Check out this "SITE"
The plan is to build a cabin / shelter / house from a shipping / sea container that is suitable for a weekend or a very lengthy stay. One that is self sustainable in a time of disaster for up to a year or longer if need be, and to have all the comforts of home, and more.
When finished it will have both grid and off grid capabilities. Water will be heated using solar energy with electric backup, or by wood stove if necessary. Lighting will be a combination of 110 volt, 12 volt or kerosene. Heating will be a wood stove and solar. Water will be provided by a well source
using both electric and hand pump to feed the cabin.
A large pantry that is mostly underground that will house at least a years supply of food.
There are lots more pictures and details on the blogsite as well as a homemade
Solar panel system from cans... Lots of GREAT IDEAS!
I also googled "Sea Container Home" and was amazed at all that is available as
far as plans , and ideas for this neat idea.
Here are some teaser pics for you.
