interesting how "the grid" would traditionally refer to public sector services such as electricity and running water; we now live in times where there are two grids to speak of, a higher-level, more privatized internet and data grid as well
to which the available "off" options are much fewer - i would reckon that's why the dark net is so much like the wild west ...

I don’t so much want to live off the grid, as I’d like to live in a place with more space—and lower rent. That’d give me more time to spend with my kids. I also figure it’d afford me more time for making stuff I like.

i don't live "off the grid" yet but i'm getting closer. my bills are now under $300/mo (total) and i'm out of debt. if i was rich or had money i'd be totally off the grid by now but i have to figure out how to get some cash next.

Well looking at this thread made me nostalgic.
My parents had enough somewhere in the mid of the '90, and we moved far from the intercity to the suburbs in a nice house with huge garden with basic infrastructure.
They had this idea that we produce what we eat, and that's a great thing to do. This is not so easy for a 5 member family without any past in farming. I can remember the smell of a real tomato, how I loved our bees when they first produced honey, real fresh milk (that's one of the things what was from our neighbor), harvesting cherry for the entire year, and everything was within reach.What I hated was: weeding, watering, cleaning 0-24 (weeding potato on Saturday in 30C it's a pleasure for a kid) , shovel 3-10 layers of chicken or rabbit shit, learn the fact that rabbits are actually assholes. Bugs, insects and shit everywhere. My last memory from this place before we moved that one day I was awoken in the middle of the night because a nice insect went into my ear and scared the shit out of me.
So think about this twice :)
And we all three kids grew up healthy, respecting the nature and with the knowledge how the real things smell and taste :).Oh and my parents marriage ended shorty after we moved to a flat and liquidated almost 10 years of "Living Off the Grid".
