Is it possible to live in today’s world and actually live off-grid? For those non-preppers or new to preparedness - that means living without electricity.  In a new TV show the Sportsman Channel will feature Americans who have done just that - they live completely off the grid.  In fact, it is said that some 400,000 Americans in present day live off the grid achieving a more self-reliant lifestyle. As preparedness becomes more mainstream, over 3 million-plus Americans are working towards this more self-reliance lifestyle by planting gardens and raising small farm animals for vegetables, eggs and milk to supplement the ever escalating food prices. The Eight Americans; some with families, that are highlighted on ‘American Unplugged’  have gone even further by ‘pulling the plug’ and choosing instead to live off the grid; separating themselves from dependent on large corporations or local government for their electricity, water and sanitation.

The series will be hosted by former U.S. Navy SEAL/Sniper Cade Courtley, who understands what living in less than ideal condition means after spending more than 15 years in some of the most hostile places in the world.  Courtley will offer expertise on why millions of Americans are living "off the grid." by examining the constant effort it takes to live exclusively off the land and the daily struggle to provide food and shelter through very unique and refreshing stories by these Americans.

Cade Courtley will crack the window of preparedness and allow us to peer in to the lives of these Americans who have ditched the comforts we take for granted; instead taking significant steps to control their own safety, survival, and self-reliance in the wake of natural disasters and civil disturbances giving the viewers a true understanding of what it means to live off the grid. 

So, as we've seen time and time again, will this just be another exploitive invasion of good hard-working people's lives or be a positive and enlighten show about people who wish to be independent of goverment and all it has to offer to live a more self reliant lifestyle??

Only time will tell.
