My parent's did until recently. Apparently the internet was slow but I couldn't notice it... And of course you have you need to have your septic tank emptied.

Yes, would prefer to have a geo-thermal home with other off-grid options鈥 wood-burning stove, clothesline to air-dry clothing, etc . Would also love to have an off-grid heated greenhouse as well, could grow food year-round that way.

Not off grid. But after retirement Im definitely leaving the city for a small town on a lake.
AlchemyFox 路 36-40, F
Yup and I plan to in my old age.
elafina 路 36-40, F
@AlchemyFox similarly so.. I do it from time to time yet I don't feel yet I'd want to go full on. It's like, I've some work to do and I need to be around people
AlchemyFox 路 36-40, F
@elafina the van thing is ideal for that. I prefer nomadic and I don't want to die in a hospital or nursing home
elafina 路 36-40, F
@AlchemyFox I've never learnt how to drive :) I'd love that...
PerfectionOfTheHeart 路 46-50, F
Yeah. Until I wanted pizza delivered at a crazy hour, like 8pm.

Kind of depends upon what you mean by "off-grid". If you mean being energy-independent, then yes.
If you mean going full-scale out in the boondocks subsistence living, then no.

@Ontheroad full scale more so
Ontheroad 路 M
@Notsimilarreally Yeah, if I could afford to have a couple of people working for me, then yes. Otherwise, it's a whole different life-style that requires a long list of chores that have to be accomplished pretty much daily.
It certainly has a sort of allure, but the realities are anything but romantic.

@Ontheroad No time for internet browsing off the grid eh 馃槅
Longpatrol 路 31-35, M
I'd love to, people tire me.
CrazyMusicLover 路 31-35
Not unless it would surpass the benefits from living in the grid. Too much work, not enough fun.
Besides, I can't go entirely off-grid in the sense of living in a stranded island because I'm dependent on synthetic meds.

I would like to live more independently than we do, but I don't want to be completely off grid and away from town.
Sojournersoul 路 M
Yes I would. Just need some solar, water and I am good. Nice view would be required
HannahSky 路 F

@Notsimilarreally no one has the ability to bother me via a cellphone
It pisses off a lot of people that they can't get a hold of my....from my job to my family
But, I live a very stress free life because of it
Which I think, pisses off those same people that much more.
