Three printable tools to use before you spend money or commit to a move: a beginner planning checklist, an energy-use worksheet and a list of questions to ask when you view land. Six pages, PDF.
About 30 tick-off items across money, land, energy, water, food, health and community.
Work out your daily electricity use from your own appliance labels, with a worked example and the rough sizing formulas.
