    THE SHED

    Free gear, no catch – take it or leave it

    Got leftover insulation? A bundle of wiring? Tools you don’t need anymore? Stick it in The Shed — our free swap zone for the off-grid community.

    This isn’t a marketplace. It’s a place to clear space, share what you don’t need, and help someone else keep their van, boat, or cabin project rolling.
