I've spent a lot of time reading "off grid" stories. (Just google it) It is entertaininment for me. If people want to go to all that work, let em do it! If I lived off grid I would just be jealous of all those people that only had to pull a lever to flush their poo and those that got to take a HOT shower for longer than two minutes! No thanks, I am going to enjoy life, I worked for it and I deserve it! If you follow enough of these blogs you will see that a majority of the people get tired of living off grid and give it up....(quoted from post at 10:19:51 02/10/12) Just finished reading "Living OFF off-grid", a free book on kindle about living beyond what preppers prepare for, so i find this show interesting. If you like the show, get the book...I thought of a lot of you guys as i read it!
I agree, why stick around and suffer? Bragging rights? LOL!(quoted from post at 17:43:32 02/09/12) My question has always been do you really want to survive doomsday? I'd personally rather go out on first strike. Prolonged natural disaster I'm ready for, but if you are looking at permanent loss of electricity, fuel, healthcare and other essential services count me out.
Living off grid is expensive! Just look at the costs to get started - batteries, windmills, PV systems, special lighting and appliances.....most take 10 years or more to break even and then guess what???? you have to replace everything because it is worn out and out dated! I can't imagine what it will cost to replace batteries 10 years from now....(quoted from post at 10:55:32 02/10/12) Living off grid is very worth while. Once all is set up, one does not pay electric bills any longer. But even better, if not fully off grid, one who still has an electric company account will most likely get money back from that electric company.
Remember, if one is fully dependent on government regulated utility companies, they are not free. Wait till the rates go up out of this world and learn the hard way.
God Bless us all.
