Moving off the grid requires more than basic camping gear. Create a tailored checklist that includes shelter, water, power, heat, food, health, communication, repairs, and work. Pack durable, repairable gear, sturdy labeled bins, tools, repair supplies, safety equipment, and documentation. Separate first-week essentials for quick access. Adapt your list to the property’s infrastructure and local risks, and avoid overpacking nonessentials. Review and revise your kit as you settle in.
