Thanks for helping my spread the word. Actually most of the things in the book I have done, some I revised. The solar over I made, but a different version of it, I cooked hot dogs and hot chocolate in it in the dead of winter, under the sun when it was nearly -25 Celsius. No wifi at the orchard, I spend a lot of time at the library or at MCDonalds siphoning free wifi.

With an empty can and few parts from a hardware store it's possible to build a long-range wifi antenna. You should check it out

The thought of you living "off the grid," in an apple orchard was awesomely romantic, until you threw in the need to siphon wifi off of a McDonalds.
