If I could, I would.
Once upon a time, people worked outside while it was daylight and they could see.
They used candles and kerosene lamps to see at night and it was not wasted.
I suppose some things were a bit harder... icebox instead of fridge, but even that wasn't the worst.
An outhouse is something many now find horrible, but it was a way of life. lol As a teen, an outhouse was our bathroom still and it was a bit rough in winter, but not the worst thing.
Off grid... stop everyone from forcing me to buy their services even if I don't need them... or want them.
Would we be surprised at how productive our days really become if we live that way and have no internet and social media to take away from daily living?
And how about a cow or two, some chickens and taking care of our own needs a lot more than we do now? I'd love the space for a garden of veggies and fruit that I can can and store for winter months.
For me...it seems those days are gone. I really miss them!

@SW-User You could use solar energy and even use solar power for the water well pumps to harvest your water. Having some livestock is looking very attractive these days, with the rising cost of food and future uncertainties.
