyond-off-grid lifestyle with his wife, their four homeschooled children, two dogs and a cat in a south-central Missouri cabin, Tounn stopped in to interview my husband, Darren, this month. Tounn learned of Darren after reading Mother Earth News blogger Ed Essex’s article in January about Darren’s hand pump machine. 

Darren’s contribution to the documentary included his mistake of relying on solar- and wind-power systems for water. We learned that during storms – when we were most likely to truly need these alternative energy systems – they were useless. For more than a week, ice coated the solar panels and wind turbines, rendering them inoperable. Another time, lightning damaged the solar system’s electrical components. Without these systems operating, our well pump – our sole water source – could not function.
