We're retired and have been living in a small cabin, off grid, for 7 or 8 years.

It's much simpler than we expected.

19th century farmers

Had no grid it was just a matter of how it was.

Many rural farms did not get electric until the 50’s.

I grew up on one.

Horses were the norm until after WWII.

It was only after we became a Urban country that most people .
Don’t realize what life was like. Most of the country.

Would love to know whereabouts you are. We think about this a lot. I’m sure you could give many of us some great insights.
