Publisher's Synopsis
No roads. No water lines. No electric grid. Just you, the ocean, and miles of raw, black lava. Welcome to Kalapana, where the land is still cooling, the air smells like salt and adventure, and off-grid isn't a trend, it's a necessity.
In this witty and brutally honest guide, survival expert Steven Wild takes you through everything you need to know about setting up a home on the lava: catching rainwater because there's no tap, harnessing solar power because lava doesn't have outlets, and building a house that won't sink into a crack. Learn how to grow food on rock, handle toxic volcanic smog, and prepare for the occasional lava flow that might or might not rearrange your front yard.
Living off-grid in Kalapana isn't easy, but if you're ready for a life of freedom, resilience, and waking up to the most stunning sunrise on Earth, this book will show you how to do it right. Just remember, Pele makes the rules out here.
