    #46 - Our crazy off-grid pleasure that’s good for you

    #46 - Our crazy off-grid pleasure that’s good for you

    We live off the grid and try to be energy efficient. But there are some things you simply have to prioritize--even if they do use a bit of power. In other words, your guilty pleasures.

    Want to know what ours is? It's the infrared sauna and we figured out how to make it happen with adding a bunch of extra cost to our off grid power system.

    You see, infrared saunas can bring tons of health benefits, but surely you couldn't power one off the grid, right?

    Wrong! We have incorporated infrared sauna treatments into our regular schedule for over a year, and we do it all off the grid. Join us from our sauna as we discuss how it works, which one we chose, and how we use it.

    The sauna we use: https://www.saunacomfort.com/

    Join us in The Ready Life Academy to learn all about making an off grid power system work for you:
