Most OFF-GRID Homesteaders Get This Wrong
Someone I live with at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage calls off-grid homesteading a Ponzi scheme. I've often thought the same thing. Because our crazy consumer society is so destructive both personally and environmentally, because we are made to feel like just numbers working our lives away until we die, a lot of people are understandably attracted to this way of life that we're told involves disconnecting, living off the land, living a peaceful, easier life in the country away from the hustle and bustle of society and the city.
And most of what we see in the advertising and propaganda about off-grid homesteading is praising a life of rugged individualism, making do by yourself, free from grid dependence, producing your own electricity, heat, water, and food.
But is it real? Can it really be done? Or do the majority of people fail at this or live miserable lives because they can't produce all these things for themselves? Do they actually end up disconnecting from the grid, or do they just connect to the grid in a slightly different way? Are they being made to feel like failures if they can't make it alone in the wilderness, or is this an unrealistic expectation set for them by the propaganda that attracts them to the life in the first place?
I think off grid homesteading is very possible, and a lot more of those who take the plunge into this lifestyle would succeed if they just stop listening to this one bit of the propaganda, if they stopped making this same mistake that is based on one major aspect of the romance of off-grid homesteading.
