3 Years Off The Grid Summary & Thoughts & Warnings

A summary after 3 years of living off the grid. The Pros. The Cons. What I miss the most. Would I ever go back on the grid?

After losing my job just just about three years ago to date and then losing my apartment the month after, I have been living off the grid and supporting myself.

I was kicked out of my apartment into a camper in the woods in the middle of a blizzard. I did some videos and they were a hit. So I kept making videos.

I stared in a freezing old rotting camper with no light or heat. It was very uncomfortable but it was home.

I later gutted the camper and am building my tiny house on wheels on the trailer of that old camper.

A lot has happened in the three years since then.

I have peace and freedom. I am my own boss. No more getting up to go to work to earn money to put gas in the car so I can get to work. At the end of the month looking at an empty bank account.

I am working towards being self sufficient but that will take some time and that is a story for another day.

I provide my own solar power, rain water collection and use a composting toilet.

The only thing I really miss is unlimited hot water and a long, hot shower.

Other than that, I have no interest in anything I left behind. I would never want to go back on the grid again.

Producing your own power gives you energy independence, freedom from bills and peace of mind. I never have a sudden power outage during a storm. I am in control of my energy.

Same with the rain water collection system. I will never have a sudden shortage of water or a lack of water due to a power outage. I am in control of my own water supply to a certain extent. You get to learn how much water comes down each month of the year and you learn what you can use at any given time. This prevents any water shortages.

Would I ever go back on the grid? No way!!
