Living off the grid can be exceedingly challenging, but it can also be highly gratifying. Going off the grid provides independence – while everyone is grumbling about government expansion and corporate consumerism, you’ll escape the rat race.
Living off the grid is not for everyone. However, for those prepared to make the drastic lifestyle shift, it will reduce their growing reliance on income and increase their time spent with family. This guide will teach you how to live off the grid.
But before you start planning your modern-day homestead, you’ll need to consider several fundamental questions:
Will you make use of electricity? If so, how will you produce it?
Where are you going to obtain your water?
How much cash will you require?
How will you connect to the internet if you still require it?
Will you buy food, or will you cultivate and hunt it?
Without law enforcement, how will your off-the-grid community be protected?
Even just looking over this list of questions can be intimidating. And this is only to make a preliminary educated decision. It will become much more difficult once you have decided to go off the grid. Living off-grid necessitates a significant initial investment in terms of time, money, and energy. However, once the project is up and running, you’ll probably feel fantastic about leaving the rat race and reconnecting with the land.
This survival guide brings fun and practical projects designed to get you thinking creatively about going green.
