I’m off the grid now plus I have been for a few years.
I have been working on a place out in the country for a long time plus I finally have it just about exactly how I want it to be.
I am basically self sustaining these days. I have a substantial garden, a well that I dug myself, plus a couple of other water sources. I live right next to a substantial forest plus there are plenty of creatures around for hunting. I can also fish in the river that is close by plus I am raising some of our own livestock plus poultry for food, too. I prefer being off the grid, for the most part, then one of the things that I was sad about when I first moved out here was the lack of a heating plus cooling system; Even though I easily wanted to live off the grid, I did not want to give up our heating plan plus our air conditioner! Now, instead of a gas furnace prefer I used to have, I only heat with a wood burning stove plus a wood burning fireplace. However, I wasn’t easily ready to get rid of our air conditioner. I prefer to have central air conditioner during the Summer plus so I got myself all set up with a great generator so that I can run a window unit air conditioner during the hottest parts of the summer. I truthfully don’t feel that I could commit to living off the grid the way that I have if I did not have a way to run the a/c.
