FYI comment\Thinking About Going Offgrid? Think Again
90+ percent will never make it. They don't have the skills or brains. I have had off grid places for almost 30 years and I can tell you...
1: Whatever you think it will cost you need to at least double that.
2: However long you think it will take double that too.
3. If you don't know how to fix most everything and very good at improvising, you WILL fail.
4: Wild game will disappear in short order.
5: You will need several sources of water and water storage. 6: You will need livestock and means of protection for them and feed.
7: Propane will run out. You are a lot better off using solar electric for fridges/freezers.
8: If you need a part or anything from town you will lose a day going to get it or if town is not an option you're screwed.
9: You will need a good amount of medical supplies and some knowledge of treatments, antibiotics.
10: You will need as much security as possible. Drones, alarms, cameras, etc.
The list goes on. Virtually no one has what it takes. Even people that have been offgrid for years do stupid things and fail. If you can't do these basic things you are better off staying put. Most off gridders are not very welcoming of strangers.
@GoldieElaine people are lazy and greedy as well and selfish.
They have no worth.
