Off-Grid Living: A Way of Life
Off-the-grid living isnt a minor modification to your way of life
its a way of life in and of itself. While you can be a survivalist and still maintain your 9-to-5 lifestyle living off the grid is a full-time job and a

- How will you access the Internet if you still need it?
- How many people will be members of your community?
- How will labor be divided throughout the community?
