Off grid does NOT mean living like a caveman. It doesn’t mean “roughing it,” and it damn sure doesn’t mean giving up technology, the internet, your phone, or modern conveniences.
If you want to live primitive, that’s fine. Do it. For YOU.
What you don’t get to do is come in here and tell people they’re “not off grid enough,” or that they’re doing it wrong. That crap won’t fly.
This group isn’t here for purist gatekeeping screaming at everyone who doesn’t live like them. Those who try it, and will be banned immediately and permanently. No warnings. No appeals. No exceptions.
There are as many ways to live off grid as there are humans on earth, and every one of them is valid if it keeps you safe, happy, and free. For some, it’s solar panels and wind turbines and battery backups.
For others, it’s raising livestock and growing their own food and living in a cave. It’s perfectly fine to live off grid in a cave, but just because you do doesn’t mean everyone else should too.
And yes, for plenty of people, off grid includes smartphones, laptops, WiFi, and hot showers.
Modern comfort and technological necessity doesn’t cancel out independence.
This group is for everyone on the off grid path.
Whether you’re deep in the woods living in a solar cabin, running a full homestead with every system dialed in, or just starting to plan your escape.
All are welcome.
The only thing that’s not welcome is this narrow-minded “my way is the only way” nonsense.
Off grid living is about freedom. Freedom from the grid, from the utility companies, from control.
That freedom extends to how you choose to live it. One person might thrive with nothing but a tent and a fire pit.
Another might build a self-sustaining smart home with a home theater. Both count. Both are right.
This isn’t a pissing contest. We’re not here to crown who’s “more authentic.”
If you’re cutting ties with the grid and taking control of your life, you’re doing it right. Period.
So here’s the bottom line: Off grid living isn’t one-size-fits-all. There’s no right way. There’s no wrong way. If you get that, welcome.
If you don’t, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
HAPPY OFF GRIDDING!
MAY ALL YOUR OFF GRID DREAMS COME TRUE!
