  • I’ve done the same thing. Was already living off grid when I was surprise unemployed last year. Made it about 3 months with no outside input, but eventually got sick from previous medical issues, so had to file for unemployment so I could have enough money to see a doctor.

    A year later I’m now back in regular society with a regular job, trying to save up and start over.

    I’ve learned that I can be prepared physically to go months on my own. But mentally is a different game altogether. Most of the prepper types would likely struggle without a support group. Being by yourself for long periods of time is FAR harder than most people think (myself included). The first few weeks are pretty easy, but it gets significantly harder every day.


  • Did you bother to look into it at all? What you are asking doesn’t even make sense from a design standpoint.

    Nobody asked for a car you can print.

    The way they are building their electric truck is the smartest way. Using available, off-the-shelf parts that have proven reliability. Nobody is going to be using CAD to create custom parts. Reinventing the wheel is precisely the problem and Edison Motors is working to avoid those mistakes.

    Also, they are taking design input/feedback at the consumer level right now, BEFORE they have a ‘completed’ product to purchase. This is as close to open source as you can get in my opinion.

    You could literally buy the same parts out of a warehouse and build a logging truck yourself if you wanted to.

    Or you can sit on the internet and complain without having any idea what you’re talking about.
