Vela Creations is a documentation of our experiences and projects living off the grid. We are a young couple striving to fulfill our lifestyles through sustainable means. Our hope is that our experiences will serve as guidence to those interested in the technologies and methods illustrated on this site. We have organized the site into the major requirements of our lifestyle. Energy deals with every aspect of managing resources, fuels and electrcity, as well as creating an integrated power system for your homestead. Water supplies, storage and usage are important to everyone, and the issues and obstacles faced in this section will help you manage your water requirements. We all must eat, and Food deals withall aspects, from animals and gardening to cooking and preparation. Of course, you will need a place to hang your hat, and this is where Shelter provides detailed information on building techniques and alternatives available to the owner/builder. Waste is a topic dear to our hearts as it is a commonality to all people in all places, but knowing how to manage waste is a rare skill, so get the facts and the methods to make use of that every growing mountain of garbage. Transportation is quite clearly a necessity in this world, and there are many options available depending on how fast you want to go and where. Each section illustrates our research into what we have created, what others are doing, and what is possible. Join us in this adventure and learn from our mistakes and successes. Please read our Safety Section before experimenting or beginning any project. Learn the safe way to handle tools and yourself when working with dangerous materials. It's Hummingbird Season!
