How many of you have been able to move off grid?
Discussion
I hope to someday.
See and feel what it will be like when you are..
And you will.
All is possible.
I dream about it daily. I imagine the peace and quiet, building and working on the land with my own hands, growing things, raising animals. I could do it now, tbh, but I'd feel bad about moving away from my Mom in her golden years.
Why did you move?
I moved a few times in the last few years. Key getting further from the city and more into nature. It's just how I was pulled. I treasure my silence, solitude, and freedom. Living isolated in the desert feels safe to me. I find people to be unpredictable.

We are fully off
I have a long ways to go. Got the power fogired out pretty well. Still am dependent on others for water and food. Little by little.
We aren't growing much of our food. We pull trout out of the river regularly.
Most of the food we buy from the farmers around us. 1/4 of a cow + a CSA share with veggies, fruit, eggs, and honey once a week.
Could go full off grid with food but we find it's enjoyable to go hang with our community and support the great projects the people around us are working on. That said, we will definetly be incrementally increase the amount of food we produce on the property.
That's awesome. It takes a lot to be fully self sustainable. I am not in a rish either. I feel more prepared than 99.9% and that's good enough for me. And I also like staying connected to a community.
