The term “off-grid” has become a very common expression over the past few years. Much of it has to do with alarming current events. On the other hand, some people have just had enough of being a slave to the modern world. Whatever the reason, going off-grid is a trend growing like wildfire. Yet there are still many people who know little about it.
Let’s assume you’ve never heard anything about off-grid living. You live on the electric grid. If you have power running to your home from the community in which you live, then you are considered “on the grid.” Every time something goes wrong at the electric company, and they suffer a power outage, so do you.
Off-the-grid living means the opposite. Living “off the grid” means:
- You would live with either no electricity or a self-sustained source of electricity, for example from a gas-powered generator.
- You may choose to refrigerate with propane.
- You would also either use an outhouse or a septic tank. You would have a water well or another water source nearby from which to collect water.
- Many of those who are off the grid continue the concept into other areas of their lives, including being totally self-sustained by raising their own food.
