No Grid Survival Projects Review (2026): What's Inside the Book
An independent look at this off-grid DIY project book — what it covers, what it costs and who will actually use it.
What is No Grid Survival Projects?
No Grid Survival Projects is a printed book (with a digital version) led by Michael Major, an Army veteran, with contributions from co-authors including Claude Davis, Amber Robinson and James Walton. It collects more than seventy DIY projects aimed at keeping a household going during long power outages or emergencies.
How it works
Each project comes with a materials list, step-by-step instructions and illustrations. Projects are grouped by theme — for example water collection and filtration, food preservation and storage, heating and lighting, and small backup power ideas — and most are designed around inexpensive, easy-to-find materials.
What you get
- Printed book of about 300 pages (digital access also offered)
- 70+ DIY projects with materials lists
- Step-by-step instructions with illustrations
- Projects grouped by theme: water, food, heat, light, power
- Any extras or bonuses are listed on the official order page
Pros and cons
