Does “going off the grid” mean that you must keep your chairs on the table?
To: yldstrk
In California, being entirely off the grid will result in the state government seizing your property.

He’s smart. Thats what we are doing to the mountain retreat. We are going to keep the electric hooked up until the grid goes down then flip the switch and go on solar. All appliances on propane and 2 1000 gallon propane tanks. Wood stove for heat. The solar will run the ceiling fans in the summer. Might get a little sticky but you can acclimate.

I know nothing about this gentleman's *off-the-grid* situation. From the few pix I found ....I wouldn't call having propane lights necessarily *off-the-grid* ...b/c *someone* has to come by and fill the propane tank in the yard.
To me, what *off-the-grid* means, is totally self-sufficient; that might mean no running water or propane. Even *someone* knows you are there.............the tax collector in the town. ;(
I consider what Dick Proenneke did/lived was *off-the-grid*. Not meaning to take anything away from the congressman.
