The only folks who truly live off the grid are NOT on the internet....think living like folks did 150 years ago...you dig your own well; you have a composting out house; you burn wood or other detris for heat; you make your own candles and soap....in other words you spend most of your time working really hard to survive. Your life expectancy will be about 40 years.....No thanks
Those are YOUR rules. That isn't the way it normally happens. A fossilized mindset can be quiet a liability.
