AMA living off the grid
Hi OOT!
Long time. Some of you may remember me as the guy who went on this road trip. Then I was thinking about moving to the Pacific Northwest. I didn't do that.
I was back in D.C., working a pretty good job, good apartment, and I realized nothing had changed. So I quit, and now I live on six acres in upstate New York, in a tiny cabin (220 sq feet), with a cat.
The usual q/a: Two generators, two small solar panels, 1.2 kW battery system, propane stove, wood heat, six miles from town, work full time, cell phone provides decent internet, composting toilet and no trouble getting dates.
Biggest surprise: How fast it felt normal.
Ask away.
