It seems like so many people who talk about off grid want to be offgrid inflooencers.

That greatly affects how they talk to people. If you have ever encountered an old friend who recently got into multi-level marketing, you know what I am talking about. You are no longer their friend. You are a money making opportunity. I didnt move off the grid to be famous. lol. I did it to remove as much of the establishment system's influence from my life as I possibly could.

There are ways of thinking, in my opinion which are early indicators of someone who will succeed at it. One of them is thinking, "this will probably suck, but the freedom is worth it."

You have never experienced "suck" until youve had multiple system failures in a snow storm.

There is no lineman getting paid overtime hours who will turn your power back on bitches. Get out there and fix it.

But then there are also those days when you hear from someone that there was a serious region wide power outage. Which you would never have noticed without being told.

I keep pondering how to share some of this experience I am gaining, but I keep bumping up against my distaste for inflooencer culture. Which is probably something I should just get over, and all things, good and bad, pass through culture from influence of some kind. I can feel that some of this experience is worth its weight in bitcoin, and it would be a shame to just keep it all to myself. I will probably start small, and if you like it, super. if you dont, go suck a toad.
