    Maybe, but my opinion is borne out of experience. Having to drive 40+ minutes for groceries, running a generator for power, a water pump to get running water, and shitting in an outhouse gets old.

    Also, people are nice if you aren’t a shut in. I like being able to wander over to friends’ house without it being that much of a hassle.

        Depends on your house, right. I know someone who lives completely off grid, although they do have indoor plumbing. They’re not even way out in the wilds either, just 10-15 miles from the nearest town. They’re actually only a mile or two from a hydroelectric plant! I’d say it is unusual and unnecessary though, in most cases

      Grow and hunt, solar panels, electric pump, and a septic tank you can pay someone to clear for you. Technology didn’t stop in the 1930’s. You can also invite people to your land, fulfilling your last problem.
