International Off-Grid Guides
Alt Ordo's off-grid location guides now go beyond the US. Each country gets the same treatment as our US guides: every county-level area scored with the Freedom Score (0–10) from official data, and the local and national rules on tiny homes, RVs, composting toilets, building permits and livestock read and linked, with the number to call. Metric units, local currency.
