The off-grid trend has really caught on in the recent decade or so. More and more people crave the freedom that comes from little or no dependence on money.

Life in the city can get overbearing sometimes and a lot of big-city dwellers find city life a little bit too overwhelming.

Moving off-grid has thus become a popular alternative lifestyle for many. Because of the extreme lifestyle change involved in moving off-grid, naturally, a lot of people would feel intimidated by the big change but are very much generally interested in the movement.

To help make things a lot clearer, here are the five most common FAQs people have for those who are living off grid.

The 5 Most Common FAQs People Have for Those Who are Living off-Grid

How Do You Get Started?

When it comes down to your most basic needs, the only things you need to survive are food, shelter, and water.

Most people off the grid grow their food so they can be self-sufficient and provide themselves with natural, organic food for a healthy lifestyle.

Another issue that most people have with living off-grid is how to access constant running water for drinking, cleaning, and washing.

There are various methods you can explore such as harvesting rainwater or digging wells and boreholes that will provide clean, safe water for your household needs.

When it comes to shelter, there are off-grid shelters you can buy. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can always DIY.

A bit of research will provide you with all the information you need to build a good off-grid home to protect you from extreme weather conditions and provide enough storage for your supplies.

How Do You Get Electricity Living Off-Grid?

Electricity is largely considered a basic human need. It will help provide heating during winter, as well as lighting and energy for essential appliances such as freezers and mobile phones.

But since you won’t be plugged into the national grid, you can look into alternative options such as harnessing solar power or wind energy, use a solar panel estimator to calculate the power consumption estimates.

These are eco-friendly energy sources that will help you power your house without incurring any bills at the end of the month.

How Do You Maintain Contact When Off-Grid?

As alluring as living off-grid is, you don’t want to be completely isolated from the world. Maintaining contact with others is an essential part of modern life, especially with friends and family.

Many off-grid locations have active internet service and cell phone network reception that will ensure you’re still connected.

People living in more remote areas with almost no connection use a cellphone with a signal booster or satellite phones.

How Will You Cook Your Food?

Many people living off-grid prefer to use biogas as a fuel for cooking instead of cutting down trees for firewood.

Biogas is a by-product of human, animal, and plant waste. It is, therefore, a renewable source of gas and heat for your daily needs.

What Happens to Your Toilet Waste?

Most off-grid homes have a biodigester installed to deal with their waste disposal.

Biodigesters help produce biogas that you can use to cook, light up, and heat your home during winter.

Start Your Life off the Grid Today

Now that we have answered most of your questions, there is no reason you shouldn’t decide to move off the grid today.

Since it involves a substantial amount of planning, the earlier you make a choice, the better. Make the leap today and live the life you have always wanted.
