About GoOffGrid

Tyler Robinson grew up on Kauaʻi, where the forest, the river, and the ocean were more of a home than the small A-frame his dad built. He spent years since working in sustainability and tourism strategy, and as many years trying to find his way back to living off the land. When he started looking at real parcels, he kept hitting the same wall. The information that decides whether land can actually support that life was out there, scattered across dozens of government databases, with no way to pull it together for one specific property. And even when he found it, it was raw and technical and hard to read. So he built GoOffGrid.

There is a longer, more personal version of that story: I Grew Up Living Off the Land.

It's a property screening tool that checks off-grid and homestead viability using government data, makes sense of it for you, and translates it into what it means for the off-grid life you have in mind, so buyers can rule out bad parcels before spending money on site visits.

GoOffGrid exists because rural land purchases go wrong in predictable ways. Water rights misunderstood. Wildfire risk underestimated. Solar potential overstated. Infrastructure costs that only surface after the deal closes. None of that has to happen. The information exists: it's just scattered across public databases that most buyers don't know how to read. We pull it together, score it, and tell you what it means for your specific parcel. No lifestyle judgments, no politics. Just data, clearly explained, before you commit.
