What is the WORST PART of living off grid?

Obviously assuming that the living space is practical and roomy enough.

As long as you are handy, hard-working, and plan ahead for contingencies, there really is no worst part.
Some areas get triple digit temps. So I guess it matters where off the grid then. @LoveWhitz

I live in Iowa it gets to both extremes every year.
Id like to go somewhere that doesnt get as cold. Maybe somewhere i wont constantly worry about the ocean deciding to break a chunk off and hide ot as well as Atlantis.
Hah! @LoveWhitz Hilarious 😂

why would you want to live off grid?

When you signed up for any site even this one, you agree to never be able to be off grid in your life.
So its not possible.

Should have asked this question before you was introduce to the internet

@SW-User it doesnt matter what any agreement says when i sign up for things. I ALWAYS have the choice to no use it.
Maybe you should try some technology free time if thats "the worst part"

providing that you have solar panels for electricity and using only hard cash for expenses ......plus you can always grow your own food...i think the only thing you would be missing is internet. oh yeah you also wouldn't have flowing water.....so that could be something that is a major hurdle.
Lack of toiletries

What type of off grid living do you do? My parents have been talking about buying some land in either Georgia or North Carolina and setting up an off grid tiny home for vacations.

You have to constantly be prepared for anything and have back up plans for your back up plans

It can get lonely if your way off the grid but otherwise the independence is wonderful.
I will eventually live off grid. I will let you know
