Currently all of the above except phone service. I currently live in a cabin in the woods as a part of my job, but we have a central building with all of that. I love the lack of electricity because it's dark for sleeping and forces me to get off the internet. I do not like the lack of plumbing because if I really need to go to the bathroom, I need to run a lot further.
