Anonymous Coward User ID: 79763015 Sweden 01/27/2023 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i don't know why he equates "off grid" with no running water and no indoor plumbing. Off Grid means you aren't tied to an outside electrical or water system that isn't your own. That's all. You can be off grid and have electricity from micro-hyrdo, solar or wind power, indoor plumbing and running water. I plan on building my off grid place in the next few years. |

He meant to say it's exorbitantly expensive, like out of the reach of anyone who isn't selling a property on the coast. Solar and wind can provide all your energy needs, if you can drop 20k$ on panels to start, then replace 1k$ batteries per year, 10% power loss per year, then replace everything at 20 years.... Seems easier and cheaper to go grid. |

User ID: 72188102 United States 01/27/2023 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Watched this video earlier today. Excellent story of these folks, who happen to frequent this cyber bar. Great story of two people who grew up what I call the country way, fell in love, start a family, build their homes without a bank being involved. Hard way to live, very old school. Which folks could take a lesson from. Might come in handy when SHTF And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm “How, O Zenobia, hast thou dared to insult Roman emperors?” ...Aurelian, 44th Emperor of the Roman Empire |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79763015 Sweden 01/27/2023 09:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the guy starts the video with the statement of "I see these videos and TV shows with the off grid folks with brand new trucks and millions of dollars of equipment....." That's my feeling when I watched "Alaska the Last Frontier" TV show. It's quite the joke. They say they are subsistence living but have millions of dollars worth of equipment, excavators, fishing boats and boats worth over $100k and 6 brand new ATV's and everything and I'm like "Does it take a million dollars to live a subsistence lifestyle?" I get what he means by it being a joke. |
