Re: Anyone ever think of....
I would LOVE to go off the grid for a while. I've thought about it since I was in boy scouts as a kid. I think it would be really cool to go out into the woods in the mountains somewhere with a backpack and basic essential supplies and live off the land for a couple weeks... Maybe I'll have to do that for a vacation this summer...
Re: Anyone ever think of....
i think about this a lot... if i didnt have a wife and a kid i probably would. i love my family, both extended and immediate, but sometimes the idea of complete simplification is extremely appealing.
Re: Anyone ever think of....
There's a different version of "off the grid" that means not connected to power, cable, water etc.
I have a friend that uses satillite internet, and solar power everything. Gas for cooking. He generates enough solar power that the electric company actually used to pay HIM money. Now he's disconnected completely. I always though it was be nice, but it's more work than I'd want to do honestly. I like stability.
