About OTG Report

OTG Report is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to off-grid living and DIY self-reliance.

We publish clear, step-by-step content on:

  • Solar power (sizing, components, troubleshooting)
  • Water collection, filtration, storage, and pumping
  • Sanitation and waste systems
  • Tools, gear, and maintenance
  • Repairs, preparedness, and resilient routines

Our goal is simple: help you make confident decisions and build systems that work in the real world.

How we make recommendations

Some articles include product recommendations. When we do:

  • We focus on suitability, safety, and long-term reliability
  • We call out trade-offs (cost, complexity, maintenance)
  • We avoid hype, gimmicks, and unrealistic claims
  • We prioritize beginner-friendly options whenever possible

We also publish “how-to” guides that recommend gear only when it improves safety, reliability, or ease of use.
