Just wondered if anybody in here are living off the grid....
Like way out. Being online by solar power or the likes.
I would concider that as interesting and intruiging.

Not yet, but it's been in the back of my mind a while...

It's hard when you don't own the land for it.

Oh, and off grid would mean no internet or phone to me... but that's me..

Yea, I guess you're right.
But one could still have a windmill running... or solar power.
Been on my mind for many years too.
Still right with the..."Totally OFF Grid."

I think you're thinking more like self sufficient, solar power, growing a garden, raising livestock, etc. I would love that.

The closest I came was being homeless in the city, but really I was using others resources, so not self sufficient, but kinda off grid.

Have a brother-in-law that has his compound property to do this... He said I get to help him build it once he gets a little more money... well he likes his toys a little too much so I doubt I will ever help him build his compound since he is paying for his toys...

But he has his guns and Ammo for WW3...

Yes I have... but it's my best choice.. ain't got the $ to build a bunker.. but the lake would provide.. unless it's a nuclear thing.. then..

If nukes hit...

It's the safest place, you may be down there forever though...

If there were a nuclear war, I wouldn't want to be alive.
